The personality of Mr.. Bryan has
always given him a warm corner in
the hearts of Nebraska pOpulists.
Many of them do not believe that he
takes sufficiently advanced grounds on
the questions of money and transpor-
tation, and some of them have thought
that he clings too tenaciously to the
name democrat and to the fetch of
party regularity-but they love and
honor him nevertheless because Of his
undoubted sincerity, courage and hon
esty Of purpose.
Accordingly, it was to be expected
that the banquet, given Monday night
in honor of his homecoming, should
be attended by goodfy number of
populists from over the state. His
speech was especially pleasing to pop
ulists, who had felt that his action
and editorial utterances relative to the
recent campaigns in Iowa and Ohio
portended that his regard for party
regularity would induce him to sub
nit to a compromise platform and
candidate for the sake of harmony.
He spoke in no uncertain tones regard
ing the impossibility Of harmony"
with the plutocratic element Of his
party. I'VE want the trust magnates
against us, not for u.s." he declared,
continuing that no reform is possible
with the money-changers in charge of
the party. If he could have his way,
the st. Louis convention would first
Of all reaffirm every plank of the Kan
sas City platform, and then add
planks to cover present needs. There
must be no going back and no-apol-
ogies.

grets that lack of space prevents its
reproduction entire. Mr.. Hearst in
sists that "the criminal trusts must
be destroyed, because they menace
prosperity" but is rather indefinite as
to the method of destroying them. If
the proposed destruction is to be ac-
complished by a shifting of tariff sche-
dulles and criminal prosecutions only,
and no resort is had to government
ownership and control of the two
great factors in the distribution of
wealth-money and transportation
then The Independent hasn't much
raith in it. Mr.. Hearsts attitude on
the question of transportation, as evil
denced by his newspapers, would in
dicate that he would use also the
weapon Of government ownership TO
wipe out the criminal trusts" But
there is still the question OF absolute
control by government of the amount

upon this Mr.. Hearst's attitude Is not

VIM. Randolph Hearst has male
a public statement of his position on
national issues. He favors 'organiza-
ton and combination whenever the
people are allowed to participate full
ly in the economies and advantages
which result from combination, =
which is consistent with his attitude
toward the labor unions. He believes
"the tariff is more important today
than ever. because of its vital infiu-
ence upon the Industrial combina-
tlon," quoting Havmeyers statement
that the tariff is the mother of
trusts" "The distribution of wealth.
says Mr.. Hearst, is just as important
as its creation Prosperity does not
ean~excessive wealth for few, COM
bined with poverty of the masses. The
labor union in enforcing a high scale
of wages brings about the distribu-
ton of wealth throughout the entire
community"

Republican papers call attention to
the fact that Chairman Jones of the
democratic national committee, in his
call for the st. Louis convention, "dif-
fers in marked degree" from the call
he made four years ago. This one, =
they aver, lis a straight appeal to the
regular democracy of the country. 1t
does not include an invitation to the
conservative reform element as did
the call four years ago. In other
words, the democratic national COM
mittee has shaken out the populists." ;"
These papers overlook the fact that
Chairman Jones probably reads the
papers and knew something about the
conference which met at Denver last
July, where the populists declared for
independent national political action.
They are not in the least worried at
the shaking out"

New Language.

The paragraphists are at it again,
and grammars and dictionaries of q
new international tongue to be called
"Spokil," have been published. The
new language contains about 10000
words, mostly French, and is so con-
structed that one can tell at sight
whether a word is noun, adjective or
verb, and can also guess it's meaning.
The idea is to make all words similar:
in meaning similar in sound. Thus;
"great," WIDE" "fat,'" "long," ''thick"
are represented by "alpo,' "alllo," -.
"aljo," ''also,," "alto," and their con.
verse by similar symbols beginning
with a ''u'' instead of an "a." Like.
Volapuli, Esperant and the rest, it is
doomed to failure until everybody can
be compelled by force majeure to
learn it. Really, as somebody has late
ly suggested, Latin, if deprived Of all
it's declensioAs and conjugations, would
answer all the purposes Of ''pidgin"
language and would come easy to all
civilized people. Here, as elsewhere
in educational matters, perhaps it is
Germany who is the enemy..-Pall Mall

Watch As q Shirtstud.

The latest novelty in watches has
just been completed by matchmaker
in Paris, who has made set of three
gold shirtstuds, in one Of which is a
watch that keeps excellent time, the
dial being about three-eighths Of an
inch in diameter.
The studs are connected by strip
of silver inside the shirt. The watch
contained in the middle one is wound
by the turning of the stud above and
the hands are set by turning the stud
below. The most striking thing about
the minute machine is that it works
with a pendulum like a clock, and the
pendulum will act with ease and ac1
curacy in whatever position the time
piece is placed, even if it be upside
down.--Boston Herald.

