CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER," JULY 28, . f ( f ' - PnWtobm. TCESDAT, JVtX 28, Jt. JiR. BUT AX TAIX.r -JIOCTSED. - The Wtea charge that Mr, Bryan when U Can refused to vote for Jlr. Crisp, t Gcorgi. for Speaker. U MCWftB tai refusal with the statement thAt he a Voted for a Confederate soldier nor ever would, has been very thoroughly exploded, not only by Mr. Bryan's denial but by reference to the Con- i gresstonal Record, and does not de serve to weigh longer in the public mind.. Aa matter of fact he did Vote for Mr. Orisp. as the caucus . nominee, though voting 'a caucus against him and fur Mr Springer, of Illinois, which fact should not be Charged up against him by any (Southerner. "It Is not surprising." a-s The Washington Herald says, "that " Mr. Bryan should have preferred Mr. Bprlnger to Mr. Crisp. This ail hap pened nearly twenty years aio, re member! Mr. Bryin wa a young Congressman, ambitious and r.gicr.-sr Sive. He came from a constituency largely composed of l-wlon soldiers; nd It was. Just . natural tliat li hould have been loyal to them as It would have been for . Virginian to . be Joyal to the followers of Robert K. te.. It Is hardly to he iioutf'' i that ' Mr. Hryan truly represented his cm thuency In voting In caucu for Mr. Bpringer a most eminent lemoerat nd a member of the House of very high standing." In consideration "f this matter the fa. t last mentioned should not be overlooked nor mini mised. Mr. Springer was us worthy nd as able a pemocrat as Mr "risp. With as high qualification for the speakership as he. Any Ix-mocrat In the House mignt haw oted for either With equal ground of warrant. Another cha.-se against Mr. Ttrnn which we must discredit is that he ob jected to a Houthern man as chair man of the national committee on the ground that such a s. -lection would be calculated to alienate negro votes. He has made a great mis take from a political tactical stand point in welcoming negro Itepib Ilcan delegations to his premises. providing them with lunch not in a social way. of course and en deavoring to enlist their Influence With their race at large In his be half; but we must he excused from believing that he uttered any such sentiment In reference to a Southern man and the chairmanship a that -imputed to him , There are severs reasons why he could not have done this, chief of which Is that it would have been an open affront to the Houth, where his only substantia! strength is to he found With two clean and honorable men Contending for the presidency there wts reason to hope for a campaign free from faleshood as well as defa mation, but there Is fear from the manner of Its opening that this hope Will not be realized. WOMEN OX TIIK ll AIN-OAXO. Some days ho thin- came from Greenville, K '., the statement tnat negro women convicts wire to be put to work on the streets of that city. This was accompanied by tbH yet more shocking explanation that "for some time it has oeen felt that the women who have been convicted be fore the recorder and who were therefore put on the gang had become a source of trouble. For that reason they will be gi-n light w .rk on the streets, such hs i lifting gr.i"s " The new arrangement is then-fore a modi fication of the .d Women haw been, It appears, as a ustom. worked on the 'chain-gang, in public view, and In the interest of the gang and of good order it has been rcey , of them and they nre "given llRht work on the Streets, such as cutting rrss" The Story staggers bcli'f Worn' n as well . as men offi-n lers must of t rse be punished for the protection of .-ifty; but, as Tike I'ohimhia .tare sa.

The administration's reputation for trust-busting Is at stake. Moreover, the court took oeeasloa Ito give the anti-trust methods pursued by the Department of Justice at the Presi dent's Instance a rap which Inevitably exciced resentment. "The Inter-State commerce act," said "the court with unmistakable meaning, "Important as that law is. Is not the only law under which we live. We live under a guaranty that reaches back to the beginning of our law and is securely planted in every constitution of civil ized government, that no one shall be punished until he has beer heard, and above thia fundamental guaranty there can be set no higher preroga tive; for let It once coma to pass that under the stress of enforcing equality any power In the government may oyer-ride the fundamental rights of being Judged only after having been duly tried a right Just as essential In the associated relation of the cor poration as to m"n In the relutlon fhtp f co-partners, or to .men indi vidually there will- remain no com merce worth the name to safeguard.

