Fight it Out.

Bryan has taken pains to explain that, while he will not be a candidate for the presidency in 1904, he will use all his influence to prevent the nomina- ton by the democrats of anybody who was not loyal to both ticket and plat form in both 1896 and 1890. In other words, he will do his best to tie the party for the third time to the doc trines which have already defeated it In two national campaigns. This rem ders it essential that the progressive democrats everywhere shall continue to wage their fight against Organism whenever it becomes necessary to de- fine the attitude of the party, as was done in the convention of the Ninth Indiana district yesterday. The pro- gressives wished to ignore the past and conduct the present campaign on is sues looking toward the future. The mossbacks openly declared that they would not support the nominee unless a plank should be put in the platform expressing confidence in Bryan and in dorsing the Kansas City deliverance of 1900. The mossbacks won in this case, but in other districts in Indiana the progressives have carried the day. The only thing to do is to fight it out every time that the Bryanites raise the is sue, and trust to the good sense of the people for final victory.-New York Evening Post.

Tn. Gates Injunction.

Me fren', lawn w. Gates" to whom Mir F. P. Dunne sometimes refers in a facetious spirit, has gone east, ac- cording to telegraphic reports from Denver, presumably for the purpose of joining his lamentations with those Of the striking anthracite miners, who foresee in government by injunction the downfall of the republic. MT. Gates perhaps never before was in direct sympathy with the working element
 but now he knows how it feels to be brought up with a sudden jerk. He felt a slight twitch of an injunction at the time he was putting the finishing touches on his admirably constructed July corner. But that did not hurt him so that he was not prepared for the jolt he received in Denver this week.
 MT. Gates has formed the habit of acquiring what he goes after. He went after the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany of which he was a director He secured the control of majority of the stock and began to plan for the reor-

ODE TO FORTUNE.

Fair lady with the bandaged eye! I'll pardon all thy Scurvy tricks, So thou wilt cut me and deny Alike thy kisses and thy kicks; I'm quite contented as l am, Have cash to keep my duns at bay. Can choose between beeksteaks and
 ham,
 And drink Madeira every day. My station is the middle rank, My fortune-just a competence Ten thousand in the Franklin bank, And twenty in the six per cents; No amorous claims my heart enthrall, neither borrow, lend nor sell; Fearless I roam the city hall, And bite my thumb at Sheriff Bell. The horse that twice a week I ride, At Mother Dawson's eats his fill; My books at Goodrich's abide; My country seat is Weehawk Hill; My morning lounge is Eastbournes
 shop,
 At Poppletons l take my lunch; Niblo prepares my mutton chop, And Jennings makes my whisky
 punch. When merry, the hours amuse By squibbing Bucktails, Guards and
 Balls, And when I'm troubled with the blues Damn Clinton and abuse canals; Then, Fortune, since I ask no prize, At least preserve me from thy frown. The man who don't attempt to rise 'Twere cruelty to tumble down.
 -HALLECK AND DRAKE.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Wholesome Decision.

The New York Journal reports a case, recently settled in the courts of In- diana. in which the hard sense of the pellate jurisdiction are conspicuous. It should be widely published, for the reason that every community is more or less afflicted with the same class of nuisance that this decision is calcu- lated to repress, to-wit, a man who greets his friend with a resounding slap on the back, or a vise-like grip and an excruciating squeeze of the hand. Were it not for the reluctance that the average man feels to having any unpleasantness with even the most injudicious friend, blow or a kick would often be the response to this sort of salutation. As it is, the injured party usually smothers his indignation and tries to smile as the friendly brute passes along to bestow his sledge-ham- mer pats and bulldog grips on other unfortunates.
 It happened at Indianapolis that an aged man was thrown down and in- jured by a chance encounter with a friend who had long cultivated the habit of striking his intimate acquaint- ances. whirling them around. and giv- ing them such hot name as "old sar- dine The aged and injured citizen awarded a substantial sum. The de- fendant appealed. His counsel sub mitted that he had meant no harm;
