., v ...v ,- -,. 'rilK L.FCJDOKl< POBLISHfcD TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. BY Ed. H. DkCamp. A DISGRUNTLED DEMAGOGUL. Having twice voted for Mr. Grover Cleveland and having twice done the same thing for Mr. William Jennings Bryan we feel we have a right to say what we please about these distin* guished gentlemen, so long as we couch it in language that is printable. We didn’t like it because Mr. Cleve land did not support Mr. Bryan. We honestly believed that it was about as little a thing as the Sheriff could have done to honor the party that had honored him enough to support heart ily its nominee. But he didn’t do it. That was his prerogative and he ex ercised it. Mr. Bryan has seen fit to pour it into Mr. Cleveland and his friends at every opportunity, but the latter has shown his good sense by treating the vitriolic utterances of Mr. Bryan with silent contempt. By his action in this regard and his public utterances since he left the White House he has gained the respect and admiration of a great many people. We invite the attention of our read ers to the following utterances of Mr. William J. Bryan, delivered at Kansas City Mo., Monday night, of last week or more properly speaking, Tuesday morning, at a banquet given by the Jackson County Democratc Club and newspaper men of Missouri, compli mentary to Senator Wm. J. Stone. Mr. Bryan was responding to the toast ‘Democracy “We invite all who have strayed from the fold to come ba;k if they so desire, but we want them to stay in after they come. We had four years of Cleveland and after his adminis tration was over we found ourselves weaker than we had ever been before because we had been betrayed by these so-called harmonizers. Cleve land and bis followers showed their nearness to Republicans by deserting us in our hour of greatest need and supporting the Republicans. The Democratic party won a great victory in 1892 which gave our party a great opportunity, but Cleveland betrayed the Democratic party, and it carried the burden of his administration through the national campaign. Cleveland had the best opportunity the Democratic party ever had offered to any man since the time af Andrew Jackson, but instead of being true to them he failed. As a party we must stand true to the Democratic princi ples, and if we do I believe that a Democratic victory will come and it will be here to remaim when it comes 'He is of the highest service to his fol lowers who can give the highesti deal.’ There has been a lowering of ideals in this country. Money is talked about morning ind night. Commerce is the curse of the country. The foreigner .has come to regard the American simply as a money maker, and we give cause for this in that we put nothing beyond wealth, and mon ey is ruling the country with an iron hand. There never was a time when the people were more ready to accept Democratic principles than now. I would not give one Democratic voter who really believes in Democratic principel for a whole barrel of Dem ocratic voters and compromise who pretend.” Mr. Billy J. Bryan is a nice duck, indeed, to quack about anybody dis rupting the Democratic party. He, a Populist, by the good graces of the Democratic party was elevated to the leadership of the party twice and made a dismal failure, and now he condescends to abuse the only man who has successfully lead the Demo cratic party to victory in forty years. Note again, what he says about money and commerce being the curse ot the country. It’s a pity Mr. Bryan has been able to wring from the peo ple a comfortable competence by the use of bis glib tongue, for if he had been compelled to earn his fortune in the commercial field, where men have to give some real value for what they get, he might have been less fortu nate and might not have experienced the curse of the possession of money. Mr. Bryan is a loud-mouthed polit ical demagogue who has no apprecia tion of what the Democratic party has done for him, for heaven knows he has done nothing for it but tear it asun der. It is high time he cease his va poring and let some one take hold of the reins who has the ability to keep the band wagon of Democracy on the improved highway of prosperity. Get down, Mr. Bryan, the day of the demagogue is drawing to a close. KAYBL TRIBESMEN SEND Demand Dismissal of Sultan’s Tax Collectors. THREATEN TO ATTACK TETUAN. Pasha In Command of Sultan's Forces Appeals to All IVien Capable of Bear ing Arms to Assist In Defending the Town. Madrid, April 22.