Mr.. BRYAN LOYAL.
His Support of Judge Parker IL SIM
ccre and Earnest.

His Support of Judge Parker IL Sim
ccre and Earnest.
Mr.. Bryan's Springfield speech should
put to sleep the ugly SANDER that his
support of Judge Parker was luke
warm, If not positively treacherous.
In one of the most powerful public
addresses he ever delivered Mr.. Bryan
puts beyond question the sincerity and
earnestncss of his allegiance to Judge
Parker and the Democracy.
The key to Mr.. Bryan's thought is
found in this passage: 1.-THE election Of
Judge Parker will place in the White
House man whose thoughts tend to-
ward peace rather than to war, u man
who believes that our nation should be
admired for its moral grandeur rather
than excite fear by the number of its
soldiers or the size Of its guns, and this
is reason enough why should support
him."
Addressing himself directly to silver
Democrats. Mr.. Bryan reminded them
that Judge Parker had voted for him
when the restoration of bimetallism
was the paramount issue. "If he could
vote for me when the money question
was paramount" said Mr.. Bryan, II
can vote for him when we are con-
fronted With another and greater issue
than the money question"
There is nothing equivocal in this
Bryan Democrats will find no encour.
agement in it to sulk OF bolt the ticket
No man who has faith in the former
leader and desires now to follow him
can be at loss to know what path to
take.
It is the greater issue" that Mr.
Bryan sees. He confesses no change in
his views OH economic questions. But
he insists that these are in allegiance
while an issue involving the very ex-
istence of the constitution and Ameri
can liberty is being decided. Judge
Parker believes in the gold standard
he says, 81 believe in bimetallism. but
l can vote for him in order that
through him the country may rid itself
of an imperial policy
No Bryan Democrat who believes II
Mr.. Bryan's sincerity can mistake hi
attitude to the party and the candi
date. He supports Judge Parker be
cause Parker embodies the greater
ISSUE" in comparison with which al
other issues become Insignificant. Tht
doubts of silver Democrats should
eyaporate in the warmth of Mr.. Bry
ans patriotic devotion to Parker an(

From the other side.

The Democratic case could hardly be
better put than it was by Judge Par
ker in his speech accepting the nomi-
nation for president. 1t is calm,
sober, moderate and dignifed discus
sion. not so much Of the issues Of the
campaign as Of the principles under
lying them. There is no attempt to
"answer" any one. and least of all is
there any disposition shown to get ON
the defensive. What we have is a
positive statement of principles from u
man who clearly believes that 1t Is
better to prove your own case than to
disprove that of your opponent. So

sumes the ofensive-as is proper in

Some colored man drops in to tea.

He spirits around the house. or. II
His residence is Oyster Bay.
He races up and down the cliff,
While sea gulls scream about his legs
Or hasten home to hide their eggs.
In martial exploits he delights
And has no fear Of wars alarms;

Since first he was child lin arms);
Like battle horse when bugles bray
He champs his bit and tries to neigh.

ties to Career OF Rowdy Adven-
ture Abroad.

In an open letter to President Roose-
velt, Joseph Pulitzer, editor Of the New
York World, tells the chief executive
that he is playing a dangerous game.
He says in part:
"AIr. President, your record on April
2, 1902, was speech ut Chicago, since
famous as the first appearance of the
big stick in our national policy:
ST believe in the Monroe doctrine with
all my heart and soul; I am convinced that
the immense majority of our fellow coun-
trymen SO believe in it, but would in
flnitely rather see us abandon 1t than to
see US put it forward and bluster about
1t and yet fail to build up the efficient
fighting strength which in the last resort
can alone make 1t respected by any
strong foreign power whose interest 1t
may ever happen to be to violate it. e.
There Is homely old adage which runs.
Speak softly and carry a big stick;
you will go far If the American ma
ton will speak softly and yet build and
keep at pitch Of the highest training

doctrine will 60 far.

PRESIDENT HAS TROUBLE
Chief Executive Has Difficulty Secur'
ing Canal Commissioners.

