This Is not only a aigniticant statement but it is a compliment to the Nebraska democrat, and, reading between the lines of the utterance, the fact stands out that the "something" President Roosevelt must do to prevent democratic success in the nation is to carry out the reforms for which Bryan stands and which have given 1 irth to the term Bryanlsm.

Gjttieb O'Brien, of Mentonne, Mich, made a hi* strike this week because of his knowledge of natural nistory, which he learned In the graded school in his village. In the process of excavating a county ditch a large slciWh, not far from Mystic River, was drained out aim >st entirely, s > much so that a number of very large cattish, which had lived for many years in the centre of the lake, were almost uncovered in the shallow water, and an easy prey to any one that wanted them. But when a few of them were taken out they were seen to be thin, scrawny and unhealthy lookiug, so that no one cared to take them away. Now, there are no other fish in fresh water that look so much like whales as cattish do, and it struck young O'Brien that rules and regulations applying to sick whales might also apply to sick cattish, and he asked \he owner of the land If he could have the tish. The owner was glad to get rid cf them, and t.o'd O'Brien he could nave them and welcome If he would take them away before they dkd and spoiled. The h iv Wf.dod out lutn the mud aud mire and cap'ured the ti-h, which 1 wsre of great, hi/.*, mauy of tnem as much as 00 p ?u/iis ia weight, and carrying them t IT to a secluied spot, he cut them up aud found, as he had hoped, that nearly evuy one of them was ti tted out, as sick whales often are, with a goodly amount of that valuable article, ambergris, which Is sometimes found tloating ou the surface of the ocean. The boy found In the tish 40 pou ids of ambirgris, and so d It to a chemist for $40 a pound, or a total of 11,000, which was more than the tract of land where the swamp lay was worth altogether. The man who gave O'Brien the tirh was inclined to make trouble about the matter, but Ills lawyers told him he had no case whatever and he dropped it. Will Take Oouraice. In a brief autoprophioil sketch, Anus Luck, who represented a New Hampshire district in congress seme tifty years ago, describes the growth of the cause with which he idenxitiod himself and the succe s of those who espoused that ciuse. The Commoner says In the course of his comments he gives expression to a sentiment which deserves to he emphasized at this time. lie said that these men had "some tide to he considered far sighted," he adds, "they simply had faith in the wisdom of doing right." This has been expressed before, hut it is doubtful whether it has ever been ex pressen as concisely, as simply and as forcibly. The dictionaries ought to | detine political foresight as "faith in the wisdom of doing right " What a contrast between this candid recognition of the triumph of the truth and the miserable, shoat sighted doctrine of exedlency! There Is no basis upon which one can calculate expediency, there is a standard of morality and conscience by which one can measure ?veey public question. One seeks for expediency as the hunter searches for game, uncertain where he will Had It and fearful Uiat even when discovered It may yet escape him, but as the farmer follows the plow confident that sun and soli will reward his industry and that in spite of local food or drouth the earth will yeild its Increase, so he who attaches himself to a truth knows that he works in harmony with immutable ane (rreeistable laws. Let the democracy take courage form the recent elections; let the democracy of all the states and the democracy of the nation, like the democeecy of Ohio and the democracy of Pennsylvania, appeal to the honest and the conscientious, even If in doing so they risk the alienation of the seltish and the sordid. Let them put their trust not In corruption or deception, but in that sense of j istlce which is at once the source and the guarantee of good government. Terrible Hiory of the He* Third Mate E. G. Price, of the british steamer K.tranna, just arrived at New York from Calcutta, tells of the terrible plight of the crew of the German bark Werra, which thesteamer cime upon a hundred miles north east of Cape Verde Islands. Seven of the bark's crew out of twenty-two, he said, were laid out on below decks about ready to pass over while the rest were so weak they could hardly keep awake. The crew wire suffering from scurvy and starvation. The K >ranna supplied Warra with lime juice and provisions. The sickness was caused by her cargo of redwood fumes which destroyed all food on board with the exception of salt pork and salt beef, and upon these the crew had been subsisting several days.

