BRYAN on HILES CANDIDACY.
Says the Money Plank OF the New Workers
Platform Il for Artful Dodgers.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 5-Mr. Bryan
gave out to-day an advance copy of an
editorial In this weeks Commoner upon
-The Candidacy Of Mr.. Hill He takes
Mr.. Hills speech before the Manhattan
announcement Of his candidacy for Presi-
dent. Mr.. Bryan says;
He is the favorite son Of the reorganiz-
ing element In the Democratic party; he
IL the special representative Of those who
have so completely forgotten the story
of the prodigal son that they would place
the parental homestead on wheels and
start in hot pursuit of the wsyward son,
determined TO compel the boy to eat fatted
calf even II the husks have DESTROYED his
taste for wholesome food"
Inc money plank OF Mr.. Hills plat
form Is most unique and alluring TO an art
ful dodger. A man could stand on that
platform and advocate gold, silver, nickel
or copper, and after election declare that
hard money simply meant money that
was hard TO get AZ the Republican party
does not advocate "irredeemable paper
money IL Is evident that Mr.. Hill Is simply
trying To get even with tho Populists who
supported the Democratic ticket when he
sulked and skulked. He can forgive tho
Gold Democrats who voted the Papubli~
can ticket and swallowed high tarin, i'm
perialism and the trusts in order TO keen
The New York flnanciers in control Of the
Federal treasury, but he Ia not willing 10

cratic party in It's hour OF need.
MIR. Hills complete subservience To
the financiers, his unhesitating obediance

his pretended interest in bimetallism ss
hypocritical. Mr.. Hill is the leader of

Col. FRANCIS W. PARKER. who died the
other day at Pass Christian, has left his
mark on the common school system OF the
United States and gained a niche In the
educational temple OF fame by the side OF
HORACE MANN. A quarter Of a century
ago the experiments he made In the Quincy
schools. backed by the iconoolastic CHARLES
FRANCIS ADAMS, served TO rouse Boston
from Its scholastic slumbers and to prove
that no matter how good a school system
may have been 1t becomes bad II not kept
abreast Of the times.
Whether the benefits Of the Quincy
methods have been all that their admir-
ers believe may be open to doubt. food
of German pedagogical philosophy has been
poured into unfortunate teachers, to be
sure. and the cult of the child carried from
the kindergarten into higher grades. That
the products Of this more rational and con-
siderate training can read or speak or think
as well as the rough output OF the brutal
days Of the unspared rod many elderly
observers acquainted with both kinds. may
not be ready to admit.
Methods Of all sorts, we fancy, count lit

character and individuality. Col. PARKER
had enough Of both to impress strongly his
pupils and much Of the good ascribed to his
methods really belonged to the man. His
influence. diluted in his immediate scholars,
Is little perceptible in remoter generations
Of teachers. and one Of these days we shall
probably have some new prophet proclaim
ing that the Cook county system is
mechanical and harmful.
That does not detract from the worth Of
the original. Col. PARKER was an innova-
tor; he stirred things up and made men

NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING.

CHAIRMAN Mercef OF Vno hOuso SOmmittee
Says the bill VIII b . Reported.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The New York
city delegation in the House, with the
exception Of Messrs. 6ulzer and Belmont,
met to-day and voted to ask the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds to report
the Cummings bill. appropriating s3.6oo.o 900
toward the purchase Of site for and the
construction Of a post Office building in
New York. It provides that the selection
Of the site shall be made by q commission
consisting Of the Postmaster General, the
Secretary OF the Treasury, the Postmaster
Of New York, and the President OF the
New York Board Of Trade and Transpor-
tation and the President the Of Chamber
Of Commerce OF the State Of New York.
This course was deemed preferable TO

The Kings County sheriff.

