What Manner of Democrat is the
Pine Bluff Press Eagle9
From the Fort Smith Times Democrat.
August 20l

From the Fort Smith Times Democrats
August 20l
The Pine Bluff Press. Eagle must
have an internal ailment, else con.
stitutional defect. In its issue Of
this week It has three clear reieren-
ces to the Democratic nominee for
President, aud in each the green
mark of poison follows each bloody
thrust-bloody and treacherous, for
that paper carries at its masthead
the Democratic National ticket,
while stabbing it with every flour
ish of the pen.
1t agrees with Bryan that after
all, the President is only hired
man. but adds, that the Ameri-
can people have never yet hired a
man for President, because of his
gift of CAB. -
Does the Press Eagle call that
supporting the ticket?
1t give the main points of the
Thurston-Stewart controversy, in
which Thurston most wantonly and
maliciously charges VIM. ]. Bryan
with having been for years in the
pay of the silver mine owners, which
SANDER Senator Stewart completely
refutes.
The Press Eagle comments thus:
"And should they succeed, what
would it avail them2 It would only
prove that which is generally con-
coded, that Billy does not practice
law or eratory for his health alone,
and that he knows a good job when
he sees it,
Does the Prees- Eagle call such
compliments as that supporting the
ticket?
1t remarks in a paragraph that
the campaign managers think It
best for Mr.. Bryan to give his vocal
chords a rest, facetiousIy adding,
so do We
Iago might have congratulated
himself on such an exhibition of
friendship
In addition to lis original thrusts
the Press Eagle publishes also
parody from the New York Sun,
ridieuling Mr.. Bryan. The follow
ing is a sample:
Swim out, oh, Bryant
Swim out for everywhere:
Tear up the Unabridged and spread
Its words upon the air.
just chatter on necessarily,
Your lungs will win, we swear;
Swim out. oh. Bryant
Swim out
We think the public understand
that. meritorious miscellany is not
harnessed TO the editorial columns.
at the same time, we think the pub
lie can understand what constitutes
effective ridicule.
And over and above ali this, in
the single issue of the Press Eagle
of the 18th inst. there is a column
extract from a Globe Democrat cor
Irespondence which ably and vigo-
rously, though fallaciously, assails
the free silver plank of the Demo
cratic platform.
Now, we would like to know If the
Eagle is making a pretense
before its readers of supporting the
National Democratic ticket.
If not, why does it carry that
ticket at its mast head2
II SO, why does it plough into the
vitals of the platform, and stab the
Presidential nominee in the back
while he is fronting the enemy?
'I'd rather be a dog and bay at
the moon,' than such a Democrat.
Not believing in the platform and
not believing in the candidate, the
Press Eagle owes it to its readers,
to its conscience and TO it's seif-re-
spect, to run up the names of Nc
Kinley and Hobart and look TO Mark
Hanna for justification.

postant Questions Coming Up.
CLEVELAND. May This morning the
twcnsy quadrennial conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal church convened
In this city. Coming from the four quar-.
tcrs Of the Garth, 537 delegates will enact
legislation for the denomination which
:hcy represent The questions to be set.
Tied during the next thirty days are Of
vast Importance to members Of this de.
nomination. For years the women have
claimed the right to assist In making the
laws OF the church, but the men have dc.
MED them the right. BY large majority
the church at large has expressed itself in
favor Of admitting women to the general
conference.
-Four women have been elected and will
present themselves for recognition. An
effort will be made to scat them BIZ q d.
rect vote, although others cl aim that q <oto
In favor OF admitting them will not be u
law until ratified BY the subordinate con-
fcrenccs. Another proposition before the
conference Will bc the removal Of the time

stay In charge OF one church. Many city
pastors have opposed tho present fivc-ycar
limit and will seek to have It extended.
Still another interesting question is the
proposed elimination from the church Of
the rules against popular amusements 1t
is thought tho existing rules touching
amusemcnts will be revised Leaders in
the Methodist faith in all quarters are
deeply Interested In proposition for tho
election OF additional bishops to particu-