—A special dis patch from Mellilla, Moiocco, says Muley Mohammed, the sultan’s broth er, has been proclaimed emperor at Fez. A dispatch from Tangier April 1? said the sultan had again offered the crown to his brother, Muley Moham med, who had refused it. It was add ed in a dispatch from Mellilla, the same day that the sultan accompa nied by his brother had started for Taza, the headquarters of the preten der, and that great excitement prevail ed at Fez. Advices from Meleu, Morocco, say that Kahyle tribesmen besieging the port of Tetuan have sent an ultimatum to the pasha in command of the sul tan's forces demanding the dismissal of the sultan’s tax coliectors and say ing that otherwise they will attack Tetuan. The pasha refused the de mand of the Kabyles and appealed to all men capable of bearing arms to as sist in the defense of the town. LaCROSSE HAS BAD FIRE. Largest Store in Western Wisconsin Completely Destroyed. LaCrosse, Wis., April 22.—Fire last night completely destroyed the Park store, the largest in western Wiscon sin, and did much damage to surround ing buildings, causing a loss of ap proximately $50,000. The fire start ed in a mysterious manner in the rear of the store, and within 30 minutes after the fire was discovered the en tire plant was ablaze. The building, which was 3 stories high, and extended over a quarter of a square, was filled from cellar to garret with all sorts of inflammable matter and the fire department could d® nothing to stop the flames. $25,000 Fire In Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind., April 22.—Early this morning fire did $25,000 damage to the Maihan tailoring building at the corner of Meridian and Washington streets, and $10,000 to the Haerle dry good's store next door.

CURSED JUDGE ON THE BENCH. James Burns Must Hang for His Crime. Jackson, Miss., April 22.—The su preme court has affirmed the death sentence of James Burns, convicted in the circuit court of Covington county on the charge of murder, and the date of execution is fixed for June 9 th. Burns is a white man, formerly a citizen of Massachusetts, and he was convicted of killing a companion in h railroad camp near Williamsburg. When the jury returned a verdict ol guilty Bruns surprised the court by cursing Judge Enochs, who was pre siding, in a most abusive manner. The appeal was taken merely as a means of delay, no bill of exceptions or sug gestion of error having been filed with the court. Oil Refinery For Columbus. Columbus, Ga., April 22.—Colum- bus hopes to secure the cotton oil re finery which is to be established at some point in the southeast by the independent cotton oil manufacturers of Georgia, Alabama and other states In this section. A committee repre »«nting the independent cotton oil mills is in the city inspecting some el Iglble sites which are offered. Colum bus is an ideal place for an enterprise of this character, for a number ol reasons. Some thirty Independent cot ton oil manufacturers will be inter ested in the refinery, it is understood KrneHt Cash Ion Captured. Blacksburg, April 27.—Ernest L. Cashion, who, several months ago, procured quite a sum of money from the merchants and the bank at this place by the giving of bogus checks, and then skipped, has been arrested at Pine Bluff, Ark. Policeman J. C Duncan, of this place, left Saturday night for the purpose of bringing him back. It is said, however, by the friends of Oanhlon, that he will not return without requisition papers. Fitting Clrcumatancoft to Thoorloa. [Hpurtanburn Herald.] The press of the state seems to think that McLaurin’s appointment as vice president of a big trust is the reward that was coming to him from the party of the trusts. It seems to us this is a case of fitting circumstan ces to theories.—Florence Times. The Times is eminently correct. There is no political significance whatever in the fact that an eminent lawyer, ex-United States Senator and business man of marked ability, should be chosen to manage a large industrial enterprise. Those whq are determined to see only the mis takes of a politician cannot.be expect ed to be fair judges, but when they stretch the point of making accept ance of the management of a ten million dollar concern by a man who is out of politics, to be a “reward” for his vote in the senate, it is evi dence of ignorance mingled with malice. Corporations do not reward “hired men” in that way. Senator McLaurin is out of politics and it is not likely that he will ever have aspirations in that direction again; but the fact remains that he was treated unfairly and was not given a square deal. He dared to differ from Ben Tillman and he was damned. FreHh Lot Just Received.
