AT Toledo, Ohio, on the 3rd inst, Mr.
BRYAN said THE Democratic party Is
sure to win" He said the same thing,
frequently, IN 1896; and made no greater
mistake in that prophecy than he did in
his predictions as to what conditions would
follow the success of the Republican party.
If the country believed, as Mr.. Bryan al
fects to believe, that the Democratic party
is sure to win, we could already zee the ef-
feet upon business. The people do not
believe, hence business remains active.

THE Democrats who were afraid of the
constitutional convention question and OPP
posed it being made party issue, under
took to show, after the Norfolk convention
that it had not been made a party issue.
They have been promptly confronted with
the proceedings of the State convention,
with the declarations Of the party organs
and of their State chairman, all of which
show that the question has been made a
party issue.

VIOLATING PLEDGES.

The evil eHects OF Cne p1lltlCdl in0'nVNS
of the Virginia Democracy have been
numerous; but there are none which
have proved 60 direful as the one which
causes citizens, especially those who ale
representatives of the people, to violate
their solemn pledges to support the Con-
situations and laws of the State, and Fed
eral Governments. The tendency OF the
election methods in our State and the
political ethics taught by the Democratic
Machine, have SO perverted the moral
zone of the party that men occupying
high positions in representative capacity
recklessly parade their partisan disre'
gard for the constitutions and laws they
have sworn to support.
The Democratic convention which was
held at Norfolk, Va, on the End inst.
was composed largely of men who are
now or have been Office holders under
either the State or Federal government
many of them being Congressman, Sena-
tors and State legislators.
They had each and all taken solemn
oath to support and obey the Constltu'
ton and laws of the United States; but,
carried away with partisan desire to
maintain the supremacy of their party,
they endorsed movement which has IN
contemplation violation of the Constitu-
ton they have pledged themselves to
support.
The convention, by the unanimous
adoption of resolution, has made the
State constitutional convention question
a party issue. The declarations of the
Democratic press and the party leaders
have proved conclusively that the chief
purpose of a constitutional convention Is
to restrict the right of suffrage in the in
terest of the Democratic party; and the
resolutions of the convention show PLAIN
" that it is the intention of the Democra-
CIV to violate the Fifteeth amendment to
the Federal Constitution.
We were surprised to see that Senator
Daniel had so lost his balance that he fell
readily into the scheme of the Machine
for DISTINGUISHING certain classes of citl'
zens In violation of Articles XIV and XIV
of the Constitution of the United States.
Section /, Article XIV, of the Constitu-
ton says mo State shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens Of the
United States" Article XIV Of the Con-
stitution says 1.-The right of citizens Of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged 10y the United States,
or by any State, on account of race, color,
or previous condition of servitude." This
XIV Article of the Constitution was ratl-
fed and adopted by the State Of Virginia,
and the State was admitted again into
the Union upon the faith of the pledge
that our people would obey the Consti-
tuition. If the scheme of the Democra-
cy to restrict suffrage by the adoption Of
a new constitution is carried out, how
will we have kept that pledge9 And in
advocating the resolutions of the Norfolk
convention and by his support of a move
ment which is intended to disfranchise
negroes and not white voters, how has
Major Daniel kept his pledge as United
States Senator to obey and support the
Constitution

TIE porch in front of Mr. Bryan's
house at Lincoln, Neb., is unusually large
and roomy, but he has had number OF
carpenters engaged doubling the SIZE OF
the porch. 1t is the impression that the
porch will be used for receiving and ad-
dressing crowds during the Presidential
campaign. Will Mr.. Bryan remain at
home in this campaign, as did MIR. Nc
Kinlev in 1896? Perhaps MIR. Bryan
thinks it best to initiate Mr.. Mckinney
in this particular. 1t would be well Tor
him if he would copy from the President
in many other respects.

A DOGS SUPPLICATIONS.
The Intelligent Little Pet wanted

the slipper.

mike is the name of little gray.
silky haired spaniel, whose home is on
MARYLAND avenue. and he is most cum
ming and amusing animal, and as wise
as it is possible that little dog can be,
saws the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His
mistress has taught him many tricks.
lie can tell you what he does when the
policeman comes, playing dead dog,
and he can call his mistress when the
telephone bell rings, and is altogether
a delightful dog.
He has been taught to beg for things,
and his begging locks for all the world
like coaXing, so cunningly is it done.
The other day his mistress sent him up
stairs to get her slippers. He came
down presently with one, and she sent
him back for the other, but again he
returned without it,
"IIe was sent back, and this time lie
stayed 50 long that his mistress went up
stairs herself to see what was keep
ing him. a heavy satchel had fallen
upon the slipper, and the little dog,
after trying in vain to move it, sat on
his hind legs, with his little paws
raised in supplication, hoping that he
might persuade the satohcl to get of
the slipper. lie probably was con-
WINGED that his prayer was ei,cacious
when his mistress lifted the hindrance.

