A Political Sensation.

CINCINNATI IIlNitiCl Nlllh'|s
The political world is in a ferment, The
leader and originator of the independence
league is also the promulgator of a sensa-
ton that is likely to have important effect
upon the result of the pending presidential
canvass of the electorate. Whatever Mr..
Hearst's speeches made by him at Column
bus and st. Louis, it is apparent now that
he has probably created an issue between
the two great parties.
While the efforts of Mr.. Bryan to draw
the republican candidate and his managers
into a definition of the issue or issues were
just beginning to draw the fire of the
enemy, It seems now that the utterances
of the New York editor may shift the
entire plan of attack and defense to a new
position. While the tariff, guaranty of
bank deposits, republican extravaganza and
other issues appeared to be sufficient upon
which to wage combat, it looks now as II
there might be a quick shift.
A demand for probity, strict integrity and
attention to the business of the people upon
the part Of public servants might serve
as an admirable platform for either or both
parties. It is not at all unlikely that Mr..
Roosevelt, with his quick perception Of OPP
portunity, may embrace the idea, while, on
the other hand, Mr.. Bryan will undoubtedly
make the most of the material thus thrown
into his hands. The campaign to date has
been remarkable for apathy and inactivity
1t may now burst from the chrysalis OF
inertia into uRwonted excitement and
activity.

railroads and their relation to the gov
eminent.
Mr.. Bryan has retracted nothing of
his assault upon the supreme court Of
the United States in 1896 when he
threatened. II elected, to pack that
body in the interests of some of his
fads. Mr.. Bryan has given no assur-
ance that, If elected, he would not
bring up every blessed n of the va
carries he urged in 1896 and in 1900
and attempt to have them enacted into
legislation. Those who are support
ing Mr.. Bryan on the theory that he
has grown conservative are deluding
themselves. He is the same Bryan,
with the same wavering temperament
and the same unstable methods Of
thought and reasoning on the great is
sues of the day that have characterized
his entire public career.

The Hearst Campaign.

Cincinnati Times-Starr CrepO.
Mr.. Hearst last week lifted the campaign
of his Independent party from its low leveI
of flatness and mediocrity. The methods
used were typical. Letters and affidavits
some of them Of a decidedly surprising
character. were trotted out in great pro-
fusion. On the republican side Senator
Foraker was the object of attack. Among
the democrats Mr.. Bryan, Governor Has
kell. the treasurer of Bryan's campaign,
and, incidentally, Senator Bailey were dealt
with. 1t was a heculean effort, and as a
result OF it the independence party will moi
die Of anaemia or ennui for a little while
yet, at least.
Without any desire in the world to treat
a really serious subject with undue levityi
we cannot refrain from quoting a Kipline
poem in which the character and exploits
OF one Fuzzy Wuzzy'' are dwelt upon al
some length. 1t makes us think a little of
Willie Hearst in the present juncture of his
remarkable and not altogether edifyins
career:
An before we know 'e's 'ackin' at our cad;
On before we know 'e's ackin' at our 'eads
'E's all 'ot sand and ginger when alive,
An 'e's generally when 'e's dead.
Els a daisy. els a ducky, es a lamb.
Els an Injia rubber idiot on the spree:
Els the on'y thing that doesn't give q
d-n
For a regiment Of British infantree, D.
Mr.. Hearst, so far as we know, has never
broken a British square; the words daisy, u
''ducky'' and lamb do not describe him
as accurately as some others we might
mention. But the rest of the stanza is
more or less to the point. Willie is not alto
gether p nice character. In fact, we have
made serious objection to his ideals-if he
has any-and his methods more than once
in the past, and we are not thinking of
apologizing for II.
Undoubtedly the independence party,
seemingly half dead a couple of weeks ago,
Is stronger than It was under the stimulus
of the tremendous amount of advertise
ment that the events of the last few days
have given.

THE FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS,

All Americans can endorse enthusi-
astically the platform being framed by
the tuberculosis congress, now in SEES
sion at Washington, providing for a
nationwide campaign against the
white plague. The worlds most emil
nent physicians are participating in the
congress and offering the assurance
that medical science will triumph over
the white plague, just as 1t has tri-
umphed over the red plague and the
black plague, as soon as the people
are educated to the point of lending
their cooperation by the observance of
common sanitary laws and the adop-
tion of ordinary precautions against
the spread of the disease, which causes
the death of 100, 900 Americans every
year and marks another 100, 600 for
years of illness and incapacity.
Physicians are generally agreed that
the great need is for education of the
people. 1t is proposed to have all HUI
man organizations-fraternal organic
atoms, charitable organizations, legis-
lative bodies. commercial clubs, minis
terial organizations, women's clubs and
the public schools unite in spreading
the information designed to prevent
consumption by removing its causes. 1t
is now generally admitted that tuber-
culosis is not a mysterious and neces-
sarily fatal hereditary disease, but is
an infectious germ disease that can be
best prevented or cured by open air,
cleanliness and proper feeding. This
paves the way for vigorous work
against the plague, a work which
should command the services of all in
telligent persons.

in the Elysian fields. He was reading the

New York democratic platform is best

"Oh, yes, the Nebraska Jefferson, heb,
heh."
Mr.. Bryan's election will restore the
administration of federal government to
the ideas of the fathers'-"
''To the ideas OF their grandmothers!'
cried Mr.. jefferson Indignantly. This
is the man who wants the federal govern
ment to be a dry nurse OF bank deposits,
to be the overseer of businesses of a GER
tain amount, fixed arbitrarily at % per
cent to coddle workmen by means of a
cabinet officer minding their business and
to make this same meddling oyeTgrown
government own those steam wagons that
go so much faster and make so much more
trouble than the good old coaches Of our
days. The people are best governed who
are most governed, that seems to be Mr..
Bryan's axiom. Ideas of the fathers! What
is that damned little federalist grinnine
at?"

His petty tyrannies at Fort Barancas
