no matter what his politics may be. In
stead of being snuffed out he seems TO
be obtaining stronger hold than ever
and to be preparing for new displays OF
autocratic power in national as well as
in state politics. To the casual observer
it NAV seem merely a coincidence that
the three political bosses who have just
obtained new leases OF power in their
respective states-Brce In OHIO. German
in Maryland. and Qaay in Pennsylvania
should be three senators who were
during the long and hard fight over The
sugar schedule OF the tariff bill regarded
as the best friends OF the sugar trust In
the senate. Bus those who make q
study OF such things it was not con-
cidence at all, but Il demonstration o!
the power OF trusts IN our politics. re-
by the trusts IN The senate and Ia turn
the trusts helped them TO stamp out OPP
position in their respective parties at

was admitted by one of the sugar trust
officials during the so called inves;iga-
ton by q senate committee that the
trust contributed money TO either or
both political parties to protect its in
terests. 1t is probable that 1t contri-
buted money to aid these three political
bosses TO get II new grip on the party
machinery in their respective states. not
forgetting. however. to take mortgages
on their persons for future usa. The

Secretary Carlisle was not over anX-
ious to take any furtder part in the
Kentucky campaign, but the administra-
tion concluded that if he remained away
1t would look like encouraging the adj
ministraticn Democrats in Kentucky 10
make war upon Hardin because he con-
tended for free silver, aud that would
make a precedent that might make
serious trouble in other states. So the
secretary will 90 TO Kentucky end take
the stump a little later 90. and try to
bring about harmony. The admnistra-
ton is somewhat alarmed about the

hesitated to say that If the Republicans

Labor Day. the 'workingman's Fourth

According to two official reports re.
ceived at the department OF justice The
recent Indian trouble In Wyoming wa.
caused by white men. The United
States district attorney for Wyoming
says In his report: II have no doub,
whatever that the killing of the Indian
on or about the 18th of July, was an
atrocious, outrageous end cold blooded
murder, and that 1t was murder per

his deputies in pursuance OF schem,
and conspiracy on their part to preven
the Indians exercisinga right and priv

prosecution be determined upon 1t woulC
