RIGHT TO THROW THEM OUT

The Norfolk, Va, Pilot says:
1.-The Philadelphia Record Is n ster-
ling Democratic journal. twas OPP
posed to Bryan's nomination and
argued earnestly that some other
candidate be chosen. Therefore the
Record is IA reliable witness az to
the merits of the GuiIey case, and
we find it editorially emphatic In
declaring that the delegates un-
seated were properly thrown out;
that they were not elected as the re-
suit OF an honest Democratic pri-
mary and bad no moral right to the
seats they claimed This is very
gratifying as the testimony Of "A
party whose motives can not be
questioned to the Justice OF the
course adopted by the Denver Con-
yention. Our first impression was
to the contrary and we are glad to
he corrected.

mot Just the Sort of Speech for the
Laddie to Hear"

The Binghampton IN. " Press
tells this story: Last winter when
William Jennings Bryan was here,
he attended an informal reception,
for men only. He had told num-
Der of clean, witty stories, when
suddenly n man, stranger, edged
through the crowd and began to
Joke with Mr.. Bryan. Nothing was
thought of this, as it was a game of
conversational give and take. Sud
denly from the lips of the stranger
there fell a single coarse remark.
The Commoner's jaw set like a steel
trap, and his eyes snapped. The
stranger was quickly hustled out of
the room. He was stranger here,
Mr.. Bryan said one present, and
had no business here. We beg your
pardon for this occurrence Never
mind me- said Mr.. Bryan, his eyes
softening. The mans ill-judged
remark did me no harm, and i know
he had no business here, but-point-
ing to lad of fifteen years, who
was watching the scene and wait
ing for handshake-'it was not
Just the sort of speech for the lad
die to hear"

of the literature being sent out by

said that over In st. Francois

tirely on account Of the old guard.
The friends OF Ball are making q
campaign on the grounds that they
don't want to see the State turned
over to the Missouri Pacific railroad
again, as 1t was before Governor
Folk turned the politicians out. The
old guard Is making life and

FARMERS CAMPAIGN FUND.
Appeal to the Farmers of the Coun
try for Contributions TO the Dem
ocratic Campaign Fund.

TO the Farmers of the United
States: The iir-t contribution made
to the Democratic campaign fund
this year, so far ns We know, was
made by an Iowa farmer. Just be-
for" the Denver convention met,
this man, who mudcstly prefers not
to huv" his name mentioned, jour
neycd more than on" hundred miles
to Lincoln with his contribution of
500, which he left with Mr.. Bryan
to be given to tie committee when
organized for the campaign.
This farmer was born In sweden
and for some time after he was
naturalizcd was IA member of the
Republican party, hut he was n stu
dent of public questions and in the
course of time became "A Democrat.
He has been u reader of The Com
InOncr since it's establishment, and
to manifest his deep interest in the
success Of the party and in this
triumph of Democratic principles,
he made his free-will offering to the
campaign fund.
II is very appropriate that the
first contribution should come from
.that great body Of our population
known as agriculturists, for the
farmer has nothing to gain by priyi-
legc and favoritism; his hope Is in
the application Of the doctrine of
equal rights to all and special priv
ilegc to none He has been the
victim Of all special legislation, and
has suffered from the control Of pol
itics by the great predatory curpOr-
atoms. Now that the Democratic
party has announced it's determine
tion not to accept contributions
from corporations, not to accept cX-
essive contributions even from in
dividuals, and to publish all cOntri-
buttons above n reasonable mini
mum, il ought to he able to secure II
sufficient campaign fund from those
patriotic citizens who ask nothing
from the government but protection
to their rights and consideration for
the general welfare. There are
hundreds Of thousands Of farmers
who are abundantly able to contri-
butte Ia the campaign fund. There
are thousands who could give 500
apiece without feeling il; there are
tens of thousands who could give
$50 apiece without sacrifice, and still
more who could give S2j or $40 or 50.
As the national commtte has not
yet been organized, we will ask The
COmmoner to call for subscriptions
to this farmers fund. Those giving
can indicate whether they are will
ing to have their names mentioned
and, If the contribution is not more
than 800, their wishes will be com
piled with. All contributions above |
800 must he made known, no matter
from whom they come.
The farmers fund will be turned |
over to the national committee as
soon as the permanent officers have
been selected. Who will he the first |
to respond? The Denver conven-
tion was II peoples convention; 1t |
adopted II strong, clear, honest plat
form, and its nominations were
made with practical unanimity. Our
fight is fight for the whole people.
Our aim is equal and exact justice
to all; our purpose is to restore the
to the hands of the free
ly chosen representative Of the
voters. How many farmers will
join In furnishing the fund necessary
TO present the issues?

Our Wonderful Railroads.

Gail Hamilton was right when she said
that IL there were never to be any rail-
ways on this continent it would have been
an impertinence for Columbus to have
discovered it. Only by the railways could
it's magnificent distances be bridged
Equally correct was Charles Carroll OF
Carrollton, the last survivor of the sign
ers of the Declaration of Independence.
when, on throwing up the first shovelful
Of earth for the first railway of the United
States which was intended to carry pas
sengers and freight. the Baltimore and
Ohio, he exclaimed, Il consider this event
second only to that of the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence, If second
even to that That was in lS2S But
England was far ahead of us in railway
building In the beginning. Even Russia
got a better start than We did. At the
outset we imported not only our locomo-
tives and cars. but also the rails on which
they were run and the men to run them.

Outcasts in Kaffir Kraals.

In the districts of Zoutpansberg and

of white men, cut off from civilization. on
the borders of or even within the native
reserves. Degraded whites actually squat
Oh the grounds of kaffir chiefs. Many Of
these settlers are of British descent. and
in some cases this state OF affairs has
la ST ed for twenty years. All ideas of law,
order and authority have vanished. and i'm

no choice for these outcasts except
murder or active completely in the re-

From The London Chronicle. ~
Although the East India Company nomi-

year which King Edward Is now making
memora ble-it had virtually ended its long
career twenty-five years earlier, for in
1883 parliament robbed it of its trading
powers and interfered with its governing
privileges. From that year it paid It's
proprietors out of taxes levied on the
people OF India, and had its battles fought
by the imperial forces. Such a condition
of things could hardly be expected to en-
dure, and after the mutiny the govern
ment in spite of desperate resistance
on the part of John Company, took
over all the functions of government

Farming Foxes for Their Fur.

The growing and world wide demand
for furs of high quality can be met only
by increasing the number of animals pro-
ducing them. and one great means of in
crease is the industry of fox farming AS
a business. fox raising is still in the ex-
detrimental stage and although many ex-
periments have failed few have sue
ceeded to an extent indicating important
possibilities for the future. Success is not
due however. to following out any set OF
rules, but depends upon the personal fit
