BRYAN will become a candidate i* 1904 unless he sees success impossible. , That settles it <fHE State Journal says that "this UgQotfy is reducing its national debt at the rate of $5,000,000 per month, and yet nobody misses the money that is paid out" Of course nobody misses the money, but if not paid out it would • be missed. The amount that is scattered throughout the country in pensions is enormous and yet if the sum was multi­ plied by five we would not miss it, for there would be that much more for the old vets to pass into circulation. It is the payment of foreign debts - that makes a nation get up and dust TAKEN TO THE COURTS. A tfSst is to be made of the validity of the new state constitution in Ala­ bama, which was framed and adopted for the express purpose of eliminating the negro yote in that state. A colored man has made application to the United States circuit court at Montgomery for an injunction restraining the state reg­ istrars from further refusing to place his name and those of other qualified negro voters upon the registration lists. He also asks that the "grandfather" and understanding clauses of the con­ stitution, under the provisions of which the negro voters are disfranchised, be declared unconstitutional. This is the only effective method of rtftfwlpng the enactments of that char­ acter which have become common in the southern states within the past few years. If the proceedings are begun properly, so that they can be maintained and earned ultimately to the United States supreme court, the findings of that tribunal will make clear the rights of the colored voters and what author­ ity congress may possess to protect them in those rights. If this proceed­ ing is begun for such a purpose, if it is handled by able lawyers,and if it is given the backing it should receive, it will prove of great importance to the colored voters of the south and all the people of that section. Congress is confronted with many difficulties in attempting to deal with the questions involved, and the safest and surest way of reaching action upon them will be to secure a determination of the legal points at issue from the United Sates supreme court When the proper course to be pursued has been marked out plainly by that tribunal, it may reasonably be expected that congress will perform its duty and apply such remedies as the court suggests. It would be well if at the same time proceedings should be instituted to test the right of the southern states to rep­ resentation in congress on the strength of the colored vote which they suppress - No colored delegates were admitted to the Republican state conventions of ^ Alabama and North Carolina. This fact has been seized by some Democratic aewspapers as the excuse for the charge that the Republican party in the south ia deserting the cause of the negro. This is to misrepresent the situation. In the states named the colored citizens have been disfranchised by constitution al enactments. The Republicans recog­ nise a situation that they are at present powerless to remedy, and say that men should not assist in nominating candi­ dates for whom they cannot vote at the polls. The Democratic position in the south is that the colored man must not •ote, but that he shall be represented in congress. The next house will con tain fifty members based on the oolored population of the south. Every one of these will be a Democrat and will vote against the interests of his non-voting oolored constituents.--State Journal, The Gentleneaa of Ser'a. Hundreds of seals made Nelson Is­ land, in the south Shetland group, look black as night as we approached. They disported themselves In the water and played upon the shore. Itf*wonder, not alarm, they stared at us as we drew near in a small boat We leaped on shore among them. Still they looked at us in dumb curiosity. I was as much impressed as were the seals and stared as hard at them in an answer­ ing wonder. "Come, old fellow," said young So- bral, approaching one of the large seals with outstretched hand. It edged away a few feet. "Move on, then," he said, smacking it on the back with his open hand. It edged a little farther away, look­ ing over its shoulder with an injured air. But it made no attempt to seek safety. A mere plunge into the water would have brought freedom from any danger. Several leopard seals were shot by our party, and their fellows gathered around them, wondering why they lay so motionless and staring at us with wide, pathetic eyes.--Inde­ pendent One on the Collect Mu. "Say," Baid the short, stout man, "1 want to know something. You know there are lots of djalects In the United States and lots of funny words, and I can't tell what is right and what Isn't. Now, for instance, one of those Reu­ bens from down east was showing me his turnout, and he spoke of 'that air horse' and 'this 'ere wagon.'" "That's wrong, awful bud form," In­ terjected the young man fresh from college who had been listening Intently for a chance to display his wisdom. 'Well, then," replied the stout man, with the satisfied twinkle of a success­ ful plotter, "I suppose I can't say that I don't like that air from yon open window on this car." "Oh, come on! The lunch Is on me again," said the college man as the of­ fice clock struck an even dozen and the pretty typewriter gave a convul­ sive choke.--New York Tribune. He Got Hla Price. Robbie, the beadle of Kilwinning, once had to dig a grave for the wife of a well to do but niggardly farmer. When all was over, the farmer as­ sured Robbie that he was obliged to him for the trouble he had taken. "Oh," said Robbie, "there's nae sense in that ye ken. It's just four and sax- pence." "Four and saxpence! I thought you beadles did this for nothing." "Oh, faith, no. I just ay get four and saxpence." "I'll not give you four and saxpence. I'll give you half a crown:" "Faith, Fll no tak it" "Well, If you'll not take half a crown you'll get nothing." "Very weeL," said Robbie, digging his spade into the grave. "Dod, up she comes!" Robbie got his four and •axpence. 8poke From Experience. Fond Mother --Now, look here, George! I want you to breqk off with that girl. She is very pretty and %11 that but I know her too well to want you to risk your life and happiness by marrying her. Why, she knows no more about housekeeping than 1 do about Greek--not a bit George--Perhaps not but she can learn. Mother--After marriage is rather late for that, George. George--But you said yourself that you did not know a thing about house­ keeping until after you were married. Mother--Very true, George, and your poor father died of dyspepsia twenty years ago. • The Walking: Fern. The walking fern has a most original way of getting over the ground. It bends its slender frond and starts a root by extending the tip of the mid­ rib. So it sets up a new plant and is anchored fast on all sides by its rooted frond tips, covering the ground with a rich carpet of verdure. The variety of runners along the ground is as great as the climber. All motion of the plant is a form of growth. The plant grows by day and by night but more by day, as light and heat are incentives to growth.--Youth. t ' ' •' lj|- I? ' ":s Mother "My mother was troubled with consumption for many years. At last she was given up to die. Then she tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and was speedily cured." D. P. Jolly, Avoca, N. Y. No matter how hard your cough or how long you have had it, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the best tning you can take. It's too risky to wait until you have consump­ tion. If you are coughing t o d a y , g e t a b o t t l e o f Cherry Pectoral at once. Three sires: 25c., enough for :in ordinary cold: 50c.. Just right for broucliiua, huarao neu. hard colds, et<\; g], moBt e ouomical lor chronic cases and to keep on liund. J. C. AY Kit CO., Lowell, " Counterpane. The word "counte pane" is a corrup­ tion of "counterpoint," which Is itself a corruption of the Latin term "eul cita," which means a wadded wrapper or quilt When the stitches were ar­ ranged in patterns, it was called "cul- cita puncta," which in French became "courte pointe," corrupted into "con­ tra pointe, counterpont," where point Is pronounced "poyn," corrupted into "pane." Days of Chivalry Gone. Wife (drearily)--Ah, me! The days Of chivalry are past. Husband--What's the matter now? "Sir Walter Raleigh laid his cloak on the ground for Queen Elizabeth to walk over, but you get mad simply because poor, dear mother sat down on your hat."--New York Weekly.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis­ courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid­ neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid­ neys. If the child urin­ ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis­ erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell­ ing all about it, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. Homo of Swatnp Root. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. Estate of Charles H. Granger Deceased.
