HOPING IN VAIN.


Republicans Depending Upon he Cupidity
of Voters for Success.
The republican leaders of the conn-
try base great hopes for the future
uron the general indignation that has
been aroused among the people be-
cause half Il dozen democratic senators
advocate more or less warmly the re-
publican doctrines Of protection ana
oppose any material interference with
the Mckinley bill, which authorized
L., 500 firms, organized into $50 trusts
(mainly private affairs, to levy Tor
their private benefit a yearly tax upon
the people greater than the total OF oil
federal taxes. That the trusts actu-
ally levy and collect only about haIf
that which they arc entitled to by law
is because their organization is not yet
perfect-a fault time will o o remove
But the special iniquity which a few
democratic senators approve, ana
which the republicans expect will
arouse the people to destroy the demo-
cratic party, Is not n OF amount, put
of principle-the principle that the
people can be taxed without their con-
sent by a few mill lords from whom
they receive nothing, not even thanks,
and that the army and navy Of the
United States can oe used to force its
payment.
Republican hopes have always been
placed upon the stupidity or cupidity
of the voters to whom they appealed
for votes, but when they expect the in
telligent and honest masses of the
democratic party to desert their organ
ization in disgust. leaving the govern
ment Of the country to the republicans,
because a few democratic leaders have
been induced in some way to join them
In preventing the repeal Of a republic
an measure establishing this principle
of robbery as the law OF the land, they
will be disappointed.
There nre many republicans who
imagine that the democrats, disguised
at betrayal by their leaders, will join
the republicans and vote for the pro-
lection they abhor. Others expect
them to leave the democratic party
and throw their votes away by scat.
tering on Independent candidates.
Democrats have too much sense to do
either, They know that the fire is
hotter than the frying-pan, the repub-
licnn party in power worse than the
democracy in power and temporarily
paralyzed by the backs'iding of q few
leaders. They understand that all
their past woes have come from com
promises with repuolicanism, or from
leaders tainted with sympathy for re-
publicans, They appreciate to-day
more fully than ever before that they
have this tenderness for the euemy,"
this concord with bclial, t. thank for
every defeat at the polls they have
ever suffered, and that they have only
to drive out every leader in sympathy
with plutocracy, and by SO doing prove
themselves worthy Of public confidence
to receive 1t.
When the democratic voters are
heard from, as they will be at the state
conventions in a few months, as they
have been In Missouri, toey will MOI
only purify the party from the faint o
republi ,anism under which it now SUI
fers, but that publication will be 81
thoroughly done no leader will eve
again dare coquette with either repub
lican principles or protection boodle.-

CUT OR
sword Practice OF the Cavalrymen In the
English Army.

English cavalry swords are made
particularly for cutting Though with
the steel scabbard it is difficult to I'M
lcrstand how a keen edge is to be pre-
served), and in the sword exc rcise cut
ting is very assiduously taught, and
that, especially in the yearly mounted
competition for workmanship prizes,
the value of the point is impressed EN-
p~hatically upon the men. But if our
cavalry were to go into action to-mor-
row, car anyone who knows our sol
diers doubt that the greater number of
them would at once begin to cut at
their enemy?
They have been taught to cut. and
they will cut, quite regardless of the
eyertion which they entail on them
selves, and forgetting that the weap-
n have points as well as edges. If
we compare the value of the point
with that Of the cut as regards its eff
feet on an enemy, it is UNNECESSARILY
the more effective. In a cut, even if
the sword does not turn in the hand
and if the edge falls true, it is always
more than likely that it will encounter
a button, a belt, ora pouch, which will
prevent it from penetrating; the cut,
too, depends entirely on the vigor of
the soldiers arm, and is not assisted in
any way by the crash and Impetus of
the charge. Except in a very small
minority of eases, it's results will gen.
orally be a bruise or a slight flesh
wound.
TO deliver a point, on the other
hand, requires little physical excrtion.
The sheer weight of horse and man be-
hind the sword is sufficient to drive it
through almost anything. If the point
does hit a piece of metal, it will prob
ably only slip on to a spot more easily
pierced, and if it does enter into The
body of mai or horse, IL wound, s.ri-
Gus, if not fatal, will surely be in.

leon were armed with swords made es.

M'kINLEYlSM AND TRUSTS.
1ignileaut Fact brought to Light In the
Sugar Squabbie.

AiBhiiiehut rhCts brOuEhG 60 AlEhV Al tne
Sugar squabbie.
The head OF the sugar trust frankly
told the senate investigating commit
tee that the trust contributed, as its
books would show, to democratic cam
paign funds In democratic states, and
to republican campaign funds in re-
publican states. 1t did not contribute
to the funds of the minority party In
any state. The trust had no politics
but the politics Of business" 1t did
not contribute to promote the success
Of any party or Its principles, butt 1t did
contribute to promote the interests Of
the trust. That was the politics OF
business"
1t was after the publication Of this
precious testimony of the boss of the
trust that tho Mckinley organs re-
peated the stale falsehood that the
pending tariff bill favored 1.-THE octopus
sugar trust because Its members are
democrats who donate freely to the
campaign funds of that party" The
organs assume that their readers read
their editorials but do not read their
news dispatches from Washington.
After II. o. Havemeyer, Mr.. Searles,
another conspicuous member of the
trust, appeared as a witness before the
committee, and In the course of his ex-
animation the following colloquy shed
light on an important point;
Senator Allen-You may state briefly what
difference, in your judgment, there Is between
the Mckinley act and the pending act as the
senate proposes to amend 1t, or has amended
1t, to the American Sugar Refining company;
which Is the better act for your
Mr., searles-The Mckinley bill by far.
Senator Allen--How muohi
Mr.. Searles-I think one-half. That Ia what /
think. The protection In the margin to the re-
nner In the proposed schedule Is not over one
half Of what 1t is in the Mckinley bill.
How did 1t come to pass that the Nc,
Kinley tariff was made better "by far
for the sugar trust than the senate
schedule is? Was it because the mem
bers OF the trust are republicans who
donate freely to the campaign funds Of
that party?" In illustrating the manner
In which the trust practiced the poll
itics OF business, H. 0. Havemeyer
mentioned Massachusetts, as a repuk-
lican state. Neither he nor his brother
Theodore, who testified later, would
give particulars, but " is an unayoidnl
BILE inference from their general state
ments that the trust contributed to ra1
publican campaign funds in states
