Bryan's UltimatuE1.

Lincoln, Neb, Dec. 9.-William J.
Bryan today served notice on the DEM
ocratic party that he will be fatty
against the nomination Of any eastern
candidate for the presidency in 1912
who has the faint OF Wall street to any
degree. In an editorial in his Com
moner, taken practically as declara,
ton of war, Bryan declares the party
to be more radical to-day than ever be-
fore. He says:
''The democrats are being asked to
accept Wall street leaders, not because
of any democratic principle advanced,
but because Wall street promises vic
tory. Wall street has promised victory
before; it is not.a new promise. In
1892 the democratic party won vic
tory on the tariff issue, but as soon as
the election was over the Wall street
financiers demanded the unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman law and secured
thereby shameless use OF the patron
age by the coercion that they know so
we'll how to practice. And what was
the result? A republican triumph more
sweeping than any before since 1872
and more sweeping than any since ex-
cepting 1904, when Wall street again
promised victory. The defeats Of 1896,
1900 and 1908 we're not so disastrous
as the defeats OF 1894 and 1904. The
party is moro radical now than in either
1894 or 1904. What stupid folly to
think OF winning victory by retreat
and surrender to Wall street. !"
Lincoln, Neb. Dec. 9.-'Cannonism
has been overwhelmingly repudiated,"
declares William ]. Bryan, but the
dethronement must be made complete.
In urging Champ Clark to lead the
fight in the next Congress for the ami
hilation OF the Cannon rules, giving
speaker power to name committees,
Bryan says cdtorialIy in his Commoner
today: The whole scheme is repugnant
to the democratic sense Of con-
science. The speaker ought ito be
a presiding officer rather than a
boss. He ought to be in position to
decide parliamentary propositions, not
according to their eXigencies, but ON
their merits. The committees ought
to represent tue wishes Of the party,
not the wishes of the man who may
happen to be speaker. And the mi
nority members Of the committee
should be free TO represent their prlh-
ciples and their party without fear Of
the speaker and without expectation of
favor from him. Champ Clark is
Just the man to lead in the inaugural
ton of this regime. He led in the
overthrow OF Cannonism in the first
session of the present congress; UNI
der the precedent established in the
S election OF the committee on rules, and
the selection OF the Ballingcr invcstIgat-
ing committee makes it easy to extend
the principle 10 the appointment OF all
the committees. II the democratic
party will have the courage to inaugu-
rate the reforms demanded by the peo-
pie it can count on popular approval;
il after having loudly denounced Can
nonism it complacently adopts the
moro Ubiquitous feature OF Cannonisn',
it will find the people as ready to re,
buke it as they rebuked the republican
party"

Some of the New Jersey farmers are
advocating a form of conservation
that is rather out of the ordinary. Deer
have been so well protected in the
state that the animals have multiplied
to remarkable extent and have be-

depredations in the fields that the
farmers regard them as nuisances. To
modest a deer at this season means
severe punishment, but the sufferers
are moving to secure such action as
will save their crops from destruc-
ton. Vermont and some other north
ern localities report occasional dam.

sounds rather oddly to hear of such
things in a state which is largely a

John G. Carlisle, secretary of the
treasury under Cleveland, who had
been critically i'll for the past two
days, died at his agreements in New
York of heart failure, accompanied
by oedema of the lungs.
An intestinal complaint of long
standing, which wore down his vital.
ity, lay behind the technical fact of
heart failure. He was attacked last
spring by the same trouble, compiled.
ted by an ailment of the kidneys, and
for time lowered near death. But
his remarkable vitality triumphed
then. as ii seemed it might even in
the illness which ended Sunday night.
John Griffin Carlisle was born in
Kenton county, Kentucky, Sept. 5,
1885. He was educated in the public
schools, later studying law and was
admitted to the bar. Always a con-
sistent Democrat and interested in
public affairs as young man, he rose
from the Kentucky house of represen.
tatives to the state senate, served as
lieutenant-governor, and finally gradu.
ated into national affairs.
