"In most any other place" re-
marked Fatty, "the contractors erect
fifteen or twenty story building
without making half the litter and
with none of the unsightly spiles of
broken lumber, brickbats. mortar beds
and the usual display with which Hat
tiesburg is afflicted. And the reason
they can do so is simple one-they
have to! II they don't remove the
rubbish as it comes from the building
and If they do block up the streets
and alleys, they are jailed, tried and
a great, big, juicy fine is piastered
all over them-and you bet your life
they are never caught again"

grow worse and worse until something
appalling happens. Aside from health

In connection with the recent revela-

MIR. BRYAN.s VISIT.

To-day the citizens of Richmond and
visitors will lave the opportunity to
hear a public address from man who
has twice been the nominee Of the
democratic party for the presidency,
and who. In all human probability will
again be the nominee in 1905.
Mr.. Bryan is by no means the choice
of all members of tho Democratic
party. and there is pronounced oppo-
sltion to nominating him for n third
time. Efforts have been made here
and there by these opponents to stem
the tide OF popular sentiment in his
favor, but without visible effect upon
the masses. The proposal to nominate
4 Southern man has met with scant
favor, even in the South, and the at
kempts to boom Gray, of Delaware.
Chanler, of New York, and others
have received no serious consideration
IL. the country at large. In all these
sporadic efforts there has been no def
mite, organized movement against Mr..
Frc n. No other name has been mem
toned that has aroused the people at
lrrge, and Mr.. Bryan stands conspicu-
cus,y alone as the first choice OF the
great majority. He has many oppo-
nents, but he has no rival
These statements from a newspaper
waicn is reckoned among the most pro-
ncunced of Mr.. Bryan's opponents may

some to be out of place, but it is not
the habit of The Times-Dispatch tc
shut its eyes to a patent fact Mr.
Bryan has but recently completed fly
ing trip through Kentucky, during
which he made eight speeches and
spoke to $1,000 people. All along the
route men gathered at the railway
stations to see and to cheer him, anc
of 5000.
There will be a great throns of mel
and women at the Fair Grounds to-da,
to listen TO his address, and thegreet
ing which 1ae>will receive will so L
3 show tha:- Ii. is as popular in Viz
ginia as he is III Kentucky.
Nothing but protest from himsel
can prevent his nomination next year
and the fact that he Is going in an,
out among the people and maxim,
speeches upon national issues is con
elusive that Mr.. Bryan Is willing to re
&ceive the honor. He has already sale
we believe. that he will be a candi
date before the convention If the pco
pie show that they want him, and h
is now feeling the popular pulse. U
10 this time. he certainly has no rca
son to be discouraged.
In view OF these circumstances.
S3 will naturally occur to Mr.. Bryan thu
utterances, and that he should propos
no policy or issue which he 9 not vii
ing 10 see Incorporated in the nes
national Democratic platform. More
over. he will show wisdom as a lead,
II from this time forth he will e,
deavor 10 harmonize all conflicting elk
( ,nents within the party ranks.
The Times-Dispatch can see no rcs
son why the convention of 1905 ina
not make Il platform upon which u
Democrats can comfortably stand FRO
our point of view there are to-day i
irreconcilable differences among u
democrats of tho nation.
