John Clark Ridpath, the famous writer and historian, died at New York last Monday. The democrats of the Sevnth (Indiaupolis)district have nonriFrank B. Burke for congress. If a cat has nine lives, how many has the Emperor of China and the Philippine “rebellion ?” In 1892 the democratic ticket, with Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson for vice-president, swept Illinois by a plurality of 28,000. Uncle Sam is engaged in the unpleasant task of turning plowshares into swords, thanks to the “splendid administration’’ of, William I. Rathbone bought a jippi-japa pronounced hippy-happy—hat for his coachipanat a cost of over twelve dollars. Now he will have a hippy happy time paying for it. The weekly statement From General McArthur that the rebellion is over is accompanied by a cry for reinforcements and a protest against the withdrawal of any troops. R. P. Stuart of Portland, has been employed by the town trustees of Geneva to examine the books of ex-Treasurer George W. Hamma, alleged to be short in his accounts. Whether the man now on trial at Frankfort was guilty of murdering Goebel or not, there is ample proof that the murder was committed as a result of a conspiracy by the Republican office holders of the state. . The Bryan notification meeting at Indianapolis next Wednesday will be a big day for Indiana democracy. The railroads will make one-fare rates and prominent democrats from all over the country will be in attendance.

Mr. Bryan will emphasize imperialism in his speech of #acceptance. relegating other issues to his formal letter and to later speeches. This does not mean that he is any the less a silver man but that he agrees with the Democratic platform and with the country that imperialism is the paramount issue this year. J. Marsh \\ ilson. ex-treasurer of Shelby county, was taken to the penitentiary at Michigan City last Tuesdaj’ to serve sentence for filing falsi* claims against Shelby county.' The conviction grew out of the investigation of county affairs being imide in that county, and W ilson is the second ex-coun-ty officer now serving time for robbing the county.

Advices received by the Democratic National and Congressional Campaign Committees show that the Germans are largely breaking away to Bryan, following the lead of the prominent men amongst them who have already declared for him. If one-third of the German vote of the middle west shifts sides and it now seems that twothirds will do so—McKinley will be beaten out of sight. Governor Roosevelt made a mistake like one of those that caused Blaine s defeat when he characterized all Democrats, without exception, as lawless, dishonest and cowardly. Of course the Governor does not believe this but was merely talking for rhetorical effect. Nevertheless, his words will unquestionably cost him and his chief dearly, alienating possible Democratic accessions to the Republican ranks. No one denies that McKinley is a well intentioned man. But a certain place is paved with gold intentions. McKinley has led the country far astray from the safe paths laid down by the fathers and has involved it in a bewildering jungle of imperialism, militarism and colonialism. The return will be long and difficult and it may be decades before we free ourselves from the vicious effects of the past two years. But we can make a beginning and the time to do so is now.

Democrats of Pulaski and White counties will hold their representative convention at Monticello today. Hon. Frank B. Burke and other prominent leaders will be present and address the meeting. George Fred Williams made a good point in his speech at Monon, on Wednesday. “I have been twice defeated,” he said, “as a candidate for governor in my state, but lam not under obligation to the governor of Indiana for protection while I speak to you!” And the people, remembering W. S. Taylor, of Kentucky, roared their appreciation of the point.—Lafayette Journal. Some of our imperialist friends profess to believe that there can be imperialism without militarism such as weighs so heavily on European countries which are armed to the teeth. But those who know that imperial government rests on the army as a foundation know that building up a big standing aimy is the first step toward a permanent policy of foreign conquest and subjugation. —Utica Observer.

If Gaetano Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert of Italy, could only have reached Indiana after firing the fatal shots, he would have been safe from the clutches of the law, and would have been a most desirable acquisition to Gov. Mount’s Kentucky proteges, Messrs. Taylor et al. Perhaps, too, the republican state committee could have secured his services on the stump this fall. There are quite a number of his countrymenprotected American (?) laborers, employed by the big capitalistic organizations of the state, working for a mere pittance, living in hovels and eating food that would sicken a hog. A desertation on the beauties of the republican “protection” policy from so noted a personage as Bresci would no doubt win many •'Dago’’ votes for the trust ticket.

