Brooklyn man was MANNED yesterday
by the explosion of an Internal machine
which had been sent to a friend. This Is
the first successful bomb for many a day.
Usually. fortunately for human safety. the
contrivances Of the long-distance murder
ers fail to work at the right moment. or
are so suspicious in appearance that they
are promptly consigned to a water bucket
before examination. If the art of making
grenades which would stand the rough
usage OF the mails were more highly de-
veloped there would probably be more
homicides by this means. 1t Is to be hoped
that a successful prosecution will follow
in this case. to put damper upon the
murderously inclined who hope to slay
without mourning the consequences of
their crime.

Mr. Bryans tribute to the south and to
southern men is doubtless sincere 1t
ought to be. The south has been very kind
20 Mr.. Bryan. 1t has twice supported him
for the presidency on a platform about
which its men of substance were seriously
divided. 1t gave him on both occasions the
majority of the electoral votes he received.
II has welcomed him on his visits with en-
thusiasm. Why should he not hold the
south and its leaders in high appreciation?
But when Mr.. Bryan proposes southern
man for President he ought to know that
the proposition coming from him is open
To insuperabie objections.
Southern men in office who have differed
from Mr.. Bryan on the money question
have all been retired to private life OF
course he does not refer to any one OF
them. Mr. Gray OF Delaware stood in the
front rank in the Senate. and was very
useful to his state and section. but his
advocacy of sound money cost him his
office and influence He Is now en- the
bench. Judge Lindsay of Kentucky re-
ralled to the country the days when the
blue grass state was one of the most In
tiuential in the Senate. But he rejected
free silver coinage. and his party at home
rejecte ed him. His place is now filled by a
man of the Bryan-Tillman school Of finance
MIR CafYery of Louisiana was defeated for
reelection solely because of his fiews and
votes on the money question. AS a lawyer
and debater he was very much respected
IN the Senate. and most promising career
there was cut short by the Bryanite in
fluence.
MIR Bryan's reference therefore is to
hose southern men who accept his judg-
ment as to money. He would have Ills
oarty nominate one of them for President.
But why do that? If the democracy Is to
hold on to what is known as Organism.
why not hold on to Mr.. Bryan? What
southern man could hope to fill Mr.. Bryans
place as the advocate of the policies en-
braced in the Kansas City platform? There
is not one. II we except Mr. Morgan Of
Alabama and Mr.. Cockrell of Missouri
the champions of silver among the south
ern men are not easily brought within
range of presidential calculations as to ex-
perence and reputation in political life.
The Grays. Lindsays Cafferys and Turner's
are all on the other side of the fence. and
therefore not available.
Mr. Bryan Is little dazed just low. and
Is talking too hurriedly. He will come to
see after season that he cannot separate
himself from that for which he stands:
that if his platform is rejected he will he
rejected and that those who make the
new platform will pay no heed to mis- sug-
gestions about the candidate. If the demo-
cratic party abandons silver it should take
it's leader from a section where silver has
not dominated. And it probably will.

Idlers Not Wanted,
From the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-sun.

One of the great needs of Columbus Just
now is more people. The Industrial build
ing up and development going on In the
city Is keeping abreast of the increase in
population, and the demand for workers is
far ahead Of the supply. There is hardly a
mill or manufacturing industry mere but
needs more labor. and there is work In these
industries for thousand or more people
that can be had for the asking. An official
In one of our largest factories stated only
Yesterday that he believed there was room
In Columbus for five thousand more people
tnan were mere. and that work to support
that number could be furnished nv the
various manufacturing enterprises Of the
city. People who want steady work at fair
wages are invited to come to Columbus.

Building Improved Tenements.

From the New York Tribune.
Already those who pledged their faith
that the new tenement law would prove to
be practical as well as theoretically bene-
fetal finding themselves vindicated by
events. Many persons feared that the new
law would result in serious falling off in
the amount Of building in the tenement dis
tricts. and even the members of the tene-
ment house commission are said to have
expected a lull for year, until the build
ing plans filed under the old law had be-
come exhausted. But this does not prove
to be the case. 1t is now announced that
plans for new tenements to cost nearly q
million dollars have been filed since the
building portion Of the new law became eff
fective In the middle Of April. This is as
surprising as it is gratifying. 1t indicates
how shallow was the chatter that sought
to prevent the carrying out by the legisla-
ture of the plans devised by the commits
sion.
