Johnson, of Minnesota. n, after beine
elected twice in a Republican state
he Is nominated the third time

carrying Minnesota again for the
ticket, recalls an old testament Incl

PATHETIC And
FUTILE APPEAL
Is Way Socialist Leader Des-
cribes Bryan's Bid.
Declares Labor Plank Of 1895 Wa,
Far More Progressive Than That
Adopted al Denver.
HIS CLAIMS ARE INsINCERE

New York, Aug. 27.-John Spargo,
the Socialist leader and author, has
sent to Bryan a long letter in which
he answers the appeal made by the
latter at Indianapolis for SociaHIst
votes.
Spargo Is a member of the national
committee Of the Socialist party. and
was chairman of the committee on
resolutions at the national convention
OF the Socialists.
In his letter he says it was bold
bid for the Socialist support which
the Democratic presidential candidate
calls 1t a pathetic and futile appeal.
He Argues that the claim Is insin-
cere and that the Democratic party Is
seeking a remedy for known abuses
declaring that known abuses" are
no where so fragrant as in the south
which Is almost wholly Democrats
Spargo also asserts that conditions In
the south. with peonage and Other
evils rampant through the alleged
federation of Democratic Office hold
ers. are not an Indication of any sin
cere desire on the part OF the Demo
cratic party for the people to rule.
In addition he tells Bryan tina
democratic judges have been jus
as ready to serve injunctlons, ant
Democratic employers to seek them
as Republicans" and he argues tina
the labor plank in the Democratic
platform OF 1896 was far more pro
gressive than In the present plat
form.
There is no place in the Demo
cratic party" concludes the letter
"for men who are looking and hop
ing for better. and more just, socsa
conditions"

COLORED SYNOD
PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH OF KENTUCKY.
ing Liquors and Listens to
Addresses.

After the enrolment of the Ken
lucky synod OF the colored Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, the morer-
stor appointed the following commit
tees: On education, on missions. on
temperance, on ministerial relief, on
finance and on memorials.
The morning session was quiet
and all seemed to be in perfect har-
money and willing to concert every
effort for the extension of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church In Ken
lucky.
The afternoon session was fun OF
interest
The committee on churches re-
port was full of encouragement but
showed a sad lack of missionaries 20
start work in several important
towns.
The report on temperance was dis
cussed at length and the synod goes
on record as emphatically condemn
ing the use Of intoxicating liquors in
any form as a beverage.
The Rev. G.. w. Robertson and
Prof. George w. Jackson we're intro
duced to the synod and made some
timely and encouraging remarks on
the work of the minister.
The Rev. c. p. McLurkin, ID. D.,
responded in filing words. saying
''the Cumberland Presbyterian was
showing and demonstrating to the
world a higher quality. That he, the
negro. could control a spiritual re
public. That while II controls 10000
negroes I'm this country not one boy
or man from the house OF c. p.
member had ever been lynched for
the horrible and unspeakable crime
of assault. These are the principles
which Cumberland Presbytcrians in
culcate in its followers: honesty, In
dustry, virtue and truth.
The synod was addressed last night
by Rev. W. A. Covington. Endure
Hardness as a Good Soldier" Mr..
Covington carried his congregation
with him.
Today is the last of the synod, but
there will be an interesting program
tonight by the State Sunday School
convention.

Children And the World.

One of the worlds greatest physi-
clans upon his death bed called his
children about him and said: "When

tice."
When they read his will it direct
ed them to a safety vault which con-
tained a large envelope marked thus:
"The Secret of Life. Upon opening
it they read: ''Don't abuse the stom-
ach." This profound thinker after a
long life of medicine knew the stom-
ach TO be the throne of man.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will help
you make stomach healthy.
If it is worn out and lacks the fluids
of digestion these tablets will take
the place of such fluids.
If 1t is filed with poisonous juices,
these tablets will noutraiize ana re-
move such poison.
If you cannot eat without agony
these tablets will show you how you
can. If you will eat foolishly, or
drink excessively, or II business de-
mands abuse of stomach, these tab
lets after meals will make such
abuse Light, for they take the hard
ship away from the stomach.
They are great digesters, filed with
more powerful agents than the system
can give. They go back into the
blood, after they have digested a
meal, thereby increasing the ability OF
nature to take care of digestion with
out exhausting other organs.
High livers need feel no consider
able hardship If they will eat one OF
these little tablets after rich or
late meal.
