Shameful Waste.

The extra session of the Legislature
cost the State $4,000 and did nothing
for the money. The session refused to
re.enact the bill defining petit and
grand larceny, wasted its time and the
States money over fee bill which it
knew would be vetoed ,and enacted a
proposing constitutional convention
which could have been done with surer
effect by the next Legislature. 1t dod
ged the business for the specific trans.
action of which it was convened and
simply passed resolution authorizing
the State to 20 further into debt il it
became necessary to borrow money to
prevent default in interest. In fine
this lamentable Legislature made the
State pay 800, 1000 for a resolution al
lowing her to borrow money. 1t was
a miserable waste of money. Twenty
thousand dollars thrown away on q
miserably inefficient and scandalous

Palmer Says Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator John

candidate of the National Democratic
party, arrived here to day from Phila.
delphia. He is on his way to his home
in Illinois.
Concerning his brief trip in the East.

Senator tonight spoke substantially as
follows:
II was very much pleased and graft

ences which greeted me in the various
cities, and especially at the predomi.
nance OF young men in the organiza-
ton of the party. There is an evidence
OF earnestness of purpose that shows
great.fighting strength. The National
party is the party of the future. The
Democratic party is passing from the
hands of the old leaders like Hill and
Morrison, and the young men are
coming to the front. The Democratic
party organization is in bad shape in

carry that section of the country.
Mckinley will, believe, also carry
Maryland and Illinois, and think he
will be elected President.

A Nanquished Dignity.

Mr.. Bryan is not as thoughtful or
considerate as candidate for the Pres.
idency and stumping the country in
his own interest should be. For in.
stance at Philadelphia he scored those
who are supporting Palmer and Buck
ner and among other things said:
II am too dignified to advocate one
thing when I mean to do another thing.
(Applause.) am too dignified to nom.
mate one ticket for the purpose OF
voting for another ticket. l am too
dignified to practice deception upon the
American people and then ask them to
support me-"
That might sound very vel If uttered
by some one else, but what is more
natural than to ask Mr.. Bryan why
he voted for Weaver in 1909 under the
pretense of seeking to help Mr.. Cleve-
land. His dignity vanishes into thin
air. as does his sincerity when the
touch Of actuality is applied to them.

Financicr BRYAN.

Financier Bryan says: ut is no use
to open our factories until the people
have money to buy what the mills
produce. Well, if the people have
the money to buy what the mills pro.
duce, why should the people 20 into
the mills to work for money! This
astute statesman proposes to open the
mints first, and coin dollars of depreci-
ated value. How does he propose to
distribute them among the peoplep If
he scatters them around free, and they
retain any value, the fellows that own
and work the factories can pick up as
many as other people, and would prob
ably prefer to do than 20 to work. In
stead of working for dollars Bryan pro.
poses to get the dollars first and work
afterwards. No one can excel this
presidential candidate in the quantity
of wind he continually bellows out, but
when 1t comes to logic he has gone so
heavily short on 1t that the slightest
bull movement will bankrupt him.
