FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1901.

IF the corn crop of Kansas and Nebraska are ruined by the drought we may expect to hear of largely attended Populist conventions this fall.

ABOUT the only difference between the status of Cleveland and Bryan in the Democratic party is that Cleveland had his picture turned to the wall while Bryan had his used for a door mat.

THE admirable movement for good roads may meet occasional obstacles and setbacks, but it must prevail in the end, because everything worthy and of good report is working in its favor,

"I INTEND to fight to the bitter end every effort to force the abandonment of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms," says Mr. Bryan. About the only comment that can be made on this remark is that Mr. Bryan will not have long to fight.

JAMES M. SELLAR, whatever else may be said of him, was a man of warm heart and unusually generous impulse?. Those who know him do not for an instant doubt that his last act was impelled by the reason set forth in the letter left by him He was that sort of ft

man,

THE buying in this country of horses and mules for the use of the British army In South Africa is still kept up so actively that it is clear the British war office does not now expect an early cessation of hostilities. Those Boers do seem to take an ugly lot of chasing after all these many months of fighting. They are amazingly hard to catch.

JUNE passed in Havana without a single case of yellow fever for the first time since 1781. This is a combined tribute to American government and to modern sanitation and preventive medicine. And in addition it is an assurance of the future greatness of New Orleans and the other gulf ports when the Nicaragua canal is once completed.

FOUR years ago the Democrats were trampling Cleveland's picture under foot, and now the likeness of the "peerless Bryan" is doing service as a door mat at Democratic conventions What the Democrats want is not principles but a leader who can fetch them safely to the land of corn, oil and wine. From present indications, however, they will have to beat the bullrushes for many years before a Moses is found.

CAPTAIN ALLEN,since his reception, has been llutiering around trying to refute what every one else says regarding the situation in the Philippines and the value of those islands to the United States. He is trying to sustain his absurd campaign lies whereas he could much better employ his time in trying to find out what the boys did with that big wad he donated for campaign expenses. Some of it might be recovered as it probably isn't all spent yet.

MR. BRYAN remarks in his paper that too much importance is being given to the Democratic convention in Ohio. This is what he said when the Democrats of St. Louis nominated and elected over his bitter protest an odious gold bug who voted twice for McKinley. Mr. Bryan will have occasion to repeat that remark now pretty frequently as Democratic conventions meet and act. In the end he may be driven to the conclusion that while no one of them was especially important as a whole they cut a pretty wide swath.

CHICAGO Chronicle (Dem.): The Democrats of Ohio were fortunate in having the opportunity first to apply Democratic doctrine to the important questions which have long been considered only from a Republican standpoint. The thoroughness with which they performed the task proves that the convention must have been highly representative of the intelligence and substance of the party. They have blazed a way which Democrats in all sections of the republic should make haste to follow.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel slyly remarks: "The Republican press seems to be much exercised over the failure of the Ohio convention to devote a por tlon of its platform to a useless tribute to Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan needs no eulogy now. He is too strongly intrenched in the Democratic heart. But when he voluntarily announced that he would not be a candidate for President

in 1904, and thereby relinquished the leadership of the party, he placed principles above men. Mr. Bryan is too ardently attached to the cause of constitutional government to be very susceptible to flattery or attack."

The above sounds very nice, indeed, but we should like to ask if Mr. Bryan's voluntary announcement had as its logical sequel the tramping of his picture under foot at the Columbus convention':' One thing seems to-be pretty certain, however, and that is that no matter what the delegates thought, about placing principles above men, they certainly believed in placing feet above pictures.

A S T*-11K PIT DIA TI is" 0! PARTY.

St. Louis Globe-Bcmocrat: A specimen of how the Democratic party is conducted is shown by the state convent,1!. in Ohio. Tl.it) national programme of last year is shoved aside, Principles and candidate alike are abandoned. Last year the Ohio Democrats were vociferous for Bryan and the Kausas City platform. Now all is changed. Something now must be tried, for the people have emphatically condemned the Democratic creed and leader of 1896 and 1900. There was a time when the Democratic party represented something definite, but it has been drifting about for the last seven or eight years without rudder or compass. It reverses itself without the slightest ceremony, excommunicates Cleveland and Bryau in turn, and still tries to make the people believe that it represents something more than a passion for spoils.

