The Courier wonders why Judge Grace run the slot machines out of Pine Blutf and permits the crap joints and other gambling places to do business wide open as usual. The Courier rightly says it was the lesser of the evils that was elimin- ated. But ip a reform start is better than notbing at all, and per haps the judge has only commenced the good work. It is a fact, how ever, that gambling as conducted in most places is the very worst Of all evils. Saloonsdo not compare for real damage done. and the town or city that keeps the hells out is to be congratulated. Later-1udge Grace hauled Editor Hummer up for con- tempt.

THE trial)G f Jessie Morrison for the killing Of
Mrs. DIN Castle at ElDorado, which has been
going on there the past two weeks, has develop
ed two points pretty generally accepted by those
who have read the proceedings one is that DIN
Castle is primarily responsible for the tragedy,
and the other is hat the Morrison woman is de-
mented. Wichita Democrat.
And the action OF the people who are trying
so hard to convict Jessie Morrison, especially
the Methodist church of ElDorado and tile Re-
publican papers, proves very conclusively that
politics enters nto the case; that the Morrisons
are Populists or Democrats, and that the Cast
les Republicans. The action of the church
in raising money "to secure the conviction OF
Miss Morrison is leprehensible, to say the least.
If you will notice, the Republican papers are
most rabid against Jessie Morrison, and color
the reports to create sentiment against her.

In regard to the future we must trust to the
ultimate triumphs of justice. We do not want
to win if the democratic party must be mort
gagged to Wall street as it was each time we
elected Cleveland. If the government must be
run by corrupt Hami'tononisin we want the
republicans to do it. The democratic party
must stand for equality and justice, or else it
has no mission. Il is far more glorious to fight
for these eternal principles and go down than
to betray them and win. Further, in the end
these principles will triumph AS for Mr.. Bry-
an, he has made the greatest fight for the cause
OF humanity ever made OH this continent, and
is still the idol of the people. He is 2 ,ooo, 900
votes stronger than any other man in our party.
AS rule the men who talk about reorganizlng
the democratic party are mere corporation
creatures who supported Mckinley because they
were not permitted TO run the democratic party

What's The Scheme?

Tuesdays Chicago Record contains an ac-
count of the organization OF an Expansion
Cage" which promises to annex Canada and
Ireland to the United States. The account is
rather vague, however, aud full particulars can
not be learned at present. The legue has had
million circular letters printed, and they are
now being mailed to as many families of this
country. When received, full particulars will
be learned
Among the vice pre- sidents of the league are
Mark Hanna, VIM. J. Bryan, Adlai Stevenson
Senator Jones and large number of prominent
men of the nation.
Evidently the move is one of importance,
but what it is we can only surmise We shall
publish particulars when we get them.

tanned to large liberty and self-government, and
lost ALL but no other people afford perfect par
alell The masses in Greece or Rome were
only an ignorant herd, and bore with many
forms of oppression in their best days that
would cause revolt in America in fortnight
Americans are thoroughbred Democrats. The
worlds best blood flows in American veins. 1t
cannot be that plutocracy can rule forever, or
that any mere man can be crowned king or en-
peror over people decended from the men who
taught under Washington or Grant. The Amer
erican people can never move backward till the
plant has attained maturity and the soil has
ceased to nourisb.
That time has not come. We have more and
better schools, and more children in our schools
in proportion TO population, than at any time in
the life of our republic. A more active and in
teligent warfare is being waged against vice
now than last year, or any year since America
became a nation. There are more temperate
people in America than in any other nation on
the face of the earth.
If the love of liberty is based upon, or con-
nected with, intelligence and rapidly growing,
in at least rwo essentials. When our people
rightly understand the situation, the remedy for
the evils that confront us will be discovered,
and promptly applied. That is our history,
from the beginning, and will be our history, to
the end of time. "Although we may be poor,
we can never be a slave" So saith the poet
Having put our hand to the plow, we will go
forward. We need no reorganization. We
need raise no new issues.
A trucking political party has never won
victories. The old Wing party produced but
few great men, and made but little impression
upon American politics. Its great men would
rather have been president than have advanced
great great principles. Bryan would rather ad-
vance great principles than be president.
The abandonment of the main principles Of
the Kansas City platform means defeat and
contempt.
The Wing party died because it was always
tying to concliate the multitude. 1t was both
hot and cold on the slavery questionable great
issue of the days of its existence. 1t was
spewed out by the live Americans because it
had no courage.
If SC. called "Bryansm' is right, all We need
is courage to fight on under the banners Of 90
ard 1900 In the end victory will be ours.

NOT BEATEN.

Bryan is not so badly beaten as our enemies
would have the people believe. On the popul-
ar vote there is room for great encouragement.
According to information published in the Chi
cago News, Bryan gained four hundred thous-
and votes in the Eastern states. The gain in
the Eastern states is evidence that so called
Organism" is gaining ground.
-Four years from now, Organism will still be
better understood by the masses than now, and
will as surely gain ground as that the sun will
continue to shine. All we need to do, is to con-
tnue the fight along the lines of government
for the people. Sooner or later Republicanism
is sure to hang itself Left to the present drift
without check, some event unusually startling
will arouse the multitude, and, in indignation,
Republcanism will be tramped into oblivion.
There people of the North slept till the reb-
els fired on Fort Sumpter. 1t was the roar of
cannon that aroused the war Democrat to action
and caused him t. sever the ties that bad bound
him to disloyal party.
From the days of John c. Calhoun, down to
President Buchanan, the Democratic machine
was loyal to just one institution, and that was
the "peculiar institution of chattel slavery.
From president Mckinley, the Republican ma
chine has been loyal to only one class of the
American people. That class is the so-called
Capitalist
The old Democratic machine was run by
careful engineers till familiarity bred contempt
and the intoxication of power bred supreme
recklessness. Then came the determined re-
volt of Western Democracy and the total wreck
of the old machine.
Some men, alive to-day, will see parallel
ending of the Hanna machine to the old slave
ocratic machine. Slaveocracy presumed that
it had attained TO unlimited power over its pc
culiar institution AS the sequel has shown, it
presumed far more than it was able to sustain,
either in the Union or out of the Union. Han
naism will, undoubtedly, presume far, more
than the people will bear with.
Strangely enough, it was the Democrats who
furnish the military genius of the Northern
armies. When the war came, Stanton, the
great war secretary of Lincoln'S cabinet, was
Democrat. Grant, Sheridan, Hancock, Sickles,
Rosecrans and host of other commanders were
Democrats. They furnished fuel to run the old
machine to certain point, and then helped
smash the wicked old concern when its
pineer attempted to run down cold Glory"
When the time comes, Republicans will help
smash the machine they have so industriously
assisted in constructing.
The war Democrat was loyal to the core
There are tens of thousands of Republicans
who have as little use for plutocracy as l have,
and that is saying good deal.
America will continue to be a republic, and
plutocracy will rule only for time. | know
not the duration of that time, but be su1e that
the time will come when the corporations that
are now plundering the American people will
have fallen lower than fell Jeff Davis and slave
ocracy. l am aware that other nations have at

If the Republicans really want to destroy the
Peoples party or the Democratic party, or both,
