Exchange: Just a little dollar, on its mission sent, makes a lot of people glad each time the coin is spent.

This is thought to indicate an attempt of Oro- ker ’arid\ Tammany to get control of the democratic national organization. The article is headed: “A Bryan Democrat’s View of Mr. Brynn.” It is addressed “To tbe Editor of the Journal,” and is signed by Arthur McEuen. Mr. McEuen.-is one of thebbief editorial writers on thnt pa per. Tbe principal points made by Editor McEuen are as follows: “As a Bryan democrat, I have to confess I grow Aweary of Mr, Bryan, and this is important, because I find myself in con stantly ‘increasing company with -other BryáÜ’.-deniocrate. I am coming to be lieve tGat lie is not large enough to be a leader of tbo cause which is known by his name-!' -• Of bis energy nnd bis brilliancy as a popular speaker, as high au opinion must „bo hold ns when be made that mar- voloriéf tour of tbe union, roueiDg people everywhere with ‘ bis earnest and dashing eloquéjuce, but be no longer impresses as a great man uor as one of highest sincerity. Hqia'^Bhowiug narrowness or irrational obstinacy, either of which had been detri- ment'dl .'to his nmbition mid must be hurt ful tóíjbhe p raspéete of the movement he represents. The persistence with which hó olitígs to 16 to 1, as if that .were not only thie solitary tenet in the democratic creed,'-but the axis of a revolving cosmos, betrays either Bryan’s incapacity to coin- preheri<| Bryanism or a dogged disposi tion1 tÚat refuses to acknowledge what Í9 presented to bis eyes and those of evory other\ intelligent man iu the country, whether for or against: the Chicago pint- form qf.tho new democrats. . - • “Consider whut Bryanism—real Bryau- ism—riieans. That word sounds now in the United States for the whole battle of the many any against tyranny and spolia tion at the hands of a few. It is a decla- ration/of war upon plutocracy, not against property, but against the aggressions of of property upon the rights of the people.’ The koine' fight’'háá been going on ever since -'the strong: Were .first; tempted’ to oppre's37and'plunder the u'eak j that is,to ’soy e y e r’since mankind' hari’ live’d upon the earth. -' Brit tho appalling duration of. this war is not a reason why it should be abandoned us hopeless by the victims.- What reason is there in sense, what reason in sane politics, why Bryan should stand On sixteen to one, and' speaking as the head of the’democratic party, declare: ‘He that is riot for me in this is against me.’ Is there not enough ground outside of tho question of ratio to draw tho de mo crate together for common war against tho rulo of plutocracy, fleecers of people ? And the main thing in the new democracy that took up the sword at Chicago in not sixteen to one. That is the fly on the wheel. By magnifying it us Mr. Bryan does, he is doing the new democracy in calculable mischief. Thore are larger men iu the democratic party than Bryan. At present they keep, or are kept in tho rear, for' his primacy is so evidont that rivalry is not in vited. But it is a long time to 1900, and • if Bryan shall continue to reveal his limitations at tho rate wo have witnessed within tho past year, ho will have to-fight for the nomination for which he is now maneuvering, and tho more he fights for it the moré likelihood is there thnt he will lose it. Bryan may, if ’ho chooses, stick like an oyster to the rock of 16 to 1, but tho stream of democracy will not be stationary for his sake, nor for any man’s. Bryanism is a bigger thing than Bryan.' And Bryanism Vfií continue to grow whatever Bryan may do.” ’ • • Bound, lo r K londike.

Shultz is sending tbo New Yqrk Sun some very interesting sketches now days. ' Jamos slings a facilo pen, nnd his pithy nnd well written articles command a good price in the effete eust. To look at Blackfoot from a distance one would not snpposo thoro wero a score of persons within its precincts, yet there is hardly a day passes-that a hundred people do not eat ut the hotels of this place. A great deal of railroad mntoria), in cluding locomotives and cars, have passed over tho Groat Northern rhis winter, billed to tho Pacific const, whoro they will be transferred to ships nnd sent to Chinn. it is 6tntcd that tho Olirouicle has a paid correspondent in this vicinity, who sails under tho nom do plume of “Abso- lom,” nud burns much midnight oil while muking up his weekly budget of news for that organ. I remember reading in my youth of a young man by that rinmo, who, while riding, a long oared-beast, was'so unfortunate as to have his luxuriant locks entangled in the spreading'boughs of an oak, arid thus enme toran-untimely end-; therefore, I caution1 the Ohroniolo scribe to beware of the mule,' long‘'liair, * and other \pitfalls of destruction, lest he per ish m like manner. • Th'e democratic mule is a treacherous critter. • • ■ ; • • • *■' •’ ' ' ■ Some young ladies'aro organizing a social-‘club, and no'one but morabors of the fair 8ex‘nro permitted’tobecomri iden tified with tho order.-'They have adopted a ‘constituti6ii: forbidding gum-chowing, carrying»! toothpick's-in their mouths,'or receiving the addresses of 'nuy man who chows, smokes o r indulges in -ardent 'spir its. •• This ib commendable on the part of the ladies,‘aDd the miscrerit who has sug- gested the-name of “Nnnnio' Goats” for this1 organization; oiiplit 'to bo ashamed of 'himself. • - ' - 1 Mrs'.

The other day the writer found an nlriiost new pair of socks which somebody had thrown away just because thera were holes in the heels, but wheu noatly darned wore good as ever. Without' a'rimo' such encouragement the people are becoming shiftloss nnd extrav agant in all their'wny8. There is an epidemic of chicken pox at the egency school, and it has been deemed advisable to grant no more permits to those desiring to visit tho school ma’ams for fear of contagion and possible actions for dnmages.
