The lawyer began at om e to cvplain terms, but the tiller of the prairie, who prided himself not a little upon his legal knowledge, only frcw aagrjr. "I want a holograph will." lie declared; "and I'm goinjr to have it." he add. d. in parenthesis. When the impo--ibility of his request was Btftl pointed out he angrily -lumped from the oftice, shouting out : "Hang it! If I can't have a holograph will. I'll blamed well die ititciinr." Almost as funny was the tradesman who hud recently been left some land. He came to the lawyer with instructions fcr a deed of transfer to be prepared in favor of himself. On being asked his reasons, he gave them thus: "Don't feel sort of comfortable about that bit of country. I know how particular you lawyer gents are. and I thought, may be t hat if 1 signed a deed making over th- property to myself
I no one would 1m- able to touch it "
When his application whs refused, he went away in a rage, and subsequently tried to bring an action against the lawyer, who. he iinatined. was trying to defraud him. ( ..nihil! Magaine.

Congressman L. nt.. of Ohio, and William J. Brjaa on the leaning issues before the people. Mr. Ilryan said: "The democracy of the nation 1 still defending Jeffersonlan principles with Jaik sonlan courage and has no thought of deI irtlng irom the prlnclpl.s enunciated at fhicajro In is;; That platform will live In history and the hour of Its adoption will tie remembered as the hour when ihe Bttaay changers were driven from the democratic temple. There- will be no turning back. Tfc platform will be addei to as n w conditions force new Issues into the arena of politics, but nothing will be subtract! d from it. Kvents have vlndlcaod every position taken by the platform Arbitration was advocated in that platform, and arbitration is stronger today than It was in 1. "Thai platform Bt nounced government by injunction and the sentiment against government by Injunction Is Increasing. That platform denounced the trusts and Beels red thSSt to be a menace: that mensc is greater to-day than ever before. That platform warned the people that a conspiracy was on foot to give to the national banks a monopoly of the Issue and supply of paper mon.y; that conspiracy Is now known lo tv.ryone. "That platform denounced International Bimetallism as a delusion and a enare. and Its condemnation has been Justified That platform pointed 10 independent free colnsge as the only mtans of restoring ihe oouliie standard Who doubts it now? That platform nanv d sixteen to one as the proper ratio, and that ratio stands to-day as the only ratio at which blSMtsUlSsa Is possible. "Other platforms have been forgotten, but that platform Is fr. sh In the m morv f frit fat and foe. because ii was clear and pSSl tlVt upon every public question.

Some who opposed the platform In ISsS hsve promlud to return to the party on condition that the party will drop the money questlct and confine the fight to the trusts. Th-- offer will not be accepted. What confidence would the people have In our sincerity If we should declare against trusts I,, general but enter Into a treaty of peace with the greatest of all trusts the money rust? If we should attempt to center tiie fight upon the trusts the republicans would adopt as s'rong an antitrust piank as we, because no party wol J Care to defend the trusts in such a fight the magnates would be found supporting b :h parties and contributing liberally to both campaign funds, provided the trusts Were guaranteed the privilege of naming the attorney-general and the judges The trusts opposed the democratic party in Ksi because the Chicago convention took the party out of the hands of the Wall street crowd and adopted a platform which precipitated the plutocracy which the party had held In solution for several years. "The gold democrats had a chance to crush out the trusts during Mr. Cleveland's administration, but they did not do It. The gold r publicans are- having their opportunity now. but they are not Im
proving it. The trusts will fall when the gold standard Is overthrown, snd not until then.
