Just been made an accompllce 10 such
a scheme. a Sioux City man adver-
tised through its columns that he would
give Il commercial course free. The
Bulletip, like other papers having it's
advertising columns for sale, but hav-
ing less regard fer its readers than
we'll managed paper should have, and
being singularly forgetful that the pride
OF Denison is in its own normal school,
published this swindler's advertise
ment. The scheme has been exposed
by the authorities and the Bulletin
warns its readers about the Swindler
in Limbo"
However this free education''
scheme is but coarse, crude work COM
pared to the colossal free silver ''some-
thing for nothing scheme which is be-
ing urged upon the people by Bryan
and his henchman. They propose to
increase the value of your farm and its
products, not through natural channels,
not by creating a larger demand, not
by raising the real value, but by the
simple and highly original plan of call
ing fifty cents q dollar. They propose
that the people pay half their debts,
not by the honest return of value but
by the same sleight of hand perfor-
nance. Like the swindler ON the
street corner or the Sioux City educa-
tor they came as philantropists, they
come as ''friends of the common peo-
pie" and they only ask your confidence
and your votes and the gifts of office
and they will give you something for
nothing" They have befooled many

corner caught many suckers-but some
day the good sense of the American
pt ople will find them out and then

The WAR CRITICS.

1t is we'll in forming judgment on
passing events to remember history.
Many of those who are now so clamor-
ously assalling the administration be-
cause OF the sickness and suffering in
the army were among the stoutest OPP
ponents to all plans for increasing the
size OF the regular army and the provid-
ing of greater military equipments.
They denounced all such suggestions as
giving evidence on the part OF the gov
eminent to get large armed force for
the purpose OF intimidating labor and OF
strengthening the hateful government
by Injunction They claimed to view
with alarm the tendency to military
despotism and hence they opposed every
move by which this nation would be
prepared for war. Then when war did
come and found the nation unprepared
they denounced the government for be-
ing so slow in commencing hostilities.
They criticised the authorities for not
getting troops mustered in more rapidly,
and then they found fault because the
various regiments were not hurried out
OF the local state camps and sent to the
south, and when they we're sent to the
south they still clamoled because they
were not hurried into the fever districts
of the enemy. They have thus opposed
preparation in time OF peace and when
the necessities of war arose they have
demanded that provisions be made
more rapidly than was within human
power. Now that the war has proved
such a glorious success as to seem al
most miraculous, and made it impos-
sible to find fault with the results, they
continue their clamor as to the means
used TO reach these results. They
claim more careful preparations should
have been made and that arrangements
should have been complete, and yet
they were the loudest to oppose such
preparations i'll time of peace and most
clamorous in time OF war in urging that
arrangements be made hurriedly with
out regard to results. There have been
necessarily many instances OF neglect
and error, and there have been doubt
less some cases of crookedness, careless
ness and stupidity. So tar as possible
investigation should be made and pun
ishment should be melted to those de-
serving it, but the wonderful achieve
ments OF the war, the marked success
which has attended its management,
and the marvellous wisdom shown in
the direction of affairs, should not be
lost sight of because of the clamor of
those who seek to make mountains out
OF molchills, and who for political pur-
poses, want the pesple to think only of
the mistakes OF war and to give no con-
sideraton to its triumphs.-Co

LET US INVESTIGATE.

The democratic party in convention
assembled has declared that the county
officials need a rigid investigation.
There was no need for platform utter
ance along this line. The democrats
have been in control of the county for
the past dozen years and ga close
scrutiny of the conduct of public ser
wants has never been made. They
have it in their power to do so at any
time and if the plank is not mere bun
combe they Will proceed to investigate
at once.
For our part we have not asked for
an investigation. We have been salts
fed that the present county officials
were honest and fairly capable, but it
seems that the democrats have their
doubes and we ask either that they
acknowledge that the plank Was mere
ly a vote catcher or else that they
practice what they preach and investi-
gate. There is no need for delay, there
is no need of waiting until after cleo
ton for the Investigation tn commence.
Let it proceed at once. The fact is the
democrats were simply "blutfing'' and
now that the "butf' is called, you will
see how quickly they VIII say they did
not mean it.

A SwINOLER IN LIMBO.

