was in citizens clothes. The Cuban
was on an outgoing stage, and his
capture was made outside the city.
The officer brought him through little

local Judge, in front of which a great
crowd was clamoring for the lynching

the progressive merchant to live up to the

as the accidents Of the trade and are oc-
casioned through various causes. During
July we mean to make them a fundamental
part of this business. Take this sale, they de-
mand the attention of everybody interested
in good seasonable goods at low prices. The
adjective low in this instance does not give
sufficiently forceful emphasis to the values,
for they are as exceptional as any this store

not to amuse his readers. But re-
cent events render reversal of judg-

The other day the editor went to

When he returned and was about to
begin a scathing editorial on the trust
question, what was his surprise to see,
on the blank sheet of paper he had left
in his Remington. the following lines:

port OF Mr.. Bryan, populist is TOLD
that vote for his own candidate is a
vote. for Parker, Dave Hill, Belmont
and Wall street, it rs about time for
the populists to establish the most dis
tant relations possible with such men,
instead OF considering fusion with
them.
The last election in this state when
populists, democrats and republicans
all had tickets in th,, field was in 1895.
At that election the republicans cast
1921 votes, the populists cast 1856
votes, the gold democrats cast for Ma
honey 1885 votes, the silver demo-
Gratis for Phelps 1909 votes Mr.. Bry-
an stumped the state for Phelps and
by casting that many votes for Phelps,
defeated the populist candidate, Judge
Maxwell. There was practically no
campaign made for Maxwell. All the
literature that was circulated were
some. extracts from Maxwell's deci-
sions. There were no speakers in the
field, and yet the populists came out
and voted to the number OF over 10000.
In 1896 many of them refused to vote,
in 1900 still larger numDer refused
to vote There is no possibility of
carrying this state unless these men,
who have refused to vote because they
believed that the democratic party
would go back to Clevelandism can be
induced to vote. They never will
vote for men who support Parker.

duced in the proportion which the
number of such male citizens shall
bear to the whole number OF male
citizens Il years of age in such state"
The enforcement OF that amendment
would probably reduce the represent
tation of northern states more than it
would those OF the south. If one will
count up the number of voters dis
franchised in the north by property,
literacy and other qualifications they
would find them more numerous than
the DISTINGUISHED negroes in the south.
1t will hardly be claimed that any
party or man, not even the furious
Teddy himself, would undertake to en-
force that amendment In south and
not in the north Remember that
that amendment declares that If the
right to vote is denied to any male IL
years Of age for any reason than for
participation in rebellion or other
crime" the basis of representation
shall be reduced. There is not state
in the union that does not refuse the
ballot to males over q for other rea-
sons than that Some have education

qualifications, all have residence quail

THE wHOLE"PUsH" FOR PARKER.

The way the republican dailies are
supporting Roosevelt is shown by the
manner they treated the news about
the miners calling upon him in regard
to Colorado. They gave the widest
publicity possible to the fact that when
the miners first called. Secretary Loeb
refused to give them an audience, but
failed to say that the president was
not at home when they called. When
an engagement was at last made and
the miners were taken into the presi-
dents private study, entertained by
him for an hour and went away shout
ing for Roosevelt, the eastern dailies
said nothing about It, and that fact
was obtained from the Colorado pa
pers II the incident mad been con-
nected with Judge Parker, the repub-
lican dailies would have spread it out
over columns and repeated ii day after
day In different forms. The whole re-
publican push Is for Parker.
