pLuTOcRAcY ABHORRENT.

w. J. Bryan in his home coming speech at New York, closes with the following:
 ''Plutocracy is abhorrent to re- public; it is more despotic than anarchy, more heartless than aris- tocracy, more selfish than bureau cracy. It preys upon the Nation in time of peace and conspires against it in the hour of calamity. Con- scienceless, compassionless and de void of wisdom, it enervates its votaries while it impoverishes it's victims. It is already sapping the strength of the Nation, vulgarizing social life and making a mockery of morals. The time is ripe for its overthrow. Let us attack 1t boldly, making our appeal to the awakened conscience of the Nation in the name of the counting room which it has defiled, in the name of business hon or which it has sullied, in the name of the people whom it has oppressed, in the name of the homes which il has despoiled and in the name of religion upon which it has placed the stigma of hypocrisy. And if ] may bepermitted to suggest battle hymn propose stanza, but slight. ly changed, from one of the strong est of the poems of Scotland's great Democratic bard:
 Columbia, my dear, my native soil,
 For whom my warmest wish tc
 Heaven is sent,
 Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toi Be blest with health, and peace, ant
 sweet content.
 And o, may Heaven their simple lives
 prevent
 From luxury's contagion, weak anc
 vile.
 Then, though unearned wealth to wick
 edness be lent,
 A virtuous populace may rise ane
 stand
 A wall of fire around their much loved
 land

If so, it will interest you to know that it can be stopped with Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills; and without any bad after effects, and this without dan ger of forming a drug habit or having your stomach disar- ranged. They positively con tain no opium, morphine, CO., caine, chloral, ether or chloro- form in any form. Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain, and leave only a sense of relief. The reason for this is explained by the fact that headache comes from tired, irritable, turbulent, over-taxed brain nerves. Anti Pain Pills soothe and strength en these nerves, thus removing the cause. They are harmless when taken as directed.
 We use Dr. Miles Pain Pills for the cure of headache, and we think that there Is nothing that will equal them.

viii This Make You shudder7
(Springield Republican,


Since railroading began people have
imagined the case of the engineer who
should suddenly die at the throttle
and leave the train, filed with passen-
gers, to the mercy of chance for the re-
mainder of the run. Engineers, like
othes men, may have heart disease or
apoplexy, and, if they have attacks
while on duty, there YOU are. This
longima gined case actually was rea-
lizedf-and perhaps il has been many
times before-on a fast express train
running from T-enton to Philadelphia
last Thursday. The engineer died at
his post, nobody knows just when, but
the dead hand remained on the throttle
and the sightless eye continued for
miles and miles to glare along the road
bed in front of the rushing train. The
fireman observed nothing unusual; the
track was clear; every switch was
prope ly turned and the flyer sped on
within scheduled time. Not until the
train approached Philadelphia and a
place was reached where the speed is
usually slackened did the fireman feel
a thcill of alarm. Thy were entering
the city like the whirlwind, and then,
examining the engineer, he found him
dead Suppose wreck had occurred
before the ireman's discovery. The
engineer would have been found
"killed," and his negligence"
would have been held responsible fo-
the disaster.
