But what use have we for navy

grabbed land in all corners of the
globe like the English where ever a
weak or half civilized people were
found, and now need a great navy
to keep what they have got by
robbery. What the United States
most needs to maintain supremacy
among the nations is a people pos
sessing homes and the comforts of
civilization, which they do not now
universally have. In these things
lie the strength of free people. In
navies and standing armies lie the
strength of monarchies. When the
United States begin to copy mon
archy by providing the tools of
despotism the Empire and dynasty
are almost in sight. An empower
ished and disconnected people need
a great army and navy to keep
them under and obedient to ruling

the masses. This is necessarily SO.
Wealth seeks for special privileges which
on national scale can only be secured by
law. Wealth always secludes itself in a
small class of the people. All special
privileges. enjoyed by these small classes
small in numbers-must be at the expense
of the mass of the people. 1t is we'll
known that wealth stops at nothing that
obstructs its aim towards absorbing every
thing within its reach, and if not success
fully resisted will in the end reduce the
great producing masses to dependent
state of poverty which is to all intents and
purposes condition of slavery.
In the vocabulary of combined wealth
there are no words siguifying justice or
morality. When the voluntary and eager
haste of the entire wealth classes, iudi-

and pouring into one common fund their
millions, in order to estop by every effort
no matter how foul, fair expression of
the peoples wishes as at the late election,
it is solemn warning to the people of
the danger that congregated greed threat
ems popular institutions. Delegated gov
eminent has proven failure as the shock
ing abuses under the aegis of law, in both
States and nation demonstrate, and there
is no safety for the people but the restora-
ton of the law making power to their
hands. Notwithstanding our loud boast
ing of popular education by free schools,
the ignorance of the masses is so dense on
affairs of public concern that the restora.
ton of political power to their own hands
is contamination that is very doubtful.
The huge corruption fund contributed
by concentrated wealth in the late cam
paign is fearful menace which should
arouse the Supplied people, large masses
of whom are Supplied by poverty and the
degradation of homelessness.

Money in Politics.

In another column is published a brief
history of the part money played in the
late Presidential campaign. Aside from
any party consideration this history has
interest for every student of government
1t is but the shadow of the evil which has
overtaken every Old World republic or
popular form of government except that
of Switzerland. Switzerland is a noun
famous and comparatively poor country,
but nevertheless, was threatened by the
same evil genius, the corruption of the
ballot and legislator by the use of money.
and was only rescued from the peril by
restoring the law making power to the
hands of the people aud retaining it there.
This is called the referendum"
After bill has been formulated and
passed by legislature and is referred
back to the people to decide by popular
vote whether said act shall become law,
is called the Referendum. That no re.
public with a delegated form of govern
ment is safe or can stand the test OF time
has been abundantly proven in the worlds
history; and the evidence of the past is
being verified in the political history of
the United States as whole and in every
individual State. The unparalleled fund
which was contributed by concentrated
wealth and placed in the hands of an un-
scrupulous organizer for a semi-corruption
purpose, in the last canvass, should prove
a serious object lesson for the people.
In political, or affairs of government,
wealth has always been arrayed against

Tours to California.

California has been most fittingly
termed the "Italy of America. "
All the delicious balm, the cloud
less sky, and the rich verdure of
the great European peninsula are
duplicated in this sunny land of the
Pacific. Here nature basks in the
sunshine of her own beauty; and
here she has established her own
sanitarium, where eternal spring
inspires everlasting youth. With
the snow mantled peaks of the
Sierras upon the one hand, the
calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and veritable
paradise of flowers, fruits, and
plants between, man can find and
needs no lovelier land. TO visit
such country is privilege, a
blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, recognizing the need of a
more comfortable and pleasant way
of crossing the continent, inaugu
rated series of annual tours to
California, running through train
of Pullman palace cars from New
York to the Pacific Coast, and
stopping at the principal points of
interest en- route. The great popu-
larity of these tours demonstrates
the wisdom of the movement.
For the season of 1897 three tours
have been arranged to leave New
York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
January y, February "a, and
March 81.
The first tour will run direct to
San Diego via st. Louis and the
Santa Fe Route, and return from
San Francisco via Salt Lake City,
Denver, and Chicago, allowing five
weeks in California.
The second tour will run via the
Mammoth Cave and New Orleans
to San Diego, stopping at the
"Crescent City" during the Mardi
Gras Carnival. This tour will re-
turn via Salt Lake City, Denver,
Omaha, and Chicago, allowing four
weeks in California.
The third tour will run via
Chicago, Denver, and Salt Lake
City, allowing passengers to return
by regular trains via different
routes within nine months.
All of these tours, either going
or returning, will pass through the
famous Colorado region, GlenwOod
Springs, Leadville, and the Garden
Of the Gods.
Rates from all points on the
Pennsylvania Railroad System east
of Pittsburg: First tour, $40;
second tour, $3.50; third tour, 1910

