The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. VOL. V. OUR TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT, WILLIAM J. BRYAN OF NEBRASKA. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, ADLAI E. STEVENSON OF ILLINOIS. THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND THE NEGRO. XXXIII THE LILY WHITE REPUBLICANS. For many years there has been an effort upon the part of the white Republicans throughout the Southern states to form a Lily White party and its aim and object is to ignore and prevent the Negro from controlling the Republican party. There is no desire on our part to distort the truth or to make any misrepresentations respecting the formation of the Lily White Republican party therefore we desire to remind the Negro by calling his attention to the following facts, that the Republican state convention of Tennessee convened in the city of Nashville on the 24th day of August, 1894, that sixty-five Lily White Republicans, who were delegates withdrew from the convention hall and refused to participate in any of its proceedings, because they did not care to come in contact with the Negro delegates. The lily white leaders of the Republican party of Louisiana, of Georgia, of Florida, and of all the other southern states have resorted to similar tactics. The lily white Republicans of Boxboro, North Carolina, met in convention recently, but no Negro was permitted to enter the hall and the lily white Republicans drove the colored Republicans away from the hall with clubs. On or about the middle of August, 1894, the Hon. John Sherman wrote a letter to one of the leaders of the lily white party of Texas, and Senator Sherman urged the dough-faced leader of his party to devise some plan or scheme to resecure it from Negro domination. If there be those who are inclined to regard this statement as being nothing more than a huge joke we would most respectfully request them to peruse the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of the above mentioned date then perhaps they will be unwilling to arrive at the conclusion that we are endeavoring to misrepresent John Sherman. On April 19, 1896, the members of the Lily White Republican Party of Texas assembled at Houston to select delegates to the Republican National convention and the three hundred Lily White delegates were in favor of adhering to the advice, which had been imparted to Mr. A. B. Norton by John Sherman and the result was that the Lily White Republicans would not allow the Negro to mingle with them nor to participate in the deliberations of the convention. We all know how President Ben. Harrison was dominated over and controlled by the Lily White wing of his party, he was impertuned by all the leading Colored Republicans to appoint or bestow one of the United States district judgeships upon one of our worthy Negro atorneys; but the great constitutional lawyer paid no attention to their request or applications and he did not hesitate in letting them and their friends know that in his opinion no Negro was sufficiently qualified to become United States district judge. President Harrison had the distinguished honor of selecting two hundred and eight commissioners to represent the various states throughout the union at the great Columbian Exposition, which threw open its gates May 1, 1893; but be it said to his everlasting discredit he absolutely refused to name or appoint one Negro as commissioner, and by pursuing such a course he wilfully and deliberately ignored the millions of Negroes residing in all parts of this country, who were entitled to at least ten or twenty commissioners. In speaking of the insults which President Harrison had heaped upon the heads of all representative Negroes, The Chicago Herald, which was at that time the greatest Democratic newspaper in the West, said in its issue of Sunday, August 29, 1893, "That a Colored man, Douglass, Langston, or Bruce should have been named a national commissioner, will be admitted by fair-minded Americans of all political parties. That President Harri- son should have omitted to name one of them is apparently inexplicable. That the race has made extraordinary progress will also be conceded." Notwithstanding the course which President Harrison pursued towards the Negro, when he was renominated for the Presidency, the Hons. John R. Lynch, Richard T. Greener, George L. Knox, and numerous other would be leaders of more or less prominence denounced all honest and courageous Negroes, as being traitors, Judas-Iscariots and enemies of the race, who possessed manhood enough to utterly and absolutely refuse to continue to lick the hand which had smote the race. No one has any greater respect for Messrs. Lynch, Knox, Greener, and all the other gentlemen, who claim to be the great and only leaders of the Negro than us. But according to our thinking all of these gentlemen have proven themselves to be the real enemies and traitors of the Negro for they have betrayed and bartered away the rights of the entire race, body and soul, with few exceptions for a mess of pottage. (To be continued.) THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE OF ILLINOIS Every politician be he Democratic or Republican residing within the bounds of this state agrees that Illinois is the battle ground in the present political contest, that every vote,black or white, will be worth its weight in gold before it is over, that whichever way Illinois goes, so goes the Union. Therefore one would naturally think that the leaders of the Democratic party of this state would leave no stone unturned in an honest effort to secure every lawful vote regardless of the nationality or the complexion of its owner. But in all sincerity we very much regret to say, that such is not the case, however, for there are more than thirty-thousand Colored voters here in Illinois, and so far no effort whatever has been made on the part of the State committee to induce one Negro to vote for Colonel William J. Bryan. Some two months ago the writer endeavored to impress it upon the minds of those who control the party machinery of the State that many Colored men would support the entire Democratic ticket if there was any disposition on the part of the committee to encourage them to do so. The committee were reminded of the fact that the leaders of the Republican party did not feel so sure of capturing all the Colored voters at the coming election for the simple reason that they had established a literary bureau at the Great Northern Hotel away back in June, and through this literary bureau, they, the Republicans, were succeeding inflooding the State from one end to the other with literature prepared by the best and ablest Negro writers. With no other object in view than to poison the minds of the Negroes against the Democratic party, at that time and on several other occasions since that time we have stated to the worthy and able chairman of the state committee, and other gentlemen connected with it, that it, was our honest opinion that something ought to be done in the way of sending a Colored Democratic newspaper and other Democratic literature to all the Colored voters throughout the State, that good results would follow from work of this kind, that it would enable the Colored People to read and discuss both sides of the burning questions of the campaign, and that they would come to the conclusion that the