William Jennings Bryan's defense, in Brooklyn, of what shallow scoffers like to call “Bryanism," was one of his happiest efforts. The body of principles which he has so forcefully and so eloquently advocated from the rostrum and in the press has for more than a centurybeen the essence of the Democratic creed, which holds that all men are • created with equal righ s if not with equal opportunities, that the equal

rights of all shall be preserved and special privileges be granted to none,, tat the government ot Washington is a creature of the cons-.itution, and that it must not invade the rights which the states reserved :o themselves when they ratified the constitution. These principles lived before Bryan and they will outlive Bryan as long as popular government lives in the world. They lived in this country long before Thomas Jefferson and the makers of the cons tuition formulated them into a code which the simplest citizen can read as he runs. They are principles for which the great majority of the American people, without respect to party, are ready to fight, if necessary, as Nathaniel Bacon fought for them in Virginia, in the first revolt against British tyranny, 100 years before the Declaration of Independence was written. What they call "Bryanism' made Abraham Lincoln one of the greatest presidents this country has had. By

borrowing from it. here and there, ; President Roosevelt has accomplished ; nearly everything which, for a time,! made him one of the most popular of ail the presidents. It is a robbery of the fame of Washing on, Jefferson and Lincoln to try to impute to Bryan a copyright on "Bryanism.' That he has been foremost among the Democrats during the last decade and more is due simply to his thorough saturation with the only safe principles of American government, and to his fearless and unfaltering advocacy of them. There is talk at Washington of creating _ new department of government I

to be known as the Department of! Public Heal». If this thing goes on ! a meeting of the cabinet will soon ' look likes a national convention. Vice President Fairbanks declined an invitation to Andy Carnegie’s peace convention, recently held in New York. Nothing so warlike as a peace convention attracts the Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks. There is not, so far as we know, any person in Indiana who is benefited by

the tariff tax on lumber. But every [ man who builds a house or has to I buy lumber for any other purpose! pays a tax to the lumber trust on | every foot that he uses. snowlnTrain ___________ Promised byWeatherMan During May ACCORDING TO PARSON HICKS — Who Also Says Tornadoes and Cy-|] clones Will be Plentiful—Poor Chance for the May Flowers. Speaking of the weather for May Parson Hicks says: A regular storm period, having its center on April 30. comes over into j ‘ the Ist. 2nd and 3rd of May. Low j ‘ barometer and general storm condt I 1 tions will be advancing from west to east by the end of April, and these . * conditions will culminate in rain, I wind and thunderstorms from the Ist’ l to the 3rd. In extreme northern sec- ‘ tions unseasonable cold, with possible sleet and snow, will attend 'hese storms, sending a cool wave progressively down over most parts of the • country from about the third to the ; 1 sixth. A reactionary storm period tails! centrally on Monday. Tuesday and. Wednesday, the 6th. 7th and Bth.

A regular storm period runs from ’the 10th to the 15th. central on thej 112th. Warm, humid atmosphere. > I with low barometer and sou_heriy . winds, should cause apprehension land watchfulness in the face of gath-j i ering storm clouds at this time. In < ’ all reasonable probability severe, tor-. nadic storms will be reported during this period. A reactionary storm period is cen-i ral on the 18th. 19th and 20th. On ; i and touching these dates look for . I rapid and great chonge to falling bar-; lometer and warmer. A probable ey-1 | cle of daily rain, wind and thunder, storms will set in about this time, re-i pearing themeslves for many conse-i cutive days. A regular storm period is central • on the 2 .rd, covering the 22nd to the 26th. The weather will turn cold and 1 hail storms are almost certain to at•end the storms about 22nd to 25th, . with sudden revulsion from extreme warmth to unseasonable cold follow- ’ mg A reactionary storm period is central on the 28th, 29th and :10th. The ; center of the Venus period is on the - 29th. If storms and storm conditions do not continue from the preceding period, look for such to return on and

touching the 28th and 30th. ( o .. — The Man With the Wooder Hat. A young Scotsman was shown into j 1 the office of a great engineer at Blr- ‘ ’ mingham. He was wearing a hat of 1 extraordinary shape, and at his nervousness at meeting the man of fame be let the hat slip. It fell with a hollow thud upon the floor. The engineer look- ■ ed with astonishment at the thing. The ; owner picked it up and apologized for ’ the noise it had caused. It was of : wood, he explained. He had made it ' himself turning it with hie father’s j lathe. The engineer thought that there must be something in a man who could think out and make such a thing as this. He forthwith engaged him. kept an eye upon him and gave him work of responsibility. The engineer was Boulton; the new man. William Murdock. The man with the wooden bat '

was sent away to Cornwall, and when ’ he returned it was to light up his master’s premises with gas. The mind , which first practically applied the coil ! ! gas to the purpose of lighting lived in- : i side that wooden bat. —St. James* Gazette.
