The editorial contemporaries of Col-

his 1890 words In such profusion that
ther Is great danger of an attack of
Indigestion.

Mr. Bryan has attempted a mild de-
fense of his party in the ratification
of the Paris treaty. <HJs explanation is
on a par with that offered for the fail-
ure of all of his 1K3& predictions.
The work of producing a coal- miners*
strike was entrusted to the labor bur-
eau of the democratic national com-
mittee. The democratic managers do
not underestimate the valuo of dis-
content to their cause. ^ „. •
The populists reluctantly nominated
Mr. Stevenson In place of Mr. Towne,«
hut they neglected to provide him with
a notification commltt e. Perhaps they
feel that the less he hears of it the bet-
tor it will be for all concerned.
Mollle Lease 1s to stump Kansas and
Nebraska for McKlnley. Mollie was a
scorcher, even when orating on wlll-
o-the-wl*p theories. Now that she can
hurl the truth at democracy, the
demoralization of that party will be
complete.
Democratic howls of "empire," and
•Meatruetlon of the Union." create
only Allies and derision. The repub
lican party saved this nation from dis-
solution at democratic hands in 1861-
1864, and <*tn be trusted to preserve Its

In the future.
If Web Davis continues to gi ow hys
terical over the exposure of his deal-
ings with the Boers, while he was hold-
ing a government p>>Ht'on, his demo-
cratic friends will have to invest some
of their campaign funds in soothing
syrup to reduce the M url Hopper
to a normal state.
Day by day the chances of democrat-
ic success "grows small by degrees,
and beautifully less." The party and
its leader are in a state of despera-
tion. The New Tork Tribune, in
speaking of the utter demoralization of
democracy's candidate, t^ays that after
*22 I six weeks of fruith•« hyppodromlng
Col. Bryan shows signs of wearying of
the campaign Ishu • which he so eagerly
acclaimed as "paramount" in his In-
dianapolis speech. What other Inter-
pretation can be put on his attempt
last Saturday at St. Louis to cashier
the disappointing spectres of Militar-
ism and Empire and to carry his hear-
ers bodily over into the bogle world of
industrial monopoly and eneonomlc in-
justice? To give a place in h's St.
Louis address to the trust Issue as
conspicuous and exolusive as that al-
lotted itt Indianapolis to the "inn-
mount duty of forestalling empire and
re-establishing the republic was in It-
self to confess a derangement of the
tactics which ho had laid down Hix
weeks ago for guidance Jn his sec-
ond presidential canvass. At Topeka,
August 23, Colonel Bryan had told the
notification committee of the populist
national convention that though the
failure of the republican party to se-
cure International bimetallism still
kept the money question in politics,
yet no "eneonomlc question could com-
pare in Importance with the question
(the republic vs. empire) which con-
cerns the principles and structure of
the government." Beside such an Issue
had also said at Milwaukee, even
the Full Dinner Pall vs. the Empty
Dinner Pail lost Its immediate and
overpowering significance. "The slave
always had a full dinner pall." the
democratic candidate explained with
lofty Impatience; "the full dinner pall
•gutnent Is an Insult to the man who
complaining that there are forces
at work which means the overthrow of
the government that he loves."
In suspending his fight against "the j tlal
forces at work to overthrow the gov-
ernment." In order to concentrate the
attention to the "merely economic"
evils of the trust system, us he la
pleased to describe It. Colonel Bryan
yielded, no doubt, to party pressure of
an authoritative sort. It is not too
much to say that average democratic
sentiment has from the beginning fol-
lowed the "anti-imperialistic" crusade
with visible hesitation and reluctance,
and on a six weeks* trial the Issue
which the Kansas City platform mak-
ers declared "paramount" has proved
itself, in the minds of both eastern
and western campaign managers, an
unrelieved failure. Even Colonel
Bryan's extraordinary skill as a
rhetorician was unequal to clothing the
democratic protest against "govern-
ment without the consent of the gov-
erned" (in the Philippines only, «<f
course) with any shadow of sincerity
or conviction. The south, from which
tho Nebraska candidate must draw
perhaps three-fourths of his support
in the electoral college, has given the
"paramount issue" launched in Indian-
apolis, only a sardonic and contemptu-
ous tolerance. As the leading organs
of southern opini on have said in a hun-
dred varied forms: "There is
southern white man who does not
his heart repudiate the 'consent of the
governed* humbug, so far as
cerns any other race except the Cau-
casian, or who wl'l agree that any col-
ored man Is capable of self-govern-
ment;" and on Colonel Bryan's "easy,
honest and honorable" solution of th
Philippine problem proposed at Indian-
apolis no comment has been more
candidly destructive than that offered
by critics within the democratic ranks.
Only a day or two ago, for instance,
the Memphis Evening Scimitar con-
demned it as "to say the least, the
most visionary and perilous project
ever set forth for sensible men to sup-
port."
Forced to admit the liollowm of hU
first campaign cry, the fusion candi-
date conveniently forgot his protest

