A Lively Corpse Oyer Which Many Funeral Sermons Have Been Preached, From the San Francisco Call. | William Jennings Bryan has been duing a goo deal of politics during his lecture tour of the Eastern States,” and has thereby greately disturbed { the reorganizers. A number of Demo-| cratic . ational Comitteer ‘i recently in New York its aac rot ah ed to have been quite frank in avow- | ing their dislike of the situation. ~ | Some of them declared Bryan to be aj political nuisance, a man who has out- lived his usefulness and who being | politically dead. ought to stay buried. It was also stated by these commit.| teemen that the Bryanites control the committee, and that| there would be no large amount of dissatisfaction if the Bryanite chairmea | of the committee, Senator Arkansas, were to lose his Senate and be retired from national politics along with Bryan himseif. ‘Lhe commttieemen who hang a-! round New York hotels entertain such | Mr. Bryan continues to! iake himself quite seriously as the per- petual candidate of his pariy, the man’ a be the next Democratic President of the Uni-| ted States. j During his visit to Washington | Bryan received a good deal of atten- | tion, and in commenting uponthe im pression made the Washizgton cor- | respondent of the Atlanta “Constitu-| uion’’ says: “William Jennings Bryan undoubtedly regards himself still a Presidential probaibility, He made this pretty clear in talks he had with Dem- ocratic Senators and Kepresentatives | here to-day; more, however, by what, he did not say than by whathe did. | He alsu made it clear that he believes eyery De voracin public life either reads ihe ‘Communer’ or should do so.

We have a prospectof carrying the next} House, and such a victory this fail would pave the way to triuwph in the| Presidential campaign. | This reappearauce of Bryan as an| active Campaiguer for tbe Presidential | nomination confuses the plans of the reorganizers and disturos their calcu | lations, They have been making} their plans upon the assumption that | Bryan ts out of the fight and the way open for a new leader. They now find themselves confronted by the siiver man and threatened with a fact | ion fght- The Richmend ‘Times’’; which has been a gold paper and an opponent of Bryan from the outset, mournfully says: ‘‘Mr. Bryan’s politi-| cal funeral bas been time and again| preacted by those who thought that he was politically dead, but they _reck oned without the corpse.

Itis quite evident that there has been but iiitleif any improvement in| the public school system of this city. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction expressed among the people and es-| pecially those who are and have been | interested in the public school system | of this city There has been no expla- nation made as yet relative to the re-| port of the Normal School principal and why no mention was made of her school in the annual report. i The High School will no doubt have | a new principal.

J., carried hig | savings around in his wooden leg | and when he died tte was worth $15,« 000 in cash. Mason lost his leg in a railroad ace cident years ago. He never would tell whence he came. He had known better days, he id, and rum had caused his downfall. When he was able to get out on crutches he took the pledge. Friends MASON AND HIS OUTFIT. bought him a wooden leg and a push cart, gave him a few dollars and he began buying and selling junk. Mason prospered. When the first wooden leg was worn out, Mason ap- peared with one of his own manufac- ; ture. It was very clumsy, bulging at | the top. | During the past six years Mason | was mmpanied on his rounds by a dog that was equipped with a | wooden leg made by Mason to take the place of one it had lost. | Mason the other day was found stretched on his bed, d .
