MILLER, S. d., Dec. 23.-Word has
been brought here by one of the mail
carriers that man by the name of
Johnston, living about 20 miles south
of this place, became violently insane
last Friday night. He got out of his
bed and, securing hatehet attempted
to kill his wife and children. They
managed to get the hatchet away from
him and escape through a trap door
into the cellar and hold it down
against the raving maniac above them,
who, seeing his efforts to get to them
were fruitless, started across the prairie
in an almost nude condition. He ran
about four miles to one of his neigh
bors, arriving there with his feet badly
frozen and larcerated. He is now in
the hands of the county officials and
will probably be taken TO the asylum.

PUBLIC BEGGARS.
That is What William J. Bryan Called
WOrkingmen.
(E'rOm the Los Angeles Times)

(F'rom the Los Angeles Times.)
In his strong speech before a great
audience last Saturday night Mr.. Bou-
telle referred to the incident-an Incl
dent that is amply verified-when Will
lam j. Bryan, then a member of Con-
gress, angrily broke out, during a ses-
sion of the House Ways and Means
Committee, on the protection of the
glass industry, with insults both to the
manufacturers and the Workingmen in
that industry.
The incident is thus described by the
New York Mail and Express:
1t is important to keep in mind at this
time, when Mr.. Bryan is appealing with
fearful earnestness for the votes Of the
workingmen, that it was he who heaped
upon labor the grossest insult to which
it was ever subjected in the halls of Con-
gress. He was member Of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House that
framed the Wilson bill. During the dis
cussion of the measure several repre-
sentative manufacturers from Pitts
burg, accompanied by delegations of
their employees, appeared before the
committee to urge the maintenance of
schedules that would afford reasonable
protection to che industries in which
they We're interested. Fl. Sellers Mckee
ventured to explain that the abolition of
the duties on glass would paralyze one
of the greatest interests of Pennsylva-
MIA; whereupon, Mr.. Bryan, who had as
sumed charge of the discussion for the
committee, interrupted him by angrily
declaring:
"Oh, you manufacturers are robbers"
This brutal outburst so shocked the
workingmen in attendance that one Of
their leaders turned to Mr. Bryan and
asked: IF the manufacturers are rob-
bers, what are we?" To this Mr.. Bryan
Immediately retorted with great vehe-
mence:
You are public beggars, and so is
everybody else that asks for protective
tariff that will benefit him.
Mr.. Bryan voiced his real sentiment in
those words. He was an enemy of labor
then and he is an enemy Of labor to-day
Free trade and free silver are cardinal
principles of his faith, and the man who
favors American protection is even
more hateful in his eyes than the one
who believes in honest money
That Mr.. Bryan with this outrageous
insult to labor recorded against him,
should pose as the friend of the work.
ingmen is characteristic of his unblush-
ing hypocrisy. The men whom he called
beggers are the ones whom he now
promises industrial salvation through
the medium Of fifty-cent dollars The
manufacturers whom he denounced as
robbers are citizens to whom he now ap-
peals for support in his reckless scheme
to make times better by making our
money worth less. Fortunately, both
employer and employe know the man.
His work in the present campaign prove
him a reckless demagogue not less
clearly TRAN his record in Congress
brands him as a bigoted slanderer of
labor.
