NOT ISSUES!

Attorney General Wade II. Ellis OF
Ohio, who was n member of the COM
mittee on resolutions in the Repub-
lican national convention, issued a
statement in which, referring to the
propositions voted down in the Re-
publican convention, he says: "Of the
seven omissions he (Mr. Bryan) re-
fers to, six are in no sense issues be-
fore the people at this time, nor has
there been any attempt to make them
such by the administration, nor by any
other influential element in the party.
The seventh concerns injunctions."
Many Republican papers suppressed
this portion of Mr.. Ellis statement.
The reason for the suppression will
be readily understood when it is re-
membered that among the PROPOSE
lions which Mr.. Ellis says are Gin no
sense issues before the people" are
the following:
Publicity of campaign contributions.
Ascertaining the value of railroads.
The national income tax
The encroachment of predatory
wealth.
Popular election of United States
senator's.
Mr. Ellis has, perhaps, noticed that
since the publication of his state
ment the Republican candidate for
president has given proof that he has
discovered that the people have some
concern in the publicity -of-campaign-
contributions proposition.

be found in great abundance in the in
terror. Tramping for days, he be-
came lost in dense jungle. His pro-
visions gave out, and there was no
water near.
He crept into a deserted hut and
lay down to die. He thinks he must
have lain there three days. the flies
and insects devouring his hands and
face. One evening, when the moon
was shining brightly, Six awoke from
his delirium to find two savage-looking
Moros bending over him. He was
powerless to do anything.
Zone of them drew his bolo," said
Six. Il could see the blade glisten-
ing in the moonlight, which streamed
into the hut through the broken walls.
could move neither hand nor foot.
1 merely watched the blade The ma
tives held parley, and then one ad-
vanced and struck me on the head.
1 could feel the hot flow of blood, and
then lost consciousness
Six was found day or two later
by surveying party gasping out his
life several hundred feet away from
the hut. How he got there he did not
know
He was carried by his rescuers back
to Prange, and from there to Manila,
where he lay in a hospital for 26
days. The Moros evidently thought
they had killed him. A portion of his
scalp had been laid open; there was
a long cash extending from his nose
back to the left ear; across his back
was another horrible wound, and his
right arm was almost severed His
vitality was wonderful, anil he was
finally brought back from the brink of
the grave, but broken man.
When 1 went over there" said Six,
as he tottered down the gangplank of
the Sheridan, Il weighed $50 pounds.
Look at me now. 1 am going back to
my home in Illinois to spend the re-
mainder of my life. God, but it is
good to get back"

RODENTS WRECK FIRE ALARM.
Thousands of Rats Electrocuted When
They GnaW Conduit.

Washington.-The surprising dis
covery has just been made that rats
gnawed through the lead sheathing
protecting seven strands of wire con-
meeting fire alarm boxes with fire
headquarters, thus putting II call
boxes out of commission.
The connecting wires carry approx.
imately 75 volts of electricity, and as
these wires were exposed after the
rats had devoured the insulation,
thousands Of rodents must have been
electrocuted. The conduit has not
yet been opened, but it is expected
that the charred bodies of thousands
of rats will be found when the wires
are relaid.
j. c. Simpson, electrical inspector
for the fire department, says that it
required the work of hundreds of
rats constantly gnawing for months to
make an opening into the conduit. A
continuous circuit of electricity has
passed through the wires for months,
and it seems impossible for a rat to
have taken more than one bite at the
wire before being electrocuted.

Stranger Whom He Met
on Journey.

Salt Lake City, Utah-After wander
ing in the desert for three days with
scarcely any food or water and delir-
ious from his wounds and privations,
p. J. Jebsen, a Dutch section hand.
reached the salt works near Saltair a
morning or two ago.
travelling on foott toward the Ne
vada line, he met and was attacked by
man whom he believed to be crazy.
This meeting occurred in the center of
the desert, far from any habitation or
water, and, as near as Jebsen can
judge, about eight miles from Salt
Lake. As a result of the encounter
Jebsen will probably lose the sight
of one eye, his nose is badly broken,
and his whole body gives evidence of
having received a terrific beating.
After having his wounds dressed at
the Holy Cross hospital, Jebsen, who
speaks no English, told his story
through an interpreter.
Six days previous he started from
Salt Lake to walk to the Nevada line,
near which his three brothers, one of
whom owns a small ranch, are en-
ployed. He carried his blankets and
a small amount of food with him.
The route chosen by Jebsen was
along the proposed line of the West
ern Pacific, and he had tramped for
more than two days when he met a
man, who seemed to be travelling in
the same direction.
Anxious for companionship in the
lonely desert, Jebsen joined the
stranger, although he could not com
municate with him, as he neither
speaks nor understands English. The
stranger carried no food or baggage
and Jebsen supposed that he came
from some ranch in that vicinity.
Suddenly, without any warning or
provocation, according to Jebsen's

UNFORTUNATE.