managers of the Party had not forgotten them in the way of presenting them with a little newspaper and other reading matter. To all our entreaties and suggestions in this direction the reply came from the committee that it had no money to expend in such channels that all the Colored people are Republicans and that it is impossible to change them. Those members of the committee, who make such statements are away behind the times and they should withdraw from the public for a year or so in order to get posted. Now, what we mean to say is this, that if it is absolutely necessary to establish a literary bureau for the Germans, for the purpose of tickling their fancy, and to get them to vote the Democratic ticket, and if it is really necessary to send tons and tons of literature and newspapers to French voters and all other nationalities and expend thousands and thousands of dollars with them for the purpose of keeping them in line for Democracy. Then it seems to us, that it would not be a bad idea for the committee to spend a few thousand dollars in helping to educate the Colored voters along political lines. To illustrate suppose with a little effort and work among the Colored voters that the Democratic party received 5,000 of these votes that would mean a loss of ten thousand votes to the republican party and tenthousand votes may transfer Illinois from the Republican column to the Democratic column, which possibly would be the means of electing Col. Bryan President of the United States. For it hath been said by someone that if the Colonel is elect- M. J. BUT President of the 30 Ward Democratic Senate from the Fourth Senatorial Dis [Name] M. J. BUTLER, ESQ President of the 30 Ward Democratic Club, who will be elected to the State Senate from the Fourth Senatorial District. ed it will have to be accomplished by the aid of the Negro vote and if he is defeated it will be done by the Negro vote. So it behooves the committee to wake up and cease from going to sleep in broad day light, only a few days ago. Mr. C. W. Furguson of Rockford, Ill., informed us that one night last week five respectable Colored men walked into the Democratic headquarters in that city, and called for Bryan buttons. The day after Samuel Alschuler was nominated for governor, twenty to thirty Colored men residing in his city pinned his buttons on the lapels of their coats and are still wearing them and they are doing the same thing in other parts of the state, and more of them would do so if the committee manifested the slightest disposition that it desired or wanted the Negro vote. The Democratic state committees of West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, New York and of the other doubtful states are alive and fully comprehend the true political situation—they are doing everything in their power to convince and persuade the Negro, that it is to his interest to assist in helping to hold aloft the banner of the New Democracy. In the city of Greater New York Richard Croker, whose is a practical politician has devied the nine thousand Colored voters of that city right in the middle, and he can always put his hand on over four thousand colored Democrats. He is spending money with them right and left, and he believes a ballot cast by a black man will weigh as much as a ballot cast by a white man. He is having a newspaper published in the interest of Negro Democracy and it is being scattered broadcast among the Colored voters througout the empire state. Mr. committeemen of Illinois are your gentlemen playing politics for fun or in dead earnest? Attorney P. J. O'Keefee, Ashland blk, failed to receive the nomination for states attorney last June, but he always has enough money on hand to pay his subscription to The Broad Ax. We pause for a reply. COL. W. J. BRYAN'S TRIUMPHAL TOUR The past week Col Wm. J. Bryan, who will be elected President of the United States, in spite of Mark Hanna, the Money Power, the great trusts, and the monster and Hydra-headed monopolies, has been making a grand tour through South and North Dakota and Minnesota, and he has been warmly received by the vast majority of the people throughout the Northwest which proves that that he is still near to the hearts of the plain people, who, in turn, idolize him for his true Americanism. While the Colonel was engaged in addressing by far the largest number of people which has ever assembled in Fargo, N. D., last Saturday, some one in the crowd asked: "How about the Negroes in the South?" The Colonel replied to his questioner in the following manner: "The Republicans never talk on LER, ESQ. Club, who will be elected to the State trict. the race question until election. I am glad you spoke of the Negroes. If you look at the Sulu treaty you will not have a chance to talk about the Negroes during the entire campaign. I do not know of a purer piece of hypocrisy than that of the Republican who defends the Sulu treaty and condemns the amendments in the Southern states. Under the Sulu treaty the United States flag floats over the Sultan's harem, and under section 10 is provides that the Sulu slaves can buy their liberty at the market value when they earn enough to do so, working at nothing—a day. If you find there is a race question in this country that will require all the intelligence of the people, North and South, to solve, is that a reason why you should drag in another race question. Is it a reason why you should bring into this country 8,000,-000 brown people to share in the destiny of this country. There is not a Republican in a position to defend the Negro question. The Republican party has ridden the Negro for years to the doors of the capitol and then hitched and went in to hold office. The Negro vote has bestowed President after President on the Republican party and the party has given them janitors in return. You never hear a Republican talking of a Negro only at election time. Col. Bryan has very tersly sumed up the position which the Republican party has for many years assumed in reference to the Negro. Mr. M. P. Byrne is kept very busy these days in looking after the Republican politicians in his end of the 30th ward for Mr. Byrne does not want the Republicans to run in a lot of floaters on Registration days and he is right in keeping both eyes and ears open. Alexander J. Jones is a cheap-skate and kicker, he has refused to pay his assessment to the Co. Central Committee, and its his intention of conducting his own campaign on a cheap scale. The committee ought to have known that Alex. Jones is all hog and as cold-blooded as a rattlesnake. He aspires to be a leader of the Democratic party, but he says to hell with Afro-American newspapers published in the interest of Democracy. ```markdown ``` Mr. Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Broad Ax: Dear Sir—I received several copies of your paper this week and I am pleased with the Broad Ax, and its politics, also its motto. Hew to the line. Your paper is representing a party that is for the masses, not for the classes. William J. Bryan represents the same principles that Lincoln represented. The Broad Ax is representing a party that is a friend to the Colored man and will be a greater friend to them if the Colored voters will show the Democratic party, that we are their friends by casting our vote for William J. Bryan on November the 6th. There is a greater political awakening with the Colored voters this year against the republican party than was ever known before which means a defeat for the Rep. party, because the Negro holds the balance of power in that party notwithstanding the report sent out by Rev. Jordan Chavis, who is drawing pay from the State Campaign Committee by trying to make some of the republican bosses believe that all the Colored voters are in line for the republican party, there is no one man that knows the hearts of all the Colored people, nor the politicila belief the notice sent out by the man Jordan Chavis to the Warren County voters to fall in line is not a success by any means, no, reverend, it don't work now like unto ye olden times. There is too much education with the Colored voters to work the "We freed you." The Broad Ax is doing a grand work for the cause of Democracy; let the good work go on. G. W. JONES. OPENING DAY OF THE PHYLLIS WHEATLY CLUB. The Phyllis Wheatly club re-opened Wednesday and entered upon its fifth year of club work. A large number of women were present, including many visitors. President L. A. Davis called the meeting to order. The Lords Prayer was chanted led by Mrs. Eliza Harris. After the roll call the officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Mrs. L. A. Davis, re-elected by acclamation; vice-president, Mrs. Ida Taylor; secretary, Mrs. A. Emogene Taylor; assistant secretary, Miss Effie B. McQuan; corresponding secretary, Mrs. McCracken, treasurer, Mrs. S. J. Hart; chaplain, Mrs. Laura Johnson. President Davis made extensive remarks on the work the club will take up for the year which includes several new features. She urged upon the members to become interested in the sewing school. The splendid program which has been arranged for the season was dwelt upon at length. The Broad Ax was highly commended for devoting so much space to the doings of the club and the members were entreated to give it their loyal support. President Davis' remarks and explanations of the work for the year were well received. The exercises closed with a short talk by Mrs. Butler, of Glencoe, who represents the Julia Gaston club of Evenston. The Home Section will have charge of the program next Wednesday, Oct. 10th, subject, "Ventilation," by Dr. Joseph Jeffrey, Ladies are requested to meet promptly at 2 p. m. A good attendance is desired. Last Saturday night Burke Cockran, the noted and eloquent orator of New York, spoke at the Coliseum, on the great questions or issues of the present campaign, and it was without doubt the greatest political meeting ever held in this city. The Coliseum holds no less than eighteen to twenty thousand people, but every seat in that vast building was occupied and many thousands were unable to get on the inside and so eager were the people to hear Mr. Cockran that the policemen had a hard task in preventing them from breaking in the doors after they had been closed. The Cook County Democracy. The Colored Democrats, headed by a fine brass band; and The Young Democracy, turned out and marched to the Coliseum. Something like four hundred Colored Democrats were not afraid to show their true colors. Mr. Cockran made the greatest effort of his life to present in clear language the policy of Imperialism and those other questions which will have to be grappled with for weal or for woe by the American people. CHIPS. Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Wright, formerly of Kansas City, are now located in this city, at 5133 Armour avenue. Dr. Austin M. Curtis, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital, is visiting Dr. George C. Hall. He is accompanied by his wife and baby. John H. Cross, dealer in imported and domestic wines, liquors and cigars, 222 West Lake street continues to do a flourishing business. Walter T. Stanton, Pat J. Donohoe and Mike Blackwell were chosen as delegates by the 30th ward Democratic organization to attend the meeting of the Democratic clubs at Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. Delpha Wallace and Mrs. Lizzie Stafford, who spent five weeks of the summer in this city as the guests of Mrs. Emma Stewart, 3534 State street, returned to their home in Sprinfield, Ohio. last Saturday. The Henry George-Bryan and Stevenson club have opened up headquarters at 83 East Randolph street, and able speakers will be present to address the meetings, which will be held every day from 12 o'clock to 1:30 and in the evening from 8 to 10. C. S. Richardson, of Chicago Heights, candidate for county commissioner, has many warm friends among the Colored people around Chicago Heights who will vote for him. Mr. Richardson is a clean business man, and we believe he will be elected. Mrs. Jacob Harris, who for a long time lead the choir at Quinn Chapel, has composed a very fine song on Col. Wm. J. Bryan. Mrs. Harris is very bright and The Broad Ax would like to see her win the one hundred dollar prize, which is being offered by the Chicago American for the best song on Col. Bryan. City Sealer James A. Quinn continues to put forth his best efforts to hunt down and bring to justice all the short weight coal dealers, and dealers in other commodities who have been swindling and defrauding the people by holding out some of the goods which they had brought and paid for. The short weight fellows fear Mr. Quinn for he is onto his job. All the Coiored Republican under strappers like to read The Broad Ax, providing they can stand behind the door out of the way of their white political masters for they secretly admire The Broad Ax for telling the truth in relation to the G. O. P. of Slavery and hypocrisy, which is lead by Mark Hanna, the hybrid whose is in league with the devil and his imps. Wednesday evening, Oct. 10, a social and literary entertainment will take place at the home of Mrs. Cooper, widow of the late Tim Cooper, 4509 Dearborn street, for the purpose of raising the mortgage on her property. Mrs. Cooper is a deserving woman and this entertainment should be well patronized. Tickets, including supper, which will consist of fried chicken, oyster stew and ice cream, 25 cents. Doctors George C. Hall. A. M. Curtis, D. H. Williams, A. W. Williams, C. E. Bentley, and A. L. Smith, left the city last Monday for St. Louis, to attend the Fourth meeting of the American Association of Colored Physicians, Surgeons, Dentists and Pharmacists, which was held in that city last Tuesday and Wednesday. The first five doctors named read papers before the convention. Hon. Edward O. Brown, who stands at the head of his profession, the law, is greatly interested in the election of Col. Wm. J. Bryan. Mr. Brown is president of the Henry George Bryan and Stevenson club. He is an advocate of the single tax theory or system which is admitted by advanced thinkers to be the only equitable system of taxation. In many ways Mr. Brown has proven himself to be a friend to the colored race. The Hon. William Peacock, Democratic candidate for congress, seventh district, is a keen lawyer, and is very well known throughgout his district. He is a very pleasing speaker, and while he has a huge task before him for the Seventh district is strongly Republican, but with so many new issues confronting the people it is hard to tell what is liable to happen, and his chances of election are growing brighter each day. ‘9 ‘ e = Se = ~~ es ape RE TE ST IS me = i os : = 4 —s - ae = . aco : Bars 2 , eS : THE BROAD AX.

