NARROW ESCAPE
Deputy Clerk SChramm Almost Caught Under
aCar.

Mr.. A. A. Schramm, Deputy Clerk in
the Probate Office, met with a very
narrow escape from death yesterday
while coming down Putnam street on
his wheel. In front of the St. Clair
Building he turned across the street
car track without hearing the warning
bell of an approaching street car
which was too close upon him to be
stopped.
The car struck his wheel and threw
him violently upon the pavement but
fortunately he had the presence of
mind to roll off the track before the
car reached him. 1t was almost a mir
acle that he was not killed.
Mr.. Schramm sustained a few bruis-
es and broken wheel but beyond that
the accident had no bad results.

PAROYYSMS
OF Popocracy Still Bob Up Every Now and
Then.

Perhaps Mr.. Abbot will excuse me
for frank phrase that seems to me to
cover about five-sevenths of the space
devoted to the Democratic side OF the
forum. 1t is the very popycockery Of
Populism, and it is stale stuff at war
with the greatness and goodness of the
country. This stuff so stale, does not
burn, or bite, or prick, or pinch any
thing that is going on today in this
country. 1t is the fermentation of old
slop, oppressive buc without the
strength to be malarious. Why should
we listen to the twaddle that flows
about the various schemes of retroac-
tive reputation in this country? II
the whole country was like Kansas
when PETER predominated, things
would be different. The paper money
cure for all financial diseases is played
out. The redemption OF paper money
by letting it wear out is also played
out Populism is or rather was a par
oxysn. 1t is paroXysmal folly-it is
fundamental foolishness. Mr.. Bryan,
fertile as his fancy, could think of
nothing better to say than that it was
educating" and it has educated him
into the greatest blunder any public
man ever was guilty of-that Of apply
ing the Monroe doctrine to Asia to
threatening with war allied Europe to
defend his International, idiosyncracy
the most extraordinary of modern in
ventions. 1t is in behalf of Bryan's
speciality in poppycock--5he Monroe
doctrine in Asia-that they mean to
have an extraordinary session of con-
gress just as soon as Bryan is inaug-
urated president of the United States
and bless the Lord-not day sooner.