II is announced from Albany that
Governor ODELL is not likely TO remove
Sheriff GUDEN of Kings county, because
the Acknowledgement has announced that
he can find no precedent for the removal
of Sheriff on general charges.
The Constitution of the State of New
York in Article X, section /. gives the
Governor of the State the power to
remove Sheriffs, Clerks OF counties,
District Attorneys and Registers, subject
only to the following proviso, giving
TO such officer a copy OF the charges
against him and an opportunity Of
being heard in his defence"
The power of removal, therefore, il
absolute and complete, it being only
necessary for the Governor to go
through the forms of serving a copy Of
the charges on the accused, and Of Civ
ing him formal hearing. The charges
may be general and loose, or they may
be specific and in detail-it matters not;
the Governor is his own master in the
premises.
We do not remember the exact form
Of all the charges preferred against
the Sheriff of Kings county, but the
hearing developed enough facts against
the Sheriff TO warrant the Governor
to order his speedy removal, because
It was perfectly clear that man against
whom such evidence could be produced
was not the proper Sheriff OF rich
and populous county. The announce
ment Of the Acknowledgement that he
can find no precedent for the removal
of n Sheriff on general charges must
be taken, therefore, as designed to ex-
cuse the non-action Of the Executive
in this particular instance.

The American Automobile Associa.
ton.

The American Automobile Association,
organized last Tuesday in Chicago at a
convention of delegates from eight of
the leading automobile clubs in the
United States, is the outcome Of many
arguments and discussions concerning
the desirability of forming a national
association of the chaufreurs.
The problem Of how all. or at least,
the more prominent Of these clubs could
be affiliated and properly represented in
q national organization, so as to promote
the common interests OF their members,
and at the same time be permitted to
enjoy their present distinction individ-
ually, has been difficult. Should the Au-
tomobile Club Of America, because Of its
size and influence and familiarity with
the conditions affecting automobiles gen.
orally. assume the leadership in effecting
the proposed union; or should the matter
be referred to a convention to be com
posed Of several Of the larger clubs?
This question was finally disposed Of at
! meeting of the New York club in Feb
rnary, at which il was resolved that q
convcntion-the one held on Tuesday
should be called in Chicago in order
that the best course to pursue might

Notwithstanding the diversity Of opn-
IN heretofore expressed by many Of the
clubs throughout the country as TO the

Club Of America that il was entitled to

tion leaves no doubt that the desires Of

Ito Gen. Luke Wright. In other
words, the first citizen in the land
20 consented to take second place

abilities be recognizes and whose
services to his country he Justly esti-
mates.
AIRY effort made to mitigate the
importance and consequence OF the
occasion OF mar its success or dis
co lrage it in any way, merits the
Sc ye t censure. The iconoclastic
b nd raised to tear down on such an

thwart those who are seeking to make
the occasion great success is civil
treason and dagger plunge at the
| fair name of Memphis, which lie on
trial.
Therefore, the Commercial Appeal:
in the name of decency, in the name
of Southern civilization, in the name
of Memphis and in the name of COM
mon courtesy and right and COM
munal honor, protests against the
attitude of the Scimitar, repudiates
its utterances, and denies that it

ment, or anything save the eccentric
abriations of its editor, whose heart

reprobated by the unfortunate
vanity of an undisciplined intellect.

Commercial Appeal, Oct. 1, 1901;
He has cut himself off socially
from the South. No Southern woman
with a proper self respect would now
accept an INITIATING to the White
House, nor would President Roose-
Welt be welcomed today in Southern
homes. He has not infamed the
anger OF the Southern people, he has
excited their disgust. He has not
exhibited boldness by the coarse in
novation; he has manifested vulgar
disregard for the feelings Of those
who formerly respected and ad-
mired him. Certainly the South re-
pudiates him. 1t pities his Northern
half, and expatriates with adherence
and contempt his Southern half.
Washington is not to blame. From
slave pen to the table Of the Presi-
dent of the United States is a long
cry. 1t is the President who has given
offenSe.
President Roosevelt has committed
a blundel that is worse than crime,
and no atonement or future act of
his can remove the self-imprinted
stigma.
1t is now incumbent on those
white Democrats of the South who
have received appointments at the
hands of President Roosevelt to re-
sign their offices. They cannot otford
to remain the recipients of ally favor
at his hands. Certainly there is no
honor attached to his benevoences
or bestowals.
