ocracy We need not fight for Hill Democracy-we
have it without fight. Repubcanism gives us Hill
Democracy in plentiful supply
Bryan Democracy is simon-pure Jeffersonianism.
Hill Democracy is bastard Repubicanism and Southern
Democracy is a mixture Of prejudice and divine
right of smart men and rich men to rule over ignorant
men and poor men, ~ e9y
Popnlism is not in sympathy with any kind Of Dem
ocracy but that kind Of which Bryan is an exponent
and without doubt, Bryanism is in the minority either
south or east
Let US again hear from Bryan. He saws: The
party that has no higher aim than to save its own life
deserves to die great cause will live because it de-
serves to live.
Few Democratic politicians, east south have made
fight with any other aim than save its life and II is
rapidly losing its life it deserves to- No Populist
desires to save the life Of party that deserves to die
that is dying.
Populism is interested chiefly in saving principles 1t
deserves TO live because espouses great principles,
and its principles will keep the party alive in some FORM
until these principles have been attained to through
some organization and under some name. The question
is one OF principles. When Popusm wins in the east
or south it will be the dead dying organization of
both old parties. In the west the ordinary voter will
follow the leaders.
Sooner or later, new organization is necessity If
we are to save republican form Of government
Can Popuism advance the principles of that party in
an alliance with Kansas Democrats | doubt it,
The Kansas politician is just as fond of loaves and
fishes as the eastern southern politician The loaves
and-fishes man is not convert. He has not the love
Of principles, but the love Of good meal
Bryan and men like him are always excepted Bryan
would keep Democracy the Kansas City platform
He will not be able to do it,
If the Popuists Of this state decide 10 go into the
Democratic convention, they will to say the least reach
an unwse conclusion.
It might be fine thing to beat the Republican party
Of this state it deserves to be beaten and If left to
itself il is only question Of time as to its death; but
the party that beats the Republican party and keeps it
beaten must be party Of principles must be party
Of high aims and ncorruptible men. A makeshift
party is not the party Of the hour. the psrty that will
win a permanent victory. The welfare Of seventy mil
lions of people is behind the movement for party Of
principles An alliance with pretended friends will bring
shame and defeat

Carried off the Safe.
same case.

BRANcHEvIrLE, S. c., Jan. 27.-A carefully
planned and audacious express robbery took
place about I o'clock this evening, on the
Southern railroad, wien the passenger train
from Charleston reached nearly the exact site of
the successful robbery of two years ago, five
miles from Branchevile. Seven or eight men,
unmasked, rode on the platform between the
engine and baggage Ger, concealed by the
darkness. AT the fifty five mile. board, two
men crawed over the tender and covered the
engineer, 6nug two shots, one ball passing
through his cap. The, fireman escaped by
Jumping off, The conductor ran out and he
covered and ordered back. BY order of
the robbers, brakeman uncoupled the express,
mail and baggage cars, which were taken to
fifty eight station, leaving the other cars on the
main line. Here, several shots were fired into
the express car, and one man climbed up and
covered he express messenger and compelled
him to opeu the door. Three men entered the
car and rihed the local safe. After Threatening
the express messenger with instant death if he
| did not open the through safe, and finding that
he didn't know the combination, the robbers
rolled the through safe out on the platform
| The engineer was then ordered to return with
the three cars to the train, which he did, tax
ing the train to Branchevile without further
incident. But little booty was secured from
the local safe, and no one here knows,the con-
tents Of the through safe. No measures have
been taken to follow the robbers.

A DEMOCRAT.

William J. Bryan is one Democrat VINO never surren-
ders. and who refuses to die. In recent speech he
said Must we abandon the sef-evident truth that
governments derive their just powers from the consent
Of the governed1 Must we accept imperialism as an
accepted fact and join in the shout for blood and con-
ouest3 " = It is law, divine in its origin, ire
sstible in its force and eternal in its duration that
wrong doing ultimately destroys the wong-doers and no
nation is strong enough to evade or resist rerbutive
justice"
In another part Of his speech. he says Not until
we can gather good fruit from an evil tree. and tigs
from thistles, expect private monopoly to bring
forth public blessings
Still another striking passage WHO says the money
power is omnipotent and that the Democratic party
must compromise with it surrender to it Not until
human nature is entirely changed can the nancers be
entrusted with the guardianship Of the producers OF
wealth. Not until greed becomes just will the money
changers construct system for themselves that will be
fair to any one else. A top can be balanced upon its
point only when il is in rapid motion And the great
financial structure designed by Wall street, for the ben
eft Of Wall street. will stand upright only so long as
can be kept whirlng The collapse will come when the
speed is slackened'
We have here quite enough to show that Bryan has
not changed But what mean so many queries? Does
Bryan perceive the drift of present Democratic tenden
cles 2 1t would seem that Bryan apprehends Demo
cratic surrender to the money power of Wall street.
And this reminds us that tremendous effort is being
made to wheel the Populists Of Kansas into line with
the national Democratic cohorts Ought the effort to
succeed1 What the gain A careful survey Of the
field leads to the conclusion that the controlling politi
clans Of the Democratic party have not only surrendered
TO the money power. but are part and parcel OF Wall
street-are just ready Republicans to "shout for
blood and conquest and all the Southern states,
the sefevdent truth that governments derive their just
powers from the consent Of the governed has been
abandoned and set up in its place the seevident lie
that the few should govern the many AS 60 the poti
clans. SO 30 the voters. A great many Democratic
politicians followed Bryan in the hope Of loaves and
fishes, not for principle. 1t the hope Of reward in
offices that held the Of the Democratic party in
line for Bryan. The Of the Democratic party will
vote for Hill or German

THE PHILIPPINE BURDEN.

The candid declarations of Cover
nor Taft, and the conditions illustrated
by the debate in the Senate. make it
more apparent than ever that the Phil
ippines are a load to carry. and will
continue to be burden and disgrace
so long as we hold them.
The recognition of this by many con-
sentative statesmen is a gain in the
right direction. Another great gain
is the final discrediting of the leaders
who induced Congress to take the mad
Philippine plunge. Their prophecies
are so ludicrously falsified that 1t
would be cruel even to recall them.
Their golden phrases have turned to
ashes in their mouths. Gems and
