Hon. Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, is in New
York, apparently as a sort of advance
agent of the Bryan circus and grand ag
gregation of freaks. An interview with her,
or what purports to be SUCH is printed in
one of the papers there. but the subject
of her talk is not politics; it is dress.
There are indications in the course of the
reported conversation either that the gifted
Kansas politicianess was guying the in
terviewer or that that parsonage faxed the
whole matter and betrayed himself by his
ignorance of her local habitation. The lady
is made to say, among other things, that
her dresses are imported from Europe by
a certain Madame" of Indianapolis. Ac-
companying the article is full length pic
ture of Mrs. Lease in garment of such
singular appearance that out of considera-
ton for the reputation of the Indiana me-
tropois and OF its gown makers the re-
porter's statement cannot be allowed to go
uncorrected. Indianapolis disclaims en-
phatically the residence lin it's midst" Of
a dressmaker capable of perpetratinG an
atrocity in gowns like the one illustrated
Mrs Lease never purchased that remark
able creation here, and If she advises that
sort of thing and insists on having 1T, il is
safe to say that she never found in this
city a modiste so lost to sense of art and
comelness that she would produce gar
ment of the kind. Once for all, let 1T be
understood that Mrs. Leases clothes are
not an Indiana product.

The address adopted by the delegates
who left the Maine Democratic State con-
vention after 1t had changed the sound
money platform TO declaration for is to
is a ringing arraignment of that spirit of
Altgeldism and revolution which Senator
Hill denounced. The vigorous language of
the platform is as follows:
1t aims at the overthrow of our federal
judiciary, and at its degradation TO a mere
instrument Of party politics. IL sets up the
revolutionary doctrine that the government
of the United States is without power 10
protect the safe transmission OF mails or
of goods in Interstate commerce. while at
the same time 1T claims that our great lines
OF domestic traffic should be under govern
ment control. The platform of this con-
vention distinctly calls for the overthrow
national government and the abolition or
our national Constitution. the safeguard of
our social order. The declarations of the
platform Of this convention are dangerous,
revolutionary. subversive of government
and social order, and utterly opposed TO
the time-honored principles of the Demo
cratic party. The honor OF our country is
as dear to US as our lives we would Ole
rather than suffer a national disgrace. Inc
honor of our great imperial REPUBLIC is
pledged for the redemption of its obliga-
lions.

the Jordans-are men who have led the
Maine Democracy for three generations.

No man ever believed that General
Grant. then President, signed bill the
provisions of which he did not understand
He was not that sort Of a signer. Conse-
quently. when. after his death, some sill
verite asserted that Grant had told him
that he would not have signed the coin
age act Of 1873 had he known that it
dropped the silver dollar, most people
who knew and respected him most believed
that the assertion was false. Now General
Grants eldest son, who was for years his
fathers confidant. has written a letter in
which he expresses the conviction that
his father never made such a statement
He held that opinion because he
had talked with his father about the mat

view to him. That story makes up the

A correspondent of the Journal writes
to protest against "the amount of free adj
vertising given by this and other Repub
lican papers to candidate Bryan" This
correspondent, like many others. has sim
gular conception of the functions of
newspaper. No paper is worthy of the
name which does not give the news of ev-
cry kind, unbiased by the personal or
political views Of its editors or of its po-
sition literary representative of a
political party. Mr.. Bryan is candidate
for the Presidency and the Journals read
ers have a right TO know what he is doing
he is prophet inspired who will lead his
country into an era of silver-plated pros
perity. or If they become his supporters
through reading his speeches made at
railway stations. that is a matter which
does not concern the paper. The Journal
has no objections to having itself read by
Bryanites; the contrary. it welcomes
them and promises them that they shall
have all the information about their cam
didate to be found in Democratic organs
AS to its editorial opinions about Mr..
Bryan and his party. they are another
matter. and not to be confused with news
Whether Mr.. Bryans friends are pleased
with them or not is a matter of indiffer-
ence; it is not expected that they will he
pleased, but 1t Is intended they shall be
based on facts that are open to all its
readers. The complaining correspondent
and his kind would probably have the
Bryan campaign practically ignored, none
of his speeches given. the crowds gathered
at the railway stations moderated, and
other accounts colored to suit anti Bryan
tastes. Apart from the failure to fulfill the
true idea OF a newspaper that this course
would be. it is strange that the grumblers
do not recognize the bad policy of a plan
of suppression BY setting forth the pro-
ceedings of the opposition in full and CIV
irg full value TO all its movements. the
