The New York Sun. the nut hiiIi
Kervient of all the servile tools of pre
datory wealth, lian with rharaeterlstir
inemlaclty misrepresented anil then at
tacked one part of Mr. Ilryan's speech.
In speaklns of the Aldrich hill. Mr.
Hiyan Raid that It provided for the loan
of aliout three hundred millions of
government money to pet hanks at one
and one-half per cent, or ahoiii I'o.ir
and a half million dollars, lie con
demned It. among other reasons, he-
aiiHe It would furnish the hasls of an
.normouH corruption fund and ho
pointed out that three hundred mil
lions of government money loaned hy
the hanks at four and a half per cent
would Rive the hanks nine millions a
year ahove tho Interest paid the gov
ernment, or thirty-six millions in four
years. He then siiKKested that hy Riv
ing one-fourth of this sum the hanks
could supply a ramnalKii fund of nine
millions, or enough to buy four hun
dred and fifty, thousand votes at $-(
apiece enough votes to have changed
the result of the lust national election.
This argument was made against the
Aldrich hill and had no reference to
past campaigns. The Sun so distorts
the ahove argument as to make it refer
to the laKt campaign and then bitterly
denounces Mr. llryan.
That the republican party spent enor
mous sums In both IS'.tti and WOO is well
known, but no democrat has been able
to ascertain the exact amount, nor
have the republican managers pub
lished any statement showing how it
was expended, but it must lie apparent
to all that the corporations I hat put
up the money biive dominated the ad
ministration. This is the question
that papers like the Sun fall to meet.
- On this question they nre silent. The
Sun has even praised the president for
surrendering on the trust question -it
congratulated him on his masterly re
treat. The great trouble Is that the
government Is being used hy the repre
sentative of organized wealth to ad
vance their business enterprises and
papers like the Sun are run for no
higher purposes than to aid In the de
ception of the public. The Sun dares
not state the proposition fairly be
cause it can neither disprove nor defend,
ItOOSKVELT ON TDK PARITY.
More than a year ago Mr. Roosevelt,
speaking at Princeton. 111., said: "Our
currency laws need such modification
as will Insure tho parity of every dol
lar coined or Issued by the govern
ment." How does It happen that Mr.
Roosevelt has done nothing to bring
about the result he said was so desir
able? Is It pocslblo that Mr. Moose
veil has discovered that the parity of
every dollar coined or issued by the
government wna long ago Insured
even before the time when the repub
lican leaders pay the American people
declared In favor of the rlngle gold
standard hy electing to power a pollt
hal party whose platform declared In
favor of International bimetallism?
President Roosevelt has again tailed
attention to bin civil service views by

DIVISION' AND .SII.KNVI-:."
The Nashville Banner Hives Its read
ers tv pplemlid sample of the political
immorality of the reoi'Kaiik'.ers. It
complains heianse Mr. Bryan points !o
the corrupt use of mon.'.v hy the demo
cratic lenders ill IMC and piotesis
nualust a repetition of the nitthoiib
then employed. The Banner tays:
"Ills persislrnl accusations of cor
ruption against the democrat lc party
of 1X!C come with poor urate from a
man who has twice hecn the nominee
of the party, and who now professes
to he a 'democratic leader anxious for
thp party's a.u-eesa. If he knew :ui.h
things to be true, as he alleges, it would
become him to keep quiet. Revela
tions of that kind should he left to the
enemy."
If there Is any lower moral plane
than tills the Banner ought to point
It out. for nnl.'ss It does, its readers
will he Justified In believing that it has
reached the bottom. This would seem
to he on a ):ar with the hoodler'a max

In its own than in his neighbor's
family It Is Impossible for the demo
(ratlc party to condemn corruption in

ranks. The trouble with the Bann-r
is thai It is committed to the cause
of organised wealth and recognl'.es
that money must he used to purchase

