HI DO LEY. Bhothkh Nhviixis will need no ice in his campaign. The re ports which come in from the district arc sufficient to put icyclcs on William's whiskers. As tiih democrats in some states appear to have trouble in securing1 an emblem for the head of their ticket, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat suggests that a soup-housc would be uncqualcd fpr that purpose. This effect of government fiat on circulating medium is being' illustrated in the Transvaal, where many burghers who had supposed themselves rich have been ruined by accepting paper money, now of questionable re demption. Transvaalgold, how ever, continues to pass current at the same value it did before the disaster to the arms of the South African republic. Bee. i . i m , t , ft kkmkmiikhing tnat "tor ways that arc dark and tricks that arc vain, the Chinee is peculiar," is not likely that the powers will place any great amount of faith in China's promise to deliver the ministers safe at Tien Tsin if the advance on Pckin is aban doncd. To guard against pos' siblc massacres on the road from Pckin to Tien Tsin, the ministers should have a strong guard of the international troops. n-.-i. -a Tun fusion crowd which met at Lincoln this week to talk over the campaign declare that the fusionists will have a walkaway in Nebraska this fall, yet it is noticed that at the same time they are preparing for the most desperate campaign they have ever made. The fusionists arc whistling loud to keep up cour age; they realize that the 12,000 plurality Bryan received four years ago might be wiped out without much trouble. In speaking of the political outcome this fall, the Kearney Democrat says: "Nebraska has been held in line for Bryan through fusion tactics alone. In 1896 it gave Bryan 12,900 major ity, and in 1897 the state ticket received 13,800 majority, but in 1898 the majority fell to 2,700 for the fusion candidate for govern or, W, A. Poynter, wlio was an exceedingly weak candidate. He is a candidate for re-election, he has not strengthened himself in the minds of the voters of his own party, and a pronounced split has taken place in the fus ion ranks. The existing condi tions have made Nebraska debat able ground with about, even cljancca between McKinley and Bryan carYymg the state' arc nmkinir a kick aofainst tnc . heavy assessments which arc being1 made against them for cam paitrn expenses, liicy evi dently feel that the chances for ,vlu"""6 . J www......b v ........ Not even the persuasive clo- quence of William J. Bryan, the oft repeated reassurances of William V. Allen, or the power ful invective and fervid rhetoric of the World-Herald, can stop the mid-road movement, or pre vent the return of a large num ber of populists to their former republican allegiance. When tlie story is all told they arc pretty well satisfied with the McKinley administration, and they have had very little to be satisfied with in connection with fusion administration in Ne braska. Hub. j jiiv uiiuuuuiu ntnn ui nit safety of the ministers at Pckin, July 21, is not only a great relief to the whole civilized world, but is, .is Minister Wu observed, a triumph for the wisdom of Sec retary Hay and American di plomacy. While every foreign office in Europe was sneering- at the childishness of the United States secretary of state in allowing" himself to be deceived by Chinese promises, Mr. Hay steadfastly announced that he must continue to put confidence in the Imperial government until it should have been proved a liar. As a consequence the United States was in a position to use r.vn..i, fr,,. r i:ir-.n J.. . . . ., . v, , . sure the safety of those in Pckin, wnue at tnc same time it was hurrying troops to Taku. Tim New York Evening Post turns the tables neatly upon one of its correspondents, who is un able to understand why it docs not support .Bryan since his sincerity as a reformer is not questioned. The Post, conced ing for the sake of the argument that Bryan is sincere, replies that it is unable to sec what rc form he could be expected to accomplish when 'his most trusted lieutenants arc such men as Altgcld, "who would not lift a linger to suppress the frightful rioting at Chicago, but foamed at the mouth when President Cleveland put down the anarchy which had come to threaten the peace of the country;" Crokcr, who "has made the democratic party in New York a stench in the nostrils of the community," and Clark of Montana, who has given of his millions to help Bryan's cause. Chicago Tri bunc. CONGKICSSMAN ClIAMl' Cl.AKK, the Missouri buffoon, has pictured the "impcralism" bogey in per haps thc most frightful aspect of any of thc fervid "antis." Clark, with the vision r it. tn prophet on the Isle of Patmos, sees two United States senators from each of at least 120 islands of the Philippine archipelago, , i , , 1-ti- 1 hen he holds up his hands in Holy Horror and asks ins audi- tors if they want the votes of the Unitcd States senators "killed" by Filipino senators, who would be three times as numerous as the present members of the sen ate? This is about as good a a democratic argument as we re member to have seen, though we arc convinced the Hon. Chump Clark has not made the most of his opportunity, There are, as near as the best geographers can guess, about 4,000 islands in the collection. Now if thc distil guishcd Missourian would give each one of them a couple of senators, he would erect a more friglitlul bogey than the crea tion depicted in Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein. Wc marvel at the excessive moderation of Chump Clark. Eight thousand Unitcd States senators would be more terrible than any army with banners. They would be something to get scared at but wc positively refuse to become frightened at u paltry 240 Fre mont Tribune.