What is called a conservative platform has been provided in Ohio. In the Democratic dictionary conservative is another word for crawfish. The platform of last year is flung away. The standard bearer's name is excluded as a hoodoo. Ordinarily it is held that a national platform remains in force until another is adopted. Not so with the Democratic party. Its doctrines change with the seasons. Its tendency to commit some glaring folly and iti general incompetency never change. As an organization it is kept alive by its name, not by any issues that it embraces. It would embrace anything on earth to win—silver, gold, shinplasters, or wampum. After two wild campaigns to debase the currency, it claim3 to have become conservative. People must be confiding, indeed, to suppose that the word means any moral regeneration. It is the same battered and disreputable old party starting a fre3h game of false pretenses.

IN an editorial under the caption, "The day begins to dawn," Henry Watterson. in Friday's Louisville CourierJournal', discusses the Ohio Democratic state convention and its turning down of Bryan and the Kansas City platform. He says: ''At last the Buckeye valiants are tired of sucking eggs that have no meat in them. Thoy realize that inflationism in all its forms is a losing card "Mr. Bryan has had both his chance and his day. His plea for another trial will not hold water. His dedication no longer exercises any power of command. It means simply hopeless division, continued defeat, ultimate ruin. Anybody with half a mind can see this plainly. Hence the Ohio Democrats, realizing the situation and acting upon it, put the past, with its factions and dissensions, behind them. The new day has dawned death to the fools that get in the way."

KENTUCKY is making a fight for good roads and at a public meeting the other day the following clinching argument was advanced by the county judge: "You don't know how much trouble I used to have when I was courting in my younger days. Sometimes I would take my sweetheart buggy riding and I had so much trouble driving over the rough roads I couldn't let go the reins at all. Had to drive with both hands. It's a little better now and a fellow can get one hand in action on some roads, but the time is coming when a young man will be able to lay the reins over the dash board and have both hands and arms free, and good roads will bring that happy time."

REPRESENTATIVE HEPBURN, who is in Washington on business, says that Senator Allison was in dead earnest when he started that Presidential boom for Governor Shaw, of Iowa that the Republicans of Iowa are solidly behind Governor Shaw and will present his name to the national convention, al though they fully recognize the handicap that the big and certain Republican majority always given by the state will be to him, owing to the natural tendency of conventions to give greater consideration to close and doubtful states in choosing a candidate.

THEY are praying for rain out in Missouri, but it is doubtful if they get it. The Lord will not look favorably on a state that allows the Republicans only one congressman out of sixteen when they cast forty-six per cent of the vote.

THE man who has last year's corn on hand is in luck. With the crop threatened by drought in the west the market is soaring. Corn and hogs are on top of the heap and blessed is the man who has them to sell.

Comment

J. K. Everson: "Our new brickyard north of town on the Monon will begin operations on about August 15, and we shall make soft building brick exclusively. We shall make them of the shale on our land and they will be of a fine color and quality. Our factory will have a capacity of 25,000 a day and we shall work it to its capacity." 5f

A Druggist: "I notice that the state medical Doard is objecting to druggists writing prescriptions for people that come in and ask for something. Well, we have a kick also against the doctors because they carry a drug store of their own and fill most of their own prescriptions. Why, it has come to pass that drug drummers visit the physicans just the same as they do the drug stores and they make good sales, too. We believe that we have better grounds than the medical board for kicking, hence we kick."

A Banker: "It is astonishing the number of checks that are now written compared to the previous months. The increase is caused by the repeal of the revenue law that provided for two cents on ^checks. Now everybody is writing checks, where before a man wrote them only when he had too But that is what we are here for, so we don't objeot,"

Policeman: There are always more drunks to be handled during July and August than at any other time during the whole year. They are whiskey drunks, too, and I don't understand it. One would think that a hot drink like whiskey would be shunned such weather as this, but the boys go after it just the same. Possibly it affects them morereasily in summer, but anyhow, more get tipsy than in the winter."

E. A. Wilhite: "I suspect that I am probably the only man in town who remembers the first ice cream saloon in Crawfordsville. It was established way back there when I was a boy and was located near where the Monon station now stands. Over the hill east of the station there is a big spring on the hillside and abovo this spring George C. Clark erected his ice cream parlor. The baGk part of the house stood on stilts and at the spring the ice cream was made. The cream was abominable stuff, judged by the standard of to-day, but it was good then in spite of the chunks of ice in it and its general watery flavor. It was regarded as a mighty institution and its fame went far around, causing young bucks to come in over the rough paths and roads for twenty miles around. The "parlor" looked more like the interior of a smoke house than a fashionable resort, but then in those days rough things were the rule."

Bruce Carr: "I still have my corn crop of last year, three thousand bushels, in the crib and I intend to keep it there for the present. If this drought keeps up corn will be more valuable than wheat.

