In the current number of his paper,
the Commoner, Mr.. Bryan gives what
he considers the reason for the re-
fusal of the Iowa Democratic conven-
ton to reaffirm the Kansas City plat
form. He says that he did not dis
cuss the action of the Iowa Democrats
sooner because he was not in possession
of sufficient information as to the cause
Of their refusal. The reactionary ele-
ment of the party, he asserts, was IN
control of the convention and the re-
fusal TO reaffirm the Kansas CITY
platform was due chiefly TO the in
huence exerted by representatives OF
corporations, but partly to neglect on
the part of the friends Of the platform.
In the course of his article Mr.. Bryan
says: THE corporation Democrats are
in politics as a matter of business:
they assume that their salaries cover
their political services and they can
attend conventions at little expense.
while the ordinary Democrat must Jay
his way. To this advantage the cor
poration Democrats add the advantage
which they derive from the fact that
they are INSCRIPTIONS in method.
They are not only willing TO betray
constituents, but they consider it smart
to deal unfairly with their party as
sociates."
This is hardly a fair criticism Of
those who controlled the recent Iowa
Democrats convention. 1t is doubtless
true that there were some stockholders
in and employees of corporations in the
convention, and if there were they TO
doubt We're against the Kansas City
platform, but were they not as honest
ly against it as others were for it?
1t is a rather sweeping assertion to say
that all of those who were against the
Kansas City platform were influenced
by improper motives, were not, in
other words, honest. Mr.. Bryan OF
course feels strongly on this subject,
but if he will look at the situation
calmly and without prejudice, he will
see that the sentiment is becoming
quite general in the Democratic party
that it would be mistake to reaf-
firm the Kansas City platform in the
next national convention. The silver
issue is practically dead-at least for
the present-and if it were not for Mr..
Bryan and a few of his admirers moth
ing would be heard of IL. Mr.. Bryan is
certainly not increasing his influence
with his party nor is he assisting in
bringing the two wings of the party to-
gether by such articles as that from
which we have quoted.

A MOVE AGAINST VAGRANTs.

There is no doubt there is needed
legislation along the line proposed by
Mr., Calvin of Richmond in his bill to
amend the law respecting Migrants. The
bill may not excite much sympathy in
the rural districts where there are but
few Migrants, but it will have the
hearty approval of the towns and cities
where there are very many who, as far
as the public can see, have no legiti-
mate business or employment and no
income from property or investments,
but who manage, in some way, to live
off the community. Mr.. Calvin's bill
is intended to make it more difficult
for such persons to pick up a living
in the ways they do In other words it
defines more clearly than the present
law those who are Migrants and points
out the course that shall be pursued
to bring them before the committing
magistrates and to secure their pun
ishment.
The towns are troubled with idle
negroes who drift into them from all
parts of the state and form other
states. These idlers have never
worked steadily anywhere, and have
no intention of working at all if they
can avoid doing so. They prey upon
the thrifty negroes and doubtless most
of them resort to crime from time to
time to satisfy their needs for food
and clothing.
Mr.. Calvin's bin is not aimed at
thriftless negroes particularly. 1t is
aimed at everybody who is properly
vagrant. and it's purpose is to rid the
state of them. There can be no posi-
BILE objection TO it, and if il should be-
come law the people would have it
in their power to get rid of burdens in
great many communities.

TnnIS Needed Rest.

"Yoakum of Frisco" as he is known
in the railroad world, is one of the
workers. They say he never tires, says
the New York Times. One day a
friend called at the Broad street office
to see him. 1t was p. m. He found
the president leaning back in a big
chair, reading a newspaper, and smok-
ing. In surprise he asked what was
up.
You see, I've worked pretty hard
for the past ten years" said Mr.. Yoak-
um, land 1 think 1 need a long rest"
The next day the same friend
dropped in again. Mr.. Yoakum shook
hands in his hearty way, but said:
Glad to see you, but I'm up to my
eyes in work. 1 haven't much time. "
Il thought you were going to take
a long rest" exclaimed his friend.
That's all right. l took it yester-
day." said the president.

S0ueIched.

when I was a boy" remarked T.
Z. Ryan of Waukesha, according to the
Milwaukee Sentinel. as he sat in the
Hotel Pfister and caught sight of some
old patriarchs who sent him into the
retrospective mood. II went into the
circuit court room in Madison, where
George B. Smith and 1. S. Sloan. two
of the greatest lawyers of their day,
were trying a case as opponents. Mr..
Sloan had habit of puncturing his adj
dress to the court with the expression,
Your honor, have an idea The case
had been dragging its weary length
through the hours of a warm summer
day, when Mr.. Sloan, who was making
what appeared to be an interminable
argument, said:

"Mr. Smith sprang to his feet. as
sumed dignified position, and with all
the solemnity imaginable, said:
May it please the court, L move
that a writ of habeas corpus be issued
by this court Immediately to take the
learned gentleman's idea out of soil

THE judge smiled, the lawyers laugh
ed, the spectators burst forth in a
round of applause, and Mr.. Sloan was
effectively squelched."

STUDENTS GO TO KANSAS FARMS.

