THE SAME OLD BRYAN. y-v i x . . a . . unce u was me money question; now it is ' snail tne people rule?, or "What shall we do to predatory wealth?" It is the same Bryan. In In 1S90 Bryan sought to stir up the people of the country by the same ap peal to class distinction and the ar raignment of all business Interests because they were business Interests. That the cure all of 18 to 1 was repudiated has not made any difference. 1 It is the same demagogic appeal. Pick out a few luxuries and a few abuses and hurl vigorous epithets at them, stir up discontent, promise anything, and any man caa gain an audience. This has always been the sphere of the demagogue and always will be. The demagogue aims at destruction anything to win. In his irresponsibility he would not stop at tho annihilation of business, but he would tear down the foundations of organized government. Anything he can do to make a misunderstanding is meat for his cause. And so it goes until we are hurled into financial and governmental distress all to satisfy the inordinate greed for office of one man. Bryan's remarks in his speech of notification did not bear the true ring of honesty. The man who distorts facts to make his point is far more danger ous than any other. It is to be borne In mind always that If there ever was a time in our national history when luc Buiuiuistiaiiuu ul lue uiinus ui the nation was honest and fearless; when the whole of the legal department of the government was ever act ive In the fight against those who sought not only to disobey, but evade 4ia low it van in 4K jfmnl,tMfiAn of Theodore Roosevelt And Mr. Bryan comes before the people of the United States and would make them

believe that the whole republican party throughout its administration was corrupt. Is that a perversion of facts or not? Bryan's talk about the "Divine Law of Rewards" is a pretty poor thfng to talk about to any man who te not a pauper, a socialist, or a visionary. The United States has seen too many men start out as poor young men from the farm or the city and become successful without any dependence on a Divine Law of Rewards. As a man in the west wrote to a paper describing how he had started out with nothing in his pocket and had built up his business: "Trust in God, but answer your own prayer in the sweat of your brow, and get a gasoline move on you." It is not the policy of man to put material and worldly success at the door of spiritual things. Such a doctrine 6avors of cheap and bad taste. It is the speech of the demagogue the same old Bryan we had in 1893.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE. "All idea of connecting Europe with America by lines extending directly across the Atlantic is utterly impracticable and absurd. But by way of Bering Straits the whole thing is practicable and its ultimate accomplishment is merely a question of time. "So wrote Alexander Jones, the author of the History of the Electric Telegraph in 1852. How vain is prophecy! The author thought he was well within the bounds of reason. But in 1858 on the sixteenth day of August the first cablegram was sent across the Atlantic ocean. There is no chapter in the history of invention and modern enterprise which is so full of romance as the laying of the first cable. The many discouragements, the insurmountable difficulties, the unflagging enterprise, the breaking of the cable on the eve of success and the final completion in 18G6 have made a record beside which the mere work of exploration of a country is a mere nothing. Cyrus Field and his courage is dissapatlng an entire fortune in this project assume the size of heroic proportions when his life is examined. There is little need to pause to consider what the cable means to modern business. It is a commonplace that the railroad, the steam boat, the cable and the telegraph have made the world a much smaller thing. But it has only been1 fifty years age today since Queen, Victoria sent her message to President Buchanan. Today the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Straits Settlements are entangled with the snaky cable. It is the thing that makes huge empires possible. It is well to note that Bering Strait is as yet given over to sealers and despite the prophecy of 1852 is still without the cable which Mr. Alexan der Jones then thought so much more feasible than tha Atlantic cable. Today there are 247,888 miles of cable, 207,000 of which are owned by corporation, the rest are the property of governments. Although wireless telegraphy and telephony are making rapid progress, the cable still holds its own as it has for the last fifty- years. Fifty years ago on August 9, the New York Herald said: "The cable is laid and now the most honored name in all the land is that of Cyrus Field. Bells are rung and guns are fired and buildings are illuminated throughout the land in his honor. The nation is proud of him, the world knows him and all mankind is his debtor." BRONSON HOWARD. The death of Bronson Howard last week took away what many of our fellow countrymen were pleased to call the Dean of American dramatists. It were better to call Bronson Howard the first of American playwrights. By this is no disrespect it Is an honor which he would rather have borne. At the time that Bronson Howard commenced his career the American stage was overgrown with adaptations of European plays. It was more merit to have it said of a play that it was a translation from the French than to say that it was a typically national production. It is significant that How ard was the first man to have his plays translated into other languages and he was the first man to create a demand in his own country for native plays. It is in the production and popularization of plays that are American that Bronson Howard has performed his most conspicuous service. As a rule his characters seldom en ter Into the graver racial or social problems which now are so numerous on the stage. There was in them al ways a faithful representation of mod ern life and circumstances which had no deeper intent than monetary inter est and entertainmenet. In his artist ry and artifice Mr. Howard was a mas ter and therefore his plays always "acted well." His "Saratoga," and "Banker s Daughter," are types of his earliest successes. His most success ful and artistic play was "Old Love Letters", but his fame as a solid hand ler of real drama must depend on "Aristocracy." If Howard's abilities were not of the highest order at least he should

be given the credit of founding a national group of playwrights if he did nothing else than to create a demand for genuine American work on the stage in ' this country, he would deserve the thanks of all Americans for freeing us from the bane of foreign plays hashed and warmed over for our delectation.

