Weekly. Both Mr.. Mclean

eVerytnIng except the personality OF one
man, Mr.. Bryan Col Harvey will
abuse Mr.. Roosevelt, like pickpocket,
and Mr.. Mclean will extol him to the
skies; but neither of them will hold him
answerable, whilst both turn themselves
loose upon every utterance Of Mr.. Bryan
through twelve years of infamed and
unbroken agitation. Why is this?
Let us agree that Mr. Bryan has
talked too much and too we'll. Let us
also remember that the agitator rarely
reaps other rewards for his eloquence,
his ardor and his endurance than pop
ularity and applause; that Lincoln, not
Seward, or Chase, and still less Garrison,
or Phillips, or Greeley, was chosen by
| Heaven to save the Union and destroy
Slavery; that letter beat Clay, that a
sentence beat Blaine; in short, that
there was no escape for Mr. Bryan from
ten years of incessant newspaper writing
and platform speaking, Yet all these
years he was the Voice of a popular as
piration which may not have known
precisely what it wanted, but was con-
scious of serious shortcoming in the
government Of the country However
ignorant, or mistaken, this popular as
piration will always have to be reckoned
with.
Col Harvey dwells upon the think
less South. He might equally dwell
upon the thinkless West The peo-
pie in the aggregate do not think-they
feel--and, under our peculiar system of
dual parties and complicated electoral
machinery, the final equation often
turns upon organization and momen-
tum, the party in power having an over:
whelming advantage. +
Mr.. Bryan's following is credit, not
a discredit to him. Its fidelity to him
is credit, not discredit to it, Neither
he, nor it, should be wantonly assailed
Like the Roosevelt following, the Bryan
following savors oyermuch of hero-wor-
ship; yet, nevertheless, it remains a
force, and it may be made force for |
good if taken Alright 1t is certainly |
not sagacious leadership in Col. Harvey
and Mr. McLean-supposing that they
care anything about leadership thus
early to begin an Anti-Bryan Crusade.
No matter how such Crusade termi- |
mated, Mr.. Bryan would have every
thing to gain, and nothing to lose, by
reason of it. If it should be persisted /
in it could only tend toward an accen-
tuation of the differences already exist
ing between the Democrats, so-called,
of the East, and the Democrats, So
called, of the West and South. by nA

Just as long as you have catarrh your

ADJUSTMENTS AND READJUsT-
MENTS.

Whilst Harper's Weekly is queru-
lously, and with impatient temper, de-
scanting upon the thinkless South, +"
the Washington Post, taking a hint
from the Nashville Banner, is. asking,
with apparent seriousness, whether the
Democratic party really wants to win a
National victory.
Mr.. Bryan is made the pivot about
which this duo of newspapers rhetori-
cally pirouttes. He appears the center
piece against which they back and fill;
the occasion of their distemper; the text
of their discussions; the bee in their
bonnets; the fly in their ointment.
Truly, the Nebraskan has reason to ex-
claim with Magi: Il bless We, my en-
emies, because that ye keep me aliyep'
Says Harper's Weekly;
Pray, why shouldn't Brother Bryan
declare himself a receptive candidate for
fourth nomination? What has he to
lose by 50 doing? His paper needs cir
culation and the lecture platform yearns
for Disappearless Leader. Why should
he deprive himself of the few remaining
opportunities to crafty his cupidity?
Democrats, at any rate, have no cause
for complaint. He was never in their
Manager. Although some have failed to
realize the fact, his barking was always
from the potato patch outside.t
There is more of Immature than of
good sense in this. 1t seems but an
ebullition of spleen. Let us try to get
at the truth.
If there be Democratic Party, it as
sembled at Denver the 18th of last July.
Long before it had assembled there the
single hope of beating Mr. Bryan lay in
diverting votes enough to break the two
thirds rule. 1t was charged that, to eff
feet this, much money had been spent
beforehand, and that yet more of this
same money was present in the Capital
Of Colorado. Suppose the purpose had
been achieved, can Editor Harvey tKak |
that the result of the election would |
have been different? Would Judge
George Gray, of Delaware, have made
stronger race than Judge Alton Brooks
Parker made in 1904? Could Johnson, I
Of Minnesota?
Let the Editor OF Harper's Weekly |
rid himself of his megrims and put on
his thinking cap. Over Bryan's dead
body, :" that is over the preference Of
o-thirds-less one, or two-of 6tS. ~

could have won Either wouF

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
The Important Place He Occupies In
His Community.

The Important Place He Occupies In
His Community.
The able Portland Oregonian, pub
lished, as its name indicates, In
Country town" Of over 10000 popu-
lation in the extreme northwest, dis
courses delightfully."- and truly upon
the characteristics and privileges of
the country editor. 1t says that he Is
far more than the butt for aged
Jokes about his calling; that he holds
most important position in the COM
munity. It says that he is much near
er to his readers than is the man who
writes for the great daily Of the city;
that while this environment may pre-
vent a study of all the divergent phas-
es of human nature, such as may be
found in a city, it admits closer COM
munication with those which are more
desirable and shuts out others which
can never be conducive to human
happiness 1t further says that the
country newspaper has sent forth a
large number Of men who have attain
ed high place in the state and nation
and that on nearly all the big news
papers of the United States will be
found men who began newspaper work
in the office of a country newspaper.
1t says, too, a good thing concerning
the newspaper as such, so good indeed
that we quote it entire.
There are always more good peo-
pie than bad people in a community
and the newspaper, after all, merely
reflects the sentiment of the people
who support 1t. The newspaper can
not be much better or bigger than the
people it serves. For any healthy,
thriving city to fail to support good
newspaper is nearly always much
more Of a reflection on the people
than on the editor. The local news
paper has become SO much part of
the industrial and social life of our
country that the town or city too small
or too Indifferent to support paper
is of not much consequence"
This is no more and no less than a
simple statement VI ldCl. LII SHSiS
community the newspaper respects
it's constituents and it never fears
but that if it deserves 1t, its
constituents will accord a respect
which is fully reciprocal. And that
it is the aim of every good newspaper
to deserve respect is evinccd by IN
time and money which It puts into
the effort to fulfill it's community mis-
sion, even beyond the measure Of ser
vice which the community may of its
own volitiOn require. Having made
this effort and performed this service,
it is rarely disappointed of its reward
In any event, it finds reward In the
consciousness Of having done its duty
to the community and to itself Ger
tainly not even the country newspa-
per has any need to be troubled by
what the Oregonian calls "aged jokes.

