Bryan and kentucky RevoIvers.

We are more than skeptieal concerning
the remarks attributed TO Representative
Berry, of Kentucky, in regard to Mr..
Bryan's proposed stumping tour for Candi-
date Goebel in that State.
According to the story, Mr.. Berry said
ne thought the Nebraska orator would be
in positive danger were he TO carry out his
programme, and is quoted as adding:
Kentucky people are of quick passions and they
do not hesitate TO use their reyolvers if the
speaker does not please them. Bryan is plain
spoken, says exactly what he means and might
be shot ar any minute while speaking
1t is not necessary to assert that Mr.
Berry did not make these remarks, or
that, supposing he made them, they are
not true. Kentucky people are of quick
passions, and they do not hesitate to use
their reyolyers." We do not wish to take
the risk of being shot as we write these
lines. All the same, if the member of
Congress from the Newport district is cor
rectly reported, and if his picture of society
in his Commonwealth is an accurate one,
Kentucky is an excellent place for Mr.
Bryan and everybody else to avoid

Fifteen Months, Protection.

In very mild and apologetic way the
friends OF the Administration are disposed
to deprecate the criticism of Mr. McKin-
ley's course in the Carter case. They say
that the papers were so voluminous, and
the President was so busy with the Spanish
war, that he really could not give the mat
ter attention for a period extending over
fifteen months, lacking few days.
1t was not a case which admitted of any
doubt as to the law and the facts. The
eourt-martiaI. presided over by Major
General Otis and consisting Of fourteen
members, was unanimous IN convicting the
prisoner, and did not in any manner rec
ommend him TO Executive clemency, as 1t

under their oaths, the officers of the tri-
bunal would have been stuItifed in even

MORE AUSTRALIAN GOLD.
A Warrant for $f,25O,OOo Received

New York, Aug. 12.-The most impor-
tant transfer Of Australian gold reported
this season was arranged for today, when
the subtreasury received orders from
Washington to place to the credit of the
Superintendent Of the Mint at San Fran
cisco 1,250, 600 on account OF bullion de-
posted at that point. The usual transfer

way, as the checks drawn against the
warrant by the superintendent OF the Mint

to the reserves Of local banks.
The bullion deposited at San Francisco
was in the form OF soyereigns, as is most

points. Government officials say that most
OF the Australian gold is generally shipped
to Great Britain, but since the balance of
trade now fayors this country, England

the gold sent direct to San Francisco, so
as to save the cost Of transportation, in

Mr. Croker,s Return.

be confounded with the one potato states
man of the country. When he has learned
all that his friend in the cuff and collar

Saratoga and listen to the gurgling Of the

waters which are bubbling and surging
around that spring of machine action.
Finally he will round UP at the Demo-

ter hours and talked strike to their COM
panions After lengthy discussion. in
which at least three girls talked at one
ana the same time, it was decided to de-
nana 20 cents more on a dozen waists.
When this demand was made to the mem
ners OF the firm they refused TO grant it.
Then two OF the girls who were acting in
the capacity of walking delegates ordered a
strike. The girls readily responded 70 the
call, and in a short while some 500 OF them
put on their hats and started downstairs
Before they got out of the building the

informed tnat the increase would be grant

Went back to work, but trouble soon broke
out afresh. No sooner had the girls re-
turned 10 work than several OF those who
had been leaders in the strike were dis
charged. When this became known there
was second strike this time to compel
the firm to reinstate those who had been
discharged Headquarters were established
at loo East Broadway and the strike as
sumed business-like proportions.
The girls declared that the frm last
year paid wages that brought the shirt
waist workers from s14 to SIG a week. but
this year, they said, they could make only
from So to 50 week They thought the
discharge OF the girls-there were ten OF
them-was too much They asserted that
wnen they saw the ten girls discharged
tney started TO leave the building, but that
the foremen locked the factory doors on
them.
After establishing headquarters the
strikers began to exercise moral sussfon
over the girls who had not gone out. This
was not very successful, and more stren-
ucus methods were tried. with the result
that the girls called each other names and
pulled one another's hair. Some of the
strikers were sent back to get their old
positions and thus endeayor to persuade
the other, girls TO go cut. This worked adj
miraDiy until the forewoman discovered
that the supposed penitents we're making
trouble, and they were discharged.
A number of the other girls followed the
discharged strikers. The girls say that be-
side the difficulty about wages, the fore
woman is tyrannical, and they want to
present fuil statement OF their grievances
to the firm.

While it is not impossible that the earliest
reports of havoc Wrought by the hurricane may
prove to be exaggerated. the extent of the
storms scope of operation, including many re-
mote districts of Porto Rico. indicates the need
of thorough and searching enquiry, in order that
distresss may be adequately provided for and new
hopes encouraged. Duty may we'll be opportunity

Clearly, nothing will emphasize more strongly
the wide difference between Spanish misrule and
American control than speedy, generous, and con-
tinued aid to the victims of disastrous hurricane

dilatoriness with Yankee wide-awakeness in the

Lynchings in the South.

(From the Houston Post-)
It is not improbable that numbers of ignorant
negroes have been led to commit crime or be-
come lawless and defiant in the South because
they have been taught by their false friends that
the North or the Federal Government could and
would in some way come TO their rescue in case
of local trouble. Their minds should be dis
abused of any such idea. It is to the Southern
communities in which the crimes committed
that they must and earthly power can
prevent this disposition Of their cases.
Let the North rage, let the Lillian Jewetts
get up their object lesson shows, with either a
philanthropic mercenary motive, the lynch
ings in the South must be exclusively attended
TO by the Southern people and can only be pre-
vented by two thingS-the growth of Southern
sentiment in favor of having the law take its
course in all cases, and the cessation by brutes
OF their heinous crimes. 1t is a question be-

The Secretary of War explained the pur-
pose of the census, and remarked that the

The work of preparing the regulations will
begin at once, and General Sanger expects
to have them ready for approval by next
Tuesday. One feature of the regulations
will be a penal clause providing punish

fTOI INC LILIES.
Whatever may be said against Senator Tillman,
We cannot help admiring his political courage and
his blunt frankness in dealing with political is
sues. Tillman calls pitehfork pitchfork and
spares not. He is quoted having said in a
recent speech at South Carolina picnic that the
dispensary was not intended to be moral, but
simply to give the people plenty of good liquor
and to give the profits of the liquor business
TO the State instead OF to the barkeepers.
That is the literal truth. The State of South
Carolina is engaged in the liquor business for
the profit that there is in it. Or perhaps we
would be TO the truth if we should say
that the Tilman party inaugurated the dispcn-
sary system for the good that they could get out
of IL. Now that Tillman has told the truth, let
hear about the dispensary system as
a movement in the interest OF temperance 1t is
a movement in the interest of politics, and while
it has been Of profit TO the politicians and pos
sibly Of profit to the State government, it has

Dreyfus Day at the Trial.

Yesterdays proceedings at Rennes were
much more satisfactory than might have
been expected in view Of the declarations
Of anti -Dreyfusard leaders that a mine
would be sprung, sufficient to again con-
denim the accused officer. On the contrary,
the defence found strong and able ad-
vocate in the person OF NJ Casimir-Perier,
who gave convincing testimony in favor of
Dreyfus and asserted that it was partly
because Dupuy, Mercier, and others had
kept vital facts relating to the first court
martial from him that he resigned the
Presidency of the Republic.
General Mercier, whose testimony fol-
lowed. also helped the cause OF the pris-
oner by the puerifity of the evidence"
he submitted. There were many contra
dietions between his statements and those

amount to any reflection on the latter, who
was twice enthusiastically cheered by the
spectators.
