The Democratic Editorial Associa-
ton of Missouri is laying plans for
holding the biggest free silver carni-
val that was ever heard of. AS out
lined, it is intended to be a tri-State
affair. 1t contemplates the unifcation
of the allied free silver forces of Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Nebraska, in Kan
sas City. sometime between OCTOBER l
and October 20, for the purpose of
showing to the rest of the country that
bfmetallism to-day is as live an issue
and can command as much enthusiasm
as it did during the Presidential cam
paign. The Democratic editors Of the
State have taken up the project with
enthusiasm and will at once proceed to
enlist their brethren in Kansas and
Nebraska who believe in the principle
of bimetallism, in an organized effort
to make the proposed gathering tre-
mendous and memorable success. 1t
will be silver affair In which all
friends of free coinage will meet on
equal terms and be welcome. Mr..
Bryan's presence alone will insure an
outpouriDg of thousands and the time
of holding the carnival will be ar
ranged on day when he can be pres
ent. Besides the distinguished Ne
braskan, there will be in attendance
leading orators from the three politi-
cal organizations which supported him
at the polls. Hon. David Overmeyer.
Governor Leedy. Senator Teller, Sena-
tor Cannon, ex-senator Dubois, ''Sil-
yer Dick" Bland, Senator Allen and
other distinguished exponents and ex-
Founders of bimetallism will be asked
to address the multitudes.

THE prosp osperity-monger points with
pride to the advance in stocks as a
sure sign that prosperity is with u.s.
Sugar Trust stocks have advanced
fifty, for the Dingley Bill gives that
monopoly all that it asks in the way of
protection. 1t can charge the con-
sumner what it pleases, and there is no
one to stay its hand. Standard Oil
stock has also advanced. Why not,
when it has the absolute control of the
oil trade? Certain railroad stocks
have responded to manipulation and
have advanced in anticipation of in
creased business. But the average
price of articles not trust-protected or
tarif-protected has remained the same.
How much general advance has there
been in wages? Will the producing
classes of this country be benefited by
laws that enhance the cost of living
while beating wages and raw materials
down? Already there is a rumored
conspiracy to prevent wheat from 60
ing higher, in order to prevent the
farmer from getting the benefit of the
present condition of the wheat market.
How much of the present tCaCe (sic) of
prosperity is genuine, and how much is
buncombe, will appear after the State
elections of this year.

THE Mckinley administration re-
CARDS the election Of Mark Hanna to the
Senate as a matter of vital Importance;
consequently the fire is concentrated
upon Ohio. If our goldbug friends
could make great showing in Ohio
they think it would affect the next
National Democratic platform, and per-
haps go far toward placing the silver
issue in the background. So every
man in Ohio will get his price, even ii

Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE of 1nver-
ness-shire, Scotland, who draws his
supplies from Pennsylvania and other
parts of the Union, thinks the United
States has at last entered upon career
of prosperity which will drive into the
background the agitation for a reduced
standard of values. Under the in
creased standard OF values, with the
doors of the U. S. Treasury opened to
him so that he could, by means of his
armor plant, walk in and help himself
to what he wanted. Mr.. Carnegie has
prospered and still continues to pros
per; but Mr.. Carnegie's recipe for
prosperity will not be swallowed by
the people without a very careful
scrutiny. The prosperity that enables
Mr.. Carnegie to embellish his castle
in Scotland and disport himself with
the Lords over there has filed many a
graveyard in Pennsylvania.

IN THE DRESSING ROOM.

By HI. L. Mariner.
The bed is heaped with overcoats
The bureau piled with shoes and canes,
With mufflers, hats and overshoes
The table stacked and chaos reigns;
And water black as Billings ink
Within the dainty waShbowl stands;
Wherein ten men successfully
Have washed their soiled, perspirin0
hands.
Half-smoked cigars the mantel fill
Placed carefully for future use
That owners of the same when through
The waltz below, their own may choosej
Upon the snowy counterpane
Is seen a splash or so of mud,
And ashes and burned matches strew
The costly Oriental rug
The walls are SCARED by ruthless hands
OF smokers scratching matches there;
(The house belongs to some one else,
So why the dickens should they careD
The host appears when all are gone
And views the dismal ruin where
His bedroom was SO beautiful
And groans, says things" and tears his
hair.
He gazes with revengeful eye
And thinks-"confound impudence
To shake hands with me when they ledt
With air of conscious innocence"

Confound 'e1n, should think they did

And put stean linen ON the bed

Good For the South.

1t is good thing for the south that
MIR. Mckinley has adopted policy
which will solidify her people. The time
is not ripe for divisions among southern
whites. Two parties are not needed
among them. The democratic party is
good enough and progressive enough
for any southern white man. AS for
the blacks, they can stick to the repub-
iicans if they feel so inclined.
With the whites of the south soldly
united under the democratic banner all
will be we'll. This policy enabled us to
elect the only democratic admnistra-
tions which we have had since the war,
and the same methods will give us vic
tory again.
But factions, personal differences and
unwise attempts to build up a new party
will set democracy back for a genera
ton If they are persisted in. Fortu-
nately, McKinleys sectionalism is maxi
ing it easier for southern democrats to
get together.

