JOHN AND HIS IDOLS.
The Chinaman Is Utterly Devoid OF
Reverence In His Relation

Inc Cnlnaman is Otterly DeVoio OF
Reverence In His Religion.
How the Chinaman regards his idol
is told by the Rev. John MACEDONIAN:
"The Chinese is person utterly de-
void of reverence, sentiment or devo-
ton in his religion. With him it is a
matter either of fear or Of business,
but mainly the latter. A house Is
plagued with sickness, which is put
down not to bad sanitation or other
natural causes, but to the presence Of
evil spirits. This leads to visit to the
nearest temple to get the idol to drive
them away. A new business is going
to be commenced, but before doing so
1t is deemed essential to get the sup
port of the idols. If one idol says it
will not succeed another is appealed to
for its opinion, and IL 1t is favorable 1t
is at once accepted as the correct one
Should the venture turn out fail
ure no reproach of any kind is uttered
against the god whose prediction has
been falsified. The man takes the
blame upon himself. His character has
not been pure, he says, or he was born
under an evil star, or he was naturally
unlucky and so was bound to fail in
anything that he undertook.
"Men never dream of thinking about
their idols as we do about God. No
affection is shown for them. 1t is most
amusing to watch the faces of the Chi
nese when you ask them If the idols
love them. The eyes CLEAN, the face
broadens into a wide grin, and soon
hearty laughter is heard at this most
facetious and side splitting joke."-

nxy.S.s NomINATIoN ASSURED.

At the time this is written we have
no report from the Illinois state
democratic convention, but 1t Is con
ceeded that the delegation will be IN.
structed for Bryan. If these prognos-
tications are to be realized 1t settles
the nomination Of Bryan beyond the
question of doubt. The reports
have been sent broadcast over the
country that Pennsylvania will be
opposed to Bryan, but reliable re-
port from the friends Of Mr.. Bryan
I'm that state is erroneous and that he
will receive the vote of most of the
delegation.
1t is also automatically stated that
the Johnson men are trying to make
a compromise with the followers OF
Mr.. Bryan In JohnsOn's home state.
Minnesota. The Johnson followers
have come TO the conclusion and are
making overtures along those lines
that Bryan will send Bryan delegates,
but asks that thew be permitted to
vote for Johnson on the first ballot.
New York will send several Bryan
delegates, or at least men who are In
favor of his nomination for all the
refused to instruct for
Bryan. Maine will send BRYAN dele
gates, or men favorable to his NOM
ination, but will come instructed.
In New York state the most uncom-
Bryan enemies we're left
of the delegation.
. 1t is just as sure now that Bryan
will receive the nomination as it is
that the Denver convention will be
held in July. 1t begins to look as If
the most of the fight against Bryan
has been made largely on paper-the
product of the scbeming brains of
men who want to see the interests of
the country controlled bv the trusts
and combines, regardless of principles
or policies. The democratic party Is
for Bryan and the policies he repre-
sents; and from the present outlook
there never was brighter prospects
for democratic victory than there
is this fall.

"A republican press bureau, located
In Washington, is responsible for the
statement that Ryan, the notorious
New York gambler, made special
trip to Lincoln, Nebraska, to consult
Bryan, In order to enlist his interests
In the cause of the trusts and the
predatory wealth of the country. 1t
Is sail that Bryan refused to see
Ryan or to have anything to do with
him whatever. The bureau is also
responsible for the report that Ryan
met with better success in his inter-
view with Taft. This may be why
Wall street Is so willing that Taft
should have the republican nomina.
zion. 1t will be remembered that
this man Ryan was at the head of
the enterprises which donated five
hundred thousand to prevent Bryan's
nomination In 1900. 1t Is foregone
conclusion that no man can have the
support OF the Wall street interests
unless he is their puppet and 1t is
proved beyond all question that Mr..
Taft has the support of this interest.
