Stronger Demands Will follow Un less tho Transvaal Yields. BEVEN YEAB8' FRANCHISE LAW, It In Sulci If rtiiror's Government InMM VpoaThlH, II lit Is Wllllnu; to Consider Ali.V StlBKontlon Mmlo ty Kliclniul lloiiiit-illtiir ItM WorkliiK. London, Sept. 1C. A special dis patch from Pretoria says: Tho Trans vnal's reply will be on the following lines: Tho Transvaal adhore3 to trie seven years' franchise law, but Is will ing to consider, and If necessary, to adopt any suggestions Great Drltnln may make with regard to tho work ing of tho law. In regard to tho other points of Mr. Chamberlain's dispatch the Transvaal boldly stands by tho London conven tion. It Is said tnat the reply Is couched In polite terms. State Secretary Reltz, In tho course of an Interview yesterday, expressed some doubt as to whether any alter ation would be mado In the existing franchise law, but said ho believed a way should and could bo found to es tablish an arbitration court. As to suzerainty, "the least said the soonest mended," remarked the state secre tary. In tho forecasts of President Kru ger's reply there Is undoubtedly u large basis of truth which seems to bring the dispute within a muasuro able distance of war. Last evening the press association Issued a curious statement to the ef fect that as soon as the garrison In Natal had been sufficiently strength ened tho Transvaal government would bo called upon to accept a new conven tion, already drafted, which, while guaranteeing tho Integrity of the Trnnsvaal state, provides for the de molltlon of the forts and limits the armed force of the Transvaal to a number deemed sufficient to maintain Internal order. According to tho press association tho convention will demand that the diplomatic agencies be suppressed and the judiciary be made Independent of the executive. This statement, which realizes the extreme demands of the outlanders, must be accepted under reserve at the present stage, but It Is not unlikely to be a seml-olilclal hint as to the next move of the government should Presl dent Kruger provo obdurate. Tho morning paper editorials regard tho crisis as having reached Its most acute phase. The Dally News says: "We refuse to believe that Presl dent Kruger is so foolish as to reject Mr. Chamberlains moderate ue mands." Tho Dally Chronicle, which appeals again to Mr. Kruger "to accopt while it Is yet time and before England's terms become harder," says: "A refusal of the present terms will Involve the ruin of the state over which President Kruger presides. The British government have played their first and second moves In the game, and must perforce play tho third, and then tho fourth. If Mr. Kruger hag gles, the sinister conditions in South Africa will grow worse until a catas trophe Is reached.

Wasted to a skeleton; his luiiirs a mass of ulceration; bis death was hourly awaited by his doctor and family, lie was kept in a constant stupor with opium.

Mr. James soon after dismissed his doctor, ana uependeu on the Balm alone. His recovery was rapid and complete, and in February he returned to work.

