Bryan has just completed a home at Lincoln, Neb., Is being received with a great deal of pain by a number of papers throughout the north and east. These papers lay particular stress upon tho fact that this house has twenty rooms, and that Mr. Bryan is not only a free silver man, but an energetic opponent of the trusts. They hold to the axiom that any man who sympathizes with the poorer classes should remain poor himself and "leave to others the ac cumulation of riches. It is said that Mr. Bryan has already accumulated between $150,000 and $500,000 worth of property, and asserted that his an nual incomerfrom his paper and other sources is not less than $50,000 an nually. This condition of affairs is sad, no doubt, but what is tho use of pro testing? An especially generous Prov idence endowed Mr. Bryan with more than his share of gray matter, and it is not apparent how these people are to keep him poor. It is true that Mr. Bryan is becoming wealthy without oppressing any one, and that there has never been the least suspicion that one penny of filthy money ever soiled his hands. And it is this that hurts. The plutocratic organs which are pained at his prosperity would have no ill-feeling against him if his money were wrung from the sweat and the suffering of the mass of peo ple. If Mr. Bryan had, for example, secured his wealth by cornering the stock of coal in somo city during the existing blizzard or had devised some plan whereby small dealers in certain commodities could have been ruined that a syndicate might capture the trade which had been theirs, he would have been haileiUfig a captain of in dustry. But thathS!iji1 coin this wealth out of the grayTflffllar within his skull, and without injury to any of his neighbors, is, of 'course, inex cusable. It is more inexcusable that he does not change his political views now that ho has acquired a consider able amount of worldly goods. But more damning than all else is that he is making regularly the salary of a manager of a great syndicate without oppressing any one whatsoever. Tho public will be pained along with the plutocrats at this extraordin ary conduct of Mr. Bryan, but their pain will by no means be as acute. In fact they may bo willing that Mr. Bryan should continue to prosper, though the more envious will not un naturally complain that Provfdenca was not more even-handed in Its dis tribution of brains. Mr. Bryan has achieved a notable victory in demon strating that even at this late day brains are a valuable commodity in the world, and that a man may prosper even yet without oppressing his neighbors and without permitting his conscience to be sear.ed by the acquisition of wealth by furtive methods. It may be as well to inform these plutocratic organs that wealth is not in itself an evil, but that evil meth ods of acquiring the wealth is what constitutes the sin, and that they will never be able to convince the world that honestly acquired wealth is a dis grace, while wealth dishonestly and ilegally acquired is an honor to the holder. May Mr. Bryan continue to coin wealth out of his brains until he has all that is necessary to "his hap piness. The pity of it is that most of the great fortunes in this country are not in the keeping of such men as he. New Orleans Times-pemocrat. from $2.50 in cloth to $4.50 In full Morocco. A reader of Tho Commoner asks for information in regard to a Life, of Lin coln. Thero are several books !to which reference might bo made, among others, a volume entitled "Reminiscences of Lincoln," published by the North American Review, of New York. This is complete in one largo volume, and ia made up of ar ticles by a large number of porsons vgiving incidents to tho life of Lin- coin. Herndon's "Life of Lincoln," published by Appleton & Company, of New York, is complete in two vol umes. Raymond's "Life of Lincoln," also published in two volumes, was Issued just after President Lincoln's, death and was republished by Hearst & Co., of New York, in 189L - Book Reviews.

' One of the most popular books re cently Issued is the volume containing a collection of the writings, addresses and orations of Senator John James Ingalls, collected by his widow, and published by Hudson-Kimberly Co., Kansas City. Senator Ingalls was a picturesque character and one of the first men of the trans-Missouri. coun try to win a prominent place in na tional politics. He was orator, rhetor ician, poet, satirist and statesman combined. Few have had so complete command of the English language or could boast so comprehensive a vo cabulary. His Invectives were as ter rific as his eulogies were beautiful, and the senate was always crowded when ho was announced to speak. The number of orders already received for the book indicate that it will have an exceedingly large sale. The volume contains 536 pages, and the price runs Mr. Harris Weinstock has published through Funk & Wagnalls Co., New York, a volume entitled "Jesus the Jew." He recounts how in his youth he was taught to connect the suffer ings and persecutions of the Jews with the name of Jesus and to charge them upon his followers, but that upon study he found that Christ "simply knew Judaism, the religion of his birth, which he practiced and preached and which he tried to keep pure and undefiled." He follows up the discus sion of the personality of Christ with the following chapters: Jesus the Jew. What Jew and Christian Owe to Each Other. Is the Messiah Yet to Come? Ato the Jews God's Chosen People? "Why Remain Jews? Shall Jew and Christian Intermar ry? jMoses, -the Greatest ltfan of An tiquity. The Ethics of Moses and Its Influ ence on Present Civilization. The Jewish Idea of God. The. Jew in Commerce; The book Is an exceedingly inter esting one both to Hebrew and Gen tile. tions Intended to draw attention to tho practical Influence of Christ's teach ings upon the thought and life of today. ; Looking for a Husband. "When a woman wants a husband she doesn't go looking in a club for one," said tho short-haired maiden lecturer. .

VEEY FEW PEOPLE Funk & WagnallB Co., Neyr York city,' have issued a little book -entitled "The Next Step In Evolution," by Dr. I. K. Funic The main thought running through the book is to be found in tho statement "Christ came the first time into men's visions by coming on the plane of their senses i Ho cpmes the second time into men's visions by lifting them up to his plane of spiritual comprehension." The book is ono of a number of recent publica- Aro Freo From Some Form of Indi gestion. Very few people arc free from sonic, form of indigestion, but scarcely two will have the same symptoms. Some suffer most directly after eating, bloat ing froui gas in stomach and bowels, others have hcajtburn or sour risings, still others palpitation of the heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest nnd under Miouldcr bldcs, some have ex treme nervousness, as m nervous dyspepsia. Hut whatever the symptoms may be, the cause in nil cases of indigestion is the sume, that is, the stomach, for some reason fails to properly and promptly digest what is eaten. This is the whole story of stomach troubles in a nutshell. The stomach must have rest and assistance and Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by supplying those natural digestives which every weak stomach lacks, owing to the failure of the pept'c glands in the stomach to secret sufficient add nnd pepsin to thorougnly digest and assimilate the food eaten. One grain of the active principle in Stuart's , Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment, which anyone can perform for himself in the following manner: Cut a hard boiled egg into very small pieces, as it would be if matcatcd; place the egg and two or three of the tablet in a bottle or jar containing warm water heated to 98 decrees (the teranerature of the bodv) and krrn it at this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have; been iu the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment is that what ' Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle it will do to the egg or meat in the stomach and nothing e'se will rest and invigor ate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and benefit if its digestion is wenk and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular daily use are easily explained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, as-eptic, pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingle with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach, a chance to recuperate. Dieting-never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cattartic medicines, which simply irritate and inflame the intestines. When enough food is eaten and promptly di gested there will be no constipation, nor in fact will there be disea.se of any kind because good digestion means good health in every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dyspepsfa Tablets are world-wide and they arc sold at the in r derate price of 0 cents for full sized package in every drug store in the United Stales and Canada, as well as in Europe, .