We do not think, however, that Mr. HooMPvelt's courso In reading the Judges a lesson tan be excused even under these circumstances. The' I'resblent should not have said pend ing a possible re-trial that "there Is absolutely no doubt of the guilt of t he defendants, " or that "the I'resblent would regard It as a gross miscarriage of Justice If through any technicali ties of any kind the defendants escaped the punishment which would unquestionably have been meted out to any weaker defendant who hud be cn guilty of such offense " A bench of Judges lias Just set aside a verdict of guilty on the precise ground that the defendants may have been Inno c ii t s i far as the record of tlia trial shiiws fine hram-h nf an orderly government should hardly rail out ugainst another. Since we are hap pily no part of the governmental ma chinery. It Is permissible for us to say. In agreement with part of what the President should not have said, that Irrespective of any trial Irregu larities th" oil trust was very probably guilty os found guilty, though unjustly sentenced. The President has grounds for sincere re gret on public groundR. as well as personal and political. Ills fault lies In his usual failure to express him self with proper restraint. Among the President's chief causes of Irritation Is undoubtedly the small teal prospei t of pushing the ruse any further. The Attorney (ieneral, as Judgo Oricscup, one of the Circuit Court of Appeals Judges who de livered the revi isal. points out. ran do nothing more than a"k the I'nlted Stu'es Supreme Court for a writ of c.-rt ioi mi i, to re-open the case befopt Judge J.andis; and Judge lirosscup l Is it be understood that he does not cxprct the Supreme Court, which only grants about one In tlfty of such ap plications, to omplv.

The Progress says that Horace Greeley married Mrs. Cheney, who ai a Connecticut young woman engaged aa a teacher In North Carolina, and whom he first met in New Tork. The mother of James Madison, according to the same veracious chronicler, was Nel lie Conway, of the large and influen tial family of that name In Lancas ter, one of the lower northern neck counties of Virginia." Our only in accuracy, and this due to a mere slip of the pen. was in saying the "moth er" of James Madison when we meant and thought we had written the wife." His wife was born in North Carolina, May 20th, 1772, three years to a lay before the promulgation of the blessed Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. As for the wife of Horace Greeley we never said and never Intended to say that she was a North Carcfilnian but only that Hor ace "married in this State." See Observer of Friday. July 17.

Mr. V. A. Mcwnrt Struck by a Passcn-J n . t .. - J Vll,, Bl,a filed! jrer iram nuunm; ."s1" " of Injuries. Struck by a passenger train within about 75 yards of the Southern stu tion nt Salisbury Saturday night. Mr, W. A- htewart. of this city, was so i.otu- inturi',1 tnnt he died Sunday morning. The remains w. re brought to his late resld'nce 1.008 North Cald well street, yesterday morning, being accompanied 'by his wife and Mr. It. K. seller, wlio' went to Salisbury on tbe sad mission. Facts about the accident aro meugie, it appearing that the flagman on No. 3H saw the man sitting by tho rails as the train sped out of Sails bury. The statement that the dead man wa" accompanied to Salisbury by two friends. Messrs. Charles H. Smith and II Clay Hoggs, was yesterday de nied i them. Friends furthermore declare 'that no odor of whiskey was defected on him. some statement hav ing been made to the effect that he had possibly been drinking when the fatal blow struck him. The right arm of Mr. Stewart was crushed Into a pulp. He -was conscious for several hours and walked to a tab to be taken to a hospital for treat ment. A report from Salisbury states that It was found that he was suffer ing from fatal Internal Injuries and Utile hope was held out from the first as to his recovery. Mr. Stewart, it Is understood, left home here early Saturday morning fur from being a well man. The fam ily had no Intimation from him that he Intended to leave ifce city. It was presumed that be was out In the city somewhere engaged. The reasonable presumption, however, is that he took a train to Salisbury and spent the day there. Mr. Stewart was a native of Cataw ba county and surviving him are his aged mother, three children, one brother, Mr. J. W. Stewart, of Long Island, and a sister, Mrs. Celia Wingo, of Hpartaniburg. The deceased is spoken of in high terms by Tils neigh bors who have observed In him tra'Js of gentleness and sobriety. He was a member of the Methodist church. , Vlf'F. MA YOU TO PHKSIOE.

Opening at fatta Park a Itlg Success. A large number of dancers at tended the opening dance at Ittta Park last evening. This Is one of the most delightful auditoriums mound Charlotte. and with the changes that have been made, such as (lowers and refreshments, a large crowd no doubt will attend each n'.cht The music of the Richardson iii'hestra was unusually good and the dancers showed fhr apprecia tion often by colling for encores To-morrow night the music will be furnished by the well-known Walker Hand of old-time fiddlers. and no doubt a large number of the older generation will be out to hear some of the tunes of long ago. The Hlchardson Orchestra will play nt the new electric pavilion to morrow night as usual. Criminal Assault Charts..