SAN KEY. A figure of much international note passes in the death of Ira Sankey, the great singing evangelist. He and Dwlght Moody stirred the world as no other two men have stirred it in the evangelical way before. They had the spirit and fervor which is necessary to all successful work of that kind. But above all they had the knack of getting next to the plain people. As a composer of gospel hymns Sankey was a great success and many of them became classics at the first recitals as witness his "Nicety and Nine" and "When the Mists have rolled away." His songs, it is said, had a circulation of over 50,000,000 copies and the great effect that they had In the famous meetings that they held is so marvelous that many converts were made after one hymn had been sung by the welling chorus that Sankey led in person. Sankey's own voice is said to have been so rich and sweet and full of religious ferver that people wept at the sound. The recent experiments which psychologists have made In the department of music in its effect on the emotional life of man bear out the wonderful stories which are told of this famous man. It is not too much to say that Moody would have had only a partial success without the help of Ira Sankey. WISE AND OTHERWISE. UNUSUAL MEETING PLACE.

Accoringly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and far tale by all leading druggist.

HUSBANDS' CRIMES

T SOCIETY Desertions Are Increasing And Action Should Be Taken. MRS. LOGAN'S VIEWS. OFFENDERS AGAINST DECENCY ARE NOT OSTRACISED, BUT ARE TREATED WITH LENIENCY, FAMOUS WOMAN SAYS. By Mrs. John A. Logan. Washington, Aug. 15. One is shock ed beyond measure at the innumerable cases of unfaithfulness on the part of husbands who have hitherto been reckoned among honorable members of society. A recent instance, if the newspaper reports be true, is especial ly sad. A member of a prominent Phil adelphia family married a beautiful young woman eight or ten years ago. Two children are the fruit of this un ion. There has not been a breath of scandal against this lovely wife and mother. Now it is stated that the husband has become enamored of an other woman that he deliberately proposes to settle $KK),0uO upon the moth er of his children and give her one of the children if she will take up a resi dence in North Dakota long enough to obtain a divorce from him cjid leave him free to marry tho woman who has robbed him of every sense of decency and honor. The fact that the wile has gone to North Dakota to live for the time being would indicate that the report is correct. If it is true this wronged wife has made a mistake. ' No woman, so be trayed and abandoned without provo cation on her part, should for one moment consent to anything that carried with it freedom to her faithless husband. This is tho one weapon she has for her defense, and she should hold fast to that for her own and her children's sake, and she might eventually see her husband recover his senses and witness his keen remorse for his cruelty. Such examples of infidelity by persons in high places have been followed by others in the lower walks of life. It seems worse for men who find it difficult to make comfortable provision for his lawful family to undertake to gratify the wicked caprices of sirens, who have beguiled them from the path of rectitiude and honor. The wives of such men have usually been loyally devoted to their husbands and children, self-denying and economic in their domestic affairs, accepting their fate with cheerful resignation, rarely knowing for a long time that their husbands were leading dual lives. That which is the most astonishins in such cases is that men of intelli gence and self respect can bo attracted by women of the character they must be who would c.ttempt to wean them from their families. And yet, when they are exposed they talk with perfect effrontery of their escapades and of the "outrage" of anyone Interfering with their "private business," affirming that their relctoinc are based upon the love they have for each other boldly declaring that when they are freed from the matrimonia' bonds which forbid them to commit bigamy they will hasten to be married. Take the late case of one Hobson When caught in New York with Mrs. Pyle, the wife of another Washington man, he is reported to have said: "Mrs. Pyle and I found we cared for each other some time ago, and co -when I was forced to tc.ke this little business trip, she came with me. We had both left our homes before we met each other, and we didn't consider either her husband or my wife as acy hindrance to our happiness." Mrs. Pyle was indignant because her trip to New York was referred to in the newspapers as a lark. "There's no lark about it," she declared. "This is the most interesting and important event of my life and upon the outcome depends my future happiness." An interview with the abandoned wife of Hobson revealed the fact that she and her two littla children under five years of age had not known of the husband's whereabouts for weeks, or received a cent from him for thejr support. Instead of such offenders r.gainst society being ostracised, tney are treated with leniency and many excuses ere made for them, and in all too many instances the inoffensive wives and husbands are accused of, all kinds of inhumanity and heartlcssness. It is incomprehensible that the authorities are loth to punish theso violators of the laws of the sacred institution of marriage which is the foundation of morality and the most holy relation ot life. Nine times out of ten the unhappy abandoned partners ere unable to get any kind of rceress and are left to spend the remainder of their days in melancholy reveries over the sacri fice of the best of their lives upon tlie altar of matrimony. SISTERS WORK FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE Start Campaign for Innovation In Washington. Seattle. Aug. 15. Four Seattle girls, sisters, have started the active campaign for woman suffrage In this state by means of which it is hoped to prevail upon the Legislature next winter to give the electors an opportunity of voting on the question of establishing equality of the sexes of the polls. The girls are Helen, Louise, tikwtrad and Lucy Kangley.

