NO RAINBOWS FOR WHITNEY.

A few days ago the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, referring to the political stu
alton, said:
Dickinson's theory has been that
the Democrats should encourage the
third party movement in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Nebraska and the new
Northwestern States, in the hope of
dividing the Republican vote. Mr..
Whitney has informed his friends
that the Democracy cannot be sue
cessful unless they can carry New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana. He thinks there may be a
possible chance in Minnesota and Wis
consin, But he places no confidence
whatever in the electoral vote OF any
of the four new states. The proba-
bility is that the Democratic plan of
campaign, therefore, will be to cOncen-
trate in the states named, giving en-
cOuragement and substantial aid to
the state committees in Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Mr.. Whitney has no
hopes of Nebraska. He fears the SOL
dier vote there. In New York State
it is believed to be the purpose of the
Democratic National committee to
devote its chief energies to increasing
the vote south of the Harlem Bridge.
Those who are familiar with Newly Ork
State politics know what that means.
1t means, as Tom Reed said the Dem
ocratic policy meant: ga stuffed
prophet and stuffed ballot box"
Since the above was published, Cleve
lands ex-postmaster general has sue
ceeded in getting the Democratic
National committee to chase few
rainbows, and Democratic campaign
committee has been formed with
headquarters in Chicago, which will
take charge of few of the north
western states, and undoubtedly look
after the money the New York World
proposes to raise for the western cam
paign.
1t will be noticed that while Mr..
Whitney thinks there is a possible
chance for Democratic success in the
west probably on the ground that
where there is life there is hope-his
ldlUH lS 'C1 llLulUCu, anu liz UCllCNCo
| there is a better field for fine Demo-
cratic work south Of Harlem Bridge.
1t will undoubtedly be remembered
that much Of the abuse that has been
showered by Democracy upon the
head of Senator Quay, has been called
forth because he so successfully check
mated the frauds that that party was
attempting to perpetrate in that same
! field four years ago. If Mr.. Whitney
has turned his eye to that field, it is
because it promices larger returns
for the money invested than any other
north of Mason and DiXon's line, and
Chairman Carter will have to keep the
same close watch that was exercised
by Senator Quay.
1t is becoming apparent that the
Democratic leaders are recognizing
the fact that the free trade declara-
tion of the Chicago platform has
doomed their cause to defeat and they
are looking for other paths out of the
dilemma in which they find them
selves.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The secretary
of state has received cable from the
United States charge d'affairs at Con
stantinople informing him that the
house of DR.. Bartlett, and American
missionary at Bourdour,, province of
Konia, Asia Minor, had been burned,
and the lives of the missionaries are in
danger. Secretary Foster promptly
fabled the charge to make urgent de-
mand for effective protection, indern-
rity, punishment of the guilty ipsrties
and reprimand of the authoritiesif found
remiss. The United States cruisers
Newark and Bennington now on their
way to Genoa, will be ordered to the
vicinity of the outrage to support the
demand. ,t.
Secretary Foster said that the com
plants of infringement of treaty right
of American missionaries in Turkey had
been accommodating since 1887 andlin
one notable instance, that of the outrage
upon Rev. Mr.. Knapp and; Dr.. Reynolds
by Moussa Bey, in the same province OF
Asia Minor, IL had taken several years
to secure the punishment of the Offend

THEY ARE AFTER DOODLE.

