[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.

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?

prevail, and when those laws nrevor
redly uno- rs?-ood w*-aiber prophesy
ing will be decidedly useful and
necessary. 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.

A Word -
to Doctors
We have the highest regard for the
j medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon?
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri?
ous to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al?
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying a liniment that softens and re?
laxes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, com?
bining the ingredients in a manner
hitherto unknown, and call it
Mother s Friend
We know that in thousands of cases
it has proved more than a blessing to
expectant mothers. -It overcomes morn?
ing sickness. 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. It is sold at $i a"bot?
tle, and should be used during most of
the period of gestation, although great
relief is experienced if used only a short
time before childbirth. Send for our il?
lustrated book about Mother's Friend.
