The train was a special. bearing non.

guard of soldiers and deputies On the
outskirts Of the town the engineer sud
denly saw a log across the track, and
at once a fusillade was fired into the
train. The engineer did not stop. but
let the cow-catcher throw the log from
the track and put on fun speed The
place where the attack was made was
in a cut. the ground being on a level
with the lower part Of the windows.
The assailants behind the rocks above
poured down a murderous fire directly
into the windows and at the engineer.
Practically every window in the train
was broken. and shots struck all parts
of the engine and cab. The train pro-
ceeded to Blocton and the dead and in.

The Anti-Bryan Habit.

indianapolis News Ind't The tone of the COM
ment in leading papers in Boston and New York
the Denver convention is notable in thls-lts
similarity to identity with the tone of eight years
ago. 1t is not discoverabe that any of these papers
has examined the conditions and differences which
make the Bryan nomination of 1908 unlike that of
1900 The comment might be verbatim that of eight
year ago. barring changes to make the present date
fit The point of the observation is that the east-f
these papers speak for it-has learned nothing. The
name Bryan is sufficient What has happened since
Roosevelt to the presidency has altered nothing
so far as Bryan is concerned. That the double
standard is dropped; that fierce onslaught on the
tariff has given way to reasonable and sound OBJ
lection; that government ownership is abandoned;
that only Roosevetian regulation is proposed; that
the Denver platform has taken sound ground on
many public questions and speaks individually the
convictions of millions of Amercans-is not
amned The tone of the comment, or rather the
comment, is precisely the same-as if one had learned
a certain something to speak on hearing certain
name and forthwith speaks it.
We note this to say that it indicates bourbonish
attitude that is not wise in this country for the
matter of that at this time of the twentieth CEN
fury, in any country. 1t is as if the comment OF
England of the days of hatred of Russia, suspicion
of France and beliefs in Parnel and Gladstone home
rule should be hurled at the politics of today, which
is absorbing itself with a French entente and
Russian understanding abroad and a protectionist
policy and an old-age pension scheme at home. We
are not holding a brief for Mr. Bryan. We
simply saying that the wise papers of the east have
failed to discover that 1908 is not 19OO that any
thing has happened to and with the American peo
pie during these eight years. great thing has
happened in that time. We do not refer to the
many almost revolutionary things that have hap
pened in the world of politics since then-thngs
done and the altered view that has followed the
doing of them. They sufficiently Marked one
would think, albeit they not marked enough to
affect these public annotators. But greater thing
this has happened namely, the people of this country
are capable of judging the public questions and de-
Gliding for themselves as never before.
There has been political education in these recent
years in this country to which the world affords
parallel The expression of popular rights has given
it exercise. The people have found for themselves
and ought to have shown for all men-that they
are to be trusted They have proved that they are
not anarchstic because they resent the unequal dis
tribution of burdens and benefits, and that they
regulate" and not coniscate. But to all this the
wise of the east to be blind. Mr. Taft
and the Wa-Street understanding may prevail.
But any attitude of mind that looks this country
in this year of grace 1908 being the same that it
was four years ago is fixing for itself great
