IL 1896 Mr.. VIM. J. Bryan said: I'VE have
commenced warfare against the gold stand
ard and we expect to continue that warfare
until there will not be man in this country
who will dare to raise his voice in favor Of the
gold standard" July 9Th, 1900, the Democratic
National Convention at Kansas City was COM
PEELED by him, contrary to its wishes. against
its conscience perhaps. against its judgement
certainly to declare specifically for the free,
independent and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1. Yet, August 9Th, in his
speech of acceptance he waves absolutely this
issue, with which he is identified, or which
his personal and political fortunes have been
built up, which he believed. or protested to
believe, affected the prosperity and happiness
of every man. woman and child in the coun-
try, and which be declared was 1.-THE para
mount question of the campaign" four years
ago. Now Mr.. Bryan has done one of two
things. He has either sacrificed his connec-
tions to political expedency, seeking thus 10
mask the real issue and deceive the people, or,
after forcing the 16 to heresy down the throat
of the Kansas City Convention, he is afraid to
avow his abiding belief in that worn out and
discredited doctrine and has cowardly lodged
further advocacy of dogma which has given
him his political prominence and made him
the standing candidate of the Democratic
party. Is either position one which COM
mends itself to the respect and confidence OF
the American people?

PRO TESTING AGAINST PARTY
SCANDALS

Whenever the republicans have a
a majority in the ongress they have
been prone to decide questions con-
corning contested elections purely upon
~partisanship. If they a a small ma
jority they were sure ITO decide for re-
publican contestants. They nave been
known to make partisan outrageous
decisions when they had a great ma
jority. They have turned down demo-
Gratis who were clearly elected, as in
the case of Hon. w. T. Crawford, of
this state, and nave done so when they
were elected by even 5000 or $500 ma
jority. The whole business has been
most foul and Infamous. 1t has dis
IGNORED the government and outraged
the people. 1t has made a sham of cleo
tions and betrayed a corruption in
practice that even so fagitious a party
as the republican might we'll be asham-
ed of. Will they keep the old bad way
or reform? The Washington Post, one
of the most reputable and ablest of re-
publican newspapers, is calling upon
its party for decency and propriety in

OF the d~isgraceful scandals which have

past. 1t is no longer necessary or even
prudent to eat contesting republicans,

riously defeated and whose minorities

''TAKING THE BULL BY THE
HORNS.S

Mississippians may be plucked and
Oppressed by the combines and the de
lvouring trusts, but they are not to be
intimidated, nor will they set in su-
l~pineneSS. 1t is announced that the
attorney general of that state has made
He has recently filed a declaration in
the circuit court against nineteen oil
mills in that state charging that they
iare Violating the new state antitrust
law. 1t is developed that these mills
are violating the law by entering into
cotton seed. and that the combination
also prevents competition among in
lsurance companies for oil mills. and
among railroads for hauling the seed.
The declaration" it is added. asks for
a forfeiture OF charter and that the
statutory penalty be imposed"
We know nothing about the circum-
stances and the law, but We take it TO
be true that the attorney general be-
lIieves that there is a case against the
lcombine and he is for bringing it into
Judgment and as soon as possible. If
the states cannot ecure relief from
their enemies then their condition is
|pitiable. 1t is a hopeful sign when our
southern state takes this Monster bull
by the horns and begins an action
that may put him in durance vile or
end his career beyond recovery.

HOW NEAR BRYAN CAME TO BEING
BLECTED.

It has been mentioned by the Messen-
ger several times that a small change
in the popular vote in 1896. would have
altered the result.
We have in former articles shown
that a change in eight states of $4,000
votes would have given Bryan a ma
jority in the electoral college. This
was for four years ago. Now look at
recent results. They do not show up as
desperately as one would suppose from
the general cataclysm of the 9Th inst.
But for free purchase of votes in close
states and the immense distribution of
Doodle. and the vile. wide spread intim-
idation OF employees, Bryan today would
be the president-elect.
The New York Sun was red-hot
against Bryan. 1t has been figuring
on results If finds that if 5000 people
had voted differently. Bryan would
nav been victorious. We give what

SCARCITY OF NEGRO LABOR.

There is a report of a lack of negro
laborers in parts of the south. There
is a shortage of hands for r~oustabouts
on the Mississippi river steamboats,. 1t
is stated that Italians are taking their
places. 1t grew out of a strike on the
part of the negroes. They demanded
$12O per month, boarding and lodging.
A dispatch from New Orleans of the
9Th said that not 'only are the negroes
abandoning the river. but there is a
general scarcity of negro labor in the
city and among the parishes, and fan
mill men and agents. The lack of
blacks is attributable. so the agents
say, to the periodical exodus of city
negroes to the plantations to work in
the cane fields"
The negroes had been getting from SIS
to 500 a month. The Italians work
readily for $50 and $50. 1t is said to be
a very hard, exposed life and good pay
should be given. 1t is said that the
