put money in circulation except through
wages paid. Issuing government bonds
doesn't make circulation. The laborers

.yVish Themselves Dead"

Some OF the country prass Of Mlnn"-
sofa have been finding fault with Don
nelly because when travelling he stops at
good hotels, wherenpon this Sage of Mn
niger hits back" Though the S.. Pau
Globe in his usual fe,iciGus style as follows:
'We wore not aware that tho nasty i'm
bcciiit!es of the country press were
making our private affairs q matter OF
man cannot take the part of a farmer I'M
less he is covered with manure to the arm
pits. Their idea of what a farmer should
be ia u peasant, a barbarian and . boor,
dwelling in II howell and living on hog
feed. This is what they have been labor
ing for twenty-five years to bring him to.
Our idaa of q farmer is a gentleman, a
scholar, a thinker; dressed in good clothes
and owning a fine library; living on the
best the land can afford. and housed in a
comfortable home, with all tho modern
~conveniances. That is what we are try
ing to bring him to. In every country but
this the owner of the soil is an aristocrat,
here he is n serf.
"If we can pay our hotel bills what bus
mess is it to the shangdoodles and snolY-
gesters Of the old party country press
where we lodge? If they had had their
say we should have starved to death long
ago. They have kept US out of Office, to
the infinite injury of the state, for TWEEN
ty-tive years, and they were paid for it.,
but it has not prevented usyfrom making
a comfortable living in the meantime, and
building up a reputation which extends
around the habitable globe. There are
thousands in Europe who simply know of
Minnesota because we live in it. Our in
come from our books and writings has
been $1,000 a year; and yet these "miser-
ables,'' who live on the pest the csckroach-
es cannot eat, think we ought not to board
in q frst-class hotel {! Their insolence Is
as bound!ess as their ~venality. Is there
no way the state can take a dose of med
icine and expel these coprolites? They
are a disgrace to humanity.
"For %ourself, we do not stand in he at
titude of a begger or supplicant to the
farmers OR any one else. We take the
side of the people because God Almighty
will not permit us to do otherwise; we
have never made penny by it, and never
shall: bnt we have lost thousands of dol
lars in the cause. We do right because it
is right; and we nave the pleasing consci-
business that those we labor for will prob
ably be the first to kick us whenever an
opportunity presents itself, But right is
right if VIC are kicked to pieces. oh,

The British officials in Shanghai
have sent :n ultimatum 10 the Chinese
\ iceroy demanding a settlement of
the Chung King affair The Briti-h
demands are that Taotai Sheng be dis
missed and degraded, the Chung King
is to he saluted with twenty-one guns
from the Tuku forts, aud u money in
1emni'y is to be paid to the .wncrs of
the Chung King. If these demands
are net complied with within the speci-
fled time. reprisa,s upon the part of the
British fleet are threatened.
The CHI ng King affair is n of the
remar able incidents of the war be-
tween China and Japan. and may have
serious results. On Aug. 4 last u Tien
Tsin dispatch announced that thirteen
Japanese soldiers. who had been forci-
bly, removed by the Chinese from the
British 3 eamship Chung King, were
returned Immediately upon the Vice.
roy. Iii Hung Chang, being notified, and
it was added that the N%iceroy apollo
gi>ed to the British Consul. On Aug.
!, however, u dispatch from Shanghai
announced the arrival there OF tho
steamship Chung King, and the Cap
tain Of that vessel gave his version of
Gus aspect. The Captain said that
while his ship was at Tungku on the
Gulf of lie Chi Ii. Chinese soldiers
went on board of her for the purpose
OF CLING the japanese passengers.
They found on beard that steamship
sixty Japanese, mostly women and
children, and at once began to hunt
them down. The Oh nese pursued tho
Japanese all over the vessel, bound
them hand and foot u soon as caught
and flung them Owe on the VIVA +. Ii

AID a ringing Endorsement of protec-
ton and other fundamental principles
of Repablicanism. 1t means that
stagnated business and lack of employ
ment have had their etfe t on the peo-
die. The men who voted for Cleve-
land in 1892, relying on the
Democratic promise of high wages
and cheap foreign goods. have
found out that the two things do not
go together. They have the cheap
goods, but they have not the wages
with which to buy them. This dis.
covery that Democratic pledges are
not to be trusted has been made O
only by the workinomen OF the North
but by those of the Industrial districts
of the South. West Virginia does not
sympathize with Chairman Wilson in
his demand for free trade in coal and
its other products, or with his promise
to the Englishmen at the London ban
quet that the protection fences should
be thrown down. The English manu-
f%acturers will not read with pleasure
the news from America.
But the American manufacturers
n merchants and busine: smen rom
orally can rally round thu old flag
that the Cleveland-W Wilson Blount ag-
gregation hauled down, and draw a
long breath of relief. They are safe
from molestation during the next
business without fear of destructive
tariff changes in the neal future.
They will feel that they do not have to
wade through two more years of
strikes and every other form of indus
trial discomfort. And seeing that the
workingmen are alive to their real in
terests this year the business men
have reaso to hope that those work.
ingmen will show equal good sense
two yea 8 hence.
The Democrats have had their day.
They have had their swing for two
years. They have been given a chance
to show how thoroughly they know
II art OF government. The expert
ment has satisfied the country that
wise ruling is not the forte of tho
Democracy. and that that party should
resume its old post Of critic and censor
OF the Republicans. Tho Democrats
have plunged the country into q panic.
They have given it a surfeit of hard
times. With what face can they,
after what they have done, ask to be
given again the control of the General
government? The country has had
enough. Away with Democracy!
Chairman Faulkner, of tho Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee. at the
time this is written, comedies the Re.
Publicans forty. majority in the next
Congress. This In q nutshell expresses
the terrific rebuke given by the coun-
try to the party OF free trade. The
Republicans will have at least EOS to

ocrsts and Populists. in the next

House. This assures the control of
twenty-seven States, q clear majority
in case the elect on of President should
be thrown into the House.
This landslide majority represents q
gain of sixty to se%venty-tive seats.
Besides this it is hoped to gain Sem
ators in West Virginia, Delaware and
New Jersey, and to save Wyoming,
Illinois, Nebra .ka and Colorado. The
new that Wilson, of West Virginia,
was defeated prepared the Democrats
for the subsequent reports of alarming
inroads made by Republicans into the
border States of the erstwhile solid
South. Next to Wilson, Springer, of
Illinois, has engaged the gossips. Yet
his defeat was not entirely unexpected.

Maryland returns four Republicans,
Kentucky two, Missouri three, Della
ware possibly one, and Alabama posi-
bly, two. Add to these Louisiana three.
South Carolina one, North Carolina
two, Tennessee three, and Virginia
possibly three, and the strength of the
Now South will be appreciated. Not
all of these Southern gains will ma
t~erialize after tho Democrats get
through counting, perhaps, but no
amount Of fraud can change the gen.
eral result.
Not a single Republican district has
yet been dropped from the list. The
gains in the North are yet more re-
markable than those Just mentioned.
New York shows up with twenty four
to twenty-five Republican Congress-
men. Wisconsin with eight, Indiana
with eight, and Illinois with sixteen. In
Michigan, where the Democrats had
attempted to gerrymander the State,
the Republicans elect q solid delega-
ton. Iowa will have not more than
one Democrat in the next House, and
perhaps a Republican delegation. Ohio
elects sixteen Republicans at least,
while Pennsyl. ania justitics it, repu-
tation as the banner Republican
