Rule
Uke the maa who iiiaue It an invari-
able rule of his life to take a bath
once a year whether he needed it or
not, it is a good plan for every read-
er of THE NEWS to own a copy of
the great "BOOK OF THE BUILD-
ERS" whether he needs it or not.
As a matter of fact it will not take
you long to discover whether you
need it. Our own opinion is that
you will need it just as soon as you
have finished the first page of the
first Section. To succeed in this
world it is absolutely necessary to
keep pace with Progress. The
"BOOK OF THE BUILDERS" is the
record of the progress of the world
in every country up to the year 1894
and every live American needs such
a book.
You may or may not be interested
in Art. In either case it is no argu-
ment against your purchase that you
are securing the greatest compila-
tion of the Original Work of Ameri-
can Artists ever made in this coun-
try.
Do you value an encyclopaedia?
The "BOOK OF THE BUILDERS" is
more modern than any encyclopaedia
that is published. Are you interest-
ed in Education? This great book
is more instructive than any other
book of this century.
Of course we are assuming that
you want to be successful in life;
that you want to keep in touch with
the latest ideas and facts. If you
prefer not to advance with the times
it will be very easy to have your wish
gratified by neglecting to own a copy
of the "BOOK OF THE BUILDERS."
WINES.
In the purchase of wines consuimer9 cam
not be too particular in procuring the poire
and unadulterated artidle. A great many
dealers will sell a deleterious wine to the
trade, little caring1 what the consequences
I will be to the consumer, hence R is the
duty of the retailer to handle the product
| o an established distiller.
We are pleased p state that ^
oureu the so5e agency -off the cellwbrated,
Napa Valley Wine Co. of California, which
produces the following kinds of wines:
Clarets, Zinfandcl, Cabernet,
Angelica, Port, Reisllns,
Sherry, Hock, Catawba.
Private stock fsOld only in cases]. Their
fine Brandies can not be excelled, Ask
your grocer or your druggist for this wine.

"It would be a cowardly evasion of truth
to attempt to eorocaail t'he fact that the
democratic pairty .has Punched a onsls in
.its 111,.story that threatfns its welfare If
not 'its life. Within tih» party councils I
■wiamt the voice of reoriiiiniatton ,|iu.-ihed at

in c-ungiress to agiree ulijn the very best
measure of 'tariff reforrti it .lis .po-ts'ble to
pa'ss and make It the larf of tlhe -laind wit'h-
out further dejay.
"By an explicit resolution in its last plat-
form the democratic pwty is committed to
'the use of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country and to the
'coinage of both without discrimination '
but it IS expressly declared that 'the dollar
unit of both metals mist be of equal in-
trinsic and exchangealde value or be ad-
Justed through international agreement or
such safeguards of legislation as will in-
sure the parity of (he two metals.' To my
own mind the unqualltel language of the
plunk requires affirmaive action 011 the
part of the representatives of the Dartv bv
which it was adopted.
"There was and is a subject which I am
glad to say '.s not a poltical Issue between
any of the great paxtiei of the country of
grave importance to thr welfare of t'he'na-
tion. I refer, as you vill surmise, to the
unpreeedeted troubles it labor circles dur-
ing the last few months. 1 know, too that
every one of these men who is an. 'adult
citizen of the United Stites Is clothed with
precisely the same powtr under the connti-
tut'Ions of the states ant the nation to help
mold and cause to be etecuted the laws of
the land that is possetsed by t?be hauu'h-
tiest millionaire that ever cast a vote and
I believe as firmly as 1 believe in my exist-
ence that if these organizations are -to be
preserved and continue to be of the least
practical benefit to tleir members they
must never violate the laws nor instigate
or aid or abet others to do so. With everv
loyal citizen of the land who is a loyal
friend of its laborers. 1 have been shocked
by the flagrant breach?® of ithe law that
nave characterized so nany of the recent
labor strikes of the country. I am st'ill
more amazed to know hat within the cir-
cles of some of these unions are men who
yet condemn, the autlorities, both state
and national, for intenosing the military
of each to put an end to conditions that
nave reached a complete stage of anarchy
and overthrown in sone localities everv
semblance of law and order. If these men
are not bereft of reason they must bv tills
time realize that 'the strike' as conducted
n many places 'in the lecent past is revo-
lution, is anarchy, is th; incipient stage of
civil war. It is vain to assert that the
scenes of riots, incendia"ism and bloodshed
we have witnessed are not the work of
members of any of the unions, but instead
is 'that of the lawless element of the cities
in wh ch they occurred. If this is literallv
true it can not relieve ihe unions in ques-
IL°ni ?£ «the responsibility for conditions
their own acts maue possible and
, buit for such act*' would never have
existed.
"There is another phase of this question
?! .Jm™easurable importance to individuals.
It is the question of the inherent right or
wrong of what some labor leaders term a
sympathetic strike, and forcibly presented
* .1 "Hman strikers. The sympathetic
strike must go or the unions that engage in
it will be destroyed and with it must go
toreverjthe scenes of riot and carnage that
have characterized so many strikes or or-
ganizations responsible for them will be
gfound to dust under the iron heel of a
renewed public sentiment. It Is the duty
of the democratic party to continue to la-
bor for better government in state ami
nation alike, to be true to itself, true to
its principles and loyal alway« to the best
interests, t'he highest possible good of tie*

