HE Is NOT THE PEOPLE.

One of the most amusing perform
ances of Mr.. Bryan is his unconscious
imitation Of that French monarch
whose famous saying, II am the state. ]"
has come down to us in history. The
Chicago candidate for the presidency
chooses In all his speeches to assume
that he is the people Talking at Raj
eigh the other day, he evinced a cer-
tain sensitiveness because the ministers
of religion in general were taking up
the cause of public honesty and honor
against him. He says that when min
listers denounce the advance of free
coinage they "denounce the great mass
of the people" And again, he holds
them up to retribution for resorting to
abusive language in their description
of the great masses of the people of this
country"
It Is an Interesting speculation
as to whether this is mere rhet-
ORIG on the part of Mr. Bryan. or
whether he has really pulled himself
up with the conceit that he is the peo-

He began the agitation in his first
inaugural message, in which he said he
could see no difference between fur-
n1shing sewers, water, parks and boul-
eyards and supplying light. The out
come was legislation authorizing the
city to sell bonds and build an electric
light plant. This has been in fulJ
operation since last October. Up to
that time the light had been furnished
by private company, and the cost for
each arc hight in the last year was
1924. The entire city is now lighted
by its own arc lights in addition to
the incandescents supplied. 1t has 4SS
arc lights, and their average cost, dur
ing the nine months following the in
stallation of the entire public plant,
has been an annual average Of $84.7O
per lamp. This includes a charge
against each lamp of $16.18 a year for
interest charge on the bonds.
Meanwhile Brooklyn is having an
experience in the way of cost OF light
in the opposite direction. The seven
independent companies that supplied
gas had, under the force of competi-
ticn, reduced the price to 80 cents a
thousand. Recently these companies
were consolidated, the capital fixed at
SIS, 900, 600, largely water, and the price
of gas raised to $1.25. This sharp adj
vance has stirred the Brook1ynites to
the depths Of their capacious pockets,
and agitation Is rife for city ownership
of the gas works. One result of these
experiments by cities in the matter
OF owning their own plants for supply
ing light is the demonstration that the
private companies are excessive in
their charges, and unless the latter

THE NEW MAN A FAILURE.

When Miss Olive Schreiner, author
of 1.-THE Story of An African Farm"
married Mr. Cronright, and he adopted
her name instead of requesting her to
take his, three continents were inter
ested in this picturesque if slightly alb
ject tribute to the personality of Mrs.
Cronright Schreiner, and a great many
people wondered idly how it was go
ing to turn out. Recent reports from
South Africa tell us that the couple are
in somewhat straitened circumstances.
Mr.. Cronright, who was a farmer and
member Of the South African par
lament, gave up politics and farming
upon his marriage to become his wife's
amanuensis. They are now living in
two rooms and a kitchen in Kimberly,
and Mrs. Schreiner cooks the family
meals over an Oil stove The precarious
family income Is derived from her
small royalties and magazine work.
Thus, it would seem that when the
new woman and the new man. become
one, she is the one, and we would be
willing to venture the assertion that
in the world
When woman is the home
keeper merely, there Is no par
ticular hardship involved in living in
two rooms and a kitchen and getting
the meals over an oil stove. If she
has talent for her work, artistic liv
ing is perfectly possible, though not
frequent. under such circumstances.
But If she is at the same time the head
Of the family and the bread winner.
making their living by intellectual Ia
bors, the situation becomes a little
complicated. It is difficult for a mere
ly mortal woman to do justice to two
such professions as literature and
housekeeping, when she has no as
sistance in the latter. 1t may be that
Mr.. Cronright Schreiner wipes the
dishes, but even the most docile man
can hardly be trained to do more than
that. The effect of the situation on
Mrs. Schreiner's literary output is
marked. She has written nothing Of
any consequence. No new books have
come from her pen since marriage. and
her magazine writing has been
strained and petulant in character and
quite unworthy of an author of her
power, as 1t was revealed in her early
work.
1t is safe to declare that an or
binary marriage, in which the man
would have borne his traditional share
of the family burden, would have had
happier effect on the woman's genius
Assuming that Mr.. Schreiner Is an ex-
ample of the new man, the new man
is obviously the wrong husband for the
new woman. The latter, we have been
told, desires above all things an OBJ
portunity for self-development and
self-expression. Apparently she is more
likely to obtain these in a union with
the prevailing variety of man than
with the gentle creature who will take
her name and become her secretary.
First and last, a good deal has been
said about man, the tyrant. 1t begins
to seem just possible that even from
the feminine point of view he is prefer
able to man, the slave

