chases are Republican. Democrats can
not support the Sherman act, directly or
indirectly. What is not Democratic, is

help to increase the Secretary's popu-
arity.-KnoxYille Tribune.

in few months.-Sparta Expositor.
The newspaper, citizen, or official who
upholds mob rule may gain temporary

The Kansans who are importing ne