The Chicago Chronicle, which was a Gold Democrat paper in 1896, and supported Palmer and Buckner, says: “Gold Democrats can recall what McKinley’s policy has lieen. A higher protective tariff than ever, the malign policy of imperialism and militarism, foreign wars for aggression and conquest, the expenses of the goverment increased to nearly $700,(XX),(KM) a year, are the fruits of McKinley’s election in 1896. It is not honest for a few men claiming to represent the remnants of the gold Democratic faction to nominate a ticket which they do not support at the polls. There are but two real candidates for President, William Jennings and Bryan William McKinley, representing opposite opinions in regard to public policy. The paramount issue is imperialism and all which it implies. Imperialists will vote for McKinley as the striking representative of their belief. Anti-imperialists will vote lor William J. Bryan, the representative candidate of the forces that oppose imperialism.”

AN APPEAL TO VOTERS. “'Come let us reason together." (Kipling) "Take up the white ! man’s burden.” Just so. Isn’t i that what we republicans ar i doing? Such as Mark Hanna and | Fairbanks, don’t they lay awake ' nights planning for the poor heathen? True, Neely and Rathbone and that sort hunting flesh pots I put a darkening color on righteous plans: but look at the motive underneath! Who will pulldown I the flag? Says Teddy: “We stand at the parting of the ways!” What ways? Why the old ways. We have I turned over a new leaf and as republicans we are proud of it. The old pages are venerable because i they are old and not because of i'any inherent virtue. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were well enough in their day. “Not to engage in entangling alliances” was good advice when we were an infant, but what's the use of being strong if you can’t bully some one? And so Ted says: “Everyman will support us in this new way who is worthy the name of American.” Is that plain enough? Hurrah for Ted! We lammed the Spanish, and good actions should bo oft repeated. \\ e are progressive you see. We give medicine to the peo- ' pie of “far away Isles.” Patrick I Henry said; “Give me liberty or give me death.” What is liberty j worth to a people with a large army and navy unless you can “lam” the other fellow? It is all right to have the consent of the governed, but if they Won’t consent the only way is to take it by force. As McKinley

says: “We won’t flinch from our duty.” True, the heathen never did us any harm, but the “White man’s burden is our’s” and “Who’ O, WHO! will pull down the flag?” As Teddy says in his speech of acceptance, “For ns to fail in the coming election would bring misery and shame.” Of course it would. Every republican “worthy the name of American” understands this. Ten thousand times ten thousand men, good and true, would be miserable, yes and ashamed to lose the place of honor and trust confided to them by a gracious people. To very many it would be absolute ruin, or it’s alternate, “manual labor.” An American should be an American. Over one hundred years this nation has plodded bn with it’s feet in metaphorical fetters, riveted fast by the advise of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln, who, could they have seen the glorious future, as Dewey at Manilla, Sampson at Santiago, and Teddy’s charge at San Juan, would have tempered their advise with a proviso to, “go slow till you learn to peddle.” England's navy makes the great powers of the earth prudent and obsequious; the weaker ones to tremble. Asia and Africa yield tribute to her. Her law of commerce is the law of the world. Even the liberty-loving “Yankee” conforms—through republican laws —to her “golden” rule. What? What is that ruledid you ask? It means— well according to McKinley it means, “we must do our duty.” In plain English it means, “Keep what you’ve got, and get all you can.” Curious you democrats can’t comprehend things so plain. Didn't we pay 820,000,000 to Spain for her claim on the Philippine Islands, including fighting rights? And haven’t we taken thousands of lives and spent $200,000,000 more to secure the plunder? As we interpret international law, that people and country is ours. In moral law it means such liberty as we have to spare—on obedience —may be theirs. What more, in reason, could they ask ? What? Want to rule themselves, do they? But they are a blessed minority and minorities don’t govern —Kentucky excepted—and bet ter than all “Beverage” has publicly assured them of honest administration in government. The Cubans are learning what that is, and think it a little mixed, but a bad beverage is better than none in a dry time, and liberty may be a versatile quantity, not always on tap. My Dear Voter: The democrat may think of the joy a democratic victorj’ may bring to the people offer away isles, but be you mure patriotic, and think of the happy homes in this land, I when republican liberty is as-] sured to us, and not only that but the honor and profit we will have | in dishing out liberty to others. And if we should fail, think of the misery and shame of it. Why. unborn millions might howl through all eternity and the burden of ages be ours.

A Ministers’ Good Work "I had a severe attack of billious colic, . got a bottle of Chambei laia’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," say Rev. A. A. Power, ot Emporia, Kan. “My neighbor across the sireet was sick for 1 over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without re- | lief, then called in another doctor who treated him for days and gave him 115/ relief, so discharged him. 1 went over to see him next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody rtmt. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diahrrhoea Remedy and he said, 'Na' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen minutes if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."
