It seems to be the general opinion

a new law passed, a new election VIII

Mr.. Walsh's U1tinatum.

Omaha Bee.-Democrati National
Committeeman Walsh of Iowa
resurrects the silver question in
the democratic party by making the
emphatic statement to Chairman Tag
CART that Parker cannot be elected
without the free silver vote of the
west. This must be a rude shock to
those democrats who had lulled them
selves into belief that the matter
was buried fathoms deep.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
Safe and Sane" considered as q
euphonious and expressive phrase,
must be considered as one Of MIR.
Cleveland's masterpieces. Perhaps he
did not invent it, but he at least sug-
gested and inspired 1t, and it has won
Its way by sheer merit into the vo-
cabulary of current discussion.
OF course 1t Is desirable that all
persons, whatever their walk In life,
be safe and sane" The phrase is
complimentary. The person to whom
It is applied should feel grained. Ev-
erybody should strive to deserve it.
But 1t SO happens that the pair of adj
jectives. joined BY a conjunction is a
victim of the power of association and
fomenter of trouble. A safe and
sane" democrat, in Mr.. Elevelands
view. is almost anything but a Bryan
democrat. A safe and sane" policy is
a policy that antagonlzes most of the
propositions that the democracy was
committed to under Mr., Bryan's lead
ership. Hence when Mr.. Bryan's fol-
lowers hear the words safe and sane
they construe them with an insult and
nearly explode with rage. AS an ex-
ample of this feelir- the following re-
marks by Mr.. Walsh. the Iowa mem
Der OF the democratic national COM
mittee are graphic and interesting:
Some democrats of the east are
making 1T as hard as possible for us
to support the ticket. They are call
Ing. us crazy Bryatiites and abusing us
daily 1t would pay Judge Parker to
call off these fool friends. There is
no possible chance of his election with
out the votes OF Bryan,s friends, and
Bryan has thousands of friends In the
east as well as In the west. Parker
would come out better on election day
II he offended these fool newspapers
and lost their support"
From which 1t appears that the dem
ocratic managers have a delicate job
on their hands. 1t is absolutely me-
cessary for them to work the "safe
and sane" racket In the east. It will
be fuinous to work 1t in the west. To
adopt two sets of tactics, one for each
section, will be risky because of the
prevalence Of telegraph wires. Thus
the problem has its difficulties. AL
most any course is unsafe and calcu-
lated to drive its promoters insane.
On the whole, the democracy has no
reason to feel specially thankful for
the phrase safe and sane"

tary of the democratic national COM

DAVIES VS. DAVIES.
Plaintiff in Bloomfield Makes Startling
Disclosures in Divorce Petition.

Bloomfield, Aug. 20-On Thursday
the county clerk, ]. G. Leach, finished
filing all suits to be tried in the term Of
court opening August 20. A few suits
for divorce appear on the list, and
among these is the suit OF Mrs. Mary
Davies VS. Charles Davies, In which
the plaintiff petitions the court for
divorce with 500 temporary alimony,
and $500 alimony at the final hearing.
The request is also made that the
plaintiff be allowed to return to her
maiden name, that of Miss Mary Liero.
Mr. and Mrs. Davies were married Feb
ruary 10, 1903, and lived together until
few weeks ago. when. it is alleged,
| Mr.. Davies became angry and catching
her by the arm dragged her out OF the
house and down on the ground, where
he brutally kicked and choked her
leaving many bruised and purple spots
upon her body. The plaintiff states
that the defendant has property con-
sisting Of horses, cattle, hogs and
crops worth $1,000, and asks that the
same be attached to secure payment
of alimony
Personal and Otherwise.
Mr.. and Mrs. Christ, who have been

SENATOR'S WIFE HEARS NEWS.
Mrs. Dubois Visiting at Tracey Hears
Of Victory Over Morrnons.

Tracey, Aug. 20.--Mrs. Fred D. Du-
bois, wife of United States Senator Du-
bois, of Idaho, is visiting relatives at
this place. She Is bride of three years
and was former Iowa girl, though a
resident of South Dakota at the time
she was married. She has watched
with keen interest the proceedings of
the democratic state convention at
Lewiston, Idaho, and was disappointed
yesterday to read in the papers that
her husbands long fight in favor of a
resolution against polygamy has re-
suited in defeat. A series of affection
ate kilograms passed between the
couple. Mrs. Dubois was overjoyed
upon receipt of a message from her
husband to the effect that after an all
nights session the state convention
had reconsidered It's action relative to
polygamy and that her husband had
achieved notable victory.

suit Of his observations:
There is no possible chance of Mr..

Judge Samuel Seabury of the city
court of New York goes farther. - He
has written letter saying that he
will not vote for either Parker or
Roosevelt, but for Watson. His let
says:
Davis. The action of the convention
In approving the crime committed In
Illinois, the facts being clearly pre-
sented and being undisputed, showed
that the convention preferred the rule
of the political corruptionist rather
than recognize that political conven-
tions should be honestly conducted
and that the majority should rule.
Judge Parker's persistent silence
before he was nominated and his
tricky telegram as soon as he had
safely secured the nomination showed
him to be an apt pupil of the political
methods Of David B. Fill. The decep-
ton to which Judge Parker and his
friends resorted to secure the nominal
ton and his reputation of the COM
promise entered into in relation to the
platform WILL l believe, before the
campaign is over, be made perfectly
apparent. When the facts are appre-
ciated they can excite no other feeling
than disgust and contempt
1.-THE convention was controlled by
union of monopoly and pro- slavery ele-
ments."
The letter is printed in the Hearst
newspapers. Parker's managers may
be attracting back the conservative
democrats, but they are driving away
the radicals. 1t Is plain that the same
bait will not catch both classes. The
practical question is as to whether
there are more of the one than OF the
other kind of votes. Some of the Bry.
antics will support Roosevelt, as being
the most direct way of reorganiztng
the freorganlzers, but more of them
| will vote for the populist candidates.
