Such an arrangement is liahle to p rot luce a democratic, (list rict. Sarpy, you know isuVmociut ic. hence the kick. Axv man who claims to lie a demo crat and is not in favor of harmon'in the factions, is neither true to his party, his country or worthy of the name democrat. Harmony is essential to success in 1VH4, and it hehooves those who can harmonize-, and won't try to so, to tret out of the way of those who demand harmony. , ' Tiieick is time in the senate for the consideration of Senator A Id rich's iet currency measure, hut there is no time for consideration of theeiyht hour law or the immiriat ion hill, which is ob noxious to those larje. colorations winch wish to continue the importa tion of the lowest class of European labor in order to keep down waes in this country. Theke never was a time when the country contained more fraudulent schemers than at present. The mails are fullofcirculars, letters anil pamph lets, containing all kinds of tfet-rieh-quiek propositions, and strange as it may seem these propositions tind enough credulous people to make mon ey for those liehind the schemes It is well not to take.any stock in any in stitution which oilers more .than a le gitimate return for the money invest ed. There is milluwis of money seek ing safe investment at a low rate of in terest, arid it is presuming a great deal on the financial ahility of an unknown concern, to believe it more capable of earning dividends than those based on sound business principles. The new senator from Ctah, Reed Smoot, says he i a Mormon, but not of the polygamist variety. We presume not, since that portion of their "relig ion' has been prohibited by the United States government. How would it be if such a law did not exist?1 The same, no doubt,, as nourished in the balmy days of Joseph Smith and Hrigham Young. The polygamy part of the Mormon religion has not died out by a longshot,"and the more these people are recognized as representatives, in the legislative halls of the government the stronger the belief that some day they may be allowed to return to their old practices. This paper is opposed to Mormon representation in either the upper or lower house of congress, and as Roberts was refused a seat in the house of representatives, Smoot should meet w ith the same fate in the senate.

Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

The Telegram is right with Isryan in every endeavor to prevent the Clevelands from getting control of the democratic party, but we iteheve. he might have attended that banquet without sacriucing his. manhood and without doing violence to any politi cal principle he champions. His con duct in tins instance was not like liry- an. He has been a large man, intel lectually. . 1 1 is followers believe him large enough and strong enough ment ally to meet (i rover Cleveland any where. He should have attended the banquet. Nobody, .more than the Cleveland followers, needs just such argument as lirvan miirlit in good con science have made on suchan occasion. He should have accepted the calf and done his part in promoting the princi ples for w hich he contends. Those of us w ho believe in Bryan and his theories would have welcomed a contest at that Iolitical lioard between our leader and (J rover Cleveland, never fearing the re sult. In declining t he iuvitatiouhe act ed the part of a society woman who in sists that her neighbor who bills her to her home must rirst submit a list of guests, in order that she may not run up against those with whom she does not choose to mix. The gentle way of treating invitations is to consider the character of the hostess, rather than the personnel of the guest-list. The Telegram regrets that Bryan should have played a part toosniall for Bryan. We are basing this article upon the press reports of Mr. Bryan's action in the premises. The press reports may have been faulty. Columbus Tele gram. Jn addition to the above timely ut terances the Journal desires to remark, that 31 f. Bryan's refusal to participate on such an occasion does not show that he -is very much in favor of harmony. If there is any way upon the face of the earth to harmonize the diffe ranees be tween the two factions of the demo cratic party, it should be done, and the only way to do it is for the leaders to "get together and do business." If Mr. Cleveland has shown a disposition to do this and Mr. Bryan refuses, then the latter will be to blame for demo cratic defeat in 1904. If Mr. Cleveland has been the cause of defeat in the past and shows a willingness to join hands for the future success of the party, he deserves commendation, as do also those who will labor to to bring about such a reconciliation. Mr. Bryan's refusal to respond by his presence to an invitation to take part in a gather ing destined to bring about a genuine good feeling among those who have the future success or defeat of the dem ocratic party in their hands, has. done him more harm than good. So far as the Journal has been able to perceive he does not seem to be w illing to do any thing that will aid in closing the' gap that separates the two .factions. For forty years the writer has been a worker in the democratic harness, nev er deviating from the path of duty, and many a time we have felt like shedding tears over defeat. But when the call for battle each succeeding elect ion was sounded, we took our place in the ranks of the masses of the party ready to do all in our power tocarry.the democrat ic banner to victory. To one who has so long had the interests of the party at heart, it Is indeed very discouraging to see a half dozen men, just as victory is within our grasp, to decree it other wise. We have always supported Mr. Bryan, and are ready to do so again jf anationalconventionsodecides. And while we would delight in so doing, there are many others whom we could just as willingly support in case one or other of them is chosen as the standard-hearer. And we are ready to de clare, that the man, or set of men, w ho stand in the way of success in 1904, are not democrats, and are unworthy of the titles of champions of tle cause of democracy and good government.

