A REPUBLICAN ESTIMATE.

The coming campaign will disclose
a great change in the character Of the
opposition to Mr.. Bryan. In 1896 he
was opposed not only by the monied
interests in the Democratic party, but
also by very large element of the
Democratic party who distrusted him
personally. Men were led to be-
lieve that he was an unsafe man. To-
day there is no personal opposition to
Mr.. Bryan. Even Republicans are ex-
tolling his character as q man. The
following from the Philadelphia North
American is a Republican estimate:
William Jennings Bryan, Of Lincoln,
Nebraska, may never be President of
the United States, and again he may
be. Time alone can tell, and we can't
make time give advance information.
But whether he is ever President, OF
fills Office of any sort, he Is our most
remarkable private citizen, and his
political record is without a parallel
in the history of our nation. Aside
from it's partisan features and it's pub
lie Significance it has moral mean
ing which should be deep planted in
the mind of his fellow countrymen
young and old. so that the number of
his kind may be increased.
William Jennings Bryan is shin
ing exemplar of the success that lies
in defeat From the time that he
used to debate with the other students
of the Illinois college to the present
day. he has known every form Of public
defeat from the smallest to the great
est. and as if to doubly test him, he
was twice subjected to the greatest
When he went out to Lincoln as a
young lawyer, he didn't get much
practice at his profession, SO whenever
committees from county fairs or grand
picnics" came to the city for oratory
and applied for the same at some law
yer's office, they were referred to Bry-
an. and Bryan usually accepted and
thundered at them just what he
thought. whether they thought that
way Or not. And pretty soon he ran
for Congress in the Republican district
Ran because no other Democrat want
ed to be defeated. and was elected. And
the busy lawyers who referred COM
mittees to him are still as little known
as busy lawyers in thousands of little
cities. while he is known tho world
around. as no other lawyer. busy or
otherwise, in any city, big or little.
ITO you, young man or old man,
say this: study William Jennings Bry-
an. 1t doesn't matter whether you are
a Democrat or Republican or Prohibi-
zionist. or a Socialist. There is some-
thing far more important to you than
politics and parties. It is manhood,
and Bryan is a man of whom 1t may be
said. he has snever known defeat, al
though he Aasomet it often for his sort

ANARcHY's A HARVEST.

| Durlng early Mass in st. Elizabeths
Church in Denver, last Sunday morn
ing man knelt at the altar rail among
the communicates. Father Leo Helm
richs. the Franciscan priest in charge
OF the parish, was the celebrant of the
Mass The service had proceeded ia
the administering of the communion.
The priest had Just offered the conse-
Grated host to the murderer when he
was shot dead. His last work was the
giving Of the Communion to the man
who murdered him. His last audible
words were directions to an assistant
priest for the protection of the cibor-
ium. The murdered priest was un-
known to the murderer so far as 1t can
be learned. The murderer had never
seen him before that morning The
priest did not even belong to the Same
nationality.
What motive. then, impelled this
man to do such a cowardly and das-
tardly act? The crime has no parallel
in the history Of the world. Why was
this priest who belonged to an order
whose members follow a most severe
and austere manner Of life stricken
down in the sanctuary? Father Helm
richs had none OF this worlds goods
nor did he seek any. Here is the OK
n1Qn finn of tho r,o,,rda

They are all against the working man.
l went to the Communion rail because
could get a better shot. shot him,
and my only regret is that couldn't
have shot the whole bunch of priests.
They are all in the same class. I am
an anarchist and am proud of it."
That is the motive for the murder OF
a defenseless priest. 1t is the motive
which actuates the brutal vipers called
anarchists. Their aim is against. not
civil government alone, but against the
spiritual government. They hate law
and order of every kind. They hate
those who are the administrators of
the law. They see in the Catholic
church a. powerful and unyieding
force. In Italy and some other coun.
tries they are called anti-clcricals. be-
cause that term is not so odious to
some as the name anarchists.
In the eyes Of his fellow anarchists
the man who murdered this defenseless
priest is Il hero. He would have been
a greater hero in their estimation IL he
had murdered the Pope. Some time.
perhaps. in this country we will learn
what anarchy really is. Sometime,
perhaps. we will put stop to the men
who on street corners inlame their
hearers to commit deeds of violence
against civil and spiritual authority.
This Italian shoemaker who murdered
Father Heinrichs was made more dam
gerous and CONSCIOUSNESS by the teach
ings of anarchy. He was taught a gos-
pei of murder, pure and simple. The
man who murders another against
whom he has some personal grievance
has some little excuse, but anarchy

teaches murder without respect

teaches murder without respect to
persons.
How long must presidents and
priests and judges be exposed to the
attacks of these beastial minds that are
deprived Of every human quality ex-
cept intelligence in committing MUIR
der? Shall we continue, in the name
Of liberty, to allow this brood to pour
forth their poisonous doctrines upon
the streets Of our cities and incite their
hearers to murder more presidents and
more priests? How many more rulers
Of nations are to be stricken down as
their people gather in the streets to
welcome them, merely because they are
chosen to rule? How many more
priests of blameless lives, unselfishly
devoted to the service of others, are
to be stricken down before the altar
because they represent an institution
in which men seek consolation for their
sorrows and salvation for their souls ?
Must we wait until murder has been
committed before society can protect
itself against the murderer? Must we
sit by and allow murder to be taught
and preached and be unable to reach
out and lay hold Of those who teach
and preach it until they have put into
practice their teachings? Has not So
ciety a right to strangle these men
whose hands are raised against society
before they strike? These are ques-
tions which the people Of this country
must act upon. The outlaws Of Eu-
rope must not be given quarter here.

good people are grooming Hon. John

will never receive such nomination.

Alderman Ehle of the Twelfth ward
is of the opinion that an attempt was
made to bribe him February 3, in con-
nection with a hose company contract
which was before the council and at
that time awarded to the Manhattan
Company. Some one ran across the
alderman following the meeting and
intimated that there was $1,000 in it
for him If the contract could only be
awarded to some other company. but
the alderman declares he was so elated
over the Manhattan's success that he
didn't get the mans name. The delay
in making his statement, together with
the limited information the alderman
now furnishes. has caused his story to
be ridiculed. 1t really looks as though
he had made mess of it. Better he
hadn't told his story at all,
