In a collision in Louisiana
between a passenger train and
a bull, two men were killed
and the train put out of busi
ness, The dispatches are
silent as to the fate of the bull,
but we suppose he escaped
unhurt.
Mil Bryan has written a
letter to a New York politi¬
cian in which he rerers to the
Parker movement as anything
but crcditable-to the Demo¬
cratic party, lie refers to the
supporters of Judge Parker as
bolters in 1896 and 1900 and
accuses them of employing
“burglarious methods” for
the purpose of foisting upon
the party “a speechless candi¬
date and a meaningless plat¬
form.”
A young Pennsylvanian
has set out to teach marriage¬
able maidens a lesson by ex¬
ample. He wishes them to
understand that they have not
all of the privileges on their
side, such as jilting a man at
will. He asserts that it hurts
a man to be jilted just as much
as it hurts a girl, therefore, he
has appealed to a court to give
him $5,000 damages against
the girl who jilted him after an
engagement cf five mohths.

The “Thomas Jefferson Bi¬
ble” is to be printed by the
government. The real title
of the compilation, which Jef¬
ferson gave it, is ‘ ‘The Morals
of Jesus of Nazareth.” Some
people have regarded this only
unpublished work of Jefferson
as irreligious, but competent
critics have declared that it is
just the opposite; that it shows
a high order or reverence and
brings out strongly the perfect
code of morals taught by pre¬
cept and exaihple by Jefus.
Moved by fanciful stories
lately published, Gen. Curtis
Lee has addressed a letter to
the Confederate Memorial
Literary Society at Richmond,
Va., saying that to the best of
his knowledge all the swords
that his father, Gen. Robert
E. Lee, ever possessed re¬
main in the possession of
members of his family. He
also recalls that the oft repeat¬
ed story, “unobjectionable if
true, ” of the tender and re¬
turn of Gen. Lee’s sword at
Appomattox is emphatically
denied by Gen. Grant in his
memoirs.
We have received several
communications lately from
friends of Gen. Forrest, de¬
fending him from an alleged
attack made*on him by Gen.
Stephen D. Lee. In our opin¬
ion Gen. Forrest needs no de¬
fense. lie left a record for
intrepid daring and splendid
fighting that will always be a
monument to his memory and
to his greatness as a com¬
mander of men. Forrest, like
other fighters, has had to bear
the blame for blunders made
by men higher in authority on
the field of battle. The peo¬
ple long ago learned that
when a commander makes a
blunder which loses a battle,
he hunts for a scapegoat, and
generally finds him. Gen.
Forrest has been made to do
the scapegoat service more
than once, but the lustre
which surrounds his name has
never been dimmed.—Chatta¬

.The imperialistic policy of
the republican administration
reached its limit when the su
preme court <>f .the United
.States handed down a major¬
ity opinion denying the right
of trial by jury to the inhabit¬
ants of the Philippines. This
exercise of paternalism is the
latest and most convincing
proof that the liberties guar¬
anteed by the constitution are
to he doled out piecemeal, to
be bartered away as opportu¬
nities present themselves.
Whenever the republican par¬
ty has been in power it has
played fast and loose with the
constitution. The sacred doc¬
ument was decleared to be
“covenant with hell” when
southerners pleaded it in be¬
half of their cause. Amend¬
ments were tacked on ad
libitum when the south was
disfranchised and y^frard helpless.
More out of malice the
south than from any ^ense ballot of
justice or of right the
was given to the* negro at a
time when he was wholly and
totally unfitted (to exercise it.
Today the lot of the labor¬
ing man in Germany is in
many respects better than that
of ours. The German state
recognizes the right of every
man to live—we do not.
When the German laborer be
*
comes old or feeble the state
pensions him honorably. In
Germany the laboring man
can ride on the electric cars
for 2 cents'—we pay 5. Ger
man cities have public baths,
public laundry establishments,
big parks, free concerts and
many other feafures which
soften poverty— although they
do not remove it. The coral
lary to this is that the emperor
permits no tramps <o terrorize
his highways. X^ e police are
.well-as organized city for work, rural jpgtrol :ls
aq t \* every
loafer is stopped and^.ade himself. to
give an account of
Ip England vagrancy has been
a public nuisance for genera¬
tions—with us it has become
of late years almost a public
danger. Germany has no
tramps. The man who is
without work in Germany
finds no inducement to remain
idle. A parental government
sets him to such hard work
that the would-be unemployed
finds it decidedly to his inter¬
est to seek some other em¬
ployment as soon as possible.
