PARKER AND MUGWUMP HILL

1t is affording the mugwump press
some apparent glee to announce that
David B. Hill has ousted Mr. VIM. ]
Bryan as leader of the Democratic par.
ty, and will assume complete control
over party affairs at the next conven.
ton, in such unmistakable manner as
will demonstrate to the Bryan element
that they no longer cut the least par
ticle of ice. There are other news.
papers which are wolves in sleeps
clothing calling themselves 'Indepen-
dent, such for example as the Wash.
ington Post, which have lately devel
oped much interest in the Democratic
party. This is from no change OF
heart, but because those papers think
they have Democratic readers and
they imagine that they can polIute
their minds with their poisonous sen.
timents in the hope of winning them
away from the line of true Democracy
if not deliver them bag and baggage to
the Republican party. With their
old spades, which they have Worn to
frazzles burying VIM. J. Bryan, they
heap an additional clod on his many
last resting places, and proclaim to the
world that the doxology is being sung
by David Bennett Hill of Woolforts
Roost. They admit that the Rev.
Grover who has performed so MANY
funeral rites over Bryan, is superan-
nuated, and about at a point where
funeral rites will be said for the last
time over the political grave be has
digged for himself. If, therefore, it is
any qualification to these mugwumps
and independents" to grin and imag-
Inc they feel good over the situation.
they are welcome to the pleasure, but
one thing is certain, and that is. that
the Democratic candidate for president
had as well hang his harp on the will
low, as to expect to be elected if he
undertakes to cut up any antics with
those loyal Democrats who have twice
voted for the regular nominee of the
party. who was VIM. J. Bryan. They
and Mr.. Hill may have so little sense
as not to see it, but Judge Parker who
will probably be the next nominee
does see it, as the following statement
shows, and this statement reveals
sense:
Judge Parker's very strong opinions
ON the subject of VIM. J. Bryan do not
coincide with those of Hill. Parker
is not in favor of sound money fight
on Bryan in Nebraska and throughout
the South and West. 1t NAV he said
positively that Parker is at odds with
the organizers of this movement. He
does not believe in drastic policy of
dealing with the Nebraskan. He is nf
the opinion that Bryan should be treat
ed with great consideration.
II may be autho1itatively stated that
Judge Parker will not be the Demo-
cratic candidate for president unless
he is supported by Bryan. He will re-.
]ect nomination rendered to him nv
any faction. 1t may be added that
Parker does not expect the nOmina tion
to be rendered to him If the war against
Bryan is continued. He thinks that
Bryan will win in such a way by an
overwhelming majority and be nomi-
mated for the presidency himself, He
is quoted by friend as saying: "Bry
an is sure TO be nominated a third
time If the effort to drive him out of
The party is continued to the end.''

was acquitted of the charge, the jury

that be was at home before the shoot

behalf than any other.

TRUST CARTRIDGES.

The government has informed the
deliver ammunition for the use of the
militia which is made expressly for the
quelling of mobs. The cartridge has
not SO much powder as the one intend
ed for the shooting of Fiiipinos, and
two bullets instead of one are used.
The charge is sufficiently heavy to car
ry accurately two hundred yards, so
that the mob may be shot without hit
ting the bystanders or lockers on, in
fact should the mob be surrounding
the house of a trust magnate the mob
might be slain without the slightest
danger of injuring the plate windows
of the magnate. the veranda chairs,
the hammock or anything that is his,
and especially not endanger the lives
of any member of his family or any
guests who may perchance be dining
with them on that day. The ammu-
milton has been made under strict
Trust supervision, and like the ElkIns
bill and trust legislation enacted dur
ing the last Congress, is warranted not
to hurt the trusts Or any one connected
with them.
The glimpse trust magnates took at
the future evolved this very useful bit
of governmental ownership. They saw
trouble brewing. The coal strike was
an eye opener, and suggested some
more drastic remedies. and useful safe
guards. Where one ball had been used
on striking miners and mechanics,
hereafter two will be used. Uncle Sam
is made to furnish the missiles at pub
lie expense, SO that those for whom
they are intended are furnishing their
own gallows, as it were. This is all
very funny, it really grows grotesque
when We look at it in its various
phases. These people whom all this
pains and expenditure is taken to kill,
vote solidly for their would be slayers,
we suppose the reas son being that 81
bill on election day looks bigger than
two bullets which they are to get soon
after the election is over.
1t looks as if our Legislature intend
spending money with free hand.
