Bryan and the Republicans.

Mr.. Bryan has been rising above party
OF late. but in doing so has been playing
some very shrewd politics. That Is to say
he has been adding by his deliverances to
the difficulties of the republicans in their
factional snarls.
Take this from the Commoner on the sub
ject of the tariff:
THE 'standpatters' accuse the Cummins
men of disturbing the harmony of the re-
publican party but. as a matter OF fact
Gov CumminS Is pursuing the only course
that can give permanent strength to his
party. 1t is an insult to the intelligence OF
the people to say that they will long support
a party dominated by the corporations
Now these are good sentiments. but COM
ing from Mr.. Bryan they are seized upon
b. the standpatters in their fight against
tariff revision and made to do duty against
Gov Cummins and his friends. Gov. Cum
minis is for tariff revision on protection
lires. Mr.. Bryan favors the policy In the
hope of reaching in the end tariff for rev.
enue only But the standpatters contend
that the two men are brothers In the con-
test and that both should be defeated.
Again. in the matter of the railroads. Mr..
Bryan favors the fixing of rates by federal
authority and applauds the President for
hi, efforts in that direction. Speaking to
Wednesday Mr.. Bryan said:
II want to encourage the republicans VINO
are trying to make their party better. l
don't want the republican party to be bad
party just because that would benefit the
democrats. The fight that is now going on
In that party will create a class to whom
we can appeal with hope if they fall in
getting what they demand in their own
ranks.
These also are good sentiments. but COM
ing from Mr.. Bryan, they will please the
railroads. The Nebraska democrats have
again fused with the populists. and the
popuists in their platform declare for the
national ownership and operation of rail-
roads Here. the railroads will insist, is
the milk in the cocoanut. Mr.. Bryan, who,
as they claim, is as much populist as demo-
crat, is anxious to see the railroad ball set
a-rolling and will assist to that end in the
belief that the end means government own
ership and operation.
Regardless. however, OF these Machia-
vellian touches OF Mr. Bryan, the republic
cans have a clear duty to perform In both
of these matters Tariff revision prepared by
the party of protection with protection kept
in view could have no squint toward free
trade, and government ownership of rail-
roads Is no part. direct or indirect, of any
republican policy as to railroad rates.

More Loss, Another Proof.

The latest government defalcation seems
to have been another case of long trusted
clerk. loose system of auditing and an
accidental discovery There have been SO
many of these during the past few years
that the wonder grows apace that there are
any more. Surely the public officials have
had warnings enough that 1t Is unsafe to
leave unbonded clerks in charge cyscash
or credits without imposing rigid checks
upon them. 1t Is unfair to the subordinates
thus thrust within range OF strong tempta--
ton. 1t is unfair to the public at large
thus to expose the governments money to
these pilferers. The unbonded clerk who
handles cash or credits Is menace to the
departmental system. II was. supposed
that he had been eliminated altogether

TOWNSEND GIRLS PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Netiie BeardsIey Got Sand Burr Caught fn
Her Throat Which BaffIed Physicians.

TOWNSEND, Sept 19:-On Friday last
there was very delicate operation
performed in Wilmington when
three doctors removed a sand burr
from the throat of Nettie Beardsley of
Townsend. On Wednesday last while
she was in a watermelon patch near her
home she encountered a number of
sand burrs. She picked them off her
hands but one stuck so fast to her fin
ger that she caught it with her teeth.
In some manner the burr stuck fast in
her throat. She was taken to the Office
of DIR. Enos of Townsend, but that
physician was unable to remove the
burr. Daniel r. Jones accompanied
the girl to Wilmington on Friday
evening, and they went to the Office of
Drs. R. r. Tybout. He found that the
problem was very difficult one and
DIR. Winner and Ellegood were called
in and for nearly two hours they
worked hard in the effort to locate and
then dislodge the burr. They were un-
able to do so as the walls of her
throat would close on the instru-
ments used by them. After several
unsuccessful attemps had been made it
was decided that anesthetics would
have to be used. One more effort was
made and the burr was finally dis
lodged. The young girl was unable
to talk on account of the, soreness of
her throat. The doctors said that they
have heard of many curious things get
ting lodged in persons throat, but
that this was the first case where a
sand burr had wedged itself there.

ran was returning home alone in her
carriage when the negro stepped out
of the bushes and stopped her horse
Mrs. Cochran was prepared for such
emergency, for beside her lay a re-
volver. She quickly picked up the
weapon and leveling it at the head OF
the negro demanded that he throw uE
his hands. The man quickly let go
the horse and ran into the woods. Mrs
Cochran fired at the fleeing negro, bu
her aim went wide.

Since the movement to have water
system installed in Millington has
been unproductive of results, the
Board of Town Commissioners have
purchased a combination water and
chemical engine of the latest improved
pattern to fight fires that may occur in
the future. Over year ago Milling
ton was swept by fire that nearly
destroyed the whole town, burning 80
buildings and entailing an enormous
loss. On the anniversary of this fire an
other fire broke out which threatened
the town. All this time and for years
previous, Millington has been without
fire protection other than bucket bri-

Commissioners in purchasing a
