The unklndeat cut of all was the action
of Nebraska Mr. Bryan certainly had a
right to expect to carry his own state.
••We went for It for all we were worth."
said Senator Hanna, lo speaking of Ne
braska. adding, "but we did not expect
to carry It." Were extraordinary efforts
put forth In that state by the Republi
cans for the purpose of humiliating the
Democratic candidate?
Vlcter Smith assents In the New York
Press that every time Richard Cnoker
made a bet on the recent election be went
Into Wall street and hedged by pure bas
ic, * stocks st tha low figures that pre
vailed Just before the contest at the
polls According lo Mr. Smith, Croker
knew that If McKinley should be elected
the storks would advanco In price as a
oonaequene* sufficiently to counterbalance
his election beta, while If Bryan ware
elected him beta would be sufficient lo
wipe out his loaaes on tha street. Mr
Smith calculates that Mr. Croker’s Wall

In commenting a day or two ago on tht
necessity for a reorganisation of tha Dem
ocratic early Mr. Carlisle express'd th*
opinion that Southern Democrats should
taka tha lead In the matter, for th* ret
son rhat Democrats of the South are th*
basis of th* party. This opinion Is worth
vory careful consideration The real hou.h
la solidly Democratic. There are only a
tew elate* u, th* North which, a. or ding
to th* recant election, have a majority of
Democrats.
We do not believ* that the prepent l
the time for attempting a reorganization
hut when the time comes, the South ought
to sake the plac* sleighed to her by Mr
Carlisle be,*ue she I* hatter fitted o
lead the party back to tha principles with
which it won so many victories before It
became mixed up with the heresies of
Populism and silver Republicanism, and
to dee, with th* new condition* wish
which ihe people ara confior:ted
There are danger* In organised capital
for which there must be a remedy, and
there w a spirit of commerclallpm Hi
poßtlcs which must he checked In the
North ant, ng Democrat* a well s< among
Republicans, th* dollar dominates every
thing Such is not She esse in the South,
mainly for the reason probably that thera
Is comparatively little wealth here.and the
willingness therefore to make everything
secondary to money is not eo great There
I# atlll strong attachment to the early
purposes of the republic. The people feel
that If tha republic la ta endure every
thing must not be sacrificed to money get
ting.
There k> no doubt tha! the tendency of
iho Republican patsy will be more ihm
ever, since Its great victory of last Tuet
•lay, towards the centralisation of power,
and that it will be to a greater extent
than ever before under th* domlnaisoh of
capital In she hands of trusts and syndi
cates Is almost certain. If the govern
ment M to ha kep! In Ihe control of the
paeipl#. therefore, it tnnil be by the Dem
ocratic party, and It ihust be by a Dem
ocratic patsy reorganised and largely di
rected by tha South, because, a* already
stated. Southern Democrats are much
lea* under the Influence of the money
power than those of tb* North.
IhDCPEftiyiLTT ELECTOR* IN THE
ROl Ttf-
The Macon Telegraph does not think
that tha South has much to hope for
from either the Democrats or the Repub
licans off th# North. Tlirrefore It suggests
that the "South should go Into th* atac
*°TSl college Independent of any party of
the North, at least until they repeal th*
fifteenth amendment, and there make
term*."
Th* plan might be made effective, but
It 1* not exactly clear how. Th* electors
hav* no autholrty to do anything except
to cast their votes. They cannot m-dto
terms, if they should vote contrary to
the wishes of those who elected them
they would provoke s revolution.
Wtfh whom. therefore, could th#
Southern elector# make terms? Certainly
not with th# party leaders. Th# leaders
could not go outside of tho platforms of
their respective parties. They would hove
no power to do to. That being th* case
the South would b* Just as Well oft by
making a choice of a platform before th*
election.
Tarty policies ars formed In national
oonventiona On new questions they
sometime* originals In Oongrras. As far
as w# can see, the South's only chanc* to
mak* her Influence fell for her special
benefit In national affairs, I* to send her
ablest men to the national convention* of
tho party of her choice, and to Congress
Bine# th* War of Secession she has been
altogether too willing to follow tha lend
ot tha Northern I >*moerary Her public
men should ba mor* Independent. There
were abler statesmen In the South prior
to th* War of Secession than In any other
part of tha country, and there ara men
ta th* South now who ar* better fitted
to Bad tb* Democratic party than thd*a
who have been directing Its fortune* m

