for the protection of the rights ana
privileges of American citizens where
ever they may be, and to confound
such with the permanent planting OF
the flag on American soil, as an en-
blem of territorial possessions and ma
tional sovereignty. He does not seem
to understand that the flag may float
anywhere and everywhere for the pro-
lection of American citizens, and that
1t floats at home not only for such pro-
lection, but as an emblem of soyer-
eighty. He does not seem to recognize
any difference between the migratory
and ubiquitous use of that flag to pro-
tect American rights throughout the
world, and the use of that flag to de-
note the exclusive power and jurisdlc-
ton of the United States In every part
of our own country.
"In comparing the removal of the flag
from foreign soil, when the purpose
for which 1t was taken there shall have
been accomplished, with the tearing
down of the flag on American soil in
the face Of an enemy, Mr.. Bryan dis
plays ignorance of the question, or a

reach the port.

not necessarily indicate that our gov

Foolish election bets seldom afford
such delightful opportunities to dem
onstrate their folly as wager recent
ly made by two western men, one Of
whom has agreed that If his candidate
is defeated he will twist the tail OF
a vicious mule belonging to the other
man once a day for three weeks, "or
until incapacitated." Doubtless the
mule who is made factor" In the
bet is not an offensive partisan. He
may not even be interested in politics
at all; but if the terms of the wager
are fulfilled, he Will probably see to 1t
that the man who twists his tail does
not vote any more.

Governor Thomas is outspoken and
frank in praise of his police machine
for the reason that it left the city of
Denver Mt the mercy of hold-ups and
murderers while the officers attended
to the more important work of defeat
ing Thomas ]. Maloney mt the Demo-
cratic primaries.
1.-The use of the police at any cleo
ton is not good municipal business"
said Governor Thomas, with charming
righteousness. 1.-The activity of any
particular department of municipal
government in politics should, under
ordinary circumstances, be condemned,
but it was the only way to get rid of
Thomas j. Maloney and to protect the
voter. We can settle down to normal
conditions when we get rid of Maloncy,
and neither the police nor any other
agency will be needed"
This bland. straightforward state
ment will do much to enlighten the cit
liens of Denver as to the inwardness
of the recent withdrawal of the police
from their ordinary duties, and the
consequent sudden increase of vio-
lence and crime in the city.
When the police We're most PERM
ciously active in their political work,
preceding the holding of the Democrat
ic primaries, there We're five hold-ups
in two days, and yet the department
has not made one arrest that seems to
have justification. But it was "the
only way" to get rid of Thomas J. Ma.
loney; and the governor of the state of
Colorado says that Denver citizens
must be content and wait until the po-
lice force settles down TO normal con
ditions."-Denver Republican.

In defense of their action the set

A farmer in Clay county. Iowa, has
a bin containing about eight hundred
bushels of wheat. A little over
month ago he proposed to market the
grain, but on going to the bin he dis
covered that a hen had established her
nest on the wheat, was setting there
and that to remove the grain would
"break her up" He decided not to
disturb her but wait until she came
of with the chicks. In the meantime
the price of wheat advanced until the
farmer discovered he had gained over
500 by allowing the hen to sit u out.

The heaviest failures during the first
six months of this year were those OF
speculative and brokerage concerns
which never added much to the wealth
or worth of the country. Omitting their
twenty eight millions of debt, the
average defaulted liability" to each
failure was ten thousand three hun
bred and eighty-ive dollars, which is
about sixty-five hundred dollars less
than the average liability last year,
and, in fact, is the lowest average re
corded in 26 years.

Some most astonishing facts have
been brought to light in the Jewish
world, concerning the number of Jew
ish suicides in the United States. 1t
appears that in 113 days no fewer than
66S Jews out of 100000 killed them
selves. In England the proportion
averages eight in 100000. In Russia
81 In Austria sixteen in 100000. No
reason is suggested for Jews in free
country wishing to make away with
themselves at such a rate.

Port Townsend. Wash, Sept. 10
The steamship Elihu Thomson arrived
from Cape Nome tonight, bringing 200
passengers. many of whom are without
means The Thomson sailed from
Nome August 2Sth. and her officers re-
port conditions but little changed.
There are about $1,000 people there,
many of them in destitute circum-
stances and as winter approaches
much llneasiness prevails among the
unfortunates. as they can see no pros
poets of getting away and nothing
ahead but suffering and perhaps death.
Before the Thomson sailed from
Nome n report reached here that rich
diggings had been struck on Bluestone
creek, this side of Cape York. and par
ties who came down from Bluestone
reported that they had found plenty of
dust. This caused Il stampede and all
small steamers and schooners at Nome
headed for the scene of the new strike,
loaded with passengers, while many
started out in small boats. 1t is said
by the time the stampede is over and
the last steamer of the season sails
south, Nome will be almost depopu-
lated.
The captain of the Thomson says the
first claims located ut Nome are show
ing up well. 1t having taken the entire
season to place them in working order.
Nome is practically free from sickness,
smallpox and other diseases having
disappeared except among the Indians

It seems rather odd for Indians to
hold the balance of power in any part
OF this country, but the Omaha Bee
says that this is the case in Thurston
county, Neb. The entire population OF
tho county ip about 1000, half of whom
are Winnebago and Omaha Indians
about equally divided. The white men
are Republicans and Fusionists In
about equal numbers, and the Indians
having been given the right of suffrage,
will determine what county officers are
