nnanciaI losses, is about to return to
politics. He will add to the sorrows of
certain staid Republican senators even
If he does not add to the gayety of ma
tons. Republicans boast that the late
Senator Marcus A. Hanna's greatest
personal triumph and satisfaction was
in rolling Pettigrew, but they fail to
state how much the performance cost
Uncle Mark. There never was a BRAY
er fighter than Pettigrew, and his re-
turn to the senate would be hailed
with delight by thousands of people,
many Of whom are opposed to him po-
litically. Nobody ever insinuated that
he is not honest and candid. Indeed
the reason why he was so fiercely
hated in certain quarters is that he was
too candid. His tongue is sort of
two edged sword, as many a grave and
reverend senior can testify. He cut
to the bone and gave the plutocrats of
the senate many an unhappy hour:
consequently they are in mortal terror,
whenever his possible return to the
senate is mentioned.

Tn. World Moves.
The following quotation is earnestly
commended to all concerned:

commended to all concerned:
When, however, in the course of nature
Mr.. Rockefeller dies and his fortune is
bequeathed to Others may not the gov
srnmsnt step in and take portion of 1t?
The nation may rightfully claim to be
one Of the natural heirs of every fortune.
In other words an inheritance tax of
sven large proportions seems to be from
every point Of view fair and beneticent
way Of preventing the too great growth of
family fortunes such as might overshadow
the power of the government itself. On
the other hand, any legislation TO limit
the size of mans fortune during his
lifetime is setting bounds to beneficent
ambition and enterprise.
Now, that paragraph furnishes much
food for thought. Who wrote it? Will
liam Jennings Bryan, William Ran
dolph Hearst or any other wild and
woolly Democrat? Not so. 1t is part
OF an editorial from the Wall Street
Journal, an organ Of high finance and
high fnanciers. 1t is a square declara-
tion in favor of an inheritance tax. II
an inheritance tax is correct, why Is
not an income tax also correct? Yet
only twelve years ago all those who
advocated small income tax were de-
pounced by such as the Wall Street
Journal as anarchists, and the supreme
court Of the United States decided the
income tar unconstitutional by vote
Of 8 to 4, though in order to do so 1t
had to reverse the decisions of the
name tribunal for hundred years.
That to 4 decision, secured, as Il
was, by the astounding somersault Of
Mr.. Justice Shiras, is the foulest bio
ppon the record of the supreme court
always excepting the to Z decision
which robbed Samuel Jones Tilden Of

tunes of Mr.. Bryan when he was the
OF our party for president,
and it may as we'll be known now, as
later In the campaign. that If a pseudo
democrat is nominated for governor
by our party this year-or one who
did not heartily, and to the best OF
his ability. support Mr.. Bryan In the
years mentioned, or one who has not
been and is not now, in full accord
with democratic ideas and principles
as defined by w. ]. Bryan and others
who believe with him, he will be de-
feated by a majority ofvotes to which
the last republican majority will seem
a mere bagatelle.

be comparable only to that handed to

ing their cue from the Belmonts, Nc
Carrens, McClellans, Murphys, Sulli-

men of the same ilk in our own state
and other states are rushing towards
the Bryan band-wagon. From this
time forward till our state convention
meets they will tout Herod Herod" in
pretense of devotion to democratic
principles, only to deceive and sell out
those who really wish to see an hon.
est, able, enthusiastic and fearless
Bryan democrat head our ticket in
the coming campaign.
AVOID THEM AS LEPERs.
Such men have had control Of our
state committee, have control Of it
now, and it is idle to hope for even q
respectable democratic vote in the
state with such men managing our
politician campaigns. Democratic
voters will fall away from them and
their nominees as from lepers For
years those of our party who have fol-
lowed the lead of Mr.. Bryan have CIV

ideas and policies.
Men In our party who have used the
i organization to advertise themselves
Tor their business by securing q nomi'

trade or traffic must no longer be per
mitted to direct and guide our party
affairs. Only two men thus far have
been mentioned for governor who car
poll our full party vote at the mex
election and secure the Independent
vote which will be necessary to the
election of a democrat. :.

These men are Gen. James B. Wea

Weaver needs no eulogy at the hands
of any man. Mr.. Denison is his eQual

the democratic primary and vot-
ed and then because they hap
penened to be in minority they
talk of scratching the ticket.
They haven't sense enough to

lying hypocrite, they are things
who are lost to all sense of de-
cency and honor. Mr.. Zenor.

is the way Mr.. Zenor has acted
in the present campaign, and
his political head will drop in the
basket on the 9th day Of NOvem-

career of ten years that has
been noted chiefly for its monu-
mental stupidity and mastery
inactivity, with a determination
to rule or ruin. If a republican
is elected from this district il
will be because of Zenor's stu
pidity. There is no earthly ex-
cuse for any Democrat of Dubois

everyone who voted in the pri-
mary and fails to vote for Cox,
Supplies himself and acts a lie.