While the Democrats are induStri-
Ou3ly shouting that this is to be a
Ecampaign of education, evidences are
fdaily coming to light that it is also to
be, upon their part, campaign of
Doodle. If nothing else were needed
to convince the public that such were
the case, the address issued by the
Democratic State committee, and
published in the Sunday morning pa
pers, would be sufficient. 1t was a
most pitiful appeal for Doodle from
those who would have the handling of
the funds, if they can be raised. The
sum and substance Of the address is
that Democracy is poor but virtuOus;
that it is fighting the peoples cause,
and to do this must have little mon
ey to pay the expenses of their cam
paign speakers, and that this money
must come in small sums from the
people, as the Democracy Of Mime
sofa, especially, has no rich men in
its ranks to go to. Now while De-
mocracy is talking about poverty in its
ranks, so far as wealthy men are con-
cerned, what is the matter of J. j.
Hill. who is president Of the Great
Northern Ry.; with Pat Kelley, whole
sale merchant: with Michael Doran,
who carries Minnesota Democracy in
his vest pocket; with p. B. Winston,
Mayor of Minneapolis; with H. r.
Wells, banker, at Preston; and with a
score and more of others, who might
be named, who are comfortably well
off and could draw their checks for
good sized sums and not miss the
cash. 1t is safe tosay that the De-
mocracy of Minnesota contributed
$4,000 to the National campaign
fund of their party in 1888, and that
it did not come in driblets either.
While it is an undoubted fact that
greater portion Of the business men
and manufacturers of the state are
Republicans, because they recognize
the benefits which the people at large
derive from the protective policy,
and therefore desire to see it main
tanned, yet Democracy does not come
anywhere near being an aggregation of
paupers, as one might infer from
reading the address of it's state COM
mittee.
The call is made for contributions
from Is cents up to $500. Now if the
Democratic contributions should aver
age 90 cents for every voter who voted
their ticket in 1890, it would give
them fund of over $4,000 If they
have 100 speakers in the field for so
days at cost of $500 per day each,
which is liberal allowance for ex-
penses, as the address states they can
get plenty of speakers who will donate
their services, thiswould onlycost them
S25, 900 at the outside, and probably
they would not reach anywhere near
that sum. This would leave very
comfortable balance, which, added to
the fund the New York World is rails
ing to pull Minnesota out of the Re
publican column, and the liberal
slices that Whitney has promised Don
Dickinson for his rainbow chasing in
the northwest, will place Minnesota
Democracy in very good shape for a
Doodle campaign.
When party gets reduced to such a
desperate condition, that it is obliged
to issue such an address as the Demo-
cratic leaders of Minnesota have sent
out, it is time for the people to keep
close hold upon their pocket-books
and refuse to become partners to such
corrupt deal.

THE pathetic appeal for funds from
the chairman of the Democratic State

tears to come to the eyes of the faith
full even though it fails to bring Doodle.

THE St. Paul Globe has arrived at
the conclusion that the Mckinley law
cannot be held responsible for all the
strikes that are now going on. The
trouble with the Globe is, the strikes
are getting far to numerous in the
unprotected industries for it to be
able to any longer palm off such rot as
the tariff being responsible for all the
trouble. With two or three great
strikes, in unprotected industries,
gathering a violence sufficient to de-
mand the calling out of troops for the
protection of life and property, the
most rabid free trader is obliged to
pause in the midst of the theories he
is spinning and consider if there are
not forces other than the tariff at
work in our midst tending to cause
the upheaval we are now experience
ing in labor circles. 1t is simply rank
demagogism to attempt to take adj
vantage of these troubles for political
effect only, and the party that will do
so ought to meet with overwhelming
defeat.
The trouble between capital and
labor, which has been thrust upon
the people of this country this sum-
mer needs close study and careful
consideration so that the real causes
may be arrived at and steps taken
looking to their elimination from the
future. Were it not that the attempt
of Democracy, to make capital out of
the misfortunes that have come be-
cause of the strikes, has proven {
boomerang to it, one might well de-
spair that the problem would ever be
solved, but the prompt snuffing out of
partisan desires gives much encourage
ment for the future.

WHY SO NARROW2

The FREE PRESS has noticed that
some of its exchanges object to the
further agitation of the road improve
ment question, because prominent
bicycle manufacturing company is in
terested in the matter and is largely
responsible for awakening the inter
est that has thus far been manifested
in this direction, and that if the agi-
tation proves successful they would
receive the chief benefit, because of
the increased demand that would
spring up for the bike. No doubt but
there is some truth in the statement
that bicycle manufacturers would
profit from increased sales as a result
of good roads, but to the FREE PRESS
it looks like narrowmindednes to OPP
pose matter of such Importance
from such standpoint. The thous-
ands who would be induced to buy
wheels because of better roads would
be benefited thereby, and the farmers
because of the increased advantages
it would give them would reap most
beneficial results. To compel the
farmers to continue hauling half a
load over poor roads, at large expense,
simply because the building up of a
good, solid roadbed would also in
ure to the benefit of some manu-
featuring concern, is good deal like a
man cutting off his nose to spite his
face. Let US have good roads-roads
over which one can travel as easily
in bad weather as in good, and not
worry over the particular benefit some
certain individual may reap there
from, but rather consider the good
that will come to the many.
