The implacable spirit manifested by the reorganizers toward William J. Bryan and William R. Hearst would be less objectionable if it were not that both these men have been following the irresistible logic of Democratic methods methods that the Democratic party has been applying in every campaign for fifty years. This befan with the denunciation of Lin coin and his administration and has been continued ever since. The Democratic advocates of every persuasion have breathed threatening and slaughter on the tripod and on the platform, until the unthinking voter in many an instances has been led to believe that every prominent Republican is necessarily a scoundrel, and not only this, but that every Republican administration has been in league with the powers of darkness to take away the rights of the people. Populism and socialism and similar isms are the natural and inevitable result of this practice. So Bryan simply took up with what" he supposed to be the drift of things when he took up with the populistic notions in the party and gave them expression. It is true that he overestimated the number of populists in the party, but his overestimate was not greater than the underestimate of the reorganizers. And Hearst has simply given bolder expression to the conclusions and the feelings that Democratic campaigning has led to. He pictured McKinley as a monster, while other demagogues insinuated it. His declarations and cartoons simply took the place of orthodox Democratic inuendo. He has simply said what the others meant but were afraid to say. The reorganizers have no reason to complain of him. Yesterday was the day set apart to pay tribute to the memory of the late Senator Hanna. This is not the first time that the members of the upper house have eulogized the life and work of a colleague who has. gone from earth to his reward, but it seldom happens that they are called upon to review the life of one who was many-sided in his mental character and

attainments. He was a patriot ana snowed ms patriotism Dy ennsimg aim serving in the war for the preservation of-the Union. He was a business man and demonstrated his great business capacity by organizing great business enterprises. He was a political leadejj as was shown by his wonderful power as a political leader. He was a senator, wise, prudent, safe and "convincing. He was a friend, faithful and true. No better proof of this than the relations between himself and the late President McKinley. The upper house of Congress has not a single "member who will exactly fit Senator Hanna 's toga. The Democrats of. the city of Richmondnominated for mayor last night, Mr. II. R, Marhatt of 110 norfeixthJtreetAMr. Marlatt is a foreman in one of the divisions of the Gaar , Scott & Co.'s factory and is about fifty years old. : A Democrat who is brave enough to run for mayor in the face of so great a Republican majority," ought to have the unqualified support of all his Democratic brethren., From now until the third of May' will be an opportune time for our neighbor on ninth street to show his colors and be a Democrat for a few weeks. The party in Richmond has a leader now and it ought. to have an organ. We hone our esteemed contemporary will espouse the cause of his party and keen his banner on the outer walls from now until the city election is past. Senator Gorman's speech in the senate , the other, day is interpreted throughout the country as indicating the 'Democratic plan of the next campaign. Having-failed in everything else 'that they have tried to make an issue of, they now propose an attack upon the president. Of course there would be nothing new in this. On the! contrary it is as old as the party that has called itself the Democratic party for the last forty years. This same party called Lincoln every name in the vocabulary of abuse; they charged Grant with an ambition to be military dictator ,and they have pursued a similar course toward every Republican president up to this time, even including McKinley, who is remembered today as one of the most kindly spirits that ever brought a benediction to mankind.

Caesar had his Br utus and Charles 1 his .Cromwell, awful times. It is not so bad now, but Parker has his Hill,, and Bryan has his Philo Bennett Will.

These tickets are on sale at Starr Piano company, Main and tenth streets, water works office, Jones Hardware company and Clara T. Moorraann's book store, 530 Main street. The interest in the festival s rapidly increasing, and the public is betrmning to realize what a treat, is in store for them.

CIRCUS IS (lili

The Great Wallace Show Has Included This City in Its Route. The announcement of the early coming of a big three ring circus and menagerie is alwa3rs of public interest for the present . modern circus is strictly an American institution and it is ione of the few things that keep old age in touch with childhood." Little ones never forget their first circus parade, the first menagerie or circus that it may be their good fortune to see. When grown up they become tired of the oftimes disgusting and wasting sport of adults and welcome with enthusiasm the. visit of the circus which reminds - them of their innocent childhood pleasures. The announcement of the coming of a big circus of the hirh standard of merit and excellence of the great Wal

lace show is welcomed by amusement

lovers. The public has learned that

Mr. Wallace does produce all that he advertises and a great deal more. Those who attend the Wallace show every year, and thousands of people

Ldo, always go expecting to see some

thing new different from the custo

mary circus acts and they are not disappointed. All of the preliminary arrangements, have been made and our citizens, may expect to see a big crowd in Richmond on Tuesday, May 3d, as a show with the excellent reputation of the great Wallace show is sure to be well patronized.

