I have sometimes been criticised for going away from home instead of stay- lag here and having people come to free jr.e. but I Lave felt, in the first place. that people could luot come here as vil as they could go to Carina.

But In the discussion of j public questions In a great fight like this we cannot stop to meas txre the ad- j Tantage of any policy to the people in a particular section. "l believe that the fight in which we are engaged is one that concerns every citizen in this broad land. More than that I believe it concerns the people of all the world. I believe that here we are trying an experiment, and that that experiment, if successful, will be a blessing to the human race every where, and that if the experiment fails here there is no place where it can be tried with better prospects of success. (Great applause.) "Not long ago a republican was chid ing one of our people with the fact that the Filipinos were looking to a democratic election for the securing of their rights, and the republican said: 'Are you not ashamed that the Filipi nos are expecting aid from the demo crats? And this man replied to the re publican: 'Do you know of any people in all the world who are fighting for liberty who are looking to the repub lican party for help at this time? (Great applause.) The Boers in South Africa are hoping for the success of the democratic party Ijecause they be lieve that they have a right to ex pect the sympathy of the American people in their struggle for liberty. (Great applause.) The republican par ty of today is not the representative of human rights as It claimed to be forty years ago. I want those who are about to cast their first vote, aa well as those who have voted before, to take these questions that press upon them for solution and ask themselves, 'What will the result be?" When we say that republican success menaces the founda tion of our government some republi can laugh and say that we are alarm ists, but it is much easier to take the second step in the wrong direction than it is to take the first step, and If to day the American people declare that we can hold the people of Porto Rico as subjects and exclude them from the guarantees of the constitution it will be easier to take the next step, and if we dare to exclude the rPle of Porto Fico from a share in D government In which they live, we will deny our faith in a principle that has been fun damental in this country for a cen tury and a quarter. (Great applause.) "Parties do not make issues; parties meet issues. (Applause.) It is now ten years since 1 first became a candi date in this community and you wll re member that in that campaign of 1890 the dominant question was the tarff question. That was the question then before the country. That was the ques tion which we discussed. Before 1892 the silver question began to rise Into prominence and in tne campaign of Ih'jZ we discussed both the tariff ques tion and the silver question, but the silver question more than the tariff question. By 1S34 the silver question had so risen in importance that it be came the main question of discussion ia this state. You will remember in thu. campaign of 1334 we lost. The rp:;ii!c-a!.3 carried this state and had two-thirds cf the legislature, but the silver question went on Increasing iu importance, until In 1S:G we had the tl;at we had it In the state two years b fore and. after two years of con- biieratioa, the people of Nebraska had i tYcir minds flint vlp carried :arried (Great this state by 13,000 majority. "That was the charge that took via-. e th enhwta Ho- fore the country. It we had had our wr - - . may about it we would have in this campaign at this time the same ques tions we had in 1WS; cut events have thrust into the arena or politics new questions that were then not being considered. The trust question which was considered some, has become more important because the rwpunlican party has stood sponsor by the cradle of more trusts than came into existence in all the years previous to 1896. (Ap-i plause.) - It is the faurt of the republi can party that the trust question is of more importance than it was four years ago. But the republican party has has brought into this campaign a ques tion more important than any ques tion that merely involves the system of taxation, the Industrial system or the financial system. The republican party attacks the fundamental prin ciples upon which our government rests, and when the republican party strikes at the very foundation of free government it injects into the cam paign an issue of overshadowing im portance. (Great applause.) It is not our fault that we have to take up new questions from time to time. When the republicans tell you that we discuss questions now that we did not discuss four years ago or six years ago or ten years ago, tell them that they have raised questions of such Importance that they challenge the at tention and democrats stand ready to discuss every question that is vital to the Interests of the American people. (Great applause.) No one can tell what the future has in store: no one is impowered to ex plain with authority what Is in store for this country; but we can reason we can apply the ruten of every day life; we know human nature, and we know