Copyright. 1906. by (Continued From Friday.) CHAPTER XXIII. EEAT was the disappointment of Major March and bis men when they found that neither Aguinaldo nor rilar had fallen into their hailds. Although they had come just In time to prevent the complete annihilation of the little company, the leaders had escaped with the remnant of their surprised forces. Scores of Filipinos were captured, dozens were killed and wounded. Eight of the dashing scouts who went out with Jerry Connell gave up their lives In exchange for the final victory. A small guard was left at the convent to care for the wounded, the bulk of the command hurrying off at dawn to search for the routed Filipinos. Graydon Bansemer was put In charge of the convent guard". A surgeon and the application of "first aid to the injured" principles soon transformed the convent Into a well arranged hospital. Uncle Sam's benevolence was also cheerfully extended to the wounded Filipinos. The days of the "water cure" and "ungodly butchery" had not yet come. Young Velasquez died soon after daybreak. He had been dying for days. His sister's grief was pathetic In the extreme aye. demoralizing, for it struck deep into the hearts of soldiers who had scoffed at the lifeblood of man, but could not brave the tears of a woman. Bansemer did all In his power to comfort' and console her. It was to him that she clung In her despair. He had been her captor, and yet It had been he who stood forth in his might to defend her and the loved one who was dead. At nightfall the dead were buried in that faroff wilderness, their humble graves marked and recorded before the "time when the government could come to give' other graves in other lands to these who had given their lives. Velasquez was laid beside the Americans. Teresa, a shivering, sobbing little figure in the garb of an insurgent soldier, was supported by big Graydon Bansemer. There was no service except the short army ritual; there was no priest or pastor; there was but one real mourner a pretty, heart broken girl who lay for hours beside the rude mound on the hillside. Word came back at nightfall that i the detachments were to form a junc tion at one of the big villages westward in two days. The Instructions were that the wounded Filipinos should be left In the village, where native women and doctors would care for them. "What in thunder are we to do with the girl?" was the question that came from the officer in command. More than one man scratched his head thoughtfully and looked toward the disturbing element that had come Into the army. She was sitting alone and disconsolate in front of the church. "There's no way to send her back to her friends, and we can't leave her here," said Bansemer. "But. gee whiz! We can't take her on a hike like this." protested the sergeant "She'll be In the way. and she'll give out. and all that Besides, what would we do with, a woman around all the time?" "I fancy she can hike all right. said Graydon. "Major March wouldn't expect us to leave her behind. That would be heartless." By the time the party and guides were ready to start on their forced march the opinion unanimously expressed was that Teresa Velasquez should s.o forward also, come what might. She had pleaded so hard and so effectually tict tho men .were fairly, twept ck

