Soluble Beveridge Has His Comb Cut. SAD END OF A GREAT SPEECH fir. Gage's Scheme to Scare the ? National Banks. J?ABE THEM STASH AHB DELITEE. VniBfparfHt Trick to Raise Money Wit* Wkkh to Corrupt Voters. Jttdjfe Brewer on Government br Fore?-Mark Hanai'i Recent State? ment Abowt Tr oat?-Some Pertinent Qvo?tior* Anent the Subject-Thc B?9abJ ioan BOM Pnlly Answered. [Special Washington Litter.] So the soulful and voluble Beveridge Joss had his comb cut! The Republic? an campaign managers may not have ~ any conscience themselves, bnt they occasionally demonstrate that they ~*ear those who have consciences. When Senator Beveridge delivered nlmseif of his ''malden speech" in the ?cate, which he had been incubating ior months; which was in type ia every j?aily newsp'^^r office in America weeks before it was spoken, about the exploitation of which Beveridge spent sleepless nights and for delivering which the veteran senators gave the goong Hoosier the marble heart, some simple folk thought it would be a -great campaign document, an open ses? ame to the American heart. Beveridge thought so himself. The Republican ?armpaign committee also thought so, Jwr it had it printed in large, very Sarge, quantities and started in to sow M broadcast over the land, and that's precisely the point at which the Re? publican campaign committee dropped its watermelon. Beveridge's speech is an eloquent oration in favor of grand larceny on a mammoth scale. Conse? quently it suited the Republican maa agers to a *Tf" but "there are others" -anen who have consciences, who do not - "believe in highway robbery, who re? volted at the idea of taking away from a, feeble people their lands simply be *saji8* the lands are said to be rich in Sold. There are such old fashioned ?eop?e left in this country, thank God! and some of them are Republicans, and from these the Republican man? agers began to hear in such numbers ^and in such vigorous protests concern? ing the immorality of Beveridge's speech that gooseflesh covered the cu? ticles of the Republican managers aforesaid. They hastily laid their Iteads together and concluded that if Beveridge's proposition to despoil the Filipinos of their lands because they are auriferous, argentiferous and ear coniferous was circulated any more McKinley was a gone fawnskin. So .they sorrowfully committed to the xaraes remaining copies of Beveridge's ^imaiden effort." There never was but ?ne place fit to circulate that speech tn and that is the penitentiary. But. since 1 come to think of it, it ought not to be circulated even there, : ?r the pen may have certain inmates who are making an honest effort to reform and to walk in newness of life, and Beveridge's proposition to plunder 10, -*JOO,000 people of their homes might demoralize the convicts. Tkea and How. * A change has come over the dream af the Republicans-a strange change, a vast change. When the Atlantic money bill was under discussion in -the house, I heard at least a score of Republican statesmen rejoice and -fermat that at last after 37 years of tjease?ess end ea vor. they were about to establish the single gold standard, and to put it beyond the power of a -wicked president such as Bryan, for instance, to interfere with the gold standard basis until the president, sen? ate and house were all three simu? ltaneously in favor of the bimetallic standard sc that a new law favoring jHmetalliais could be passed. Repub? lican leaders so asserted over and over and over again, and they asserted the ..-truth, for a president, whether Bryan xw some other man, would have no 'mor? power, without a house and sen? ate in harmony with him, to change -the present financial status than would the mau in the moon or t&e ahkcond af Swat Every intelligent man. whether Democrat or Republican, knows that statement to be the truth. Nevertheless and notwithstanding. Ly? man J. Gage. McKinley's secretary of "tte treasury, lately issued a pronun ciamento to the effect that if Bryan 4s elected he can, l>y a simple execu? tive order, place the country on a sil? ler basis. Lyman's interview is pre? posterous, and nobody knows it better than Mr. Gage himself. Why, then, did he issue it? Simply to scare the national bankers into coming down with the ?Just-that i.s. to contribute to Mark Hanna's campaign fun.!. If the national bankers are simple enough to be scared by such a silly cock and bull story as thar, they are bigger fools ' thai. Thompson's addle pated colt, whick swam the Mississippi river t" I get a drink. The Republican campaign j managers must be in a bad row of Stamps when they resort to siu-ii trans- ? parent tricks to raise money wit li which to corrupt the voters. A Great Jnri.Mt'.s Losric. I would not think of quoting the evi- j dence or opinions of