Iananese Diet.

American cravings" says General Phil
in Reade in a letter to the Army and
Navy Journal. Imagine a diet with
out milk, bread butter, jam, coffee,
salad or any sufficient quantity OF
nicely cooked vegetables, without pud-
ding, stewed fruit, and with compare =
lively little fresh fruit. The European
vegetarian will find as much difficulty
in making anything out Of 1t as the Or

about the queerest combination
of opposites and .unconventionality In
the fruit line" said the fruit dealer,
'is the Ben Davis apple.
1T is big and red and solid and
pretty as a picture, but there's no
more taste to it than to a doorknob,
no more flavor than chunk Of clay
no more smell than a piece Of Ice.
Yet in some of the apple growing
districts they raise more Ben Davis
apples than any other kind, and
sometimes get as high as SO a barrel
for 'em. Out in the Egypt belt OF
Illinois they do, anyhow, and they'll
tell you so any time.
Sounds funny to a man who loves
the truth, though, dosen't 1t? Does
for a fact, but it's straight. I'll tell
you why.
THE Ben Davis apple isn't an eater.
It's a cooker. And the crop never
fails The Ben Davis never rots. And
the Ben Davis never freezes. Or If 1t
does freeze, it doesn't mind it.
And the Ben Davis apple remains
Just as solid after cooking as 1t was
before. 1t never falls to pieces under
cooking, whether it is whole, halved
or quartered.
"Then having no flavor of its own,
it readily takes any other flavor, and
becomes a novelty to the housewife
and fruit Gamer. Imagine a big
whole cooked apple placed before YOU
and when you taste it finding it to be
luscious peach or juicy pear or ap-
ricot or pomegranate or Brazilian ca
iu or anything else but Ben Davis ap-
ple that 1t has suited your wife or
your mother or your sweetheart or
your Aunt Susan to make it.
That's where the queer Ben Davis
apple comes out strong, and meta
phorically speaking. knocks the SOCKS
off of all other apples, as they will tell
you in the Egypt apple belt particular
", where they will also tell you that
| Chicago and the southwest are dead
stuck on the Ben Davis apple and buy
it at any price.
But there are Ben Davis apples and
Ben Davis apples. They don't come
out as strong on these points II not
raised on the Egypt apple belt Whlle
they will keep from picking time TILL
next picking time if you go down into
Egypt and get 'em, if they are denied
the favor Of Egypt nativity and come
on in just ordinary apples, they object
to keeping longer than the middle or
next January, frequently not longer
than holiday time, and will freeze just
like any common, everyday apple
II don't know why. Don't ask me-
But that's the Ben Davis apple, as l
have it on the word of the man 1 buy
Of out in Egypt. Illinois.
Yes, I'll have some in next week.
Genuine Egypts. Hold you out cou-
pie o barrels?"
The customer said no; he was spot
buyer. he said, and a quart Of plums
would be about all to-day. And the
dealer seemed disappointed.

Hollowe'en, season when those
aerial people, the fairies, hold grand
anniversary, falls this year on Satur-
day night next, Oct. 81. 1t is the eve
or vigil of All Hallows or All Saints
festival of the Christian church, In
stituted in S35, and celebrated on
Nov. l, in honor of all the saints in
general.
Halloween is associated in the pop
ular imagination with the prevalence
of supernatural influences, and is ire
uuently celebrated in meetings OF
Young people with the performance OF
various mystical ceremonies. 1t Is
thought to be a night when witches
devils and other mischief making
beings are all abroad on their bane-

Everywhere today Halloween OF
Halloween, is looked upon and often
observed humorously, as night OF
COLLINS, of jack-o-lanterns, and other
ehostly visitors, when fortunes are
told and the apparitions is the master
of ceremonies. To the peasantry In
the west Of Scotland the season
means most, and the vigil is faithfully
kept.
After the party has assembled the
first ceremony of Halloween is pull
ing each a plant of kali. They must
go out hand in hand, with eyes shut,
and pull the first they meet with. Its
being big or little, straight or crook
ed, is prophetic of the size and shape
of the grand object Of all their spells

If any earth stick to the root that is
fortune and the taste of the heart OF
the stem is indicative Of the natural
temper and disposition. The stems
are placed somewhere above the head
of the door, and the Christian names
of the people whom chance brings in
to the house, are, according to the
| priority of placing the stems, the
names in question.

group.
| Jessie did not stop to hear more;
half lf-maddened with terror, she turned
and fled up the stairs, and paused not
till she was in the open air again. Mary
followed more deliberately, and soon
stood beside her mistress as calm and
self possessed as If nothing unusual
had transpired.

ing her hands; "they will murder

will assist them in the work Oh Mary!

Silently and swiftly the two girls
hurried toward the stable of the old

lantern stood, and near 1t on a pile Of
hay reclined the figure Of man.

Mary.
