PROSPECTS ARE ERIenT.

" LILLIAN JENNINGS BRYAN Is for
" the St. Louis ticket and platform.
David Bennett Hin is marching with
Mr.. Bryan.
Grover Cleveland has taken his place
III the ranks.
Sometimes we rub our eyes and Won
der II we are not beholding a mirage
We pinch ourselves to see If IL isn't all
a beautiful dream. The thing seemed
so impossible a year ago. It seemed
equally impossible a month or six
weeks ago. Now it has actually come
to pass. The Democratic party really
is united united on a platform that
suits the east and the west and the
south. united on candidates that are
satisfactory to all the party.
William Randolph Hearst sends a
telegram TO Judge Parker congratulate
ing him on his Nomination and predict
ing a great Democratic victory in No
Vember. Whatever else may be said
about Mr.. Hearst, he is clear grit. He
made his fight before the convention
and in it. and he stopped fighting MS
own people as soon as the convention
adjourned. The Democratic party viii
have TO more loyal support from any
quarter than il viii receive from VII
liam Randolph Hearst and his news
papers If every Democrat had had his
spirit the party would not have wan
dered in the wilderness of defeat for
eight years.
The situation certainly looks good for
the Democratic party President Roose-
welt, in the fun flush Of his war glory,
ran for governor Of New York in 1898
and escaped defeat by only a few
thousand votes. 1t looked, indeed, as
if he would be defeated. in spite of his
Boosted popularity. Against him this
year is a big, brave, popular Demo-
crat. one with an unbroken line of vic
tories to his credit President ROOse-
welt VIII lose New York this year
And he viii lose enough of the other
states carried by President Mckinley
n 1886 and in 1890 TO insure a Demo
cratic victory.

DISSATISFIED REPUBLICANS.

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM is not
/ entirely satisfactory to some of the
more prominent Republican newspa-
pers. The st. Paul Pioneer Press. for
instance. handles its psrty's declara-
tons. especially on the tariff. in a
manner that may be described as saw
age. On the tariff. it viii be Temem-
bered. the platform says:
we insist upon the maintenance OF
the principles of protection, and there
fore rates Of duty should be readjusted
only when conditions have so changed
that the public interest demands their
alteration"
This plank. the PiOneer-PTess says,
IS. TO say the least. in part unsatisfac-
tory" And further along It says: ct
comedies the principle but ignores the
fact that many Republicans believe
that conditions have already so changed
that the public interest demands the
readjustment OF tariff rates. It is a
masterpiece Of adroit non-cOmmittalism
on this question. The specious
generaHtes of the platform on the sub
weak. evasive and wholly unsatisfac-
tory
Nor is the tariff plank satisfactory
10 another influential northwestern pa
per with strong Republican inclina-
lions. This is the Minneapolis Times,
which says:
1T cannot be denied that It VIII be
matter Of regret TO the Republicans
of the agricultural states. and especial
Is those of the northwest. that little
more is offered on this subject than the
statement that we cannot trust the
Democratic party to revise the tariff.
If the Democrats should sue
coed IN making a few gains in the
house on this issue there would be
some hope of a Republican awakening.
and it is not impossible that few dis
tricts may be wrested from the con-
trol Of the dominant party on that very
question"
1t IS, of course, too much 10 expect

called Iowa idea" has its strongest
support, to give their electoral votes 10

from a Republican newspaper that the
party for which it stands is in q fair

lie. must be founded upon a rspresen-
tation Of the whole people. If. during al
these years. one-half Of the men and
oae-half Of the women had partie-
ipated in national affairs We might
then have approximated an example
of representative government: but,
having admitted only men and ex-
eludei women, with all that women
stand for in morality, temperance. -e-
1igion. conscientiousuess. love Of home,
spirituality and exalted ideals, we are
utterly without data upon which to
base conclusions
In common with other prominent
women suffragists Miss Harper adj
mits that no other nation IN the wo-Id
accords 10 women such opportunities
and so large a measure Of independence
and liberty as the women of the United
States receive. IF they were all given
the privilege Of voting nothing would
be left for them to desire in the way
Of equal rights. But the constitution
Of the United States and the constitu-
tons Of a majority of the states pro-
vide tkat only male eltiAns VINO have
attained the age OF q years, combined
with other qualifications. shall have
the right to vote.
It has been an almost hopeless fight
for the women on this account, except
in some states that have already
granted them the suffrage. Miss Har-
per calls attention TO the reluctance
with which cons ftUtions are changed.
She says the women have been laughed
out OF congress on this account ard
out Of many states for the same rea-
son. This, notwithstanding the fact
that in states where women have the
fun suffrage they have manifested the
ability to exercise it inteHigently and
with patriotism.
II any further evidence is needed II
may be found in Miss IIarper's state
ment-which she can doubtless verify
that one-tenth Of the mnIionaires OF
the country are women. that they pay
taxes on billions of dollars worth Of
property, that 43LI5S Of them are in
the professions, that they are presl-
dents of banks and various large cor
poratious and that they ale recognized
as an influence IN every walk Of bust
ness life.

excellent arguments in favor of suif-

for women what most people are now

WATER AS MEDICINE.

THE BEST MEDICINE in the world,
L according to an eastern authority,
is plain water. He says that if people
would make a practice Of drinking a
large glass Of water as soon as they
get up in the morning. and it doesn't
make any difference whether the water
is hot or cold, there would be less sick
ness. The effect OF water on the stom-
ach is ukened TO the effect Of water on
the face. All of Us know how refresh
ing a cold plunge in the morning is. It
freshens Us and makes Us ready for the
days work.
The drinking Of water in the morning
is urged as being just as necessary on
the ground Of cleanliness and good
health as the washing Of the body. We
are told that sleep draws upon the wa
ter in the system and the food in the
stomach has disa ppeared, if everything
is normal In it's place is left a mucous
substance that should be washed out.
A glass of water does this quickly and
effectively. It is easily swallowed and
the habit soon becomes fixed. There are
those who would no more think Of sit
ting down to breakfast without first
drinking a glass OF water than they
would think Of going downtown with
out washing their faces.
It has often been argued that the
wonderful curative qualities of some
celebrated springs are not wonderful
al all. Those who drink of their wa
ters note an improvement in their
health because they drink a great deal
more water than they have been in the
habit of drinking. not because the wa
ters themselves possess any beneficial
qualities. Undoubtedly there is some
thing in this theory.
II is particularly desirable, for those
who want to be we'll, and all Of US do.
TO drink an abundance OF water, not
only before breakfast but throughout
the day This is specially true during
the hot weather. But it is not advisable
to drink ice water Did you know that
there is such a person as the ice water
drunkard? Some men and women can
no more resist the temptation to drink
ice water than others can resist the
temptation to indulge in intoxicants.
And they know ice water in large guam
titles is not good FOR them.
Drink cold water, not ice water. and
plenty of it. and see if it doesn't help
you.