a Democrat in or- I der to convince or convert a Republic sir. I know too much of human prej- ; udice and human perversity for that; j but certainly a Republican ought to be- j lieve J? Republican. Therefore, as this j ls a campaign of education, I hereby j set forth certain excerpts ovjgggsgftil ! Justice David J. Brewer -of the ! prenie court of the United Slates, de! ered before the Liberal clul* of Buffi lu my- judgment, it would be a pood ereise ia patriotism and intellectual veiopraent for every citizen of the public. Democrat. Republican or P< ulist, to commit to memory these pi gent, terse, classic, wise and patrio words of the great jurist. They conj tute a rare piece of logic and of rh ork?. As some of my Republican rei ers may not know who Judge Brew is, I will tell them. He is one of t ablest lawyers and most distinguish Republicans in the land. For years j was on the bench of the supreme coi j of Kansas, he served a long time < i the bench of the United States eira court, he has for about a decade be a member of the highest judicial t bunal in the world, and he is universa ly regarded as one of the greatest our supreme court judges. Surely fa words ought to carry great wcigi with tLem. Judge Brewer says: It is said that the Anglo-Saxon race has toa* tested a capacity to govern well, that we are that race and that, therefore, we could well gc ern the Philippine Islands as colonies. I do n question the capacity of the race well and wit ly to govern others. I object to the Phliippi: policy because it antagonizes the principles up? which thia government was founded, which lia controlled ita life up to the present time and tl perfection of which has been the hope and aspir ti on of every true American. Very few nations, very few individuals.-live \ to their high ideal?, but surely the Declaration < Independence has been the ideal of our life, ai we have striven to make it more and more rea Now, government by force is the very antipode? < this, and to introduce government by force ov? any portion of the nation is to start the secoo quarter of the' second century of our life upc principles which are the exact opposite of tho? upon which we have hitherto lived. It ia oe thing to fail of reaching your ideal ; it ia an er tirely different thing to deliberately turn yoi back upon it. The teat of government is not in the outvrtr mechanical display of order, but in the capacit to develop the best men, and we have lived i the faith that government by the consent of th governed develops the best men. We have not le the wise rule the ignorant, the learned the us learned, the rich the poor, but we hare appeal? always to "the plain people" as the ones in whoa judgment to rely and upon whose shoulders tbouL rest the burden of the government. Ideals are, after all, the eternal force. Hamal life and destiny are controlled by them. The: may seem today of little significance, but arount them gather material interests, and tomocrov their power is disclosed. Parting- of the Way?. Government by consent and government tn force, no matter how well the government may 1* administered, are two essentially antagonistic principles. Doubtless no immediate conflict will follow. We may see a large measure of prosper ity, but are we not sowing the seeds which in th? days to come will grow up into a harvest of trou? ble for our children and OUT children's children? Evils o? ?nplre. A necessity of colonial possessions is an increase in our regular army, and the first increase pro? posed is from 30,000 to 100,000 men. It is a strange commentary that at the clofe of the nine? teenth century the head of the most arbitrary government in the civilised world, the czar of the Russias, is inviting the rations of the world to a decrease in their arms, while this, the free? land, is proposing an increase in its. Yet such seems to be the imperative need, if we enter upon the sys? tem of colonial expansion. Great Economic Questions) Confront Now the great economic problem in this coun? try is not "how can a few men make more money and pile up larger fortunes?" bur "how can the great body cf the people make a fair and com? fortable living?