SHERMAN ACCEPTS BLAME
Republican Vice Presidential Candi.
date Drawn Out by Congress.
man De Almond.

On the word OF James Schoolcraft
Sherman, Republican vice presidential
candidate, full responsibility for con-
gress' failure to enact many needed
laws must be assumed by the Repub
lican party.
April s, 1903, in the house, as printed
In the Congressional Record. Repre-.
sentative David A. De Armond, OF
Missouri, said:
"When the question is asked any.
where in the country-and it will be
asked-why was not this measure
considered why was not that meas
ure passed, why was not the other
measure brought up? there is one an
swer, and@only one: Because the Re
publican majority in this house willed
that 1t should not be considered, should
not be brought up, should not be
passed. We can stand upon that rec
ord. 1t IS well known that there is
pressure in the country. and very great
pressure, for the consideration and
passage of a number of important
measures. 1t is well known that
large majority of the voting strength
of the country is insistent upon the
consideration and the passage of i'm
portant measures. Do not go to them
again, as you have done 30 often and
so successfully, and endeavor to de-
lude them into the belief that some
how you could not get consideration
for the measure and somehow you
could not pass it. You can have con-
sideration, because you have the pow
er to enforce it; and, so far as meritori-
GUS measures are concerned, as has
been demonstrated here more than
once and will be demonstrated again,
and abundantly demonstrated, you
have only to express the will. you have
only to give the opportunity, and II
you lack the votes upon that side, as
you do not, there will be an abundant
addition here
Sherman Admits 1t.
The same day, replying, Mr.. Sher-
man said:
THE gentleman from Missouri in
Inmates that the Republican side Of the
house desires to do away with the roll
calls because of some fear of making
record upon some question before
the house. Mr.. Speaker, the Republic
an party in the house, the Republican
party in this nation, is prepared today
to accept full responsibility, not only
for everything that is done, but for
that which is not done in the way Of
legislation and administration. Ap-
plause on the Republican side.1 We
recognize the fact, sir that this gov
ernment today is Republican in all its
branches. We recognize the fact that
we have a Republican president, brave,
wise. and courageous. We recognize
that we have a Republican majority
in the senate. that we have a Republic
an majority in this house that is ready
to resort to every legal, every proper
constitutional right to enact such leg
islation as it deems for the best in
terest for the greatest number of our
people, and which is willing and ready
to accept full responsibility for all
those measures which are introduced
here and which are enacted into law"

THE srEProE MONUMENT
Why Not Dedicate Battle Ground 5oth
Anniversary, Collecting More
Money for Monument

The Steptoe battle was an historic
event, taking place so years ago this
coming May 1t is the purpose to
erect monument on the spot where
the last stand was made with the In
;dians, to be dedicated on this coming
50th anniversary. Several hundred
dollars have been raised, the people
Of the Inland Empire responding lib
orally considering the Drief time since
the movement was inaugurated. But
the Gazette would suggest, subject to
the approval of the society that orig
mated the idea and has carried it
forward, that broader and more
comprehensive plan be adopted. 1t
is this: Instead of now erecting a
monument commemorative so impor-
tant an event, why not dedicate the
ground where the monument Is to
stand (the citizens of Rosalia will do
nate the land) on this 50th anniver-
sary, postponing the erection of the
monument for say two years, so that
large sum of money may be raised
and monument of solidity and pro-
portions be erected that can be point
ed to with pride by all citizens of the
nation? The legislature of the state
of Washington and the congress of the
United States should be asked to as
sist in this matter, and no doubt
would do so If given the opportunity.
1t will commemorate an historic
event, and therefore is a matter of
national interest. 1t should be erected
on scale to rank with the great
monuments of the nation. 1t should
be massive and heavy.
This is matter for thoughtful con-
sideration, one which, we trust, will
be favorably acted upon.-Colfax Ca
zette.

ISSUES NAMED BY BRYAN
Nebraskan Outlines Principles For
Which Party Is Fighting.

