A Splendid Defense of Bryan.

IA SPAoAuAu Do1ouS0 OF Bryan.
The St. Cloud Times republishes an
article from one of the chief monopo.
listic organs of the east which speaks
of Bryan as ''body of death'
chained to the democratic party. No
man in the history of American poll.
tics, not even Jackson or Jefferson,
has been as much traduced and ma.
ligned as Bryan, and this cheap
insult is small matter. The classes
who hated Jefferson for his ideas on
equality of opportunity, who despised
Jackson because of his independence
of the money sharks, in this age have
a horror and hatred of the man
from Nebraska. Without single ex.
ception, the organs of plutocracy, who
always assume to know what is best
for the dear people, are abusing
Bryan in all the various ways which
malice can inspire and hatred indj.
cate. But the common people arc
with him, and they are still in a
majority. Little Falls Herald.

1t appears from recent DEVELOPMENTS
that the bureau of corporations is a
slow-going institution. It has lust
seen tit to reply to the objection ad-
vanced several months ago by James
A. Moffatt, president of the Standard
Oil company Of Indiana, that the fine
of s29, $780, 900 imposed upon his cor.
poration was not justified. Commits.
sioner Knox now makes answer to the
objection by emphatically asserting
that the fine imposed by Judge Lands
was justified. This will probably
settle the controversy and the Stan.
dard Oil company will pay the fine
when it feels so inclined, but it's in.
clination is not liable to run in that
direction this side of the millennium.

were guilty of completely in the MUIR
der of ex-Gov. Steunenberg, have an
other guess coming. Haywood and
Pettibone have been acquitted after
fair and impartial trials, and Meyer
has been discharged on motion of
prosecuting attorney. The only wit
ness against these three men was the
brutal self-confessed murderer and
perjured scoundrel, Harry Orchard.
These three men have been bounded
and unjustly prosecuted by hirelings

ties of Colorado and Idaho,, even
President Roosevelt presumed they
were guilty and termed them "unde-

accused men by organized labor they

Experiments made by DR.. Alexis
Carrel of the Rockefeller institute for
medical research, New York, have
demonstrated that it is possible to
transplant the vital organ of one liv-
ing animal to another and that these
organs will continue to perform their
natural functions. And the learned
surgeon believes that within a short
time the successful transplanting of
the vital organs of animals to human
beings will be successfully accom-
plished. There are many men who
would benefit from an exchange of
their vital organs with animals. For
instance there's the fellow with a
heart the size of mustard seed. He
could exchange with the OK. And as
to brains, thousands would be bene-
flied by acquiring those of the jackass.
