the French consular agent at Alcazar,
Morocco. by a Spanish patrol. the report

ment of two Frenchmen by Spanish
troops at AlcaZar
At that time the press declared that

But I'VE have with us today
George w Perkins, right hand man
OF j. P. Morgan & Co., trust-makers
and dealers in monopoly fixtures. Mr..
Perkins does not talk like either Mr..
Carnegie or Judge Gary. Whereas
Judge Gary advocated government
control even TO the extent Of flxing
prices land he, Mr.. Carnegie and Mr..
Schwab denied that throttling compe:
tition could ever be thought of by the
steel or any other large interests, Mr..
Perkins, In an address to students,
denounces competition as "a ruthless,
cut-throat method which is RESPONSE
BILE for panics, sweat shops, child labor
and other evils which produce two ex-
tremes-millionaires and paupers-
which means death and destruction to
trade"
The only safeguard, then, against
these dire calamities and misfortunes
enumerated by Mr.. Perkins is to de-
stroy all competition in business and
turn everything into a monopoly. The
trouble with the TRUST doctors is that
no two of them prescribe the same
remedy.

A Transfer for the Peerless.

A Texas republican writes an up
braiding letter to the San Antonio Ex-
press because OF It's criticisms Of Mr..
Bryan and declares that IL the demo-
Gratis no longer want the Peerless
Leader for their guide and philosopher
the republicans will take him and do
just what the rank and file of the
democrats have done--follow him"
In the name of the republican party
this Texan not only orders the trans
fer to be made, but guarantees to
have Mr.. Bryan elected president as
republican. He describes the distin-
guished Nebraskan as the best and
greatest man of his time, the like of
whom is not to be found in the
g. o. p.
This Is, indeed, nice, and in behalf
of our friend and neighbor we. of Ne
braska bow in proud acknowledgment
of the compliment. And now let the
ancient adage be paraphrased tosread:
"A prophet is not without honor save
in his own political party" In all
seriousness this Texas republican. who
says he travels all over the land and
considers himself a good Judge of po-
litical conditions, adds:
Put Bryan on a rear end train platform
and start him from San Francisco to run
through TO Boston He would draw three
times the number OF people to hear him
than any three men IN either party. Not
withstandlng almost every man, woman
and child has seen him more than once
before. Don't think you can crush a man
who has such q hold on the people as that
! II might not be impairment to OBJ
serve that Mr.. Bryan has gone across
the country several times on the rear
end of trains, and, as our friend says,
has drawn immense throngs by the
magic of his eloquehce, but, as Mr..
| Bryan himself later discovered, not all
those who turned out to hear him
speak voted for him. And yet, while
not agreeing with the pro-Bryan Texan
as to the lack OF great men in the
republican party, we cannot help but
admit that II Mr.. Bryan should go
across the country as a republican he
might poll more votes than as a DEM
oerat.
But how does II come that these
Texans presume to do the giving away
of our own Mr.. Bryan? If any OF this
is to be done we guess it can be done
all right by his home folks-at least
some of them are acting as II they
would be very Jealous of the privilege.
