also slave, who loved Nicanor far better than
he knew. OF these two, the lords daughter
and the one who went in chains and Of Nicanor s
life and deeds Is the story-a tale OF the Kind

Democrats and Whisky.

The democratic party has so long
been associated in the public mind with
liberal policy toward the liquor in
berest that it excites the curious to
find that party in some states leading
the way with regard to the regulation
Of the traffic In Ohio the democrats
put up and elected strong temperance
man governor, whose untimely death
has probably given a setback to a
movement for the enforcement of the
liquor laws in the cities of the state.
Governor Pattison had announced that
he would remove mayors who did not
enforce the laws. ~.
He did not remove any in his short
term, but there was general move
ment toward better enforcement of the
law The lid was put on in Cinoin-
natl by a democratic mayor, Toledo
cleaned up and other cities followed
suit. In Kentucky democratic gov
ernor put the lid on Louisville, one of
the most charmingly frank whisky
towns in the world. In Tennessee both
parties have called for better regula
tion of the liquor business in their plat
forms. Senator Tillman has gone home
to South Carolina to put in busy sum
mer, not with constitutional questions
but in suppressing the "speakeasies ;
which have thriven under the dispen
sary law In his absence. Last year il

Mr.. Bryan showed good sense in his
attitude regarding the sudden and rather
premature rush to the place where his
standard may be set up sometime. He
says, speaking Of his indorsers:
I do not regard their expressions as
binding upon them or upon the party Of
their state. I shall not prosecute them
for breach Of promise If they transfer
their affections to another; will not even
publish their letters I may add that it
would not be just to me to be put in the
attitude Of announcing my candidacy or
admitting the certainty Of my being a
candidate. It Is two years before the con-
vention meets and am not willing to
sit on a stool and look pretty that long.
I prefer to be in a position to say what
I think ought to be read, write what ]
| think ought to be written and to do what
think ought to be DONE. am advancing
in years and cannot spare two years out
Of my life just at this time. = r -,

Endorsements over the .transom Mr.
Mr.. Bryan is not going to unchain the

MIR. Cassatt's Wall.

President Cassatt of the Pennsylva-
MIA, who has been "going some' since
the interstate commerce commission I
got after his road, stops running long
enough to wipe his brow and gasp that
"this spirit of investigation, if con-.
tinued, will stop improvements and
bring about general business lepres-
sion.''
AS investigation has tendency to
hurt no man who is honest and straight
forward in his dealings, the inference
is that President Cassatt is not in that
class, hence his scare.
The spirit Of investigation has been
abroad in this country for nearly two
years, and there is no evidence that it
has hurt any honest man. The insur-
ance companies are stronger today in
public confidence for the house clean
! ing they have received. President Cas-
satt would doubtless argue that it
would have been better to have left
them in charge of Jimmy Hyde, the
McCurdys and the Wall street crowd.
Investigation has cost these worthics
their jobs and has loosened the clutches
of spectators on the trust funds in
the keeping of the insurance COM
panies. Moreover, investigation was
the direct cause Of upward Of million
dollars being restored to the treasures
of the three companies by scared graft
ers. Probably they join Mr.. Cassatt in
the opinion that the spirit Of investi-
cation depresses business. It depressed
theirs.
The spirit of investigation got busy
with the meat trust and while a num-
Der of dollars may have been lost, there
seems to be a consensus of opinion
that the lives of great many people
have been saved and the health Of a
great many more defended. Probably
Mr.. Cassatt deplores the loss Of dollars
but the narrow-minded investigators
thought it more important to have pure
food than that the trust should have
extraordinarily large dividends.
The spirit of investigation has inter
fered with the monopoly Of STANDARD
Oil, has depressed the looting Of tn,
public lands, has excited the DISCUS

Moving on T. Taggart's Works.


The public will, no doubt, be sur
prised to hear from Thomas Taggart a
denial of the fact gambling flourishes
at his hotel at French Lick Springs, and
not surprised to hear that it does make
some Roadway in "near-by building.'
Under the circumstances, people will
wonder why the authorities should have
raided the hotel and taken out a great
amount of gambling paraphernalia. Per
haps the nearby people had gotten
wind of the impending raid and re-
moved their tools to the hotel for safe
keeping.
French Lick has been advertised all
over the country as the Monte Carlo OF
America. It has been standing dis
grace to the 1aw-abiding people Of the
state of Indiana. 1t has been strong
enough to corrupt the local keepers of
the law 1t is now a question whether
1t can cow the administration of the
state. ~~s
The fact that the proprietor Of this
highly interesting joint is chairman OF
the democratic national committee an@
that the administration of Indiana is
republican has no bearing on the case
If there had been, a political motive
back of the activity of the attorney
general of the state he would probably
have found it convenient to move o,
Mr. Taggart IS works during the cam
paign. That he has done so between
campaigns is suggestive Of a pur
motive to clean up the state and t.
assert the sovereignty Of the law i
