Bryan and Cleveland

An Independent subscriber in OKLA
/ hOma, who is also a subscriber OF the
Springfield Republican, sends the fol-
/ lowing clipping from that paper anI
| his reply:
Cleveland had the best Opportunit"
! to redeem the democratic party ever
offered to any man since the time Oi
Andrew jackson, but, instead Of be
! ing true to his party he disgracel
| himseIf.-WiIliam J. Bryan.
Thus does Mr.. Bryan indulge in
talk that is unlovely, most UnjudiriAl
and UnWiSe, because calculated TO turn
the great average good sense of tn
country against him. The root of Mr.
I ClcvelauiS S offending lay in forcirE
| the repeal Of the Sherman silver pur-
chasing act. In that service he stood
. SQuareIy upon the democratic ma
! tiOnal platform Of 1892, which de-
: ClarCd: I'VE denuunce the republic
can legislation known as the Sher-
! man act Of 1890 as a cOWardly make
shift, fraught with possibilities Of
! udll%tl III JIlt llIllii =, w iliN II DIIChlN
! make all Of its Supporters, as well "a
its author, anxious for its speedy re
peal" Mr.. Clcveland's p2rsOn2i
/ views were perfectly well known, an
he stood by them as he had the habit
of doing 1t was indeed this knOWl
edge of his character that elected him.
"With a courage that few men in
his situation would have displayed.
and a patriotism that will be hOnOre:
in all coming time says the WASH
ington Post 0f Mr. Cleveland, he te
sisted a pressure that would have
swept from his base any president
who was not ready to sacrifice Him
self in obedience to his convictions.
When not only a great majority O!
his own political brethren, but many
of the most prominent republicans,
wavered in their fidelity to sound
money, he stood firm, immoval as the
rock 0f Chickamauga' We are al
ready to accept the fact that Mr.. Bry-
an does not like the democratic eN-
president, and totally disagrees with
him on the money question. 1t IS
also evident that current republican
appreciation of Mr.. Cleveland mad
dens the Bryan wing of the party, and
so makes the sage of Princeton OF
little avail as a party harmonizer
But the venom of Mr.. Bryan's denun-
GatiOn is as unWise as any part OF
the business.

The New York stock Market.

New York, Aug. 5.-Stocks received
bad smash at the opening ofthemarket
today under heavy liquidation and bear
drives and in the first five minutes OF
trading semi-panicky conditions took
possession Of the floor. Many new low
records were made. The declines were
a continuation of those which started in
Yesterdays market. Ali stocks suffered
alike. When the situation seemed most
alarming big interests stepped into the
market with big supporting orders and
the slump was stayed and in many in
stances values recovered all or part OF
their losses. A period Of irregularity
then followed with trading feyerish and
highly excited. When the market
opened heavy blocks of Union Pacific
we're dumped on the market and the
price crumbled to Tot, new low re-
cord price. Southern Pacific registered
a new low record price of40a. Southern
Railway was also under pressure ano
slumped to 1871. Baltimore and Ohio
was assiduously sold and new recOrf
of 79l was made in that security. Inc
support Of big interests finally rallied
the market at TIC end of the first hour
the covering of many large short con
tracts materially aiding in the rise.

SAM JONES ON LYNCHING.

Rev. Sam Jones, the Georgia orator,
who was one of the speakers at the
Bloomington Chautauqua, at Blooming
ton, ILL.,, was asked while there what, in
his opinion, was responsible for the race
wars in the North, particularly the
Danville and Evansville riots. He said
in response 81 have lived among
negroes all my life and know them pretty
well and in my mind there is not much
in this excitement about them. Now
this lynching business is not anarchy.
If a mad dog or wild beast runs
through the streets and bites some one,
the thing to do is to kill it, and kill it
before it does any more harm. There is
not much difference between a wild beast
and negro who will attack women.
Why, in the South, the respectable
blacks help the whites lynch the brutes.
OF the IL, 900, 600 negroes in the South
the great mass are peaceable, law abid-
ing citizens. Education is doing a great
deal for the blacks. The only education
that think is useful to them is manual
training. Booker T. Washington is
doing the most for them. He is digni-
flying labor and teaching them to work"

Ceremonies at the Vatican.

Rome, Aug. 5.-Cardinal Sarto has
been proclaimed Pope, and today the
Vatican and Rome have almost resumed
their normal aspect. Atten o'clock this
morning Plus x. officiated at grand to
deum which was held in the Sistine
Chapel. Nearly all of the cardinals now
in Rome were present and rendered their
third alteration to the new head Of the
Roman Catholic Church. The music
was of a high order. The announcement
was made that Plus X. has appointed
DR.. Lapponi to the position of physician
to the Vatican. DR.. Lapponi held the
Office for several years during the reign
of pope Leo XIII. The election OF Car
dinal Sarto to the Office Of Pope Is a VIC
tory for the triple alliance against french
influence.
Rome, Aug. 5.-The coronation {. o.
Pope Plus X. will take place in 81
Peters on Sunday next, according to Inc
decision of the cardinals today. The
Pope cannot sign bulls until he has been
crowned; hence an early date was de
cided upon.

