Q:
Manson (la.) Democrat: Grover
Cleveland would bo far more accept
able to the democratic party were lie
far less acceptable to republican
newspapers.
"Wilmington (Del.) Jeffersonian: If
any nian says that he desires to see
harmony restored to the democratic
party and yet advocates the nomina
tion of Grover Clpveland, he is a liar
and the truth is not in him.
Wilmington (Del.) Jeffersonian:
"What is the matter with wages? The
republicans have their high tariff at
work. It is successful in making the
cost of living high, but a flat failure
when it comes to keeping up wages.
Benton (Mo.) Record: If the reor
ganize capture the national demo
cratic organization, it will be not
merely a case of the tail wagging the
dog, but of the hair on the end of the
dog's tail dominating the whole ani
mal. Kirkville (Mo.) Democrat: Is it
true that we have robbed and subju
gated the Philippines so thoroughly
that we cannot retrace our steps? Has
every man who has managed to steal
from another become irrevocably
possessed of the swag?
Frankfort (Ind.) Standard: Walter
Wellman writes his paper, the Rec-ortl-Herald,
that "political expediency''
will very likely put off :he decision of
Mormon Senator Smoot's case till af
ter the election. The g. o. p. isn't
P going to take any unnecessary risks of
losing Utah.
Winona (Minn.) Leader: The per
sistency with which eastern democrats
are urging the nomination of Grovei
Cleveland for president indicates one
of two things: they are either entirely
ignorant of the extreme unpopularity
of Cleveland in the west, or are forc
ing him to the front in the hone that
JJ they may be able to effect a com
promise at tne St. .Louis convention.
Carrollton (0.) Chronicle: Beef on
loot is lower than for many years; beef
is sold by the, trust at prices known
in war times. The beef trust robs
both ways. Our trust administration
can knock down a republic over night,

but it takes -years "to waken up to

Van Wert (0.) Democrat: Some
democrats most of them plutocrats at
heart- love" Grover Cleveland for some
of tho enemies ho has made. But the
masses of the party, those wh$ are
democrats at heart as well as by par
tisan affiliation, they distrust him for
many of the friends he has made.
Wayne (Neb.) Democrat: "No peo
ple ever benefited another people
more than we have benefited the Fili
pinos by taking possession of the isl
ands," says President Roosevelt. Cor
rect! We put nearly all the miserable
devils to sleep, and what is more ben
eficial than a good,. long and uninter
rupted snooze?
Logan (Utah) Journal: President
Roosevelt may have offended Wall
street and incurred the enmity of the
trusts in times past, but ho has
brought forth fruits meet for repent
ance and proved that his utterances in
this direction in times past, were mere
Jy bluster calculated to tickle the ears
of the populace.
Hamlin (W. Va.) Monitor: What we
need in politics and also in the vastly
more important and more numerous
stations of private life is not rich men,
or poor men, or well-off men, but
honest, intelliment men, too intelligent
to be misled, too honest to be bribed,
even by their own immediate interests,
be those interests great or small.
Steubenville (O.) Gazette: Our good
friends who yearn for the republicaui
zation of tho democratic party may
think they, are playing very fine poli
tics, but they are - asking something
the people won't stand for, no matter
how alleged leaders may attempt to
mislead them into turning the party
over into the hands of those who
betrayed it in 1896 and 19Q0.
Wabasha (Minn.) Herald: The
word "reorganize" has a delicious
sound to the ears of a gold democrat.
He thinks he sees necessity for reor
ganization on all -sides, at all times.
Reorganization is his cure for all ilia.
-In fact ho is fully as strong a reor
ganizer now as he was a disorganizer
a few years ago, and as he will bo,
in all likelihood, a few months hence.
Albion (Mich.) Mirror: The han-J-ful
of bolters who sought to reorgan
ize the democratic party and force
Grover Cleveland upon nearly seven
millions of voters who stood by the
guns in 1896 and 1900, have about
given up the attempt. The doors of
the democratic party are open and
they are welcome to come in, but it
is asking too much to expect the party
to go to them.
Hastings (Mich.) Journal. The
pretense that we need a great navy
for the maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine is an unmitigated lie. A
great navy is wanted because of our
possession of the Philippines and our
entrance upon the dangerous position
of "a great world power" in the sense
that Great Britain, Germany, Russia
and France are "great world powers."
They are "great world powers" be
cause they have great armies and na
vies. The United States under demo
cratic rule was great in its Tree in
stitutions and the magnificent asylum
it offered to the oppressed of all the
Caucasian nations. God help us, it is
different now.
Troy (O.) Democrat: Upon what
theory are these democratic traitori,
or reorganizers, to be put in command
of the party of the people in the year
1904? For eight years they have been
acting as spies and traitors to aid
tho republican party so that their
friends in Wall street should not be
disturbed. And now they havo tho
audacity to demand the leadership in
the great battle of 1904. But if tho
people of tho United States guard their
intorests they will not place them in
tho hands of tho reorganizers, but will
put the democratic cause in charge ot
true friends of the country.
