Charges Tammany With
Either Impotency or a
Failure to Work tor Suc
cess of Democracy
U NCOLN, Nf b., Nov. 20. That
Tammany has either become impotent
or did not work for the h tie reus of the
dt nioeratie party are charges made by
William J. Bryan in au article made
public today, to appear in the forthcom
ing issue of the Commoner.
The Commoner article, under the head
ing "What Is the' Remedy!" saya:
"Mr. Murphy, the head of Tammany,
says that Tammany did the beat it could
for the national ticket. Thorn's the
rub, Jf Tammany had been treacher
ous it mi glit promise to be faithful next
time, but as it "done the bent it could'
what hope is there for next time!
"First Was it tho fault of the can
didatef "Second Was it the fnnlt af the
platform!
"Third Was it tho fault of Tarn
many!
"Fourth Is there a Now York. de
mocracy outside nf Tnmmnny!
"If the democratic candidate was
objectionable th Tammany, the remedy
is to nominato n candidate next time
who is favorable, providing that it is
necessary to insure a democratic vic
tory. "If the democratic platform was ob
jectionable, the remedy is:
Let Tammany Writo Platform.
"Lot Tammany write the next dem
ocratic platform, provided a Tammany
n nt form will insuro a victory. Hut if
it is the fault of Tammany, the reme
dy is more difficult. How is Tammany
to be reformed t If Tammany will not
"support the democratic ticket and plat
form when the ticket and platform are
satisfactory to democrats of tho coun
try, what is to be done?
"Th the national party to have Tarn"
many to be used as an argument against
the national party when Tammany is
helpless to help the national ticket even
when it does its best! It will be in
teresting to democrats outside to know
how the situation is to be remedied.
"Will Tammany explain?"

Emperor Creates Sensa

on the Yellow Peril-Has
Understanding With Ted
, LONDON, Nov. 20. Another sensa
tion hns been created hero by tho pub
lication of n story purporting to bo an
exact, interview by Bayard Hall the
distinguished clergyman, traveler and
writer, with Kaiser Wiluclm, on board
tho imperial yacht -Hoheu7.ollern, at
Briga, Norway, July 19, aud which was
announced to nppenr In the December
number of tho Century magazine, but
was later suppressed through ' tho ef
forts of tho German government.
. The atjjry printed says that tho em
peror talked with Dr. Hull several
hours nnd he was very bitter ngainst
England and full of tho "vellow per
il." The synopsis of the interview print
ed here says that tho kaiser declared
that tho English wore traitors to the
white man's cause.
He predicted that she would ultimate
ly lose some of her colonies through her
treaty with Japan.
Tho invitntion to the Americnn fleet
of battleships to visit New Zealand was
Intended to serve nol ice on England
that those colonies were with the white
man nnd not with the renegade mother
country. Tho British colonies would
sho.' by tho ardor of their reception
th il they understood the situation.
Insurrection In India.
. The emperor declared that Japan i
even now fomenting insurrection in In
dia. This insurrection might break out
within six months. Germany nnd the
United Stntes will, however, find n so
lution of the eastern question.
There is a complete understanding
between Emperor William and Presi
dent Roosevelt on this point, the kai
ser said. They intend to divide the
east ngainst itself by becoming the
recognized friends of China. Negotia
tions have been progressing favorably
for months.
. A very high Chinese official, Ihe
emperor said, would soon visit Ger
many nnd America. The terms will be
then made known guaranteeing the pro
tection and integrity of China and tho
open door.
Should Have Boon Gonnany,
Every statesman now realizes the
emperor declares, that Russia iii her
great struggle with Japan was really
fighting the while man's cause fight
ing it miserably. The emperor express
ed sympathy with Russia, reinaikiug
how different Hie result would hn ve
been if the bind en of carrying the
White man's standard had been placed
by Providence upon his invincible bat
talions. Tf Japan were suffered now
to get control of China, Europe would
suffer attack. The emperor is keeping
friends with tho Mohammedan world.
Hn is oven supplying them with rifles,
because they an' devils in a fight nnd
stand between the east and the west,
where they can break the first force
of the attack.

Some MiscreantTampered
With Red Lights Mark

With u beautiful disregard of hamuli
life, some miscreant has been turning
out the lights placed on trenches left,
open by Hubert King, the plumber, wh i
has the contract for lapping the water
mains of the city for property owners.
The turning out of the lights hns hup
jwiicd a number of times and only the
vigilance of Mr. King in personally
, . . . .
saved someone being i inured bv driving
. , . ' h
into the open trenches.

out Mr. King was at a loss to account
for it, and thought some irresponsible
hov had done the work. However, it
. ... , ,V
happened a second tunc, after Mr. King
. V . , ,.
had relit the lights, accou.paii.ed by a
business man of the citv. Tho second
time it was noticed that the wick was
turned down low, putting out the light,
evident ly the work of someone who
wished lo get Mr. King into a damage
suit.
The police have been notified and
are keeping 0 watch on the lights. The
man who thus endangers human life is
just ly cut it led to be pun inked, which
will be the result, if he is caught.