Yesterday forty students connected
with Princeton, Harvard and Cornell
Universities started to Kansas to as
sist in harvesting the great wheat crop
of that state. For them there will be
no moonlight walks at the seaside, 10
flirting and dancing at the mountain
resorts. They have laid aside their
dancing pumps, tuxedos and dress
shirts for heavy shoes, coarse shirts
and overalls. In a costume of this sort
they may make love to Kansas maidens
after the days work is done and on
Sundays, provided they feel an inclina-
ton that way, but it is probable that
they will want all of their spare time
for sleep.
The Kansas farmers are offering $3.50
day and board for hands to assist in
gathering the great wheat crop with
which the state is blessed and these
students have decided they would ra III
er spend their vacation in the harvest
field than in idling away the time at
summer resorts. Doubtless most of
them need the money. They are assured
of 100 days work, that is, the farmers
say they will need assistance for that
length Of tins from July l. AS to
whether rainy days will be counted to
their credit or not is question with
which the dispatches do not deal. The
chances are that. they will get nothing
for rainy days. They will have such
days for rest.
The cost of transportation from New
York city and return is $2665. That
means to Topeka and return. 1t will
probably cost few dollars more to get
to the wheat fields, especially those
fields which are situated in parts of
the state distant from the capital.
When all expenses are paid-the cost
of the outfit in the way of rough cloth
irg. transportation and the incidentals
lit is doubtful il the students will
have much to show for their summer
work, except good health. Work in the
harvest fields will no doubt be n good
| thing for them and fit them for class
room duties during the next university
year. But will their experiences be such
that they will want to try the harvest
fields reXt summer? They will be pre-
pared to answer that question about

Not to His Credit.

"Grampa, did you ever chute the
chutes when you was a young man? p
mo, Artie. but I shot at the shoot
ers-hundreds of times"
Artie reflected a moment, says the
Kansas City Journal. 20, yes; that
was when you was a soldier IN the
war. How many did you Kill, gram
PAP"
None that / know Of: but shot at
them in many battles"
Artie's eyes dilated with amazement,
and then he replied in a tone which
plainly showed disgust: well, gram
pa, I'd be ashamed to draw pension
for such shootin' as that!'

THE NAV AT THE Tor.

A great capitalist is quoted by the
Wall Street Journal as saying: I'm
yestors pin their faith to the man at
the top. They may be said to invest in
Characteristic character of the men in
control. Books may be manipulated
and reports and statements cooked
so as to tell this or that story, but
character, in the long run. cannot be
made TO appear different than ii real
ly is. and the standing of a business is
largely dependent on the character Of
the men who direct it." Much has
been said lately of the tendency to-
wards wiping out individuality
through the growth of corporations.
The corporation is usually regarded as
an impersonal institution, a collective
enterprise governed by rules. And
yet the fact remains, as the capitalist
men at the head of the concern deter
mines the characters of the corpora
ton.
No better evidence of the truth of
this assertion is needed than the quo
tations OF the stock markets. If a
man or men of known high character
and integrity are at the head of a
concern whose securities are offered to
investors, those securities almost in
yariably command a good price. Peo-
pie having money to invest have con-
fidence in the concern, because they
have confidence in the men at the head
of it. But no matter how large a
business an enterprise may be doing,
or how attractive it's statements may
be made, If the men at the head of the
concern have not the reputation of
high character-if they are known as
gamblers, wild SPECTATORS or follow
ers of sharp practice-the prices of the
securities reflect the lack of confidence
on the part of the public.
Character continues to have a real
market value, despite the encroach-
ments of trusts upon Independent en-
terprises. Character is an asset, in
the long run more valuable than cap
ital. Capital without character may
apparently succeed temporarily, but
capital with character will inevitably
command success by deserving it.
When one is asked to invest in an en-
who is at the head of it?" Upon the
reply to that question depends wheth-
er or not the investment will be made

wrath because he was generally en-
gagged in reading French novels when
Mr. Hill happened around the Great
Northern Railway office, says the New

the magnate.
"Wen, you pay me for keeping the

answered Mr.. Clough. But notwith-

Mr.. Hill promptly saw the point,

French novel on Mr.. Clough's desk.

Baltimore lawyers and medical men
are interested in a peculiar psycholog-
ical case. The other night policeman
was startled by a man running up to
him in the street and telling him that
he wanted to surrender himself: that
he had shot his wife in his sleep; that
he dreamed a burglar was in the
house and had attacked him. and that
he shot, as he believed, in self-defense;
that the noise of his shots awakened
him, and he was Mortified to find that
he had shot his wife several times and
she was dead. All available evidence
went to show that the man was very
fond of his wife: that they had not
quarreled on the night of her death,
and that the story of the man was
probably true. AS a consequence Of
the unusual tragedy, much expert opin-
ion is being expressed by scientists
with respect to dreams and their in
fiuence upon the dreamer.

New York. Aug. 19.-Dan Patch
broke the worlds record to-day lor
nacers. by pacing a mile in 1853 at
brighton Beach, beating the
record of 1:5sA. held by Star Pointer.
It was a most magnificent perform
ance. There was a stiff breeze dow
ing. which struck the horses fairly in
the face. The track was little SLOW
but the effect of the wind was discount
ed by sending a runner in front, while
the second runner galloped alongside.
With a swift frictionless stride Dan
Patch shot from the wire and seemed
to be determined to push his nose into
the flying su1ky in front of him. On
swept the famous PAGER to the quarter
in 29A, and when the half mile pole
was flashed past in 5SA, great vol
un1e of cheers went up from the vast
crowd. Then came the difficult top
turn and the slowest quarter of a mile
ensued, the three quarters being done
in 1:29A.
Down the stretch as swift and steady
as a locomotive. he came, and as he
shot under the wire, watches stopped
at 1853. Summaries:
2:O7 Pace-Purse 81, ZOO, mile and one
half dash. Socanda won, Winfield
Stratton, second and Onoto third. Best
time 3:15A.