W* may not ** the ntlr# scop* of th*

EVII)EX( E or A TRUST.
Purlnr th# campaign Senator Hanna
aatd there were no trust* What do*** hr
<tell tha combination which has retard the
pries of all kind* of meat on* cent a
pound? If Uier* were not a meat trust
why I* It that the prtfe w* raised by ail
the packers at tha same time?
Another Interesting question I*, why was
not tbs price raised unlit after tb* elec
tion? Waa tha truat afraid that If tt put
up the price before elect 100 there would
be eelampede from fhe Republican party?
And why would It not ba aa willing for
cha Demorratio party to aucraad aa tha
Republican party’ la not tha answer
plain? Tha Republican party la lha friend
of truat*. No doubt they contributed
much of tha money with which tha alac
tlon waa won by tha Republicans.
It Is useless for the Republicans to aay.
after this evidence that the trusts favor
ed them, that they are not friendly to
trusts. It la a safe prediction that-during
the neat four years there will be nothing
done to check lha trust evil. The trusts
will own the government as completely
as If they had purchased It and paid their
money for U.
The packers say that they have been
selling meat at a loss for ala months
Would they be willing to show thetr books
to prove that statement? If they have
been losing how la It they have been pay
ing dividends? Why la If that there ha*
been nothing heard lo the effect that th<
great packing firms wars lending towards
bankruptcy?
By raising the price of all kinds of meat
one cent a pound It Is estimated that tha
packers will put 135.0,0t> a year In their
pockftw And rau ti of this money will
! come from poor people—people who can
not afford to pay more than they were
; paying before the raise—and It doesn't ap
i pear that • single cent of this vast sum
it In I" to tha meat producers— the faf
| mers and cattle raisers. Tie Increase m
. tha price of meat la one of the ftrat fruits
I of tha recent Republican victory.

One of Ingulla' Gensa.
A few day# ago. saya tha Atchison
Olobe. the following paper was found In
lh late John J. Ingalls' desk. It refers
to a visit to the site of his old home on
the river bluff, burned many years ago:
"Was It on this pi met wa lived alone
and loved in youth* enchanted kingdom.
amPl the forests and l>y the great lonely
river, looking with mtng.ed g.vie at th*
eastern bluffs, purpled by the autumnal
sunset, or at iho wan face of the moon
citmmg with sad steps the mklnlght sky,
or wee It on some remote star In some
other life, recalled with rapture and long
ing unutterable ami unavailing? TANARUS),
death in lift , the days that are no more.'
"The crumbling excavation* scarce dis
cernible among the vines and weeds and
brambirs. deserted and inaeeeaa ble. an
cient as Palmyra or Pcraepolls In seeming
wa* this th* iheager whereupon was en
acted Ihe Intoxicating drama, the swact
tragedy of human passton, grief, Joy and
endless separation? what de
vious wanderings of the soul; what dark
ened vistas: what trepidation; what strug
gle and solace; what achievement and de
feat: what splemkxr and what gootrx
"The river hows, end the landscape I#
unchanged. Nature mocks with her per
manence the mutability of man, and tn
that steadfast presence, recwlllng life#
vanishing glory and bk-om. and lew of
morning, how worthies# and vmpty ap
pear all that time gives comparni with
irftat It bears Insatiably away. How
gladly would we exchange the p kzes rf
ambition, and fame, and wealth for the
splendid consecration of youth—'WlH
with regret, the days are no more."
They Had All I-oat One.
An ptd gentleman, evidently a gatherer
of statistics, but with a kindly face which
shaued off to something like philanthropy
about the nigra, was gaxlng abstractedly
down Ki-gi ni street. 1-ondnn, says TU-
Bits. Suddenly he stepped up to a gen
tleman who wa* waiting for a bus, and.
touching him lightly on the shoulder, said:
"Excuse me. but dut you just drop a sov
ereign?" hold.tig out tn his hand the coin
mentioned.
The gentleman questioned made a hasty
search of hi* pocket* and said: "Why eo
I did! And I hadn't trussed Ml" holding
out an eager Imnd.
The old man drew forth a note-book and
took his name and addres, and then said:
"1 though sck" turning away.
"Well,” said the other, "do you want
It all as a reward?
"I d'.d not And one." said the old man,
"but it struck me hut In a large city Ilka
thia there must be a lot of money lost,
and upon inquiry I And you are tha thlr
ty-Arst man who has lost a sovereign this
very morning.”
Genuine Gratitude.
Tha portly gentleman In the black cuta
way coat lighted hi* cigar, leaned against
the bar and puffed away contentedly, says
the New York Mall and Expresa. L4ke
most New York barrooms It waa a cosmo
politan place, full of many aorta of peo
ple. A lean, hungry-looklng individual.with
grimy hands and the beard of an anarch
ist. approached the portly gentleman cau
tiously.
"I aay. boss, could you not let me have
a nickel." he began tentatively.
"What's the trouble?" asked the other.
"Well, you see, the fact Is I haven't a
cent, and 1 was out on an awful spree
last night—and I want a beer."
He got the nickel He looked at the cojn
•neditalively for a time, and then at hi*
benefactor.
"Say." he rjoculated at last, "you're a
good fellow I wish I had another nickel
so I could treat you."

A a the Small Boy Wrote tt.
A teacher tn one of Boston's public
school* had instructed her pupil* in hy

the end of the term, wishing to sea how
well they could remember, told them to
each write out a little etory of the hu
man body. The following is copied from
the “rlory" one small boy handed her.
with the con A leni assurance that he knew
t wa* nil right, for he had studied very
hard over It:
“The human body te divided Into three
parts: the bead, tha thorax, and the abdo

"The head contains the brains. If there

Now pull down the colored poster.
Hide It from the sight of men;
Ttit aside the cami-oign banner.
Let the old flag Ay again!
Toss the torch upon the ash heap
Put the marching suit away.