that If this nation reaches a point where it is willing to deny the universal application of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Inde pendence, it will not be long till those principles will not be applied In our own country; ana l want to warn those who toll, that whenever in this country we begin to neglect the prin cipies or. sen-government, the poor will be the first to suffer, (applause), and those who today say that the dol lar of trade Is superior to the rights of the Filipinos, will be saying in a few year that money is more Import ant than man. and that those only who have great wealth have sufficient at stake to have a vclce in the gov eminent here. (Applause.) Our con tentlon is that our government is built upon the doctrine that all men are created equal. Destroy the doctrine and there is no foundation upon which a free government can be built, and if all men are created equal, if they are endowed with inalienable right. if governments are instituted among men and derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, then this nation has no more right as a nation to claim the ownership or eight million Filipinos than one man has a right to claim the ownership of another man, (great applause), and the republican party which was not willing that black man should be cold for a thou sand dollars, now claims a Filipino can be bought for two dollars and fifty cents. (Great applause.) The "DrlnciDle is exactly the same. .((Jreat applause.) "But, my friends, you did not come here to hear a speech (cries of "go on.") I shall have time to talk to you on more appropriate occasions. Let me renew now the expressions of my gratitude for the many kindnesses that you hare , shown me. But the ambition of no man ought to be con sidered when great questions are at stake. Whether I desire to be presi dent is not a question you ought to think of for a moment. The only question is who in the presidential chair will best help in realizing your idea of what the government should be. (Applause.) If. the republican candidate will, in your judgment, do more for this country than I can do for it, then you ought to vote for him. If, in your judgment, I, as president, will be able to do more for the- country than my opponent I am entitled to your vote. (Great applause.) It is a ques tion each man must decide for him self. I cannot feel unkindly toward those republicans who think so much of me they owuld keep me all the time, (laughter), but I can feel even more kindly of you, who will give me leave of absence for four years and Jet me carry out your will at the national capital." (Great applause and cheering.) A Hero There was & shimmer of crimson light in the sky .as he rode along. Sitting square and deep in the saddle, with au attitude that changed little as hi horse's gait varied from lope to trot, from trot to walk or from walk to lope, his eyes fixed straight ahead, the scout rode, ab solutely aloue. Solitude and silence had been his por tion so much that language was to him a curio, a rarity, a luxury. He seldom heard the sound of human voice, and when he did he listened deeply and an swered deliberately, for his supply of speech was not great. As he rode there came a scream from afar overhead a shriek, a screech. But he did not look upward. He knew the voice was the voice of a Springfield ball, high in the air. Man and horse lay down and waited. Neither moved, but both watched. On the brow of a little knoll, far away, he saw a bush wave too fast. It was far away, but he leveled his rifle and fired. Then horse and man arose as if by mutual understanding, and turning from the knoll he rode, the report of the guns behind him merely urging him to hasten. He was not afraid. He was not ex cited. He did not expect to die. He did not expect to live. Late that night he reached the post, delivered his orders and turned to go. The captain stopped him. "Meet anybody on the way over?" he asked. The scout looked hard, as if digesting the query. Then he thought. At last he answered : "Ozly some Indians." "How many?" "Was seven," said the scout. "Now six." "On the warpath?" asked the captain. The scout looked troubled, as though bored by the questions. "They fired" was all he said. Now, then, the war was on in earnest. But the scout ever after avoided the cap tain as a man who talked too much. In the grounds noncommissioned ofS cers passed to and fro, bent on the duties of the day. New recruits were being drilled, singly and in squads. Now and again a stiff young lieutenant crossed to the officers' quarters or, bent on inspec tion, went through the form of examin ing quarters to see whether the dust had been properly brushed away and the floor duly swept. Presently a soldier entered, walked to where the scout lay, and said: "Colonel wants you!" The scout remained immovable for a few seconds. Then he turned to the mes senger and looked him squarely in the eye. Then he arose, deliberately dressed, drew on his long boots, buckled his belt with the ammunition and revolvers in place, and stalked to quarters. The or derly halted him at the door. "Colonel wants me," he said. He passed in. The colonel ignored the lack of a salute, for the keen eyed man before him was not a soldier, but a civil ian