Washington Letter. Washington democrats are preparing to give Mr. Bryan'a rousing reception when he passes through, on his way to Baltimore, tomorrow, and at least one thousand of them will* accompany him on a special train to . Baltimore and take part in the^meetings he will address Jin that city. If enthusiasm and confidence will win, the democrats will certainly do so. In * no campaign during the past twentyfive years have they been more enthusiastic or more confident of victory; they feel that the imperialists are on the run and that in spite of the trust-contributed fund of unlimited amount that is being lavishly used against them, the plain people will rise in their might and elect Bryan and Stevenson. They know' that inNtimidation of all sorts is being used to* whip the men who work for wages into fi*^e for McKinley and imperialism; buflhey know also that these voters have Nn the .secret ballot a weapon which they can use if they have the courage of their convictions, as they are believed to have, to defeat their

intimidators. > Mr. McKinley is needed in Ohio to help the republican bosses hold that state in line, and he left for Canton today, and ^will practically manage the rest of the republican campaign in Ohio. He professes confidence in his election, but his acts indicate that he has grave doubts. News from Mr. Bryan’s trip through New York has been discouraging to him and he is afraid that he may lose the state. He talked this over with Mr. Roosevelt, who has now gone back to New York, but he has no confidence in Teddy’s ability to help him any in that state, because he knows that Teddy is not in touch with the Platt machine, and that the cowboy method of campaigning isn't popular in the Empire state. The exigencies of the campaign caused a break in the rule recently made by Mr. McKinley against the | simultaneous absence from Washing-! ton of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of War. Saturday was the^ last day of registration in New York, and Secretary Root was told by Mr. McKinley to go and register as his vote might be needed. Assistant; r Secretary Meiklejohn is on the stump | in Nebraska. Consequently (General Miles was Acting Secretary of War a few days. * This is the way the big Bryan meet-! ing in New York City impressed a1 New York republican who attended j it. and who is now in Washington: i ‘‘Bryan’s visit to New York was timely, and if the republican managers in ■ that state do pot wake up and coun-1 teract the effects of that meeting1 there will be something doing next j month. 1 was at Madison Square Garden. I was also at the Chicago convention which Bryan stampeded in 181R>. In a crowd of people the appearance of Bryan is like dvnamith. There is no describing the wonderful effect that the personality of this man has upon the people. Republicans can j shy what they please, he wears. Those I who have been within sound of his j voice are won over to him In spite of former opinions. I am a republican, but L want to say that I, like thousands of others who heard him, left Madison Square Garden doing some serious thinking.” The gentleman who did this plain talking is Mr. j Charles Faret. Although it is now acknowledged that the alleged imperial Chinese decree ordering the degradation and punishment of Prince Tuan and other high Chinese officials for aiding the Boxers in their attack on foreigners was a fake document, Mr. McKinley and Secretary Hay. continue to hobnob with the Chinese minister, and their understrappers to assert that the administration is perfectly satisfied of the good faith of the Chinese government. If that be really true, the administration is almighty easy to satisfy. It is well known that the same satisfaction is not expressed by any other governments, except Rus- * sia, which has long been understood *.7’:*to control the Empress Dowager and V'V; ki Hung Chang, and by France, which ' is merely playing the rol^of ‘‘me too” to' Russia. Americans will wake up some fine morning and discover that Mr. McKinley is also Russia’s ‘‘me too.” The administration was greatly surprised by the official announcement that Germany and England had formed an alliance for the purpose of acting together in the settlement of the Chinese difficulties. The first intimation that this government had of such an alliance was the publication of its tetms in the newspapers, which was quite a slight to the amateur imperialists from the two bisr nrofes

sionals. A republican scheme to carry Virginia was unearthed just in time to put the democrats of the state on their guard. While pretending that they were making no effort to carry Virginia, it was discovered that Hanna had sent a lot of money into the state for the purpose of getting all t.ue republicans registered, while • democrats, from a feeling of security were neglecting to register. Fortunately, the scheme was discovered , in time for the democrats to get their voters registered. Gov. Sayers, of Texas, is in Washington for the purpose of collecting from the National Government, under an act of quoxa of volunteers iu the 1 war with Spain. <

Question Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendictis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They usejd August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver., stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is npthing serious the matter with you. Get Green’s Prize Almanac. Otwell Items. J.

No man is ?ood enough to govern another man without that other’s consent. When the white man governs himself that is self-government; but when he governs himself and also governs another man-then that if more than self-gov-jrnment—that is despotism.

(June 13, 1863, Letter to Corning— i Barrett, p. 632.) The man who stands | oy and says nothing when the peril of | lis government is discussed cannot be j nisunderstood. If not hindered, he is | sure to help the enemy; much more, i f he talks ambiguously—talks for his j ;ountry with “buts and ifs^d ands.” ’ (December 6. 1864, xLrfnual Message —Raymond, p. 629.) It seems quite ;lear that the treasury cannot be suc;essfully conducted unless the governnent can exercise a restraining power >ver the bank-note circulation of the :ountry.

Roosevelt's Opinion of Laboringmen On page 283 of the September, 1886, issue of Reviews. Theodore Roosevelt, in discussing the American union workingman, made the following statement: “The men who object TO WHAT THEY STYLE ‘GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION’ are, as regards the essential principles of government, in hearty sympathy with their remote SKIN-CLAD ANCESTORS WHO LIVED 1IN CAVES, FOUGHT ONE ANOTHER WITH STONE-HEADED AXES. AND ATE THE MAMMOTH AND WOOLY RHINOCEROS* “They are interesting as representing a geological survival, but they are Dangerous whenever there is the least chance of their making the principles of this ages-buried past living factors in our present life. “They are not ln sympathy with MEN OF GOOD MINDS AND SOUND CIVIC MORALITY.” He Fooled the Surgeons. All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of West Jefferson, O., after suffering 18 months *from rectal fistula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured himself with five boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, the surest pile cure on earth, and the best salve in the world. 25 cents a box.