practical POLITICS.
How Hanna Conducted the Republican
Campaign

Various stories anoat relative to the
recent Republican campaign fund have
created amusement i'll political circles,
says the New York Journal, because the
sums alleged to have been furnished Mr.
Hanna are so far short Of the actual cash
amounts contributed. Reports from the
same source differ, one stating that the
Republican national committee had
81 600, 900 to eXpend, another raising
these figures by a million.
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Hannas COM
mittee had upward of $4,000. 900 at its
disposal, if reports of Republicans and
Republican organs are to be credited.
This is only four times the sum usually
spent by national committees during a
presidential election, and not particularly
large when it is considered that all the
financial institutions, railroad companies,
mercantile establishments, protected in
dustries and wealth i'll general were op-
posed to the Democratic ticket and
anxious for the success of the Republicans.
Chairman Hanna, who is intensely
practical and has frequently said that he
conducted the Mckinley campaign as he
would a business, suggested that assess
ments be levied upon states. The agents
in the various states were instructed to
divide prospective contributors into
classes In this way perfect system of
| taxation was secured.
The institutions asked for contributions
were national banks, state banks, savings
banks, trust companies, railroad COM
panies, firms representing foreign fnan-
cial interests and all kinds of manufac.
turing concerns having an interest in high
tariff legislation.
Divided by states, the list of Republican
| contribution looks something like this:
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1896-12-11

These figures, while large to the ordi-
nary citizen, are trivial in view of the
great object to be accomplished and rep
resent probably three-fourths of the sums
actually collected.
In New York, where all financial and
mercantile business centers, the Repub-
| lican national committee secured contri-
buttons from most of the trusts and
foreign bankers, aggregating about
s., ooo,o 900. Here is a list that represents
the leading New York donations
Gould family $4,000
| LaZaru freres ana foreign houses 10000
| Brown Bios & Co. and foreign houses 900
| Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co. lind for
eign houses $4,000
Beim0nt banking mouse ana connections $4,000
J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. and connec. -''0O'
tlons 100000
| vanderbilt family 1000
lefmllye Co. ana connections $4,000
| Morton, Bliss & Co. and connections $4,000
| Presidents of insurance companies 1000 OOO
In considering these lists it must be
recalled that the states contributed
through some trusted agents and that the
firms mentioned acted as collecting
agencies for Mr.. Hanna.
There IS some controversy as to the
Vanderbilt contributions One authority
says VIM. K. Vanderbilt gave $50, 900
and Treasurer Bliss denied the statement,
but it is generally accepted the family
gave the sum credited, $3.50, 900.
Relative to Connecticut, Ex-Governor
Morgan G. Buckley declared prior to the
election that he had obtained the million
dollars he was expected to collect. His
statement was printed in Connecticut
newspapers at the time.
New Jersey gave literally and did it
through Carrot A. Hobart, who, as a
member of the Coal trust, had unusual
facilities for securing contributions.
Pennsylvania had for its collecting
agents such successful managers as Sen,
ator Quay, Andrew Carnegie and H. c.
Prick. The venerable Coils P. Hunting
ton acted for many of the western states,
while Mr.. Hanna himself looked out for
Ohio and Henry Cabot Lodge for Massa-
chusetts and the rest of New England.
| The immense sum thus collected has
not all been expended. There is sur
plus of about s., 900, 900. 1t is because of
this surplus that the national committee
continues i'll permanent headquarters with
an expensive staff. 1t is the first national
committee that ever wound up the cam
palgn with something left over and for
the reason that there was no way to spend
it all.
Aside from the innumerable expenses
OF the two headquarters and the regular
campaign work throughout the country,
1t is notorious that in Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, the Dakotas, Missouri, Nebras,
ka and Iowa the sum of SIS, 900 was given
for special work" in each congressional
district. That amount was also sent into
ex-Representative Sibley's district in
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Hanna was particu-
larly anxious to beat Towne, Sibley and
Ricrad P. Bland because of their interest
i'll the silver cause
How will all these heavy donations be
receipted tor The presumption is that
the distinguished contributors will receive
appointments helpful in a social way, for
Mr.. James J. Van Allen was appointed
minister to Italy, and he gave only
$40, 900 four years ago.