Qa@estry of Considerable Importance os the Shores ef Oncida Lake Among a class of people residing ‘along the shores of Oneida lake in the Vicinity of Upper South bay the i» dustry of hunting frogs is surpassed in importance only by that of fishing Frogs’ legs and fish go together is making up an appetizing meal at many of the Oncida lake summer hotels, and Killing frogs and catching fish are kin- ¢red pursuits. In this manner & score of Oneida lake longshoremen make a livelihood. The frog business, how- ever, is comparatively new. During a greater part of the season frogs are found in marshy places along the lake shore. A frog hunter sometimes uses & spear, but more often a long, stout club. The club has a fiat end, and one well directed blow will add another frog to the collection in the hunter's basket. During the summer months frogs are found on high ground, hav- ing migrated from the bogs bordering the lake. Hay fields are a favorite abiding place for them in summer, and it is no unusual sight to see a frog hunter following a mowing machine and aiming blows at frogs that are exposed to view as the grass falls. In the southeastern part of the state there are inclosed frog farms with ar- tificial ponds. Here frogs are raised for the New York city market. While central New York cannot yet boast of a real frog farm, an Oneida lake man is proprietor of something closely re- sembling such an institution. The Oneida lake man has a large yard on his premises inclosed by a tight board fence. In the yard are thousands of fine looking frogs. They were picked up along the iake shore last spring be- fore they had awakened from a stupor brought on by a few days of cold weather. The owner of this collection of frogs is able to fill orders from ho- tel proprietors for fresh frogs’ legs promptly. By going into the yard with @ lantern at night as many frogs as are required may easily be picked up by wand, providing the collector is careful to make no noise. Frogs’ legs, after being dressed, are left on ice for a day or more to make them good for eating. Twenty or twenty-five cents a pound is the price usually paid by Oneida lake hotel proprietors. A Strauce Malady. A strange malady is going the rounds of north Alabama, says the Atlanta Constitution. It is some kind of « germ which is attacking the ear drum of the people, causing risings and ab- cesses, which prove very painful and troublesome. In Birmingham many people have been attacked by this mal- ady and much suffering has been heard of. Gev. Joseph F. Johnston has been detained at bis home in this city dur- ing the past week with trouble in his ears and physicians had to attend him. Mr. John W. O'Neill, the popular pres- ident of the Birmingham board of trade, is now suffering agonies with the pain in both ears. There are many other people troubled in the same way. The germ seems to come with the least warning and the pain that follows can only be allayed a little until the rising either bursts on its own accord or an operation has been performed, when the pain ceases and the patient recov- ers. So far the disease has not proven fatal, though it has given the people whom it has attacked considerable pain Exchange Children fer Outings There is a pretty custom in vogue in Denmark which might with advantage be copied here. During the summer holidays an arrangement is made by which little Danes from town and country change places. The parents of town children send their little folks off to the country, and receive in ex- change country children. The result ‘ig that the town children are strength- ened and gladdened with country air sights, while the little rustics enjoy the pleasures of town life, and the fes- tivals which are for their benefit. This exchange system results in 10,000 chil- dren from Copenhagen getting a coun- try holiday, and another |10,000 are brightened up by a visit to the Danish capital. «+ BPaddliers Ta Beneficial People who frequent the many bath- ing beaches about Chicago have often noticed the number of people who merely “paddle” in the water instead of swimming about. Speaking of the practice a well known physician says: “My own experience, extending over some thirty years is that the practice is most beneficial. The children love it, and a child who has once paddied when at the seaside always craves to do it again. I have no idea on what grounds the medical objection is bas- ed, but for some reason or other the probibition is strongly impressed on the parents.” Exhibits end Awards at Paris. There are 75,531 exhibitors at the Paris Exposition of 1900, and 42,790 of these received awards in five differ- ent grades. Out of 2829 diplomas given of the Grand Prix, the United States received 218, and out of 8,166 gold medals given, the United States received 486. There are about 6,000 exhibitors from the United States at the Paris exposition, and about 2.000 of these, or more than one-third, re- estved an award in one of the five dif- ferent grades. e @eubbs’ Railroad Career.

His utterances are as direct as rifle bul ets, and in every Paragraph, we can find an aphorism. In his speech of accepience at fa- dianapolis he confined himself almost wholly to th subject of imperialism, whereupon a: ose the cry from Repub- lican leaders and organs that he was dodging all the other platform issues, and particularly the si.ver one. They knew better, for if ‘here is one thing more than »nother the American peo- ple admire 3ryan fcr, it is directness and the cc irage to “speak the thing he will.” No other man with his re- sponsibilit’2s, in our public life today, is politics ly so brave and honest as he. Men‘Xlly and morally he is so framed tnat he cannot hesitate or dodge or fawn, and it is the general Acknow edgment of these characteris- tes that make his character public and Private, unassailable. and gives him in popular est:mation the attributes of a hero. How ¢ ffer nt, although in high station, does his competitor in the national rece louk ‘0 the pub'ic eye. Versatie ouly in vhange, and content oniy in ignoring “piain duty.” McKinley, politically, is + cipher and regarded by the messes 4s s.mpiy a proxy for Mark Haona-—a_ creature ever ready, at the dictates of the trusts “to crook the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning.” Bryan's letter is a public paper worthy to be brecketod with his In- dianapolis speech. It overlooks no topic that thoughtful voters are talk- sng about, and the Republican high- binders who comp.a.ned that he was dodging the silver, income tax, and other vital issues, are now themselves dodging the solar plexus blows his ac- ceptance letter deals out. Unable to answer his logic and trenchant argu- ments and battered by his