posing Jones, an acknowledged
expansiaaist, and supporting
Berry, who is an out-spoken
anti-expansionist, for U. 5. SEN
ator. Editor Neil thus explains
Let Judge Cockrill, or Major
Horner, or Judge Rogers, or any
other man Of character and abil-
| ity who believes in sound money
and the good old democratic doc
trines Of territorial and CONNER
cial expansion, enter the lists
against Senator Berry and the
World will announce its fealty tc
him in the first issue thereafter
And this notwithstanding the
fact that we entertain the SINGER
est friendship for, and repose the
utmost confidence in the integri-
ty Of purpose Of Senator Berry.
But when it is suggested that
Governor Jones is q proper man
to tie to in any emergency, we
beg to dissent. Governor Jones
made his first race for his present
position as a bolter. That is to
say he went into the race declar-
ing he would never vote for the
nominee Of the democratic party
nor support its platform except
in certain emergencies. To all
intents and purposes he placed
himself outside the party. lie
was elected, however, and yet at
the last session Of the Legislature
he went before a committee in
charge of a measure designed to
create a state railroad, and beg
ged them to enable him to issue
in the name Of the state bonds
payable principal and interest IL
gold. We also found him last
year on both sides Of the con-
solidated election bill, on both
sides Of the expansion question,
and on both sides Of mining trou-
bic disputes, In addition, he has
pardoned nineteen out of every
| twenty blind tiger experts whose
cases have been brought to his
notice, and has engaged in the
wholesale pardon mill business in
the interest of his private am
billions. If he has a particle OF
backbone, or stability, or any
other commendable political vir-
tue the Worlds attention has not
been directed to it. He is wholly
and solely. for Dan Jones, and
would, in the deliberate judge
mont of the World, forsWear him
self twice a week for a decade il
he could thereby advance his
interests. The World would like
to see every man an eXpanslonlst,
and the recent utterances on that
question Of Governor Jones have
been entirely orthodox. But, we
regret to say, that expansion SEN
timent in Arkansas received nc
impetus by reason Of his action
in declaring for it. That is be-
cause the people have no con
|fdence in him. He may double
on his tracks tomorrow. There
no telling. You can't put your
finger on Daniel. Every mar
who knows him is as absolutely
assured that he came out for eX-
pansion because he thought il
was the proper thing to do, as !
he had said SO in 50 many words
Talk about that kind of q CRANE
and lofty tumbler representing Q
great state in the Senate! II is
little short Of ridiculous, AS Tho
World is persuaded, Senator
Berry is irremodiably wrong Of
the money question, but he i

on that issue. He Is widely
wrong on the expansion issue
but he is with Bryan and tht

THIS is the way the Democratic
Executive Committee will do it in
Prairie county:
"Resolved; That if be proven
before this committee that any
candidate for office in this county
has used money or whiskey to
secure his nomination in the pri-
mary election, such candidate
shall forfeit all the votes he has
received in the entire county"

THE Maryland legislature, al
though largely democratic, re-
fused to endorse W. j. Bryan as
"the recognized leader Of the
democracy Of the United States"
and voted down a resolution to
invite Mr.. Bryan tc address the
body. The Marylanders have
never had but little affection for
Bryan or the silver cause.
