Now that Joel Chandler Harris Is
dead, some Of the southern whites who
think they know all about the Negro
are saying that Mr.. Harris created the
animal stories told by Uncle Remus.
Recent Investigations show that tales
showing the superior wit of 'Brer'
Rabbit" and similar to those told by
uncle Remus" are well-known among
some of the half-ciVilized tribes of

AN EMBARRASSING ISSUE.

The Brownsville affair, besides be-
an incubus upon the campaign OF the
Hon. William Howard Taft is about
to prove embarrassing to the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan, the nominee
OF the Denver Convention.
MI. Bryan realizes the power Of the
Negro vote in every state of the Mid
die West. He knows that with the Ne
gro in active opposition to the repub-
lican candidate, his chances for car
rying Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and even
New York will be considerably bright
ened. So Mr.. Bryan wants the Negro
vote; in fact the gentleman from Lin
coin has tried to draw all elements to
his support this year.
The New York World, previous to
the Denver Convention quoted Bishop
Walters, who, with a delegation OF
prominent Negroes, called to see Mr..
Bryan concerning his views upon
Brownsville and other matters per
tanning to the race, in part, as follows
Mr.. Bryan, answering, said that as
to conditions affecting the ballot he
was not free to discuss.
AS to the appointment of Negroes,
they had received by way OF appoint
lnents from the Republicans very lit
lie. His policy would be to give the
Negro such recognition as he was fair.
ly entitled to. Personally he believed
competent and qualified Negroes should
be appointed and given recognition
along with other citizens of the coun
try, and where they support the Demo
cratic ticket should be taken into &C
count.
"Mr. Bryan said that he regarded
the discharge of the Negro soldiers
without honor as an outrage; that il
the men were guilty they should bt
punished in the regular way by court
martial or trial by civil courts, as
every citizen, black or white, ought
to have a fair trial before he is pun
ished in any way.
He had always thought that to dis
charge the whole battalion, when al
least only a few could have had any
thing to do with the shooting up of tn,
town, was outrageous, and be ex
planned only as an impulsive act upor
the part of the President"
This places Mr.. Bryan on the same
side of the Brownsville affair as Sena
tor Ben Tillman, the only Southern
Senator to oppose the Presidents or
der.
Most of the democrats have kept {
discreet silence, so far, upon the ques
ton. It seems that they want Bryan
to get whatever strength he may il
the North from the issue. But Ton
Watson, of Georgia, the Populist Can
didate for President, has begun an agi
tation against Bryan on account of the
views expressed above. Whether thu
attack Of Mr.. Watson will force Mr.
Bryan to deny the authenticity of thu

ELL 70 Stop Stock Sharpers

The Senate yesterday passed a
measure which is aimed directly al
the alleged practice of certain brokers
manipulating the market by working
in conjunction With labor leaders
The charge has been freely made at
various times that certain brokers
at Goldfield entered into agreements
with certain labor leaders and then
"played' the market. This plan was
to sell short on a high market and
then precipitate some labor trouble
and during this slump to cover" The
market was played both ways. when
it went down and also on its return
to the normal conditions. The meas
ure is aimed to stop this practice and
if enforced it will do so effectuallE.
The measure was introduced by the
special committee from the two
houses and it is as follows in full:
| Section l. A person who gives, 0,