SEC. REPORT Of the Associated Charities for the Year j.03. Another year has been added to the existence of the Associated Charities, and the time has come for the annual balancing of accounts, election of officers, and tabulating of the work which has been entrusted to our hands. We hope that the past year has been fruitful of many blessings and that the labor of the board will leave its impress for good, in years to come. It may be of interest especially to those as yet not familiar with this organization, to know just how it was brought about. The need of systematic co-operation in charity work was felt by many, and emphasized by some of our good citizens, which led to an agitation of the subject, resulting in something tan gible. The Rev. Isam Wooten, pastor of South Eighth Street Friends' church, proposed such an organization embracing the different religious bodies of the city. On November 29, 18S9, representatives from a number of the churches met at the South Eighth Street church and an organization was effected, plans were submitted and

adopted and the work put in force. In due time a city missionary was chosen and in her hands was placed the direct work of the association. Of the charter members but two remain !

in the active work, the others have entered different .fields of labor. New people have become interested in the work of Christian charity, along this line. The society continues to be a child of the Ministerial Association and when this organization cannot

succeed by its own efforts, the par- f ent has come to its resuee with great promptness. During the past I

year repeated efforts have been made to enlist the interest and helping hand of our state legislature in putting upon our statute books a bill making it a crime for parents to neglect and desert their family and punishable as such. This if put in force would in a measure solve the problem which has confronted boards of eharities-up to the present time. Since it is the duty of Christian citizens to see to it that parents are provided with ways to support their families, to wilfully neglect to improve such opportunities should be followed with eompulsory measures. It is a matter of deep regret that we. as a board are not able to furnish'j labor for those who apply for assistance. All that we can do is to provide for the present need. Our finances continue to be a source of great perplexity, . as the demands of the past winter have been exceedingly great and , the income less than in previous years. The Ministerial Association came to our assistance when

last May it secured the services of Mrs. Monroe, who gave the Reformation story and again last fall by joining with Earlham College authorities in the management of the Lecture Course and in both cases turned over all receipts over and above expenses to our treasury, ; Last November and December our annual circular letter was issued, but the responses 011 the part of our good citizens was very limited. Surely the good that can and has been accomplished through this organization

ought to appeal to every heart, so that the work may not go begging for sup-, port. But some may say why so much

about the unfortunate and helpless, showing no spmpathy for such. Friends let us paue and consider circumstances and environments heredities and the like that most of our unfortunate ones have to contend with, then we will not hide ourselves behind our manifold blessings, but will .be ready to ask the question, "What might I have been under such adverse circumstances?" It is to be expected that all who heard Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth will be impressed as never before with the duty we owe to the unfortunate. Both mission schools are growing and give encouragement for good results. We must thank our missionary for her untiring labor as she goes from house to house, caring for the sick and distressed, giving her time and strength for the uplifting and betterment of those with whom she comes in contact. Let us not become discouraged and disheartened, although we have many difficulties to meet but continue to do what our hands find to do, hoping that christian hearts may be moved to extend a helping hand, where so much suffering is to be alleviated and so much work to be done and such a great blessing to be bestowed. "In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto Me." Respectfully submitted, Mrs. J. Beck, Secretary? BEECHYMIRE.

GRIP CONVALESCENCE . There's nothing better than Scott's. Emulsion after the grip. When the fever is gone the body is left weak and exhausted; the nervous system is completely run down and vitality is low. Two things to do: give strength to the whole body and new force to the nerves. Scott's Emulsion will do it; contains just what the wornout system needs. Rich blood, healthy flesh, resistive force, more and better nourishment are what Scott's Emulsion supplies to the convalescent. Scott's Emulsion is the original and has been the standard emulsion of cod liver oil for nearly thirty years. Why buy the new. untried, cheap emulsions or so called wines, cordials and extracts of cod liver oil, when you can buy what is sure to help you? We'll send you a sample free upon request.