Southerners in New York.

young men who are anxious to go 70 New

and ambitious youngsters believe that
the great prizes of life can be won only
in the metropolis, and they are not will
ing to remain where they are, when there
are such tempting opportunities in the
big city.
1t is a fact that many southernsrs
have gone to New York without dollar
and have won fame and fortune there.

does not hear of those who have fail.d.

Phlladelphis and the South.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Philadelphia has acted wisely and
theoretically in seeking to extend her
commerce in the South American gov
ernments. Everything done in that line
has been done with a most commenda-
BILE wisdom and earnestness and will be
certain to bring rich fruits in the near
future.
But Philadelphia need not go to South
American peoples to bring a. large in
crease of trade to our city. Philadel-
plia has long overlooked and chrcni-
cally neglected to reach in any prac-
teal way for the trade of the southern
states of the Union. That trade is
greater today than at any time since
the war and 1t is absolutely certain that
1t must increase with great momentum
during the next decade. 1t is the most
desirable of all the fields not occupied
by Philadelphia enterprise, and there is
no reason whatever why Philadelphia
should not have the great bulk of the
trade of the south, that has now be-
come not only very large but much more
profitable than the trade of distant coun-
tries.
The south purchases an immense
amount of Philadelphia products, but
most of them are purchased in New
York, with the additional cost of mid
dlemen or maintaining New York es-
Establishments. This should and could be
promptly corrected. There is no place
on the continent where our general in
dustrial products can be purchased as
cheaply as in this city, and the SOUTH
if made to und erstand that they could
come here and deal with first hands
and at first cost for all of the great out
put of our Industrial enterprises. and
that they could go to our bourse, see
everything that is produced, purchase,
arrange to transport, and insure any
thing that is manufactured in Philadel-
phia at the minimum of cost, would
surely come here If any reasonable
measures were taken to bring them into
trade relations with our people.
Let Philadelphians press forward all
the generous movements on foot for ex-
tending our commerce in South Amer
lea, but let us not overlook the fact that
the southern states, just at our door
and once the largest customers of this
city, are now entirely within our reach,
and with mutual advantages to trade
which should bring the south and Phil
adelphia into the closest commercial re-
lations. This large and now rapidly in
creasing trade of the south Is within the
reach of Philadelphia, but it will require
effort, and organized effort, to win it.
We can get it If we will, and it will be
the fault OF our own business men il
they fail to command 1t.

Short-Sided Policy.

Whatever reasons the board of health
of Montgomery may have had for it's
dilatory action with reference to the
yellow fever in that city, it has sue
ceeded in making itself the laughing
stock of the whole southern country.
1t would seem strange that the doctors
bearing the reputation of those in Mont
gomery comprising the board Of health
could not have determined many days
ago whether the fever there was really
yellow fever
When the Stebbins case became known
to the public, the board of health then
promised that it would treat fairly with
the people of Montgomery. In treating
fairly with the people of Montgomery
was as we'll extending the same SINGER
ity of purpose to the people Of Alabama.
With a great flourish Of trumpets, the
Montgomery board of health declared
that Stebbins had not died from yellow
fever, but had died from the effects Of
eating canned salmon. If the board of
health was by its conduct afrabd to tell
the people Of the state the facts In the
case. 1t proves the present board of
health should be Immediately dissolved.
1t is not capable Of attending to the
needs of the public in the time Of a
great crisis.
If 1t was Its desire to protect the name
of Montgomery and its commercial an
terests. 1t made most serious mistake.
For while protecting Montgomery COM
mercially, its silence upon the subject of
yellow fever has acted as a menace to
the health of every family In that city.

American lns0Ience.

Prince Bismarck is reported to have
said recently that the Monroe Doctrine
was simply piece of American inso-
lence and should not be submitted to
by Europe. Doubtless The princes and
rulers of the old world think that Amer-
ioan people have never shown much re-
speed for monarohs and their mnions.
They drove the Spanish and the French
twice and forced Louis Napoleon to
withdraw his support. from Maximilian's
empire in Mexico.
The Monroe doctrine may be insolent,
but as a matter of self-preservation this
country should assist it !shrdlu cmfwyp t
country should assert 1t. To allow the
less territory in this hemisphere would
be the height of folly. AS matters now
stand, we are endangered commercially
and politically by permitting Great
Britain, Spain and Germany to fortify
themselves all around US in positions
from which they can at any time send
shipping and lombard our seaports.
If self-defense is insolent let us con-
tinue to be insolent. The nations over
THE sea should be put upon notice that
they must keep out of Uncle Sans back
yard and not play on his lawn.
