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.

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?
