The Croker-Jones Manifesto.

Richard Croker and Chairman Jones were
rdfscreet. They should have kept their
evolutionary plan under cover. They could
.asily have communicated 1t in confidence
o their Iieutenants in New York, Chicago,
INDIANAPOLIS Cleveland and Louisville, and
obtained from it as a surprise whatever OF
ldvantage it may carry. But now the OPP
position is on its guard. Protection will be
provided against an invasion of pluguglies:
md where their object cannot be defeated
II the moment their performances can be
July noted and reported for investigation
Their difficulties have been greatly in
creased by this giving away of their mis-
sion. Still. where they are ordered into
he field they must obey. Theirs not to
reason why. Theirs but to go into the poll
ing places and snatch baldheaded any cleo
ion official who may insist upon returns
preiudicial to Mr.. Bryan's interests.
If New York. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky
and Ohio should be carried in this way-or,
more properly speaking, if returns in those
states should by such methods be made
favorable to Mr.. Rryan-we should have
distinctly a government by force. The re
.urns from the south will represent, as
hey have for years represented, only force.
and the force of a minority. 1t is no
longer necessary 10 make open SllON VI
his at the polls. Acknowledgement was
secured by intimidation, and in the last
analysis therefore Mr.. Bryans southern
support rests upon force. So that force in
he south, Joined 10 this force advocated
aisewhere appears to be the hope today
If Mr.. Bryan and the managers of his cam
oaign.
And yet Mr.. Bryan insists that all men
nent by force is a curse and crime: that
unless men are permitted freely to express
themselves at the polls, and their wishes
50 expressed are respected there is only
tyranny no matter by what other name 1t
may be called. Was there ever greater diff
ference between a mans professions and
his performances? Mr.. Bryan knows the
nature of his support. and stands ready and
rager to accept office the result of prac-
ices which set al defiance both the laws
and the Constitution.
All of this Is so plain that 1t would ap-
oear 10 afford reasonable assurance in itself
IF Mr.. Bryan's defeat. He is making a
.ampaign too much upon humbug. He is
7eeking TO obtain power too much upon
'alse pretanses. Judged by his associations,
he is not a champion of liberty. Judged by
his willingness knowingly to accept the
fruits of force, he is the last man of public
consequence in America who should raise
his voice in denunciation of force.

Good Showing for the south.

The south has gone ahead in the face Of
conditions which in the first part of the de-
cade were adverse to progress here. The
difficulties were twofold referring both to
legislation and financial conditions. The
greater part Of the south's increase has
come lately, within the past few years,
and 1t would have been much greater but
for the unfavorable conditions in the first
part of the decade.
The reason for the south's growth Is
found In her marvellous wealth Of re-
sources Her hills, her fields and hel
streams offer unexampled Inducements to
the investor and developer. Men with
money have within the past few years In
greater numbers than ever before begun
to take advantage of these glittering OPP
portunities. The next ten years will wit
ness a still more remarkable development
in this direction.

A Kentucky Scalawag.
From tho Rostpn Herald

The declaration of Finley B. Anderson,
a witness in the trial as an accessory to
murder of Caleb Powers of Kentucky, is a
revelation of Anderson, on his own con-
fession, as monstrously Infamous char
acter. AS he stands now, the chief trouble
in the case is that his present evidence is
worth little. A man who would deliberate
iy lie under oath, as he says he has done
can give testimony to be Of little value
but if, as he says was the case with him
he actually swore away mans life in sc
doing. his depravity reaches a degree that
borders upon the incredible. One thing is
clear in the case. and it is that this mar
should promptly be indicted for perjury, enc
should receive a severe penalty under the
law for it. He has invoked this by his
own confession. but has, unfortunately
made himself worthless as a witness be-
yond that.

the fiscal year on these books as they are
purchased 1t will be possible to install the
library with a complete catalogue. To the
extent that the volumes are catalogued and
properly arranged the collection gives val
ue to the community. So there should be
no hesitation on the part Of Congress about
appropriating as the Commissioners make
requisition, even though the new quarters
will not be ready for occupancy until the
latter part Of the fiscal year.

When / vote, when 1 vote,
Then the laughter gay will float
Over countryside and town,
And the merriment will drown
All the cries
That arise
From the foolish or the wisei
All our previous forebodings We VIII JOY
ously despise!
For the politicians say,
If I'll only vote their way
That this life
With its strife
Will become holiday.
We will all have social rank: %
Wen have money in the bank;
Well L know
How twill go,
For a speaker told me so.
He says he knows exactly how to stop each
tale of woe.
So do not pause for thought,
But with gleeful feelings fraught,
| will go to drop my ballot as the speaker
said l ought. ...t
And then I'll simply wait
For good luck to operate
And list while every throat
Sounds a long exultant note
That will sound DER hill and valley; over
castle; over moat,
When l vote.

POLYGAMY AN RUM AMONG
 BIRDS.

Crow blackbirds are common in this locality during the summers, and they are found in our pastures with the cat tie. I have never found their eggs in the nests of other birds, but they are Mormonistic in their habits, one often having as many as dozen wives and I have known the crow blackbird to have more than one mate.
 Some years ago an article went the rounds of the newspapers telling of a man catching flock of crows by soak ing corn in alcohol and leaving 1t for the crows to eat, and when they be- came drunk he caught them. I tried bread crumbs soaked in whiskey on English sparrows, but they would not eat them, and I finally got crow, and though I kept him until he was very hungry, could not get him to eat corn soaked in whiskey, and he found no difficulty in picking up very unsoak- ed kernel and leaving the others. You may draw your own moral, but I am satirfied that the crow will not eat food saturated with alcohol. He is either too civilized or too intelligent George Cahoon In Appleton's Monthly.
