TELLS HOW TO
BEAT BRYAN.
Republicans Have But to Stand
Fast and True to Their His
t0ric Principle.

Evidence comes from all over tine
country, in the action of conventions
the utterances of local leaders, ant
the manifest drift of the body of the
party, that Mr.. Bryan is still the one
national leader of the Democracy
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
There is little doubt that in 1905
Mr.. Bryan will still lead the Democ-
racy, probobly as its candidate
Therefore, the practical problem fol
the Republican party is likely to be
How to beat Bryan"
Evidently he cannot be beaten by
trying to be more radical than he is,
One is more expert htan he to trim
his sails to all the new winds of doc
trine.
Evidently he cannot be beaten by
being just as radical. He would still
be 1.-The original Jacobs and no pub
lie personality of the day is more
winning than his.
Evidently he cannot be beaten by
merely going half way with him. Re-
cent experiments on that line have
strengthened him and weakened Re-
publicanism. Furthermore, such 2
policy would not conciliate those who
wish to go all the way with him and
would ALLEVIATE those who will not go
with him at all.
What, then, remains for the Re-
publican party to do? Simply to stand
fast in its historic position-tO re-
fuse TO be stampeded into either rad
icalism or reaction-to stand fast
for the interests of all the American
people, and especially for the mae
rial welfare of the nation.
To some material prosperity may
seem a base and sordid issue. YET
no great moral question such as
slavery in 1860, or national honor in
1898, confronts us now.
Furthermore, the safety and COM
fort of the people are, after all, the
daily business of government and pol
itics, and a nation must be prosper
Gus before It can be anything else.

NERVOUS PROSPERITY
TOO MUCH FOR MANY.
Some People Seem to be Uneasy
Because the Country is
Doing Too Well.

Nervous prosperity would seem to
be the proper diagnosis of the tariff
disturbing symptoms manifested in
various parts of the country.
The country is doing too well.
Everybody is doing better than any
body ever did before in all history.
There must be something wrong
about it.
People who are accounted sane and
level headed in the ordinary affairs of
LIE are fretting and stewing about this
extraordinary prosperity. and are con-
irving how it may be upset.
If merchant should voluntarily re-
Ounce his margins of profit merely be
cause Of the conviction that he was
making too much money, or if me-
chanic were TO insist upon lower wage
because his account in the savings
bank was increasing too rapidly, some
suspicion would arise as to their men
Ial equilibrium.
Yet a great many people are contem
plating something similar to that eX-
traordinary abnegation when they lie
awake nights planning how to rip up
the tariff and check prosperity.
Ii is a queer disease and hard to
classfy.
II must be that it is nervous pros
perity.

Justly criticised since he himself as
sumed the occupancy of an office to

in the appointment of Bingham to the
office made vacant by the enforced re-
tirement of Paul c. Barth, he has
committed an offense against taste and
delicacy for which there is no hon.
orable excuse and no extenuation.
That the appointment of Mr.. Bing-
ham is for any unselfish purpose,

or for any other popular reason, is not

might have been appointed without
protest from any source, political or
otherwise. But Mr.. Bingham is,above
all things, a Beckhamite, which means
that he is by Inheritance a Goebelite,

Such A Funny BUSINESS.

The Tariff cuts off foreign trade,
says the Courier" witt pathetic
yearning for the good old days before
the process of excelsior began. 1t must
be that the wicked Tariff has that
effect, for that paper says SO flatly,
and If the figures of foreign trade
contradict it so much the worse for
the figures. For the figures do con-
tradict all who keep the eternal cry
that the Tariff cuts down foreign
trade. 1t has been the doctrine OF
Free-Traders for half century and
appeared in the last national Demo-
cratic platform but it never had a
leg of fact to stand on.
The Tariff as II stands has been in
force for ten years. In 1896 our for
eign trade amounted to total val
ue of 1852, 1881 900. In 1906 it amount
ed in value to just under $4,000, 900 900

Dawson Sensation of two Weeks
Proves a Fiasco Withoat a
Reckoning Features.

