Mr. Bryan has recently been giving
the republicans some unpleasant remind
ers in his speeches. relative to their claim
of being the only original prosperity
makers. During the campaign of 1896
the republicans were very free ito charge
the democrats with being directly respon-
sible for the panic of 1893. which occur
red during democratic administration,
and if their contention was'applicable at
that time, by the same mode of reason
ing they cannot escape the responsibility
of this latest and greatest of panics, which
has been bligating> the country, despite
the much yheralded benefcent regime of
the 6. o. P. Their presidential candi-
date during that campaign was heralded
as the advance agent of prosperity"
whose election would insure the restora-
tion of prosperity. There has been some
thing of change since then, and the
republicans now find themselves with a
large sized, dyed-in.the. wool panic on
hands, which must necessarily:be labeled
a republican panic," if the other was a
democratic panic, and according to their
own logic the election of Bryan can be
demanded to insure return of pros
perity! This sort oe reasoning was
looked upon as fine logic twelve years
ago, by the republicans, but some how or
other they now contend this is anof year
for It, and it won't apply

Governor Crothers, being well aware
that the republican managers in Mary
land intend, if possible, to resort to the
corrupt use of money at this election, as
they have done at past elections, has sent
out warning note that he is arranging
plans whereby it will be impossible for
any man to violate the Corrupt Practices
act without being detected and compelled
to suffer the penalties. The Governor is
determined that the law shall be observ.
ed, declaring the State has the machinery
to enforce it, and that the machinery will
be used to the limit.

SHAKING DOWN THE TRUSTS.
chas. c. Dawes Visits Wall Street and
Promises Republican Party VIII
Be Good.

Under New York date line of Sept.
~ the daily papers of the country
publish dispatch from which the fol
lowing is taken:
"The visit of Charles G. Dawes, Of
Chicago (formerly Comptroller of the
Currency, had more influence than
anything else in arousing Wall street
uneasiness. Mr.. Dawes came to New
York primarily to raise money for the
Republican congressional campaign
committee, and he gave the people he
called upon very clearly to under
stand that the Republican majority in
the house is in danger.
''Wall street has steeled itself
against the opportunities of political
canvassers for funds, but Mr.. Dawes
visit was unquestionably impressive.
The people who saw and heard him
were convinced that he really meant
what he said when he announced that
unless means were taken to arrest the
current and change the situation the
Democrats would swing into control

did not confine his visit alone to
bankers and financiers He devoted a

interests. He carried away some
money, but not nearly as much as he
had hoped for"

P. M. Sharpless, of West Chester, man
ufacturer of the .Sharpless separator, a
machine well known to most of our
dairymen and farmers, has posted notice
in his factory, with the view of coercing
his employees and influencing them 10
vote the republican ticket, that, in event
of the election of Mr.. Bryan TO the presi-
dency, the separator plant will be closed
inde6nitely, and all the hands thrown
ont of work. Not satisfied with this
cowardly threat to take advantage of his
workmen. all employees of the factory
were virtually ordered to take part in the
republican parade and demonstration
held ia West Chester on Friday evening
of last week. This open attempt of Mr.
Sharpless at coercion is more than
likely to prove boomerang when the
men come to vote, as it is pretty GER
tain they will unhesitatingly assert their
independence. There is nothing quite so
despicable in the eyes of the public gen.
orally as such threat on the part of an
employer of labor, to take away the bread
and butter of his men if they fail to vote
as ordered. Mr.. Bryan holds this West
Chester manufacturer up to ridicule in
the following manner:
"A press dispatch announces that a
Pennsylvania manufacturer of separators
has given notice TO his employees that
the factory will close down FOR an ex.
tended period if l am elected This is
the most discouraging threat that have
yet read. Ihad supposed that the cows
would 60 on giving milk under demo-
cratic administration as we'll as under a
republican; but, if as result of my cleo
ton, cows are going to dry up in Novem-
ber aud not become fresh again for four
years, it will really be a serious matter.
There must be some mistake about
this separator business. The men may
be manufacturing the separator that the
republican party has been using. for it
has been using separator that has sep.
arated the cream from the milk and it
has given the cream TO the monopolies,
and the skinned milk to the rest of the
people That kind of a separator will no
longer be used aud those who manufac-
ture it may 6nd their occupation gone,
hut for the rest of the people it will be a
glad day, day Of rejoicing"

DO THE PEOPLE RuLEa
All the Recent Publications Convince
the Voters that Trusts Control
Legislation.