We make no charge for THE REPUBLICAN LAB OH FLANK Here is the expression of the Philadelphia platform on the subject of labor: 'In the further interest of American workmen we favor a more effective restriction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign lands, the extension of opportunities of education for working children, the raising of the age limit for child labor, the protection of free labor as against contract, convict labor, and an effective system of labor insurance." The labor plank which was ap proved by President McKinley and really represents the party was in the draft of, the platlorm presented by Hon. Charles Memory Smith, and this draft in addition to the above contained three other important labor propositions, one declaring in favor of a general and gradual reduction of the hours of labor towards uniformity throughout the country, another declaring in r r.i , f iavor oi uic principle oi organiz ation for labor on the same terms as capital and guaranteeing it the same rights and privileges before the law, and a third de claring in favor of the suppres sion of sweatshops in our large cities. These were eliminated, presumably by the wisdom of Mr. Uuigg, to the astonishment of the administration. In reality the Philadelphia platform com mits the republican party to six definite labor propositions, which constitutes a remarkably ad vanced trade union platform, the equal of which has never found its way into any political platlorm hitherto promulgatcd- -Gunton' Magaztnc. BRYAN AND LABOR. You and your organs, Mr, Bryan, backed by the silver mines of the west, arc asking labor how it has benehtted by the prosperity which followed vour-defcat in 1890. Do you suppose tnat ttiey don't Know as well as you know: That every morning when the workingman now leaves home he leaves it with a full dinner pail, and that when he returns in the evening he has done a full day's 'iW0l'k tt a lull day's wages mat every mm, ractory, nunc i nfhpr indtiwtrv in thi Unito! ghvtcs is employing more labor and paying more wages than at anytime since the triumph of the democratic party in 1892? That whereas the wagc-earn- crH of thc Unitcd states in the Wilson law years could not earn enough to meet their current ex penditures, depicting tneir sav ings banks deposits by more than $37,000,000 in the one ycav of 1894, thev since have earned enough to save and invest a sur plus in savings banks deposits alone of more than $482,000,000? That in the year of 1890 the savings banks deposits of the United States, representing the surplus earnings ot the bread winners, had advanced to more than the combined savings banks deposits of anv two other nations in the world and to half thc deposits of Austria, Hungary, Bavaria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, NT- T CO... .1 O. ' run-way, n tissia, owetien, Switz erland, the United Kingdom, Australasia, Canada, Cape Col ony, India, Natal and thc Crown colonies all put together, their combined deposits being in 1899 84,595,949,450? In 1899 the savings banks de posits of thc Unitcd States ad vanced to $2,230,300,954. Do you think, Mr. Bryan, that labor doesn't know all this and what it means? Mr. Bryan, do you tuink that labor is a fool? N. Y. Press. of all skin diseases is caused by an acid relieved tnrouKii certain instrumentalities of this acid poison reaches the skin and it becomes red and inflamed. The itching mid burning arc almost unbearable, especially when overheated from any cause. The skin seems on fire, sleep or rest is impossible, the destwrntc sufferer, regardless of consequences, scratches until strength is exhausted. This burning, itching humor appears sometimes in little pustules, discharging a sticky fluid, which forms crusts and scales. Again the skin is dry, hard and fissured, itches intensely, bleeds and scabs over. This is a painful and stubborn form of the disease. While Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum and many like troubles arc spoken of as disenscs of the skin, they arc really blood diseases, because THERE CAN BE NO EXTERNAL IRRITATION WITHOUT AN INTERNAL CAUSE. If the blood is in n pure, healthy condition, no poisonous elements can reach the skin. External applications of washes, lotions ana salves sometimes mitigate the itching and soothe the the disease, neutralizes the acids and cleanses the blood, re-inforccs and invigorates of all immiritics throuzh the natural channels : the ekln relieved, all inflammation " " gays she vra afflicted with Scrofulous sores nnd Hcettia swollen Hint hc was not recognizable, mid her limbs Tins early in the campaign it looks very much as though Gov ernor Poyntcr will meet political death by the hands of his pro fessed friends.

Ki-brimka u llf lin Wittclittil. In tho npproaching campaign no other stnto will no moro closely watched than Nebraska. Ono reason n thnt It Is tho homo of tho fusion can didate for president, William J. Bryan. Another and still more potent reason Is, that It Is an agricultural nnd man ufacturlng etato, and as such has been largely benefited by republican pror- ncrlty. Four years ago Neornsica, Hyp notized and frlghtoied by tho allurlnc promises and startling predictions of tho fusion campaigners, and by those of Bryan In particular, gave Its elec toral vote to tho tuBiomsts. i no poo plo of Nebraska had faith In tho pre dictions of thc "boy orator" and the; followed his leadership. Ho wns de feated notwithstanding and his predic tions have been exploded. Bryan declared from tho rostrum that If McKinley was elected, farm products would decline In value. On tho contrary, thoy have advanced . lfo sail tho adoption of gold stand-j-d would precipitate a slavery of tho masses. On the contrary, It tas re sulted In better wages, more monoy and general prosperity. Ho said through tho free coinage ot sllvir alono could prosperity come. Frco r.olnago was dofeatcd along with Bryan -and such prosperity as thh country has never boforo known now prevails. But Nobraska, though swept by nd vorslty from end to end under a dem ocratic administration, which, barring tho silver proposition, was n reminder of whnt Bryan'B election mennt, gave Its vote to Bryan. What will It do this year? Will It still bcllovo In a prophot who hns fallen and In prophesies which when now hold up before tho lamp of Intelligence and experience ap pear ridiculous? Will it turn Its back to the ndvanco agont of prosperity and its face to tho advnnco ngent of tho sil ver or bullion trust? Will It still Insist on tho government making It so that tho mnn who produces sliver bullion can hnvo Its valuo lncroasod 100 por cent, so that ho may trado CO conta worth ot silver bullion for a dollnr's worth ot wheat, or corn, or labor, or, will It bo loyal to Itsolt and Insist on gottlng 50 cents worth of Bllvor or CO cents worth of gold for CO cents worth of wheat, corn or labor?

Congressman Mercer was equally successful In securing appropriations nnd concessions vastly benollclal to tho state. Ho Is n firm advocato ot equitable pcnslouu, and has gladdoned many a homo in his district by success in securing tho allowance of a pension claim. Congressman Mercer strongly champions tho rural mall delivery system nnd lias dono much to encour age It. Much credit Is duo him for tho Missouri river appropriation.
