Fusion or Bust.

From the Paulding (Ohio) Demo-
crat: William j. Bryan will be the
leader of the Democrats. the free-silver
Republicans and the Populists in 1900.
The Chicago platform will be readopt-
ed and it will declare against imperial
ism, against the trusts, and in favor OF
direct legislation. Any movement or
ganized to detract from this leader and
these issues, while it may be with hon
est intentions, is a move that will help
the Hanna-McKinley combine and to
strengthen the money trust, the syndi-
Gates, the combines and the corpora
tions. Whoever is not for William j.
Bryan and the Chicago platform from
this time until the close of the polls
in 1900 is for the Hanna syndicate and
the money power, either directly or in
directly.

People who imagine that the carette
Is a sedate and quiet vehicle, fit only
for old women and elderly men who
wish to avoid excitement, are cherish
ing a delusion. AS typical carette
experience a trip from the river to
Madison street, recently, may be
cited. Directly in front of Cen
trail Music hall the carette, which
was on the wrong side of the street,
collided with heavy truck loaded with
coops containing live chickens. The
truck driver eXpostulated with the car
ette driver, and ordered him to take the
other side of the street at once. The
latter declined. Hot words followed,
and a moment later challenge to a
duel was given and accepted. Both
men drew their whips and stood up on
their seats. The lashes flew, and the
horses, thinking the blows intended
for them, started up and pulled the We
hicles apart. The carette turned out
SO quickly that beer wagon almost
took it's wheel off. A moment later,
while the passengers were recovering
from the excitement, cable train
swept round the corner of Madison
street and was stopped within three
inches of the venerable equines at

gers scrambled out in confusion and

From the Butte (Mont) Miner:
Those newspapers of the Republican
persuasion which are busily engaged
finding trouble in the ranks of the De-
mocracy are respectfully invited to
pause and ponder over the following
from the Portland Oregonian:
President Mckinley has shown him
self to be mere instrument in the
hands of politicians, He has shown it
in all possible ways, and the whole
country is talking about it. In civil
and military affairs it has been the
same. Such ability as he has is neu
tralized by his excessive amiability.
Something more than mere complais-
ance in action is required in the presi-
dent Of the United States"
Here is trouble right here in the
family, so to speak, and there is no
occasion for the Republican newspa-
pers to get over into the Democratic
pasture to look for other family trou-
bles. The Oregonian is, and has been
always, Republican newspaper. 1t
is, in the opinion of the Miner, the
strongest Republican newspaper and

Coming events cast their shadows
before" The New York Tribune, con-
trolled by Whitelaw Reid, ex-Paris
peace commissioner, and until recently
thoroughgoing Mckinley organ. has
lately been pouring hot shot into the
Mckinley camp, because, first, of what
It calls the presidents betrayal of the
civil-service merit system by his re-
cent order turning over some ten thou
sand offices to the spoilsmen, and, sec
ond, because of his failure to confirm
the sentence of the court-martial in the
case of Capt. Carter, convicted of rob-
ping the government of a million or
SO dollars by means of corrupt con-
tracts. The Minneapolis Tribune, the
Portland Oregonian and number OF
other prominent Republican newspa-
pers have declared that it may be nee
essary for the Republican party to
nominate another than Mckinley for
president next year; while Harper's
Weekly, an enthusiastic supporter of
Mckinley in 1896, now says: 1--WE
wonder If Mr.. Mckinley knows what
some good men-not gold Democrats
or independents, but old-time Repub-
licans-are saying Of him. They are
saying that he has done more harm to
the country than Mr.. Bryan could have
done. No one can regret more than
ourselves that this is a fact. We are
not prepared to assent to it, but it is
certainly worthy of Mr.. McKinley's se-
rious reflection He is alternating the
friends who made his election possible,
and whose support may be absolutely
necessary to bis party next year. There
can be no question that the tide of Re-
publican opinion is steadily setting
against the denomination OF Mckinley
and little question that he will be out

Polo played without the regulation
sticks, merely by the substitution of
cycles for horses, is new game
among riders, though 1t requires no
small amount of skill. 1t is obvious
that the latter form of game is pos
sibly only. for expert wheelmen or
wheelwomen. When the bell is struck,
not with stick, but always with the
front wheel, it means that the wheel
must be lifted clear of the ground to
give it the necessary play, and that is
a feat beyond the average rider. The
rules for the new game are the same
as those of the stick polo, and the
player must always, on penalty OF o
foul, keep his cycle to the left of an
imaginary line drawn from the OPP
ponents' goal to the centre of the
BALI. g., must keep the ball on his
right hand side. Then, to make a
sharp stroke, the front wheel is lifted,
the left hand brought sharply back
and the ball is struck with the rim and
tire of the hinder part of the front
wheel. 1t sounds like a perilous feat,
and is somewhat, though not more SC
than the game played with sticks. In
practice for either falls are frequent
and inevitable. The rule about keep.
ing on one side of the ball is evidently
framed in order to avoid as far as pos.
sible such disastrous collisions as
would ensue from crossing right

A revolving instance of magisterial
cruelty in the Hungarian village Of
Mocsa, in the county of Komorn, has
just come to light. Last November
the offices of the community were
broken into, and some money was
stolen. Thirteen persons were ar.
rested, and, on their refusal to con.
fess, were abominably tortured. They
were bound hand and foot, and beaten
with lockwood sticks by the magis-
trate and his assistants, who also
lighted methylated spirits under the
bare feet of one prisoner, and then
poured the burning spirit over them.
The unhappy wretch, in order to
escape further torture, said that he
had taken the money and buried it
near pond. His prosecutors, on
failing to find it, became more en-.
ragged than ever, and ran pointed
knives under his fnger-nails. Other
prisoners were starved for days, and,
with their hands tied behind them,
were bound to frames and left there
until they tainted. After all these
horrors, the actual thief, who was
still at liberty gave himself up to the
public prosecutor at Komorn. The
Criminal Court is now making strict
inquiry into the affair. r.-Vicnna Cor
