The Most Valuable of All Possessions.

The Des Moines Daily News, q
newspaper that has larger circu-
lation in Iowa than any other news
paper, is appealing to Mr.. Work
ingman Citizen" along the same
lines which MIR. Bryan has been
urging for the past twelve years.
In a recent issue of The News,
attention is called to the fact that a
man may lose his job, his house
may burn, he may be deprived of
his property in many|ways and by
sickness may be deprived of the
privilege Of enjoying life; but his
vote cannot be lost, or burned, or
stolen or it's usefulness impaired
without the consent of its possessor.
And speaking of the value Of vote,
The News truly says:
Millions of men were slaves to a
few before men got the ballot. 1t is
that which guards the poor and
weak against the greed and force of
the rich and strong. It's that which
gives opportunity to every man to
become truly great.
According to the editor of The
News, your vote really means "your
life, your liberty, your right to own
things. to rise and to do things, are
you the only one who thinks your
vote worth only a cigar, or the
handshake from schemer in bread:
cloth?
You have grievances. The rich
beat you out of justice before the
courts. But your vote helped put
that bootlicking Judge on the bench.
"a fenderless car mangles you,
child. How did you vote when the
fellows elected to enforce the laws
were passing out the drinks and
cigara?
IA corporation jails you for per.
suading a Chinaman not to take YOU
Job. Did he ever vote you and you,
fellow workmen as body?
Haven't you had hundred les
sons showing that the interests tina
Cypress You value your vote very
very highly?
Verify, your most important
most valuable possession, according
to the estimate of those you believe
to be robbing and depressing you
is your vote. Shall they control il
through vile chicane, false issues
and betrayal Of your selfish, self.
constituted leaders? Or, will you
use it as your dearest possession,
for yourself?

the north door Of the capitol, and was
made large enough to accommodate
the candidates, the members Of the

concerned, many Republicans taking

political features were the addresses

had collected. When the nominees
and other distinguished men appeared
on the grounds mighty cheer arose,
which was prolonged until all the
guests of.Lincoln were seated on the

Mack took the chair us presiding ON

chair introduced Representative Clay
ton, who was to make the notification
speech, and at his appearance the
cheers again broke forth. AS soon us
silence was restored he began his;
speech. Isl. Il {iss. ~ .
He said the convention that nomi-
mated Bryan WAS notable for the
unanimlty Of it's conclusions. standing
Tor the application Of Democratic prin-
clples In public aifairs, and that ii
nominated Bryan without the inter
ventioh. Of a ballot; that the commit
tee appointed by that convention was
here present TO- bring to Bryan this
message from a united and aggres-
siye Democracy. Our great party is
confident OF the righteousness Of its
case, and relying upon the support Of
the people IL determined to rescue the
government OF the republic from the
hands OF the despoilers who have "a
plotted 1t for the benefit Of favorites
to the injury Of the masses Of plain
people.
"It Il hardly worth while to say, sir,
that In the Judgment Of your part,
associates and our countrymen gen

platform. And 1t is equally crafty
ing that there is nothing In the plat
form calling for apology. There Is
nothing that you would avoid or run

that yon need Supply by giving your
Individual Views. In these respects
you have a tremendous advantage OF
your Republican opponent. Standing
on such platform, possessed OF an
iabiding conviction that our cause is
lust. you will draw the keen blade
,sof righteousness and truth, throwing.|
away the scabbard, and Fight for the
principles Of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none."

This Is Evidenced by the
Large Number of Divorce
Cases Filed During the
Present Term Of Court.
NO CHANCE OF CLEARING
THIS TERMS DOCKET.
Lawyers of the Bar Seem to
Act on Policy, ''Postpone a
Case i Possible Till judy
ment Day"

Since the opening Of the January
term of the circuit court there have
been twenty-siX civil cases heard and
of this number eleven have been di-
vorce suits 4 divorce has been gran
ted in each one OF these cases. Since
the first of January there have been
twenty divorce complaints filed in the
circuit court but all have not been Civ
en- a hearing as yet Of the divorces
granted by the court the majority of
the complaints were filed last year.
Four of the divorces granted have
been on the ground of cruel and inhu-
man treatment; one for drunkenness;
five for abandonment and one for
failure to provide.
Considering the fact that the Janu-
airy term will come to a close in about
three weeks the layman wonders how
the court and the members of the
Wayne county bar propose to transact
the large amount Of business on the
civil docket. 1t will be remembered
that before the beginning of the Janu-
airy term, it was stated that there
would be heavy inroads made in the
civil docket before the first of April.

sought to tear her from the weight

the flames which were creeping close.
Although he worked with a despera-
ton of despair his strength was I'M
equal to the task. He fought until his
clothing was partly burned from him

On the ground that their burdens
should not be increased through the
necessity of paying for city improve

give them every opportunity to keep
their men on the pay roll instead of
letting them off. as has been the case
at many other places. the manufacture
ers whose places of business arc locat-
ed along North f street. held a meet
ing this morning and decided to make
a determined fight against the paving
Of the street as decided upon by the
board Of public works. The manu-
facturers contend that the only thing
needed on North l. street is good ma

the citys expense. and t0at there is no
need of paving, and putting in cement

Present at the meeting were men

Seidel Buggy company, the George W

Manufacturing company, J. NJ. Hutton
& Company. the Richmond Chain
company and i'll addition four resi-
dence properties situated on the street
were represented.
The question of paving North T
street has long been live topic and ar
effort was made to put the worL
through last season, but it was hclt
, over to this season by the board. Ac
tion has been taken by the board with
a view to beginning the work early thi:
season and putting the street into the

should be in but it is evident that {
hard fight will be waged against any