"And when we get up to the command we'll make them derned correspondents take turn about walkln', so she can ride a pony all the time. They've got no business rldln anyhow." And so with rosy confidence In the fitness of things and a just belief In the charity of Major March, the detachment marched out into the hills, the ward of the company trudging bravely beside the tall and envied Mr. Bansemer, who, by the way, aside from being politely attentive, did not exhibit any undue signs of exaltation. The presence of a woman and a very pretty one at that, with a sadness in her eyes that was appealingserved only to Bend his thoughts bounding back to the girl he had left behind. He grew more and more morose and silent as the day wore on. At times the tired, lonely girl at his side lagged and cast wondering, piteous glances at him. Her woman's intuition told her that this man did not belong where he was. It told her also that he had a secret and that one of her sex was deeply involved. The events of the next two weeks are of small consequence in this narrative, which deals not so much with the history and mystery of the campaign in the fall of '00 as with the welfare and emotions of a single soldier at the front Aguinaldo and rilar had become refugees by this time, hunted and hounded from place to place with relentless fervor. Filar was somewhere In the hills with his men. the pride of the Insurgent forces; Agulnaldo's remnant had scurried off in another direction, and General Tono was on the coast with what was left of the scattered force. The net about Gregorio del Filar was being drawn In and tightened. The closing week in November saw him driven to the last extremity. The tragedy of Tilad pass was near at hand. Teresa Velasquez never faltered, never tired. She proved herself to be no incumbrance. Day after day the officer in command expected the expedition which would take her back to Manila. Forces came up from the south, but none were ready to go back. She was an inspiration to the camp. Men who had forgotten their manners completely brushed them up and danced attendance upon the girl in the Filipino uniform. Every man prayed for opportunity to do brave deeds, and when chance came she was permitted to witness heroism that savored of the boyhood malady known as "showing off." The reserved but considerate Banse mer was her closest friend and confi dant One evening as they sat side by side watching the preparations for supper she turned suddenly and announced that she knew he was dying cf love for so rue one. He started, and his hand trembled. "Tell me about her," she commanded. There was a piquancy, a gay impelling force in this girl that grief and hardship bad not been strong enough to conquer. "Nonsense!" said Graydon. "Why do you think that of me?" ' "Because everybody else thinks it," she said, "and because I am a very wise ierson. The men are not so charitable as I, senor. They say that joa joined the army because of some woman whom you could not marry. I agree with them, except that it is she who would not marry you. Forgive me if I have hurt you?" Impulsively she put her hand upon his, her dark eyes full of pleading. The touch cf Ler hand did not send a thrill through him. Such contact, however, caused the bloo-l to tiEgie ia the quif k veins of the girl. He merely sat and stared Into space. After a moment she drew her hand away. "I am sorry," she said. "There is a girl, Teresa," te said afcottlr. !

'By George Barr NcCutcheon Author of "Beverly of GraastarlV Etc "Yes, I know. Tell me about her." "I can't." he exclaimed bitterly. n arose and walked quickly away. Teresa's dark eyes followed him In pity and wonder aye, affection. Then she shook her head sadly and turned her attention elsewhere not piqued, much to her own amazement. Re-enforcements came op two daya later with the word that the command er In chief expected the campaign against Filar to end within a week and that hard fighting was ahead. The lied Cross people were following bard upon the heels of the regiment, and field hospitals were to be established. Every man in the band of newcomers was singing the praises of a wonderfully beautiful Bed Cross nurse. The stories told of her charms were varied, but none lacked enthusiasm. Some ss!d she was the daughter of a rich magnate come to do service In the cause of humanity; others were sure she was a great and beautiful actress who was sacrificing everything to conspicuous advertising. All, however, were agreed in the praise of ber noble, beauty. f The little detachment on guard turned up ita collective nose and proudly pointed to Teresa Velasquez. "Look at that" said Bob Spurrier. "Can she stack up with the hiking queen? Our girl Is real quality. She'a no common American. She'a a grandee's daughter. There's royal blood la her. By thunder, gentlemen, she'a blood kin to little Alfonso." Teresa sought shelter from the curious though admiring eyes of the fresh arrivals. "I don't like these new soldiers," she complained to Graydon. I wish they bad not come. They talk of this beautiful nurse, and they laugh at me. Oh. I wish I had something else to wear." "Don't worry, little girl; you're worth ten nurses." said he. "Alas, though I am dressed as a man. I do not feel as bold as one." she lamented. The next day re-en force m en ta came up, and the whole command advanced upon Tilad pass, where Pilar, at last, had been cornered. On the 2d of December a desperate conflict took place. Filar was Intrenched in the pass near the celebrated rock known as El Obispo, "the Bishop." His resistance for a time was valorous and deadly. Corporal Parry saw him mount his horse behind the barricade COO jards away. Parry wes the best marksman ia the regiment and, turning to Lis chief officer, asked if be should take a shot at him. He fired, and rilar fell, face downward, and the Americans crushed the little band of Insurgents. Gregorio del Pilar was dead. His death ia the great hills, after a most courageous battle igalnst an overwhelming force, brought to an end a life that would have bees worth much to the Inlands la after years. In his pockets were found valuable papers. letters and keepsakes. The letters were from his sweetheart, Dolores Jose, who lived fit Dagupan, and they were tender In the extreme. Her lace handkerchief rested over hi heart When the Americans, victorious and jubilant, fell back to camp, they bad no small n-jmber of woended to turn over !o the tender mercies of the little com;any of lied Cross curses and the surgeons. One of the most dangerously Injured was Graydon Bansemer. ITe was one t the first to cross the danger line. A Manser bail from a distant bill tore through his aide, leaving an ugly, gaping wound that foretold certain death.