Washington, Feb. 23.--President
Roosevelt is experiencing some diff
Guilty in securing the services of men
Of such ability as to warrant him In
appointing them members of the
isthmian canal commission.
An instance of this is the declina-
ton of John CARRIER of San Francisco
of the proffer made to him by the
president. Mr.. CARRIER is mining
lawyer Of established position and wide
regulations. He could not afford to
sacrifice his practice to accept posi-
ton on the commission.
Similar difficulty is being encount-
cred in the case Of Alfred Noble, of the
PENNSYLVANIA road. Some arrange
ment may be effected, however, by
which Mr.. Noble may undertake the
government work.
The president has authority to TX
the compensation Of the canal COM
missioners until the congress shall de-
termine the salaries The cOmpensa-
ton OF engineers and other employees
on the canal will be fixed by the COM
mission itself.
AS Mr.. CARRIER has declined appoint
ment, 1t is expected the president Will
select some other man who resides in
one Of the Pacific coast states.
The southern member of the COM
mission will likely be M. B. Herrod,
one of the engineers of the Mississippi
river commission. He Is a resident of
New Orleans, and Is regarded as one
of the best equipped engineers in the
country.

the late Senator Marcus Alonzo Han
ma, probated tp-day an estate valued
at about. So, 100000 issleft to the fam
lily.

bequests. Thelprincipal benef1ciaries
are the widow. Mrs. Charlotte Augusta,

took out considerable life, insurance
for the benefit of his three, children.
The will provides that these gifts are
not to be taken into consideration in

NOTED SINGER
DIES In WANT
Wife of Russian Prince Who Sang
with Patti Expires in

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Feb. 23.-Mme. Eleonora
Petrelli, once a world renowned opera
singer and widow of Prince Won Pet
ronoff of Russia. died alone and in
want, save, for the plying charity of
strangers.
Next Monday night Nine. Adelina
Patti, in whose company Nine. Pet
relli once stood as Sembrich stands to
Melba, will be in Chicago. But she
will arrive too late to view the re-
mains of the titled singer with whom
she has shared her greatest triumphs.
Mime. Petrelli was the daughter and
lheiress Of one of the wealthiest counts
of Scandinavia. She lived to see two
great fortunes melt away and to have
her title Of royalty taken from her.
Driven by necessity to- sing for liy-
ing In the royal opera companies OF
the continent, the singer won her way
in the profession until at the
Russian court in ST.. Petersburg she
became the wife Of Prince Won Pet
ronoff, a Boyar nobleman.
A series of misfortunes eventually
left her adrift as a poor teacher OF
music in Chicago at the age OF 81
years.
Her father was the Count 4Wefgant
of Sweden. her mother the Countess
Won Schwerin. She was descended in
a direct line from the Grand Duke OF
heidelberg and the Rev. DR.. Count
Won Schwerin, at one time the most
noted man in Scandinavia.

MARTIN HANGED
AT BUTTE CITY
Murder Committed in May, 1902,
Expiated- Trap Sprung in
Utter Darkness.

Butte, Mont, Feb. 23.-James Mar
tin was hanged to-day for the murder
of j. r. Williams at Silver Bow juno
ton, in May, 1902. The trap was
sprung at 4:42 a. m.
The hanging took place in utter
darkness, and the only indication that
the trap was sprung was the noise.
Martins neck was broken by the fall.
His only words on the scaffold were:s
Goodbye, God bless you ALL
The Crime.
On May 10. 1902, Martin and
Charles Lennox met Williams at Silver
Bow Junction. Williams showed
some money while in saloon and
Martin and Lennox followed him to
the station where Williams intended to
take train for Anaconda. Williams
resisted their attempt to rob him and
was knocked down. One of his as
sailants-it never has been settled
definitely which-shot Williams. The
two then ran off without securing any
money. Williams died the next day.
Martin and Lennox were soon cap
tured, tried. convicted and sentenced
to be hanged. The executions were
stayed by appeals to the supreme
court. Before the appeals We're de-
cided there was a Jail break in which
six prisoners got away, among them
Martin and Lennox. Martin was re-
captured, but no trace ever has been
found Of Lennox. Martin refused to
reveal his real name.

James J. Hill, president Of the Sc

with various bankers interested and it
is now said a tentative plan has been
agreed upon for use in case the SUI
preme court decided adversely to the
company. Mr.. Hill refuses to discuss
the subject, but one Of the bankers as
sociated in the enterprise is quoted as
follows:
We do not In the slightest fear for the

end will be achieved am not at liberty to

If the supreme court finds the present
manner of holding the securities of the two
roads to be Illegal, 1t will indicate what
shall constitute a legal manner Of holding
them, and that manner of retaining them
will be pursued.

be affirmed in all particulars there would