"Nope, hut e had a flood near Colorado Springs, Sunday," aald 1 "Yep, but that wilt not-do us any food, over here," declared the man with merry twinkle in his eye. "Been to the convention!" "rep." "Nominated Bryan?" . "Yep." "We '.are mighty dry throug-h here," eaW any Interrogator, going back to the original subject. So I see." Being somewhat of a physiognomist, as Mr. Dave Covington told Oov. Charles B. Aycock one time when he Was trying to pull away from him but kept saylnff that he was glad to see him, I conceived an Idea I had met a farmer who did not yvorry about Bryan. Do you live In this State?" I ask ed, leading off. "Yep." "It's Missouri?" "Oo-hungh." "Farmer are you?" - "rep stock raiser hogs? "Bryan man ?" "No; Taft." "A Missouri Republican?" "Nope, a North Carolina Republi can ?' "Why, I am from North Carolina. Where did you como from?" "Watauga county. "Where Is your home ?" "Charlotte." "I have been there 'many a time, tielllng mules. Panner, Bam Banner, la my name, and my people live near lianners Elk. out from Blowing Itock." Kverybody you meet Is connected in somo way with North Carolina and most people are proud of it. I knew from" this man's friendly ap pearance, whs-n he came In the car, thHt he ought to be a Tar Heel. He smiled and cant bis eye about as If he knew every one and took an interest In all. For hours I had sat, grouchy, uncivil, and silent, but w hen I saw Mr. Banner, coat off, familiar, yet modest, I could not resist the temptation to converse with him. lie Is one of those rare creature, whose manner makes you feel as If you know him wlben you do not, and I was not long in realizing that about him that made me think 1 had seen him before. "How much land do you own out here?" "About 1,800 acres." I took a good look at him. His clothes Indicated that he was prosper ous. "How did you like Denver?" he asked me. "Fine. I did not relish a cloud burst that I got in out there." "Well, you better thank Ood you were In a cloudburst In Colorado and not in a cyclone In Oklahoma," said Mr. Banner with some feeling. "What about the cyclones out here?" "Wo don't have them here; nor do they have them in Colorado, but in Oklahoma the first thing a man buys Is a hole In the ground, a place to take bis family when a cloud rises." "Is it that bad?" "Yep, and worse. Before coming here, Just after leaving North Carolina, I lived In Oklahoma two years. You ever been Hhere?" "N'ope, but came near frolne; last fall to live." "STl'Xt;!" SAID Mil. FARltELIfc bqulre Hark ley Bites at an Old Show Story and tlie Buys Iough at Him. "Why, did The Chronicle let that story of the tiger tearing up the man at Spartanburg escape?" asked 'Squire David A. Barkley, the night watchman at The Observer to Mr. E. P. Wide man last niglst, when he cam up to go to work. "A burnt child dreads fire," said Mr. Wide man. "What do you mean?" aald 'Squire Barkley. "I do not believe a tiger bit any body 'sald Wldeman. "Why, the fellow came in here early this morning and told me about it and gave me notes for the paper," declared Mr. Barkley. "Stung!'' ald Willie Farrell. "Stung!" said Will Allen the son of Dick. "Stung!" said Mllas. "Stung!" aid Buster Brown. "Had you never heard that bloody tiger story before, Mr. Barkley?" nak ed Mr. Wldeman. "No, was the man bit once before?" "No. but the man said he was." "Stung!" said the 'Squire, as be passed Irrto th next room to recall the names of those to whom he had told the most wonderful tale of the vicious lion. "Why, blame me If 1 didn't give that fellow a morning paper for his storv and told hlrm that 1 regretted very much we did not get the nis.vs ,akt nlgbt." said Mr. Barkley as he pa id . d through tbe hall ten minutes lator. "Stung!" said Willie. Fine Crops and Prosperous Farmers Kvevywhcre. Mr. Richard B. Hunter, State lec turer for the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union, was- in the city yesterday on his way to Ban- doiph, Montgomery, Moore and Leo counties, where he will speak this week. Last week Mr. Hunter was In Lincoln. Catawba, Polk and Cleveland- The crops, he says, are tine und the people ,in fine spirits. Mr. Hunter declares that ho has never seen so much improvement in farm methods a is manifest in North Carolina.- The tiller of the soil has be come a business man. At all picnics the crowds are large and the individ uals well dressed. Farmers, he ob serves, are making more food stuffs and. thereby, becoming mre Independ ent For Better Passenger Facilities. As a result of the conference be tween committees representing the T. P. A.'s and U. C T.'s supplemented by Messrs. C- E. Hooper and Edgar B. Moore, with Mr. James JKer. Jr., local passenger agent of the Seaboard, It was agreed that sultsbfe memorials be presented to the traffic officials of the road for a passenger coach to be at tached to the freight train leaving Charlotte between I and o'clock In the morning.- Mr. Ker stated to the gentlemen conferring with. bim"jrester day that he was personally In favor of such a plan, hut had no liberty to act In the matter. It la .hoped that tha Improvement la accommodations be tween this city and Monroe can be brought about. DICK , ."You thank God that you did not, for a eyclone might titre swept yea away teifore thla tlma. I am not much afraid of wind, hut it gets, too strmag out there. Lightning scares me.

