Confidence did not bring It —'the igolxi sta/ndard also failed. Wo hope, but have no confidence in the hope. The cause that led up (or down) to these conditions still exist. There muM tie a change in conditione. When properly regulated the profits of capital and lalbor will be equalized. The process of turning out millionaires from capital, and paupers fronn labor will cease. We get just what we ask for by our votes. The election of '97 was evidence that the people were dissatisfied with existing con ditions. And we IxMve that in 1900 they will ask, .In terms so strong and plain, that those effects be destroyed that there will be no mistake tn the meaning. In the meantime it might be well 'to consider a few things. First, the people wore positively promised prosperity and it has not come lu quantities large enough to be discerned. Second, It cannot come, for the principle is wrong. The people have not forgotten those promises, that failed to materialize. Now, when wheat is selling flora dollar, we are told that we are prospering better than ever because we cam buy so little with a dollar, when the poor laborer Is obliged to pay $1.60 tor flour and 60 cents for pota toes. And they bear tin mind that taxes ami interest do not decrease, and the amount of the mortgage is as big as ever. And that labor is no better employed, at no better wages, although continual re ports to the contrary. And they will know that the gold syndicate have made every effort to stimulate trade and the man of means who had confidence has invested to no profit, which has Its good effect by in creased circulation. lAnd that undue or false stlmulaition will result in injurious reaction. Amd they know that reaction may at any time follow so long as corpo rations rule. To Insure prosperity the peo ple must rule, and they never will cease acitlon until they are enthroned with Bryan for their leader In 1900. Wise advice is given on “The Mother- In-Law din the Home" in the February ■ . Ladies' Home Journal. The writer details the proper couirae for the mothor-in-law to pursue In order to make her presence in the heme of her son a delight, and di rects the daughter-in-flaw as to her duties In the case. The advice carefully followed will make the mother-in-law a Welcome acquisition to the family. The article will commend itself for its common-sense. Will the House Kill It.? There is every indication that the Teller resolution asserting that the payment of the bonds of the United States, principal and Interest, in silver would be no viola tion of the public faith nor an act in dero gation of the rights of the public credit ors, will pass tihe Senate, but there seems no probability that it will pass the House. An effort will be made in the Senate to amend It. Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, has offered an amendment which declares it to be the duty of the United States to maintain parity between Its gold and sil ver coin. It ds Intended to mean that the United States shall make its silver as good as gold, ami that payments shall be made In gold wherever there Is the slight est disturbance of parity from an attempt to pay in silver. The resolution. It Is said, will be speed ily acted upon in the House. It will either be squarely’ voted down by a big majority, or else it will be amended so as to make i't mean exactly the opposite of what it means now’. Mr. Updegraff, of lowa, one of the most uncompromising gold standard members, believes that the House should seize the opportunity to at least substitute for the Senate resolution the declaration of the monetary commission, “that, all obligations of the United States for the payment of money now existing, or here after entered into, shall, unless otherwise expressly provided, be deemed and held to be payable in gold coin of the United States.” According to protectionist doctrine, all that is needed to insure the striking cotton factory operatives steady’ work and higher wages, is to ask Congress to amend the cotton goods' schedule in the Dingley tariff law. and double tihe duty on foreign im ports. According to protection, the higher the duty the better the wages and the more the home market can consume. No notice need be taken of over-production or ex port trade. But labor in New England is learning a costly lesson about Republican tariff legislation, declares the Buffalo Times. Mr. dußignon Declines Hen. Fleming O. dußignon, in an au thorized interview in today's Atlanta Con stitution, makes public his decision not to enter the gubernatorial race. He says: “It is due those friends throughout the state who have generously tendered me their support for this high office that I publicly announce at this time that I will not be a candidate for governor.” It is stated that Mr. dußignon finds no objection to Colonel Candler, and it i« generally accepted that both he and Sen ateor Clay will support Candler. This, it seems to us, practically removes all doubt as to who will be the next gov ernor of Georgia. There is absolutely no one left who could give Mr. Candler seri ous trouble, and it now looks, more than ever. Mke a walkover for the “one-eyed plowboy of Pigeon Roost.” Those who are watching the Tennessee senatorial race have observed that Gov ernor Taylor Is gradually crawling up to second place. One or two more votes will put him ahead of Turley. He will then be in position to demand Turley’s with drawal. While the 'Memphis man has had the largest following, Taylor was not In position where his friends could use such demands to break Turley's forces. Gov ernor Taylor is said to be playing a wait ing game and It Is undoubtedly the best play he could make. The Trouble In France, Dreyfus may or may not be gufity, but the French government is—of condemn j ing one of its citizens to punishment more | horrible than death without the right of I such a trial as a Republican form of gov : ernment is popularly supposed to guaran tee. The agitation in France, which grows I more serious daily, is not due so much to I belief in Dreyfus’ innocence as to the idea I that the government has not acted openly | and