THE LAPORTE CRIMINAL.

Human Imagination in it's widest
flight can hardly conceive OF the hor-
ror, the fiendishness, the brutality OF
she murdress at Laporte, Ind. The
Guinness woman must be lower than
any known brute; her crimes pass
the bounds OF belief; they seem hard
ly possible. She would lure unsus-
pecting fools within her clutches. and
Tor the insatiate and inordinate love
OF money, murder them. Her farm
oil mysteries was a veritable death
trap. After brutally and hendishIy
numbering her innocent victims, she
buried them under the very shadow
OF her home. The Cannibals OF the
South Sea Islands, the savage Hot
entots, would turn aghast at her
brutality; every instinct of human
nature revolts at her crime. She is
beyond the pale Of all law. II she
has not already persisted in the
flames OF her burned house, about
which there seems to be some doubt
and is caught, she should be sum.

AGAINST INSTRUCTIONS.


An Indication of the drift OF senti-
ment In the South may be found in
the fact that nearly every prominent
U. s. Senator from that part of the
country, including Senator'S Martin,
Daniel, Taliaferro, Tillman, Bank
head, johnson and a score of others.
are opposed, from a standpoint of
policy, to sending instructed delega-
lions to the Denver convention.
These men perhaps know the situa-
ton within the Democratic party as
vel, and perhaps better, than any
other class OF citizens to be found in
the South, and they doubtless realize
the folly OF binding the Southern del
egations to the Bryan chariot, when
there Is not one chance in "a hundred
OF it's occupant winning the Presi-
dency.
This newspaper has no quarrel with
Mr.. Bryan. AS has been constantly
said and re-said in these columns,
Mr.. Bryan, in our opinion, is "a man
OF stainless character, of pure pa
triotism and unimpeachable integri-
~, but he is an unsuccessful and de-
feated candidate OF two political
campaigns, and has no earthly
chance to win in a third one. Onthe
other hand, there is Gov. johnson.
whose character Is just as stainless:
whose record in public life is mar
vel to the country, and who is a live,
militant Democrat; the Governor of
a great Republican State, made Dem
ocratic through his wonderful per-
sonality. Think what vitality he
would bring Into the campaign. Re
member that he can, in all probabil-
ity, carry Minnesota for his party,
and that Mr.. Bryan will, In all prob
ability, lose Nebraska 30 the Repub-
licans.
Let the Bryan people in this State,
or elsewhere, point out the hope of
winning the fight with Bryan; Les
them point, II they can, to one East
srn State which he can carry. They |
are so carried away by their enthusi-
asm for Mr.. Bryan that they fail to
take into consideration the almost
fact that he cant win.
There is yet time to avoid blunder.

done before, against Virginia being a
party thereto-if it must be COM

ELECTIONS

Itwas very devoutly hoped when
the present Constitution was being
formulated that the number OF our
elections would be decreased. There
was a very great hue and cry against
the frequency OF elections. There is
no doubt about the fact that cleo
lions disturb business conditions,
and otherwise bring trouble. In
this city we have Just gone through
q local option election. In June we
win have another for mayor and
councilmen and in the fall for
president, congressman and police
justice. All this is to be deplored.
However, our advice is for our citi
zens and voters to keep cool and do
their duty as they see it.

A Wife in BONDAGE.

Tit-Bits: He was that rare and great
ly-to-Se-admired person. a real live
duke, and he holds sway over many
workers. To give him his due, he is
a good master. and for the most part
his kindness is greatly appreciated by
his retainers.
But Bob Willet is a laborer with DEM
ocratic proclivities and marked distaste
for work, n recently his ducal master
determined that one, thing to do with
Bob was to dismiss him.. Whereupon
he did SO, n Bob came to the conclu-
sion that the time had now arrived
when the pride OF the peeraga should
be humbled. The difficulty was to think
of something sufficiently biting, for the
duke was a good master, as has been
remarked. Then ar inspiration flashed
on Bob. The dukes duchess had been
appointed a lady-in-waiting t the
queen. and this was Bob's opportu. lily.
"Ail right, yer grace" he said, "IIl-
go. But I'll take heart to a this.
Though I'm a poor man. I've never had
to send my missus out to service, and
that's mors'n some people can say"
