III TE LEAD that is made by quick or patent process is like a hothouse plant that will not stand exposure to the weather. It is only

White Lead made by the 44 old Dutch process " of slow corrosion that combines in itself all the elements needed to make a perfect paint the honest, oldfashioned kind that lasts. The " Eckstein" or " DavisChambers" Brand of Pure White Lead is genuine 44 old Dutch process," and when tinted with the National Lead Company's Pure White Lead Tinting Colors, produces a paint that is far superior in appearance and durability to epiick process White Lead or any ready-mixed paint.

Mr. James Creelman has announced that Bryan will carry New York by 37,000. Don't complain about the price of fruit. Apples are a dollar a dozen in Alaska.

It is clear that the apathy, of which we hear so much, is, as far as Vermont is concerned, confined to the republicans. The republican vote, as it now appears, has fallen off 10 per cent., while the democratic vot has increased iC percent. And right here is the danger that threatens the republicans. Such democratic gains and republican losses in closer states would be fatal. If the conditions that have prevailed in Vermont should develop in Indiana, the democrats would carry the state by a large plurality. Indianapolis News, And still they come. Hon. Chas. Reeve, of Plymouth, who so bitterly opposed Bryan four years ago, announces that he will work and vote for Bryan. Also Joseph G. Orr, of South Bend, district chairman of the gold democrats, four years ago, advises the democratic state committee that he is ready for any duty in behalf of Bryan and democracy which may be assigned to him. With the exception of the few gold democrats who have been given favors by the republican officials, democrats are all in line for Bryan and victory. Rochester Sentinel. The Columbia City Post, thus declares itself: The question of making the terms of the state ofli cers four years is again receiving attention in this state. The Post is in favor of the proposition. It is also in favor of extending the term of all the members of the house of representatives from two to four years and all county officers for a like period. There is certainly no very good reason why a treasurer cr sheriff should be elected for two years while an auditor or clerk is elected for four years, and it would be only just to place all county officers on an equality in this respect. The prohibition state committee is depending much on the power of literature to largely increase the party's vote in November. Thousands of leaflets are being sent out from the office of State Chairman H. J. Hall, at Franklin. Gen.Corbin recently came out in a letter supporting the army canteen as a temperance measure, and to offset this the committee is circulating leaflets quoting Generals Miles, Shafter and Wheeler to prove that the canteen is a curse to the army. But the point upon which the prohibitionists lay strongest emphasis is the fact that a law prohibiting the canteen, which was passed by the last congress, was nullified by a de. cision of Attorney General Griggs. SHERMAN ON IMl'KRIALIS.W. lohn Sherman, former secretary of state in President McKmley's cabinet, in a recent interview said: "The wealth we are taking out of ur own countiy now to fling after

those Philippine islands is fabulous. We have taken away the miners and agriculturists to subdue the Filipino natives. Depend upon it, the other nations do not envy us, but think us foolish. "I see not the slightest sense in our long excursion to the Philippine islands, 12,000 miles away. There we have no acquaintances or affinities, or anything which gives promise of a happy solution of a most foolish undertaking. The natives show that they do not want us by the courage with which they fight us. I fear that perseverance in this imperial policy will ruin the Republican party."

M It. OLNEY'S I.KTTEK. undoubtedly the severest blow that has been given to the republican party in the present campaign is the pronouncement of Mr. OIney in favor of democratic success. Certain it is that Mr. Olney's reversion to the democracy will have a wide influence. Mr. OIney was the strongest man in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. Four years ago, with the rest of Mr. Cleveland's entourage, he could not see his way clear to voting for Mr. Bryan on the silver issue, and frankly announced that he would vote for McKinley. Following the Vermont election, his defection is almost enough to make the republican leaders anxiously inquire whether Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island can be relied on as sure republican states. But it is not merely in New England that Mr. Olnev's attitude will be influential. Throughout all this section there is a very large gold democrat and independent element that will seriously consider what he has to say, and be inclined to think that he must have had some strong assurance that the election of Mr. Bryan will not mean free silver before he would have consented to make a public statement. Indianapolis Press.

OIney Uivt-s His IUümiii. Richard OIney, secretary of state during the Cleveland administration, declares his intention of supporting Mr. Bryan. Mr. OIney sayB: "It is only necessary to cocsider what McKinleyism stands for what it will mean if the American people now solemnly record themselves as approving the McKinley administration and all its work. "1. It will mean that the American people sanction a syndicated presidency. "2. That the people approve such legislation as the Dingley tanil bill, with all its devices for taxing the great mass of the people in exoneration of accumulated wealth. "3. That the people uphold the policy of greed and contempt for alien peoples. "4 and 5. That the people approve the tactless and brutal policy in the Philippines, while Cuba, the cause and inspiration of the war, is declared alien territory and entitled to all the rights of an independent sovereignty. "6. That the people approve an abdication of the functions by the national legislature. "7. That the people approve of a national executive who fails to uphold the dignity and independence of his great oflice and who exercises its functions in the government and to other branches of special pecuniary interests. "8. It will mean that the people indorse the policy by which the United States sets up its business as an Asiatic power and welcome the large standing armies and naval forces. "9. It will mean that the American people either do not see, or seeing, approve the great and growing if not ai ready overwhelming inlluence of money in our politics. Our government was not conceived or framed as a moneymaking machine, even for the profit of all the governed, much less for the profit of particular classes or portions of the governed." In commenting on predicted panics, put out as a possible consequence of democratic success, Mr. OIney says: "Stock exchange panics are often made to order by those who know how to profit by such caprices as the market may indulge in." In concluding, Mr. OIney says: "For myself, therefore, I find it clear that a citizen's duty in connection with the coming presidential election not only permits, but requires him to desire the success of the democratic party."