** The right to work is again and again insisted upon as more important than the right to vote, and the cry of the right to work is supplemented by the cry that the state furnish work to all who cannot obtain it elsewhere. Are we likely to .aid in solving this problem by bringing into our national life 10,000,000 or 12, 000,000 o? unskilled Malay laborers? We hare shut the doors against the Chinese. Are they any worse than the Malay? Shall we introduce in this nation more cheap labor? I do not wonder at the action of the Federation of Labor in protesting against a new competition of cheap labor as well as an increase of the army, with its consequent increase cf burden and taxation on the employed laborer. Kviis Prom Concentrated Wealth. But they say there is money in it. And, after all, this is reaV.y the most potent factor in the proposed reaching out after the islands of the orient. The wealth of Ormus and of Ind is today, as in the days of Milton, the expectation and the dream of many. Possession of the orient, with its accumulated wealth of centuries, dazzles .the im? agination STK] confuses the judgment. The haze ot mystery hangs over that vast domain. Wealth untold is bettered to be there, ready to be appro? priated by say dominant power. All the nations .od tribes come within Lord Salisbury's definition o! dying nations and must soon be divided be? tween and appropriated by t>e living and grow? ing nations. China is held out ts a dying nation, filled with inexhaustible wealth, and why should we not share in its appropriation? What.a picture this if! The eagle of liberty standing like a burrard io gr?w fat over an expected corpse. "Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay." The Casars sew the spears of thar Tie torie** legions flash in the sunlight of every known land, and in their triumphant return they brought with the <e accumulated wealth of all the nattons th? .??d subdued. The splendor of imperial; Borne ouUnone the world, but the wealth thus obtained without value given undermined the empire, and the glory of Rome ia simply a memory. Napoleon beheld the shining star of destiny; and then? Does human nature change through the centuries? Wi stand today facing the temptation which comes from the possibility cf rapidly accumulated wealth. What right have we to anticipate that the Mme result will not follow if we pursue the same course of taking what we save not fully earned? Onr Present Form of Government. The problem we have sought to wurk out in this ration is that of government of and by and for the people. A great nation upon that princi? ple seems possible only under a federal system, a system which regulates all matters of local interest to the several states and exercises through the na? tional government only those ?>owen> and func? tions which make for the general welfare. We have wonderfully prospered in administering such i system in a compact, continental territory, each | part of which has been possessed arni controlled ! bv a race capable of self government. ..Duty'? and "Destiny" Divided. Tliis is no trii'imr question and is no? answered j by any u'us?! about duty and destiny. In fact, all j this talk about destiny is wearisome. We make ' our own destiny. We are not the victims, but the martel of ia-.-.-, and to attempt to unload up on thc Almighty responsibility for that which we choose: to do is not only an insult to him. but to j ordinary human intelligence. l?li-ss?mi* <>;" Our Example.

Prom the Month of an Ass. Tbe other night in Chicago Mark Hanna, following the example of Ba? laam's ass. opened his mouth and spoke, and unless i miss my guess the Republicans will regret Mark's oration only once, and that will be until the end of the world. Mark said, "I would like for Mr. Bry? an or any other Democrat to tell me what a trust is.'* Now. I am a complaisant sort of man and always like to a-*commodate peo? ple, even Mark himself, when search? ing and aching for information. A trust is a criminal conspiracy for the sole purpose of robbing the people, and the owners and managers of a trust ought to be treated in the same man? ner in which other robbers are treated. I hope this plain, blunt unvarnished definition will satisfy Mark's craving for knowledge. Then. Mark having set his tongue go? ing, made this astonishing declaration: "I believe there is not a trust In the United States:" Now, if that is true I would like to ask Mark or any other Republican a few questions: Pointed Questions. (1) If there are no trusts in the Unit- j ed States, why do the Republican lead? ers, such as General Charles Henry j Grosvenor of Ohio, constantly boast that the Republicans passed the Sher? man antitrust law? (2) What sense is there in legislating against an evil that does not exist? (3) When congress passed that law, were the Republicans in earnest or were they merely follow? ing their usual custom and playing a bunko game on the people? (4) If there are no trusts, why did the Republic? ans put a milk and cider, good Lord, good devil, sore of antitrust plank in their platform at Philadelphia? (5) Did Mark ever hear of the Standard Oil company, which is always cited, even by Republicans themselves, as the most successful trust in existence? (6) Did he ever hear of the anthracite coal trust, which has just starved 150, 000 honest and industrious men Into | striking for living wages? (T) Has he ever heard of the barbed wire trust, which has raised the price of barbed wire so high that farmers have almost quit using it? (S) Does he not know that the sugar trust has so increased the price of sugar in the fourth year, of the reign of William, the first king of the United States and emperor of the Philippine Islands, that we now get five or six pounds less for a dollar than we did before his imperial maj? esty a> 1 1 the throne? (9*> Finally, | if M \ -*_>es not know of these and dive* other trusts, is he not more in? nocent than the babes in the wood? An Absurd Statement. It may seem presumptuous in me to answer Mark's challenge, but my ex? cuse is that his dcSance was directed not only to Mr. Bryan himself, but to "any other Democrat" Consequent? ly I'have a right to furnish him the information he seeks. But Mark makes the absurd and untruthful statement that "every law against trusts, national or state, has been the product of Republican law? makers and the credit is due to the Republican party." There Ia not a syl? lable of truth in that statement. When I was in the legislature In 1889. I had the honor, a? chairman of the commit? tee on criminal Jurisprudence, to re? port the first Missouri bill leveled against the trusts. Under lt Attorney General Crow broke up the Insurance trust and compelled the Insurance com? panies to pay $03.000 0f fines into the state treasury. Now, If there are no trusts in the United States, as Mark asserts, will he please Inform au eager world how the trusts could enrich the state treasury of Missouri by that handsome sum? With a graciousness and liberality that do him honor, Mark says, "I have no objections to the Democrats ! opposing trusts." Thanks, Marcus, I thanks for granting us permission to J do that which we have been doing for, lo, these many years without your permission. But if there are no trusts, as you assert, would it not be about as wise and profitable for Democrats or anybody else to oppose witchcraft as to oppose trusts? If Mark's speech does not perform the same office for McKinley that Parson Burchard's alliterative speech did for Blaine, it will be one of the wonders of tin? world. Did Mark ever hear of the American Tobacco company, which lias choked out two-thirds ol* tia- tobacco factories in the-land-swallowed them even as Aaron's rod swallowed the other rods? T:t'.. v .?

Aside from tho scientific end of ii. it is remarkable how ali birds and beasts understand the sir any number of animals whose pecul? iar moves on certain occasions pre? dict u storm or foul weather. I my? self have made a study of one class of fowls in this connection-the barn yard pigeon. I have had a chance to study them for a good long while now, aud I imaginethat I understand pretty thoroughly what their moves mean. I have taken ordinary news paper predictions and set myself to watch that flock of pigeons to see if they understood what was coming. I noticed that when a sudden storm was approaching, although the sky might be ever so clear, my pigeons were always on the wing-circlin i about and around with great unre>f until the storm came. When a sea son of clear weather was on, my pigeons always fly higher than usual, but not so often. They prefer to sit on the barn roof or in the yard and mope in the sun. About 24 hours l>e foro the arrival of a cold wave pigeons will begin to enter in and out of their coves without apparent cause, remaining alwsys close at hand. These ?-reactions I have found infal? lible up to date.-St. Louis Post-Dia? patch. Sparrow Carriers. A man In Georgia some time aga caught some sparrows and trained them so that he can open their cage and they will fly back again without any other inducement than the love of their home. This trainer watched thc birds carefully and made up his mind that sparrows could be trained to do the work of carrier pigeons and that, aa they were smaller, they would be more valuable *n case of war. He gave one of his sparrows to a friend who was going a distance of 130 miles and told him to free the bird when he had reached the end of his journey and at the same time to telegraph him when he did so. The bird reached home and went directly to Its cage, making thc Journey In a little over an hour and a half.

It relieves the sense of tightness. Headaches cease, and dan? ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is shortened and shorn of most of the pain. We know that many doctors recom? mend it, and we know that multitudes of women go to the drug stores and buy it because they are sure their physicians have no objections. We ask a trial just a fair test. There is no possible chance of injury being the result, be? cause Mother's Friend is scientific? ally compounded.
