John Parsons.

John Parsons, one of the builders of the
first railway locomotive constructed in
America, and the Oldest resident of Me-
dina, N. Y, died Monday at his home. aged
ninety one years. He was born in New
York City, but came TO Medina when the
town was mere clearing in the woods,
early in 1881. He built a house. engaged
in his trade of coppersmith, and had re-
sided there ever since. While engaged at
his trade in New York in 1880 Mr.. Parsons
worked on the first locomotive ever con-
structed in America. which was built at
the Kimberly foundry, at the foot of Beech
Street. The wheels of this primitive loco
motive were of wood, with iron tires. The
locomotive was run on a short line of rail-
road in South Carolina and was the third
ever run in this country, the first two hav-
ing been built in England and used on the
first line constructed in this country.
Mainville Burroughs, of the great firm of
London, England, was a member in his
early life of Mr.. Parsons famous little
Band of Hope" Society. and when he died
a few years ago it was found that he had
left a bequest Of about $4,000 TO his old
instructor and friend. With this money an
annuity was bought Which made Mr.. Par
sons comfortable during his last years.

Will the News" R.plyl

We have gathered from a close
reading Of our esteemed Demo.Pop
contemporary, the News, that it is
not satisfied with the way the govern
'ment is being run. In fact it as good
as admits that it could do better
job itself than Bin Mckinley. To be

how to settle this Philippine question.
But it has not told its readers yet.
1t has contented itself with sitting
around and hollering at the men who
are doing things and giving the cap
tain Of the ship advice.
Here are few queries that we
would like to have the News answer,
frankly, fairly and squarely, Pend
ing an answer from our distinguish

well to ponder over them;

No Surrender.

1t is worth while to emphasize the
declaration that il the Democratic
party undertakes to advocate the
withdrawal OF American soldiers from
the Philippine islands in the face Of
armed force the Democratic party
will be defeated. 1t cannot combat q
sentiment which is innate in every
human being--the repughance Of
mankind to acknowledge itself beat
en-. And this country is the last
country in the world to accept the
proposition that it can be beaten by
anyone-least of all by a race like the
Tagals Of the Philippine archipelago.

Prices and Good Times.

Lawrence Journal: A great roar is
being made by the Populistic press
because OF the advance in prices.
Prices always advance when times
are good and decrease when times
are hard. This applies to labor as
well as to provisions. The man who
has a fixed salary or income is the
one who is crushed by good times.
His wages remain the same, and he
is compelled to pay from ten to fifty
per cent more for everything he buys.
The producer is the man who pros
pers and grows fat when there are
good times. The farmers OF Kansas
have made more during the past year
and half than they had made in any
three years since the boom days. The
laborer finds work plenty and wages
good, and he is making more money
thanlfor a long time Somebody
must pay the bills. Somebody must
lose il. somebody else gains. The
millions Of men in this country who
have fixed incomes are the men who
are paying them now. They are the
ones who lose what others gain. II
there is any kick coming on the good
times, it is coming to the man who
has fixed income.

NJ. Bryan's Trust Remedy.


New York Sun: MIR. William J.
Bryan sometimes talks about things
he does not know, makes statements
that are not SO, and suggests policies
to whose simple meaning and obvious
result he is blind. A case In point
was his recent asseveration that there
were more business failures and bank
failures in the country in the six
months after McKinley's election than
in any other similar period Of time
before. Another illustration is his
proposition, made in an oratorical
burst before the Democratic state
convention Of Nebraska, at Omaha,
on August p, that the proper way of
"limiting trusts" would be to pro-
hibit any corporation from doing
business outside OF the state in which
it was organized, save under a license
from the federal government.
We have been unable to find a YER
batim account Of Mr.. Bryan's speech,
but the Evening Bee Of Omaha puts
what he said in this way:
"Mr. Bryan then paid bis respects
to the trusts and declared that when
a law is passed that will prevent a
corporation from doing business out
side the state in which II is organized
without a license from the federal
government, the trusts can be effect.
lively regulated"
The World-Herald Of the same city
says;
1.-The speaker declared that the
trusts could be destroyed when the
federal congress would decree that no
corporation should do business out
side the state where it was organized,
except by securing the license Of the
federal government.
Think a minute, Mr.. Bryan! What
kind Of government would it be I'M
der which no concern could do bust
ness outside the state where its chief
office was without securing the per-
mission Of somebody at the seat Of
federal powerP 1t would be the
greatest scheme Of Imperialism, the
most absolute system Of centralized
power that the world has ever known

Same Old Duesboo.

Gaided by their new bedfellows;
the Democrats, the Populists Of Kan
sas in fusion convention assembled
are adopting some remarkable reso-
tions for men who have grown up CD
Kansas soil and grown well-toidp out
Of Kansas products. They do not
realize exactly what kind Of co-labor-
ers they have chosen in the Kansas
fusion Democracy. They should
look at the resolutions adopted by
the Democrats OF Ohio for instance.
The Democrats Of Ohio, after declar-
ing that they stood with those i'm
mortal Republicans, Lincoln and
Grant, and we're willing to contribute
something toward perpetuating the
republic, expressed their unqualified
satisfaction at several achievements
Of the Republican national admins
tration, but said they could not con-
scientiously approve Of its policy
commended the action OF q Republic
can congress in declaring war against
Spain, but demanded that the fruits
of the war should be abandoned;
recognized the valor OF our soldiers
and sailors "from Bunker Hill to this
very hour" but held that this valor
had been displayed in wrong cause;
favored the maintenance Of our splen-
did navy, but declared that the pur-
pose for which the navy was created
was dangerous and criminal.
1t therefore is plain that the Ohio
Democracy is in favor Of everything
the Mckinley administration has ac-
complished-but, is proud Of the
achievements Of our soldiers and
sailors-but, is in hearty accord with
the principles which guided Abraham
Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant-but,
points with pride to the declaration
Of war with Spain-but is in favor CT
a great navy-but, wants peace re-
stored in the Philippines-but, is
against all unlawful combinations of
capital-but, dominates stockholdeL
and bondholder in some Of the larg-
est trusts Of the age.
1t is the same old Democratic par
ty-always cobbling along from two
to forty years behind the times, al
ways making feeble effort to catch
up with the procession Of events, but
never succeeding; always affirming
its belief this year in the principles
Of the measures it opposed two, four,
six or eight years ago; always telling
Of the things it would do il it had the
chance, and never doing anything
when it has chance the same old
Democratic party that has fought
progress inch by inch for half a CEN
fury until it has come to regard op-
position as a necessary Of life, and
obstruction as the first law OF nature.
1t is with this. kind Of politicians
that the Populist party has joined
hands-no wonder that queer and
unpatriotic resolutions result.