NOT THE SAME DEAN
The Forger Arrested in Utica, n. Y,
VIII Not Be Brought Here
for Trial

Captain Lees received dispatch yester-
day from the Pinkerton detective agency,
Chicago, that Henry E. Desmaries, the
forger arrested in Utica, n. Y, on Friday,
would be tried in Chicago and requesting
him to forward the forged check for $500
on the Anglo-Californian Bank OF this
City.
II am thoroughly satisfied" said the
captain, that there is no connection be-
tween a. ii. Dean, the forger who got
away with $50, 900 from the Nevada Bank,
and the forger arrested in Utica.
The fact of Desmaries having used the
name H. Dean is simply one OF those re-
markable condolences that lead people to
believe that truth is stranger than fiction.
1t is, OF course, possible that Desmaries
may have mer A. H. Dean after being re-
leased from San Quentin last November
and the name might have suggested itself
TO him, but L don't think even that is
possible.
II am glad Desmaries is to be tried in
Chicago, as 1t will save US the expense of
bringing him here for trial and keeping
him for the next fourteen years"

A Montana Railroad Case Appealed
From Judge Beatty's Decision.
The controversy between the Montana
Central Railroad Company and A. F..
Migeon, B. Tlbbey and n. B. Ringiling, in
volving the title to the railroads passen-
ger depot site in Butte, Mont, has been ap-
pealed to the United States Circuit Court
OF Appeals from the decision rendered by
Judge Beatty in the railroads favor last
June. a transcript was filed yesterday
Several mining claims had been located
on the property in dispute, all more or
less overlapping. Among these were the
Morning Star lode claim, the John
Knowles placer claim and the Childe Har-
old lode claim, and the railroad company
had purchased the Knowles claim.
Judge Beattys opinion was TO the effect
that the testimony of the witnesses in the
case had been to create the i'm preston that
Butte City had been practically covered
by blanket of mining claims by persons
who hoped ultimately TO utilize them for
town lots for their surface or real estate
value, and who did not attach any particu-
lar in portance to their mineral values. On

Let it be remembered that these declarations
of Aquinas and Innocent III are relatively In
significant matters; the main facts are the
actions in which such ideas were iIlustra ted.
Looking more to what the Popes did than to
bulls deposing more than a dozen different
sovereigns, including some of England, France,
Germany, Naples, Hungary and Bavaria; that
they required half dozen different soyereigns

they repeatedly issued bulls multiplying treaties,
national constitutions and national laws,
and that the history of every century since the
claim of authority over all national Christian
governments. All these points are presented
distinctly in my esprit of the Papacy," in
noticing which the Westminster Review of
August last says ii ''has piled up Systematically
every possible charge against the papacy, and
has supported its accusations with abundant
authority"
Having responded to the demands made upon
me in your columns and having said all that

now turn to another point, and that is, Mr..

in giving space to the discussion OF the in

advances by the help of strife. Great abuses
are not correc ted without onense TO their Dene-
