The rapid and sudden rise TO
eminence. the great popularity and the
wonderful influence Of William j.
Bryan have no parallel in the history
of this country. Two years ago he was
scarcely known. Less than year ago
he became a political leader, the
nominee of great political party. made
the most remarkable canvass In the
history of American politics, and
received the largest vote ever cast for
the presidency, with one exception. He
has not passed from defeat TO oblivion
az some Of his enemies assert. but Is
today the most popular and interesting
character in the political field. Were a
national election to occur today he
would receive an overwhelming
majority. The main reason for his
strength and popularity lies in the fact
that he stands for and with the people,
with clean hands and stainless charac-
ter, q patriot who advocates principles
which appeal to the people 8 sense of
Justice and right.

The Trust Gets ats OWN

From the New York World.
The senate Friday voted TO take not
less than $53, 241 900 out of the pockets
of the American people and present it to
the Sugar Trust. The Republicans
were able to force the bounty through
only with the aid of the Democrat Nc.
Emery, of Louisiana, and Jones and
Stewart. the two ancient Nevada
friends of the Sugar Trust.
The Republicans felt that they did not
dare pass this schedule in silence. So
in the absence of Aldrich Senator
Allison undertook TO defend the in
defensible and excuse the inexcusable.
But he made sad mess of it.
When Mr.. German proved that the
trust was getting double the protection
of the present tariff law, Mr.. Allison
could not deny it. When Mr.. Jones,
Of Arkansas, showed that the schedule
was based upon false figures furnished
by the trust. Mr.. Allison could not get
AfOAnQ H. w nCu MA w hitc cuONCd
that the bounty to the trust WAS at
least $50 .24l 900. Mr.. Allison could
only wave it aside.
Finally Senator Tillmsn reminded
Mr.. Allison of Mr.. Havemeyer 5
famous admissions-ths there are only
s5 100 men employed in the sugar
refineries of this country. and that
sugar refining can be done more cheaply
here than in any other country in the
world. When Senator Tillman asked
if these facts justified any protection at
all. not to speak of twenty millions a
year. Senator Allison could only STAN
mer and retire under cover of Senator
HOars burst of eloquence about beet
sugar farms.
But the Republicans made up for
their weakness in argument by their
strength in vOses. And the trust had
its way. And the forgotten man is
still forgotten,

The board of health requests all

and next November will bury whigery
in Tennessee, and over the whole
United States; and federal whigery will
be buried, trust forever.
The exciting question, between the
Democrats, and Federal Wings and
Abolitionists, is the annexation OF
Texas. The Democrats viewing 1t as
absolutely necessary to annex Texas to
the United States to shut out all British
and foreign influence from tampering
with the Indians on our western
frontier, and with our slaves in the
south and west. Clay with his federal
wings and abolitionists are for shutting
the door against annexation of Texas,
fearful of offending England, and Clay
to get the abolition votes-notwith-
standing Texas is all important to our
national defense and safety. How
humiliating to every true American the

the dictates of England. But Texas

Has no Use for Them.

Something of a sensation was created
in the circuit court room Tuesday by
the severe manner in which Judge
Evans scored the plaintiff and defendant
in lawsuit over note. The case was
that of Hull and Tennison vs.. j. H.
Early and John Cain.
AS will be remembered J. H. Early
was the candidate on the Republican
ticket for circuit clerk. He moved
heaven and earth to get elected. After
he had spent all his ready money fol-
the purchase of influence he pro-
ceeded to give his II. o. U.s. and
among them one to the first named
parties for 800 purporting to be secured
by two horses. After his failure to gel
elected he left the county and Mrs.
Early turned the horses over to Judge
Cain to sell and pay off notes at the
Crawford County Bank. This brought
about the suit.
After Judge Evans had listened to the
statement of the plaintiff for time the
drift of it dawned on him that the note
was in effect q bride for political
influence. He cut the trial short,
rendering a decision in favor of the
defendants and then proceeded to tell
the parties to the litigation what his
opinion was of bride given and taken
and that were it within the province OF
the law he would have both indicted
and punished. 1t is needless to say
they did not tarry any longer than
necessary. The Judge should receive
the thanks of all honorable citizens fol
his stand on that subject.