A Scene of Minery. The horrors of battle were brought vividly home to a score or more of spectators at the Pennsylvania station Sunday afternoon, when two car loads of emaciated young men stopped there for dinner. They were United States soldiers from the Philippines, on their way home, having landed at San Francisco two weeks ago, and were taking the Pennsylvania route for Washington, D. C. A story of hardship and suffering was told on every face, though some appeared to be in apparently good health. One poor fellow was taken from the train at Chicago and placed in a hospital because he could not stand the journey. Another was lying at the point of death, suffering from a bullet wound in the abdomen, but would not leave the train because he wanted to arrive home and see his family before he dies. Several were unable to leave the cars and their meals were taken to them, but the greater part were able to go into the dining room of the McKinnie house. Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. First l'reclnrt lu Formed. The democrats of the First precinct met at the Democratic club room Saturday night and organized with Daniel McDonald as chairman and Mr. Trowbridge, secretary. The pollyphone reproduced some orchestra music and the prayer which opened the Kansas City convention. Mr. McDonald then explained the object of the club and introduced Attv. S. N.Stevens, who made a short address upon the paramount issue of the campaign. The pollyphone also reproduced extracts from Bryan's speeches. There were thirty-five names enrolled as members of the First precinct club and nearly as many added to the roll of the other precincts.

Ilrjriii Can't Com 1 lern Now, Plymouth democrats were unsuccessful In getting Col. Bryan here this week as was expected but the national committee has promised him during the campaign. A telegram to Committee man Kruyer states that Mr. Bryan retains Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week for himself, which he will use in writing his letter of acceptance and two other speeches.

Conrrrriirn lnrorioratnl. The Northwest Indiana Conference of the M. E. church filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state Saturday. The principal ollice is to be at Lafayette. The trustees for the iiret year are W. P. McKinsey, W. II. Hickman, D. M. Wood, II. N. Ogden, J. V. Kent, (J. F. Kelper and J. M. Kelsey.

HitiKat yi iiiUter'M it mimI Kffu- tu .Harry Her l.oter. William 11 awes and Miss Mayn.e IJhine, aged twenty-two and nineteen years respectively, eloped from Ktna Green and went to Laporte, with the avowed intention of getting married, but returned to their homes late at night still only lovers. The couple arrived in Laporte early in the forenoon and iinmediitely applied to the county clerk for a marriage license. They were the best dressed couple that hap entert d the clerk's ollice for many a day. The would-be groom admitted to the clerk that they wished to marry against the wishes of the girl's mother, but eo long as the two were of age they thought they had a rigit to do so. Tbe license was granted and the young man ask d tt be shown to the nearest minister, but here the girl interposed and suggested that they first look over the city. The two strolled along the streets and finally brought up at thehomeof the Methodist Episcopal minister. The young man started to lead the way to the door, but the girl grasped his arm and held him back refusing to go any further. The young lady eaid ehe had studied over the matter and would not marry without the consent of her mother. Hawes pleaded, but all in vain. The girl was firm. They returned to their homes that night remaining single.

Cleveland May Follow. The New York Herald says: "Wall street men heard a persistant report Thursday (last week) that former President Grover Cleveland will give his support to William J. Bryan in the campaign. It was 6aid that persons who have been confidants of Mr. Cleveland were responsible for it. "According to this report Mr. Cleveland, who has heretofore declined to make known his preference, will give out for publication within a week an open letter declaring the issue of imperialism paramount, and asking his friends to support Bryan.

Sow Wheat I. ate. "Wheat will be sown late this fall," says John B. Conner, state statistician. "This will be done to escape the lly. Much of it will be sown the latter part of October. I have heard of a case or two where wheat sown in November did well. The experiment station at Purdue is advising that a decoy strip be sown around the field early to gather the fly to destroy it, then sow the wheat for the crop later."

Fourth I'reeinet Organized. The democrats of the Fourth precinct met at the Democratic club room Friday evening and organized a Bryan and Stevenson club, with Adam Vinnedge chairman; Andy Molter, vice chairman, and Frank Hammond, secretary. Over fifty names were added to tbe club membership. C. W. Metsker then delivered an address upon the issues of the campaign.
