Our fathers never dreamed of time
when the "Aggressions of American
Wealth" would excite the sympathy of an
aristocratic British paper for the masses in
this country. The London Spectator. refer
ring to the retirement of President An
drews from Brown University and Professor
Bemis from Chicago University, says:
We can scarcely escape the conclusion
that conspiracy exists among the heads
of trusts in America to interfere with the
freedom Of teaching in the universities SO
far as economic questions are concerned,
in order that nothing shall be uttered
which has not received the trademark of
monopolistic approval. Capitalists have
subsidized the pulpits, bought up the
press, seated well paid attorneys in the
Senate and finally have stretched their
hands ont to colleges, which are easily
captured by such generosity as Mr.. Rookie
feller's. Apparently it is their intention
to convert the United States into power
full obligarchy and they will extend the
sway of that obligarchy to other lands
where they can.

Lessons From Indiana.

The Democratic victory on Tuesday in
the Fourth Indiana Congressional District,
lately represented by Judge William s.
Holman. is fact which must be taken
into consideration by those who may try
to figure out the results of the coming Fall
elections. There were three candidates to
fill the vacancy, Democratic, Republican
and Populist, and each made thorough
canvass. On straight political vote, with
all three parties polling their strength, the
district should be Republican under the
new apportionment, which was intended
to outset the "Great Director" and sue
ceeded in 1894. Last year the average
majority of the silver fusion ticket was TAT,
and in 1894 the Porulists polled 1,517
votes in the counties composing the district,
which gave Republican plurality of 278,
although in 1892 the Populists polled only
lila votes and the Democrats had q
plurality of 1857. Last year there was no
Populists running. 1t was straight fight
between Holman and the Republicans, but
the Populists voted for him, and Holman
carried the district by 1926. This year the
Populists had candidate, and in some
counties they stood yaliantly by him, poll
ing about 600 votes The plurality of
Marion S. Griffith the Democratic nominee,
is LISP, or clear majority of about 500
over both his Republican and Populist OPP
ponents. The convention which placed
him in the field endorsed the Chicago
platform and declared for William J.
Bryan as the party's Presidential candidate
in 1900. The vote would seem to indicate
that the Democratic party has not lost
ground since last year but gained in
strength and that large proportion of the
Populists will heneeforth be found in its
ranks.

The Pension Roll.

The pension roll of the United States
has almost reached the 100000 mark.
Commissioner Evans has just issued a
statement showing that, at the beginning
of the fiscal year, the pensioners numbered
just 983, 528. increase of 1850 for the past
year. During that yesr 5O,161 new PEN
sions were granted and 1871 persons were
restored to the rolls.
Old age and disease, however, is working
great inroads into the lists, for there were
1880 deaths during the year. Other
sources Of loss were ,o74 from remarriage
of widows; ] .S45 orphans attained majority;
1858 failures to claim pensions, and $3.50
from unrecordsd causes.

1t is noted that every old calamity
bowler of the past has developed into a
prosperity boomer, and all because our
neighbors across the sea are larger pur-
chasers than usual of our staple agricul-
tural products. We are thankful that we have
what these millions must have to sustain
life, but that isn't the kind of prosperity a
great Matt IN can build ON. The pros
perity that follows general business ac-
tivity is what the country at large will
rejoice in, and everyone recognize as the
genuine article.

Senator Hanna is running his cam
paign for reelection to the Senate out in
Ohio just as he ran the National campaign
all over the country last Fall. And his
chairman of the State committee has been
caught doing the bribery act with the
Populists. 1t is very evident that the last
campaign turned on the money issue.

Sunbeam: These two items startling in
contrast are from recent issue of the
Philadelphia Record:
"Get the people to feel they are pros
perous," says President Fish, of the Illinois
Central Railway, and they will prosper"
Real estate agents say that at no time in
the history of Philadelphia have SO many
houses been for sale or rent.
If the Record would only get those real
estate agents to feel that their houses are
sold or rented, they would be sold or
rented.