THE AWFUL PLIGHT OF A S1lNGY
MAN.
Warning to Those WHO Like to Borrow
Paper.
Dallas Tex News. !

Dallas Tex News.
Here is the latest story Of the man who
is too sting to take his home paper. 4
man who was too economical to take this
paper sent his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighbor. In hi4
haste the boy ran over 81 stand Of
bees, and in 10 minutes looked like 4
warty summer squash. His cries reached
his father, who ran to his assistance, and,
failing to notice q barbedNire fence, ran
into that, breaking it down, cutting a
handful Of flesh from his anatomy, and
running 81 pair of pants. The old COW
took advantage Of the gap in the fence
and got into the corn field, and killed
herself eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, the wife ran, upset four-gallon
churn full Of rich cream into a basket of
kittens drowning the whole flock. In
the hurry she dropped a s. set Of false
teeth. The baby, left alone. crawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlor, running branlnew $40 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest daugh
ter ran away with the hirel nan; the
dog broke up II setting hens, and the
calve- got out and chewed the tails off
five fine shirts,

IT now looks like the Nicaragua Canal
will be built. This is an enterprise that
will be of immense benefit to the South.
Under the present Administration more
has been done for the advancement of
the interests of our section than under
any preceding Administration; but the
South will be solid for Bryan and against
its true interests.

BRYAN'S BLANKET.
And How 1t Embarrassed the Fatally Fa-
Cie Speaker.
Iowa Register CRcp)

Iowa Register O.cp)
The Denver Republican tells a good
story, and true one, on Colonel Bryan
that is worth repeating. When the "Coio-
mel" was speeding across New Mexico on
the Santa Fe great crowd greeted him at
the little town Of Gallup. and the great
orator from the plains of Nebraska decided
that he would speak with the people. He
stepped out upon the back platform, and
after bowling his profuse thanks to the en-
thusiastic gathering, he delivered himself
of one of his typical speeches.
The people yelled themselves hoarse,
and when the noise subsidized the MAJOR of
the town climbed up to the speaker and
presented him with large Navajo blank
ct. Mr. Bryan seemed greatly pleased
oyer the gift, and gave the crowd an addi-
tional treat by saying few more words as
the train was pulling out. The great man
from Nebraska then stepped into the car
and held up the blanket before the eyes Of
his admirng friends and few newspaper
men who were making the trip with him.
As he did so he noticed a slip of paper
pinned to the blanket, and, surprising that
it bore some pretty little burst Of senti-
ment about "the terrible crime of 1873"
or something of that sort, he began to read
it aloud to the people in Che car. He had
not gone far before he discovered his mis-
take, but it was too late to stop, and he
had to finish. The note was as follows -
My Dear Mr. Bryan Under the Re-
publican administration the wool in this
blanket sells for % cents pound. Under
the Democratic administration it sold for
G cents. Please tell this to your constitu-
ents.
A long and sickening silence on the part
of the Colonel" followed the reading of
the note, and when next the great man
spoke it was about the weather and the
)ovely scenery.

power without cheating. 1t is willing to

for efecting the reformation, otherwise it
will continue its fraudulent practices. ls
it strange that the sincerity Of the profess

REFRESHING LYNCHlNG.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.
The Ohio Supreme Court has decided in
two constitutional cases before it that the
law under which those having an interest
in the life of man lynched can recover
damages from the place where the lynch
ing occurred is valid. The act was entitled
can act for the suppression of mob vio-
lence." 1t provided, the Court decides, ?
penal remedy, aud the recovery of this
remedy and the tax rate authorized and
required in the act are all held to be with
in the general powers Of the Legislature.
They do not constitute unequal taxation
and imposition of these penalties is held
valid both in principle and method. Acts
of this character now exist in nearly
dozen States. They have been decided
constitutional in every case in which they
have come before court Of last resort,

A DEMOCRAT talking to us short time
ago said his party had tried tariff reform
and it had been a dismal failure; had
insisted that the salvation of the country
depended upon the success Ut the free
silver movement, which had been proven
falIacy; and now it was going to make
a great mistake on the question of ex-
pansion. But Democracy has to oppose
what ever Republicanism advocates.

growing better, because the recent Demo

from policy. What the Virginia Democra-
cy desires, is to win. 1t will never grow
better.