After all the excitement over the
publication of the Standard Oil letters,
showing that trusts control legisla-
tion, has reached the stage where the
voters sift the wheat from the chaff of
sensational publications, what will be
the logical conclusion in the minds
OF the voters? It will be:
THAT the people do not rule be-
cause the national lawmakers legis-
late to suit the trusts. More trusts
exist today than ever, the people suf-
fer more from them, and they prac-
tice more extortion.
2.-That the party In power Is the
party. through which the trusts rule.
The Republican party is now in power.
It writes all the national laws. In
speech In the last Congress, Mr.. Sher-
man candidate for vice-President),
declared that the Republican party
assumed all responsibility for every
thing that has been done and for what
has not been done. That is right.
The trusts write the tariff laws passed
by Republican votes. If the magnates
are not punished criminaily, 1t is be-
cause Republican officials fail In their
duties. For eleven years the Demo-
Gratis have had no power to frame
Federal laws or to execute Federal
statute. If everything in America is all
right as to Federal laws for eleven
years, the Republican party deserves
the credit. If "evils have crept in"
the Republicans are responsible. The
only hope for a change lies In the cleo
tisn Of Bryan.
Suppose some individual Democrat
has been employed by trust. He
could not get law passed, he could
not get ian immunity BATH" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless a majority of the Republican
Congressman favored the trust meas
ures. The Republican orators can not
escape responsibility by trying to pick
out some Democrat who has been en-
pIoyed by trust. Recent disclosures
prove that the people do not rule, but
that the trusts owe their existence and
fatness to Republican laws and Repub-
lican officials.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The serious war on tuberculosis which
has taken on great vigor and many new
recruits since the international tubercu.
losis congress here is absorbing the in
terest of many organizations in the Dis
trict of Columbia and while the political
campaign is disposed of in one or two
columns daily of the local papers there is
scarcely a column that does not have
some reference to the crusade against the
great white plague. There is an edu.
cational congress in session in the Capt.
tai at present but it has resolved itself into
a second tuberculosis Congress and many
and extensive are the plans being made
for educating the teachers, the children
and the general public in the methods of
preventing the disease. The temperance
societies, the labor unions, the churches
and clubs of men, women and school
children are all discussing the subject
and an average of two or three lectures
each evening are being delivered by
prominent men who are interested 10 the
work. The results are not to be esti-
mated or even imagined. An awakening
of the public mind to the danger of the
disease and to its preventable character
will do more it is believed by physicians
to stamp it out than can be accomplished
in any other way This awakening has
been gradual throughout the country but
a wonderful impetus has been given it by
recent proceedings here and their broad
cast publications. Plans are being made
now for travelling exhibits to be taken
into remotest school districts to show the
effect of fresh air, cleanliness and proper
food on the prevention of the disease and
of advanced methods of preventing its
spread from those already afflicted
Speakers are being engaged by various
organizations TO go through the country
lecturing to the careless and the ignorant
about it. A special effort will be made to
educate children and especially colored
people who are especially liable to the
disease. Funds of course are necessary
for this work and many wealthy men are
being appealed to for contributions TO
further the work. Children are taken in
classes here each day to the exhibits
which have been arranged by countries
and states to show the progress of the
work and it should be amusing if it were
not so serious to see the wild eyes of the
little Americans when they are shown
under the microscope the bacilli which
threaten them on every side. Notwith-
standing the persistent beliefof DR.. Koch
that tuberculosis is not conveyed by cows
milk every effort will be made to convince
the people that various infections do
linger in milk and a campaign of edu-
cation on the care and cleanliness with
which milk must be handled if it is not
to be menace to health, will be prose-
cuted. So enthusiastic have the people
of Washington become on the subject
that it is being discussed on the streets,
in the homes, at church and in all gather
ings. When Nazimova, the wonderful
Polish actress alluded in an Ibsen play

DRESSED DOG AS BABY.

How q Woman Outwitted stony
Hearted Street Car Conductors.
This is a real true dog story
He is a pug and great pet Of his
mistress, who is very fond Of his fine
pedigree. One day she discovered that
Teddy could not see as well as usual.
She felt as sad as If he were brother
or sister and famous oculist was con-
suited, who told her to bring her pet
dog to him.
They started, but a great obstacle
presented itself. Conductor after con-
ductor insisted that the dog should not
ride on his car, says the Portland Ore
gonian; so that it was only after get
ting on and off about dozen times
that the doctors office was reached.
Teddy was as quiet as he could be
while having his eyes examined, and
his mistress was told she must bring
him every day for month, and all
would be done for him that was posi-
BILE. So Teddy's mistress went to q
neighbor who had a small baby and
borrowed an outfit that was not too
dainty. Teddy kept very quiet while
being dressed in the long white dress,
then a cloak and muslin cap, and over
the face long white veil.
Thus they started. Immediately upon
entering a car. if it was filled, up
would jump a man to give the woman
carrying a little baby a good seat.
Teddy never wagged his little curled-
up tail once, neither did he bark.
Each day the trip was taken with
the same result-a good seat and a
very quiet baby.
One day the doctors Office was filed
with people waiting their turn, when a
woman turned politely to Teddy's mis-
tress and said: my turn comes next
aid l will wait for you on account Of
your baby. 1t is so very tiresome to
wait with baby"
The doctor opened his door at that
moment and called them both in his
private office. He said. 81 will show
you the very best patient l have" and
took Teddy carefully in his arms. He
threw back the white veil and dis
closed the dogs little pug nose and a
pert little face looking out cutely from
under the frills of the cap.
Teddy can see pretty we'll out of one
eye now. His mistress expected huge
bill for the experts service, but in
stead she received receipted bill from
the good doctor with a note saying that,
as Teddy was the first patient he had
ever treated of royal dog blood, he
esteemed it a great honor to have been
the means of helping him.
