Bryan'S Crown OF Th0rnS De-
SCribed.


Gov. Patdee, OF California, in In
Producing Secretary OF the Treasury
Leslie NJ. Shaw to a San Francisco
audience recently made these allu-
sions to the Democrats and their
change Of base;
And think of Bryan, the apostle OF
free silver, the man who four years
ago denounced SIS "minions OF Wall
street" every one who was not for
free silver; thir k of Bryan supporting
| for President nominee who says
that there is no cross of gold and no
crown OF thornsl Without that cross
and that crown there would have
been 90 Bryan. And now, "'nost un-
kiudest cut OF ALL" Judge Parker
says that he aud Bryan and all the
rest of the Democratic party were
chasing shadows in 1896 and 1900
when they all were denouncing gold.
The swallowing of Jonah by the
whsle has always been considered
miracle. But this gastronomic feat
was nowhere near SO miraculous as
that which the Democratic nominee
Tor President made his party devour
when 1t swallowed its platforms Of
1896 and 1890. and forced Bryan to
lunch on the cross of gold AMI crown
OF thorns. II that meal does not
give the honest conscientious rank
and file of the Democratic party an
acute attack OF political Indigestion
they can safely b. trusted to partake
of any sort OF a political dish OF
crow.
-Four and eight years ago our oppo-
nents could talk of nothing but free
silver, and they prophesied all man
uer OF evils If gold were made the
standard. This year you can't get
them to saw a word about silver But
they are trying to make al Issue out
OF Roosevelt.
l, for one, am glad they are. They
say that he is impetuous. Maybe he
is. But where has his impetuosity
gone wrong2 We wanted the Post
Office thieves prosecuted Roosevelt
was impetuous enough to send a
half dozen of them to All. We want
ed the railroad mergers broken up.
Roosevelt's impetuosity did 1t. We
wanted the coal strike settled, Roose-
velt's impetuosity settled 1t. We
wanted the isthmus canal. Had 1t
not been for Roosevelt's impetuosity
1t would still be in the dim and misty
future. like that kind OF impetuos-
ity. 1t Is the kind of impetuosity
that does things. 1t is the kind of
impetuosity that sounds good to
Americans and gives them a feeling
that we have as President a man who
can be depended upon to do whatever
Is necessary to be done.
Lincoln once said to someone who
complained to him that Grant was
drinking whisky: "You don't know
what kind he drinks, do your I'd
send hogshead of 1t to each of our
Generals If thought 1t would make
them as good Generals as he Is. ="
And, as for me, would like to give
all our public men a dose OF Roose-
velt's impetuosity If 1t would make
them do the things he has done.

praising her Intellect.

repaired to the young woman's house

"ior most OF the men know are pin
heads, who cannot see farther than

Instead Of being discouraged BY
failure OF the other three suitors, the
fourth sutton began congratu'ating
himself upon his own sagacity and
discounting his own luck. ~

ers. swelling out his chest until his
shirt buttons cracked, do you know
that the way to max. yourself solid
with a woman is to call her an angel!

gan burning incense before her and
when he perceived that he had at
trscted her attention he began his
song and dance.

1t Glanced that there was still a
fifth suitor, who was really In love

patriotism and of unseIfish devotion to
principle 1t has often. been aptly de-

Out Of the ultimate West came Fre-
mont to lead the forces OF freedom.
Pathfinder was he, seeking untrodden
ways In politics. as in the exploration
OF mountain and desert. With the light
of freedom in his loyal eyes and the
bronze of Western suns on the face
that never feared foe or shirked a
contest, he led the Republican party
In battle which, though lost, YET
proved the Bunker Hill of a new revo-
luton. The contest OF 1856 was the mid

for its setting rays glowed with the
prestige Of a victory that was to bring
the illumination of freedom to a na.
