are regarded as aspersions upon the integ-
rity OF every treasurer in the State.

The Springfield CMass.) Republican,
which is not Republican, but is bitterly
hostile to the Republican administration.
says:
The Bryan situation is strictly unique.
The less his prospects of election the tight
er grows his grip on the nomination. For
the first time in our political history
great party sits worshlpfully at the feet
of a man and does little or nothing TO OPP
pose a leadership which few believe can
result in victory.
The foregoing is fair statement of the
situation by a paper which would delight
to support any candidate who could make
a half hopeful fight upon an anti-expan-
sion platform. But its zeal for Aguinaldo
and it's relentless hostility to the Repub-
lican party do not make the Springfield
mugwump oblivious to the facts which are
obvious to all except the blind followers
of Mr.. Bryan. There is but explana-
ton for the general acquiescence of the
Democratic leaders in Mr.. Bryan's candi-
they have no hope of success next Novem-
Der. Whatever the platform may be or
whomsoever the candidate may be, Pres
ident Mckinley, who has generally salts
fed the country and whose administra-
ton has been attended by a marvellous
prosperity. will be reelected. This fact
seems to be conceded by leading Democrats
in most the States. The anti-Bryan men who
are prominent Democrats realize this fact,
and, realizing it, they see a sure way to
get clear of Mr.. Bryan, his silver and
other heresies. They may make little
show of opposition, but they will acquiesce
in Mr.. Bryan's nomination. They do not
''sit worshipfully at Mr. Bryans feet" as
the Massachusetts paper affirms, but they
are waiting patiently to see Mr.. Bryan
rejected as the party dictator by another
defeat. When he is again defeated they
believe the Democracy will accept men of
brains as leaders.

Senator Penrose. of Pennsylvania, has
introduced bill appropriating s5,OO0,OOO to
be devoted to the construction of perma-
nent public roads in the several States, the
appropriation to be divided among the
States in proportion to the mileage of roads
in each. Such a scheme might prove an
object lesson which would lead the people
in the States to take a greater interest in
the construction of permanent roads, but
so small an amount as would go to State
would not be sufficient to construct roads
in several localities, so that the distribu-
ton of the money, even if the roads were
built under the supervision of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, would cause local jeal-
ousies. Furthermore, if the precedent OF
building roads in the States should be es-
tablished, an appropriation of $1,000, 600
would lead to appropriations of five or ten
times much in the course of a few years
Just now Uncle Sam has about all the
burdens he can carry. Better let the people
in the States build their own roads.

day introduced testimony to show a motive

A MYSTERIOUS INTRUDER


Between and o'clock yesterday morn
ing Harry Doremus and wife, living at As
North California street, were surprised to
find strange man standing near their bed
holding lighted lamp In one hand and an
AK in the other. Mrs. Doremus sat up
right In the bed when she saw the man and
made an outcry. The man seeing her hus-
band near her went to rear of the room
and placed the lamp on table, which was
there and left through a window in the
side of the house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doremus made an investi-
CATION of the premises and found that the
man had pried opened side window, had
broke of the window latch with some
sharp instrument and had pulled a chair
through which he placed on the outside
The axe was left in the room and was of
an old pattern. Mrs. Doremus can only
give a meager description of the intruder
as the lighted lamp was held in front of
the man.
