MI. Bryan on Conspiracies.

In his jefferson banquet speech at Des
Moines Mr.. Bryan said:
The republicans have just begun to find
that there is a great conspiracy in their
party. We have known it for months We
had the same conspiracy in 1896. 1t Is the
corporate element that controls the party,
and after our experience | SympathiZe with
the republicans. They have their own
corporate adherents and they have all ours
tOo-thOsc that left in 1896. They Will not
come back to us: they ought not to: our
party will be weaker If they do But they
are all heried in the republican party now
and will not come back.
Mr.. Bryan makes a great mistake in liken
ing the Hartman people in the republican
party. who are trying to force a reaction
airy platform and candidate for next lear.
to those democrats who bolted his nominal
ton in 1856 and assisted in the election of
Mr. Mckinley. The Hartman people are
playing for personal ends-their own ends.
Their object is to break down the policy of
government regulation of railroad rates.
and make the railroads supreme again.
The anti-Bryan democrats of 1896 had the
national credit in view. They rejected their
party's action because they thought l. in
imical to the general welfare. 1t a
revolt not of corporations. having corpora
ton ends In view, but of individuals. with
such a practical knowledge of finance as
induced them to turn from their party for
what they conceived to be the country's
sake.
Mr.. Bryan says these democrats are stlll
in the republican party, and he hopes they
will remain there. On the contrary, many
of them have returned to their old affilia
tons and supported him in his second race.
not because of having changed their views
about silver. but because o. a conviction
that the danger of free coinage disappeared
with his defeat in the first race. And they
will be among his supporters next year if
he again carries the partys standard.
Mr.. BRYAN would have been nearer the
mark if he had gone back to 1892 for a sug-
gestion. In that year there were New York
corporations which assisted In the nominal
ton of both candidates. They had faith in
Gen. Harrison's financial views. and helped
fight his enemies in his party. and having
equal faith in Mr. Cleveland's financial
views they assisted in revivng his leader
ship After the two nominations had been
made the great New York money interests
put aside their anxieties and awaited the
result with perfect composure so far as the
money question was concerned. For they
we'll knew that under neither man would
free coinage be possible.
What the trusts and the railroads desire
now is the nomination next year of two
men under either of whom reaction would
be assisted. They want nobody nominated
by the republicans who will carry forward
the Roosevelt policies. while Mr.. Bryan is
of all democrats the most objectionable to
them. 1t is not question OF politics. but
of the purse-the corporation purse. F. H.
Hartman has no more politics than Jay
Gould had. Let him combine railroad prop
critics and make railroad rates. and he
cares not who hold the Offices

philosophical Yesterday started out in
gloomy style with gray skies and chill

everything seemed sprfngiike. People who

Such Is the new Fullam doctrine. and 1t
must be appraised sensible move IN
the direction of international harmony.
After every one of these coast town bonn
bardments in the course Of revolutions or
Interstate wars claims have been filed oy
property owners of other nationalfties that
have dragged through years OF negotiation
and more years of liquidation. Assuredly
the short cut to peace is to prevent war.
anS similarly the short cut to a settlement
Is to avoid the cause of dispute. The United
States in this matter is unquestionably the
proper source of such authority as is here
declared. It's own interests are heaviest in
any International outcome of 4 revolution

as guarantor to European property owners
in the menaced cities inasmuch as it will
not allow their governments 10 take terri
tory in punishment for failure 10 indemnify

OF course in practical application the
Fullam doctrine means that the coast towns
of the Central American region will be vir-

More Train Wrecking.

notwithstanding the announcement yes
terday morning that the on1cers Oh 'he
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company are deter
mined to break up the train wrecking gang
Offering large rewards for detection Oh the
men and employing large forces OF suaras'
the efforts to derail trains continue. With
in thirty hours two such attempts were re-
ported At Brady's Bend, Pa. Tie was
fastened to the track. The express would
doubtless have been ditched with heavy
loss of life had not a farmer Tagged the
engineer. who was enabled to check MS
train, although the engine struck the Cd
struction and left the rails. In this case
three men were arrested. At Alliance
Ohio, a switch was turned in front OF
fast freight. The engineer checked speed.
but he, too, was ditched. though without
serious damage. The wrecker was seen 10
run away, but was not caught.
These two efforts bring the list of recent
enterprises of the same sort up to eight IN
number The wreckers have in four cases
removed fshplates and bolts from the track
This method indicates that they are famil-
lar with railroad construction. The sus-
picion Ia entertained that they are DIS

ritory, this fact suggesting that there IS
large gang or else that the same men steal
rides from point to point
The Pennsylvania statute applicable TO
this crime provides for the death penalty
ONLY when lives are lost. The same argu-
ment APPLIES to train-wrecking that has
been often advanced to justify the punish
ment with death of all attempts to burg
lary. on the ground that the housebreaker
by night is a potential murderer, who will
kill II possible upon molestation. Inc man
who removes a fishplate or rolls rock on
the track or binds a tie to the rails Is
aiming at the lives Of the passengers and
the crews on the approaching train. In only
one of the eight cases reported from the
Pennsylvania lines was life lost. the en-
gineer being killed in the wreck of the
keystone express, near Wilmerding, on the
9th of March Nevertheless. there was
murder in the hearts Of the members or
this gang in every instance. and they
should il captured, be treated on the same
plane and subjected to the same penalty.
With the great machinery of the Pennsyl-
yania organization at work and with the
press and the public helping in response to
the appeal of the corporation just issued. 1t
Is to be expected that some Of the wrecking
gang will eventually be caught. 1t Is, in
deed imperative that this murder con-
spiracy be exposed and thwarted unless the
travelling public of the east is to be thrown
into a panic of apprehension.

Uses of the ultimate"
From the New York Tribune.

In trying to meet the criticism or demo-
cratic conservatives like Senator Isidor
Rayner, Representative John Sharp Will
Jams and Henry NJ Whitney, that his rail
road policy is too advanced and too revo-
lutionary, Mr.. Bryan shows a disposition to
draw distinctions between what is immi-
nent and what Is merely ultimate" He
finds world of saving grace in the adjec-
tive with which he has qualified his some
what bald and disconcertng program of
government ownership" That ownership
is to be ultimate" like the reign of peace,
the perfectibility of man and the realization
of the millennium. Mr.. Bryan holds that
conservative" democratS-eSpecially demo-
Gratis who were old enough to vote against
him in 1896 and lGU-need not harrow their
souls over the betrayal of Jeffersonian prin-
ciple which they think involved in the ma
tionalization of all the instrumentalties OF
interstate transportation and commerce.
They will probably be dead as long as JET
ferson before the -penultimate and
penultimate stages in the journey toward
government ownership have been travelled

When the newspapers of Butte. Mont,

account of labor troubles last month the
withdrawal of advertising opportunity all
but killed business. Deprived Of the aid OF
newspaper space in exploiting their wares,
the local merchants resorted to handbiils
and circulars, the most liberal use Of which
failed to revive trade. 1t was a most i'm
pressive object lesson on the value of news
paper publicity. Advertising becomes pos