Minden (Neb.) Courlor: If tho tar
iff was an issue now, republican edi
tors would bo a little cautious about
proclaiming the tariff hns nothing to
do with the formation of trusts. Tho
tariff on wood pulp Is wholly respon
sible for the high price of print paper
and every republican editor knows
it It is true, trusts can and are
formed where the tariff is of no con
sequence, but this does not argue that
the tariff is not an important factor
in forming and sustaining trusts.
Red Wing (Minn.) Argus: Tho
hopso has unanimously instructed tho
administration to investigate tho beef
trust. Secretary Cortelyou, to whoso
department it belongs, will begin work
cheerfully as soon as congress pro
vides the necessary funds. The fun
ny thing is that the congress gave
the administration half a million dol
lars nearly two years ago to prosecute
the trusts and Knox went after the
beef trust and put it out of business.
The present combination which an
noys is only its ghost.
Emmettsburg (la.) Democrat: It is
now proposed to authorize the Philip
pine government to execute- a legis
lative guarantee of 4 per cent per an
num on $40,000,000 of bonds for rail
road construction on the Islands. Let
those people govern themEelves, and
they will build their own railroads.
Besides, if we should find it necessary
to engage in railway enterprises, it
would be far more advisable to build
them and maintain them than become
responsible for the undertakings of
big corporations and give them all tho
profits.
Sulphur Springs (Tex.) Democrat:
"If the democratic party should purge"
itself of Bryanism and Clevelandism
in fact, rub out and start over again,
the prospects would indeed be bright,"
says the Pittsburg Gazette. Let 'em
alone, Bro. Lockhart; the democratic
party "purged itself" of Clevelandism
in 1896, and has been getting along
pretty comfortably ever since. Thty
"rubbed out and started over again"
that year, and four years later with a
sure enough democratic platform in
1900 polled 6,500,000 votes. Invite the
prodigal Clovelandites to ' return to
the old democratic ranch and let's
"rub" the republicans out.
Farmington (Mo.) Times: Ex-Pres-ldent
Cleveland has recently unbur
dened hijnself of a screed on "Tho
Democratic Opportunity," which deals
In generalities that cannot even bo
called glittering, and vague talk about
the "rallying cry of democracy." We
all know where Cleveland has stood
for the last ten years and it isn't to
his credit as a democrat but if ne
Jias anything practical to say, and
will tell the people just wnat sort ol
a "rallying cry for democracy" he nas
in mind, they might take the trouble
to examine it. His flummery and high
sounding phrases are like "sounding
brass and a tinkling cymbal "
Exeter (Neb) Enterprise The dif
ference between real and imaginary
prosperity is well Illustrated by the
case of a farmer who came to town
one day last weok and spent consider
able time telling his friends how the
republican party was benefiting tho
farmers because of tho high prices
they were getting for grain. Before
he finished his remarks he wandered
away from his text and was telling
how badly he needed a barn, but could
not -afford to build because lumber,
upon which he advocates a tariff, Is
selling for $34, or about three times
what he used to pay. .,
Reward of Merit.
A New Catarrh Cure Secures National
Popularity In Le Than One Year.
Throughout a great nation of
eighty million it Is a desperate strug
gle to sechro even a recognition for a
now article to nay nothing of achiev
ing popular favor, and yet within one
year Stuart's Catarrh Taolets, tho new
catarrh cure, has met with such suc
cess that today it can bo found in ev
ery drug store throughout tho United
States and Canada.
To bo sure a largo amount of adver
tising was necessary in the first in
stance to hrlng tho remedy to tho at
tention of tho public, but everyone fa
miliar with tho subject knows that
advertising mono never mado any ar
ticle permanently successful. It must
have in addition absolute, undeniable
merit, and this the new catarrh cure
certainly possesses in a marked de
gree. Physicians, who formerly depended
upon inhalers, sprays and local washes
or ointments, now uso Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets because, as one of tho most
prominent stated, these tablets con
tain in pleasant, convenient form all
tho really efficient catarrh remedies,
such as red gum, blood root and sim
ilar antiseptics.
They contain no cocaine nor opiate,
and are given to little children with
entire safety and benefit.
Dr. J. J. Reitiger, of Covington, Ky.,
says: "I suffered from catarrh In my
head and throat every fall, with stop
page of the nose and irritation In the
throat affecting my voice and often
extending to the stomach, cauBing
catarrh of the stomach. I bought a
fifty-cent package of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at my druggist's, carried them
in my pocket and used them falthfuliy,
and the way in which they cleared my
head and tnroat was certainly re
markable. I had no catarrh last win
ter and spring and consider myself
entirely free from any catarrhal trou
ble." Mrs. Jerome Ellison of Wheeling,
W. Va., writes: "I suffered from
catarrh nearly my whole life and last
winter my two children also suffered
from catarrhal colds and sore throat
so much they were out of school a
largo portion of the winter. My
brother who was cured of catarrhal
deafness by U3ing Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets urged me to try them so much
that I did so and am truly thankful
for what they have done for mysolf
and my children. I always keep a
box of the tablets In tho house and at
tho first appearance of a cold or eoro
throat we nip it in the bud and ca
tarrh is no- longer a household af
fliction with us.'
Full sized packages of Stjart's Ca
tarrh Tablets are sold for fifty cents
at all druggists.
Send for book on cause and cure of
catarrh mailed free. Address, F. A.