(ilvo 1'uhltoity to Movrmuut in Tiii State Will Causo tbo People to Think. In view of the fact that an Audubon society is being formed In South Carolina, It will be Interesting to many to know just how the work of this organization is operated elsewhere and what may be accomplished by the Audubon society in this State. Mr, T. G. rearsou, secretary of the National Au dubon society, who Is in tne city, was seen Wednesday morning at the < 111 of the State superintendent of education, where he has made his tempor ary headquarters, and the following statement of the work of the Audubon society In North Carolina was secured lrom him: "During the year UI02, this society was orgunizid In that State and a general call was made for all persons (interested in the protection of birds and game to become members of the society and ooutribute financially to ito support. When the legislature met in Jauuary following, the organization which had then grown to several hundred members, was incorporated with the powers of a State gem 5 commission. The society vai glvjn authority to select game wardens who work under the dlreottou cf the Aucubon society In the enforcement of the bird and izame laws. "A law was also passed requiring non resident hunters coming into the State to secure a hunter's license at a cost of $10. Tne money received from ihis source, together with' the fees and contributions of the members of the society and friends of the bird?, constituted the income of thcpoclety. No State appropriation was asked of the legislature, but the iucorae from thcsr two sources has amounted to about ilO 000 anuually. With this fund, the org imzation has b ien able to employ 46 game wardens In the field, some of whom are paid ov salary, others per diem. "Large quantities of educational lea Hots bearing on the value of various birds to.the agricultural interests of the State have been distribu.ed among the school children and others. Digests of the game laws have been printed on cloth notices and tacked up in conspicuous places throughout the State. As an example of the ex tent to which this educational wurk has been carried forward, it may be stated that during the past year m ire than 2,600,000 pages of printed Information were distributed in the State. This does not include a large number of circulating libraries of bird and nature study books, which are used and enjoyed by hundreds of teachers and children. "Though the activities of ; the game wardens, many persons I aUIltv of violating t.h? i/amn hiws I nave been successfully prosecu'ed in the courts, Since the last annual report, wnlch was Issued in March, 54 convictions have been secured. Tne whole idea of the work is well rec lived among the people generally, and al though the game is not as effectually protected as could be done if a larger fund was at the disposal of the society at the same time, it must be borne in mind that what bu been and is being accomplished does not cost the taxpayers one cent, with the exception of those people who voluntarily subscribe to the support of the organization. "There, is no doubt that the work of the Audubon society is responsible for saving the lives of countless thous adds of birds in all sections of the State, and all reports go to show that not only birds but deer and other game are on the Increase, owing to the vigilance of this organization. "About a year ago the members of the society contributed $1,400 for the building of a launch, which is used by the game warden located near Cape Hatteras, whose special business it is to guard tbe breeding places of the sea birds during the summer months. These valuable and beautiful creatures had been nearly exterminated in North Carolina waters, owing to tbelr wholesale and systematic slaughter by men who killed the birds to get their feathers for the Now Yurk millinery houses. "The lirst year of that protection there were deposited In the breeding colonies about 1.700 eg#s. So greatly did the birds Increase from the protection fcll'jrded them that summer, that the second year about 2,800 were laid, while the past summer, which is the third year, between 0, 000 and 7,000 ckks are known to have been laid aud hatched. "Tne Audubon societies now protect the sea birds in their breeding places alon# the coast of every Atlantic State except South Carolina and Georgia, and it is very important that anttfjrt be made to secure wardens at once for this important region. "Hy means of public speaking by the distribution of literature and the use of circulating libraries, by constant recourse to the press and by the vigilance of its game wardens, the Auiubon society of North Carolina is doing a tremendous work for the preservation of birds and game."

For alleged failure to post certain rates and schedules at North, a station cn the Seaboard Airline liiilway, suit was brought by a cltl/in cf that place for $.12 900 some time ago and a decision was rendered by the supreme court last week, throwing the suit out of the courts. The case was decided by Judge Towsend In the lower or urtvs on a d jmurror entered by the Seaboard, which stated that the complaint was defective and that parts of It were unconstitutional. This dis poses of this suit, b it It is said that another case will be brought shortly, The complaint was one of the most interesting brought in a long time and was as follows: That section 301)2 and 2093 of the civil code of South Carolina provides that the railroad commissioners of said state shall tix a schedule of reasonable freight and p issenger rates for each railroad corporation doing business In tbis state. That the defendant Is a railroad corporation doing business in said state, an 1 that North Is a station on ' said railroad corporation between ( Columbia, S. C., and Denmark, S. 0., but the said station of North is wholly within the state of South Carolina. That the railroad commissioners of said state more tlian one year prior to the commencement of this action ilx ed a tchedulc of freight and passenger iates for the defeudeut corporation. That section 2093 of the civil code or South Carolina provides that any railroad corporation failing to post at any of its stations a c )py of the schedules aforesaid shall Incur and sutler a penalty of one hundred dollars for each and every day during which time such corporation shall fail to post su ih schedule aud that such penalty may be sued for by any oltl/.eu of the said state, and the recovery shall he equally divided between the citizen 10 suing and the state of South Oaro lln*. Tnat the defendcnt failed to post nnc 1 schedules at toe said station of North, S C., from .January i, 1903, to 1) cember 9, 1903, a period of three huudnd and twenty-nine days, and and that thereby the defendant has incurred and is liable for a penalty aggregating thirty-?wo thousand nine uuudrcd dollars. Tliat the pUintUV is a cit zdn of the said state, and suts for the said penalty of thirty-two thousand nine hundred dollars according to the provisions of section 2093 of the code.

His elfort to make the acts of all public servants an onen hook that all t ho taxnavprH may know the exact status of their own interests will not detract any from his popularity. The people have been getting a waste of publicity and they are now demanding it to the fullest extent. Designing politicians may not like the idea of publicity,but the people have learned that it is the proper way to curb the grafter, and that It is better to prevent the mis use of funds than to punish thos who are recretnt, after the funds have been dissipated. Removal of the temptation for graft and punishment to the fullest extent of those who are false to their trust ought to bring about a better condliijn of alTairs in all municipalities.