proofs of their duplicity and rascality they are now saying he covered too much sround, and that he ought to have con- fined hin s>If to what they hypocritica'- ly propound us the paramount issue— that of silver. But even on that point, he has s i! much more than they re is or can refute. He exposes the double dealing of the Republican party in financial matters, and shows that while they have conspired to establish a gold standard, they were too cowardly to declare their purpose until they felt that they had the people at their mercy, and could safe'y pursue a policy of robbery at home im connec- tion with the glamour of expansion and military glory ebroaad. Mr. Bryan shows that the currency system now upheld by the Republican party in- volves a permanent and increasing debt, and adds “it is hardly conceiv- able that the American people will de- liberately turn from the debt paying policy, to the dangerous doctrine of perpetual bonds.” Of trusts he pithily says that “a pri- vate monopo y has always been an out- law. No defense can be made of an industrial system in which one, or a) few men, can control for their own profit the output or price “of any arti-_ cle of merchandise.” | He is equally explicit and pointed in his treatment of government by in- | junction, in denunciation of employes’ blacklists; in a demand for arbitration 28 a prevention of strikes, and the establishmént of a government depart- ment of labor, with a cabinet corsa at its head; in insisting that pension jaws should be construed according to the generous spirit which prompted | their passage; in favoring the imme- diate construction, ownersh'p and con- trol of the Nicaragua canal by the United States, and asserting the right | to close it against any hostile power, | for to rati_y the Pay-la n_efcte treaty would be to lessen its commercial value and convert it into a positive menace in time of war. The entire letter is as meaty as a nut. and worthy of his reputation as a fearless and acute political thinker. Here are a_ few sentences from it: “The weak and qualified condemna- ton of trusts to be found in the Re- publican platform is designed to dis- tract attention while industrial des- potism is completing its work.” | “It is a significant fact that the Re- | publican party should accegt the real | ropean idea of a protectorate, at the | time it adopts a European — policy.” “The principle of direct legislation | res 8 upon the sound theory that the pecpie can be trusted and that the more responrive the government is to the will of the peopie, the more free it will be from mis-use and abuse.” “The abzi.tion of government by in- junction is as necessary for the pro- tection of the reputation of the court as it is for the security of the citizen.” “Ig the hour of danger the govern- ment can’ draft the citizen; it ought to be able t> draft th- p cketbook as well. Uniess money is more precious than ee er eR Se i i ee eee ing a career unparalleled in the annals of time.” * HERESY OF IMPERIALISM. (By David Starr Jordan, President of Standford University.) There are four enemies that have stood in the path of man. These are ar’stocracy, militarism, slavery, and imperialism. There are various other enemies, but those are the four arch- enemies in the political sense. They all spring out of the idea that man be- longs not to himself, but that he be- longs, body and souj, to somebody or something else which owns him. These four enemies in a dangerous garb con- front the United States today. * “Schiller says that the tyrants reach hands to each other—that they reach to each other the hands. They stand together now. These four stand to- gether now. Wherever there is one, the other is. Aristocracy, slavery, mil- iiarism and imperialism. They reach other's hands. They all have their fair, attractive side. They are defended sometimes at the fireside. Slavery was discussed and defended from many a pulpit in New England. Arisiocracy has its fair side. The foundation of a quality is aris- tocracy; the foundation of our liberty is rebellion against it—the very thing we came here for. Theve is a fair side of slavery and a fair side of militarism. How clean the streets can be kept under military dis- ciplice and how free from noise! How easily people can be sent to bed at dark if it be desired, . | There is a fair side of imperialism You wi'l find in many places that nine- tenths of the peuple believe it is a goed thing for the world. May be it is, but when we come to read history from the ove side to the other we will find that the British people have been debauched by their coursein India and that the Hindovs have been cursed. You wll find that the English people have been turned from being a strong. freedom-loving people. You will find also that the heirt’s blood has gone out of Great Britain as it has gone out of all countries which have engaged in constant wars. We know how Napoleon depopulated France by his wars. We know of the murders of the nobility, the murders of the peasantry and the result in France today. In 1630, when the Phil- ippine question was a burning one in Spain, La Puente, an Augustinian friar, expressed his opinion of the whole thing when he said: “Against the gain of redeemed souls I place the cost in loss of armies and cf soldiers and friars sent to the Phil- ippines, and these I count the chief loss, that while mines give silver and forests give lumber, only Spain gives Spaniards, and she shal! give so many cf them that some day she shall be left childless, and forced to bring up strangers’ children instead of her own.” The heresy of imperialism is the most dangerous that has arisen since the heresy of secession, and it must be fought as vigorously as the heresy of secession. If we admit as citizens any number of millions of people that are not ready for liberty, if we admit them with all the degradation which they mnst bring into our politics, we must take the consequences. It is better that we should be just and faithful to our own principles and to the principles of God and that we should in our laws be no respecters of persons, because if in our laws we are respecters of persons we must go the way-of empire, as all empire has gone. The best way in which the growth of any man or nation has ever been pro- moted has been through self-govern- ment democratically looking after its own affairs We do not expect that self-government will always be good government. Men learn not by their successes, but by mistakes. It is ab- solutely impossible for any republic to conduct any affairs well except its own. REPUBLICAN AGNOSTICISM. The Republican campaign has be- come a negative proposition. The can- didates and leaders have become stolid agnostics