I had heard to the cyolones and aeen the dug-outs, wQiere- tha natives hide when Che clouds came wp, but never paid any special . attention to the weather hut went "on Just as I had done en my life tip In Watauga, until one night when I du far out In the country too far to get home.- I rod up to the house of a man that X knew. Intending; to stay, until morning. I h(oll,red but no one answered and I rode on. thinking I would go to the next house. The moon was shining and not a sign of , cloud was In sight. But. as I jogged along, something like a stack of black smoke, or dust rose In front of me. and soon a gentle breese struck eny face. "v v " That's strange,' aald I to myself. "But that was all I said, for about that time I heard something coming up the road and the next I knew I was being beat In the face with rocks, sheaves of wheat, ears of corn, logs and poultry, Without a warning I w as In the midst of an Oklahoma cy clone, fighting like one possessed for life. My horse was whirled around, blown under -tjhe buggy, and I in a nanlc. I would have yelled for help but knew there was no use. Vheh. I got my senses back and located my self I extricated my horse and ran back to the house I had just passed. For a time t was Just aa bad off there s I was In the woods, for I had no whero to go, but, finally, in my ram bles I fell In'a dug-out, where I found the family, up to their knees In rotten pumpkin rinds, frightened to death. The farmer, knowing the earmarks of a cyclone, had seen this ono approach ing and gone In early. That was tho reason I missed him when I passed. "That was a night of nights o me. I had the courage to go in the houso and go to bed but I rocked till morn ing, fearing every Ihlour that the build ing would collapse or sail away. The owner of the place would not venture out. "The next morning broke fair and prety but nearly everything the plant er ihad had blown away. The chickens had been lrfted from their roosts, the wheat, corn and olihjpr crops carried miles away and deposit ed In tree tops, and everything else that was not fastened In the earth gone. "That was a lesson to me. I came to Missouri, where I have planted my self. I was sore for (three weeks from that experience." I touched Oklahoma on my trip. The people there are enthusiastic and strenuous hut when the cyclone ap pears they take to the earth. Every home is provided 'with a pit where ione and all can go when "the cyclone comes. Populism and wind seem to go hand In hand. The new State of Oklahoma, has more Populites to the square mile than any other Common wealth In the union. I have met some mighty good fellows from Oklahoma but I know a number of very wild eyed Populists out there. That is the home of Alfalfa Bill, who made a number of speeches ait tlhe Denver con vention. The Colonel epoke to any crowd that would listen he cared not wihether he was in the auditorium or on the etreert. I think he swallowed one of Sam Banner's cyclones Just be fore leaving home. TIIK JOHXXY JOXKS SHOW. I'n tier the Auspices Of then Kaglea the tJrcatcr Exposition Carnival Is Here For the Week. A good crowd went out to the va cant lot diagonally across the street from the rear of the South graded whool to see the Greater Exposition Shows or the Johnny Jones' Carnival. The vicious Hon and lioness, Romeo and Juliet, are among the attractions. It Is believed that Buster Brown, the big eagle, will be called upon before the fair Is over to curb Romeo, the bully, as he is the only man In town strong enough to cope with him. A story to the effect that Romeo ate a man alive at Spartanburg, 8. C, is in circulation. It Is also said that he ate two at Greenville. In fact, Romeo would like a small party for breakfast every morning while he Is here and there Is some talk of clear ing the jail while the show Is In tpwn. Among the features of the carnival are: a circus, a minstrel, a mustang pony, a tiny Mite, the smallest, horse since Little Speck's day. Mr. and Mrs. Bradwtck ascend in a balloon every afternoon at o'clock. This same couple did the balloon stunt at the last fair. The bicycle man will do the "dip of death." mflng a run of 110 feet and dropping 40 feet. Cinderella and the James Boys will be in the electric theatre. The band accompanying the carni val is said to be one of the best ever heard here. If Oolonel Hemphill But Knew. "I am going to send Col. J. c Hemphill, of The News and Courier.
