I Bryan is putting up a hard
fight to retain the dictatorship of
com pc I a reaffirm
ination of the silver plank plat
forms of 1896 and 1900, but the
reorganizers are fast getting into
the saddle.
It looks like Parker against the
;$or the Democratic presi
nomination, with all the
on the former, notwith
ding Bryan’s wail that the
party is thus returning to ‘ ‘its j
wallow in the mire of plutocra
cy.” i
The Business Men’s League of
| Batesville has contracted for a
page advertisement in “The New
Southwest.” Our sister city is
learning the value of printer’s
ink and Newport could spend a
portion of her wealth profitably
along this line.
Ex-Governor Bob Taylor, of
Tennessee, the popular statesman
and lecturer, is now the defend
ant in a divorce suit, which he
is not resisting. The Memphis !
Scimitar, in referring to his new
lecture, “Castles in the Air,”
\says that the divorce skeleton
has no place in the “air castles”
of optimistic Bob.
From the Baltimore Sun, we j
learn of a new departure that
has taken quite a hold upon
Eastern cities. Some of the
parks and unused lots are turned
*\ the estab
c nshme^ofgardens, which are
* planted and worked by the pupils
and are for the study of botany
and nature. There’s too much
garden making at home for the
average Western boy and wild
flowers are too easy to secure for
the study of botany to ever popu
larize this idea in the life of the
far West or sunny South.
tes Senator Stone,
vtio, before his elee
^‘£&Il to the senate, was a recog
nized power in the lobby of the!
legislature, recently admitted in ;
court that he had represented a
schoolbook corporation. He de
- nied going before *the schoolbook
* committee as a board, but said
he had appeared before the dif
ferent members of the committee
individuals in the interest of |
* his employers. In like manner
he admitted appearing on behalf
of street railway corporations be
fore members of the state board
of equalization as individuals,
but not as a board. Attention is
called to this because of the
strange code of ethics which fails
to recognize the fact that appear
ing before individual member? of
a tioard or committee and seek
ing to influence them as individ
uals before they meet as a whole,
intensifies vnther than palliates
i the lobby evil. Argument in
open committee on pending legis
lation is permissible at all times,
and if the work of the lobby was
restricted to that therti would be
little cause for complaim. Prac
tically all the corrupt work of
the lobby is done by appearing
the individual Members
The most a* mding
a man of the perspicacity of Sen
ator Stone should not have recog
nized so glaring a fact. —“The
Looker On ” in Little Rock
Gazette.
The world sustained a greater
loss than the death of Admiral
Makaroff in that of Verestchagin,
his guest, who went down with
him. The great Russian painter
was to art what Balzac, Zola and
Tolstoi were to letters. He was
the greatest portrayer of realism
in art. Makaroff is to be suc
ceeded by Skrydloff, but where
shall be found the successor of
Verestchagin? And the press
dispatches devote four lines to
the great painter and columns to
the great admiral. What a
strange commentary on our
boasted Christian civilization!
The man skilled in the art of
killing his fellowman in warfare
is ever the hero. The destroyer
is more honored than he who
creates, save by the few. We
profess the gospel of peace on
earth, goodwill toward men, and
are ever ready to fly at our neigh
bors’ throats. The wheels of
civilisation revolve even more
slowly than the mills of the gods
grind. When the tocsin of war
sounds, the heritage of barbarism
in our blood breaks out through
the veneer of civilization. We
praise the virtues of peace, and
forgiveness and worship force.
We deplore the shedding of blood
and preserve in song and story
and marble the shedders of it. —

Bad Blood?
Bad blood shows itself in a thousand familiar ways.
| Pimples, boils, muddy complexion, headache, backache and
a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify
and enrich the blood.
Rhematism, gout, eczema, catarrh, anemia, Bcurvy, scrofula, etc.,
I result from impurities forced into the blood with food or drink, or from
the lack of certain necessary food substances.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest, safest, most reliable, conven
ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
1 qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
j bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high
esteem as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism,
; eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh,
* scurvy, boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney
i troubles and a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co., Detroit, Mich.

Time Tells
The vStory.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
