Think it Over.

In a speech delivered at Jamestown,
Governor Hughes of New York said:
Political leaders who have performed
the function of clearing houses for lig-
islation, and who while posing as party
workers have served under retainer
of special interests. careless alike of
party principles andof public justice, are
passing from the stage"
They "are passing from the STAGE"
are they? Undoubtedly that is what
the representatives of special interests
would have US believe. But even now
it is generally believed that these same
special interests will dominate the re-
publican national convention, even as
they dominate the republican United
States senate.
Governor Hughes must be humor-
list. How many among the possible
nominees of the republican national
convention are Objectionable to the
great trusts? Look at the list and
think it over. The Commoner.

Harry Orchard.

When the Israelites were in the land
of Moab, Moses, the greatest lawyer
that ever lived, published the following
statute relating to convictions for
murder:
Whose killeth any person, the
murderer shall be put to death by the
mouth of witnesses; but one witness
shall not testify against any person to
cause him to die. - Mum. IS, 80.
While the law at the present time is
not as broad as the Mosaic law, it
positively provides that no one can be
convicted upon the uncorroborated evil
dence of an accomplice.
No human being should be convicted
upon the evidenc of such an inhuman
monster as Orchard has shown himself
to be. Experience teaches that the
evidence of hardened criminals is of
little value. Such individuals have lit
tie regard for truth. Manchester Dem.

Our talk turned to the subject of

she told an amusing story on this
head.
"She said that a little boy came

Bryan and the South.

Since the expose made by the Ten
nessean of the presence in the South of
trust newspaper agent to thwart and
color it's true sentiment as to the next
Democratic Presidential nominee, am
pie evidence comes to light daily in cor
roboration of this fact. There is ample
evidence also that the South is disposed
to give little heed to the trusts cry
that Southern man be put forward
for nomination. Among the voting
masses the sentiment is overwhelming
in favor of of Mr.. Bryan, because he
has stood out for almost score of
years as the great advocate of the com
mon people against the aggressors of
monopoly and special privilege. Nash

HOUSE HAS A HISTORY
WAS PLANNED TO BE THE HOME
OF NAPOLEON.
Structure Still Standing in New Or
leans-Plot to Rescue Exiled En-
peror from St. Helena Only
Fooled by His Death.

New Orleans-Of all the romance
in history there is no episode more
startling than the Creole plot to res
cue Napoleon from his prison on st.
Helena-and hence. little is known
about it.
The seeds of the plot were sown
when Joseph Bonaparte left France
and bought an estate on the northern
edge of the Adirondacks. Thither
focked the Bonapartists. But it was
in New Orleans that the plot came to
a head. To the Creoles there was a
great appeal in the pathetic spectacle
of the prisoner of Longwood," a
broken old man, "brutally imprisoned"
they said, on the bleak rocks of st.
Helena.
OF all the influential and rich Gre
oles who were interested in the plot,
the most ardent was Nicholas Girod,
millionaire. philanthropist, patriot,
mayor for several terms and veteran
of Chalmette.
The plan, in few words, was to
equip fast vessel, which was to slip
past the patrol ships and into the
cove some dark night; and a party of
picked men were to scale the cliffs,
ioverpower the guard and lower the
| emperor by means of block and
| tackle. Then the speed of the vessel
| was to show clean pair of heels to
the numbering old English frigates,
| which couldn't make any better time
than so many bathtubs.
No hair-brained scheme was this,
impossible of accomplishment. The
plotters were not Missionaries, but prac-
| tical men Of affairs, who knew the OBJ
stacles and knew how to meet them,
and whose hearts and souls were
bound up in the enterprise.
Three days before the Seraphine,
built for the purpose, was to weigh an
Choir, Nicholas Girod gave banquet
in his splendid mansion to celebrate
| the event. 1t was dramatic moment,
worthy of masters canvas. The
conspirators were flushed with as
sured success. But at this dramatic
moment, when enthusiasm was at its
height, and as toasts were being

BY MEAD PUBLISHING CO
OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
A Roar from Kansas.

The lola, Kansas, Index is on the
war-path. The editor is mad and dis
gusted, and dosen't care who knows it.
The trusts and the mergers and the
combines are pinching him hard, and
while he's heard a lot of talk about
what the government is doing to
them, he hasn't experienced any relief.
"What has the federal government
done"? he asks and furnishes his own
answer:
Well, about year ago it busted the
paper trust, yet the trust still controls
the price of paper and print paper is
higher than ever. The aggregate fines
assessed against the Standard Oil Com
pany would run well up into the mil
lions, but not one cent has actually
been paid. The big four" beef pack
ing combine was found guilty, but by
order of the government they were
given an immunity bath and they es-
capped with their bank account intact.
Hartman, who stole 80 million dollars
from one railroad, will not be prose-
cuted, so late reports from Washing
ton advise us. The mineral land thieves
were allowed to go if they would turn
back to the government the land that
they had stolen, which they did, after
they had taken practically all the coal
from under it. And now comes the
announcement of the beginning of the
third annual stunt, entitled Busting
the Coal Trust" Isn't it all farce?
Haven't the plain, honest people be-
come tired of this sort of regulation?
"Farce" How you talk.
Don't you know that Teddy has been
altogether too aggressive? That he
has administered "a staggering blow to
American Industry?
Don't you know that unless the gov
eminent lets up" on the trusts and
railroads pretty soon We'll have the
dog -gondest panic the world has ever
seen?
Don't you know that while the trusts
and railroads are earning the biggest
dividends in their history, they're suf-
fering from radical half baked legis-
lation", and refuse to be responsible
for what will happen unless we, the
people, quit trying to run our own state
and national government?
Don't you know that the only thing
that will save us is to turn the public
business back to the corporations and
their politicians again, while the people
formally announce they've gone out of
the governing business for good?
Quit your kicking, Kansas! We've
gone ''too far already. Teddy says
so himself. We've got to get safe and
sane and conservative again. Omaha
