the meekness of a Moses must be
in the atmosphere to satisfy the
good little boy of the News. The
PRESS is not an EXTREMIST. We
need neither a cyclone nor a dead
calm. Experience teaches that
one kills too quick. while the
other is productive of a stagnant
condition of the atmosphere that
means disease. A lively blow now
and then purifies the surround
| ing and we propose to continue to
grumble, growl or kick SO long as
| a Democratic committee so far
misses the old land marks as to
call upon those who seek to be its
servants to pay the expenses for
making a selection, especially
when the committee creates an eX-
pense that has never heretofore
existed, and for which there is no
excuse except a desire to limit the
aspirants to those who have plenty
of money. Primaries are held by,
in and for the party, the candidate
is a. secondary consideration, and
to require him to put up his check
that the party may be paid for
transacting its business is mani
testify unfair. Besides the Demo-
crat party has always been the
friend of the poor, the poor man
whose cause is good should have
the same showing, the same foot
ing so far as the actions of the
party effect him, as the rich. This
has been and is a sacred doctrine
of the party. With this action of
the committee as a precedent, and
so much per precinct as starter
where will that idea, that equity
be in a few years? The Demo-
cratic party is engaged in fighting
the encroachments of the dollar
upon the rights of individuals,
and if it succeeds it must keep
that insidious dollar from canker-
ing its own heart.
The insinuation on the part of !
the News that the PRESS objec-
tons are founded upon Ollie
James alleged disappointment,
and the covet threat that Mr.. JAM
os had better be good is not plac-
ing very high estimate on our
motive in Directing to this action
Of the committee, nor does it Gre
lit Mr.. James with any indepen-
lence of thought or action. If he
must become passive to every ac-
ion that shapes the destiny of the
party, in order to go to Congress,
We fear that nature will have to re-
construct that individual. AS to
he PRESS, it thinks, whether
light or wrong in thus thinking,
hat there are more people inter-
sted in maintaining the old time
ustom of a free for all primary in
his the home of old time Demo
racy, than those who live in its
own. There should be no money
rice upon the privilege of enter l
lg Democratic primary election, q
should be as free to the capable, i
'yal, true Democrat, though poor,
3 to the wealthiest man in the /;
istrict, and whenever it deviates :,
'om this, it deyiates from Demo- :
racy. Il

POSSIBILITIES OF WAR.
RussO-Japanese Relations Earnestly
Discussed in the Island Empire.

YOKOHAMA, Japan, Feb. g., via Vic
toria, B. c., March 1.-THE persistency
with which the western press clings to the
imminence of war between Russia and ia
pan is attracting much attention here
Thus far there has seemed to be no founda-
ton whatsoever for the rumor. The fact
which now impresses the public is the ar
rival Of representatives of some of the
prominent New York papers, they having
been sent for the express purpose of being
This, together with the activity prevailing
in the Russian squadron i'm eastern wa
tiers, assembling in force as it is in the
Korean straits and the reports constantly
coming in of extraordinary doings at Port
Arthur, have at least forced the conviction
that where there is so much smoke there
must be some fire, and the people and the
press are correspondingly on the qui vive.
In official circles, however, the utmost calm
is manifest while everybody else is won
dering what it all means. In the meantime
one of the Chinese papers actually pro-
pounds the theory that Japan will be likely
to take the opportunity furnished by the
approaching naval maneuvers in the Ko-
rean straits to strike a sudden blow at
Russia. -" Yokohama has been visited
by another great fire, sweeping away some
three hundred houses in the native town.
Not so utter restitution as usual has been
caused by it. as the Japanese are now
largely availing themselves of the resource
of insurance and thoroughly appreciating
its benefits.

QUITS BRYAN FOR DEBS
f. ". BREWSTER SAYS HE CANNOT
SUPPORT THE NEBRAsKAN.
He Does Not Agree with Him on the
Trust Observation-Disclosures Nomi-
nations at Cincinnati.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Eugene v.
Brewster, of Brooklyn, who was toast
master and chairman of the Bryan dollar
dinner, and who has been probably the
most conspicuous member of the so-called
Chicago platform Democracy has writ
ten letter to William j. Bryan in which
he says that he cannot support Mr.. Bryan
for the presidency, and that he now aban-
dons all effert to EFFECT a union of reform
forces under Bryan's leadership. Mr..
Brewster in a discussion of the general
question of trusts and machinery says:
1.-The trust question, to which you are
devoting most of your attention, involves
the very greatest and really The only prob
lem that the American people have TO
solve. Regretfully. you seem to see only
one side of the case and, seeing only evil
on that side, you would unhesitatingly de-
stroy the trust You do not seem to real
ize, dear Mr.. Bryan, that the same argu-
ments that you apply to the trust also
apply equally well to improved machinery
and yet you would not destroy that have
carefully studied the conditions and the
many remedies offered by various parties
and factions, and Ii seems to me that CO.
peration-socialism-is the only practical
and the only possible remedy"
Mr.. Brewster expresses his discomfort
with each of the principal existing political
parties and announces his adherence to
his brilliancy and oratorical powers he
soon could bring the world to his feet
If only he would believe and speak as does

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Cigar Dealer Kills n Young Girl and
Himself in a Hotel.

CHICAGO, March 17-Murder and sui
dome Hotel, No. 175 South Halsted street.
The bodies of a and young woman
were found by the hotel employees tonight,
that of the woman having three bullet
wounds and the man had shot himself in
the mouth with the revolver he used in
ending the life of his companion. This
afternoon a well-dressed man engaged a
room for himself and wife, registering as
S. Cohen. No attention was paid to the
couple until one of the hotel employees
made a mistake in answering a call and
knocked on the door of the room assigned
to Cohen. Receiving no answer and know
ing that the room was occupied he noti-
fled the proprietor.
When the door was broken open the
body of the woman was found lying on
the bed, fully dressed. That of the man
was found on the floor, the right hand

cts on which was engraved the name M

same name. No shots were heard by the
guests of the hotel and the bodies, when
found, were in condition indicating that
death had ensued several hours before.
The victims at a late hour were iden-
titled as NJ. Goldfas, proprietor of a cigar
and confectionery store West Four
teenth street, and Jennie Liss, fourteen
years old, an employee of a cigar factory
Although of tender age she had been keep
ing company with Goldfias for some time.
1t is asserted that the man was infatuated
with her and that he probably killed her
in a fit of jealousy. Goldflas was thirty
years of age and married.

A planning MILL FIRE
THE ALARM is TURNED IN AT TWO
O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.
Plant of the Indianapolis Planning Mill
Company DestrOyed-A Loss
of $4,000.


At 2 o'clock this morning an alarm of
fire called the department to the corner
of Meridian and Wilkins streets. The
blaze was in the Indianapolis Planning Mill
Company's plant, and when the chief
reached the scene it had gained such head
way that he sounded second alarm.
The fire burned fiercely and most of the
establishment was soon a mass of flames,
lighting up the whole neighborhood.
The company has recently been manufac-
turing kitchen furniture and a consider
able quantity of manufactured product
was stored in the mill.
Mr. Diedrich Mussman, president of the
company, who was early on the scene, said
that if the plant was burned down his
loss would be $4,000. Considerable insur-
rance is carried.
When the fire broke out a brisk wind
was blowing and the occupants of the frame
cottages in the neighborhood were fearful
lest their buildings should be destroyed. At
2:30 o'clock this morning 1T was thought the
department would be able to cOntine the
fire to the plant ng mill where it originated.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Notwithstanding the hour a large crowd
gathered to watch the progress of the
flames.