employee. Then he said: "There is a woman here, the wife of Lieutenant Jasper, who Is wounded at the ferry. t She wants to join her hus band. You must guide her over." The scout looked half terrified. "Woman?" he asked. The question had a world of meaaing, for the colonel knew of the hostiles on the road, the dan gers of the trail itself, its double dangers for a woman. He nodded. "Bad," said the scout. "Can't be helped," said the colonel. . The scout stood still a moment. Then he turned and walked out. As he reach ed the parade ground he saw a woman before the officers quarters. The sight revived his memory. In a few minutes he was back at the colonel's quarters, his horse saddled, his blankets rolled behind the cantle, the rifle slung by the horse's side, the riata coiled carefully over the saddle post. "Tell him I'm ready," he said gruffly to the orderly. The soldier turned in dis gust. He was not used to unceremonious orders. But the scout was impenetrable. So the orderly went. When the scout was ordered in, he saw a little woman wearing a short riding habit. He looked at her indifferently. The colonel spoke, saying he was the best scout at the post, and she might feel safe with him. "I feel it," she said. The scout broke silence. "Better not go," he said. - . "Oh, I must!" was her answer. They rode away together. All the night long they rode, halting during the day. On the third morning, as the wo man was about to lie down for a few hours' rest, the scout arose, as one who was about to deliver an oration. "Only six miles," he said. Fear of the hostiles had forsaken her, and they rode rapidly on, indifferent alike to the whistle of the bullets, the yells of the braves, and the efforts of small par ties of bucks to head them off. Closer and closer to the camp, and then, as the sentry challenged, the scout turned and let the woman ride ahead. He faced the hostiles for a moment- Then he looked around and saw the guard rush forth and welcome the faint ing wife. The dancing braves jarred on his Bight. He turned back to where the woman had entered the camp, and then followed her. , The officer of the guard almost hugged him. Men gathered about him. The captain clasped his hand. The wounded lieutenant, now almost well, wept. The talk annoyed him. Philadelphia Times, ;' $ $ My Husband's Dmtrclla 4 $ $ g- It is seven years since the following adventure took jplace, but even now I cannot recall tne. weary, heartrending trouble without a feeling of profound thankfulness to - Providence for shaping the end to our benefit. My husband was then, as now, a col lector for the Safety Insurance company and he had gone down to Birmingham to collect the sums gathered by the agents in that town. He had already been away a week and had telegraphed me that morning to the effect that he intended returning that same afternoon, but it was 10 o'clock p. m. before I heard the welcome click of his latchkey. As we crossed the hall he stopped and took down his overcoat from the peg, at the same time taking his umbrella in his other hand and saying: "Rhoda, my dear, you may as well put this in the lumber room; it is smashed en tirely now." And he laughingly opened his old "gamp," which was indeed a complete-wreck. I took it from him when he had closed it, and while he went to kiss our little ones I flung the umbrella into a distant corner of a dark closet under the attic stairs. Next morning Edward kissed, us as usual and set off, looking bright, strong and happy. . About 11 o'clock I was busy making a pudding for an early dinner, when an unusually peremptory knock at the hall door startled me. - I hastened to open it, and was sur prised to confront two strangers, my husband looking pale and troubled and Mr. Snell, the director of the company by which my husband was employed. They walked in, and Mr. Snell at once addressed me..., "Mrs. Falkner, forgive this intrusion. ! but your husoand has lost his pocket- dook or at least ne says so containing bills to the value of $3,500." "Lost! Oh, Edward, how could it happen?" I cried, t "I don't know." he said mournfully. "I . had it in my overcoat pocket last night after I came home,. and as you know, I took my coat into our bedroom, and it was there (the coat) this morning, for nobody went into our room except our selves." "Are you sure you brought it home?" I asked. "Sure! Yes, of course, I'm sure!" he said impatiently. . - "Then in ; that case we must search the house," said one of the strangers. "Oh, do; oh, do," I said eagerly. "It must be somewhere about." "In the meantime I must ask you to stay in this room," he responded, and they went out; of the room, leaving us alone with Mr. Snell. ; The book . could not be found In the house, and . though ; all was done that could be in the way of advertising and offering rewards, all Our efforts were un availing, v Edward was discharged from his situa tion, and many of the people of the town did not scruple to say he had appropriat ed the money to his own use. However, the directors were not among these, and as they quite believed them lost, prose cution was i of no ;a vail; still, they could not keep in their employ a man guilty of such culpable carelessness.