In the light of the bitter criticism
visited upon Judge Lands by Judge
Grosscup in releasing the Standard Oil
Company from fine, it will not do, of
course, TO criticise the court, although
we have eminent Republican authority
for such 4 course l. e., Theodore Roose-
velts criticism of Judge Humphreys
beef trust decision. We make bold to
say, however, that the New York
World puts it forcefully, although
calmly. when it says 1T is unfortu-
nate this most harsh condemnation
of n judge by his higher associates
should have been for his attempt ade
quately to punish the Standard Oil
Company"

FROM THE
COMMONER
THE FARMERS INTEREST.
MIR. BRYAN'S PAPER

A Cadillac (Mich.) reader of The
Commoner writes: The farmers should
be with us on the tariff and trust
questions. Around here the farmers
are getting Az cents a pound for
hides, against II cents year ago. Yet
the price Of leather is as high as it
was last year, and no immediate prom
ise OF reduction, and his shoes and
harness are costing him fully as much
rs a year ago. This year our farmers
received IS cents for wool against a
price OF "a a year ago, yet the Amer
lean Wooden Company that controls
about 20 per cent. of the leading
wooden mills of the country is charg-
ing as much for wooden cloths as
year ago and the farmer must pay as
much for his clothing as he did last
year and he is lucky if he does not
get more cotton in his clothes than he
does wool. Let us direct our efforts
TO convince the farmers and laborers
that their interests lie with us. Along
that line lies the road to victory"
Yes, and the farmers should be
with US on the question of an eco
nomiCal administration. They should
be with Us in the protest against the
exercise Of arbitrary power by the
speaker. whereby the house of repre-
sentatiVes has ceased to be a popular
government
They should be with us in the con-
demnation Of the misuse of patronage;
In the demand for railroad regulation
that will regulate; in the advocacy of
publicity for campaign contributions
before election day.
They should be with us in the oppo-
sitiOn TO that Capitalization which
would destroy our system of govern
ment and ultimately make it neces-
sary for the farmer, as well as other
citizens, to look to the national cap
ital, rather than to the state capital
and the county seat, when seeking re-
lief from corporate abuses.
They should be with us for the pop
ular election of senator's; for the in
come tax; for the guarantee to the Ia
boring men, as well as to all men, the
right of trial by jury; for the farmer
has deep concern in the welfare of
the laboring man who is the consumer
of the farmers products.
They should be with us on the guar
antee Of bank deposits; for what shall
1T profit farmer if he obtain high
prices for his product, and then have
no place where he may, with absolute
confidence. deposit his hard-earned
money?
They should be with us upon the
great question, shall the people rule"
for the farmer has a deep and abiding
interest in popular government; and if
he does not already know it, investiga-
ton will reveal to him the fact that
in the language of the Democratic ma
tional platform, shall the people rule
is the overshadowing issue which man
ifests itself in all the questions now
under discussion"

TREASON!

We would not for the world engage
in criticism of the court. But surely
there can be no harm in reproducing
a Republican editorial (for whoever
knew Republican editorial to be out
of accord with the accepted rules OF
polite society?). The New York Press,
a Republican paper, referring to the
Grosscup decision, says:
The judgment of the court of ap-
peals, which calls for careful scrutiny
and cool reading. can not alter the pub
lie conviction that the offenders be-
hind the Standard Oil corporation in
its rebate crimes deserve to be in the
penitentiary and will be sent there
when the law is enforced by those whe
take oaths to administer it."

He Struck Him a Terrific Blow.

story, the stranger turned on his COM
panion and struck him a terrific blow
over the eye which felled him to the
ground and stunned him. Although
Jebsen remembers but the first blow.
his assailant evidently did not desist,
bat continued to beat and kick the
helpless body after consciousness had
left it.
Many hours must have elapsed be-
fore he recovered consciousness, and
night had fallen. Half delirious from
thirst and the fever of his wounds he
dropped the small amount of food
which remained of his supply and stag
gered desperately over the desert in
search of water
All the remainder of that night he
wandered and through the binding,
burning heat of the next day before he
found relief late at night in a small
stream. Drinking his fill, but having
no receptacle with which to carry a
supply of water with him, he stag
gered on, his one idea being to return
to the country with which he was ia
miliar.
He slept that night in deserted
cabin and started on the next morn
ing with logged determination to cheat
the desert of it's victim. He passed
within a short distance of relief, but
his clouded brain forced him on to
the salt works, where he had former
ly worked and with which he was IA
miliar
When he reached the salt works he
was in a terrible condition. He was
taken in and cared for as well as the
rough accommodations of the place
permitted, and was brought to the
city ON the first train
The doctors who attended him state
that he will recover from his expert
ence, but that it is very probable
that he will lose the sight of his right
eye.
Jebsen is a native of Denmark, and
has been in this country little more
than two years. He was employed for
some time at the salt works, and late
ly has worked as section hand on the
line of the Salt Lake & Los Angeles
road to Saltair.

A SUGGESTION TO Mr.. SHERMAN.

Associated Press dispatches say that
Representative James S. Sherman, the
Republican nominee for vice-president.
will make a tour of the west in behalf
OF the Republican ticket. We sug-
gest that Mr.. Sherman, who is Speak
er Cannon's right hand man in the
house, tell the people what he thinks
of the Republican revolt against Can
uonism.
BY the time Mr. Sherman gets
through explaining to Republicans the
methods OF the Cannon-Sherman oil
garchy in the house, he may have some
time to devote TO his widely adver-
tised "arraignment of Democrats"
