There is nothing strange about
the fact that some of the
Justices of the Supreme Court bare
delivered opinions on former occa
sions directly antagonistic to their
opinions in the Day case. That is a
way fusionists have of doing.
The SupremejCourt of Nebraska
has decided that directors of a Na
tional bank who sign the reports 're
quired by law thereby certify to the
absolutely correctness of the report.
It has been suggested that directors
of national banks in Nebraska’ will
hereafter direct. Many.banks have
been wrecked because cf the failure
of the directors to direct—to look
carefully after the interest intrusted
to them.
Not only political newspapers are
crying aloud that a day of wrath is
coming, and sound the alarm at the
rapidity wilh which trusts are form
ing to control the products of the
country, but so conservative a paper
as Harper’s Weekly in a recent is
sue among others things said:
“Never before in the history of
the country have so many powerful
combinations of corpoiations and ca
pital been brought into existence.
It is safe to say that the manufacture
and sale of nearly every article cf
common need and convenience is
controlled by a trust, as transporta
tion is largely, and as labor is al
most entirely.”
The United States violates the
principles of its own constitution
and of the declaration of Indepen
dence in its costly and ruinous ef
fort to invade the tomes and con
quer a people who are fighting for
their liberty and freedom, a principle
which was fought for so valiantly by
our fore fathers. After having under
taken to buy the Filippinos in the
market like sheep, we butcher them
like so many cattle. The horrors
of war are being realized more and
more everyday. It is a senseless war
conducted by the administration in
violation of every principle of our
government, and the end is not yet.
Every day we are shooting the Filip
pinos who come out from their homes
to meet our armies with their little
bows and arrows. It is thus that
we are carrying on a war in the name
of christian civilization. We are
shooting religion and civilization
into them with the rifle and musket.
dearest friend, I found her engaged
piecing a bed built. I had an inspi
ration at oncp; and this old saying
came to me, “what men hive done,
men may do.” To make a long
story short I asked for a pattern of
this beautiful scrap invention. 1
took the model, and not long after
started upon the delightful task of
piecing a quilt. I was told the
name of this quilt was the “Hand of
Friendship,” and as 1 fitted the little
squares together, with the black in
the centre surrounded by a halo of
light, it occurred to me that it look
3d as much like almost anything
else as a hand of any sort,
it had nothing like the
look of a hand about it, for it seamed
to be in clusters of twos and fours,
nothing that the ’east bit looked like
five friendly sociable fingers. Upon
mentioning this matter to a commis
sioner in the quilt line, I was told
that I was mistaken, and that my
“Hand of Friendship” was in reality
“the T,” I said why T ? and wa-
told because that was the name of it.
This caused me to ponder over all
the many things that were so be
cause they were so. But I can sal
ly say that this quilt smacks as little
of a T, as can be imagined. 1 have
shut one eye, looked sidewise, look
ed straight, looked at it on all sides,
but nothing like a Tam I able to
even imagine, but T it is, that is the
name.
I have been cutting squares for
some time, have a basket about full, 1
have made several of the beautiful
T’s, in fact have passed beyoud the |
point at which I usually stop in pje.c |
ing a quilt, I have about seven of
the T’s now, I don’t think I ever got
beyond six before I would lose
heart and lay up my work for a
rainy day, and that would be
the end of all my gcod resolutions.
But this time Gibraltar has been
passed, 1 am out upon an untraveled
sea, but hope looms in the distance,
my friends look incredulous; but I am
thoroughly aroused, I feel that the
“race is won, the soul of the racer is 1
in it,” ana around me sit my friends]
with fear depicted upon their faces;
they are anxious to see which willwin ;
the quilt or nie. I have no fears, the !
quilt fever has seized me at last, this
one will be finished, and as 1 sew in
the bits of calico, 1 am thinking
where I manage to get the pattern of
the “Rose of Sharon,” Lone Star of
Texas,” “Sun Flower,” and many
reals of other beautiful creations el
calico which I have seen. I think
any one who will buy calico and
make quilts out of one color will le
ceive just punishment.
I say get some beautiful sugges
tive pattern, cat you a paper pattern
pin this pattern 10 your scrap of cali
co, don’t let it slip, cut all around
this pattern, it may be a little differ
ent from the paper pattern after you
turn lose of it, but this will happen
with the greatest experts you know,
dont lose heart press on, and after
awhile the goal will be reached, you
will have a lovely creation in calico;
and long years after you can look at
the tiny bits, and remember just
where you wore that dress first, ani
here is a little check piece that you
had a bonnet or an apron like; and
here is a piece of your dearest friends
dress, you remember just how she
looked in it. Well such a quilt as
this is calculated to be almost an in
apiration when you once fall in love
with the work. I must have an old
time quilting when I finish and ask
in the girls to help me quilt it.
Very truly,
“Aunt Annie.”
COME SOUTH, YOUNG MAN!
The following piece of advice is
given in a recent number of Leilie’s
Weekly, of New York:
“More money has been made in
the southern states in the last 20
years than will be made in the next
fifty years in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, and the chances for
money-making in the south have on
ly commenced. The price of iron
for the world is now made at Bir
mingtonf Ala, and that city will
shortly make the world’s price of
steel. The south’s industrial evolu
tion, which began with the develop
ment of its iron industries, includes
machine shops and factories, steel
plants and hardware factories. The
3,000 new industries which have
sprung up during the past year in
elude fertilizer and phosphate works,
wood-working factories, furniture,
vehicle, agricultural and miscellan
eous works, textile, flour and cotton
seed oil mills, gas and water works,
telephone system, electric light and
power, and ice and cold storage
plants, canneries and hundreds of
miscellaneous plants. Nearly every
southern state has increased its rail
road mileage during the past year,
and every southern harbor has In
creased its exporc trade.* * * If
you seek new fields of opportunity,
go south, young man !”

Negro suffrage was forced on us
al the pointof the bayonet to de
gra,de and humiliate the Southern
people. This was not done for the
good of either the white or the col
ored race, but was to satisfy the
plunderers and scalawags who de
sired to humiliate a brave and proud
people and perpetuate themselves in
power. The crowd that was in the
saddle after the war as a rule hated
respectability and sought the eleva
tion to power the negro and the
scalawags in preference to decent
white men.
The Negro has given much trou
ble in Baltimore city politics since
the republicans took charge of the
city in 1896, and the democratic slo
gan in the present municipal contest
is, “Baltimore is a white man's city.”
Ex-Governor Frank Brown is presi
dent of the democratic association
and he is getting the ladies interest
cd, as well as the voters.

Thousands Have Kidney Trou
ble and Don’t know It.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so de
cepUve. Many sudden deaths are caused
by it,—heart disease, pneumonia, heart
failure or apoplexy are often the result of
kidney disease, if kidney trouble is al
lowed to advance the kidney poison in the
blood is liable to attack the vital organs,
or the kidneys themselves break down
and waiste away cell by cell. Then the
richness ot the blood—the albumen—
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright’s
Disease, the worst form of kidney to uble
Kidney trouble can be detected although
it be slow and deceptive. First, bj’ ana
lysis of the urine; second, by the simple
test of setting the urine aside in a glass or
bottle for twenty-four hours, when a
cloudy or brick dust settling indicates it.
It was for just such troubles that in His
infinite power and goodness the Great
Physician cans;d Swamp-Root to grow
for the benefit of suffering mankind, leav
ing it to His servant. Dr. Kilmer, the
great kidney and hla Ider specialist to
discovers and make it known to the
world. Its wonderful efficacy in prompt
ly curing the most distressing cases is
truly marvelous. You may have a sam