Tlio Nolirnsknn Did Not tVIh to Knlrtr Into it Joint Dulmto .Mr. Coohriiit Vliroroiinly Dfiiniuipvi tliu Httoret Mtiuniromont or Trust. Chicago, Sept. 16. The exciting Joint dobate looked for last night be tween William J. Bryan and Ikuirke Cockran on trusts did not take place. Central Music Hall wbb packed with an oagor audience, hut the people pres rnt had to content themselves) without tho oratory of the famous N'ebraskau, who, however, occupied a seat on the platform. Mr. Bryan reached Central Music Hall early In the evening. He went direct to a room upstairs, where he was greeted by Chairman Kranklln Head, Congressman Oalnos, Ralph M. Ensley and other members of the pro gram committee of the Civic Federa tion conferonco on trusts. Mr. Bryan surprised the committee by declining to speak at the night session with W. Bourke Cockhan, In accordance with tho program previously arrang ed. Mr. Bryan explained that ho did not wish to let tho Impression go out that he wns to enter Into a debate with Mr. Cockran. For that reason, he said, ho would not spenk with Mr. Cockran nt the same session. Mr. Cockran wuh sent for and ho and Mr. Brynn discussed the situation. Tho committee withdraw to allow tho two oartors to settle tho dispute between themselves. Mr. Bryan asserted that ho never said he would follow Mr. Cockran with an address on the snme evening. If the committeemen got that impression from the conversa tion he had with them over the long distance telephone Thursday he said they misunderstood him. Mr. Cock run wanted to talk at the same session with the noted Mebrnskan, and offered to flip a coin to determine who should have the privilege of delivering tho closing address. Mr. Bryan would not accept the proposition. Mr. Cock ran agreed to appear at any time the committee desired. The program was then changed to meet Mr. Bryan's wishes. Mr. Bryan said he was nnx liius to address the conference, and re peated that his only reason for clvins Ing the program was to avoid any in dication of a public debate with Mr. Cockran. Mr, Bryan will speak at to day's session. Though disappointed In falling to see such a spectacle as Brynn and Cockran pitted against each other, the audience nevertheless enjoyed a rare treat, as Mr. Cockran was at his best, and his speech was punctuated with frequent and prolonged applause. When Mr. Bryan made his appearance at the entrance It was the signal for tumultuous cheering, which lasted un til the Nebrnskan had taken his seat on tho speakers' stand. Mr. Foulko, of Indiana, who was lu the middle of an address when the outburst occur red, put the audience in good humor by remarking: "I guess you came here tonight to hear somebody else speak." Mr. Foulke was followed by lion. Edward Bosewater, of Omaha whose address received notnbly close atten'ion from his hearers. The chair thfn Introduced Hon. V. Bourko Cork ran, of Now York. Mr. Cockran eulogized the labor representatives who had presented ar guments before the conference, de claring that ' me laborers who spoke to us understood economic laws better than their employers," declared "that In any assemblage of men honestly endeavoring to discover the truth she always nppears," and proceeded: Ihe precise question which we nave been called to consider is the effect upon the general prosperity of the community of combinations, whether of capital or labor. I hope to estab lish before 1 get through that there cannot be abundant production of commodities without an extensive dis tribution of them In the form of wages In a country wherein prosperity Is Lnsed upon freedom. But whether this distribution Is not as effective and complete as we might wish, we can defer consideration of that question for a moment, and we can all agree that there cannot be any distribution it there is not production, and that there cannot bo an extenslvo distribution unless there Is an abundant produc tion, If this definition of prosperity be correct, It Is perfectly plain that there Is no reason why a sensible man should grow excited either to tho ap proval or resentment at a combination merely as such. "Any Industrial system which oper ates to swell the volume of production should bo commended; anything that operates to restrict It should be sup pressed. Whether these great com binations of capital or these combina tions of labor operate to raise prices or to reduce them Is a subject about which there has been a wlae diversity of opinion, not merely In this hall, but wherever economic questions have been discussed. Some contond that the tendency of these combina tions of capital Is to cheapen the pro duct. Others say that It Is to raise the price of the product. "The test Is to ascertain whether the combination of capital flourishes through government or without, for you must see that any Industrial en terprise which dominates the market without the aid from the government must do so through cheapening the product, or, as it is commonly called, by underselling competitors. An In dustry which at one and the same tine reduces prices and swells its own profits must accomplish that result by Increasing the volume of Its produc tion. On the other hand, an Industry which dominates the market by tho favor of government, direct or Indi rect, cannot, In the nature of things, be forced to cheapen prices, because, it It should dominate the market by underselling competitors In an open field without favor, It would not need the government favor. Mr. Cockran then declared there were three ways In whlcn the govern menl Interferes In the trade of Indl vlduals. One Is by patent laws and mother by tariff laws. H continued "There U still a third and serious question with which I think we can deal and which I believe Is vastly more extensive in Us results than this tariff in the favor of trusts. And I refer to those favors which nre oxtended to certain industries or great corpora tions enjoying government franchises, which are none the less government agencies, because their stock Is owned by private Individuals. The worst feature of this outrage which Is per petrated against a certain class of iuo community is that it is shrouded in mystery. "No person can enjoy a favor nt the hands of any company enjoying a pub lic franc,ljjse except.flt the epouje ot anottior. n ft true of wy lhstanfp where govern men I tnvnrn an Individ list. I have said In many places, and I say here, that government cannot at one and the aame time be a fountain of generosity and of Justice (Jovern ment cannot create anv thing. Now, If government cannot create any thing, It has nothing of It own to lie stow. If It undertaken to enrich one Individual, the thing that It gives him It must take from another. Tha' government only la Jtift and lapnencen' which haa neither favorites nor vic tims. "What h the remedy? A simple one, I believe. Borne gentlemen have sug gested municipal ownership. Ijtdles and gentlemen, I hare no quarrel with the applauae of municipal ownership. I concede the principle of It. The gov ernment haa no right to empower any private agency to perform a function unless It be one which the government would tie bound Itself to perform If that agency were not to be found. The only excuse for empowering a private corporation to discharge a publl function Is the excuse that the service will be more efficient. The question then, ot munlclttat ownership Is a mere question of expediency. I won"' debate It here, for this reason, that If It be a remedy it Is such a remote one that a discussion ot It would lie a dis cussion ot the Interesta of our chil dren rather than of ourselves. "Now, la there any practical remedy that this conference can suggest thai can be put in force tomorrow by any legislature that happens to be In ses sion. My friends, It seems to me to ) a very simple matter. The fact Is. you would not have the task In law to denounce special rates to Individuals, that Is the law today. The remedy, then, Is simply to define a practical penalty, a serious one, and then pro vide for publicity, and you need not enforec the penalty. An ofllcer of a corporation granting a special favor to any person who has a right to use that possession on equal terms with every body else, ought to he held guilty of a serious felony." In the course of his address Mr. Cockran declared that "the manage ment of corporations hns been the blackest page In all history. And the public Indignation. unfortunately, which ought to be expended on the corporate management which Is re sponsible for this abuse, haa too often been visited upon the stockholders and the corporations themselves who have been the victims of that Infamy You have only got to look hack to the history of the panic of 1873 and the history of tho panic of 1893 and the corporate management that preceded that panic, and you find corporations wrecked and looted by those to whose hands they were entrusted. Now, all this story of Infamy and of wrong and of perfidy and of fraud has not brought one hour of shame or humiliation to those who have porpetuted It. They are walking the streets today, their heads high In the world of finance." At the close of his speech the Now Yorker won the hearts of his listeners by paying Mr. Bryan a well chosen compliment, which tho Democratic leader hlushlngly ncknoweledged. Mr. Cockran likened Mr. Bryan to a mo nopoly, and claimed he was a bigger monopoly as the leader of the Demo cratic party than any financial corpora tion lu the world. NU0QKIS"t)FNUWS.

