TO REPUBLICANS: We ae anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and work ing in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscrip tions of One Dollar each from Repub licans. To each subscriber we will , send the Republican National Cam paign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P O. Box 2063, New York. THE NERVE OF IT. Webster, defines - "cheek" to be "cool confidence; impudence," but this definition Is imperfect, says the Chicago Chronicle. , ' certainly cool - commence m a praiseworthy effort and based on' real ability is not "cheek," and "impu dence," in the sense of intentional in sult, is quite remote from it. Cheek might be more accurately de fined as "immodesty in speech and action, based on conceit and igno rance." . This is what it is in the ab stract, and if anyone wishes to see cheek in the concrete he has only to contemplate William J. Bryan. -A person might search this whole country over and if he kept clear of the lunatic asylums he would not find such a peerless example of cheek as Mr. Bryan. His immodesty, his con ceit and his ignorance are unique and colossal. Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, General Grant, James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland were all more popu lar at one time than 'Mr. Bryan, but none of them ever put on such airs, arrogated such authority and paid themselves such extravagant compli ments as he has. A person would have to go back to China and the mid- die ages to find his equal. , Mr. Bryan has ordered all the cor porations off the face of the earth. He has decided that the national gov ernment shall take over the trunk railroad lines, with their $14,000,000, 000 of property, but he "prefers" that the states take over the short lines. He has expelled from the democratic party every democrat who is connect ed in any manner with a corporation. He has not only expelled Roger C. Sullivan for this reason, but has threatened excommunication to every person who stands with Mr. Sullivan or is "afraid of him." He regards it as an insult for a convention which has indorsed Sullivan for anything to Indorse, Bryan for the presidential nomination. Mr". Bryan is the only presidential candidate this country ever produced who two years before the election, spoke of himself as the future presi dent. After decreeing the expulsion of everyone connected with any cor poration he said: "I do not want my party to be wrong in this matter. It is difficult enough for a president to do the work he wants to do when he goes into office with a clear mandate from the people." Yes, that is it. He does not wish to be embarrassed in any way when he is president of the United States Cheek I Nothing but cheek! It is the verdict of every thinking person in this country that only an excessively Ignorant or an unbalanc ed man would entertain such opinions of himself and his destiny, " and that only a shamelessly immodest man would speak his mind even if he en tertained such thoughts. In other words, no man in this country ever exhibited such colossal cheek as Mr, Bryan. This may seem to Imply absolute imbecility in the democratic party but It does not, because there is no proof that the party as a whole or any considerable section of it admires his conduct. All the party managers who are thrown in contact with Mr, Bryan seem inclined to encourage him In his vaporings and to accept his cheek as a mark of greatness, but that I3 natural, for most of them are featherheads like himself. They consider him a presidential possibil ity and do not wish to offend him This is to be expected from the men who dine with him, but the masses of the party are yet to be heard from and when they speak it will be evi dent that they are not accessory to Mr. Bryan's self-infatuation. Cheek Is like tight-rope dancing. It is fascinating enough until the inevit able false step and tumble occur. GOV. HARRIS IS NEUTRAL NOT PLAYING POLITICS Is Holding Himself Aloof in the Pres ent Republican Contest in Ohio and He Gives Out a Formal State ment. Publishers' Pressj Columbus, O., Sept. 6. "Yes, it la true that in my interview with Con gressman Theodore Burton I defined my' position in the present Republican contest as one of neutrality," said Governor Harris. "I shall, neither as governor nor 'personally, take up either side of the situation. This mat ter will not be considered in the mak ing of appointments nor in retaining positions now held. JNo, l nave not made any reauest on this subject to any of my subordinates. I have not assumed to in any way interfere witn their political rights or preferences in politics. I am simply holding the in stitution boards and heads of depart mfinta annotated bv the governor re sponsible for the conduct of their re spective departments, and leave to them the working out 01 tne question of minor appointments." Nearo Murderers Hanged. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 6. Cornelius Coombs and John Williams , were hanged in the jail yard here. Wil liams and Coombs, negroes, were mur derers of a most atrocious character.

BOURSE BOOMED S-lypln's Pronouncement Helped the Russian Market. St. Petersburg, Sept. 6. The firm note struck by Premier Stolypin in the official communication embodying the whole government program, with its warning to terrorists and revolu-. tlonists that crime must and will be suppressed at any cost, and to the court caramilla, on the other hand, that reforms can not be abandoned nor deferrea, met with prompt re sponse on the bourse, where prices were not merely firm, but were very strong, without any symptoms of arti ficial support. The premier's note not only stopped the steady decline on government securities, but started a boom in bank shares and industrials generally, some of them gaining as much as five points owing to the be lief that the announcement made by M. Stolypin 13 a prelude to better times. While the course of the premier is precondemned by parties in recogniz ed opposition to the government, in whose sight all works of the ministry are evil, business and financial circles, as indicated by' tha tone on the bourse, regard M. Stolypln's communi cation with approval, and their atti tude will probably be shared by the Octoberlsts, peaceful regenerationists and other partisans of the policy of peacefully working out the problems of the country.

Hostilities Suspended. Havana, Sept. 6. General Menocal, commenting on the situation in Cuba, remarked that "peace will be arrang ed or it will be Imposed" The general explained that he did not mean that peace would necessarily be imposed by force of arms, but that public opin ion would compel the insurgents to submit to the reasonable peace terms the veterans are offering in order to avoid further fighting. The Liberal leaders, however, continue to demand far more tlian the Moderates are will ing to concede. Meanwhile hostilities to all intents and purposes have been suspended on both sides. It is a good ; thing that we gain strength from our burdens, for It Is the only reward we get for serving some people. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT ELECTION SCRAP AIRED Vivian J.