The fact that you cannot get some
thing for nothing was one of the first
lessons which my father taught his
children. lie said that the man who
made such a proposition was invaria-
bly, swindler and that the man who
was fooled thereby was in need of Il
guardian to say the least. Nothing
can be honestly obtained in this world
except fair equivalent is returned.
Nature demands this even of inanimate
objects, that for the joy of living, for
the gladness of the blossoming flower.
shall come the sere and yellow leaf,
the dropping crest, the withered pod:
out of which is TO come the manifold
seed of posterity.
DenisoM has had many proofs Of the
fact that you cannot get somethi, for
nothing. The man who tries it N a
coarse way is sent to the penitentiary,
the smoother swindler may escape by
flight leaving his gaping dupes standing
ON the street corner with their biass
chains held high i'm air. These sw,nd-
lers always pose as philantropisls.
They come to do great good to the
world, they come to aid the common
people. Ii you will but give them your
confidence and a little OF your money
they will, ont of the goodness OF their
hearts, give you that fabulous, long
sought, but never found something
for nothing"

 Rabbi voorsanger followed the French consul with a speech on Ihe Trinity of Political Independence, which was listened to with great inter- est.
 Warren Olney sent a note expressing his regret that illness prevented him from being able to deliver his speech which was on the programme with the title of Then and Now, and the president called upon the Rev. Dr. Theodore c. Williams to speak on the subject of "The Federation of the World"
 Considerable hissing was the result of pr Williams statement that the dinlomatic service of the United States in the courts of Europe is shame and a disgrace. American representatives in other countries have never assumed the proud position which they were justified and bound In honor to assume. The speech excited no applause ana did not appear to find favor with the audience.

VETERAN FIREMEN.
They Honor Their New Officers and

Pioneer Hall was crowded on Monday to its utmost by those who were fortun- ate enough to have received an invita- tion to the ball and banquet given by the Veteran Firemen's Association in honor of the installation of the officers for the current term and of the Native Daughters who. on the day after the Jubilee parade, had entertained the mem- berS of the association.
 Of the Daughters there were thirty three. three from each of the local par lors, and during the evening they were specially honored.
 From s o'clock until 10:30 there was dancing in the main hall, and during in- termssion Joe Marshall, the retiring pres ident, was. by Senator Sumner on behalf of the association, presented with a hand some gold badge in recognition of the members appreciation of him. The old veteran was unable to respond, but the ha ppy smile upon his wrinkled face showed plainly the qualification the pres entaJcn gave him.
 More than 400 persons sat down to the very fine banquet that had been pro- vided, and 1t was long after the hour of midnight before the orchestra played "Fome, Sweet Home.''
 The affair was under the direction of John Foley. Joe Satchbill and J. W. Kenny, the committee of arrangements, and J. Berolzheim was the floor manager, assisted by J. H. Riley, F. Terramore and B. Barman.

PRIVATE SLATE
Died Last Night at Camp Falkner From
 the Effects of Gun-shot Wound.

News reached the city at late hour last night that Private Slate, Company M, First Alabama, died at Camp Falkner at g o'clock from the effect of a rifle wound which he received at the hands of Private McClung on September 19 Since that time he has been holding on to life with won- derful tenacity, at times feeling well and strong, and at others sinking very low.
 As has been stated the bullet from the Springfield rife went entirely through one of his lungs, tearing a great hole in it. Pneumonia set in a day or two afterwards, but even then he seemed to be getting along remarkably well. It has been im- possible to remove him into the city, but he has received the very best attention in a tent at the head of the offers row. None of the funeral arrangements were made last night, but it is supposed that he will be buried this afternoon at his old home in Pratt City.
 McClung, the soldier who shot him, is still off on bail, and is supposed to be at his home in Knoxville, Tenn. It will be re- membered that he shot Slate in quar- rel growing out of dispute over piece of meat.

SENATOR MORGAN
Arrives in Washington and Confers
 With the President. .|

Washington, October 6.-Senator Morgan. of the Hawaiian commission, arrived in Washington today and called at the white house for an hours conference with the president. In answer to inquiries, the sen ator said that the members of the commit tee would meet here about November % and prepare and present their report to the president and congress. He declined to discuss the report or the views of the com- missioners further than to say that the published reports of what the commission would recommend were wrong in every essential particular.
 "Of course" he remarked, i've favor a territorial form of government, as Ehat was plainly the intent f congress as shown in the act authorizing the creation of the commission, but what particular recommend cannot now be stated'
 The senator in speaking of the Philippine question, said that in his opinion the United States should retain the whole group of islands, giving the natives the right to govern themselves within certain limitations and under the general supervis- ion and control of the United States. Sen- ator Morgan will leave for his home in Alabama tonight.

Seattle, Wash.
