A contest ;si milar to that in the democratic ranks o.'r silver in 1896, is predicted. Tilt eollectorship is still puzzling the ft'ohra ska delegation in congress. No agreement was reached Saturday, and an adjournment of the "-rraf t dispesers" wj ; taken to Wednesday of this week. It is nw believed that both Hammond an 1 P. )se will have to side-step for an other rv.au. TiiG president's message should be co.r.mended by the toiling millions in the west from the fact that it contains ma v reiterations of the gentleman from Ne IvMsVa, who will be the democratic sl.indard-bearer in the ensuing cam pa in, whose name is a household word throughout the entire land. Congressman Norris has stirred up a good sized bunch of trouble in his dis trict by that attempt of his to be funny the other day in congress. The resolu tion was not only a slap at Bryan but it was also a whack at Teddy's month, and the president's admirers are hot about it. It is dangerous to get funny, sometimes. Despite the character his eulogists accord him as a man of action, Mr. Roosevelt is given a good deal more to talking than to doing. And pretentious threats to do things may readily cause trouble that would never come if action took the place of threat. Positive ac tion gives a chance of defense to the party threatened, whereas for mere words there is ofttimes no defense. It appears from the records that the President's objections to stock gam bling did not stop efforts to rush the Treasury surplus to Wall street when much of it might have been saved by the proposed closing of the Stock Ex change, to prevent which "disgrace" to Wall street millions were rushed to the floor by the same panic managers who were in touch with the Treasury and the White House. The results from the panic, so far, has not seriously disturbed the farmers. In fact, with the exception of fat hogs, the markets for all kinds of farm products have been exceptionally good, but the laboring man is the ieilow that is "gett ing it in the neck" now. All over the east and in all industrial cities come the daily reports of reduction of em ployes and a reduction in wages and hours of those who are fortunate to find employment. What excuse can the re publicans put up for this state of affairs during campaign? It looks as if they would have some pretty hard nuts to crack. But you need not fear, they will try to concoct some scheme to pull the wool over the eyes of the voter. These conditions have arrived just in time for the people to begin to do a little think- themselves Deiore casting tneir votes for the trust party candidate for presi dent next fall. "as DAILY PERSONAL NEWS Short Items of Interest, From Mon day Evening's Daily Journal PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. I. -, ,. V'jfj N't?.. Bryan speaks for all democrats in demanding full publicity for contribu ti'Mi.? to campaign funds.

Money contributed -siiivl u?ed to coi-rupt the ballot ought to h ive the full publicity on the jail records its contributions deserve. "FitOM recent reports from Washing ton it appears that "graft dispensers" Barkettand Brown, will succeed in their efforts in having that grand old soldier, Captain Palmer, removed from the post ofTice at Omaha. Nocharges have been preferred against Captain Palmer, and the only reason why the two senators demand his removal is to give the place to one their pets. Congressmen Henswhaw and Norris will have the fight of their lives for re eomination, from reports from their respective districts, all because they fa vored and took the salary grab. What Mi Congressman Pollard do? We all know that he accepted the "tainted emr.ey." but did he favor "the grab?" The voters of the Third district will want to know all about this matter be fore they will consent to his return to coi-Tess again. The assassination of the King and Crown Prince of Portugal sends a shud der of horror around the civilized world and arouses genuine sympathy for the Queen-mother whose husband and elder son fell dying at her feet while the sec ond of her offspring lay twice wounded. That she escaped the rain of bullets which almost wiped out the royal family seems miraculous. That she tried to sacrifice her own life to preserve her children is only another illustration of the divinity of true motherhood whether in palace or cottage. But apart from the human side of the tragedy students of the rise and fall of dynasties will read a lesson which again emphasises the fact that the day of autocratic rule is past. By abruptly abolishing the parliament and establishing a dictatorship, King Carlos fanned the flames of a popular discontent and aggravated the opposi tion to such an intense degree that he was practically a prisoner in the hands of his loyal guards for fear that he would meet some such fate as befell him. Had he pursued less drastic meas ures in his attempt to govern his people there probably would have been no in centive to lead an inflamed mob to such a deplorable tragedy. District Attorney Jerome's pas sionate abuse of Thaw in his closing speech has nothing to do with the merits of the case. Assuming that the defend ant's guilt deserves the supreme penal ty of the law, the habit many prosecu ting attorneys have of abusing defend ants with passionate intensity is merely a result of precedent, going back to JSngland in the Middle Ages, when the attorneys for the crown abused defend ants accused of treason with animosity fierce enough to show their own loyalty and win promotion' at court. In acting this long line of precedents, Jerome ame close to the brutality of the Star Chamber prosecutors of such defendants Neighborhood Favorite Mrs. E. D. Charles of Harbor, Me., speaking of Electric Bitters, says: "It if a neighborhood favorite here with us." It deserves to be a favorite ev erywhere. It gives quick relief in dys pepsia, liver complaint, kidney derange ment, malnutrition, nervousness, weak ness and general debility.

Tin only departura we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna arairs in ths future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell o ir product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, thn tha medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna a being entirely within their approval. EUT VE SHALL NOT DO THIS. 7e shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to convey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy. We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use our modicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence. Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED. This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that crit icism will continue. On some pretext or other these who are envious of the success of Peruna will continue to find fault. But we are determined to give such people no just complaint. PEItUNA 13 A GREAT MEDICINE. It has become a household word in millions of homes. Our faith in the remedy is stronger than ever.
