BRYAN TRUE TO SILVER IDOL
Belief In His Panacea Will Remain
mistaken.
Declaration of Faith Made to Cover
the Past, the Present and the
Future.

1t would be extremely unkind to
say that Mr.. Bryan is tickle in his
political belief. His best friends |.
would be the last to make such an
assertion, for they realize thoroughly |
that their leader, when he has once
implanted ii conviction firmly in his
mind, clings to it like grim death.
This is especially true of Mr.
Bryan's attitude on the silver ques-
tion through which he first rose to
prominence. He has very little to say
about that question at present, but
that he is absolutely certain that
it is subject Of the greatest i'm
portance and that his own particular
financial panacea is the only safe
guide for the United States may be
| plainly seen from the following ex
tracts from his collected wisdom:
In an address at the Jefferson Club
banquet at Lincoln, Neb., December
20, 1900, Mr.. Bryan said:
The principles for which we con-
tended in the last campaign still live,
and we who believe in them must
continue to fight for them. An cleo
ton does not change principles; il
only determines what principles shall
for the time being be applied"
In the North American Review, ii
the same month, Mr.. Bryan recorded
this declaration of faith:
ITO consider this election as de
eisive of the money question woult
be as absurd as to have regarded tn
election of 1896 as decisive of tn
tariff question. 1t would be NOR
reasonable to regard the late electio
as conclusive upon the question 9
Imperialism or upon the trust que'
ton, both of which were discusse
more by our people than the none
: question.
The increased production of go
has lessened the strain upon gol
and had to some extent brought Il
y relief which Democrats proposed
y bring in a larger measure by the r
storation of silver; but there is
assurances whatever that the go
: supply, even with the new discovers
u will be sufficient to maintain the lev
of prices. Favorable conditions ha
given us an abnormal share of t

of banknotes is evidence that we {
still short of money here. The
publicans defend the gold standa

for better times. When prosper

IntoIeraBIe situation.

1.-The situation is intolerable to a free
people. In 1776 my forefathers and
yours fought and bled because they
were taxed and were not allowed rep
reservation. To-day, the Republicans,
Prohibitionists, Socialists, and Popu-
lists are taxed and are DISTINGUISHED.
They all contribute to the support OF
the state institutions; they bear their
share of the cost Of public improve
ments they do all that any citizen does
to pay the running expenses of city.
county and state, but they are not al
lowed representation. They pay taxes
but the law prevents them saying who
shall represent them as the LEVERS OF
taxes.
more than that, this law opens a
yawning grave to every rising man in
Arkansas who claims the right of indie
pendent thought. 1t stiles every laud-
able political aspiration; it stands with
flaming sword in the path of anyone
who would gain preferment outside OF
! the Democratic party; 1t blasts hope
and kills ambition. and over it all it
lays its blighting hand upon the ballot
box, corrupting and perjuring our DEM
t oeratic officials and robbing us Of the
t elective franchise, the most sacred and
I valuable prerogative of free citizen
r ship.
! This is the paramount issue in oul

The Idaho Bakery.

The long felt want" has been met
and satisfied at the Idaho Bakery.
The public has learned that they can
get anything they want that belongs
to the bakery business, by calling at
or telephoning the Idaho Bakery.
1t is not often that whole family
takes such an interest in business
that they all work enthusiastically
to make 1t success, but Mrs. Frank
Siegel, Mrs. Siegel and each of the
jolly daughters are determined that
the public shall have just what they
want and have 1t when they want

why they have built up such good
business that there is hardly room
In the house for it,
When Mr.. Siegel took hold of the
business the public was Indifferent
about bakers bread" and used 1t
only as make-shift, but now the
quality sells the bread to stream
of regular customers.
Bakers have to buy lots of supplies
besides -four, and after Mr.. Siegel be-
gan business here, he found that the
Idaho Bakery had no credit where
he sent for bakers supplies, but
under his management he has over
come that trouble, too. The business
has good name at home and abroad
and people who give credit where
credit is due, are glad the bakery
is managed just as 1t Is.

Calls Cat BY Telephone.
The Dependent,

Frank Whipple has cat named
Niger, who not only knows his
name but recognizes his call over the
telephone. Niger is perfectly at
home both at the Whipple residence
and at the express soffice, and some
times at the latter place makes him
self nuisance by walking over the
papers on Franks desk where he is
trying to write. Telling the cat to
keep off does no good, but an effec-
tual means of getting rid Of his cat
ship has been discovered by asking
Mrs. Whipple to call the animal
home, and when his mistress says
Niger! Nigger!" over the phone
and the receiver is held to the cats
ear, the owner of the name scampers
for home as fast as four black feet
can carry him.-The Times.

Little Ants
Caring for Cats.

At cattery conducted by Miss
Cathcart in New Jersey, the tenants
are bred and cared for with a strict
observance of all the laws of feline
hygiene. The kennels, or rather
houses, are of Queen Anne style of
architecture and provided with doors
and windows and hooks and corners
to afford pussy the opportunity she
SO loves to looking out the parlor
window or retiring to her chamber
for siesta at will Each member of
this colony is provided with two
houses, and is moved from one to the
other every two or three days while
the first is being cleaned and reno
waited. The bedding in each house is
removed every day and burned. The
cats toilet consists of thorough
combing followed by rubbing with
cloth several times a week. Miss
Cathcart says that cat should never
be washed. For food kitty is given
a drink of fresh milk in the morning
and two meals during the day. There
is a constant change in menu, which
includes table scraps, fresh meats,
chicken, rabbit, raw eggs, cereals and
vegetables A cow is kept for milk.
Among the ninety or more inmates
of this cat home are a number of
blue-blooded, short-haired celebri-
ties who have won regulations in this
country and in Europe. Prissy is a
black cat, without white hair any
where, and considered the most per-
fectspecimen of her class to be found.
She came from London, and is valued
at5the price of good horse. Belle
of Bradford is another Britisher, and
is orange even to the color of the
eyes. Requiqui is of Siamese des-
cent, but Is a native of Paris, and
is dark brown with blue eyes. Bus
ter Brown would be black If he were
not tinged with plum tint, and is
what is known as smoke.
Miss Cathcart's interest is not,
however, entirely confined to cat
aristocracy. She is doing humane
work in affording refuge for tramp
cats until she can secure them good
home.

On Poisoning Dogs.

Every few months some one about
the town or surrounding country,
proves that he has real or imagin-
airy grievance against some dog by
putting out poison broadcast about
not only his premises, but along the
road leading to his neighbors. The
chances are that the guilty dog (if
one is guilty. escapes unframed, and
some valuable one that money con-
sideration would not tempt the own
er to part with, is the victim of the
some persons inhuman act. The
fact that there are worthless ours all
over the country is not to be disputed
but there should be some legitimate
manner of disposing of them, that
will not endanger the lives of the
valuable dogs. Also a better breed
of dogs would be developed, If the
owners could be made secure their
lives would be protected
The following letter came to our
desk from man whose dog has
served faithfully, both as protector
and companion, and now with al
most human instinct, looks up to his
master and seeks to know the rea-
son of his suffering. The writer i'm
personates the animal as you will
see.
There are two classes of animals

class and should be kind and loving
