NOT READY TO TRUST DEMOCRATS.
Aversion is TO the Party a.

ASPuA"E Aversion ~ TO the Party a.
Well as to It's Leaders.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Mr.. Bryan continues to make speeches and
give out interviews and cause dissensions
In tho ranks of the democratic party. When
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hill got themselves
together and spoke at the same banquet they
were trying to pull the party together again.
But Mr.. Bryan utterly refuses to have any,
thing TO do with them or their plans.
Il object to advice from such men as
Cleveland he says, who never indicated
his purpose to vote for the democratic
ticket in the last two campaigns. Hill 10 a
candidate, but he cannot be trusted"
And so 1t goes. It apparently does not
occur to Mr.. Bryan that twice the people
have been unable to trust him. Indeed. the
last time when a democrat was trusted with
the presidency the country was plunged into
a panic and the free soup house took the
place Of the open mill. And yet Il Is Mr..
Cleveland's idea that tariff reform must be
the great issue in the next campaign and he
seeks TO procure, harmonious action Smoss
the democrats to take It up.
There are no Indications that the people
are any more willing to accept the party
now tasn they were when they defeated
Bryan. The country is doing fairly we'll
under republican rule. We quite agree with
Bryan that Hill canno be trusted, but then,
what democrat can be7

Of a financial, Industrial, political and
journalistic character. The disturbances
at times were severe enough to be felt
on Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, and
Wall street, New York.
The golden spike was driven in the
last rail Of the highway which was to
reach from Omaha TO the Colder Orient,
and the gateway stood siar and in readi-
ness to receive the treasures which were
expected to flow through II, but they did
not ow-no until most Of those who
had bought Omaha real estate at boom
prices had passed to a better and a hap
pier world.
1t cannot be said that Nebraska has
suffered any permanent loss from such
shocks. AS a territory and as q state,
It had to shake now and then so as to
settle down to a safe level. Last Mon
days tremor was nothing, in fact, to that
which passed over the populistic belt be-
tween 1892 and 1896. for 1t wrecked no
enterprises, 1t paralyzed no industries, It
blighted no crops, It foreclosed. no mort
In short, It impoverished nobody.
1t was not a circumstance to the dis
turbance that threw up William Jennings
Bryan. and It is not to be mentioned in
the same breath with the one that shook
him on the earth again.

We have heard a great deal recently
from the railroad tax bureau about COM
parative railroad taxation in Pennsyl-
vania and Nebraska. but the bureaucrats
have forgotten to mention that the Tax
Reform league Of Pennsylvania is call
ing attention to the fact that the farm
ers and home owners Of Pennsylvania
are paying $3.50 in taxes for each thou
sand In value while the steam railways
pay but $2.75, the street railways but
S4.7b and the telegraph and telephone
companies but $500. These figures
would indicate that there is need of su-
preme court intervention against lop-
sided taxation in Pennsylvania as well
as in Nebraska

Jim Hill has made arrangements to

convince the farmers that in being al

EXECUTIVE
Fraiseworthy Examples of Denied Ap-
peais to n Much-Used PreFoEativs.
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
Inc refusal or Governor Longtime Of
Mississippi to commute the sentences OF
two men convicted Of murder and sem
fenced to hang is q conspicuous instance
OF executive fidelity to the interests Of
society In his state. For one Of the men
most strenuous appeals were made for
clemency because he belonged to a family
OF great repute and high social prestige.
But the courts had decreed hat his life
was forfeit to the state for the brutal
murder Of an humble man, and without a
shadow OF provocation. The governor re-
fused to interfere and the men were hung
publicly and successfully, in spite Of the
threats OF his friends to shoot him dead
on the gallows rather than have him
suner the ignominy Of the hangman's ropei
Governor Davis Of Arkansas has SINH
larry refused equally strong petitions An
recent cases and Monday six murderers
In that state went to deserved and ig-
nominous deaths through the trap doors
OF public gibbets. Governor Chandler OF
this state has been equally mindful that
society, the law. the states peace have
claims in such cases and has stood for
the vindication Of the law and the courts
by refusing clemency to murderers on
sentimental pleas.
These instances are worthy Of the full
est praise. The courts Of the country are
too often blamed with responsibility for
the public disposition to mistrust them
and forestall them by resorts to lynch
law. There may be occasional miscar-
riases Of justice In the courts. but In the
main the verdicts OF Juries are deliberate,
conservative and fairly righteous. Indeed,
where they convict men in the face OF the
most able and brilliant defenses that can
be made for them and the verdicts are
affirmed by the highest tribunal OF the
state, a governor must be very sure OF
himself to interfere with the judgments so
reached.
The south is rapidly growing adverse
TO the ~hip-pocket bully, the high-toned
murderer. the man who thinks his blue
blood ought to be q carte blanche with
Justice, and more resolute in demanding
that the rights OF the law-abidlng shall
not be sacrificed through mock mercy to
such creatures. These governors have
done well and their example will strengthen
nightly the cause OF justice throughout
the country.

R. O. NEAL BUYS MILLS.
Idle Iron Plant at HoIlidaqsburg to be
Operated by Harrisburg Capitalist.

A dispatch from Hollidaysburg wa:
received in this city late last nigh,
says Fridays Harrisburg Patriot
stating that Robert c. Neal, of tina,
city, has purchased the Holidays
burg and Gap iron works. The dis
patch stated that the plant has. been
idle for some time past but that the
new owner will have it fitted up i'm
mediately and will resume operations,
giving employment to 800 men.
The word was received too late to
have it verified by Mr.. Neal, who is
the owner OF the Harrisburg rolling
mills, in the lower end of the city.
Mr. Neal is most prominently identi-
fed with the iron business and his
local plant has been growing in i'm
portance and in output during the
last couple of years.
The Hoilidaysburg mills are old
ones and have been among the few
plants of the state that have not been
In operation for the past winter. The
location is considered a good one,
however, and it is believed that under
Mr.. Meals direction the mills will
soon be of Importance.