Henry Watterson refuses to be ree-
oncilrd, anil In his anger and stubborn
ness he falls Into the mhtake made by
so many who are. blinded hy their pas
sions, lie declares that "the demo
cratic party nerds votes." and that "on
tho lines of ls:it; and P'Oli it lost them."
Mr. Watlerson's mere dictum will not
sulllce he will have to prove that the
parly lost votes In those two cam
paigns. And In view of the fact that
the parly's candidates in 1S!C polled
more votes than had ever before been
east for the candidal) s of any parly,
and the further fact that thU record
was almost equalled In l'.ioo, Mr. Wat
lerson's statement, will be taken with
a large grain of salt by those who ar.
not so healed menially as to miss seo-

he "will refuse to be a party to It."
This is sad. but In view of the fact

VKRY VIGOROl'S COMPLIMENT.
The Dubuque (la.) Telegiaph pays
Its compliments to the Chicago Chron
icle In tills way: "Il is esteemed as
the narrowed, most bigoted, nicst un
reasonable, and ahles-t disciple of pre
dntory wealth In the country. It knows
everything; nothing Is hard or impos
clble to it; who disagrees with It Is a
liar, a demagogue, or a bedraggled ex
pounder of anarchy. It would snuff
out the life of everyone who opposes
the designs of Its hidden plutocratic
owner, and the vulture-like, vampire
like, parasitic class of which he Is
typically representative. The Chroni
cle Is. In Its own estimation, Impecca
ble. The opposition can have not even
the 'lightest element of Justice on its
side. It is wrong, all wrong, and,
worse yet. Is slinking through alleyB

cocked revolver waiting for an oppor
t unity to shoot the llrst passer-by
through sheer lust of murder."
KIGIIT YEARS SINCE.
The Indianapolis News says: "It has
been eight years since the great battle
was fought for the gold standard, and
yet the country has not yet fully en-
iovetl the results of that victory. For
our currency and hanking systems are
still unreformed, and the gold stand
ard has not been solidly established
as the republicans themselves admitted
in the campaign of 1i00." It will be
temcmbered that eight years ago the
republican party declared In favor of
International bimetallism; ami yet the
News, like other republican publica
tions. insls.ts that in lSIifi, whllo one
party stood for independent bimetal
lisin and another party pretended to
stand for international bimetallism, the
latter party, being elecietl to power,
rreelved a commission to support the
single gold standard.
STRONG FOR HARMONY.
In an editorial entitled "Bryan as an
Alllletlon," the Chicago Chronicle Inti
mates that Mr. Bryan is "a mere
mouther, a cheeky upstart, a blatant
demagogue, a hypocrite and phnrisee.
a slick adveuturer, a grasping money
maker, a subservient tool of rich ami
ambitious men, a slanderer of his bet
ters antl a promoter of hate and strife
and revolution." Of course, this Is not
altogether important, but it is Inter
esting by way of showing the fine spirit
in which the reorganizes approach
their great task of harmonizing tho
demoeintic party.

An evamir.ulk.n o! the records at
the oif.ee of the secretary of state has
revealed the fact that an amendment I
to the title of the act of IsST was not .
copied In the journal of the procei-il i
intrs iirohahlv ivudcrim; the amend- '
.n,.nts void Th a-. no ramblers in I

l'he law amended is sections 'Jit uiul
"l.'t of the code of criminal procedure.
relating to gambling ami the keeping,
of gaming tallies, devices and ma i
chines of any description. Previous;
to 1 SS7 the penalty fur gambling wa. ,
a fine of not exceeding $iun or I in I
prlsonment in the c ty jail l.ot more
tnan three months. The penally fori
keeping a gaming table was a tine ofj
not less than $.10 nor more than $loo. ;
The legislature of, 1SS7 amended this ;
law, the act being known' as senate j
tile OS of that session. This bill was!
introduced under the title of "A bill j
for an act to amend sections 211 and j
213 of the criminal code." I'uder thisj
title it was read three times mid pass-i
ed by the senate. No amendment to
the title appearing in the records of
the proceeding!) of the senate, It was
read in the house tinder the title "A
bill for an act to amend sections 214
and 213 of ie criminal code and to
provhlo for ttie recovery of money or
other property lost in gambling."
The Journals of tho house and sen
ate fail to disclose when this amend
meM to the title was made. The bill
was then read In the house for the
third time and passed tinder the or
iginal title. It was then presented to
tho governor under the title "A bill
for an act to amend sections 211 and
215 of the criminal code and to pro
vide for the recovery of money or
other property lost in gambling, and
to repeal said original sections." The
Journals of both house and senate fail
ed to show where this last clause or
iginated. Tho law as signed by the
governor and as at present on file In
the secretary's office bears this latter
title.
