Reflections of a Bachelor

From the New York Press.
Fat peop'e never get any credit for
being miserable.
The average man would never have a
conscience If he didn't have stomach,
A woman judges a man the same
way as she doeF book-by the dedi-

It's always a wonder to a man how
an Easter bride can brazen it out the

A girl always likes to tell ber en-
gagement to one girl friend first, so
she can find out what all the otner
women say when they hear it,

PRETTY TOUGH. BUT TRUE.

In discussing the un-called for bolt
at the Ell Reno convention, the Wood
ward Dispatch grows reminiscent. 1t
says:
The Wisby-Johnson squad that
bolted the Ell Reno convention took
their seats on the floor with the open
unconcealed intention OF boiling, if
things did not go to suit them'-and
il is best as il is. 1t is a good rid
dance of bad rubbish. 1t purifes the
party and purges it up of foul loEth-
Some feculent mess.
D" Johnson never was a Democrat, and
does not even live in Oklahoma but re.

WHIT THE ISSUES WILL BE.

81 say, as have before many times"
said Mr.. Bryan, in Chicago, when
asked what he thought the Democratic
platform and issues this year would
or should be, that l think the three
big questions before us are money,
trusts and imperialism. The money
question, of course, includes the
question of silver and of paper money:
the question of Imperialism includes
militarism and the policy of which
our national admins strs tion's work in
the Philippines and attitude on the
Boer question are samples.
II believe the principles adopted in
the plat 'orm of 90 were adopted as a
part Of the creed never to be departed
from. l do not think they should or
can be departed ftom this year. That
platform must. however, be added as
new issues arise. / do not expect to
be deleg ate to the national conver-
tion and cannot presume to scuss
the form in which these principles
should be stated in the platform to be
adopted there.
81 cannot undertake to say what
will be the paramount issue. No man
can. One thinks one question is the
biggest and another man thinks
another is.
What do l think should be done in
the Philippines? l think this country
should tell these deople that we are
there only for the purpose of estab-
fishing stable government s1d that
when we have done so we should turn
the islands over to the people there
and protec; them against foreign sg-
gression as we have protected the
South American Republics.
"On a platform as indicated the
people are ready to march to victory
with Col. Bryan. They have grown
heartsore of promises from the Re-
publican party and now turn conf
IDENTIFY to the Nebraskan TO deliver
them from the trusts, monarchy and
bank rule.
The issues so generally discussed in
'96 may not receive the attention this
year as they did four years ago, but it
will not be because disposition exists
to abandon them. If the Democratic
party is clothed with power it will be
found as ready to give them force In
law as any of the newer questions
which have arisen out of the war and
the politics of the present administra-
tion. Mr.. Bryan strikes the keynote
when he says: Il believe the princi-
pies adopted in the platform of '9G
were adopt-d as a part of the creed
never to be departed from. do not
think they should or can be departed
from this year. That platform, must
however, be added to as new issues
arise"

SUICIDE OF A REPORTER.
The Man Who Warned GOebeI Kill,
himself.


LEXINGTON, Ky, April sd. T. Bax-
ter, a well-known newspaper correspond
ent, committed suicide at his home here
yesterday. He, first attempted 70 end his
life with a pair of small scissors. Five
deep wounds were made by the blades OF
the instrument. He then shot bullet
into his brain. The deed was not discov-
cred until his daughter went to his room
to call him.
During the night he suffered from hal
lucinations. He imagined that detectives
wanted him because of the fact that he
had warned Senator Goebel that there was
danger OF his being killed. few days
prior to the assassination of GOebel Bax-
ter said that he had dream which caus-
ed him to send word to Goebel that his
life was in danger
This preyed on his mind and he imagin-
ed that the detectives working on the Goe-
bel assassination wanted him 20 >teH why
he had warned Senator GoebeI. He had
packed his trunk and left several notes
stating that he would leave tie State per
haps never to return
IL developed at the inquest that the
pistol with which the deed was commit
| ted had been found by him some weeks
! ago, and that he had advertised YESTERDAY
/ for the owner. The theory that he haC
been murdered was advanced because o
| the fact that the bullet wound in his heaC
was unusually far back and that in non,
OF the letters he left had he said anythin,
about suicide.