grants who arrive each year, almost
every one bringing cash with him.
These are falsehoods culled from the
first three columns. His prize effort in
mendacity, however, Is the following:
The fact is there was a great fall in
wages between 1873 and 1880. There
was a slight rally in 1880, due to causes
which I shall explain presently. These
lasted for a comparatively short time,
and, since that time, there has been
steady decline in wages When Gov
Altgeld tells this truly amazing lie,
he is talking about the statements con-
tanned in the Aldrich report of the SEN
ate committee. In the letter by Prof
Laughlin published in the Globe on
Sept. 10, there is printed a table of
wages taken from that report. 1t says
that, If the wages paid in 1860 are
taken as a standard and called 100,
the wages of 1873 would be represented
by 1888: of 1879 by 1898; of 1885 by
1907 and of 1881 by 1907 We do not
often admit the word "lie" to these
columns. But this assertion of Gov
Altgeld as to the contents of a docu-
ment which has been public property
for the last three years cannot be
characterized by any milder term.
We might continue this list indefi-
nitely by quotations from his speech,
such, for instance, as that there has
been scarcely any improvement in ma
chinery- for raising and harvesting
wheat in the last twenty years." and
that credit rests on money" whereas,
In its most useful form, that repre-
sented by loans against all kinds Of
collateral, by mortgages on real es-
tate and by all city, county, state and
national Indebtedness whatever, it
rests upon property alone. We think,
however, enough has been said to ex-
hibit the singular daring of this man
who appears on the platform in one
of the greatest cities of this country
to present publicly a texture of false
hoods, known to be such by every man
familiar with recent history and every
day statistics The vatery arguments
Of Mr.. Bryan and the profane and
blasphemous outbursts of Tillman are
eminently respectable beside this at
tempt to urge the American people to
their ruin by wholesale denial Of facts.

| ter that is of Importance here. The
| total of assessed valuations is a meas
ure of the aggregate indebtedness
which, under the constitution and the
statutes, municipality may incur. We
believe that, with the legislation al
ready passed, giving liberal margin
| to cities for increasing their debt in
order to control their water systems
and other absolutely essential city i'm
provements, the total percentage of
debt authorized is as high as is con-
sistent with safety. We believe
that it will be a blessing to
all these cities to have their valua-
hibft the issue of any more bonds for
some years to come. They have re-
arranged their affairs under the d.
rection of that sober sense and bust
after a boom has vanished. Let them
stand on that foundation for some time
to come at least. Therefore. we re-
peat, the first thing which we hope
w
is to make no substantial change in
the realty values of the counties
| named.
AS to what they may do with the
comparative valuations in these coun-
ties and in others, they are, of course,
their own masters, and the only fit APP
peal to make to them is to do impair
tial justice to all concerned, without
| fear or favor to either city or country.
The statistics have been presented
many times in these columns which
show, for example, that the people Of
ST. Paul have paid in the past a dis
proportionate share of the revenue of
the state of Minnesota. They have
contributed more, relatively, than the
people of Minneapolis and Duluth.
They have contributed much more, rel
atively, than the people of the smaller
cities and the country. This not only
entities them to present relief, but
there should be taken into account in
adjusting matters for the future the
fact that they have done more than
their equal part in the past We do
not mean that there should be any
thing in the nature of lower assess
ment now than is equitable to compen-
safe them for past over-payments. We
do mean that they should have full
consideration for the many times
! greater decline in the value of their
landed property than any of the other
portions of the state.
| This is a case where no cry for
/ favor should be listened to, no matter
| from what source it originates. 1t is
our opinion, knowing all the facts, that
| the valuation Of Ramsey county real
estate should stand as fixed. It is
greatly to the interest Of our people,
and in no way to the detriment Of any
! others, that this should be done. The
board of equalization can then decide
what it thinks is in perfect fairness
| due to the people of the other coun-
/ ties, and should base it's decision upon
| the comparative change in the actual
valuations and present selling price Of
real estate in the different counties
when the old valuation was made and
| at the present time.

