BRYAN !


The Bryan boom is on-and
launched in New York city. We
believe he will be the nominee of
the Democratic party for Presi-
dent-and his nomination will be
followed by election. He is 4
man of destiny.
HIS defeats were but examples
OF right on the scaffold and wrong
on the throne. AS a statesman
he was in advance of his day and
the car of conservatism is now
making strenuous efforts to keep
pace with him.
His private character has been
under the search light Of two
fierce contests and it shines as
bright as the sword of Eden's
sentinels, His public utterances
are uneqalled By any in the his
tory of modern politics. His con-
ception of civic duty and his plea
for civic righteousness, together
with his bold assaults upon the
seats of the mighty corporations
and public corruptionists, have
caused the great throbbing hearts
OF the people to beat more warm
~ for him than for any other
citizen of the Republic.
The Presidents popularity is
the result of his tendency to what
we might term Organism. The
people love fighter and the man
who has the pluck and the power
TO make a third splendid fight
after two defeats. will be re-
warded with a deserved success.
We had thought it possible
that those defeats might have
created too many antagonisms.
but from the temper of the
Democratic members Of Congress
and the conditions in New York
and the East, we believe the
great commoner of Nebraska to
be stronger and greater than ever.

THE CONGRESSIONAL
NOMINATION..

Mr., Ohio T. Mears, of North
amptoR County, has announced
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Congress in oppo-
sition to Hon. w. A. Jones, the
present incumbent. Mr.. Mears
was at one time Commonwealth
Attorney for his county. So far
as we are advised he has never
made a political speech on this
side of the Bay.
We have never. SO far as
we can recall. known Of his
taking any leading part in
shaping. in Convention, the poll
cies of his party. We do not re-
call that we have ever read Of
Mr., Mears having met single
one of the enemy in debate on
the Eastern Shore. We have no
doubt that he is a very nice gen
tleman. We concede him TO be
lawyer of ability.
We are, however, disposed to
very grayely question the sufh-
cient distinction and the quantum
OF his party services to warrant
the Democrats of the Pirst dis
trict in comforting upon him this
high honor.
If Mr.. Mears has been in the
khick Of the fight and upon the
firing line where the battle was
2ercest, some echo Of the engage
ment il would seem, might have
reached this shore, even If the
smoke OF battle could not be seen

The Improvement in the physical con-

of grades and curves on the chief lines
has been prosecuted with vigor. Per

old wooden structures. The use of con-
crete masonry is now almost UNIVERSAL
and the results are Of the most salts

improvement has been in the rapid

AreAnic.

Arsenic has been known from very
early times as a deadly poison. 1t Is
believed to have been the means EN-
ployed by Nero to remove his enemies,
and there is little doubt that 1t was
also known to and employed by Mes
salina and Agrippina. During the mid
die ages it was extensively used as a
secret poison, being sold by alchemists
and prisoners of Italy under the name
of widows powders" or succession
powders" It's properties were definite
ly ascertained and made public by
Brandt in 1873. The plant from which
asafetida is produced Is native OF
Persia, Afghanistan and northern
India. In all these countries the In
habitants use ii as q seasoning foI
their meat and vegetables, much as RED
pepper is employed by the natives OF
Mexico and South American states
The odor is not deemed by them In the
least offensive.