Butler, a young man yet in his teens, of Red Oak, Iowa, and in the employ of Julius Reppcrbcr, the cigar manufacturer, was most brutally as saulted near the corner of Sixth ami Main streets on Tuesday evening last about 8 o'clock. He was in company with another young man, also in the employ of Mr. J'epperberg, and when in front of the Fitzgerald block some one run up behind young Butler and delt him a powerful blow on the hack of the head. He fell to the sidewalk st ricking on his nose and face. Officer II asset), was standing in one of the doorways, but failed to see it, as the lick was struck so quickly that 110 one knew anything of it until the young man fell and the form of the asssilant could be seen lleeing down Main street, and was out of sight in a moment. It was perhaps a good thing there were so many on the street, 01 perhaps the assailant would have 1m en brought to bay from a shot from Mr Hansen's revolver. Butler was not seriously hurt, as it was, but if it bad occurred a few feet farther, he would have fell on a curbstone, and in all probability would have resulted more seriously. The public nave already been informed as to the trouble that has been existiting between the Cigar- makers Union, of this city, and Mr Pepperberg, but as that has been a matter to be settled among them selves, the Journal has had but little to say, believing that it was none of our business. Of course w hen this as sault was made, many people were in clined to believe that the cigarmakers were instrumental in bringing it about. But this the Journal is not in anyways inclined to believe, and since they. have come out publicly and denied any connection with it, we are more positive they had not. -The of ticers claim that the identity of the assailant has been fully established, but no name has been mentioned.

I 1 FOOD PROTECTION The Circut Court of the United States Decides in Favor of the In-er-seal Package. A neciiion far reaching in its effect ainl of interest to all lovers of pure food, has just been handed down by fudge Adams in the Circuit Court of the T'nited States. The suit In question was brought against the Union Hiscuit Company for infringement 011 the Jn er-sea package controlled exclusively by the National Itiscuit Company, for the protection of biscuit and crackers agains dust, moist ure, odor and germs, In deciding against the Union liiscuit company, Judge Adams says "The proof abundantly shows that prior to the invention of the patent the old paper cartons or boxes, wert inadequate to the demands of the service required of them; that their contents deteriorated rapidly in sub sianee and lavor: mat tiiey were subjected to the baneful effects of the air, moisture and dust. Since the introduction of the box of the patent a radical change has taken place This box has leen found equal to the climatic and other local conditions in all parts of the country, from New Orleans to New York, from Florida to Minnesota, and from Calif irnia to Massachusetts. The uniform testi mony from all these regions is to the effect that the contents of the box arc .preserved in their original freshness and favor. "The whole testimony in my opinion clearly shows that the box of the patent materially facilitates the dis uiuuuon 01 inexpensive rood pro ducts to the consumer and at the same time lessens the cost and en hances the intrinsic value of such products." Judge Adams1 full decision against the infringement not only shows the great importance of the In-er-seal package, but is so broad and conclusive as to prevent any further infringment or use in violation of the rights of the National Ui.scuit Company. Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pnec monia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend w ith, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Itemedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of inluenza (grip, and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases In which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grips in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and dilliculty in breathing and painsin the chest, then it is announced that the patient lias pneumonia, lie on the safe side and take Chamber Iain's Cough Kennedy as soon as the cold is contracted.
