sact. The bond company on patrol
men bonds will ask TO be allowed to
withdraw. and the policemen will
then be without bond unless they
ask individuals to become surety. II
is stated that they will not favor
this, because they do not care to sub
ject friends to the expense because
OF attorneys fees in suits brought
against them for actions in the dis
charge of their duty. It may be pos
sible to secure another bonding COM
pany to become surety but the po-
llcemen have taken no steps TO sub
stitute a bond so far. and will not

mitted the company to withdraw.

to the fact that the commissioners
have not equipped the fire engine for

very men whom Mr.. Bryan more vio-
lently than an other speaker stigma
tized as ''impefialists," advocated
only the doctrine Mr. Bryan has adopt
ed and enunciated as his own.
United States never has practiced
seizure. except in the acquisition Of
some Of the territory. comprised In the
present states What colonies We
now possess fell into our hands by
sheer force of Circumstances. and it
would not be consonant with Mr..
Bryan's newly embraced faith to leave
them to their fate.
Mr.. Bryan says he spoke only of the
peaceful spread OF knowledge. intel
l:eence and morality" but these are
sometimes distributed in the manner
he speaks of as incidental" In his
speech he advocates an aggressive as
sumption of the white Mans Bur
den" In his Fourth of July Grafton
more logically than in his subsequent
explanations Mr.. Bryan leaves the man
ner of taking up this burden TO cir
cumstances. fop after all. the policy
adopted is only The means to the end :;
and whether the burden is being car
rIed as England does, willy-nilly, or
the way the United States does. with
a wry grimace. II is the white mans
Burden" as Mr.. Bryan has come to
see IL, more or less eonscientiously as
sumed.
The trouble with Mr. Bryan is that
he sees visions of the deadly paral-
lei" being drawn on him in the APP
preaching campaign. But he will have
enough explaining to do then, and the
less he does now, the less he will have
to do by and by.
The Democratic press of the coun-
try, foreseeing just such embarrass-
ments in the way of the boy orator
OF the Platte" who never kept an
idea in pickle. referred to his growth
and development with ripened oppor-
tunity for observation, and it was
hoped this blanket excuse would be
sufficient to cover all palpable incon-
slstencies during his transition. APP
parently, MIR. Bryan is not in touch
with a press clipping bureau.

That fellow. who extended the in
vitation to the president of the United
States to preside as POSTMASTER at a
banquet given by the opposite political
party in honor of an avowed candidate
OF that party for the presidency two
years hence, should be given fine
diplomatic berth at once. It's safe
gamble he doesn't line up with the
trusts. Whatever may be the faults
of great organizations of capital, they
demand brains.

FIGHT FIRE

WITH APPARATUS.
Eight ~ Them WIN he Made Ready
for Emergency IN the Paducah
Yards.

The Illinois Central Railroad COM
pany has adopted an Improvement on
switch engines. While WI make them
serve a dual purpose. Switch engines
will not only serve as the motive pow
er In making up trains. but will be
portable FIRE departments.
This morning Master Mechanic r.
J. Turnbul received blue prints OF
the Improvement with authority TO
make them at once. Every switch
engine in The Paiucah yards IA 10 be.
supplied with nifty feet OF strong Ore
hose with up-to-date nozzle. A box
Is TO be Installed on the side OF the
tank for storing the hose. and ct"
connection is to be made with the in
Jcctor pipe. by the turning OF
valve water can be thrown through
the hose at high pressure-the same
pressure used In forcing IL into the
boiler-and many fires occurring in the
yards and on property located along
the right OF way. can be successfully
fought gy these appliances.
1t is not known K this Improvement
Is general. hut the presumption IL
that Il is. The Illinois Central has
lost a great deal through yard fires.
and experience has taught that this
expense of Installing the hose and con.
nections will be an economical move
In the long run. Eight engines here
are to be fitted out at once.
