A negro who attempted to assault young

the negro perpetrated was heinous and the

so than many another case In this county

CONCERNING BUNco sTEERERs.
How Bryan's Characterization ri
Cleveland Fits Himself.
Chicago Chronicle.

CnlcaSO CnrOnlcle
Mr.. Bryan, the Nebraska Populist and
attorney for the silver trust, made speech
at Urbana, O., on Wednesday, in the course
of which he characterized Grover Cleveland,
twice President of the United States, as
'bunko steerer."
A bunko steerer is said to be a person
who persuades innocent or avaricious in
dividuals to take part in a gambling or
swindling game in which they are sure to
lose money.
Mr.. Cleveland is identified i'm American
political history with several important
issues, among them the following: Taxa
ton for public purposes only, enforcement
of the laws against mobs. the maintenance
of public and private credit, economy in
public expenditure, no imperialistic expan-
sion beyond the sea, and the vigorous as
sertlon of the Monroe doctrine.
When Mr.. Bryan began the accumulation
of his present fortune a few years ago he
became the attorney of the silver mine
owners, who had plan for doubling the
value of their product. More than any
other man in America Grover Cleveland is
to be credited with the defeat OF this
swindling proposition.
The project of the silver mine owners
which Mr.. Bryan has supported on what
seems to have been liberal compensation
was practically the first development or
the trust idea. It's purpose was TO create
d nOnOpoly anu 10 enhance pr1ces- As 10
some other trusts, it is asserted that they
have lowered prices. but there was no such
purpose behind the trust which had Mr.
Bryan's valuable services for ten years.
Its one aim was to make As cents worth
of silver bullion do duty as a dollar In
money.
To bring about this end, which would
have cut every mans wages i'm two. and
which would have enabled public and pri-
yate debtors TO repudiate more than one
half of their obligations, the chief attorney
for the silver trust had to be something
more than mere lawyer. He had 10 be
a politician and a demagogue. IL not a
scoundrel we'll. IL he could identify his
swinding game with great political par
~. so much the better for the trust-and
for him,
Mr.. Bryan filled the bill admirably. BY
trickery and treachery the attorney of the
silver trust became the Democratic nomi-
nee for the presidency. and his fortune was
made He failed to deliver the goods" as
they say In Misunderstanding circles. but IL
ever cheap lawyer served monopoly
| faithfully Mr.. Bryan has earned all that
| he has received as the spokesman for the
meanest and rottenest OF all the trusts.

The resolutions passed by the Negro Bap-
night. resretting the lawlessness of the
lower class Of negroes that come to this

the law-abiding attitude of the ministers.

the encouragement of these anxious re-
ligious leaders. that the extent of the bad
negro element I'm this city Is undoubtedly
greatly exaggerated. Moreover. not all

lance are necessarily vicious: some of them

Idleness. with negroes as with white men,
is a dangerous condition, and TO provide