Banning, a Hawaiian capital ist, arrived at San Francisco with a vallso containing J30.000.

When a weak, pain-racked woman is sud denly and com- pletely relieved of her misery it is like shaking off the clutches of a sad, pursu ing spirit. She escapes from her wretched, unhappy self and becomes a new self ; literally another being. " My wife Is up and walVs about a mile every pleasant day: slie feels like another person,'' writes H. Todd Iluguley, Usq., of Mount Jack son, Marlon Co., Ind.. in a letter toa Dr. K. V. Pierce of Duflalo, N. Y. " When I first saw your book referring to the cure of consumption I thought I would try Dr. Pierce's Golden Mcdt cal Discovery and 'Favorite Prescription,' as the doctors had given her up, And so I thought it could do no harm If it did no rood. " When I try to describe tho rtiults I fait to do so in worui, we snau never lorcei 10 inanK God for Rlvinjr us this means of relief. I know if my wife had not taken Dr. Pierce's medicines she would now have been In her grave. Yon can ask any one who Is afflicted thus to write to me for more particulars." This only serves to show that what ordinary physicians of merely local and limited practice will often fail to accomplish, may become entirely possi ble to a thoroughly scientific and radical treatment, based upon a life-long and world-wide experience with the severest and most obstinate forms of so-called in curable diseases.