After four years of trial General Wallace has succeeded in locating a splendid colony of fox squirrels in the big forest trees about his residence. The pretty little animals and their young can bo seen at all hours frisking about the lawn and they are jealously guarded from dogs and the air gun boy.

M. M. Bachelder: "Ladoga is as quiet as the grave^just now, although no one is dead, dying, or drunk. In fact the only, drunks we have down there are those fthat come from Crawfordsville. The other night a couple of frisky females named Bertha and Mary were there with a couple of tough boys and [they scandalized the whole town. The people are getting tired, and about the next outfit that in­

Fred Hoffman: "Our kilns are burning all right now and the brick we are turning out all grade very high, much better than the first burnings. This is what we expected, however, but there is still considerable satisfaction in knowing that the finest paving brick in the country can be made right here at home."

Captain Billingsley: "We are needing rain very much for the benefit of the berry orop. If there isn't a good shower within a very few days the blackberry crop in this county won't be worth picking. The berries will simply be little bunches of seed unfit for use. A good rain now would mean a great crop, however, as the bushes are full."

I will guarantee that eggs can be fried hard on the roof at any place, and how the workmen stand it there all day is something for a mathematician to figure out."

vades the town will be pulled and sent back here to jail."

Farmer: "If we don't have some rain here in a few days our corn crop will be cut mighty short if not entirely done for. The drought struck it just at the wrong time when it is shooting. The blackborry crop is practically ruined now and other fruits are being affected. They can't stand the combined heat and dryness very well. The poaches will worry through all right though as they don't mind a drought at this stage of their development. In fact after peaches onco bloom ycu have to pull up the tree to stop them."

Curl Scott: "A man named McCoy was in the ollice last Monday who stated that he had lived here sixty-nine years and still had in his possession the horns of a big buck he killed in the hazel brush where the Wabash college buildings now stand. If I am here six-ty-nine years from now I can tell the boys of the Elks I helped to capture within two blocks of the court house back in 1901."

W. T. Wasson: "I have just come in from Iowa and rain is badly needed there. Still the corn crop is not ruined there as has been reported. If it rains within the next two weeks there will be a very fair crop in Iowa and all the adjoining states."

Last Tuesday some facetious freak held a match under the government thermometer at Warner & Peck's until it had registered 115 degrees. The record once made is left by a line traced in the color of the mercury. When Mr. Peck took the observation at noon he was simply paralyzed by the oppressive heat and all but fainted. After some cool water had been poured on his head, however, he came around all right.

A Sad City.

Mr. and Mrs. Dumont Peck returned last week from a visit at Mr. Peck's former home, Goodland. Several of the victims of the Alton wreck lived in Goodland and their mutilated bodies arrived there 'last Friday. Several others lived at Kentland, nearby, and all were from among the most prominent families in the community. The excitement and grief in Goodland and Kentland are intense and the community was never more saddened. Miss Rider, one of the victims, was the sister of the young lady who is soon to marry Harry Little, best man at Mr. Peck's wedding here last year.

Carrie to Ulve Bond.

Danville, (111..) Commercial: The managers of the Eiks' carnival are negotiating with Mrs. Carrie Nation for her appearance during tho week of the street fair. The only hitch in the proceeding is the fear that Carrie will not acquiesce in the requirement of a bond to keep the peace, as the Elks do not feel like undertaking to indemnify any losses that might ensue should the famous hatvihet ba brought into use.

The diseases most feared are those which are Inherited—handed down from generation to generation, and family to family. By far the most destructive of these is Cancer, which finds the greatest number of its victims among the children and grand-children of those whose blood was tainted with this dreadful malady. You may carry this poison in the blood for years, but as the vital powers begin to wane a slight bruise or cut, wart or mole, sore or pimple may deveiop into Gancer. From middle life to old age is the time when the slumbering poison is most apt to break out, a sore or ulcer often degenerating ***to Cancer, and Tuinora become more progressive and ulcerate through the 6kin, the sharp, shooting pains causing the most intense suffering. ___ The Cancer patient naturally grows^ despondent as one after another the usual remedies fail, and the sore shows no sign of healing. The impurities that have been accumulating in tke system, perhaps for generations, cannot be eliminated nor the poisoned blood made pure by salves, washes and plasters. The proper treatment is to purify and build up the blood, remove the cause, when the sore or ulcer heals.

Mr. J. B. Arnold, of Greenwood, S. C., writes: "A &rectly tiny tjlcer came, just under the left eye. It began spreading-, and g-rcw worse rapidly, destroying the fleBli as it went.
