A PERFIDIOUS LAW.

The law passed by the last legis- lature which requires the citizen to pay two dollars and a half poll tax before he can register, is law which virtually has for its purpose the Acknowledgement of the poor man. The law in effect says you must register before you can vote, and you must pay a poll tax to get your name on the register. Two dollars and half is large sum for the poor man who labors for liv- ing. It is a large sum for man who has a family to support. The law is a great hardship. It means the disfranchisement of hundreds of honest but poor citizens. This was no doubt the purpose of the law. The law should be repealed. The author of such an infamy when discovered should receive a public censure. No man should be sent to the next legislature who will not pledge himself for a repeal of the law. It is class legislation of the most obnoxious character. It dis crim1nates against the poor man. It is unjust, un-American. It is perfdious.-Star.
 We agree with you, brother, but the SENTINEL favors abolishing the poll tax entirely.

Bryan has peculiar sort of logic. Before the convention he insisted and demanded that Is to 1 plank be inserted in the platform, saying that the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform was not sufficient. Now that nothing was said in the Kansas City platform about the income tax, he declares that the indorsement of the Chicago platform covers the question perfectly. Such trifing may be thought shrewd, but It is neither good politics nor respecta- ble statesmanship.

The platform of the Republican party this year is as strong as was the demand of the people for the unanimous nomination of Mckinley and Roosevelt. Of the President it said: "Walking untried paths and facing unforeseen responsibili- ties, President Mckinley has been in every situation the true Ameri- can patriot and the upright states man, clear in vision, strong in Judg- ment, firm in action, always inspir- ing and deserving the confidence of his countrymen In asking the people to endorse the Republican
 party for its record of business prosperity, stable currency and patriotic Americanism, it should be remembered that the threat to pros perity has always existed in the ranks of the Democratic party as we'll as in its incapaclty to properly manage our public affairs.

In order to find historic parallel to the manner in which the Demo- crats treat the negroes in some parts of the South, 1t will be necessary to search among the records of the early Spanish conquerors of Amer ica. Yet Bryan would have the people believe that the mantle of Lincoln has fallen upon his shoul- ders.

Bryan is fond of pointing to the fact that Lincoln always had great faith in the "plain people, and therefore he trusts his cause to the plain people. It should be ob- served, however, that Lincoln never tried to ''fool''' the plain people.