STWR'ING DAY AT CMAiNDUEIR.
Guthrie, Ok„ Aug. l.-»Elmer Lucas, the
unfortunate member of the Cook gang
who robbed the Chandler bank, and who
was left behind by his fellows In crime,
had to be removed to the United States
jail in this city this morning to prevent
lynching. The jail at Chandler was sur-
rounded by infuriated cltzlens last night,
but they were repulsed by a strong guard,
who had been obtained for the occasion!
While the citizens were preparing for an-
other attack Lucas was hurried from the
jail by a secret passage and brought here
There is still talk of summary Justice
being meted out, 'but it te thought Lucas
is now secure.
While resisting arrest to-day Hilly Baker
was shot and killed by a United Stifles
deputy sheriff.
A large posse of ofllcem are now in
pursuit of the robbers, who have been
joined by several other members of the
gang and are fortified in the Creek coun-
try. Their capture seems doubtful, as they
are acquainted better than their pursuers
with the country.

Washington. Aug. l.-A brief cablegram
announcing the arrival of the United States
steamship Monacacy at Nagasaki, Japan,
received by Secretary Herbert to-day, It
the only official news from the seat of
war that has come to the government from
its representatives In China and Japan,
and the surmise that official dispatches
ate being obstructed purposely now
amounts to conviction.
The Monacacy was at Cheanulpo, Corea,
with ihe Baltimore, and It Is supposed
that she ran over to Nagasaki for coal
and supplies.
It it thought here that the act of Japan
In officially notifying the British govern-
ment of the existence of a state of war
between Japan and China wan precipitated
'by the Kow Shung Incident, and, had such
declaration preceded the sinking of the
ship, Japan would have incurred the lia-
bility to Great Britain and ,been obliged
to apologize.
In effect that notice is equivalent to a
declaration of war, or at least It Imposes
the same obligations upoi^ fort-lgn nations.
The United States, for Instance, can send
to either China or Japan arms and muni-
tions of war and supplied, but they must

THE JAPAiNiESE SIDE.
Washington, Aug. l.-The official of the
Japanese legation to-day expressed him-
K as much pleased that his government
had made an official statement of the difli-
eulttes which Immediately preceded hos-
tilities Ibetween China and Japan. It would
show to the world, he believed, tlhat Japan
had not acted except on great provocation,
and then only in self-defense and to pre-
vent China from gaining any points of ad-
vantage. The deel«rark»n by Japan that
the threatened Ohlnese advance would be
regarded as a menace 'by the Japanese gov-
rnment constituted practically, though
,t formally, a declaration of war. Ail
the acts of hostility connatttiet, he salld
have Ibeen since July 20, fie date of the
ultimatum submitted by <3mna. For this
reason the opinion is held at the legation
that 'the Japanese government can not be
held responsible for indemnity for the
deaiths by drowning oif the soldiers on tlhe
.transport Kow Shung merely because the
(atter was flying the British flag.
