Bryan's first speech is on the tariff.
There is no man better fitted to dis
cuss the subject. His speech on the
tariff many years ago gave him ma
tional fame long before 1895. He
attacks the question forcibly and
thoroughly. One of the illustrations
used was striking. He SAID that a
wise father in distributing his estate
does not give it to one of the children
and trust him to divide among the
others, but himself makes the division.
The republicans, however, pass laws
to try to make the monopolists and
big trusts prosperous, and leave it to
them to divide with the people. Uncle
Sam, as a good and wise father,
should attend to the division himself.
A house controlled by Cannon and
Dalzell and senate run by Aldrich,
with president whose campaign
fund comes largely from tariff barons,
won t care much about tariff revision.
But President Bryan, using the
powers of his office as Roosevelt has
and who doubts but what the would
and the people with him, can do it.

Robert G.. Ingersoll died a fe

Robert G. Ingersoll died a few
years ago. How few remember the
famous skeptic A great orator, a
skilled sophlst, a, pleasing personality.
he misused the gifts that the
Almighty had given him, and tried to
pervert and destroy the faith of
thousands to tear up the only anchor
which the children of men have to hold
them steady amid the storms of life.
He took their faith from many and
left them nothing in return. With
all his brilliancy and wit, he is
already scarcely a memory. Contrast
him with Joel Chandler Harris,
'"Uncle Remus,' who died the other
day. Ingersoll used to talk about the
religion of laughter, but his laughter
was too much that of the ghoul.
Uncle Remus brought smiles and
laughter to countless thousands Of
children, filled the hearts Of little folks
with sunshine, gave their minds
some of the pleasantest fancies ever
conceived, and drove away the
shadows from the souls Of young and
old. His fables express better
philosophy than ever 1ngersoll con-
ceived or could understand. The
heart of a child is a heart of faith.
Uncle Remus knew and understood it.
His life was one of earnest, simple
faith. He was a Catholic, but the
children of every faith loved and will
continue to love his writings. Inger-
soil was despair, and Uncle Remus
hope, and when the apostle of despair
is long since forgotten. Uncle Remus
will still enthrall young and old.

THE LAST GUEST.

New York World Col. Wardwell
died on Saturday in Arizona, his last
thought for his wife, leper. She lies
strapped to bed in an adjoining
room. For her, too, the end OF the
toilsome road IS near
No disease is so dreadful as leprosy.
Sickness etherealizes and death confers
it's seal of sublime majesty. Alone
the SCARED and MANNED leper remains
an object Of horror. The love which
conquers death in such a form out
wei CHS any OF the grand passions Of
which poets sing. Given but a
modicum of courage, and death for
beauty's sake is easy; Death for
beauty destroyed beyond all hope of
remembrance calls for love almost
superhuman. And such love Col.
Wardwell had displayed. Prudence
dictated and the law sought to compel
the abandonment of her whom he had
promised to protect IN sickness and
health But the war-worn veteran
found a higher law. Taking her
with him he fled the state which
would have compelled their separation.
The gallant soldier, now surrendered
to the mighty enemy, conquered, yet
the victor.
Soclologists are bewailing the
weakening of domestic ties, the courts
are choked with suits for divorce and
press and pulpit deplore the levity
with which marriage is now re-
garded. The story of Col. Wardwell
shows that even in these prosaic days
love endures. One OF G1bson's draw
ings portrays an old couple seated at
the dining. table, Empty chairs give
evidence Of the departed guests. Her
head rests upon his shoulder, while
love invisible to both drain toast to
the days that were. For Col. Ward
we'll and his wife love, too, has
remained the last guest. -

Springfield Republican: The worst
state situation, from the republican
point OF view, is that of west Vlr-
ginia. The Wheeling correspondent
of the Washington Post, antiBryan,
reports that Taft's plurality is estlm
ated at present at not more than
10000, on account of the unsettled
gubernatorial dispute. West Virginia
was for Cleveland in 1892 by 4124; but
in the presidential election since then
it has cast republican pluralities of
II, 500 (1s96), $1,000 $4,000, and
81, 700 1904. The state quarrel in
wolves two republican tickets. One is
regular, says the Post correspond
emit, headed by G. W. Swisher, who
has made politics business, and the
others described as the Lincoln,
which carries the name of Arnold G.
Scherr, who has served as state audi
tor. Both men have strong support,
but neither has much, if any, stand
ing with the thousands of voters who
are seeking somewhat blindly for the
moral regeneration of the state -
Thus far no progress has been made in
persuading one of these candidates to
retire in favor of the other. The
democrats, on the other hand, are
united. They put in nomination
Lewis Bennett, who belongs to an old
and respected family, who served once
as speaker of the legislature, and who
is wealthy by inheritance. Bennett
has no faint of corporation interest or
service, matter Of recommendation
to the people Of this corporation-ri ridden
state, while charges are freely circu-
lated that Swlsher has been and is
controlled by the interests. !"

The Herald believes that the dem
ocrat1c state convention did the best
nossible thing it could do for the
nartv. and for the people of Mime
sofa. In renom1natlng Governor john
son. He was nominated by a conven-
tion unanimous in feeling, and sincere
in the expression of it. A convention
does not act the way the Minneapolis
convention did at the request OF any
one, They represented the desires and
the wishes of the great body of dem
ocrats, and after receiving a tribute
such as no man in this state has ever
received, no wonder that the Governor
felt he should accept. The democracy
of Minnesota is united. 1t has the
men and the platform upon which to
appeal to independent republicans.
The republicans who have shown their
independence IN the last few years
have the opportunity to continue in
the good work, and there is no ques-
ton but that they will. The interests
dominate the republican party OF this
state, and when a man of courage and
conviction rises, they either corrupt
him or try to kill him off. The game
is going on right now in various
parts Of Minnesota. Jacobson, who
is claimed as the peoples champion,
was nominated by the interests, and
has made no explanation of his silence
on important matters, and his old
time admirers are asking why ?
Jacobson must disappolnt those who
nominated him or disappoint the
people. He is on ticket which
includes Mills, who is opposed by over
a hundred republican papers of the
state. jacobson is supporting Mills
The champion of the people, is in
league with the tool of their spoilers.
No wonder Jacobson's old friends
grieve. The first speech made by
jacobson was practically a charge that
the republican Legislature had been
extravaganza to the point of danger
Republican legislative candidates for
denomination have to face this charge
from the head of their state ticket
jacobson is so constituted that he
will continue to make bad breaks
The contrast with John A. Johnson is
SO great that the people of Minnesota
are not likely to take any chances
They will make John A. johnson
again governor, and Morrison county
Will help to do the job right.