honestly with tbe public in dealing I with this matter. There is a suspicion that Dreyfus is, to I a certain extent, a victim of some other I nation's duplicity and that the French | government is willing to put Dreyfus tor i’ ever out of the way rather than compli- I cate that nation. Enough has been admitted by the gov i ernment to show that to publish the real i facts underlying all this disturbance i would seriously endanger tire semi-aJli . ance existing between it and Russia. But | it is the general belief that it would be far better for France to brave such a thing than to risk revolution at home. The gwernniMt would do better to heed the popular clamor tor light upon the en tire troubles emanating from the unfor tunate Dreyfus affair, now* kept secret, than to allow the spark of anarchy to blaze I up under popular discontent and destroy the Republic. A Georgia editor says: “Times are not improving very fast. We are jagging along in the same old way.” He probably wrote it 'jogging,' but permitted It to fall into the hands of a compositor who was deter mined to tell the truth, even if he lost his job, thinks the Cleveland Leader.” Judge Louis E. MtComas, who has been elected by tbe (Maryland Legislature to succeed Arthur P. Gorman as United States senator from that state, Is said to be a strong man. He Is easily the ablest Republican Ln Maryland. The United States of Australia, which rejjor.t says is about to be born, will have a territory of 2,300,000 square miles and a population of 4,000,000, which is 1,000,000 more than the United States of America had at the btginnlng. Friends of Congressman Fleming wll] find pleasure In the words of commenda tion he Is receiving, mentions the Augusta Chronicle. He has been invited to be the guest of the Massachusetts Reform Club, on February 9th, The Brunswick Democrats who voted for McKinley, because they “didn’t like Bryan,” must feel some compunctions of conscience when they think of Gene Belcher, says the .Brunswick Times. The Kentucky Legislature has Indorsed a newspaper. The best indorsement a newspaper can hawe is the confidence and support of the community in which it cir culats, says the Washington Post. The late H. L. Fti'erce, of Milton, Mass., left SIOO to each and every one of the em ployes of the business Ann of which he was a member. There were 125 of the beneficiaries. The Seminole uprising ceased as soon as the Indians learned that Congress A was seriously considering the enactment of an anti-scalping law, mentions the 'Birming ham News. Those Ohio legislators who were not bribed are inclined to raise a row about it, is the way an exchange regards tbe investigation of Hanna’s campaign meth ods. Tom Reed has down very fine the art of pacifying tihe Cuban belligerency reso lutions, thinks the Memphis Commerciial- Aippeal. The Chicago Times-Herald is persist ently asking certain Republican bosses of the Windy City where they got it. There is said to be a movement on foot in Chicago to sell shoe leather by the pound. At any rate, no 'possum jokes arc in order inMr. dußignbn's case. The Itluelt Holes of Indian Territory. The other day a prisoner was brought to the bar in one of the federal courts of the Indian Territory. He was told that be could have les choice of a jail or a peni tentiary sentence. “Judge,” said he, “let mo go to the penitentiary. For God’s sake, don’t send me back to that jail!” At Ardmore the space between two brick buildings is inclosed by walls across the front and rear v£ the lot. A roof par tially covers tho inclosure. The gable ends are open, and u driving rain or snow storm wets the interior. The mud of the dirt floors is often ankle deep. Such is one of the United States jails of the territory. Under this shed and in the mud tho fed eral prisoners awaiting trial are herded by guards who patrol the front and rear day and night. At South McAlester is the second of these national disgraces. It is a stone building 50 feet wide by about 80 feet long. The sides of the building are with out openings of any kind. In one end is a door. In the opposite end are two win dows. The only air that can enter is by the door and the two windows. Men and women prisoners are confined in this stone building. Recently the number thus housed was 176. The smell that comes from the Interior is such that few persons can approach the door without being sick ened. At Muscogee is the third of the territory jails. A lira destroyed tbe old building in use, and a new’ structure, crude for such purposes, but a marked improvement on the other two jails, is now in use. These three places, two of them without coun terparts in the whole country, are employ ed to hold between 7vo and 800 prisoners, either awaiting trial or under sentence. They are the only jails for a population of 800,000 white people. To keep the 700 or 800 prisoners within these “black holes” the United States pays $40,000 a year to jailers and keepers.—Washington Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A South Sea Story. An English naturalist has just explored an island in the south Pacific only recently discovered and named Christmas island. It was not thought to be inhabited by man or beast. The naturalist was. however, astounded to run across a huge bamboo house in the center of tbe island and saw every sign of luxury through its open por ticoes, while the surrounding country was laid out in beautiful gardens. As he appeared in the open glade an aged white man left a stockade close to the house, and, followed by his native wife and children, with 20 black servants and con cubines bringing up the rear, came toward hiiu. The modern Robinson Crusoe either refused to speak or had forgotten his na tive tongue, for be made himself under stood by signs, and this dumb show was to the effect that if the visitor did not leave the island at once it would be worse foi him. The white man, like the natives, wore no clothing except a loin cloth made of skins. The natives treated their white master with great reverence, evidently locking upon him as a big chief ora deity The man’s identity oould not be learned - Vancouver (B. C.) Letter in San Fnvi cisco Chronicle. The Surprise of All. Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, 111.-, in speaking of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last winter his wife was attacked wit la grippe, , and her case grew so serious that physi . cians at Cowden and Pana could do notb ! ing for her' It seemed to develop into I hasty consumption. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery in store, and selling lots I of it, he took a bottle home, and to the i surprise of all she began to grow better i from the first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds is guaranteed to do this c good .work. Try it. Free trial bottles at H. J. Lamar & Sons' drug store. DIED IN HIS BERTH. As Impressive Death Scene In a Pullman Sleeping Car. The Morgan ferry station has produced many good stories. It has furnished its quota of tragedy and comedy in railroad ing. but never was a more pathetic vi gnette of real life portrayed than was fur nished by the arrival of the through trai l from the west the other morning. When the trainmen entered tbe sleeper from San Francisco, they found a young man in his berth who was unsLle to leave , it and who was then ir the Inst stage of consumption. Although a day train, he had been allowed to occupy his berth all tbe way from Houston, having taken the train at San Antonio. lie carried a ticket for Jackson, Miss. That was all the trainmen knew of the stranger. A physi cian had been a passenger on the train and had administered what comfort he could during the journey east of Houston. V.hen Algiers was reached, he advised that it would prove fatal to take tho young man from his berth. Acting ujxm this advice, the sleeper was detached from the train anti placed on the ferry, a thing that is not usually done. Bringing it io this side, the stranger, who, by the way, was about 85 years of age, was teen to be rapidly sinking. Lr. Formento 'was summoned, and ar rived in a short time. fie said nothing could be done. A .-tinrotout was admin istered, however, in tbe hope of reviving life until the patient could be got from the car. Harry Abbott, city passenger agent of tbe Southern Pacific, was in the car long before this. Seeing the sleeper on this side attracted tho attention of the Rev. Mr Ahrens, who happened along at this time, and he climbed on the coach. Dr. For mento, Mr. Ahrens, the Pullman con ductor and the two negro porters were now surrounding the berth of the dying man The doctor said he could not live many minutes. Mr. Ahrens said it was too bad to see the man die without a word offered up in his behalf. Kneeling at the head of the Pullman berth, there was then enacted a scene which was probably never before witnessed in a railroad car. Trainmen, who are not persistent churchgoers, felt the strange, impressive moment, and, as though by in stinct, they all knelt about the couch which bore the spirit struggling between life and death. Mr. Ahrens was at the head, while Harry Abbott knelt at the foot and the Pullman conductor and the por ters bowed the knee in silence by the side. The prayer offered up in behalf of the dy ing man was one of the most beautiful and most touching ever said in behalf of any soul. The spirit of tiie supplication was that, although this man was unknown to those who knelt by his side, yet he was a common brother and bound to them by the tie of brotherly love. For this reason all men are interested in each other, and for that reason the last and parting prayer was offered up In behalf of this dying brother. As Mr. Ahrens closed his appeal for divine mercy all of the watchers by the bedside joined in repeating the Lord’s Prayer, even to tho porters. In ten minutes after tho closing of this pathetic service the spirit of the man took its flight. He was afterward convoyed to the hospital, and it was then learned that the stranger was W. H. Covington of Jack son, Miss., and that he was of a good Mis sissippi family. He had been a long time a sufferer from consumption, and finally determined to go to San Antonio, Tex., to see if becould not find some relief. This change was successful for a time, but, as is the case with such patients, the effect soon wore off, and Mr. Covington deter mined to make his way back to Missis sippi.—New Orleans Timos-Deniocrat.

George Layton, Esq., a promi nent druggist of Dayton, 0., gives the following case: A customer of mine, whose wife has used four bottles of ‘ Mother’s Friend” before con finement, says, after seeing the effects of the remedy, that if she had to gothrough the ordeal again, and there were but four bottles on the market, and the cost was SIOO per bottle, she would have them. “ Mother’s Friend” is a scientifically compounded liniment which affords cer tain relief in the various ailments pre ceding childbirth, and assures proper elasticity to the cords and muscles in volved in the final ordeal. “Mother's Friend” is sold by drug gists, or expressed on receipt of one dollar.

Dr. Coltman, missionary physician at Peking, hl the medical attendant of Li Hong Cluing, and not long ago found his distinguished patient immersed in ; the perusal of the New Testament, a handsome copy of which had just been sent to him by the Rev. George Owen lof the London mission He asked Dr. ! Coltman, whom headdresses in Chinese as Mau Tai Fu, if he really believed i the book, and if it was not all rumor and report. Assured that it was true, he asked what the evidences were, an interrogation which the missionary met, eliciting from the great man the re mark, "Why, 1 believe that you would like me to turn Christian." Dr. Colt man replied that it would be the best thing he could do, the same condition applying to the young emperor and his , people. “We have Confucius," replied Li Hung. “You have Jesus. They are t pretty much one thing." Having ad mitted so much and becoming really in terested in his new Bible, the chance of his conversion, in the opinion of Dr. Coltman, is net entirely hopeless and would be the highest achievement of » missionary endeavor since their work among the Chinese began.
