RtrKUbNTflTIVe CONVENTION
The representative convention of
the populleta and democrats of the
Slith district waa held at Klpley
yesterday. Dr. W. H. Scott, of
Cushing, received the nomination on
the 87th ballot, there being flee can
didates In tha race. The meeting
was perfectly harmonious, although
ariuly contested throughout.
WORD.S Of WISDOM,
Bryan condensed many great prin-
ciples into a few aphorisms at l'opeka.
Those aphorisms will command the
admiration of men while the love, of
liberty lives. For tersenoss they
have no equal anywhere in the Eng-
lish, or any other language They
will become the household words"
in every land where inen love liberty.
Their wisdom is as great as the beau-
ty of their expression. They will ap-
peal to the better nature and higher
ideals of all men in all lands. The
following are a few of the many ap-
horisms contained in that great
speech.
SELF-GOVERN MRXT.
In a government where the people
rule,every wrong can be righted and
avery evil remedied, but when once
the doctrine of self-government Is im-
paired, and might is substituted for
right, there is no certainty that any
question will he settled correctly.
MILITARISM*
The army worm, which occaaion-
ally destroys a field of wheat, is not
nearly eo dangerous an enemy to the
farmer aa a large standing army,
which invades every field of indus-
try and exacts toll from every crop.
MONOPOLIES.
If a bad monetary system drags
down the price of the farmers pro-
ducts while monopolies raise the
prices of what ;ie buys, he burns the
candle at both ends.
HAKK MONEY.
The populists believe in an irre-
deemable greenback, while the dem-
ocrats believe in a greeback redeem-
able in coin, but the vital question
at this time, so far as paper money
is concerned, is whether the govern-
ment or the banks shall issue it-
TIH'STS.
The fact that the trusts support
the republican party ought to be I
sufficient proof that they expect pro-
tection from It. The republican
party cannot bo relied upon to ex-
tinguish the trusts so long as it draws
Ita campaign contributions from their
overflowing vaults.
IMPERIALISM.
Our opponents say that the world
would laugh at us if we should give
Independence to the Filipinos. ^ es'
Kings would laugh, aristocrats would
laugh and those would laugh who
deny the Inalienable rights of man
and deaplse the humble folk.
To these sayings of Bryan may he
jpproprlately added the following sen-
tences of John Buskins:
■ No mutter who rules the country,
no matter what It Is officially called,
or bow It Is formally divided, eternal
bara and doors are set to It by the
mountains and seas, oternal laws en-
forced over It by the clouds and stars.
The people born on It are Its people,
be they a thouaand timet again con-
quered, exiled or captive. The
stranger cannot be Ita king, the

A conservative estimate of the loss
of life Is that it will reach 3,000; at
least 5,000 families are shelterlesa
and wholly destitute. The entire re-
mainder of the population la suffer-
ing in greater or less degree. Not a

eo many, is left Intact. Not a build-
ing escaped damage, and half the
whole number were entirely obliter-

food, clothing and household goods

open asylums for women and child-
ren, the situation will be greatly re-
lieved.
