A DespiCabIe Attack.

the sad tragedy. At the same time, if Colonel
Bryan and others of his stripe had not made so
many speeches, stirring up class hatred and
disappearing the government, the tragedy
might not have occurred.-Kansas City Journal.
The narrowness that dictated the sentiment
expressed in the paragraph quoted is the spirit
that makes the bitterness of partisan politics.
At this time, when the nation is strained with
sympathy for the president, the breaking out
OF such spirit is reproach to journalism and
American manhood, says the Kansas City
Times. This is no time TO indulge in partisan
rancor, and the high sentiments expressed by
Mr.. Bryan should have dsarmed the petty par
tisanship of even such narrow organ as the
Journal. Even had the defeated candidate OF
the Democracy remained silent, this sort of
attack would be impossible, except in parti-
san at once bigoted and vicious. There is no
foundation for such an attack. Mr.. Bryan is a
man of vigorous intellect and forceful charac-
tel, He has not hesitated to give voice to the
convictions he holds, and he has, at times,
been bitter in his attacks upon Republican pol
itics and Republican doctrines, but we defy any
man, or newspaper, to show that he has ever
been anything but high-thinking patriot,
striving to serve his country according to his
lights.
The Times believes that the sentiment ex-
pressed by the Journal will be disavowed by
the Republican press of the country generally.
1t is despicabe as it IS vicious, and we do not
believe that the opponents of Republicanism
will endorse an attempt to make political capt.
tai out of the deplorable event which has made
nation grieve. The Journal in its bigotry,
seems to have conceived the iGea that Mr.. Nc
Kinley was president of the Republican party.
Its view of politics begins with spoils, and it
esteems the president only because he is the
giver of official gifts.
institutions in press which is capable of hold
ing the views held by the Journal and of ex-
pressing such sentiment as that quoted above,
than all the teachings of the anarchs A news
paper that assumes the calamity which has
overlaken the country to be cause for grief
only to political party, and which seeks to
make political capital out of such an event as
the assassination of the president, is capable OF
any political baseness.
When William Mckinley was elected to the
presdencn by the franchises CT majority of
the voters of the country, he ceased to be The
candidate of the Republicans, and became the
president OF the whole country. He was enti-
tied to, ard was given, the respect of all the
people, without regard to party or creed. Men
who could not align themselves with his polit
ical views did not fail to recognize in him the
representative of the majority. His high char
acter and pure life made men who disapproved
his politics esteem and love him.
The baseness of an organ which cannot dis
tinguish between political rivalry and personal
sentiments puts it very tar down in the ethical
scale, indeed.

HEAVY FINE FOR
 POLICEMAN GLOER Six Months at Hard Labor
 and $100 lNSUlTED A YOUNG LADY Chief Austin Asks Judge Feagin To Give Him Full Sentence of the Law-The Judge Complied
 With the Request.
INSULTED A YOUNG LADY

Patrolman J. W. Gloer of the Birming- ham police department was yesterday convicted in the inferior criminal court on a charge of aggravated disorderly conduct and was fined stoO and sentenced to six months Imprisonment at hard labor
 The evidence In court yesterday dis closed the fact that Officer Gloer while in full uniform and on duty had grossly insulted young woman. Chief of Po- lice Austin learned of the matter through the young lady's relatives and had Officer Gloer arrested and put in jail. His badge was taken from him and he was not allowed to give bond.
 The offense occurred Sunday morning just before church hours The young lady, who is a bookkeeper at a Second avenue dry goods establishment, was standing in front of the door of the store intending to go in and attend to a few little matters, when she was insulted by the officer.
 Chief Austin made full statement of the case to Judge Feagin yesterday and
 
 defendant the full extent of the law.
 1T know the character of the young lady who was insulted is above reproach," !" said the chief.
 "The man being an officer of the law his punishment should be more severe than otherwise"
 Gloer plead guilty to the charge and ota Al fbo& !, for the mercy of the court
 'I have a family depending upon me-" he said, "and l ask for as light a sent ence as possible.''
 Judge Feagin gave the defendant talk. He stated that the uniform of an officer meant much; above all, that 1t meant the wearer should be a guardian of the peace; that people who were in need of information or help usually went to pn officer, and that they should never abuse this trust. He ended by announcing the fine as above. The fine was not paid and the prisoner was sent to Jail.
 Chief Austin stated last night that cer- tain publications left the impression that the police department had determined, in the event that Gloer decided to fight the case, to employ an attorney to defend him. The fact, he stated, was that the police department had determined to em- ploy an attorney to prosecute Gloer had it been necessary.
 Gloer came to Birmingham from At- lanta. having served on the police force there. He brought good recommendations and secured a position in the Birmingham department. He has been here about a year, and was once tried by the police commission for improper conduct, but got off light
 He has been suspended by Chief Aus tin and formal charges will be made against him. There is little doubt of his dismissal from the force at the next meeting of the commission.