The rank and file is hiding behind breastworks of shifting saad. Mr. Hanna says: “There are no trusts.” Mr. McKinley says: “There is no such thing as imperial- ism.” i Mr. Roosevelt says: “I am not afraid of militarism, be- cause there isn't any militarism.” Mr. Gage says: “There isn't any gold standard, therefore it must not be attacked.” Chorus of Republican spellbinders: “NOW YOU SEE IT AND NOW YOU DON'T.” Shes Me Bestest Gen’ We, Baltamore Sun:—“There is no im- pe ialism,” declares President McKin- jey in his letter of acceptance. From president down to the humblest spell- binder and organ grinder the republi- cans are kept busy protesting that an evil which does exist in a palpable form really has no existence. Their denials are’ based upon the assumption that the American people are so dull- witted that they are unable to under- stand the difference between Republi- cam government and the kind of gov- ernment which has been established in Porto Rico and which is ultimately to be forced upon the Filipinos. —_______. Pell’ec Dewn the Fine Kansas City Times:—What does Mr. McKinley mean by pulling down the flag in Pekin? It was thought that flag furling. except in territory belong- ing to the United States that England wants, was treason, according to the rules laid down by the Hanhaites. THE TIN-PLATE TRUST. The tin-plate trusts are credited with a capital of $70,900,000. They control 281 tin-plate mills, and are the beneficiaries of the Dingley tariff, which imposes 1% cents a pound on imported tin plate, equal to $3.80 on an average box of tin weighing 220 pounds. ‘The estimate of the annual consump- tion in a state like Infliana is placed at 300,000 boxes of the average weight of 220 pounds each, or 66,000,000 pounds. Before the trusts advanced prices these 300,000 boxes of tin could have been purchased at $2.65 a box, or $795,000. The trusts advanced prices to $4.65 per box, increasing the cost to $1,395,000, netting the trust a clear gain of $600,000 a year from the people of a state the size of Indiana. The tcriff duties under the Dingley bill, 1% cents a pound, would enable the trusts to rob the people to an ex- tent of $990,000 a year, which will probably be done, since in the last ten months they have succeeded by the advance in prices tu secure $600,000 of the amount. There is absolately no substitute for tin, and the extent of the trusts’ rob- beries is a mere matter of discretion. They control the market and fix prices as they please, and there is no appeal from their decision but to the great tribunal of the people. In such emergencies the question is asked in what way the tin-plate trusts directly affect the people's welfare. The enswer is in all matters in which tin is used by Yhe people. An Indian- apolis, Ind.. establishment manufac- turing 73.900.00 tin <#is a year con- svmes $0000 toxes ef tin, the cost having been advanced $2 a box in value | an increased exvendiinse of $160,000 a year. The peopie wh» purchase tin eans are reqnire’ to pt? about $12 a thousand more fr their cans than be- fore the trusts alvance® prices. If a man wants a tin roof or his residence or business building he finds the price has advanced $45, and if kis house is to be guttered, he finds the average advance at least $20. and in any one of 50.009 homes, where a full outfit of tin utensils could have been purchaset before the trusts hegan operations for $3. the outfit now costs at least $4. increasing the total 50 per cent, or $75,000. But going back to authent'c data, states the size of Indiana. dur- ing the last year, have beer robbed by the tin trusts of $60,900, a2 the rob- beries are proceeding uncnecked. If a state like Indiana can be plundered to the extent of $600,000 a vear, then it is safe to say, basing calculation upon population, that the tin trusts are rob- bing the peon'e of the United States of more shan $19,000,000 a year. A REFUBLICAN TRIBUTE TO BRYAN. The Boston Herald is compelled to pay Mr. Bryan a tribute of praise for the masteriy speech he delivered last week at Indianapolis and to remark that it will be “thoronghly read. It says: The Herate. as is well enough kfown by this time, does not take the | same view of the enbject discussed that is held by Mr. Bryan, and does not support his candidacy. But to say of this address that it lacks the quality of full manliaess. intellectual or moral, would stultify our judgment. It is the utterance of a robust, earnest, compe- tent dispuiant on a high theme of Statesmanship. We have no motive to overpraise it: but our feeling is | that this speech will give Bryan higher rank among the statesmen of the nation than he h-s had before. The significance of the speech to the Republican party is that it is high time for its leaders to quit calling names and get down to business. If they suppose that it is in the power of money, or party organizations, or art- fully fostered prejudices, te success- fully oppose the effect of such an ad- dress op the minds of the intelligent plain people who constitute the over- whelming majority of the @lectorate of the nation, they will make a mis- take. Mark Hanna, with all the mil- lions he can command, and s!] the un- scrupulous machine bosses he holds in leash, is not a match for a man who can talk to the American people as Bryan does in this speech: His ob- vious sincerity, frankness and direct- ness will break through and demolish any fortress of material politics or chicanery that can be erected in its path. It will prove a more effettive speech than Senator Hoar’s because it has intense devotion and indomitable courace behind it.” 5 Much Abuse of Olney. Springfield, Mass., Republican:—The attack on Mr. Olney because of his support of Mr. Bryan takes several different lines. He is “brutal” in his comments on Mr. McKinley; he wants to be the Democratic candidate him- self in 1904, when he will be in his seventieth year; he hasn’t voted in Boston since 1895; he wrote a maga- zine article that our national “isola- tion” was a thing of the past, -and, consequently, he has no right to think the acquisition of the Philippines a blunder; he is the original imperialist | himself, because he forced England to treat a small nation as she would a big one. Mr. Olney takes all this trouncing, and says nothing, declining resolutely to be interviewed. Greed Led to Criminal Aggressi-n. Utica, N. Y., Observer:—Bungling diplomacy, led by organized greed, le’t us a legacy of trouble in the Philip- pines which would 7“ been avoided had we adhered to end to the an- nounced policy in the beginning of avoiding criminal aggression. May we be spared from the results of the s»me kind of bungling diplomacy in the Chi- nese difficulty. There is safety in