In the case Of Curtis Jet and Thomas
White, on trial at Cynthiana, KY, for
the assassination of J. B. Marcum, DR..
J. NJ. Kash, of Jackson, testified to at
tending the dying Marcum as he lay in
front of the courthouse. He said that a
few minutes before the killing Of Mar
cum he saw Curtis Jet in front Of
Hargis Bros store, Immediately across
the street from the courthouse talking
to Ashbury Spier and Elisha Noble.
This contradicted the testimony of at
least Is Witnesses, who testified for the
prosecution to seeing Jett go into the
side door of the courthouse Immediately
before the shooting On cross-exami-
nation he did not remember seeing any,
one else about the courthouseat the time
of the killing.
John Smith and John Abner testified at
length, contradicting Mrs. Mary john
son and Edward Marcum, who said they
had seen Smith and Abner year before
the killing of Marcum in a stone quarry
near Marcum's house armed and with
other armed men.
Lewis Hayes, the Jackson boarding
house keeper, testified that Abner,
Smith and Thomas White boarded with
him during the term of court in June,
1902. but he did not remember whether
they we're up as early in the morning as
Tho hour ixed bv the prosecution when
armed men around Marcum's house pre-
vented Marcum from coming out to take
a train.
Dodge Banks and Clarence MADDEN
were called to corroborate Jets state
ment as to his location when Marcum
was shot The rigid cross-examinatlon
of Banks was feature of the morning
session. DR.. Ofut and w. H. Blankton

SECRETARY Roof and the other en-

ment could not allow him to retire with
out sticking another thorn in his side by
advancing Col. c. A. Woodruff to be
brigadier general. Col. Woodruff was
chief commissary in the Philippines, the
originator of the system under which
tons of rice, much of it second-class, was
bought with army funds and sold at a
profit to Filipino reconcentrados. The
rice transaction was severely arrMgned
by Gen. Miles in hisreport on the Philip
pines. 1t had been expected that IN re-
membrane of the war in Cubathe Presl-
dent would balk at promoting Col. Wood
ruff, but he swallowed his resentment IN
order to give Gen. Miles parting slap.
At the time of the war with Spain Col.
Woodruffbought nearly ], 900, OO0pounds

which had been shipped back from
Europe, and which Col. Roosevelt at the

BECAUSE OF the fatalities of the
Fourth of July and the opposition
developing against the reckless use Of
blank cartridges, bombs, pistols ard
other noise makers, Corporation At
torney Michael, of St. Paul, Mimi, has
drafted an ordinance, which, it is said,
the City Council will adopt, declaring
that all such forms of Fourth OF
July amusements are prohibited.
The ordinance will not only prohibit the
use of these explosives on July 4, but
dealers will be barred from carry them
in stock for month prior to the Fourth.
Violations of the ordinance are made
punishable by heavy fines. Business
men, doctors, city officers and others OF IN
fuene Dire said to be back Of the measure.
Such laws as those about TO be enacted in
St. Paul exist in many Others places in
the United States. The laws of Virginia
and of the city of Alexandria are almost
rs stringent, but they seem to be more
honored in their breach than in their OBJ
seryance.

Airship Party Evlcted.

Whitewater, Va, July 5.-Charles NJ.
Manley, Prof. Langley's chief assistant
in charge of the airship party, admitted
this morning that he had been informed
of Truxton Beale's intention to evict at
least a part of their party from the club
house of the Mt. Vernon Ducking Asso-
citation, in order that actual members
might enjoy the seclusiOn for which the
club was organized. Manley refused to
answer any questions as to when he ex-
pected the first test of the "Buzzard' to
be made. The flying machine experts
are much concerned over Mr. Beale's
protest. The newspaper correspondents,
who had been barred from the club under
orders from Prof Langley, are now its
guests, under orders from MIR. Beale.

Irnched by Masked Men.

Asotin, Wash, Aug. ga band OF
masked men reinforced by mob Of
1000 people, lynched VIM. Hamilton,
well-to-do white farmer, at an early hour
this morning. Hamilton last Sunday
assaulted and then murdered l3-year-old
Mable Richards, daughter of the Sheriff
OF Asotinee county. Sheriff Richards, with
rs deputies, tried to stay the hands OF
the mob, but he and his men were swept
aside, the keys taken from the jailer and
the prison entered. The door of Hamll-
toms cell was beaten down and the
wretched man dragged out and hurried
to Fillmore street. There Hamil-
ton was given chance to confess his
crime publicly and he did 80. He made
a few personal requests, which the lynch
ers promised would be fulfilled and then
a black mask was placed over his face.
A rope was quickly produced, swung
over the guy-wire that connects the
electric light pole and in few minutes
Hamilton was dangling in the air. The
body remained suspended for some time.