Tho story of the career of Dan Murphy. the escaped convict who is said . to have been captured at Swalnsboro, Ga., has recalled some singular Incidents In connection with tne oc iur ence. It was published In The Hu?te on Tuesday of last week that the amount taken from the body of Treasurer Copes was *10,000. The State of Wednesday says "the accuracy of this statement has been questioned by two former oitlzsnB of Orangeburg, one of whom says that the murdered treasurer had ou his person but $1,000 < and another former citizen of that j place states that the amount was not more than $I2f>. 'Tn one particular they both agree. 1 Tne money was not found by the mur- 1 j derer. Treasurer Copes had the bulk 1 of the money In his pocket whore it ' was not discovered. Tne money which 1 the assassin secured was not more 1 than $HJ, principally in pennies. Tne 1 oowaraiy murderer perhaps did not stop to open the hand bag, whose weight no doubt deceived him into thinking that it contained currency of value when as a matter of fact it was tilled with one cent pieces. And upon that depended the conviction of 1 Murphy. l aw crime startled the State and for acme time there was no clue. It la said by one of those Orangeburg gentlemen that the case was ferreted cut by Mr. Ueo. H. Klttrell, a man of Inquiring and Investigating turn of mind, who got his tirat clue from an examination of the subscription books of a county paper. He discovered that Just 30 days before the murder a man from some point In Florida had subscribed for this paper for a short period. On Investigation It was found that the paper waH going to the fictitious address given, but Had been taken out of the postotllce by Dan Murphy. If there was any remtlve at all In tills move It was that the man planning toe robbery might know the aates on which the county treasurer would make his rounds from town to town hi tne discharge of his duty as taxgatherer, as was permitted under ! the law of that time. "In tois way Murphy's name was for tne first time connected wilh the all'atr, even by suspicion. Murpny was 1 tnen followed and It was found that ai 1 a remote place In (Jolleton county be 1 bad exchanged a large number of pennies for silver. Tills was another 1 link in the chain. 1 "Flnanly it was discovered that Murphy had a shot gun which showed * certain characteristics noticed In connection with the shells tired in the ' gun which Kinea Mr. uopes. The plunger struck the shell In a peculiar plunger struck the shell in a peculiar 1 manner winch c ^responded exactly with Murphy's gun. "These facts taken in connection 1 with Murphy's stolidity when arrest- 1 ed and his refusal to say anything In answer to charges or to excuse himself In any way wound the rope around his neck. The evidence was circumstantial In the m In, hut had he been lnnooent he might have proved an alibi, when his neck was in danger. However, he would ?ay nothing and would tell nothing of his movements or 10 days proceeding the killing. "as recounted yesterday, he was convicted and sertcncedto be banged and the very afternoon before the ex ecutlon he was given a commutation of sentence on an alibi framed up in Augusta, it Is said, by relatives of Murphy. This alibi was discredited oy the people of Orangeburg to the extent that they cried out In criticism of the governor who at that time granted the commutation and of the attorneys employed by Murphy's relatives. "It is said by parties who knew Murphy at school that he was not a man of nerve, but was a skulking coward, and that he was a black sheep all of his life, his main occupation after being grown having beeu the peddling of lluuor at negro nimn meeting*."

The Nome of a Millionaire Resident of Patterson. New Jersey, Robbed While He Wai Attending Revival Service. Safe.Thrown Prom Window. A $70,000 jewel robbery, cngineerid with remarkable delicacy and daring, occured Inj Patterson, N. J., Thursday fnlght, when the^home of Frederick W. Cooke, millionaire memoer of the P issalc Steel Company, and >ue of the bant known men in Northern New Jersey, was entered and a heavy safe, containing practically every bit of jewelry in the family possession, was hurled from :l second itory window to the soft dirt in a yard and carted away. Absolutely no trace of the direction the housebreakers t:>ok could fmmri by the police. Toe..8k111 of the robbers was amazing- They used no tackle to lower Uio safe, the content# of which wore diamond* and other gems, currency and valuable papers. The only attempt to hide their pres once was made when they chose the rear of the house by which to escape with their loot. Mr. Cooke went to the Chapman revival meeting about 8 o'clock, and remained there until the end of the services. He returned promptly to his home at No. 384 Broadway. No evldeuc38 of the roberry were found by the millionaire when he opened the door which was socurely locked, but when he reached the second floor he found a window open. Tnis was unusual, and he investigated. Thinking of the safe, which contained jewels left by Mr. Cooke's mother to his wife, he entered the room where the steel device, about two feet square, had been stored. It was gone. Looking out the window the victim saw a hole in the turf of the yard. He descended and found a dent such as the corner of the safe would have made had it been dropped. It made no noise when in struck the ground, and the burglars presumably tigureu on this ruse for avoiding attention. The police were Immediately notified, but not even the suggestion of a clew to the robbers could be found. Nobidy had seen a vehicle standing opposite or near the Cooke home, and it is certain tiiat the looters did not carry olT their booty by baud. When Mr. Cooke's mother died she left all her jewels, worth many thousands of dollars, to her son's wife. There were family heirlooms worth just as much in the safe, and jewelry belonging to the millionaire's wife and to himself, besides valuable papers nuiuu XTir. <jjom cannot air jrd to lose.
