,ln. BRYAN, QUIT your POOLING.


When Mr.. Bryan was asked, just as
he was sailing for Liverpool from
New York last week, what he thought
about Presidential candidates. he re-
piled that there were several good
men in sight, but that it is too early
to discuss candidates seriously. Mr..
Bryan is right. There is time enough,
and If he shall think, when the time
comes, that certain gentleman from
Nebraska would be the most available
man, pray. can anybody tell us why.

Besides, it is as certain as anything

from Europe about the first of July
he will bring back with him port

LoRInER THINNING ABOUT TT.

Senator Lorimer of Illinois, has
finally reached Washington. and they
say that he is thinking about calling
for an investigation of the charges
that have been made that he bought
his way into the Senate. He should be
noble purpose: but we fear that he
will hesitate SO long that somebody
| else will get ahead of him. There does
| not appear to be any doubt that he
/ will be investigated soon or late, and
unless he knows that he is guilty he
ought to demand that his whole record
be stripped and insist that he shall
stand or fall by what he has done He
will fall and fall hard, If the Chicago
Tribune has not basely slandered him
unless he can establish an alibi, SO t.
say.
We believe in always giving the &C
cuscd the benefit of a fair trial. 1t does
not matter whether he has stolen ;
horse or bought a seat In the United
states Senate, and we bespeak for Lor
liner a square deal. He has made
great many speeches on questions o
civic virtue; he was in Richmond SOM
months ago and talked then about tn
high duties of good citizenship. FL
did not look guilty then, only a littl
4 quiet and self-restrained and self-con
scious of indigestion or some othe
secret, and we are not willing to con
denim him unheard. What We insis
upon is that he shall force the tightin
against his enemies. AS one of on
contemporaries remarked some day
ago, a bluff is always good IL it ca
only get by. This is the time for Sen
ator Lorimer to try the bluff or thro,
up his hand.

WHY Nor PENSION ALL,.

There is weeping and wailinS and
crashing OF teeth in the office of the
Sixth Auditor of the Treasury In Wash
ington. Clerks are hanging their heads
and stenographers are weeping in their
handkerchiefs; the superior officers
are a little embarrassed and the Sec
rotary himself is mournful. Sixty
clerks in the Office have been dis
missed because accounting machinery
has made their services unnecessary.
We do not doubt that the depart
ment chiefs are sorry. Sixty men are
little army in themselves, and sixty
enemies are enough to make the audi
tor toss uneasily on his bed when
slumber should be soothing his con-
science. We do not doubt that all
parties concerned are sorry the ma
| chinery was invented and sorry it has
| been introduced and sorry there is no
excuse for hanging around the office
doing nothing. The clerks had been so
long in Office that they considered the
Treasury Department their private
property and their offices their gift for
life.
1t is now proposed in staunch Repub-
lican quarters to provide against such
awful contingencies as this in the fu-
ture and to pass civil retirement bill
that will effectually protect mar
after he has been in the Government
service SO long that he is too lazy tc
work and that will care for him wher
some invention takes his place. The
plan is such bad one that 1t will prob
ably pass, but it should be opposed bs
every one who feels the pinch Of TIL,
pension evil. II We pension the civl
service employees we might as we'll pen
sion all postmasters, and II we pension
these, we should certainly not withhold
the Government bounty from all mel
who work temporarily for It, Whel
this is done it would be perfectly RICH
s and proper to pension every Republical

THE SIN AND THE SHOW.

Some of the Southern newspapers
are hot in the collar because the
New York Sun has opposed the Pan
ANA Exposition which they plan TO
hold at New Orleans. Several of the

their cathedral dignity and tell the
sun to go TO the devil, so to say, and

tons or elise wishes TO be smart by
taking position contrary to that
held by the press of the East.

A NEW NAME AND A NEW GREET

A NEW NAME AND "A NEW CREED.

at Asheville changed the name of the

Do the people of Page and Fremont

Byers- Cosson laws for the enforcement
of the laws of Iowa, and in their stead
to put up to each town or county the
obligation to recall any official who re-
fuses TO or neglects to carry out the
laws OF the state? Then, If some town
mayor or some county attorney or
county sheriff in a community that is
opposed to the laws of Iowa should fail
to enforce the laws, the state Of Iowa
would be powerless to bring them to
time. Davenport and Podunk could
snap their fingers at the laws Of Iowa.
II one of the smaller towns of Page or
Fremont counties concluded to run
wide open and permit liquor selling
and gambling and prostitution. the
great state Of Iowa would have to per-
init it because the state could not dis
miss or punish the officers OF the town.
If the people of that town wanted that
kind OF condition that would end it..