People in the town of Dawson, Hop
kins county's famous watering place
were considerably worked up about
two weeks ago over the disappearance
of a certain DR.. /. j Ezell, who halls
from Lafayette, Ky. All the gla-
mour and romance was dissipated
Tuesday morning when the supposed
dead man walked into the office of DR.
Niles IN that city about 2:30 a. M,
and asked for medical attention.
About two weeks ago DR.. Ezell dis
appeared. In the meantime w. W..
Rosson, an insurance man from Cen
trial Cisy, was arrested on suspicion
that he was connected in some man
ner vi-h the disappearance of Ezell,
he being the last person seen with
the missing doctor Rosson was held
for day or two and then released
for lack Of evidence.
AS the days passed and nothing
was heard of the missing man, the
theory gained credence that he had
been fcully dealt with, and popular
sentinel was very strong against
the suspected man. Rosson. The re-
appearance of DIR. Ezell Tuesday
morning caused a revulsion of feel
ing, and. Of course, Mr.. Rosson was
cleared from any charge whatever.
DR.. Ezcll, when he appeared az the
Office e. Dr.. Niles, was in very bad
phys,oal condition. He Informed DR..

A campaign biography of the Vice
President is made the basis of the Col
lier attack. 1t is claimed that Sena-
tor Fairbanks, then a candidate for
Vice President, promised an Indian
apolis publisher, w. B. Burford, that
a quarter of million copies of the
book would be ordered by the Repub
lican National Committee and 10000
by the State Committee. This is a
falsehood. AS such a contract, if abb
rogated would have represented a loss
TO the publisher of $4,000, it is evil
dent that it's cancellation would have
been heard of long ago, If such an
episode had occurred, and the idiocy
of the claim that a Vice Presidential
candidate would have pledged politi-
cal committees to an expenditure of
$4,000 on such an account is, of
course, evident. IL appears elsewhere
in the article that Mr.. Fairbanks, as
matter of fact, paid the first cost
of the publication. This is not an
important matter, but it is exploited
by Golfers in the effort to make the
public believe that the Vice President
is a small man.-SOuth Bend Tribune.

Millionaire Loved Poverty.

On the Island of Elba there lately
died a man named Melani, who,
though millionaire, had for money
years lived as a guest in peasants
family. He had, it seems, completely
lost his memory and had certainly
forgotten that he was so high. He
always lived as poor man, passing
his time in meditation and prayer, so
that the fishers of the island regard
ed him as saint.
M. Melani bequeathed everything
he had to his kind-hearted boasts, who
as can easily be understood. were

Loved One.

On the same train that carried Ber-
nard Wilson from Indianapolis to the
Indiana Reformatory TO serve a term
in that institution were a pretty lit
tie woman and a lovely little girl,
the latter not more than two years
old. The mother and child were clean
ly clad, but their attire indicated pow
erty.
When the passengers on the train
learned that they were the wife and
offspring of the man who was lin
charge of Deputy Sheriff in another
car, they became the center of attrac-
ton. Many inquiries were made,and
it was learned that the devoted wom-
an was leaving home, friends and
relatives in order to be near her hus-
band, who is to serve from one to
three years in the Indiana Reform
atory for petit larceny. His offense
was committed before the new law,
which makes the penalty from one
TO eight years, took effect.
Arriving in Jeffersonville Mrs. Will
son had but $3.50 in money and no.
where to sleep. She set out to search
for work, but as she was accompanied
by her little girl, she found no en-
couragement. At the cottage House,
conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Saunders, she was told she could have
permanent employment at remuner-
alive wages, but they could not take
the child.
The mother and little one were CIV
en- a good meal and place to sleep,
and yesterday steps were taken to-
ward placing the child in the Orphans
Home. If that is accomplished Mrs.
Wilson will go to work, and on the
days when relatives are permitted to
visit inmates of the Reformatory she
will see her husband.

The Punahous have issued an ulti-

continue to be played by them even
though it should cost them the cham

The Punahous believe that the trus-
tees of the league will stand back of
Desha, who is charged with having
signed for the season with the Dia-
mond Heads, and afterwards Joined
the Punahous, contrary to the rules
adopted by the league on April IL.
Desha claims that he signed with the
Diamonds prior to this time, and noti-
fed them of his change of mind a few
days after he had done so. AS the
contract is not dated it looks probable
that Desha will be backed up by the
trustees when they have time to look
into the matter.
