THE HIGHEST PARTY LAW.

The Bryan Sullivan dispute reap
pears through the publication of
statement from Mr. Bryan and a re.
ioindcr by Mr.. Sullivan. A strange tea
ure of the controversy is the state
ncut tha Mr. Sullivan makes that
MIR. Bryan got all his information
from Mr.. Dunlap. and is doing what
Mr.. Dunlap wants him to do As Mr.
Bryan says he Intended to ask MI
sullivan to resign before he should
see NJ Dunlap, it is evident that thii
charge as 10 the source Of his informa
ion. refers TO information received
during the last few weeks.
Now. it T. generally known that Mr.
Bryan made, before the credentials
committee of the national Democratic
convention and on the floor OF the
convention itself, most bitter hgh'
against the seating of the delegation
from Illinois. whose success IS now
represented by the position Of MI
Sullivan on the national committee
Mr.. Bryan was certainly well posted
p To tine facts on which that contest
I was made Gross wrongdolng was
charged and Irregularities were ad
mi,,ed by the chairman of the com
mittee on credentials that reported ~
favor of the Hopkins delegation.
But the committee ON credentials
did vote to seat the Hopkins deiega
ton. and the convention. by an Over
whelming majority, sustained the rc
port. That was, by party law, he enc
of the matter. The convention was no
only the highest legislative body o
the party. but the highest court OF IN
party. There l. no power above Il Il
reverse lis decision and its decision
must stand until another convention
with equal power meets.
Mr. Bryan would admit that
would be better to submit to an mn
JUS decision Of the supreme court o
the United States without a murmu
than 10 attempt to overthrow 1t. IN
same principle holds with referenc
to the supreme court of a poliuca
marty. and for the same reason. 1t /
better to .ubmit to injustice in on
case than TO strike at the law itseI
! and shake its power by weakening ~
influence of its cxpounders. When tn

A LAW OF THE DESER r.
win Water and Food scarce, Er-
IRENE Measures Are Warranted


If was in the camp Of Rullfrog that
Mitchell, the big brick red mining
man of Nevada, told me his view of
law on the desert:
III you are prospecting with an I'M
reasonable hog of partner who wants
to eat three slices of bacon and halt n
loaf of bread for breakfast and lets
the canteen gurgle down his throat
Willie you get along with strip Of
bacon and just moisten your lips when
Won take a drink, then you're all right
if you Kill him I'd Kill him If there
wasn't anything else TO do. It's a
tough game and it's your life or his
when you're lost or your grub stake
ana water are giving out
These observations are suggested by
the arrival in camp two days before
of the bones of Il prospector who had
died of thirst some forty miles from
Bullfrog during the previous summer.
He had been carpenter, earning
wages of IS day in the new camps
during the BOOM" but the gold fever
led him away from this safe and
profitable toll He picked up part
uer. they loaded their burros and
trailed off south toward the Death val
ley country to prospect in the Funeral
range.
Three weeks after the desert swal-
lowed them up the partner wandered
into freighters camp, half crazed
with thirst aud exhaustion. He was
able TO tell the freightcrs that the car
penter was somewhere out beyond,
lost and without water, too helpless to
move The partner was too weak aud
fevered to go back with the rescue
party of freighters, SO they left him
in camp. He directed them as we'll as
he could. but the search was bootless,
and Griffin, the carpenter Of Bullfrog,
was added to the long list of desert
victims. Several months later a party
of prospectors tumbled by chance
across what was left of him. There
were no traces Of his outfit. lie had
thrown away his gun, his canteen and
his hat. one shoe was found thirty
feet from his body, and he had torn of
and flung away most Of his clothing
These were the CHASTITY evidences of
the hast great fight he had made tc
struggle on.
when they're dying for water said
Mitchell, who knows the desert
game" they throw away everything
until all their clothes are gone, and
you generally find them without q
stitch on. Ralph u. Paine in Outing.

certain exceptions, for reelection, and
tbav have sought by the shallowest Of
devices to forestall criticism and 10
get their ticket accepted by the pollcy
holders and the public as a measure OF
reform.
They surely ought to have foreseeh
perhaps they did foresee, that the TOUR
gentlemen whose names they TOOK
from the international Policy Holders
COMMITTEES would decline TO serve
They have In fact one and all decllned'
Even If these gentlemen had been VIII
ing to serve with the old unpurseu
hoard. they would certainly have re-
scented the manner OF their hohiiha'
ton. They were not notlhed III aa'
vance that their names would be USED.
The trustees by their counsel admit
that they had man at Albany pre-
nared ia file the list of nominations
with the superintendent of Insurance
the instant they had been acted on
by the trustees. Then follows MI
McKeen's curious statement that the
filing of the nominations has mt II
out of the power of these gentlemen
10 decline 10 run. In the face OF their
protest and refusal, the trustees say
Judge Gray, Gen. Tracy Col. Shook
and Mr. Higinbotham must stand as
candidates. We do not believe this
is the law. but if it is it is danger
Gus law, which it will be the duty OF
the Legislature to amend.
How the Mutual trustees can eX'
pect to serve their own interests or TO
retain even the small measure OF pub
lie confidence that remains TO them by
such devices as this passes all under
standing. We have said their course
| is fatuous. Measured even by a very
| low standard of intelligence 1t could
not be made to seem otherwise, YET
the members of the Mutual board are
commonly credited with exceptional
intelligence and they are experienced
business men. 1t is amazing that they
should attempt in this foolish way to
pull the wool over the eyes Of their
policy holders, The effect of their
tactics must be the very reverse OF
what they intend, FOR when subter
fuges are employed to help a cause II
is warrantable conclusion that Its
supporters shrink from open and
STRAIGHTFORWARD methods. Perhaps
they thought in this way to spike the
! guns of the Policy Holders Committee
organized to put the control of the
| Mutual's assets into the hands OF their
real owners SO far from spiking any
guns. they have merely made large
addition to the pile of ammunition
available for use against themselves.
