Mr.. Hearst Must Habe His Lizzie Joke.

In his Atlanta speech, at the Graves notifca-
ton ceremony, Mr.. William R. Hearst said
that he "just came down to Georgia to see
friend Graves nominated"
AS my friend Graves receives 5000 per
year from Hearst to act editor Of one of his
papers, the interest of Hearst in his friend
Graves is not only legitimate, but insurable.
Then, again, as '|n1y friend Graves" was no.
tilted by Clarence J. Shearn, the personal at
torney of Mr.. Hearst, it was all the more natu-
raj that Hearst should want to be there The
Boss wanted to see the show, as his lawyer
"notifed' his editor. If Hearst's man Ihm-
semi had also been present-he of the Hearst
dough-bag-to read Brisbane speech on the
wickedness of the use of money in elections,
the Joke would have c1imaxed
AS it was the performance was unique
enough.
By the way, in addition to being the friend
of my friend Graves" Mr. Hearst is chair
man of the Hearst party, and pays for the
special train on which the circus travels
We are not prepared to affirm or deny the
rumor that Mr.. Hearst has engaged minstrel
troupe to accompany the great reform move
ment in its future perambulations.

Bypan In the CZebeland Ruf.

If Grover Cleveland was, as Bryan accused
him Of being, "bunco steerer' who had
played "a confidence game upon the people,
what is Bryan?
Everybody can see that the Bryan of old no
longer exists. The consecrated crusader who
in 1892 voted for James B. Weaver, the Popu
list, and who in 1896 electrified the country
with his Gross of Gold" speech, is to radical
ism lost leader.
Grown old and fat and rich, Bryan has
become a conservative, is safe and sane has
exchanged the War-horse for the palfrey has
beaten his sword into lot of fsh-hooIs, and is
out angling for votes-that merely.
To the cause Of reform Mr. Bryan has been
an unmitigated calamity. Into the nav of
his tremendous sehshness went the Silver
Party, the Peoples Party, and the Democratic
Party. Radicalism was transformed into Bry-
anism, and now after exploiting it for lecture
purposes and newspaper purposes, Bryan has
betrayed it to Wall Street The dauntless
champion of 1896 has dropped into the Cleve-
land rut, and he's there to stay. Riches are
pouring in upon him in golden tide, and the
richer and older he grows the less of a re-
former he will be.
He said he would never support a gold stand
ard man. He is now gold standard man
himself. Worse still, he is an asset Currency
man, and favors government loans to the ma
tional banks.
He said he was opposed to national banks,
and he now favors them. He said he favored
the government ownership of railroads. He
no longer does so.
He said he favored the Initiative and Refer
endum. He no longer does so.
With his cold calculating eyes upon Wall
Street, he declares that 'p1atform is no less

Before these words were mumb1ed, the bread
was just bread
After the priest had uttered his formula
his abra cadabra-the wafer was no longer
bread, but the actual body of Christ
Consequently, as this wafer was carried
through the streets, in by-gone ages, it was
Christ's body that was being borne in process
sion. AS the priests, dressed like women,
straddled along through the streets, the peo-
pie all knelt bare headed, until the Host
passed by. The proudest kings had to stop,
dsmount, and flop down in the dirt, on their
knees, as the priests and the wafer sailed
solemnly BY
Of course, this added immensely to the i'm
portance Of the priests and to the reverence in
which they were held.
Men who cap by few Words turn piece
of bread into the sacred body Of cruciied
Lord, are very divine persons.
Don't you see?
Well, the Catholic priests are losing out in
Europe where their tricks impositions and
corruption are best known, and they are max
ing desperate efforts to break into new pas
lures.
They are making dead set at North Ameri-
ca, where the people have had no experience
with the Catholic Church in power also at
Great Britain, which drove out the hierarchy
ages ago, on account of it's vices and crimes
Catholic street-parades, with the Host in
procession and all business stopped, and all
citizens bare headed, on their knees as the
little piece Of bread goes by, may be expected
in Our big cities in due time.
Superstition is marching on, and history is
going to repeat itself.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Summary Of Ebents as They Happen

After several weeks of flibustering
and non-accomplishment Of anything,
it is to be hoped that the Georgia
Legislature in expensive extra session,
will vindicate themselves by the pas
sage of some satisfactory measure
carrying out the plain demand Of the
people that the lease and contract sys-
tenn be abolished and an era of prison
reform inaugurated.

binding on what it omits than on what it con-

that he has dropped all Of his radicalism and
has put every wheel in the Cleveland rut.
What Democratic principles can you put
your finger on in Bryan's platform? None.
The Democratic principles of 1896 and 1900
have been omitted, and Bryan begs Wall Street
to note the fact
But should not those voters who are Demo
Gratis in principle also note it?

Democrats Of Delaware. who are urging

behalf tomorrow when Gray buttons and

of the distinguished Delawarean on pub
lie questions will be distributed. These
will be sent throughout the country. The

though no particular center of distribution

the prospects OF his nomination by the

OF the jurist that he Is not a candidate for
the high office.

It is the intention of these friends Of

that the distribution may be general The

activity is without the sanction of the

They have no sympathy with the sugges-
