Elements of Party Success
A political party, after all is said, is bat an agency for the accom
plishment of certain things which its members consider desirable
Unless it has some prospect of attaining the ends in view it will fail
to command support. A party to be sucoessfnl most be intensely
practical. It mast know its own mind, mast be sure it is right and
most understand what it may attempt and what is beyond its powers.
It must adopt the best means for the attainment of good ends. If
that be counted expediency, as it is in the highest sense, then expe
diency is always a duty. Louisville Courier-Journal (dem.)

BITTER WORDS AGAINST BRYAN.
A portion of the proceedings at the
Democratic State convention of Ohio
last Wednesday appears below:
"In an alleged stampede for principles
rather than men' the most striking turn
of the convention was on Bryan. The
most bitter things were said of his lead
ership in the committee on resolutions
this morning. It was insisted that his
name should not be mentioned, and that
there should be no reference to either of
the national platforms on which he made
his campaigns. After this plan had been
agreed upon, one of the twenty-one
members of that committee offered a
minority report, reaffirming the Kansas
City platform and expressing confidence
in Bryan, and he received only six votes
out of 950 delegates on his substitute
for the platform preamble.
A few moments after the platform was
adopted, one of these six delegates called
attention to the fact that pictures of
other democrats were displayed in the
hall and none of Bryan, as heretofore.
He started to carry a small banner with
Bryan's picture on it to the platform.
The aisles were ordered cleared and the
picture did not reach its destination. It
was trampled under foot and spoiled
during the wild demonstrations when
Kilbourne was escorted into the hall.
While it is generally believed that the
marching clubs did not know they were
walking over Bryan's picture yet there
was much comment after the convention
that the picture was not treated worse
than had been the old standard bearer
himself by the committee on resolutions
and the convention."

Lewis Soldak, secretary of schools of
St. Louis, at the National Educational
Association meeting at Detroit made a
very sensible remark when he said:
The good sense of the teachers and of
the American people is the best safe
guard against the prevalence of fads in
public school instruction. They both
demand that educatian should constant
ly adjust itself to the requirements of
life and to the development of the best
faculties of the child and that the neces
sary and useful in education shall ever
be placed above the merely ornamental."
Nat. Sxails of the Fremont Herald,
in a great many ways has evidenced his
peculiar abilities, but as a suggester to
his political opponents, he has outdone
himself. Listen to him: "Oh! By all
means, annex Hawaii to California as a
congressional district To do so would
later furnish a splendid precedent for
distributing the Philippines among va
rious states where it is desired to bring
about or maintain the ascendency of
the republican party."
At Albany, Missouri, three children of
a contractor, George McCurry, found
some pieces of dynamite in the cellar of
their home and thinking it was putty fed
it to their pet frog, which ate them. A
large tool chest fell on the frog, explod
ing the eaten dynamite; a chisel pierced
the temple of the yonngest child and
killed him; another child and Mrs. Mc
Curry, in the kitchen above, were seri
ously hurt and that part of the house
was wrecked.
The Jodbnai. has made several ref
erences to improvements on the road
leading to the Platte river bridge. A
greater portion of it is deep sand and has
given trouble at times for years. It was
at last thought practicable to put clay
on top of the sand and use a sprinkler,
which with the heavy travel, it was
reckoned would make a good solid road
bed. We are told that such seems to be
the prospect With the new pnmp pro
vided for the sprinkler, the tank can
easily be filled from the river in ten min
utes, and with its broad eight-inch tires,
the sprinkler-wagon will operate pretty
effectually as a heavy roller.
Mrs. Mallon as administratrix of
her deceased husband's estate has plead
the statute of limitations against a claim
of Dodge county for unpaid personal
taxes amounting to upwards of $200,
having run over four years. The Fre
mont Herald, after remarking that the
case is without precedent in Nebraska,
says: "It has been argued to the court
by the attorneys. Numerous cases from
other states were cited upon both sides
of the question. The matter was taken
under advisement It is interesting to
know that the supreme court of this
state has made no ruling upon a matter
of this sort The U. S. supreme court
has held in favor of the estate."
A team ot horses belonging to Frank
Plageman, living fourteen miles south of
Columbus, caused considerable excite
ment down Eleventh street Thursday
evening. The horses were anxious to
move and broke away from their hitching
post in front of The Journal office and
ran at high speed down the street nearly
to the cemetery when they undoubtedly
found running too hard work in hot
weather and quieted down. A little
5-year-old daughter of Mr. Plageman's
was sitting on the high seat, held the
lines and kept the seat throughout the
race. Mr. Plageman tried to catch the
team opposite Easton's and in so doing
was thrown and had his left hand cut so
that several stitches had to be taken in
the flesh to bring it together.
The readers of the Democrat will bo
pleased to learn that Dr, J. E. Paul has
returned frttm Chicago and has located
in Columbus to practice his profession,
dentistry. Dr. Paul will be remembered
by many of our readers as principal of
the public schools of Humphrey three
years, during which time he spent his
spare moments studying dentistry with
Dr. Condon of this city. From here he
went to Chicago. He passed the state
examination the first thing and was ad
mitted to the practice of dentistry, and
practiced all through his college terms.
He was appointed assistant to Dr.
Brophy, Dean of Chicago college and
professor of oral surgery, on account of
having passed the best examination the
first year. Besides his regular college
course Dr. Paul has taken two practi
cians' courses during summer terms.
Through long study and experience Dr.
Paul is well equipped to practice den
tistry in all' its branches and the Demo
crat predicts for him a large and suc
cessful practice at Columbus. The fore
going from the Humphrey Democrat
seems like high praise for Dr. Paul, but
it is only a beginning to what his nearest
friends say of his worth and work. 1