HOAR HONORED IN DEATH
Vast Tnroaas Attend Funeral Services
Over Mortal Remains OF Beloved
Statesman ct Worcester. :

The city of Worcester, Mass, Mon
day, bowed beside the body of her fore
most citizen, Senator George Frisbie
Hoar, while the state of Massachusetts
and in a large measure, the nation,
sympathized with municipality in he.
grief.
In conformity to the unostentatious
life. of the senator and in conformity
with his wishes, there was no elabo-
rate funeral ceremony, though the.
great love of the people of Worcester
and of the commonwealth, induced the
family to subordinate their own feel
ings and admit insofar as the very
limited capacity Of the building would
allow, a general attendance at the
church and permit the body to lie in
state in the city hall.
Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale, chap
lain Of the United States senate and
a lifelong friend of Senator Hoar,
conducted prayers at the home just
before 2 o'clock. Only members OF
the immediate household and few
neighbors attended this short service.
The body was then placed In the
hearse by the active pail bearers all
present or past secretaries OF the sem
ator, honorary pallbearers, Senator
Lodge, Jefferson Coolidge, Charles
Francis Adams, Attorney General VIII
liam S. Moody, Former Governor W.
Murray Crane, General w. F. Draper,
Judge Francis c.. Lowell, of Boston;
Stephen Salisbury, Henry "A. Marsh,
DR.. G. Stanley Hall and William
Rice, of Worcester. These active beat
ers and the family escorted the re-
mains to tie church. s
The militia force of the city, four
companies of infantry and battery
of light artillery under arms, were sta
toned in the streets to aid the police
in the almost unnecessary effort to
control the greatest crowd ever seen
in Worcester. As the hearse passed,
every man barred his head and manyy
women sobbed.
Rev. DR.. Hale and Rev. Rush r.
Shipper, D. D., oficiated at the church.

May Merge All Ginneries.


According to a news story going the
rounds, there is something important
taking shape among the cotton mill
men Of the cotton mill section in
reference to the cotton gins of the
south. According to the statement Of
a well posted party of Spartanburg,
who. said that there was move
ment on foot for the cotton mills of the
country to secure control of all cotton
gins in the south with the view of gain
ing control Of the output of the gins
just as soon as the cotton was placed
in readiness for being handled by the
mills.
Zone mill owner" said the gentle
man who gave 'out the information,
who is now trying to secure an in
terest in number Of gins, with the
purpose as above stated, of getting
the mills nearer the raw, cotton and
doing away wit hthe middle man deal
er. the hauling from the gin to the
mills, etc.
The basis of the movement is the
desire on the part Of many mills to
get their hands on the cotton as soon
as it is ginned, dispensing with the
intermediate transactions usual in the
buying Of cotton.

Governor Denounces Lynching.

Governor Denounces Lynching.
John Morrison shot and killed Will
lie Floyd at Kershaw after a few
words over the loan of ten cents.
Floyd being very popular, great in.
dignation was felt in the county.
Threats of lynching were freely
made. Captain Zemp, of the Kershaw
Guards, with about thirty members
of his company, went to Kershaw
from Camden on a special train in re-
sponse to Governor Heyward's orders,
but before he arrived on the scene
Morrison had been taken from the
Jail and lynched, being the first white
man ever lynched in the state.
Governor Hayward gave out state
ment in regard to the lynching. He
appreciates very much the promptness
of Sheriff Hunter in going to Kershaw,
as he did on a special train, and he
also appreciates the readiness with
which Captain Zemp and his company
responded to his call. After the order
to call out his company was given it
was not 80 minutes before Captain
Zemp reported that he was ready to
start for Kershaw.
Governor Hayward feels sure that
could Sheriff Hunter and the Kershaw
Guards have arrived on the scene no
lynching would have occurred.
Governor Hayward was severe in his
condemnation of the lynching, as he is
of all lynchings. He said that he
wants the people of South Carolina to
know that he condemns lynching, a
blot upon our civilization, and that no
crime committed makes mob law eH
cusable. Even in cases of criminal as
sault, punishment by death can and
will be meted out by the courts, and
the record Of recent years proved That
lynching for this crime leads to lynch
ing for other crimes. The time has
come, he feels, when the good people
of the state, the law-abiding people
shoulde rise up and call halt.