own reiterated statement that "he is

CAN FALsEHooD WIN,

Mr. John P. A1tge1d is acknowledged
to be the brains of the proposed new
Confederacy. The Chicago platform
was largely his work and Endorsed his
scheme of dissolution of the Union by
multiplying it's laws, as we'll as his
scheme of dissolving our partnership
with the other commercial nations of
the world by a descent to the silver
basis. Therefore, when Mr.. Altgeld
rises, as he did at Central Music hall
at Chicago last night, to give a reason
for the faith that is in him, the oc-
have no space in which to review the
enormously voluminous speech of Mr..
Altgeld, making thirteen columns of
printed matter in ALL But we have
read 1t through carefully and we say
deliberately that no more diabolical at
tempt was ever made to mislead the
voters of this country by outright and
wholesale falsehood. We have all pos
sible respect for those who differ hon
estly from our opinions. We have in
finite patience with the arguments of
those who have got hold of half truth
and are sincerely convinced by it. But
Gov. Altgeld is no mans fool. He has
more intelligence and more informa
ton than all the rest of the Chicago
aggregation put together When Gov.
Altgeld makes a statement, he knows
whether 1t is true or not. And we find
1T unnecessary to answer in any de-
tail his Chicago deliverance, because
it is composed of series of assertions
most of which we brand on their face
as deliberate, premeditated, Intentional
falsehoods; known to be such by the
man who spoke them, and used with
intent to deceive men without access
to the sources of true information. Be-
side such man as this, one who is
honestly mistaken appears as an angel
of light.
very few samples will suffice Gov.
Altgeld pretends to answer the speech
es of Carl Schurz and Mr.. Bourke
Cochran. He opens by saying that
both acknowledge that the country is
In distress, but neither suggested any
remedy. This is falsehood number one.
Both Of them assert truly that the
cause of our distress Is. first. bad
money in the past and the fear of more
of it in the future. and, second. over
speculation. Both agree that a suffi-
cient remedy would come in the ces-
sation of free silver agitation and in
the steady devotion to industry and
frugality of the American people. nv
which alone prosperity was ever
achieved or ever will be. He asserts
as falsehood number two. that the
distress from which we suffer exists
all over Europe, as we'll as this coun-
try" 1t is fact borne out by all wit
nesses and all trade reports that the

policy coming home to roost in the In
difference Of the other European pow
ers and the hostile attitude of Ger
many and Russia, looks about for pos
sible allies, and SO great is her pres
ent isolation that her fancies reach far
across the Atlantic. Still one would
have thought that nobody in Great
Britain could make O. blunder SO ridicu-
lous. While the sympathy of the peo-
pie of the United States Is entirely
with the wretched subjects of the mon
ster who rules at Constantinople, and
while we believe that big army could
be raised In this country to go over to
the Orient and sweep the Turk into
the bottomless pit where he belongs,
such action, even IL we were wrought
to the high pitch that would bring 1t
about, would still be Independent Of
any other power. A "dreibund' for the
intimidation or subsection Of Turkey,
or for any other purpose on the face
of the earth, involving an offensive
and defensive alliance between the
United States and any European gov
eminent, Is simply unthinkable. The
nearest that we ever came to any such
Samoa, which, unimportant as it was,
was severely and justly criticised by
those who realized the Importance of
maintaining absolute independence of
foreign monarchs.
The st. James Gazette is strangely
ignorant of the fact that the Monroe
doctrine, to which the United States
has just declared anew it's passionate
attachment, involves unqualified hos
tility to "entangling alliances" 1t is
just as much opposed to- having US go
philandering off into other parts of the
world, hunting in couples with gov
ernments across the seas, as 1t is to
permitting them to interfere in the af-
fairs of American republics The two
declarations go everywhere together.
The Monroe doctrine is a two-edged
sword. The right of the United States
to say to the rest of the world that it
shall not interfere In affairs of the
American continent in the way that
will jeopardize our interests is
conditioned upon it's own alb
stention from interference with
the affairs of the governments of other
continents. Let no one ever dream
that we will abandon that position.
Let no European dare imagine that the
United States would ever be drawn in
to the engagements between the pow
ers of Europe that were conceived in
order to bolster up despotic rule and
keep the people in subsection, and
whose sole practical effect has been to
perpetuate tyranny and crime. There
will be no "dreibund' nor any other
kind of "bund" that acknowledges the
United States as member. This
country will neither permit European
encroachments upon American soil.
nor will it ever involve itself in the
hopeless tangle of the balance of DOW
er in Europe. One Of Gods best gifts
to us Is our national isolation. We will
preserve it at every cost
