DIR. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the

received from n Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
Or S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir: 1.-THE young girl who useo
the Peruna was suffering from LarynQi-
It's, and loss of voice. The result of the
treatment was most satisfactory. She
found great relief, and after fartheruse
of the medicine we hope to be able to
say she Is entirely cured" Sisters Of
Charity.
This young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat, with good re-
suits, MS the above letter testifies.

50 demonstrates that in the so-called
sympathy strikes, there is little SYM
pathy shown by the chief actors for
those who suffer most. The strike it
self is one of those large affairs which
grow from a small cause. A change
had been made according to Il con-
tract, entered into two years ago, in
the wages paid the laborers in the Chi

~ few men were affected and the
wages of the skilled workers were not
at all disturbed, yet the latter. organ

the dispute ana a general strike ordcr
was issued i'm Chicago and other meat
packing centers. Before the men quit
work the packers offered to arbitrate
but this was declined on the plea that
it came too late. And 50 some 10000

self had been made when the con-
vention WAS on the verge of closing,
he theoretically" and "courageously
sent that famous telegram declaring
that he was a gold standard man.
Some of the Democratic organs pre-
tend to be in transports of ecstasy
over his mobile" stand at that time. but
Mr.. BRYAN punctures any such illusions
Inv demanding why Judge Parker did
NOT make his declaration before the
convention met, or at least before his
| nomination had been made. For many
ho,,rs. even for two days. the rest of
the country knew that the Democratic
nlatform would not contain the gold
standard plank. but during that time
.Mdce Parker failed to send any tcle-
gram to ST. Louis declaring that he was
a gold standard man, and would not
stand upon dishonest and straddling
platform. He was not the kind of a
hero to risk his nomination that way,
and his managers, Hill and Belmont,
were not the kind of managers to allow
him to take such chances, even if he
had been inclined to do so; but when
the nomination was safely bagged and
the convention. wearied out by days
and nights of fighting. was almost
ready to adjourn, he sent his gold dis
patch.
Small wonder that the great masses
of the Democratic party declare that
Parkers nomination was obtained by
a trick, and whether it was a trick of
Judge Parker himself or the trick of
Hill and Belmont the effect upon the
candidates standing before the coun-
try is the same. The heroic" dccla-
ration of Judge Parker for godfather
he had twice voted for Bryan and so

been secured for him in the South ard
West, who would never have been
captured had the declaration been made
before the vote was taken-iS certain
to react upon his candidacy for the
highest office in the gift of the Amert-
can people 1t was bold stroke, but
it smacks too much of the unscrupu-
iousness o. various other gigantic bull
CO games Which New York capitalists
have perpetrated upon the people of
the country.
