MR BRYAN S CONSISTENCY s' His Recent Actions Will Not Strength en His Party in 1900 * Ihe refusal of Mr. Bryan to accept the invitation t>> the Jefferson birth day dinner of the Democratic Club ol New York and his acceptance of invi tations to two other Jeffersonian din ners in that city are ngarded by hie friends as evidence of his consistency on the silver question and of his devo tion to any cause which he has become convinced is right. It is probable that his convictions are deep-seated ana that be would rather be right than be President, but there are those never theb'ss v. bo pretend to belies .■ that he is more concerned about being renom inated in 1900 than he is about any of tbe principles on which the campaign was fought in 1890 V\ e believe that Mr Bryan is a very sincere man, but we cannot help thinking that the issue he raised with the Democratic Club in New York, and the issue which was raised in the municipal election of Chicago will not tend to strengthen the Democratic party in the campaign of 1900. Tbe aim should be it seems to us, to unite T» factions of it wider apart. There is no need to antagonize those Democrats who do not see their way clearly to approve every plank ol the Chicago plaforrn, though willing to support the platform and ticket, which will be nominated next jear; nor is there any occasion fur reading out of tbe party men like Carter Harrison, who has announced that he is in favor of free silver coinage We do not agree with those who think Mr. Bryan in.ists that those who do not accept every plank of the Chicago platform, are not D-mocrats, becau j e he sees clearly that if that platform is not reaffirmed he will not be renominated. He probably does see that, but hie course is not con trolled by that knowledge. He insists trpon Democrats being measured by that platform probably because be be lieves that by inculcating deep-rented convictions in respect to its principles the chances of tbe Democratic party for success in 1900 will be greatly in creased. That is why he doesn’t want to associate with the gold standard Democrats of New York. But it doesn’t follow tl.at for that reason the assistance of the gold stand’ ard Democrats should be refused in the campaign next year. The presence of that faction io the party will not prevent the majority of Democrats— those who control-the party—from having deep-aeated convictions in re spect to silver. Samuel J. Randall, a distinguished 1 Lmocrat, difl'ered from his party on the tariff question, and a large faction of Democrats agreed with him, but their presence in tbe party didn’t weaken it. We give Mr. Bryan credit for sin cerity in turning his palms towards those Democrats who don't approve everything in the Chicago platform. We don’t believe that he is influenced in taking that attitude by the belief that if that platform is modified his chances for a re-nomination will dis appear, but we believe the effort he and the Democratic national commit tee are making to discredit all Demo crats who do not toe the Chicago plat form mark will not help the party to win the election next year.—Savannah News. “ " " " " ♦ .-i lam Story of a Slave. To be bound band and foot for years by the chain of disease is the worst form of slavery. George I) Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says; “My wife Las been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Elec tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im proved and able to do her own work.” This supreme remedy for female dis eases quickly cures nervousness, and sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by Harris &S >n and Carlisle A Ward Druggist.

Mnxcnline Mnon.-rx nx They Are DI»- plnjed In Madrid. Smart life is v. ry little seen in the streets of Madrid. Women never walk about unattended and seldom do more 4 than descend from and enter their car- - riagee. Men, a- a rule, are gravely jki- >1 lite, the best of them genuinely so and I . the others with a varm-h which does i very well when not scratched. They stare out of countenance every woman who passes. This, they explain, means v nothing, and is indeed a delicate sort of . flattery, but by American ladies it is often taken for insolence and is always very trying. 1 In the Royal Opera House at Madrid a an apparently well bred Spaniard will e not hesitate to walk down the aisle . during the entr’act, and, taking a fa vorable stand near the woman he wishes e to regard, stare at her for two minutes - at a time, with or without glasses. No f sooner is the curtain down than nearly 1 all the men in the bouse —as a rule handsome fellows and well dressed bunch together in the middle aisle and take the measure of their surroundings. i It is a solemn moment. Nobody smiles ! or jokes, and there does not seem to be much talking. Hats are worn, and ’ every ina.i looks about and stares. ' When an acquaintance is descried in t one of the boxes, he gravely lifts his . hat and replaces it, but his features re tain their impassive gravity. The women, when one does see them, seem to be handsomely gowned, but ; they are not as good looking as the m<-n. They go about in fine looking i carriages, drawn by spirited horses or by a spanking pair of mules. I have never seen such mules, as are to be seen at times on the shopping streets of Madrid. You will often find on these crowded thoroughfares equipages that would look well on Fifth avenue, flocks cf sheep and turkeys and slow moving oxen, not to mention the omnipresent donkey. The case life is an imitation of the French article. Had to Pay Lecense. J I ? >r several weeks past, a shooting = gaPery has been run in this city bv i W. M.
