THE JBFFERSONIAN.

Democratic party has given us some stunning
blows but we are up and at them again and
still calling for the Peoples rights and every
blow from them has been a boomerang and
today the Democratic party is as dead as
Hector Who killed it? They did. Cleveland
struck it heavy blow and just few so-called
Democrats who nominated Parker gave it
another blow Ever since Parker's defeat Mr..
Bryan has had a dagger in his jugular vein;
and at the Democratic Convention Bryan got
enough so-called Democrats to help him pierce
its heart with the dagger. Bryan will not get
as many votes as Parker did in 1904. The
Democratic party is dead! dead! dead

Ny dear Mr.. Watson AS the twin brothers,
the Democratic and Republican parties have
each met in Convention and naminated their
FBills' for President, and being so much
alike in principles of course they both had to
have Chip for their nominee; this being
the case we need not look for any fight be-
tween the two old parties but there may be
little pickering and lack Of harmony OCCASION
ally when either happens to get in the
way Of the money power. Bryan having given
up all Democratic principles but a mere out
side skin, it being so thin that a, blind man
can see through it-Taft and Bryan travelling
the same road, going In the same direction,
hands tied and their mouths sealed by the
money power, where will the rank and file
Of the Democratic and Republican parties be
found in this falls election? They will be
found voting the Populist Ticket.

years, have Travelled a good deal over Texas
and Oklahoma and also the Territories. |
have been with all classes and have talked
politics good deal and I am astonished to
learn that the farmers and the laboring classes
Of both the Democratic and Republican parties
going to vote the Populist ticket this fall,
they have so expressed themselves openly and
have seen the light.
Never in the history Of Populism have we
had better chance to win than we have now
Bryan having thrown all his Democratic
principles to the laWless money power Taft
or the Republican party has lost its grip on
account Of its Tariff views, and the money
panic coming during their administration gives
the Populist party an unprecedented oppor-
tunity.
Now brother Populists and reformers we
cannot afford to rest on our oars or to go to
sleep because we feel cheerful over the bright
prospects, and leave all the work for Mr..
Watson and Mr.. Williams to do. While they
shoot the big guns We can shoot the smaller
caliber and bring the recruits Let every one
who believes in the Populist reform for which
we stand go to work with a vim not only in
Georgia but everywhere and form Watson
and Williams clubs and work as if the whole
fight depended on you and you alone Let
each one take a tour in his community every
week as a missionary worker and see every
individual voter and see how many we can
get to help with this mighty work of reform.
While We are working don It fail to speak a
word for the Weekly Jeffersonian and
Magazine remembering that every new sub
scrlber means another vote for our party and
cause and if every Populist can secure new
vote with the volunteers that are coming in
we can carry the election

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga
Dear Sir: Your Mexican Outbreak is
not quite correct. I am just from trip to
that country. The people are getting better
wages and living better than they ever did and
their condition is constantly improving. There
probably is truth in that they can vote the
government ticket or stay at home, and be-
ieve that, present conditions considered, it is
for the best The government is just to all
persons Railroads are in nearly every portion
of the country and others are building.
Schools are building up and there is material
progress everywhere. The people believe in
Diaz and want him and want his policy con-
tinued, and it will be. Revolutions may be
started, but they WILL and ought to, fail, just
as the present fasco has. At least genera
ton of peace is assured for Mexico, and let us
hope for all time.
There is much disaffection in the Dem
ocratic party here. A number Of men openly
say they are for Taft who have heretofore al
ways voted the Democratic ticket straight. A
few will vote for the Socialists, and some
Populists, if there are electors TO vote for;
otherwise they will vote the Independence
League ticket.
Twelve years Of Republicanism has not Civ
en- the workers homes or prosperity and the
laborer is always face to face with starvation.
Most all Of them are in debt and they count
it doing we'll when they have enough to pay
their crop mortgage and winter themselves
and families.
The panic has pinched the most Of them.
There are plenty Of men who know the cause
and would break off but we have no money
to pay the fees charged to put candidates on
the official ballot and hence we are cut out.
If we had money we could put speakers in
the field and get big vote for the national
ticket.
He that is for us is not against U.s. Hence
| think your war on Hearst is bad politics.
This battle is to determine which of us is
to survive, the Populists or the League.
Their objects are the same.
The change is coming, and it will come sud
denly as in New Zealand, We could conf

How many farmers or laboring people were

How many farmers or laboring people that

REACTION IN PERSIA.

stirution and parliament for Persia when were

he WAS diligently seeking pretext for preclseIy
such a course That pretext has now oeeh
found or made The Shah gravely declares

nIe" have Informed him that they do not
want q constitution and therefore he DEGREES
that lin the future under no prete1t snail
rarIiament he established" He also adds that
the establishment of a constitution Would coh

able that the Shah could, if he wished, secure d
Gathering of those whom he might call repre-
seutatives of the people and who WOULD assure
hin, that they wanted their taxes doubled or
that they believed the moon 10 be made OF green
cheese. Also. he could get members Of the
clergy 10 declare that the multiplication table

uretences would be only little more prepos-
tarous than those which are now made as

