In his call for the Democratic ma
tiOnsl convention to meet in Chicago
on July 2, Chairman HarEity gets in a
sentence that is likely to start stsm-
pede toward the Democratic ranks.
He says: "All Democratic congerVs-
tive citizens of the United States ire
spectiVe of past political associations
and differences, who can unite with
us in the effort for pure, economical
and constitutional government, are
cordially invited to join u.s." Pure,
economical and constitutional, is good

land fall off the Presidential stool.

SOME of the self-appointed guardians

nothing left of the party but an organ

The old soldiers of this country are
not beggsrs, and do not want to be
considered so. Most of them would
rather earn $50 a month than to have
that much given them. And many a
one Of them who is now idle would be
earning more than he is getting as a
pension if things were as they should
be In this great, rich country of ours.
Congressman who are given to the
making of windy speeches on the sub
ject of pensions would do well to turn
their energies toward improving the
general condition Of our industries,
and to paying the old soldiers what
they were swindled out of during the
war by Congressional manipulstions in
the interest of the bondholders and
gold gamblers. This suggestion is not

So FAR as electing a Republican
Senator is concerned, if such thing is
possible, it doesn't make much differ
ence whether it is John J. Ingalls,,
Ralph Burton, Sam VandiVert, Jack
Thompson, Jim Smith, Bill Doolin or
the devil. Not that there are no Re-
publicsns fit for the position, but that
the party long ago ceased to stand for
anything. And the man who is elected
by party without a well,defned prin-
ciple represents nothing but his own
sweet will and the office-seeking fra
ternity.

Mr.. JOurRGI?-P -PledsdDtOR Herald
Well, they are not going to elect Populista
our dear friend Kansas tried that. Tht
people Of this State once said: "The Repub

There were only two classes Of people
that were sadly disappointed at the re-
suit Of the change from q Republican
to PopuliSt State governmental
who expected to profit largely by the
change, and those who thought new
party administration should be abso.
lutely perfect. We cannot say what
allied the editor of the State Journal,
but he is certainly too experienced a
man to belong to the latter class.
But really, such criticism of the
POpulists at this stage Of the game is
too silly. 1t is generally conceded that
the Populists saved the people of the
State at least half a million dollars,
taking four years Of the Humphrey
administration as the basis of compar-
ison. Now, If the present sdministrs.
tlon profits by the example and does as
well as the Populists, certainly the
PopuliSts must have some credit for
setting the example.
So far as financial matters are con.
Cerned, the State Journal will yet be
compelled to admit that the present
administration is very expensive one
compared with the preceding one.
Then let the Journal, if 1t wishes to
do 80, make comparison between the
personal characters of the men in the
two administrations.
The Populists never elected a man
Governor who began his official career
by ordering money paid out of the
treasury for unlawful purposes.
The PopuliSts never elected man
Attorney General who could not get
two.thirds of the votes of his own
party In his own county for County
Attorney, because of his incompetency.
The Populists never elected a man
to State office who made a spectacle
of himself by being drunk on the
streets.

clothing was caught by the main shaft and
his body was whrcd around the shafting
several times before the machinery could be
stopped
Mcdonald displayed great presence of
mind before the belt was thrown or the
shaft wheel by a workman. Every time his
body went over the shartuq he lowered his
head, and thus saved it from being dashed
against the tmher- above. Had he lost con-
troll of himself he would have been instantly
killed on the first revolution and the subsc-
Quent turns would have mashed his head to
a Jelly. His clothing was torn into shreds
and his body was considerably bruised, but
he was able to walk from the colliery to the
electric railway terminus on South Main
street, where he boarded a car for his home
He refused to enter an ambulance.