-. The house- we lived ia was our own, having been presented to me as a wed ding gift, so we decided to stay in it, but to sell the better -part of the furniture. This we did, and Edward went to Ameri ca, where he succeeded in obtaining a post as clerk in New York. Time went on. and more than two years had passed- since our trouble. I had let my unfurnished rooms to a nice auiet family and undertook to attend to them, whicheaabled me to keep the wolf from the door. r - y My two little girls were now growing up and would soon require to go to school, an expense which -1 was not as yet pre pared to meet. For two years I had not seen my husband and I felt the separa tion keenly, and I could not help the yearnings of my heart creeping into my letters. Edward noticed chis, and in March, 1SS0, he wrote, telling me to pre pare and come out to him next month. He would forward me the requisite funds. We were greatly excited and began packing at once. I sold the house for $1,000 and paid the money to Mr. Snell as part payment of the missing $3,500, and also sold the larger articles of furni ture. The latter sum helped me to pro vide a few necessaries for our wardrobes. The money, came from Edward, and all was now prepared when I remember ed the lumber in the stairs closet and told the charwoman to bring it out. She did so, my little girls helping her. I had gone down stairs for something when I heard a cry of surprise, and Mrs. Egan, the charwoman, came running down stairs, bearing in one hand a dusty old umbrella of my husband's and in the other the long lost pocketbook. She had found it in the umbrella, she explained. Instantly it was clear to my mind. As my husband closed the old "gamp" that night, now three years ago, and flung his coat over his arm the pocketbook must have slipped down into the umbrella! In less than an hour I had handed it to Mr. Snell and wired my husband the joyful news. Instead of us going to America, my husband came back to England, and on the 24th of May, 1S8-, ' resumed his du ties as head collector of the Safety Insur ance company, and I'm proud to say he still holds that post. We kept the "gamp" as a curiosity and shall hand it down to posterity as the in strument which nearly gave my husband penal servitude. London News. Hlatorle Fiction. Was there ever such, a breaker of his toric idols as the scientist? The learned archaeologist. Dr. O. Montellus, boldly de clares that such persons as Bomulus and Bemus never existed. According to the generally accepted calculation of the his torian Varrone, Rome was founded in the eighth century B. C-, and the histo ries state that.it was on April 21, 753 B. C'.when the. vision "inspired shepherd Bomulus laid the first stone on the Pala tine of the Eternal City of the Seven Hills. That date -would make Rome 2,652 years old. But Dr. Montellus pro duces . documents to prove that the an cient mistress of the world existed long before that, there being remains of the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth centu ries before the Christian era.

No one knows how large it really is. Over one hundred miles of passages and 3.0C0 chambers have been explored. And that is only the beginning. There are fourteen different "routes," only three of which have been opened to the public. They are known as the Garden of Eden, Fair Grounds and Pearly Gates. Leaving Hot Springs at 9 a. m. you arrive at the cave in time for lunch. Immediately afterward you enter the cave where for four hours you live and move in an underground woild, beautiful beyond description. During August the Burlington route will run several cheap excursions to Hot Springs. The dates are: August 2, 7 and 21. The rate is one fare, plus $2 for the round trip. Tickets bear liberal return limit and the Burlington's service to the Black Hills is unrivalled. Call on the local ticket agent of the B. & M. R, R.

Belief That a Great Many Will Take These Trips and Tell Old Neighbors of the Plenty in Nebraska. Two "home visitors' " days have been announced by the Burlington good from all over Nebraska to points in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota on which the regular "homeseekers " rates of one fare plus $2 for the round trip will be good. The tickets will be good for thirty days. "I have announced these rates that the people of Nebraska, many of whom came from these states, will be encour aged to go back to their homes on a visit this fall," said John Francis, gen eral passenger agent of the Burlington, when asked to explain the difference between homeseekers and home vis itors' excursions. "Most of these peo ple came out here a few years ago, and have done pretty wel?. Now, if they go back to their old homes this fall with good clothes on their backs and plenty of money in their pockets, as most of the Nebraska farmers can do, and tell their stories of the big crops raised In Nbraska, it will result in their inducing thousands of friends and rel atives to come to this state and locate. "The dates are September 10 and 26, the tickets being good for thirty days. On the two following days, September 11 and 27, the roads In Illinois will make low rates to points further on east, so that people desiring to go to Indiana, Ohio or other states further east can avail themselves of low rates all of the way through.