thing for the west to have communica-

taking at least two and sometimes
three days for a letter to come from

Jciatic or
Neuralgic
If you suffer with pain—any kind of pain—ket pin
mind that pain Is but a symptom, not a disease; that
what you must fight is not the pain but its cause > that
liniments and oils for external application are almost
worse than useless. To overcome the cause of pain,
internal treatment is necessary.-
Pains, whether In muscles, joints, head or elsewhere
will disappear when you purify and enrich the blood
and strengthen the nerves.
There Is one remedy that bas been successfully em-
ployed in thousands of cases—
Rfveumatism is a diiease of the blood) Neuralgia
Is the prayer of a nerve for food; Sciatica is but rheu-
matism under another name. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills tor Pale People can be used with the greatest
success in any of these troubles because they attack
the disease in the blood and drive it out. Proofs as to
the efficacy of these pills are found in thousands of
testimonials from grateful people who have t«en cured.

the trainer is on hand each 'lay lasts
about three weeks, and will discount
any of the Homburg and Carlsbad
cures ever invented.
At the end of the throe weeks* cotirse
during whit h the subject has gone to
bed religiously at 0 o'clock, after a final
vigorous massage, and has arisen at ti
or 7 after a long mrtt'ui sleep, u.n<i u'.so
has eaten of plain who . some food at
regular 4ntei vals, to say nothing of the
bathH, gymnastics and breathing « fcer-
clst s, she emerges from her temporary
retirement a transformed woman,
looking ten years younger and fre-
quently a quarter of a century prettl; r
than she did the day before the "beau-
ty trainer" took her In hand.
I have always thought a beauty hos-
pital, If it were properly oonductcd en
>i "tftur1 •' im 111..\> iiU-" u/uuid Lia m xrasitfc
flghtinc i'ne, or line-', I iniqht bay, I
fear nobody and am Juet a>- >'i:v that I
can beat the Frenchmen as that 1 can
beat the best pugilists in America.
When I was .n Paris I saw the
Frenchmen at their game. It v as real-
ly inter- ting and I studi -1 it. A. i
result, I ion't believe the most agile of
the country coul 1 do battle with suc-
cess against my lists. A;> bh< as I am,
I'm sure I can elude their most danger-
ous blows or kicks.
I've read and been told how these
men can deliver a kick for the jaw or
head with the greatest accuracy. Muy
be they can, but 1 never saw them do
it. One time In ; thousand, a profe:-. or
of the art told in . a face blow could
be landed. In the other nine hundred
and ninety-nine times the kicker Jeo-
pardizes his own chances.
The most effective blow of this style
of game la the shin kick. The fighter
who is about to deliver it awaits an
opening, with his left foot forward, ilia
whole weight rests on the other, and
when his opportunity cornea be throws
his left foot at hi: opponent's nearest
i ehin. The toe of the striking foot is al-
ways turned in and the blow delivered
not | with tin heel or hollow part of the foot.
! if lauded squarely, tt broken leg Is
tho result, and of course the fight Is
ended.
But none of them could be too alert
for mu with that kick. I'd avoid it
with a side-step and then a nice short-
arm Jolt on the kicker's jaw would
wind up the mill. This Is not guessing,
for I've done a little practising with
Jack M Cornnack as the Frenchman.
There art* Innumerable other kicks
which if th°y reach their mark, will
end hostilities. P.ut their chances of
lauding are so nlini thut it's hardly
worth while telling about them. There
are two more dangerous ones that aro
often landed.
One Li known as the belt kick. It's
delivered with the heel on the spot
known as the solar plexus. Either fool
is used, as In the cube of the shin kick,
the weight of the kicker re6tn on tin!
disengaged leg. Hut woo to the klckef
who nil MS# his aim with me. Id Jusl
step back slightly, irrab the kicking
foot and wheel the'man off his pins.
He'd land hard, too, you can bet, and
would surely take the count.
In such a manner I'd elude the in
savate performer s most vicious foot
lunges if 1 were Just going to stand
and wait for an opening. Hut I'm not
a defensive fighter.
When I get In the ring with one of
tho • fellows, I'll feint him Into a slot*
of bewilderment. Then I'd get close
ind stay there until my man goetf
down. They d forget they were to
kick, and their hand blow# I know
wouldn't feaze me.
I may be mistaken, but as I undor«
stand It, the kickers can bllng theII
feet at any part of their opponents
make-up. That'n a great advantage to
them. 1 should Judge, but when I sign
articles I'm willing to concede them th«
privilege ol biting If they want It.
liut 'I'vo toltl how I would beat tha
game and If Mr. Charltmont, tha
champion kicker, does not think mj
figuring practicable. I'll give him a
chance to eliow where I'm wrong., I'll
sail for the other «ide as soon as 1
Bt:e I can't make a match for the chain*
Dionshlo here.
