PATRIOTISM.
Bryan Opposed to Giving Nebraska
Volunteers Praise.


Volunteers Praise.
1t has been charged in the Capital
that on the subject Of pensions Col.
william J. Bryan was not patriotic
while a member Of congress. The
friends of the colonel dispute theutate-
ment
But there Is another record.
Every one remembers the great career
of the First Nebraska volunteers In the
Philippine Islands. That regiment
made a reputation which thrilled the
country.
The Nebraska legislature In 1890
adopted the following joint resolution
BE 1t resolved by the Legislature OF
the State OF Nebraska. That the thanks
Of the State be hereby extended to the
officers and men OF the First Nebraska
regiment of the United States volun-
teers for their gallant conduct on the
field OF battle, their courage In the
presence Of danger and their fortitude
In the hardships Of camp and cam
paign.
"Resolved. That we acknowledge with
gratitude and Joy the debt the State
owes them by reason Of the honors con-
ferred uponsIt by their vAlor while de-
principles OF our government and add
ing new glory to our nag. We pledge
the honor Of the Stats that to the liv-

Of their fame"
time was a Democrat and he vetoed this
FlaH ha
that this was done on the advice OF
Mr.. Bryan. On the 3D. Of May. 1900.
in an open letter to the editor Of the
State Journal, published In Lincoln. MT.
Bryan denied that Governor Poynter
discussed the question with him prior
to the publication Of the veto. He
said:
"I knew nothing. Of the passage Of
the resolution until I read the veto
message In the newspapers. I approve
Of the governors action. however. and
believe that he did right in thwarting
q partisan attempt to make political
capital out Of the bravery Of Nebraska
soldiers"
We call the attention Of Captain
Clark and other veterans Of the civil
war to this partisan action on the part
Of Colonel Bryan.
In no State In the union, except Ne
braska, could such Z veto and such
letter have appeared. And It could not
have occurred in Nebraska except for
the partisan leadership OF Colonel
Bryan.
Looking on the matter n history that
10 made and cannot be undOne. one can
mot realize that the governor OF Ne
braska would take the action which he
did, nor can It be realized that Colonel
Bryan would approve it-Des Moines

Gompers and Union Labor.

The prediction that union labor
would resent the attempt Of President
Gompers Of the American Federation to
drag it into the Bryan camp was freely
ventured early In the campaign. Now
it is coming true. Hardly day passes
without fresh advances from some part
of the country Of serious friction be-
tween the leader Of the Federation and
his former supporters.
Evidently Gompers will not be able
to carry out his undertaking to deliver
the union labor vote to Bryan. Union
labor is intelligent enough and inds-
pendent enough to insist upon doing
Dolitica! thinking for itself.-Milwau-

Known by Its Fruits.
The Republican party never has had
factions within itself concerning issues.
1t has been unanimous In knowing what
it stood for There is something about
the Republican party that sends things
UP above par, and something about the
Democratic party that sends things
down below par. Above par is sun
light, summer, hope and plenty. Above
par is the fire light dancing on the
walls of contentment, to the song OF
the kettle singing on the hearth OF
plenty. Below par. Hunger and Want
and Bankruptcy sit brooding by dead
ashes, while the candle OF life cutters
down to the shape Of winding sheet.

Statistics Compiled by Presideat u

Assertion.
Striking Contrast Between the Deeds
Of the Republican LawmAksE0
and the Democratic Leg
iSlator1.

One Of the issues in every campaign
In that Of labor legislation. All parties
claim to be the friend of labor, and 1t u
but natural that this would bring out
the facts.
This year the Democratic party u do
ing more claiming than ever before along
rhis line. and this has led James Feensy.
president of Washington Union No. 4,
international Brotherhood Of Bookbind-
ers, to compile some statistics which
speak for themselves. Mr.. Feeney y one
Of the best known and most hishly re-
spected labor leaders in the national cap
ital, and his word is always accspted
with those who know him.
Many Records Taken.
Mr.. Feeney has taken the records Of
the various states for the purpose Of nnd-
ing out what laws have been pased and
by what party they were enacted. He has
taken ten laws, including those creating
labor bureaus, public employment agen-
cies, state boards Of nrbitrntion: also
eight-hour laws, child labor laws (mint
mum age). child labor laws (night work
women's labor laws. seats for shsp girls
laws, anti.sweat shop laws and laws Tor
protection Of unions.
In every one Of these laws The labor
union has furnished the incentive for the
passage, It being the most vitality inter
ested.
Majority IL Republican.
Mr.. Feeney shows that In the case OF
each Inv the great majority Of the states
which have passed them are Republican.
This 10 true to q remarkable degree.
For instance. In the cnse OF the eight
hour law. eighteen states have them, six-
teen being Republican states and TIVE
Democratic states.
Another instance In In the case Of laws
protecting labor upions. there being such
laws in fifteen states, fourteen Of whioA
are Republican.

In Memoriam.

Probably no young lady was better
or more favorably known to the people
of Noxubee county than was Miss Lille
Mcleod. The news Of her sudden death
came as an unusual shock to her hosts
of admiring friends.
In her demise one of the lovliest OF
Christian Characters has passed from
our midst. A more loyal friend than
she never lived and for those she loved
no task too great. Hers has been an
unusually hard task, yet no murmer
Of complaint was ever known to have
passed from her Inns, and no matter
how heavy the load she struggled on
with smile.
She was talented to a remarkable
degree and of an unusually unselflish
disposition, and one Of the reasons that
she is dyad is that she forgot self and
did not listen to the warnings of nature
until that grim monster, typhoid, had
her in his grasp. Her frail body could
not stand the ravages of this disease.
Everything that loving friends could
do for her waf done and lust as It
seemed as though she had safely passed
the crisis she grew suddenly worse and
soon was sleeping the ''sleep thatknows
no awaking." but her life will not be
forgotten: the kind acts and loving
deeds 'of Miss Lille Mcleod will live
long after her body has sunk into undis-
tinguishable dUst FRIEND,

me to write a letter each week to TIRE
BEACON, telling what W" We're doing
in Jackson, and before the very first
letter reached Macon, he was dead, and
and how glad am that took occasion
to say a few good, true things about
him, Oh if we would only 10 this
oftener When a man has lived
long and honorable life, and we appre-
ciate and love him. tell him so, and let
him realize that he has not lived in
vain. He told me that day that his
life had been happy one, that he had
tried to do his duty by his family ana
his neighbors said God had not blessed
him with out one child, but that he had
raised several more, and that all were
good citizens. told him he had rea-
son to be satisfied, for he had the re
spect and confidence of all who knew
him, and that we all knew him to be an
honest man. He was a good neighbor,
and just a few days before he was
taken sick, although the roads We're
very bad, he rode over to see poor
white man, who had just moved into
the neighborhood, to tell him that
he would be friend to him and his
family. This was characteristic of him
he was always a friend of the poor
and needy.

ward, and | thank God | could call him

County Blood-Hounds.

Mr.. Allie Swami, member of the
Board of Supervisor from the First
district, will soon introduce measure
before that body for the purchase
maintenance and training of at least q
brace of blood hounds. These dogs
are almost a necessity in the proper
execution of the criminal laws of the
South, and in many counties they
have proved a grea: deterrent from
crime as well as a or eat agent in cap.
turing the real criminal after the com
mission of the crime,
Mr., Swami is wise in insisting that
the regular training and exercise Of the
dogs be provided for. Unless they are
given frequent, practice their efficiency
is greatly impaired, as is the public
confidenc in them. If his measure is
adopted and put into practice, he will
have done a great service to his
county.
