Cutting. Onnaha XNorId Herald

Omaha World Herald.
 Whether the Rev. E. s. Boyce of the Oiivet Presbyterian Church of Chester, Pa. has solved a church problem or not IS a. question, but there Is no doubt that this reckless preacher, has stirred up the community in which he lives, Last Sun. day morning he surprised the members Of his congregation by reading out of the church four prominent members, on the charge that they had been too inactive and diiatofy in attendance"
 Under the circumstances 1t is doubtful whether the four Presbyterians thus dis ciplined will much longer remain 'fnao- tive" Without comment upon this pas tors proficiency as preacher, 1t is questionable whether the leader should compel his flock to listen to his sermons when those discourses no longer appeal to them Such a method, at least, is hardly in harmony with the religious thought of the day and smacks of the old Puritan times when attendance at church was deemed essential to escape from eternal fires. +tt :.
 One of the four. members publicly ex- pelled was the president of the Ladies' Aid Society, and it is very likely that this reckless minister will find some things foreordained which he had not sur missed

Bryan Introduces Himself.

Macon Telegraph.
 Mir. Bryan goes to Chicago, rents a hall. presides as chairman at his own meeting, introducing himself and makes bitter attack on Judge Alton B. Parker.
 Failing to draw Judge Parker into a wordy war MT. Bryan takes the New York State platform as an expression of Judge Rarker's views and he ''cavorts powerful"
 That MT. Bryan found no Democrats in Chicago to furnish him with an invi- tation to speak, no hall to speak in, no chairman to preside and introduce him, Is remarkably significant The explana- tion is offered that MT Bryan chose this course so as not to involve with him any faction, but that is rot. Bryan's endea- vor is to link in with him all he can. Else for what did he speak? What was he out foT2
 The truth is. Democrats in Chicago see as they do in Georgia, that Parker is almost certain of the nomination. and MT, Bryan's war on him Is unrighteous, selfish and malignant, that he is prob- ably preparing the way for bolt And this Is the reason why he had to hire his own hall and Introduce himself at ms own meeting.

Cherokee q. T) Advocate.
 A dispatch from Vinita to The Kansas Clty star says that almost all of the leaders or the Democratic party in the lndlap Territory are in favor of Judge Alton B. Parker of New York for can dldate for President. In the Cherokee nation there has been a rush for the Parker band wagon and the Hearst men are growing weaker with the increasing stfenetn of the Parker forces There IS not the slightest doubt that when the votes are cast in national convention the iholsn Ierritory's six votes will be found In the Parker column.

The Portland Oregonian, discussing MT. Carnegie's gift of five millions for the purpose of rewarding or pensioning the unknown heroes of life thinks fit is worth while to inquire whether herosim will be thus stimulated" This question is ap- parentiy based on a mlseonception of the real spirit of the benefaction. It was not intended as a stimulus for men to do their duty. for we have not yet arrived at a stage where men have become so coward Iy or so thoroughly commercialized that they will not attempt to save others un- less they are certain to be paid for it. We would be nation of poltroons if no man would go into the army unless he felt sure of pension. and we would be no better if men in civil life would not risk themselves to save the lives of, oth- CTS unless they were sure of getting paid for 1t.

PAPERS TURN FROM BRYAN.
Montana Journals That Refriended Him Score His Chicago Speech.

Helena (Mont.) Special. -
 Judging by editorial comment in to- days leading Democratic daiEes of both the so-called Clark and Daily factions the speech of W. J. Bryan in Chicago was 'the last straw" These papers have heretofore praised Bryan at every turn verely take him to task for his speech. The Anaconda Standard concludes that as Bryan is criticising the omissions rather than the commissions of the New York Democracy. it will now be in order for him to hire hall next Saturday and go after'' the Massachusetts Demo- crats, whose platform contains only an indorsement of Olney.
 The Helena Independent, the personal organ of Senator Clark, the largest con- tributor to the Bryan campaign fund four years ago, intimates that Bryan makes it "tired." saying that such dis cussions are not interesting to the great majority of people. Tt is just coneeiv- able" 1t says, that the New York plat

Al RAr AND A RINa.

The latest place where a valuable dia- snond ring has been fapnd .was on the neck of a dead rat. Assuming the story to be true,s it would be interesting if one could trace the history of this piece of jewelry. from the time 1t was lost two years ago till the dead rodent was found with the goods on him. Sherlock Holmes would probably go at 1t in about this style: The young lady who lost the ring probably dropped 1t unknowingly and it naturally rolled under bureau or into convenient hole. There is generally a place for a ring or a collar button to take itself out of reach, and this one doubtless followed the usual course.
 But however 1t may have occurred that next factor in the case was an adolescent rodent prying about for a bit of cheese og cracker to try his first teeth on. He saw the shining jewel and with the curiosity natural to rats and children commenced to investigate it, and tho first he knew he had stuck his head through it and had It safely around his neck. Then 1t may be that he couldn't get 1t off, for some things are much more easily acquired than disposed of. measles and matrimony, for example. His head went through without difficulty, but the reverse process was a failure. Or 1t may be that the sparkling jewel attracted so much attention from others of his family that he was too proud of it to dispense with It. If 1t was a female rat, we are sure this theory would hold good. Be that as 1t may the animal held posses sion until death came, the ring probably choking 1t to death, or compressing it's neck so much as 1t grew that eating was Impossible
 So much for theory and deductions. The bald facts are that in tearing up a barn floor recently a dead rat was discovered with the ring on its neck, and young lady declared that she lost the jewel over two years ago and could never form any theory as to the how or when of its dis- appearance. All that is certain about 1t is that 1t was lost and was found in the manner described. All else is con- lecture, but we claim that we have built up a plausible theory and defy any one to build a better one.
