Whidhuud

If you want some particu-
larly nice Java Coflee, we hap-
pen to have an extra nice
quality just now. One of the
causes of bad coffee is over
roasting; itis often burnt so
as to destroy all the fine flavor.

This Java Coffee is the re-
sult of our instructions to our
coffee man, and a special effort
on his part to give us a light
roast. If you area judge of
Coffee, we belieVe you will
pronounce this fine indeed. It
is well to change and compare
sometimes. Take apound and
you will want another like it.

the late Mrs. Gen. Booth were held Mon-
day in the Olympia Twenty-five thousand
persons were present. The some in the
vast amphitheatre was an imposing one.
The dense tag which hung over the city

produced was added to during the fre.

simplicity than many a regal funeral can

THE PRESlDENT AT PITTSBURG.

In Very ‘l’lvovl.

“maven, Oct. lt.~The time of arrival
of the president’s party was not generally
nndcnlmxl by the citizens of Pittsburg,
and there were but few people upon the
depot platform when the special train ar-
rived. The representatives of the city
paper; were accorded a brief interview.
The president looked somewhat would
and remarked concerning the remarkable
October weather. He made thirteen
apaechcahlonday and upon reaching Wash-
ington will have traveled over 3,000 miles.
With one exception the president has slept
on his car every night since leaving Wash
lugton.

The president's train left for Washington
via the Pennsylvania railroad at 8:45
o’clock. There was no speech mnkingor
demonstration of any kind while the train
was in this city. The president was
warmly welcomed at numerous placaain
Ohio. At Salem, the last stationontbe
programme for the day, the crowd de-
manded a speech, but the president asked
to be unlined. His voice was indistinct
and showed the wear and tear of the day's
rflorta. The president has broken all of
his previous records for apeecbmaking.

was t rlnei speaker. mmsnas
audirnneWtha speaker when he env
tered the hall. In the course of his speech
Mr. Read said:
"Your votes will show whether you are
constant or inconatant in your opinions.
Two years ago you solemnly declared that
you were in favor of the doctrinaof protec-
tlon, not incidental. but. pmtectlon on pur
poor. The McKinley bill embodies that
doctrine and gives more fully than any
other law the American markets to the
American people. In order that it may
have full support and be :23“ to like
“2’1““ people, it must n recs ve
yo sanction, for your sanction alone will
give to it that stability which will encour-
age business and give us prosperity. I
therefore appeal to this audience to declare
again by their verdict what they did in
1”. One would not think that would be
neoeuary. and yet the sacred writings tell
us that when the good mart sleeps acitiaen
cl another country in about. sowing lures.
“When the Republicans stay away from
the polls the Democrats are- apt to go
there. You will find that your presence
at the polls is necessary for the inaugura-
tion of a period of prosperity. I desire
your approval by the reelection of a Re-
publican congress, because I believe such
an election will be conducive to the Inter-
catsof good government in this country;
good government not in a partisan sense,
but on that basis on which rest the liber-
ties of this country.

”It isagreat spectacle, that of agov»
ernment of alumni people, and the spec:
tacle is the more wonderful when the gov—
ernment is carried on by themselves. Did
you ever think what is meant by a gov-
ernment of the people by the people? It.
doesn’t mean a government by the rich,
for that was disapproved when the prop-
erty qualification was abolished. It doesn’t
mean a government by the most intelliA
gent, for that might leave you and many
others off the voting list. It doesn’t mean
a government of the highest morality, for
that would mean the millenium. 0n the
other hand, it does not mean a govern-
ment of the poor, or by any class, but by
the average sense of all, rich and poor,
all mingled together, and in my judgment
the average sense of all is the best govern-
ment that ever existed on the face of the
earth."

The speaker said there were 8,t’l(ll,00il of
people in this country who were not repre-
sented in the government, and continued:

the north?

thousand more votes in five of the southern

gross, and every southern gentleman who
has done us the honor to come back to us
for the purpose of governing us counts for
three of you. Are you prepared to indorse
this? Are you prepared to indorse title
when it is in defiance of the solemn adjudi-
cation of the people of the United States

rock this vindication of the rule of the

Did we marshal a great many voters in

as a mere jest, or was it a solemn act of
government’ After the solemn denim
tion of the people, arrived at with much
boil, difficulty and thought, there stood
the minority proclaiming itself ready to
die in defame of ila‘,rixllts,1and among
those rights was the right to stop the
registering of the verdict of the peeple of

tered and the minority did not die. He
