DENOUNCES THE NEWSPAPERS.
Senator Jeff Davis Must Have Exhausted
His Vocabulary This Load.

One day last week in the
United States Senate Jeff Davis
delivered characteristic speech
on trusts and combines, during
the course Of which he made
these few remarks about one Of
his favorite subjects, the news
papers:
"Let the scavengers of plutoc-
racy howl. Truth, Gods loving
truth, whore are it's defenders9
Miserable travesties upon noble
manhood, post graduates in all
the arts of slander and defam-
alton, | challenge the subsidized
press. The people know your
designs and spurn your pretense,
whether under the show Of argu-
ment or more servient hypocri-
cies.
"Go, damnable imps Of pelf and
greed; | defy your taunts.
"Tear TO fragments my po-
litical career II 1t comport with
your execrable will. Stiflo and
distort my every utteranco.
"Not satisfied if such be your
brutal frenzy, lash my poor form
into insensibility.
"Then II II be your further
pleasure gnaw from my stiffenlng
bones every vestige Of euivering
flesh.
"Howl in wretched beastiality
though my own innocent blood
drops from your fiendish visages,
"Drag, then, IL you want, what
remains into tho filth and vermin
Of your foul dens and burn II
upon the altar Of Baal or scatter
1t before the friendly winds Of
heaven to your betters, the oarri.
on crows Of the field.
"All that they may do, all and
more, II there yet be open u
further depth Of inlamy TO the
polluted, besotted press.

Mr.. BRyAN'S REPLY.
Makes Pointed Reply To Question Con-
cernlng The Southern Negro.

After q speech In New York
City recently, Mr.. Bryan was
interrupted by one Of the audi
enee, who asked him the follow
ing question; 'Is the Demo-
cratic policy Of DISTINGUISHING the
negro in the South In accord with
the spirit Of brotherhood Of which
you have been speaking9" As
quick as lightning Bryan replied,
"The white men of the South put
a qualification on negro suffrage
In self defense. There 10 not q
community in the North that
would not put a similar qualiii-
cation under the same oiroum-
stances. Tho white man In
neither the North nor the South
will permit q few men TO take
the solid black vote and use 1t for
the making Of money, regardless
Of the interests Of the community,
as was done by the carpet bagger
Ia the South"

Dc q Corker.

The man who cannot carry into
his place Of business some ele-
ment Of hopefulness had better
take a days vacation by visiting
some unfortunates worse off than
himself and then go back to his
work feeling that he has reason
to DO ashamed Of himself. Do
not bo d sinker, but its worth tho
powder If only you DO q eorker.
In nine oasos out Of ton, when
"tho times are out Of joint" it's
you, mainly, that IL "out of
joint" You need a straight out
talking to, by somebody who Ia
largo.hoarlod enough 10 love you
with all your faults, and eourage-
Gus enough to fire the truth at
you,-Exehange.

A Young Hero.

A monument Is to be erected
In Nashville, Tenn, to tho men,
ory Of Sam Davis, the young
hero who was executed during
tho war between the states, upon
a charge Of being Confederate
spy. Davis case was exceed
ingly pathetic. He was not more
than Is or 10 years Of age, brave,
handsome and full Of zeal for the
cause Of his country. His sacri.
flee was demanded by the mex
orable rules Of war, but such was
his bearing throughout his trial
and upon tho scaffold that he
won tho sympathy Of his captors,
and they would gladly have
spared his life Il the laws had not
demanded that II be taken. 1T,

Who shall be the four delegates
at large to the Democratic natl
|onal convention at Denver is one
of the most interesting things to
be settled by the Democratic
state convention, which meets at
Little Rock early in June. 1t has
heretofore been the custom that
1.-THE two United States Senators
should be a part Of these four
delegates, but there is a dispo-
sition at this time to leave Sena-
Itor Davis off the delegation. 1t
lis believed by many that Sena-
|tor Clarke, Hon. Geo. W. Don
|aghey and Acting Governor Pin
|dall will be three of the four, but
lit is conceded that there will be
Ia fight over the last place by the
Friends of Senator Davis and
those who would like to see his
place filled by some other Demo-
|crat.

When Jeff Davis delivered his
speech in the Unitsd States Sem

Senator Clarke Of Arkansas and
Senator Owen OF Oklahoma,

Warren and Long, Republicans.
This reception Is not very flatter-
