CATARRH V TRI-COUNTY FAIR Brann on Creed. I can understand every crime in the Calendar, but the crime of greed; eyery lust of flesh, but the' lustof 'gain; every sin that ever damnied a soul, but the sin of selfishness. liy all the sacred bugs and beasts of Egypt, I'd rather bo a witch's cat or even a politician ami howl with tribe; I'd rather be a tramp, and divide myhau 1 out with some more hungro; I'd rather be a mangy dog without a master and keep company with my kind, than bo a multi-million aire with the blood of a snake and the heart of. a beast, and carry my soul, like Pedro Gracia, in my purse. When I think of 8,000 children in Chicago with out rags to shield their nakednoss from the north wind; of the 10,000 innocents, such as Christ blessed, who die every year in the world for lack of food; of the millions whose cry go up night and day to God's groat throno not for sal vation, but for soup; not for the robe of righteousness, but for a second-hand pair of pants, and then contemplate those beside whose hoarded wealth the riches of Lydia's ancient kings were but a boggar's patrimony, praying to him who reversed the law of nature to feed the poor, I long for the mystic power to coin sontences that sear like salphnr flames from hothqll and weave of words a whip of soorpins to lash the rascals naked through the world.

The opinion of Colonel W. E McLean, of Indiana, who was deputy commissioner of pensions under the Cleveland administration, and who is now in Washington on his way to the G. A.

He said: "One thing is certain if the Philippine war is not ended - before the presidential campaign comes on, it is good bye to President McKinley. The war over there is fast growing unpopular. The policy of expansion is opposed by a great many western republicans, and the democrats ire nearly a nnit against it." Speaking of politics in his own Btate, Col. McLean says: "The Indi ana democrat who is not for Bryan and the Chicago platform is a man without a party, and his position is so lonesome that he almost feels as though he had no country.', The Colonel knows, as he was that sort of a democrat himself in 1800.

Something like this has been said before, but it was hooted down as the talk of an alarmist.