fidel- ity to our own policy. - Buckled Waistcoat of sux. A new waistcoat has made its bow to the Parisian public, and seems to have hit feminine fancy. It is of white taffeta embroidered or painted in water colors with small roses, and is made, like a man’s waistcoat, with a strap and buckle in the back. Be- ing worn with a bolero or eton, there is mo pretense of hiding this buckle, which is of the most elaborate char- acter and matches the handsome but- tons which, in front, fasten the waist- coat over a jabot of costly lace. —____. Warketine TWint«. When ordering meats remember that beef, when boiled, loses one pound of weight in every four, and when roast- ed eighteen ounces. Mutton loses even more than beef. This should be thought of where much meat is used. Meat should always be hung, for by this means air circulates all around and keeps it sweet. In very hot weather a wipe with a cloth once or twice a day, with a sprinkling of pep- per or flour, will tend to keep it, and if only slightly tainted, a wash over with vinegar and water, or borax and water, will generally remove al! un- pleasant flavor. BDiisemsesn at Fnelich Re<arts, . Miss Florence Warden of “The House on the Marsh” fame, has point- ed out the danger of visiting various English seaside resorts. which, dur- ing the winter months, have been util- ized for convalescent homes for people suffering from diphtheria. black meas- les and other contagious or infections diseases. With reference to Sandgate, one of the houses, she states, ~-on- tained diphtheria patients the winter before last, and was turned last <um- mer into the Grosvenor hotel. in which form it was used for the reception and entertainment of hundreds of travel- ers.” The same house, it appears, was utilized as a consumpticn hospital throughout last winter and spring, and continued to be so used as recently as April 30, when it waz reported on by 4 doctor as a consumptive hospital. Since then it has again been turned into the Grosvenor hote!. and is once more become a house of entertainment. Such a curious situation would searcely be possible in this country ‘Trade Mark Laws of Denmark. Consu! Ingersoll, at Copenhagen, in a report to the state department, says he deems it of importance to American exporters to Denmark to direct their attention to the trade mark laws of that country. Under the Danish law a trade mark is granted four months trom the date of filing the application. but any person having already regis- tered a similar trade mark in another country may apply here and the mark will be registered in the name of the person to whom such trade mark has been granted, tha rozistration upon behalf of the Danis applicant being refused. The American manufacturer whose trade mark has not been regis- tered in Denmark runs the risk of having it taken away from him by any unscrupulous person who intends to put an imitation of American goods upon that market. A large firm of English pickle makers has lately been compelied by reason of neglect in this matter of trade mark registration to materially modify its old trade mark of St. George and the dragon because the saint and the dragon had been ap- propriated by a Danish firm making a liquid dentifrice. The popularity of American goods in Denmark, the con- sul says, grows daily, and American manufacturers will avoid much trou- ble and expense by registering with- out delay.—Washington Star. Horseflesch ac Fond. The old question as to the healthful- ness, if not the palatabilfty, of horse- uesh, has been suggested again by the experieuces of the people in the re- cently besieged towns of Kim- berley, Ladysmith and Mafeking. At each of these points it became necessary, before relief came, to indulge to a considerable extent in the flesh of horses. Experi- ences with this diet seem to have va- ried, according to accounts of surviv- ors, says Leslie’s Weekly. At Lady- smith horse steak, even when served up in the most appetizing form pos- sible unuer the circumstances, was pronounced repulsive, and those who dined on it were afficted with a dis- | tressing nausea. At Mafeking, how- ever, where horse meat was the chief | item of the bill of fare for a time, it seemed to agree with those who par- took. The explanation of this may lie in the fact that the garrison at Mafeking was reduced to much greater extremeties than the one at Ladysmith and hunger, as everyone knows, makes @ piquanc sauce for almost anything. It is never easy to understand why horse meat should vg objectionable at any time or piace. In France the meat of both horses and donkeys is openly sold in the butchers’ shops, duly labeled as such in large letters. Horseflesh is also largely consumed in Paris restaurants, without any label, and passes easily for beef. We eat readily the flesh of swine, which feed on anything, and we even regard ducks as a delicacy, yet the flesh of the horse, which is one of the cleanest and most dainty-feeding of animals, is looked upon with loathing. It is ap- Darently all a question of habit or usage. 2 Palmolive For the. a R Ee SET ee TERS Ne aap STREETERS aca - Sone eee a v > — ers sy - ee _— . eee ese rn ners SO ee ee a : ae recs a ™ i + - : re : Pare tte os wy a oe aareanee ey weary 0! eee hundred one ailments which affect women , bas found in Pe-ru-na ae star of hope, which her to joy, her = ing to health.” ‘No woman need suffer from the derangements peculiar to her sex, if she will give Pe-ru- ee pty of weaknesses The mai which e oe 's life a burden, ing from a simple a "The —— ae which lines pelvic organs becomes weakened and in- flamed owing to strain, cold, overwork, etc. This causes catarthal congestion, inflam- mation, painful irregularities, depression of spirits, irritabil- ity, weakness and suffering.

MASON - DIXON LINE TWO STATES CONTRIBUTE TO ITS RETENTION. 4 New Survey of the Famous Boundary Between the States of Penusyivania and Maryland—Over Mountain and Valley. During the present month there ‘will be begun a Tesurvey of that famous old boundary between Penn- sylvania and Maryland, known as Ma- son and Dixon's Line. The object of the restfrvey is to re-establish the line monuments, and to place monuments on the western end of the line where none have hitherto existed. The state of Pennsylvania and the state of Maryland have each appropriated $1,000 for this purpose. Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey, is president of the commission that will have the matter in charge. The other mem- SSs | =} | we » \ ZB te Wy HENRY S.

Her beau- ty, her grace, her true dramatic in- stinct made her a favorite everywhere. She was born in New York of French parents and to her mother, who was a well-known singer, she owes her training.

