mR. BRYAn.s ACCEPTANCE.
The Democratic Candidate Boldly De
fines His Views

The Democratic Candidate Boldly De.
fines His Views
although the formal letter of accept
ance made public by Candidate William
]. Bryan, occupied but one-third of the
space of that of his republican COM
Petitor, it managed to say ten times as
much.
Mr. Bryan at the commencement of
his letter takes his stand squareIy upon
the Chicago platform, and gives his as
about his position; no hesitancy in de-
fning his views.
In demanding that the expenditures 5
of public money shall be conducted with
economy, and in the interest of those
who pay the taxes, the democratic
standard-bearer is voicing the demands
Of the people, irrespective of party.
In his denunciation of the recent bond
issues, Mr.. Bryan likewise appeals to
the good sense of the American peo-
pie. And when it is remembered that
less than six months ago an issue of
these bonds was marked by a gross
favoritism which amounted really to a
national scandal, Mr.. Bryan's plain IL
VI liz HN~A ~AA1ASAO0o SlC44 Sfi41
be thoroughly appreciated.
In his reference to the national bank
ing system, Mr.. Bryan forcibly illus
trates bad feature of the American
system of ffnanciering, which but few
persons understand. This portion of
Mr.. Bryan's letter should be carefully
studied by everyone who desires to vote
intelIigently. 1t will in measure large
ly explain why the banking interests
are solid for Mckinley.
The hearty support of the Monroe
doctrine is another feature of the let
ter. which will thoroughly please every
true American. It is the doctrine of
this country, and Candidate Bryan's
reference to it shows that he is keen
observer of the hold it has upon public
opinion.
BY declaring his hearty support of
liberal pensions for those who have
suffered injury in the military and naval
services of the country, Mr.. Bryan re-
yeals that the interests of the veterans
can be safely confided to his care. 1t
will nullify the effort of some to array
the soldier against him.

Republic.

It has long been the complaint of
the masses that all legislation is in
the interest of the wealthy classes. Mr..
Bryan seems to have recognized this
concession to money by the law-making
bodies, and he points out the necessity
of protecting the masses in the free eX-
ercise of their political rights, and IN
the enjoyment of their just share of the
rewards of their labor.
During recent years the hosts of labor
have heard much about arbitration to
settle disputes between employe and
employer. In nearly every instance
these propositions have been snares and
delusions intended to deceive the work
ing man. Mr.. Bryan's correct explana-
ton of arbitration points out to the
vorkingman how his interest can best
be served.
The firm stand against trusts, the
demand that the government cease
trifing with the Pacific railroads, and
prosecute the claims OF the people
against them, together with the hearty
support of struggling Cuba are other
features which will add to Mr.. Bryans
popularity, and draw to his standard
thousands of hesitating voters.
Mr. Bryan wisely refuses to discuss
the tariff issue, because all refer~nce
to that question at this time is insincere.
Mr.. Mckinley knows, while talking
tariff, and promising high protection,
that even if elected there can be no
change for at least three years. AS the
democratic candidate tersely reviews
the situation:
"Whatever may be the individual views
of citizens as to the relative merits of
protection and tariff reform. all must
recognize that until the money question
is fully and finally settled. the Ameri-
can people will not consent to the con-
sideration of ahy other important ques-
ton. Taxation presents a problem
which in some form is continually pres
ent, and a postponement of definite ac-
tion upon it involves no sacrifice of per-
sonal opinion or political principles;
but the crisis presented to financial con-
ditions cannot be postponed -"-Phila-

Wen Applied-A Fable With A
Moral.

The shees-sAd the wolves once held
a conventiqMlto discuss and agree
upon the Ngestion of the double
standard r'oft food. The wolves, as
they always do, claimed to possess
the most of the wisdom of the animal
kingdom, and that they were the on
ly friends of the sheep in existence,
and many of the sheep believed them.
The shrewdest wolf of the pack Of
fered the following resolution:
Resolved, That we favor both
meat and grass as articles of food,
whenever there is an international
agreement between the. wolves,
jackal and hyenas to use grass as q
diet; but until such On agreement to
maintain the parity of meat and grass
is entered into, nothing but meat
shall be used as food"
All the wolves spoke in behalf of
the resolution, and pointed out that
the use of both meat and grass
would drive all the meat out of the
country. A majority of the sheep,
rather than destroy the harmony of
the occasion, voted for the sesolu-
ton. Thereafter the wolves lived
on mutton, and the sheep elked out
a mierable existence on thistles.
MoRAL-The wolves have since
been in favor of the single standard. -

ACCTDENTLY SHOT HIS
BROTHER.
Careless Handling of a Revolver
may Result in Death.

Late Tuesday afternoon two young
sons of VIM. Rowan, Frank and Port.
aged respectively Is and 13, were
fooling with an old 80 caliber revol-
yer, in the alley back of the residence
of Joseph Schaff, when it was dis
charged, the ball passing through
the neck of the oldest brother, Frank.
At the time of the accident the
younger brother says he had the re-
volver and that while raising the
hammer it slipped and the weapon
was discharged. DR.. Frank Harri-
son was summoned, and upon ex-
animation found that the ball had
entered the neck in front and
lodged just under the skin near the
shoulder. The ball was cut out and
proper relief given the wounded
boy. 1t is miraculous that he was not
instantly killed, for if the ball had
swerved from it's course in the least
death would have resulted. AS it is,
the wound is serious and the lad may
and may not recover.
