Indications of a Laud Slide. The fallowing from the Examiner is ery live pointer: One of tbe mojt striking signs ot the coming democratic landslide ia this country is the number of influential newspapers which formerly supported McKinley and which ttiia j ear are giving their hearty support to Bryan. In New York the "World," which supported Palmer and Bi:cknerfouryrB ago, now espouses tbe canse of Bran with telling force, while the "Herald'1' and "evening Post," though (avorab'e to McKinley on minor issues, are giving the democratic ticket strong support oa the paramount issue of imperialism. And "Tbe Journal," which was a journalistic Infant In 1890, is now grown to be one of tbe greatest newspapers in tbe world and has never wavered in its stanch s :pport of Bryan. In Chicago, where the democratic tick et had no newspaper support in 1896, there are now three great dailies, tbe "Chronicle," the "American'' and the "Record," with a large circulation, are warmly indorsing the democratic plat form and taking up tbe light against im penaliem- In Baltimore the "Sun," which lays down thd law and the gospel (or Mary land, was opposed to Bryan in 189G, but (Mb year the "Sun" is giving tbe demo cratic ticket and platform a loyal support which insures Maryland's electoral vote lor Bryan and Stevenson. In Cleveland tbe old democratic organ, the "Plain Dealer," which left tbe party in 189G, ie bactt in the ranks aga.n sup porting Bryan with all its old time vigor, The Indianapolis "Sentinel ' wandered off after strange gods in 1896, but this year it has returned to its old faith ant is out (or tbe democratic ticket and plat form. Tbe Louisville 'Courier-Xaurual," whose defection to Palmer and Buck- ner in 1896 gave such a set-back to the party in Kentucky, is also back in line and giving Brvan its vigorous support. In addition to these notable examples of the trend of popular opinion, there are many other influential papers, such as the Springfield (Mass).) "Republican," the New Ilaven "Register" and others which, while not directly supporting Mr. Bryan, are vivorously espousing the cause of anti-imperialism. In addition to this great accession lo the Bryan movement ther ie the German press of tbe country, in which there ie practically a revolution of opinion. Quotations Irom a few of the more prom- nent and influential of these papers will show the general attitude of the German press this year. New York "Steals Zeitung" (Inde pendent, circulation 5rj,U0O) "The so- called German is at pretent awaiting de velopments, but it can be positively us sorted that the republican candi'Ja.es will not receive as many German votes as four years ago." "Freie Presse.'' Chicago (Independent, circulation 40,000)--Mr. Bryan received n 189U about thirty per cent of the Ger man vole, This year he will get from sixty to eighty per cent of that vole. Imperialism is (be paramount issue with the Germans tbia vr-ar. " "Michigan Volkeblaat,'' Detroit, Mich, Independent. "Over sixty per cent of the Germans will vote for Bryan this year because ol their hatred of Imperialism and trustB," 'Kansas Telegraph, " Topcka, Kansas. The majority of the German voters who voted for McKinley four years ago will oto (or Bryan this time. Anti-imperial ism is tlit) isBue." "AllBsourl etaats Zeilung,'' Kansas itv.Mo, "liiyan will get nine out ol every ten German voteB UiIb year." "Iowa Stsats Anzo'gor," Doa Moines Iowa, ' Bryan will get two-thirds of the German votea of Iowa." "The Journal," Terra Haute, Ind. "One-third the population of Indiana consists of Germans. It is our opinion that tho dcuiocr.itio candidate will, re ceive tbe large majority ol the German vote this fall. Tliis will be a gain of about sixty per cent over the lasi elec tion." Mr. Bryen disposed of the flag appeal very neatly in a recent'spsoch . "The American flag," be (ruly said, represents the purpose of the American people." And ho added: I went the American dog to come clown from theFbilippine ietauds in order that the flag of a republio might rise in its place. I would rather that we have two Hags representing twnropubllcs than one Hag representing an empire. If any gre publicau says that we cannot lake it down in lhePhillppihes I want to re mind the republican that our flag floats in Cuba and tli9 rep-iblicau Presi dent promised to haul down the flag in Cuba as soon aa tbe Cuban flag U ready to nee inlita place. A prominent New York papsr reftiBed to publish tho following from a corres pondent: - While you and other McKinley 'papers are so fiercely lamenting and weeping over the tact that there was no mention of 10 to 1 In the recent speech ot Mr Bryan, will you kindly inform me if a huntor wotiM be jiisliHe.l in watting his ammunition on chipmunks when he hid a grioly in sight? The Declaration cf Independence. Cbae. A. Towne writes in tbe follow ing energetic manner: Historically, as all the world knows, tbe Declaration of Independence ia the document in which :he American colon ists in 1776 proclaimed their independ ence and natiojality, and in which are recited the reas ns and justification for that tp. Considered as a contrioution to tbe lit erature of the science of government, it is a formulation of the go 'eral principles of liberal institutinne. Its spirit has been for a hundred and twenty-'our years the greatest force in the political uorld. It .has shaped tbe policy and formed the ideals of the Amarican peo ple It has made our example more pO' tent on the institutions of Europe than all other influences combined. It is to' day more powerful than all oar fleets and armies. Parliaments, representative governments, liberty of the prese, relig ious toleration, including guarantees of personal freedom, bear witness to it in the uttermost parts of the earth. To it are largely due the humanities of modern art and iiteratnre and the subju gation of science to the practical utili ties of every day life. The promulgation of it and the defense and exemplification of it have givea us our peculiar place in human history. The Christian gospel has forever .sanctified a small Itomao province. The a t and philosophy of Greece Have) dedicated a petty Euro pean peninsula to the immortal regard ol all mankind. Future ages will cheriBb endlessly the bequest hy ihe United eaten ui me principles inaiau men are created equal, and that juet government can exiBt ouly by tbe consent, of tbe gov erned. Twice only in our history has the doc trine of this great instrument been open ly assailed. It was the duty and glory of Abraham Lincoln to defend the Dec laration of Independence from tbe charge that it did .not apply to black men. Today tbe party that he founded is en gaged in attempting to prove that it does not apply to brown men. But by its language it applies to all men, and to ad mit an exception ie to deprive it ot Its place in the history ol liberty and to re mit the wbild to the old doctrine of force as tbe basis of'governmfnt, juetilying the divine right of Kings, the institution oi slavery and the ware of mere conqueBt and subjugation. womaift fm Tells its own story. A laugh is often a lie on a woman's lips. It belies the pain vrhich is tearing at the nerves. But the eyes have no part in the laugh. Their purple rings speak of suffering. There are lines too about the mouth which only pain can give. Many -women look for wnrd to a week, of such misery each month. Three months of each year are given np to suffering. It weakens them. It ages them. It robs them of social pleasures and family joys. Can there be any excuse for such women who-fail to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription? It has cured thousands of such sufferers.
