Is there any chance to carry the
country Democratic this fall? This
question is yet to be solved, and it will
not be until after the meeting of the
Convention on the 4th day of July, that
the real canvass for votes will begin.
The platform adopted in 1896: laid
special stress on the money question,
which resulted in bringing about d.

party. aud as a consequence it was a
house divided against itself and defeat
was the result. Had Bryan been elected
with a Congress to fit the principles
enunciated in the Chicago platform the
money question would have been set
tied satisfactory to the Democratic
party, but he was defeated, and with
his defeat the Republicans made such
gains in the Senate Of the United States
that the Chicago platform money plank
is now an impossibility. even if every
Congressman to be elected this fall

be the use of sticking the l6 to plank
in our platform at Kansas City, and
thereby keep out OF our ranks many
who agree with us on everything but
the money feature? If we cannot get

are told that Notwithstanding the pow

HAS CRANE GOT THE DEAD WOOD ON
CHARLESTON

Rev. Arthur Crane, who held a series
of meetings last fall in the Baptist
Church in this place, has received a
call to the First Baptist Church in
Charleston, and as its pastor, he has
undertaken to create rattle among
the dry bones, by doing detective or
spy work in the haunts of vice in that
city, and then from his pulpit to give
out sensations which will, for while,
make his church the grand attrac-
ton Last Sunday, Mr.. Crane deliv-
cred a sermon, in which he said a great
many truths about the conditions ex-
isting in Charleston. He told about
the liquor dens, houses of i'll fame,
gambling resorts, and ridiculed the city
authorities for permitting these things
to exist, but throughout his entire re-
marks as published, he did not tell any
thing new, or but what has been known
to every citizen. His entire sermon is
but an imitation OF the harangues that
can be heard nightly by ''slum preach
ers'' in most any city up North. We
hope that Mr.. Crane will be able to ac-
complish good in the 'sOld City by the
Sea-" but we think after he has played
his Parkhurst roll few weeks the peo-
pie will tire of the sensation, and will
be anxious 70 swap a flth-advertiser
for religion. There are certain institu-
tions permitted to exist in cities, which
to the innocent may be regarded hor-
rible, but they are permitted, because
in the Judgment of men who make the
human race study, they are preven-
tives of things more horrible. Were it
not for these institutions, there is no
telling the amount of sorrow that would
be brought TO households, the crime
and degradation that would follow the
driving OF them out. y preacher can
very well get up and denounce what
appears TO be an evil, but if his hearers

the conclusion that it is better to put

religious zeal.

1t is said that before the Kansas City
Convention assemblies, EX-President
Cleveland and Hon. J. G. Carlisle will
announce themselves as favoring the
election OF Bryan. Well, suppose they
do. what difference would it make:
Suppose they don't. would it make any
difference?
Bryan will be the Democratic nomi-
nee is certainty, and if the country
can be carried Tor the Democracy at all,
Bryan is the man who can carry it. bpt
in our humble judgment, the Republi-
cans are not only well organized, hut
they have so favored the trusts and the
monied institutions that they can get
all the money they want from them to
buy up the purchasable vote OF the
North, East and West.
We read where Bryan is received
everywhere he goes with enthusiasm,
and the impression created is that the
voters are tumbling over each other to
do him honor and give him promises Of
support, but it must be remembered
that in the North, the East, and West.
the voting system is different from ours,
and the voters are made up of different
people from ours. In this State we have
but the one party, and itspeaks through
its primary; when it has spoken all Of
US acquiese and support its decision
the party primary is virtually the cleo
tion. In the North, East, and West,
there are two well defined political
parties, that often change with issues.
The voters are made up in many States
of foreign element, who care nothing
for our institutions: in fact, their only
ambition is to reap wealth and return
to their native homes. These people
work in the mines and factories. the
very institutions which have recently
been given a considerable boost by the
present administration, and it matters
not how much they hurrah for Bryan
at the public gatherings, or march IN
the political parades, when election day
comes, the Boss in charge of each squad
of worhmen will instruct the voters how
to vote and they will vote accordingly.
If they should assert a spirit Of inde
pendence and refuse TO be dictated to,
there would follow q decrease of wages
or other workmen to take their places.
1t is in this way the Republican party
has entrenched itself and nothing short
of split in their party or a political
revolution will ouSt them.

Editor The Manning Times:
The Home Branch school closed Fri

held in the church building the next
night. and a program of three hours
kept us well entertained. The house
was filled to its utmost capacity. and
the audience was unusually quiet until
a little boy was telling girl what a
sweetheart is. His definition touched
that peculiar tender cord in our hearts.
and the whole audience began with one
accord to laughing. and when the cur
tain fell the reader can guess what the
boys and girls We're talking about. The
exhibition was good and the teacher
and children both deserve great credit.
The school under Miss Jessie Curtis
management has done well. The teach

RACED WITH THE TRAIN.
A Roberts Cowboy Received Terrible Fall in
Colliding With Steer.

Marion Dawson, young man residing
near Roberts, Wednesday gave an exhi-
bition of rough riding that nearly cost
him his life. In company with a com
panion ahorse he left Roberts as the
train pulled out ana, applying The spurs
to his steed, raced along with the train,
standing in the saddle and gaining Oh

engine his horse colidcd with a steer ia
TIE road and down they went together.
Dawson struck on his head and lay as
one dead. Engineer Sorrenson, who had
been watching the performance from the
cab window, stopped the train and the
crew and passengers gathered around
the prostrate man. Water and whiskey
were applied, but it was several minutes
before the reckless rider reganed con
sciousness. The injured man was left
with his companion and it is probable
that he will not soon undertake a like
trick again.

The people are to be counted at their
places of residence but as some persons
and families will be away from their
homes during June there is danger that
such persons will not be counted. If
they are not counted. the locality in
which they live will be misrepresented to
that extent, and in some cases this mis-
representation may be enough to af-
feet the representation in congress
OF the state from which they come.
In all cases Of contemplated absence
the head of the family is requested by
the census office to kcommunicate with
the supervisor of the district in which
he lives. He is also requested to leave
information regarding his answers to the
questions which are to be asked with
some responsible neighbor who will agree
to see that it reaches the enumerator on
his rounds. Such information might
better be left as a memorandum in writ
ing, as in that case it is less likely to be
overlooked.
