Tho man who la anxious to bur
Wtually gets the worst of the bargain.
If the wages of sin la death, some
people ore slow In collecting what Is
due them.
The man who never tries to do any
thing and the man who tries to do
everything are both foolish.
History continues to repeat Itself In
plte of tho fact that two-thirds of his
tory Isn't worth repeating.
A man spends enough tlmo wonder
ing why his neighbors dislike hltn to
malio himself agreeable to them.
A man Informed said recently that
1y denying himself three 10-ccnt cl
gara dally for twenty yenrs ho figured
that ho had eavtd $2,190. Ho then
asked for tho loan of n quarter.
When Abdul Hamld's ofllclal Amer
ican farmer gets down to work pcr
Jinps ho may be able to teach his royal
employer how to raise that sum of
money tho latter owes this govern
ment. All reports from the seaside nnd tho
mountains show un unusually gener
ous patronogo of tho summer resorts.
This Is not so much evidence of an
especially hot summer as It is a sign
of general prosperity. The Inclination
to go to the resorts Is nlways strong,
but tho ability of people to gratify It
depends, In largo measure, upon tho
condition of business.
General Wcyler recently told the
senate of Spain that "revolutions were
frequently necessary and accomplished
a work of regeneration." Wcyler as a
regenerator would bo ono of history's
most colossal Jokes, whllo his Idea of
regonoratlon," to Judge from his Cu
ban doings, would be Identical with
that of tho warrior who made a soll
tudo and called It peace.
Alderman Brick of Doston solemnly

Col. Alexander Hawkins of tho
Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers could
not find death upon tho battlegrounds
of tho war-swept Philippines, but met
Ills fato upon tho sea, a helpless vic
tim of insidious disease. There was no
glorious dash nnd no martial show to
emblazon tho passing of this bravo
Eoldler, nnd history will not give him
the credit or tho Justice that wcro as
rightfully his duo as though ho had
fallen leading tho boldest chargo of
tho cntlro cnmpalgn. Yet ho did his
duty wherever It led, and when all Is
ulftcd and compared, what greater
Iiralso could bo given to any fighting
man?
American railways nnd their man

To bo tenacious of his rights and
privileges real or fnnclcd whllo at
tho satno tlmo ho may bo forgetful of
tho rights and privileges of others, Is
no moro peculiar to tho whlto man
than to his brethren of any shade of
color. An anecdote told by a South
ern dclegato to the National Suffrago
Convention at Grand llaplds Is amus
ingly Illustrative. An Island off tho
(Southern coast, Inhabited by negroes,
had as principal teacher In ono of lta
schools a white woman. Sho was there
as much lu tho capacity of missionary
ns of teacher, and had so endeared hor
clf to tho peoplo by her self-sacrificing
spirit, that they unanimously
ctccted her n member of tho school
committee. Tho chairman, a pompous
nnd prosperous negro, was so Indig
nant that a woman should bo thus

that ho Instantly resigned. "Now
you'vo sworo her In," ho said, "you kin
Kwar mo out. I isn't gwan to Bit In no

the Filipinos opened fire.
Their force was estimated by Colo
nel Smith at 1,500. although the tesl
dontH afterward said it exceeded those
figures by 1.000. The enemy sent
heavy . volleys ngalnt-.t the whole
American lino. Most of their shoot

centrated their heaviest tiro down tho
track on the artillery. Colonel Smith
kept tho wlio'o lino moving rupldly

All tho nominees arc democrats ex

Following Is a text of the platform:
"Wo rcjolco In the exalted sentiment
and motive that prompted the govern

piTHsod people ot Cuba, In tho success
ful termination of tho war with Spain
and in the patriotism and unsurpassed
bravery displayed by soldiers and sail
ors on land and sea. The war for the

was worthy of the greatest republic
and tho most civilized nation that nour
ished in tho tides of time. Hut for tho
same reason that we glory In the suc
cessful war againrt Spain wc depre
cate the continued war against tho
Filipinos. One war was for the eman

for tho subjugation of the people nnd
If tho war ugalnst Spain wns right,
and It wns, that against the natlvco
of the Philippines, who havo commit
ted no offense, save to love liberty,
and to bo willing to fight and die for It,
Is wrong. The army authorized by
congress to conquer the natives of the

American doctrlno of consent nfllrmed
In tho Declaration of Independence nnd
In conflict with tho principles which
Georgo Washington nnd his fellow pa
triots of tho revolution made sacri

tho wnr ngalnst the Filipinos, believ
ing It may have been Inspired by

ducing conditions that will force an
Anglo-American alliance, nnd not only
protost against tho war nnd demand
tho extension to tho Filipinos of the
sumo assuranco given to tho Cubans,
but wo record our dcop-scated an
tagonism to nn alliance wKh Great
Urltaln or nny other European power
and express our detestation of the nt
tcmpt inndo in Urltlsh interest to dis
rupt tho friendly relations which hnvo
uniformly existed between tho United

"Wo view with alarm the multipli

out Independent producers of limited

stricting oportunltics for labor, arti

dition different from state socialism
only In the respect thnt under social
ism benefits of production would go
to all, while under the trust system
they go to Incrense tho fortunes of tho
Individual. These trusts and combina

policy of the republican party, which

that party In retaining power. It has
placed tho burden of taxation upon
thoso who labor and produce in the

United States Senator M. L. Hay ward
wan stricken by apoplexy at 1:30 a. m.
yesterday and Is still vory 111 from Its
effects. It was not thought Into last
night that tho attack would lcsult

At 7 p. m. the family physician. Dr.
E. M. Whltten, said: "S'.-nator Hay

His temperature Is 100, pulse 100. ro

have some hopes of removing him
home tomorrow, but It Is very doubt
ful. As yet there aro no Indications of
clot on the brain or paralysis, which
accompany or follows it, but it is not
too late for euch Indications to appear
and paralysis may follow.
"I think the stroke Is probably the
result of tho physical changes experi
enced on his recent trip to tho moun
tains, where ho found the rnro air did
not agree with him and ho wns foiced
to return home. 1 have been his phy
sician twenty-five yenrs and ho never
hnd a similar stroke before, Ho had
a strong, robust constitution. Thii at
tack might have been caused by over
heating or over-exertion, mental or
physical."
At 11:25 p. m. the senator was rest
ing easily with no mator'al change.
Senntor Hay ward was ono of the
speakers billed nt the Midcrti Wood

was n largo crowd present and Senator
Hnyward was seated on tho platform
chatting pleasantly with friends. Ho
was not complaining of any indisposi

and spirits.
Tho tlmo had arrived Just oftcr 11 a.
m. for hlm to deliver his nddrcss and
fio was Just on tho point ot rising from
his soat when ho wns seen to grasp

then fall to the platform. As tho large
audience realized that something seri

Woodmen formed In line around tho
place where ho lay to keep tho crowd
from surging in and shutting out the

work to revive Mr. Hnyward. This
proper a most difficult task and it was
almost two hours beforo the patient
showed nny decided signs of reviving
consciousness.
Shortly after 2 o'clock ho had re

of tho senntor's ultimate recovery. Ho
was removed to a place where ho could
