Canse?Trota About the Clayton Eni wer Treaty?Fun on the Stump. [Special Washington Letter.] "Where are we at?" is a question ?amiliar to the ears of men since a celebrated statesman propounded it to the speaker of the house some years ago. "Where are we at:" is a query causing many statesmen to lose sleep, grow baldheaded and become irritable these ho: dog days. "Where are we at?*' is a query whose honest and in telligent answer has a tendency to en courage Democrats to Ik? of good cheer everywhere. I have had extra good opportunities to observe and my conclusion is that the drift is toward Bryan and Democ racy, and it will be remembered that a very small drift will give us the vic tory. While there will be no stampede ' of Republican voters there will be enough, and to spare, of them to land Bryan in the White House. Recently I have been Traveling through Arkansas. Missouri. Kansas and Iowa indul?in;:- in the luxury of ? joint lectures on 'imperialism" with ? Hon. J. P. Dolli ver of Iowa, late candi- I elate for the Republican vice presiden- : Hal nomination, and Hon. G. B. Landis of Indiana. The great Mormon ex- ; terminator at home and Mormon sup porter abroad. It's really a pity about Dolliver. ile is young, handsome, brilliant and am bitious. His friends thought him fit for at least second place. I myself helped his boom along ail I eouid, but Mark nipped it in the bud and foisted Teddy the Terror on the ticket. I mourn for Dol?iver as a bright young man who fell before Mark's snicker snee. As for Landis. he thinks polygamy wrong in Utah, but it is the proper ca per in the Suhl islands. Republic In Danser. But what I started out to say is thai this lecturing business with Dolliver and Landis has taken me over a great deal of territory and brought me into contact with a great many people, and | I conclude that the drift is toward ; Bryan and Democracy. Not only are prominent Republicans I quilting the G. 0. P.?such men as Governor George S. Boutweil <?** Mas- ? sachusetts and Webster Davis of Mis- ; souri and Judge Stiles of Nebraska - j but the "plain people" are breaking] away. At WinftYkh Kan., a veteran of the \ civil war. wearing :: ( i rand Army hut ton in ti:" fctpel of Iiis coat came r:> me ' after the debate and ; aid: " h preach ed the truth today. ?ou were too j young to be in the r : 11 war. bui you are doing now what 1 did then- stand ing: tip for the ;?:? rvatla? of the re- ? publie, i have voted :h Republican j ticket ail my life, but i can't do it any i more. The repuoi: ? is in danger." On the platform a> Atehisort. Ivan.', a ; young mm;, sen of ;: gr< at Iowa law- j yer and Republican, came un and *?:;:?- i diaily greeted Brother I >oIliver. but : made that gentleman sad at heart by ! saying: "Mr. Dolliver. our folks have, j as you know, always been Republic- ? ans. but i can't stand this imperialism. ? and. as Bryan can't do anything with ? Lis l<j to 1 theory. ev< if he is elected, with a hostile senate. 1 am gehe.: to i vote for h:::i." Then. my amaze- ! ment. Do?iiver. after the fashion of a ; drowning man grabbing ar a straw, j said to his young friend: "The tail a-" s j with the hide, if Bryan i< elected, the Democrats will carry both senate and house." Then I took ou: .?. pad <?f paper mu? ! pencil and demonstrated to ili" re- ' pent?nt young Republican that the senate is now Republican by H ma jority: :h::? the very best we could hope for is to gobble five senatorial seats cow held by Republicans: that. ! unless There is a regular tidal wave or ? ?and>!i'h'. we can't capture the senate, : and that the chances were that we ? would gain only four seats, which, ! taking off four from the Republicans j and adding four to our column, would ; stili leave the Republicans six major ity in the s<-mite. Thus Brother Do?iiver and ? wrestled for that wavering vote on the depo: platform ar At -hison. Kan., while waiting for a train, and I prevailed. And so it gees everywhere not a man who supported Bryan in Ie!"; wavering, while . :??!*< of every de gree are quitting the MelTannaites: ' by the millions; bui in squads squads in every nook and corner of the coun try: squads which in the aggregate will givo Bryan from 12J to over TOO majority in th< electoral co'loge. Th?- Coi<] Democrats. . Tie- gold Democrats are also coming into Tiie fold to swell The anti-imperial istic chorus. We are glad to have them back in the house of their fathers. It's the proper place for them indeed for ali who love their eomrry. Webster Davis, as predicted in my last letter, is coming in for a great deal of abuse, but I guess Webster can stand it in the cause of liberty and ' truth. The "rads" can't rub out the fact j that until he resigned as assistant sec- j retare of the interior he was put for- ; ; ward as the Orator in chief O? Mc Kin Icy*s a d m i i s t ra t i o . 1 make another prediction, am: ir. is j this: Republicans like Doiliver will keep on abusing Davis uutil he gives an expose C? his differences with li. Clay lavaos, commissioner of pensions, j and Lit hau Allen Hitchcock, secretary of ih?' interior. When Davis tiers that, hundreds of thousands of old sol diers will leave McKinley and vote for j Bryan, because ii is an open secret i that the row which Davis had with j Evans and Hitchcock grew out of the ; fact that Davis was the finn and un- j yielding friend of the old soldiers and ? ihat he regularly overruled Evans and j that Hitchcock regularly overruled j j Davis. So that the more the Republic- i ans abuse Davis, the more the old sol- j diers will vote for Bryan. Nothing could more clearly demon ; strate the disintegration now going on i in the G. U. I', than the fact that at I the great ratification meeting at Lin ; coin three of the principal orators were : General James B. Weaver of Iowa, j ex congressman: Charles A. Towue of Minnesota, ex-congressman, and Webster Davis of Missouri, ox-assist ant secretary of the interior?all once great and shining lights in the Repub lican party. There are other great men, once pillars in the Republican ! temple, who were not there in the flesh, but who were There in spirit such as Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado. ex-Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho. General John B. Henderson of Missouri and Carl Schurz?an il lustrous company, surely. Disgraceful Business. On tike part of Republican news papers this is to be a campaign of mis representation and vilification. That I they are doing this systematically there can be no question. They appear to be acting on Voltaire's dictum. I "Keep on lying, and some of it will j stick." The Kansas Citv Journal seems to j have earned "the bad eminence" of j j leading in this disgraceful business, j j I never read that sheet that I am not j forced to recall the words of Sir John Falstaff on a memorable occasion: ; ? "Lord! Lord! how this world is given j ! to lying!" I I submit to a candid world if the ! McKinley imperialistic party is not in ; ! a very bad way when it deliberately j resorts to lying and misrepresentation i as The only means of bolstering up a j losing cuise, This same monumental liar, the Kan- , sas City Journal, said that in our de- j bate at the Winfield Chautauqua the ? "Hon. C. B. Lundis was dignified and j argumentative, while Champ Clark j was vulgar and abusive." which was j another lie. It based its charge ! against, me on the last sentence in my j closing speech, which was as follows: | "If you desire a pure, economical, pa- j triotic American administration, vote | the Democratic ticket, and may peace rest u??on your houses. If you desire j a wicked and wanton waste of the ? people's money, a further growth of I trusts, a vast standing army and the | Republic converted into an empire, j vote the Republican ticket, and may God have mercy on your fool souls!" i am willing stand by that. What ! is tia re abusive or vulgar about that? j Is stating the truth abuse? Is it vul- j era'-": Isn't the Eenubliean oartv auiltv ? ci wiCKed ::?; wann.:: waste o? the ; public money*; Isn't it crasi ridden and ; :i:v; to establish an em?ire un?n the ; ruins of a republic?

Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver is a ? brilliant orator and an amiable gentle- j man.

Clay ton-lit:! ? ? Treaty. I had the opening and close. Dolli ver had the middle speech. In my opening speech I went after Hay and his treaty with Pauncefote without gloves. To my surprise and delight. Do?iiver walked promptly into the trap, declaring that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was an amendment to and im provement on a Democratic treaty - the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, negotiated by James K. PoJk's administration, in my '-losing speech I jammed the truth into hin*, in great chunks, and the truth is that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was negotiated on the part of Great Brit ain by Henry Lytton Bulwer and on the part of the United States by John M. Clayton of Delaware, who was not a Democrat at all. but who was secre tary of srate under General Zachary Taylor, the last Whig ever elected pres ident. So Brother Dolliver found him self in a hole, and at the White Cloud (Kan.) Chautauqua he stated that it was a Whig and not a Democratic treaty! That Democrats may have all the facts to thump into Republicans I here by give all the dtates touching the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. These facts may be found on page 2.']4 in a govern ment publication entitled "Compilation of Treaties Xow In Force. 177S-1S99;" also in "Treaties and Conventions. ISSO." page 440: "Clayton-Bulwer treaty concluded April 10. lSTiO: ratification advised by the senate May 22. IS50: ratified by president May 23.1S50: ratifications ex changed July 4. 1S50: proclaimed July ! ?. IS O."

The social rank of o family in Swit- ; serland is estimated by the age of its j cheese, and the greater the respect due to or the affection for a guest the older ! is the cheese set before him. There j are in each pantry at least as many cheeses as there are boys and girls in the family, for at the birth of every child a cheese is mude. It is first cut into on his or her wed- j ding day. on which festive occasion all I the guests partake of a piece of the groom's and the bride's cheese in order to secure for them till earthly thrift and happiness. The rest is served as a token of friendly souvenir and heart- j felt mourning after the tomb has clos ed over his or her earthly career. Moreover, when a Swiss youth falls in love and wishes to pay court to the girl of his heart he gees to her father and asks permission to share the fami ly dinner next Sunday. This is al ways granted if he is respectable, for it would be considered a deadly insult to refuse. The anxious question in his mind is, "Will papa bring out the cheese Papa does not usually hurry to re lieve his fears, having the family dig nity in mind and wishing to proceed with due deliberation. If he is indeed satisfied with the suitor, he at length rises from his seat, goes solemnly to the cupboard, takes down the oldest piece of cheese, splits it and hands a piece to the youth and one to the maid en, and from the moment they have tasted it they are betrothed. Hot Weather Diet. "It is a mistake." said a physician during the recent period of extreme heat, "to eat too little in hot weather, just as it is a mistake to eat too much and the wrong things. Extreme hot weather is in itself very exhausting, and plenty of nourishment is needed to sustain the system. This nourishment should be of a simple and easily digest- j ed kind. For myself I find that milk ! and vichy taken at regular intervals of ! two hours, sipped rather than gulped down in a single draft, gets me through best on a very hot day. from breakfast to a C o'clock dinner. Then I take euro to have a fairly hearty i meal."?New York Post. Burns, Bruises, Kneuma-1 tism and Seres. Price, 25 cts | Sold by Hngbscn-Li^or *0o Do You Need a,,.,. DO YOU WANT TO ? Keep Cool.