Ionr11age free from all ambiguity, that De hau

On the Shah's failure TO act upon that ADVICE
the Russian Minister left Teheran and re
turned 10 St Petersburg TO report personally
TO his government the state Of affairs In Per

two great powers which are chiefly, II not
solely interested in Persia Will strongly disap-
Drove the Shahs action. AS for Persia herself
the country is in a state OF civil war from
Ararat 10 the Strait of OrmuZ. Sata Khan Is
not only successfully holding his ground at
Tabriz against the Shah's forces, but is actually
extending his authority throughout the whole
province of AZerbaijan, and he recently declared
that IL the Shah did not re-esta blsh the consti
tuition and convoke parliament that province
would probably proclaim It's Independence We
need not be surprised al the fulilment OF that
threat In the near future.
The outlook Is, therefore. for troublous times

result In dynastic changes or even in partition

CAMPAIGN FUND PUBLICITY.

The publication Of the list Of contributors to
the Taft campaign fund makes an END OF
Bryan's issue of ante election publicity. There
is nothing in the list which could have aroused
suspicion provoked legitimate discussion or
have changed the vote Of any reasonable man
If the contributors and the amount Of their con-
tributions had been known In advance. The
Republican treasurer had nothing 20 hide, and
there was nothing in Mr.. Bryan's demand for
publicity before Election Day but party tactics.
He wished to deter contributors to the Repub-
lican fund by the prospect that he would make
them and their motives the object OF an acri-
monious attack.
Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan would have impugned
the motives of many of the giyers TO the TafC
fund who are now revealed If he had had
their names In time and without SHADOW OF
excuse Except for a single contribution, from
q member of the candidates family, not one or
the contributions is very large No one would
seriously suggest now that the heat of the cam
paign has subsidized, that any of these conribu-
lions could be the result Of any such improper
understanding as used to be charged IN the
dsys of secret campaign funds. Immunity,
special privilege" or governmental favor
could not be bought for the amount Of any
contribution on the list. The contributors are
all individuals or In one or two instances, nrms
or clubs There are no corporation contrlDu-
TONS and. taking the Democratic HSL WIFI Lhe
Republican list 1T is apparent that the oId'
vicious system of business contributions to both
parties for the purpose of having friend at
court in any event, has been ended by publicity.
All that the list shows is that the business men
of the country, those who were deeply inter
ested in stable conditions, generally favored
Mr. Tafts election and gave in support OF his
campaign Mr. Bryan knew that they were
doing this and that he had no hope of aid from
such sources, and It was TO deter them that ne
aimed to have publicity in advance. Nothing
is likely to be heard of his issue in future cam
pagns.
The system OF publicity is a great improve
ment over the old method of secrecy, which
gave rise to charges and insinuations that could

funds are smaller, that is gain too; Tor the
Taft fund, judged by results. was aInpie. =

ton, excepting TO establish new industry or to
ascertain whether or not 1t could be established,
while he would cheerfully impose the highest
possible duty-far more than could be needed
for protection-for the sake of revenue only.
Such views certainly do not commend themselves

ATTACKS ON VESTED RIGHTS.

One Of the misfortuHes of 6 complex civiza-
ton is its tendency to deprive US Of what we
NAV be inclined to regard as cOnstitutiOnally
guaranteed and inaiienabe rights, though, as a
general rule, so long as the limitation doesn't
interfere with their own actions people are able
to take 8 cheerful view of the necessity of sacri-
ficing the few for the good of the many Since
the first horsecar crept laZily UP the streets OF
Manhattan Island no one has denied the right
of woman to get off car backward. No one
has ever questioned the fact that she knows
better and that it is her natural contrarneSs
which leads her to prepare for a damage suit
against a soulless corporation by getting off the
wrong way but the idea of cure had not been
seriously entertained. Now, however, the Board
of Education Of the Wisconsin metropolis pro-
noses 10 introduce into the high school course
of instruction IN the gentle art Of how not to
get off a streetcar But what, echo, is the
use of adding to an already overburdened high

teach her otherwise are failures

displeasure on the umpire who gives decision
which he does not Ike. Some day, perhaps, the
audience in an American theatre will be able TO
appreciate the incongruity of calling lately de
ceased actor before the curtain for q speech.
But we are not prepared TO hold out any encOur-
agement to those who would infringe upon the
dearest prerogative of Woman-tO get off a car

temporary embargo placed on the Buffalo
stockyards, to which some of the cases had been
traced. y careful search was instituted for ami
mails which had been attacked. Those in which
the disorder had reached an advanced stage
were killed. Those which had merely come
under suspicion were isolated where they could

was established. So well directed were these
measures for the protection of healthy livestock
that there is reason TO hope that they viii prove

In the mean time II may be noted that the
ease with which the foot and mouth disease is
