Bryan j m,.i, ne remarkable statement which! has uot received quit.? as much atten- tion as it deserves. It is this: "A republic needs an army of -".utt for TO.ttOO.lKKt people. An empire needs four times that large an army when lO.tKKUKJO population is added. This suits the young men who get fat jobs iu the army; but not the people who pay the I..""' a year needed to main tain each soldier iu the Philippines." The young men thus mentioned as getting what Mr. Bryan calls fat jobs in the army are second lieutenants and first lieiiietants ami captains whose pay is so meagre that the sug gestion of fatness about i: would make a horse laugh, says lhe New York -Sun. It would lie far more just to accuse Mr. Bryan himself of hav ing sought a commission in the I'nited States Volunteers .lin ing the Cuban war for the sake of sl.tmo a year ap pcrta i:ii.'.r 1o til'- short-lived colonelcy he he!.

Injustice to Mtsaonrl Cities. While the Assembly refused to tax franchises, it did not absolve the cities of Missouri from their share of the expense of the state government. The famous beer bill taxes all beer manu- faetured in the state and sold at home and all beer made elsewhere and sold in Missouri lc for each gallon of beer, in barrels or bottles, and 2c extra for each eight gallons or less in one bar- rel, and for each package of forty- eight pint or twenty-four quart bottles or less, lhe estimate 01 reenae ior this beer tax is $SOO,U0 a year. While the law pretends to be for the purpose of insjiecting beer to enforce the clause that aii beer must lie brewed 'of pure hops or pure extract of hops or pure barley, malt or wholesome y -as:. or r:ce." it is really nothing b-n a tax of which the Ikit iiisicc:or i- coi.cctor.

For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discover ed a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured.
