Judson Harmon, of Ohio, and Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, of Alabama, who are two of the most popular men with the Democrats over the country that are aspiring to the presidency. The Democratic party has been es- pecially kind to and considerate of Colonel Bryan. They have submitted to his personal desires on many occas- sions, have followed him through three unsuccessful campaigns and now, in appreciation of their generosity and loyalty, the Colonel comes forward and declares that he and not the par ty shall name the temporary chairman, that he shall nominate the candidate who is to lead Democracy to victory.
 Colonel Bryan is entirely too offic- ious. Colonel Bryan ought to be "sit on' and "sit on" good and hard. The National Committee has already signi- fled it's intention of convincing MT. Bryan from the start that it will not submit to dictation and rule or ruin' policy.
 Colonel Bryan should be made to take a back seat and made to stay there.

GETTING AHEAD OF SCANDAL
Peace and Dignity of Congregation &c., cured by Recommendation
 Made to Pastor.

Farson Henderson, an evangelist Of color, was caught one bright morning holding the hands of one of tho eve lambs of his congregation, who was a ve-y popular young lady, and it craat- ed quite stir among the colored pop ulation, relates writer in Norman E., Mack's National Monthly. So the par son was brought up for trial and was questioned by the officers of the church as to what he meant by his action, and this is what he had to say in answer to the question propounded to him: "My hrudders, you have seen these great pictures I suppose, so you know dat the great Shepherd am always pictured with q lamb of his flock in his arms
 "Yes. sah, parson, dat am so," ad- mitted Deacon Jones.
 Den, Brudder Jones, what am wrong in the shepherd of his flock holding a lamb in his arms?"
 This was too much for Drudder Jones, so he proposed the officers of the church have call meeting that afternoon. After the point was dis cussed fully the following resolution was adopted:

REMEMBER THE LOVED oNcs
Pathetic Religious Ceremony That Ia Observed hy People of the
 Isle of Usf1ant.

In the Island of Ushant--the 'Is1e of Fear''-there exists g. custom prob ably unknown in any other part Of Christendom. When a native dies abroad or is lost at sea, his relatives have a small wax cross made, ss me seven inches long. This is solemnly taken to the church and presented to the priest, who deposits it in a box, shaped like cinerary urn, that hangs on the south side of tte altar of St. Joseph. This is called the "Pro Ella" cross, and is supposed to stand for the spirit Of the 0ead. These memo. rial symbols are allowed to accumu. late in the Dox till the next church mission comes round. As these reyi. val services are held only cnco i'll ev cry four or five years, the number of crosses may be very considerable. A day is then set apart for their solemn tnterment. It is the great day, the climax of tho mission. Tho church is draped in black ard crowded with mourning congregation, many of whom break out into loud wailing. The crosses are brought from their urn in solemn procession. requiem mass is said over them, and thensthey are carried to tho churchyard, the iron door Of the tomb is unlocked, and they are inferred with full honors. Throughout the year hardly a day passes but some pious soul comes to sprinkle the tomb with holy water and say prayer before it for the dead.vWide World Magazine.

"RULE OR RUIN" BRYAN.

Colonel William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, three times standard bear CT of the Democratic party and as many times defeated, the man who has been showered with honors by his fel- low Democrats, may be likened to the president and one time would-be presi- dent with continuous campaign head quarters at Oyster Bay.
 Because he could not rule the Re- publican party and the voters of the country Colonel Roosevelt tried to ruin them, but he has failed utterly and has been given drubbing with his own ''Big Stick" that is causing him much humiliation.
 Because he cannot dictate to his party and tell them who they should have for temporary chairman of their convention next week in Baltimore and who they should nominate for president, Colonel Bryan is attempt ing to ruin his party.
 Colonel Bryan has already served notice on the National Committee that he will oppose the selection of Judge Alton B. Parker as temporary chairman, and to add to his display of authority to act for the whole Am crican people-or the Democratic par ty at least-the Colonel has addressed a letter to each of the presidential candidates urging them to oppose the confirmation of the National Com mittee's selection.
 Now about the best thing that Col onel Bryan can do is to officiate in the capacity of a delegate and aid in the movement for united party and harmony. At this time harmony and good feeling means much to the Dem ocratic party. The Republicans are still split wide open' as result of the recent disturbances in Chicago and If Colonel Roosevelt carries out his threat and he generally makes good his threats, even if he does not some >tiuscsS 'l suoc eed, the sG..S Q.
