lynchers have been punished for their
crime.
Denver Republican: The improvement
In business is probably no better shown
anywhere than in the cattle trade. There
Ia more activity in the cattle business
now than at any previous time for years
past.
Springfield Republican: In Kentucky
the past year there have been five lynch
ings and five legal executions for all cap
ital crimes, which shows that the forces
OF law have caught up with the mob and
are giving the latter hard race.
Pittsburg Dispatch On the whole the
outlook for permanently high prices for
wheat is not good. Labor in Russia and
Argentina is cheaper than in America,
and the American farmer is that much at
a disadvantage.
Chattanooga Times: They are talking
Of running Mr.. Bryan for Governor Of
Nebraska on the Populist ticket as pre-
liminary to the Presidential election Of
1900. That's right; Mr.. Bryan's name
would sound all right at the head of
POpulist ticket.
indianapolis News: II Congress will
only do It's duty and establish the gold
standard on a permanent and lasting
basis Il will be possible for us all to look
forward to long period of financial
peace and stability. To that end every
effort Of the currency reformers should
be directed
Kansas City Star: The American
party, which was organized in st. Louis
yesterday, is probably the last Of the new
parties of which the country will hear
for some years to come. The era for or
ganizing new parties passed away with
the hard times. While business goes on
growing at the present rate the Ameri-
can people will find no time to bother
with the organization of new parties.
Chicago News: There is a vast differ
ence between the philosophical anarchist
and the force anarchist. And the latter
may believe in force, but never practice
It, Still both are anarchists, and how
they can be legally kept out of the United
States Is something we cannot under
stand If the government can solve the
problem and keep them out, so much the
better This country Is not suffering for
the lack Of few anarchists.
Andrew Carnegle-interview in Lon
dom | am satisfied that the American
republic has started at last upon a career
Of genuine prosperity, which will drive |
into the background the agitation for |
reduced standard of value-which has |
been the cardinal impediment in the way
Of her prosperity The recent fall of |
silver and the promise for an augmented |
supply of gold coming gives me conf

Mobile Register: The evils Of resort |
to mob law are most strikingly illus |
trated in the recent case in Louisiana |
where three Italians were lynched for
supposed completely in murder. We |
read the evidence at hand at the time |
and were convinced that 1t was not |
strong enough to convict the men. Now

who admits his guilt. This, however, |
will not bring the three victims back to
life again.
Nashville American: There Is dis
position on the part Of some Of our es-
teemed Democratic contemporaries to
look askant at the approach Of General |
Prosperity They frown at his footsteps |
and mutter as IL the General were an
unwelcome guest, one likely to bring |

altogether mistaken view, and no more
cordial welcome should be accorded to
so wholesome visitor from any quarter
than from the camp of the true DemOc-
racy.
