prosecution and persecution are
widely different, and it is better that
the former fail than that the latter be

1T amuses me does this lecturing Of
the country press by the city papers
as to our duties; how we are not to tie
ourselves up in submission to the ex.
pressed will OF the party, but to assume
an ~''independent" attitude-to submit
to nothing but the dictates OF con-
science, pure and simple. A short
time ago the Democratic editors met
In convention at Kansas City to dis
cuss matters OF interest TO the party.
During the proceedings some pure
souled individual introduced a reso.
luton to the effect that it was not ex-
pedient or right to support a nominee
convicted Of sheep-stealing or other
crime obnoxious to latter-day solar
virtue. On the ground that 1t was

THE Chicago Public, with a resume
Of the facts, controverts the pluto
cratic lie that Organism has ruined
the Democratic party" The article
Is too long to quote in full, but | can
reproduce enough to set at rest the
contention OF the reorganizers. Re-
plying to the Boston Herald which
said that Mr.. Bryan had practically
ruined and wrecked the Democratic
party" the Iablic says: ''Any one
who can gain access to any political
almanac can convince himself OF the
mendacity of that statement. The
fact is that Cleveland himself ''prac-
tically ruined and nearly wrecked
the Democratic party; and that Bryan
has made it again a fighting power
strong enough to tempt Mr.. Cleveland
now TO accept a nomination from it
which he dared not consider when he
abandoned the wreck he had made.
Listen. Cleveland had been elected
President in 1892 with a Democratic
Congress at his back. In the lower
House there were PIG Democrats, max
ing a clear majority of Il. Two years
later, long before the advent of Bryan
ism, this Democratic majority was
swept away. Only 90 Democrats were
elected, and the Republicans con-
trolled the new House by q clear ma
jority Of "A. At those Congressional
elections not one Northern State, not
a solitary one, elected a majority Of
Democrats in its delegation to Con-
gress; although the delegations of
Indiana, New Jersey, New York,
Wyoming and Wisconsin had won
majorities in 1892. The
Senate, too, was changed from Demo-
cratic to Republican. In the Congress
which followed the elections OF 1894
there were only 80 Democratic SEN
ators to AZ Republicans; whereas in
the Congress following the elections of
1892 there had been Al Democratic
Senator'S to only SO Republicans.

Emma Gushing Tells tho Court
She Is a KIsptomaniac Sent

Emma Cushing is a puzzler for the
police. She is a kleptomaniac.
This old woman resides In Pawtucket
and Is a professional nurse.
She has been arrested time and again
for shop-lif.ing. the last apprehension
prior to that made yesterday afternoon
was at Christmas, 1902.
on that occasion she was given the limit
fine Of $40 and costs. and Judge Sweet
land in imposing sentence, told her that
the next offence would be visited by much
more severe punishment.
Emma promised TO do better and after
settling with the warrant officer from a
weil-hlled purse. was allowed 10 de-
part.
She kept we'll out OF sight until yester-
day, when she drifted into town and
entered a Westminster street store.

At the Central Police station she told
Captain Lawrence that she could not help
stealing and that her passion in that di-

When arraigned before Judge Sweet
land today she pleaded guilty and de-
clared. as she had done last Christmas
that she could not stop stealing.
Under different circumstances Jail

The court recalling the former pleas and
acknowledgements OF this old woman
considered that she was impellel 10 steal
from impulses that were probably ungov-
ernable and decided TO try a new plan.
He placed her in the custody OF Miss
Denehy until Dec 4th and directed that
she be sent to the Sophia Little Home un-

bation.
The old woman bewailed this practical
incarceration and pleaded for a different
sentence. She would gladly pay anything