At any rate, there are at least three cables, working at a depth of nearly 17,000 feet, and four in about 16,000; but the vast majority lie in water about 12,000 feet deep or less. Repair- ing a cable is hard work. The ap paratus has to be at once sensitive and strong. The repairing steamer pro- ceeds to the point where calculation shows the break or damage to have happened, and then lowers a grapnel, which it slowly drags across the route of the cable at right angles. As soon as a tension on the grapnel rope is noted, due to catching the cable it has hooked. great pains have to be taken Jest the precious treasure-trove slip off at any stage of its journey up to daylight. Special grapnels have been devised for this important work. In one of the latest the prongs project from = hood like the claws of 4 crab. Should any of them come fn contact with rock on the bottom of the sea seay recede within the shield suffici- | corner of Maryland to about the Borthwest corner. The remainder of the Pennsylvania line to the south- west corner of Pennsylvania was sur- veyed and re-marked in 1885. Tt is interesting to know that Messrs. Mason & Dixon marked out other lines beside the east and west south boundary of Pennsylvania. Their journal, a copy of which is in the possession of the Maryland land Office and another copy in the Penn- sylvania Historical Society library, States that they resurveyed the entire west boundary of Delaware and also determined the distance from the northeast corner of Maryland to the Delaware river, 15 miles below Phila- delphia. These lines of Mason & Dixon do not, of course, come under the attention of the new commission. - Granite posts three feet in length will be used in the Mason & Dixon ‘marking. About the only inscription will be a “P” on the Pennsylvania side and an “M” on the Maryland side, together with a reference to the authority under which the resurvey is to be made. The popular impression is that a stone will be placed at the end of each mile, but this is erroneous. The topo- graphy has much to do with the fre- quency of the marks, the idea being to locate them so that a straight line from one to the next nearest can be easily determined by the surveyor. Stones are also placed at highways and important streams for the con- venience of officers of the law. The stones with which the greater Portion of the Mason & Dixon Line is now marked were brought from England. Out in the western part of Maryland and in West Virginia, how- ever, mounds of earth and stones were heaped up to a height of peshaps eight feet. That work was done in 1767, yet in 1885 they were still two feet or more above the level of the ground, and were serving their purpose fairly well. The surverurs had cut great vistas through the woods along the boundary line as they progressed, and these remained with much distinc- tion. ently to let the grapnel glide over the obstruction. In this new grapnel the prong, if it has hooked a bight of cable, will still hold on when it re- tracts into the shell—London Tit-Bits. | Welf Species Contribute to the Country's Development. | Wolf dogs are not the handsomest of their species, yet they are now, and have been in the past, contributing not a little aid to the development of the far northwest. Much has been ‘said of the Klondike, but the wolf dogs, which in the beginning made that frigid El Dorado possible, have ‘received little more than passing com- ment. Nor has this neglect been due to their being but the humble servants of the master—man. They are far from humble, as their wild ancestry attests. They may be beaten into sub- mission, but that will not prevent them still snarling their hatred. They may be starved into apparent docility and then die suddenly, with teeth fast locked in a brother's throat, torn to pieces by their comrades. Rather has little attention been accorded them because the interest of man has gravi- tated inexorably toward the natural, mineral and social features of that far- northerly land. But the husky is far from uninteresting. As a type of en- durance no better evolved product of natural eelection need be sought. If ever a species has been born and bred of hard times it has. Only the fittest in a struggle for existence extending through a thousand generations have survived. And they are well fit. Do- mesticated by the savage autochthons of that forbidding region, they may not only account their remote ances- tors as wild wolves, but often their immediate forbears. CS SES a ow eee For the last fifteen years Dr. E. H. Dewey of Meadville, Pa. has never eaten breakfast. As a result he de- clares he is always in good health and has never known the pangs of dyspep- sia. Dr. Dewey believes that to eat immediately after getting up in the morning is irrational and harmful. At that time the body is recuperated by sleep and is in no need of food. If a heavy breakfast is eaten the vital forces are employed with digestion and consequently a smaller amount of work can be done. So long has Dr. Dewey preached and practiced his pe- culiar theory that a large percentag: of the inhabitants of Meadville have become his disciples, and the break- fast bell is fast becoming unknown in the Pennsylvania town. Dr. Dewey is a practicing physician, and in many cases of severe illness he prescribes not only abstinence from breakfast but from food at any time until the pa- tient is well on the way to recovery. It is his gpinion that many diseases are caused by overeating, and that they can be cured quicker by fasting than in any other way.—Chicago Tri- bune. ia Inoeatatinn Against Cholera.

One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness. loss of — and strength, all indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For the — queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N. J., writes: “ Dear Mrs. Prxxnam :—I feel it is my duty to write and tell you how grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done forme. Atone time I suffered everything a woman could. I had inflammation of the ovaries, falling of the womb, and leucorrhea. At times could not hold a needle to sew.

After a recent ecclesiastical function, as the clergy were trooping in to luncheon, one of the most unctuous observed: “Now to put a bridle on our appetites.” “Now, to put a bit between my teeth,” retorted the bishov. “Why doesn’t Adelaide bring in the turkey?” demanded the professor, who sat waiting, carving knife in hand. No response. A premonition of impend- jug trouble hung over the company. “Why has Adelaide delayed?” he ask- ed. “Is there no one to aid Adelaide?” No? Aid delayed. Ah, de lady comes with a delayed turkey, and the table tooks a deal laden.” “I wonder,” riused one of the younger members of the group, “if the ezg from which this turkey was hatched was A. D. laid.” The professor groaned. The probabie effect of his example on the rising generation had never occutred to him. AS TRUE AS GOSPEL. How seemingly unattainable are the heights of purity from the depths of wickedness. Nothing in the world is more haugh- ty than a man of moderate capacity when once raised to power. Of things that are in our power are our opinions, impulses, pursuits, avoid- ances, and, in brief, all that is our own doing. A greater value should be set on having received instructive and use- ful lessons than on possessing great store of wealth; for the latter is a transitory good, the former is durable. A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district— allstudied and appreciated as they merit, are the principal support of vir- tue, morality and civil liberty. Two things, says Kant, fill the mind with every new and increasing admir- ation and awe the oftener and the more steadily we refiect on them—the starry heavens above, and the moral “The best offering you can make to (God is to enjoy to the full what He sends of good; and bear what he allows ot evil, likea child who believes in ali her father’s dealings with it, whether it understends them or net.

QUAINT OBSERVATIONS. Physic is a poor substitute for exer- cise. If a man has short legs they can’t be-long to him. Time is money—with the abscond- ing bank official. Conscience makes cowar is of us all unless we are lawyers. A long face is very apt to be in part- nership with a long conscience. Too many culinary assistants are sure to impair the flavor of the con- somme. Some men rise because of their gravity and some sink because of their levity. A fashionable tailor says that many of his customers dwell in the land of promise. Speculation sometimes empties a man’s pockets and fills his hat with costly experience. The less some people know about things the greater the volubility of their expressed opinions. “The boy who works hardest for the Jeast pay may eventually become the man who has to pay the biggest taxes. Same habits are practiced so uncon- seiously that a movement to correct them in others is the only way to de- tect-them in yourself. | f& writer says: “No man can look at the stars without wishing he could live forever.” If he refers to the stars im the average theatrical cast he is ‘away off --Chirago News.
