UNCANNING THE SPEECHES.

John Jones is a republican. James Gree,
Each occupies contentedly a pretty eight

import at all. ~

residence in half,
And Jones and Green invested in a cam

That is, Jones bought a photograph, and
Green bought one as well; ~
Each bought a bunch Of records such as

Greens records bore what Bryan said,

fully Photographed.
John Jones came home that evening and
he dined in rare content;
James Green came home and dined as ueu
right glad that he had spent

But Jones eyed Green, and Green eyed
Jones with angry, baleful eyes,
And Jones told Green and Green told JoEes
IL was a pack of lies.
They left the phologrgphS alone and met
there in the hall
Jones kicked his. neighbor on the shin,
Green bumped Jones on the wall;
They struck and pulled and Rouged and

TIE DEMOCRATS AND H NEGROES

$500 80 $500
The southern democrats are still
showing their disapproval OF Mr.. Bry-
ans attempt to secure the support of
the negro voters in the north. The
negro is recognized by the democrats
at the polls he will of necessity compel
them to recognize him in the distribu-
tion of the rewards Of Office, and with
the political recognition established
social recognition would inevitably
follow. The opposition to Bryan's at
titude on this question is doubtless the
real reason for the bolt of the demo-
cratic national ticket by the Baltimore
Sun, the Oldest democratic newspaper
in the south. The Sun says:
Where will such an alliance lead the
south? II we succeed with the aid of the
negroes this time we must pay them with
| offices for their votes If we want to retain
their support next time. In that event we
must bid even higher at the next election
and the next for their support, until we
become Thoroughly identified with them
politically and are unable to succeed with
out their help. Such political amalgama-
ton, involving as it would the wiping out
of the color line in many other particulars.
would be extremely offensive to the south,
and would be Indignantly repudiated by
southern white men. The south does not
Intend to solve the negro problem in this
way. no matter by whom 1t may be pro-
posed or Endorsed. This alliance with the
negroes is bad in point of policy and prin-
ciple and will in time inevitably produce
conditions dangerous to the highest and
most sacred interests of the south. The
democratic party cannot get the negro
vote without paying for it, and the ques-
ton is, Can the south afford to pay the
price they demand2
Mr.. Bryan is being placed in a de-
cidedly embarrassing position by the
refusal of the southern democrats to
quietly watch his attempted Irritation
with the negro voters in the north.
While he has persistently talked about
placing the man above the dollar, he
has openly endorsed the contention of
the south that the man must be a
white man. In his speech at Cooper
Union hall, New York, last April Mr..
Bryan declared that the southern dem
ocrats were justified in DISTINGUISHING
the negro and that northern states
would adopt a similar course under the
same conditions. The south applauded
that utterance, but changed its ap-
plause to censure when Joined with
some of the northern democrats in an
EFFORT to win the negro vote on account
of the Brownsville incident, Since the
%furore owe the question was started
Mr.. Bryan has declined to discuss il
asserting that IL was not his place &c
discuss any Issues that were not men,
toned in the Denver platform. While
Mr.. Bryan is refusing to discuss the
negro question, it is always a live issue
in the southern states and democrat.
in that section are keeping 1t befor,

Courier is printing and repeating thes,
questions. addressed to Mr.. Bryan:
First-If elected president, Mr.. Bryan. vii

ditions of negro suffrage in the southern
states?
second-wm you mak any effort to re
store the negro soldiers who were dis

missed from the military service OF the
country because OF the affair at Browns
willie, Tex7
Third-Will YOU appoint negroes to Off
cial places in the federal service?
Fourth-In the selection and appointment
OF United states judges for the supreme,
circuit or district benches would you be
controlled by political or factional consider
atoms or regard these offices as rewards
for assistance given to you and the party
you represent in the presidential election?
In all fairness to the negro voters
Of the northern and border states, Mr..
Bryan should answer the questions.

The death OF William r. Villas directs
attention once more to the disappearance
from public life of nearly all the repre-
sentative democrats OF the old regime.
MT. Villas had quite retired from politics
long before his death, but that was not
because he had ceased to be interested
in public affairs. but because he had been
left without a party. He was a type of
the sincere and capable men who sur
rounded President Cleveland and who
ought to have been retained in the public
service.

How Russell Sage made his money, at
least the later accumulations, is shown by
the fact just brought out that when the
executors took hold OF the estate after his
death they found that no less than $4,000
600 was due it from loans made to stock
exchange houses on call. This was a
branch of the money market of which he
made a speciality and for which he carried
a huge amount OF cash. In times of severe
money stress, when call rates would rise
to 20. 50 and even 100 per cent, it would be
possible for him TO reap a fortune in a brief
time. and it was noticeable that he would
be exceptionally LONG of cash when such
times came on, and he charged all the
traffic would bear. Meantime the eXecu-
tors OF the estate, DR.. John p. Mum and
Charles w. Osborn, have helped themselves
or been helped to a generous share of the
great fortune. They have been two years
in settling it and receive 1895, 636 for their
services, while Mr.. Sage left $4,000 each to
his nephews and nieces. That Is q scanda-
lousy extravagant compensation, of course.
It is enough to make the thrifty Uncle
RUSSELL turn in his grave.

of the United States coinage may be ex-

ton.
