Tnyowiug on Party shackles.

Throwing OF Party Shackies.
Several of the Picayune's CORE
spondents who had been heretofore
classed as Democrats have propos-
ed that the Southern people shall
"shake off party shackles' and vote
for Judge Taft for President.
The term, shaking off party
sbackles, becomes ridiculous when
it means abandoning Democratic
affiliations for Republican connec-
tons. What is the difference be-
tween Democratic shackles social
ed, to which we are accustomed
and Republican shackles which
are just as combining, and to which
we have not become Injured? The
old fable in which all persons car
rying heavy burdens OF care, mis-
fortune and grief, were ordered by
Fate to drop their loads, and this
being done each individual was
permitted to take up the package
he could easiest carry, comes up III
this connection. Each person Sc
lected some other individuals bur
den, but only for moment was
the change pleasing. Each sool
found that the other fellows loat
was excessively hard to carry, ant
each begged to have his own oi'
burden restored to him.

to Democratic affiliations, and w
will do we'll to stick to them, there

Bryan and Kern Address Letter
To Farmers.

LlncOlu, NeD, July 40. nv
first appeal for campaign contribu
tions by the Democratic candidates
for the presidency and vice presi-
dency was made today. In a form
al message directed to the farmers
of the country, Messrs. Bryan and
Kern urge them to contribute ac-
cording to their means and in other
ways ASSET in restoring democra-
CIV to power. The appeal is as
follows:
"To the farmers of the United
States:
"The first contribution made to
the Democratic campaign fund
this year SO far as we know was
made by farmer in Iowa. just
before the Denver convention met
this man, who modestly prefers
not to have his name mentioned,
journeyed more than one hundred
miles to Lincoln with his contribu-
tons of 500, which he left with
Mr.. Bryan to be given to the com
mittee when organized for the cam
paign.
"This farmer was born in Sweden
and for some time after he was
uaturalized was a member of the
Republican party, but was a stu
dent of public questions and IN the
course of time became Democrat.
To manifest his deep interest IN
the success of the party and In
the triumph of the democratic
principles be made this free Will
offering to the campaign fund.
at is very appropriate that this
first contribution should come from
, that great body Of our population
known as agriculturists. The farm
er has nothing to gain by privilege
and favortism, his hope is in the
application of the doctrine of equal
, rights to all and special privileges
to none. He has been the victim
\ of all special legislation and has
suffered from the control OF politics
by the great predatory corpora
lions.

has announced its determination no

WHAT BRIST0W FOUND.
His Report on Panama Laid Before
Senate Committee.

Washington, JAN N-Secretary Taft has
transmitted to the senate commlttee On
Bristow who was sent by the war depart
ment to investigate the relations existing
between the Panama Railroad company
and the steamship lines operating on tne
Pacific coast with a view to ascerta1nlng
whether the government ought TO engage
in the steamship business on the Pacific
in order to preserve the business of the
Panama route and furnish traffic for the
government steamers plying north on the
Atlantic side.
The report contains interesting data
gathered by Mr.. Bristow and recommen-
dations which may give the canal commit
tee some important legislative points to
consider in connection with the building or
the canal. 1t is shown that the govern
ment is facing a serious CONDITION. OF al,
railroad from west to east is dw1ndlng at
a rate which will practically mean the ex-
and New York by steamer route by the
time the canal is built. The business at
the Pacific terminal Of the railroad has
been reduced one-half since the govern
ment took charge. Last year but 1900
tons of freight were transported over the
railroad from Panama to Colon. AT the
present time most of the steamers operat-
ed by the government on the Atlantic
ocean are compelled to return north in
ballast.
The traffic depression is mainly due to
the action of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company which has been refused an ex-
elusive contract with the Panama rail-
road. contract formerly existed by
which through bills were issued by the
exclusive contract and the secretary of
war deemed 1t proper to cancel it. The
steamship company advised the govern
ment that they would be willing to i'm
prove the service on the Pacific coast and
put two new steamers if the govern
ment would give them the exclusive right
to shut out some foreign ships of GER
tain line not from Panama. The secretary
did not feel justified in doing this, and the
result has been a general falling off of
I l-%1 h,1-t 90
states to New York via the Panama route
The question now arises whether the
government should save the income to its
transportation line on the eastern side by
running some risk on the western coast in
operating a steamship line and retaining
a traffic route through the canal. AS con-
ditions are at present, according to the re-
port of Mr. Bristow, there is danger of the
traffic being diverted to Tehauntepec and
| other routes

Democrats Object in Vain to
Passage of Resolution.

Just before the adjournment of the
house at noon today, W. r. Stubbs in
troduced a concurrent resolution en-
dorsing the candidacy of William H.
Taft for president.
w. I. Saunders Democrat, moved to
amend the resolution by striking out
the words William H. Taft and in
serting William J. Bryan" Amid
beaten, ang the original resolution
was passed, all the Democrats voting
against it, and all the Republicans
voting for it.
The solution follows:
Whereas, The state of Ohio, the
home of Hayes, Garfield and McKin-
William H. Taft, as a candidate for
president of the United States apd
proposes to name him as such by di-
rect primary vote,
Whereas. He is the friend, the choice
and the logical successor of Theodore
Roosevelt, our present chief executive
Whereas, He is statesman of world
wide experience, who believes in the
pristine virtues and lofty ideals of the
early days of the republic, and is a
tried, true, and capable citizen whose
first and last thought is administra-
half of all the people.
Therefore be 1t resolved, BY the
house of representatives of the state of
Kansas. the senate concurring therein,
that the choice and the only choice Of
Kansas. the greatest state in the great
west for president of the United States
is William H Taft, formerly of Ohio,

the result of their conviction and the
supreme court interferes with those
sentences only so far as to hold that

sentenced.
They received a year sentence each
and a fine of $4,000.