Bonesteel, S. D., May 30.-In
his address here last night Wiz
liam j. Bryan outlined what the
principal issues put forth by the
Democrats during the coming cam
paign would be and indicated what
might be expected in the Denver
platform. In part he said:
"We are just beginning a ma
tional campaign. The Republican
party has been in power for the
last fourteen years, and will, in
the in the coming campaign, ask
for continuation of the power.
The Democrats will present crit
icism of Republican management
and propose change in the per-
sonnet of the officers and a change
in the policy to be pursued. The
voters, after hearing both sides
and considering the arguments for
and against the policies presented
will decide the questions at issue
and determine the trend of the
Government for the next four
years.
"The Democrats will ask for
the election of Senators by direct
vote of the people in order that it

may be easier for the voters to
control the Government; the Dem
ocrats will ask for effective legis-
latiop of the trusts in order that the
people may be protected from mo-
nopoly; the Democrats will ask
for the reduction of the tariff in or
der that the people may be relieved
from excessive taxation: the Dem.
ocrats will ask for effective railroad
legislation that the people may be
protected from water stock and
fictitious capital, for until we
know what the railroads are ac-
,tually worth we cannot determine
what they should collect in the
way of transportation rates; the
Democrats will ask for a reconcil-
iation of the differences between la
Dor and capital, that these two i'm
portant factors in business may
work tremendously together.
The Democratic party will OPP
pose imperialism, which is yio-
lating the fundamental principles
of our government and is at the
same time increasing the expense of
our army and navy. The Demo-
cratic party will ask for Iegisla-
ton, State and national, to protect
bank depositors and to prevent
panics.n

It's of Special Value to Many Here

A notable discovery, and one that
appeals especially to many people in
Union City, is the combination of
stomach help in the Mi-o-na treat
ment. This preparation works ron
ders in cases of indigestion or weak
stomach.
1t acts directly upon the walls of
the stomach and bowels, strengthen
ing and stimulating them so that
they readily take care of the food that
is eaten without distress or suffering.
S o positive are the good effects
following the use of Mi-o-na that the
remedy is sold by the Red Cross Phar-
macy under an absolute guarantee to
refund the money if it fails to cure.

which are rigid from one end to-
the other. They are fastened to
the planes at their upper and lower
extremities by universal joints.
So, while they keep the planes
parallel at all times, they do not
prevent them being twisted spiral
ly in unison. AT the front of the
machine are reinforcing cross
wires, which, with the stanchions,
hold the front part of the machine
perfectly rigid. The front of the
wings is intended to be held I'M
changed at all times. The desired
fexibility of the wings il confined
to the rear, where it is controlled
by a very ingenious mechanism.
At the middle of the machine
are fore and aft wires which keep
the whole of the center of the
structure rigid. But between the
stanchions which separate the
wings at the rear there are no
stitfening wires, and none extends
fore and aft ut the extremities of
the wings. These extremlties, or
wings, are flexible at the rear and
the structure is articulated at the
limits of the rigid central part.
The parts of the frames extending
beyond this central part, there
fore, form plant framework,
and are held in any desired posi-
ton by a wire running from the
upper end of the rear stanchions
at the extremities of the wings
through guides or pulleys near the
center fixed to the lower wing or
plane.
The rear central part Of the
frame, with REINFORCED cables and
the rear part of the lateral wings,
form thus, with the stanchion, the
guides and the cables, a peculiar
system, rigid and at the same time
pliable to another position, which
permits the regulation of the rear
corners of the planes, at the same
time preserving the characteristics
of rigid framework.
OPERATOR ALWAYS IN CONTROL.
When the drum is turned in or
der to move the cable to the left,
thus drawing downward the rear
lateral right-hand part of the up
per wing, the corresponding part
of the lower plane is similarly
lowered because of the rigid con-
nection through the stanchions.
The downward movement of this
part of the lower plane caused by
cables serves to raise the rear left
hand part of the lower plane, and
means of the stanchions raises
corresponding part of the up
