When William Mckinley, president
of the United States, was informed of
the Kentucky calamity he expressed
his deep regret at the incident, and
beyond expressing his regrets he said
nothing. When William j. Bryan was
told of the shooting he proved himself
once more the prince of demagogues
by remarking that he hoped the re-
publcans would be given IA monopoly
of violence Jumping at conclusions
is the unmistakable stamp of little
mind, and Mr.. Bryan pleaded guilty
promptly and frankly when this OPP
portunity was presented HIM. There
was at first nothing that would indi-
cate to the fairminded man that there
was anything in the case other than
the mere fact that an eXcitable crank,
filled with mad desire to prccipitate
a more intense excitement than that
which had been eXtant in Kentucky
for some time, had taken the affair
into his own hands and brought mat
tiers TO sudden and undesirable eli
max. President Mckinley showed his
conservatism, which is but technical
name for wisdom, by expressing no
opinion and pronouncing no one
guilty without evidence. This is but
another opportunity for American peo-
pie to compare the two men, their
Der, and to form Judgment as to
which man is the safer to trust with
the guidance of n great nation

of the Anti-Trust Con-
ference of the Calam-
ityites.

If any doubt existed as to the pur-
pose of those in control of the anti
trust conference to convert it into u
calamity bureau for the manufacture
of Bryan campaign material that
doubt was removed by the adoption of
voluminous set of free silver resolu-
lions which were telegraphed to Wash
ington.
These resolutions were vehement
protest against the gold standard cur
rency bill now pending in the senate,
which il declares is conspiracy to
"enthrone the money oligarchy, estab-
lish a continental bank trust, enslave
the people and destroy the republic to
the end that free government may per-
ish from the earth" The proposition
to make all debts payable in honest
dollars is characterized by the reso lu-
tions as "the most audacious, danger
Gus and oppressive measure ever pre-
scented to legislative body by set Of
conspirators."
1t is true that President Lockwood
and one or two delegates protested
against these resolutions as not ger
name to the subject which the confer
ence was called to discuss, but their re-
monstrance was of no avail against
the evident determination of the del
egates to put the conference on rec
ord against sound money. The reso-
buttons were adopted with vociferous
acclaim; in fact no speech or utterancc
during the conference ELECTED such an
enthusiastic demonstration of approx

difficult to conceive how they could
gather such an idea from the pub

an antitrust conference, and it has
been thus far true to it's name.

BOBBY'S WRESTLING.

When Bobby learns to whistle
There's music In the air:
You hear his notes diffusing,
Here. yon and everywhere.
He whistles in the morning
Before he's out of bed:
He whistles all the day long.
And in his sleep, tbs said.
OF tunes Bob knows not many
In fact, he knows not one:
But just to whistle whistle.
To him's sufficient fun.
And tunes are but restrictions
Are paths ones muse to lead,
And Bobby is rover
In Whistledom, indeed.
While Bobby learns to whistle
His mammals nearly wild.
She says in all her born days
She ne'er saw such a child
And grandmamma gets nervous
And says: "Oh, me! oh, my!
That child will drive me crazy;
/ feel that could ny!"
Why, even at the table.
He'll pause and try his skill,
And through his puckered lips he
Emits notes sharp and shrill
His father cries out 'Robert"
And Bobby then will cease,
And for the next ten minutes
Perhaps he'll hold his pepee.
When Bobby learns to whistle
There's one thing that's made clear
That is whate'er his hearts In,
In that he'll persevere.
And so,> although distracted
Almost by all the noise.
We smile ard say. ben'srly:
'Oh, well, boys will be boys"

employed to secure Goebel's death will
convince the public of the desperate

noic such as has figured in other assas-

because he thinks he sees chance for

republicans have disturbed the peace oil
Kentucky and are responsible for the
deed of the assassin. Back Of surface
plausiblity there is boundless low cum
ming in Bryan. No one is reader TO play
