Another Fake About Breidenthal.

The Populist party wants John Brei-
denthal to accept the position Of chair
man Of the State central committee, but
John sees that nothing can save the
party from defeat and shows his usual
good judgment by deciding to keep
out of politics. Fort Scott Monitor

Mr. Breidenthal has not been requested
to again assume the duties of chairman.
He has heard nothing of the matter at
all. He regards the above story as Of
Republican origin for the purpose of
making the point made in the last clause
of the above paragraph.

In Congress.

In Congress-
Congressman BrOderick has introduced
q resolution declaring war against Spain
and recognizing the independence OF
Cuba.
CONGRESSMAN Curtis complains that
the Presidents message transmitting the
report of the court Of inquiry Is too con-
serVatiVe.
Senator Foraker has prepared reso-
luton which recognizes the indepen-
dence of Cuba. 1t was introduced in the
Senate March %.
Congressman Simpson says that he ex-
pected dilatory tactics on the part of the
President and was not therefore sur
prised at the tone Of his message last
week.
CONGRESSMAN Broussard, Of Louisiana,
has resigned. He specifies that it is to
take effect when war is declared and that
he will then raise regiment and go to
the front.
The armor plate manufacturers, hav-
ing no substantial sympathy for the
country in it's hour of trouble, are hold
ing up Congress for the regulation $4OO
per ton for armOr plate. A decent price
is $500.
Senator Rawlins, Of Utah, has intro
duced a resolution March 2S) recog-
nizing the independence of Cuba and
declaring war against Spain A similar
resolution was introduced in the House
by Mr.. Marsh, of Illinois.
A conference attended by about fifty
Republican Congressman was held last
week to consider the advisability OF taxi
ing action with reference 70 the Cuban
affair without waiting for the President
to act. Hopkins, of Illinois, was chair
man. Considerable dissatisfaction was
expressed because of the mildness Of the
Presidents message and several speeches
urging immediate Congressional action
were made. 1t seems that these men de-
cided later to give the President little
more time.
In the House Saturday the naval ap-
preparation bill was passed by a decis-
i've vote. BY amendment the number
of torpedo boats was increased to tWen-
ty-four, the committee report providing
for but twelve. An effort to reduce the
number of battle ships from three to
one was defeated. The argument was
that the warships could not be con-
structed in time for the present emer-
gency. The amendment to reduce the
price of armor plate from $4OO per ton
to $500 received no consideration.
The subcommittee of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs has submitted
report ON the Cuban affair. 1t pro-
vides for recognition of Cuban indie
pendence and intervention by the United
States army and navy if Spain refuses to
concede independence at once. The re-
port points out that the Maine affair
gave sufficient ground for a declaration
OF war If this country wanted 1t, and
that the continuation of war in Cuba
seriously Injuries American interests.
The full committee will doubtless ap-
prove the report.

A sCHEME TO BE THwARTED.

Recent dispatches disclose a scheme re-
garding the Nicaragua canal which the
government should not allow to succeed.
The word scheme is not used in disrepu-
table sense, but simply to characterize
commercial project which, though perhaps
legitimate in itself, is opposed to the in
terests of the United States. The dispatches
stated a few days ago that the Nicaraguan
government had granted a new concession
for the construction of the canal to an
American syndicate of capitalists. Accord
ing to the dispatch the new concession is in
the nature of an option, to take effect at the
expiration of the present contract with the
Maritime Canal Company. The latter is
the project in which the government of the
United States has shown an interest, Con-
gress having appropriated $4,000 for the ex-
penses Of a government commission to ex-
anime the canal route and report to the
President, and a bill having been intro
duced authorizing the government to guar
antee the company's bonds to the amount
of $50 900, 900, the government to have con-
troll of the canal, and eventually to become
the owner of it. The act to incorporate the
Maritime Canal Company was approved
Feb. 20, 1889, and the company's concession
will expire Oct. 3, 1899. The new conces-
sion provides that if work is not begun I'M
der the existing contract before the date last
named 1t shall lapse and the new conces-
sion shall take effect. This would leave the
government of the United States 'Qut in
the cold" without any interest in a canal
contract and entirely at the mercy of the
new syndicate. Moreover, it would leave
the way open for the new syndicate to make
terms with some other government or to
construct the canal and sell a controlling
interest to foreign government. This sit
uation should not be permitted to come
about The canal should be built by the
aid and be under the control of the govern
ment of the United States. No syndicate
of private capitalists, American or foreign,
should be allowed to step in between the
government and this great work, nor bar
the way by an option to renewal of the
, present contract of the Maritime Canal
Company. Congress at it's next session
should either order the commencement Of
work on the canal under the present con-
tract or should take steps for its extern
sion, as it has right to do under the terms
of the contract. The enterprise should be
kept strictly under government control, and
to this end the new scheme should be
thwarfed

not have entered into the conspiracy. The
desperate do not consider. Those who can
never get rid OF the impression that most
people prefer being humbugged to being
treated as reasonable beings are sure to
fall into just such blunders as the effort to
make the people believe that business and
industry are even in worse condition than
they were two years ago.
indianapolis is city surrounded with
Observation-Disclosures, Louisville st. Louis
and Chicago. More than its larger competi-
tors, it depends upon the number and pros
perity of it's manufactures. To create the
impression that labor here has less en-
ployment than two years ago, when all 9TH
er cities and all the papers in them declare
that the conditions are vastly improved, is
to discriminate against Indianapolis. 1t
gives the impression that manufacturers are
not enterprising, lack capital, or are out OF
the channels of business. If such damaging
stories as the Sentinel printed to help Leon
Bailey were believed at home, the i'm
provement of property would be stopped,
credit could not be obtained, and the en-
ployment of the labor necessary to keep a
prosperous city in repair would cease.
Leon Bailey and the Sentinel, when they
conspred to blacklist the prosperity of In
dianapolis, must have known that they were
assailing the welfare of the city.

When it became obviaus. by the sudden

A GOOD PARTY TO LET ALONE.

We Americans claim to be a shrewd and
practical people, but we do not always show
1t in our politics We often allow popular
clamor and party spirit to dictate policies
that are neither practical, shrewd nor wise
We came dangerously near doing so in 1896
when the people cast 6,5OOOOO votes in favor
of free silver. cheap money and free trade,
against 100000 for the gold standard, sound
money and protection to home industries.
A comparison of present business conditions
with those which would exist had Bryan
been elected instead of Mckinley will show
how great a peril we escaped.
The present situation offers the same
choice between wise and unwise policies, be-
tween line of action that is distinctly
American and one that is distinctly I'M
American. In this situation what does the
Democratic party offer? For one thing it is
offering free silver which was condemned
and rejected by the people two years ago.
Have sound money and protection proved
a failure, that the people should repudiate
them after having Endorsed them two years
ago? Is free silver any less a menace to
prosperity now than it was then? Why
should people who were wise enough to
reject these policies two years ago be asked
to adopt them now? Is the Nation less prac-
teal, less wise and less honest than it was
two years ago? The Democratic party seems
to think so.
Turning to war issues we find the posi-
ton and policy of the Democratic party all
summed up in criticism of the administra-
ton and the conduct of the war. When i'm
portant issues are pending, issues of great
national concern, involving the acquisition
and government of new territory and the
formulation of new policies, the people have
a right to expect from a political party
something more than mere criticism and
abuse of the administration. But this is
all the Democratic party has to offer. The
war with Spain, which has brought victory
and glory for our arms, honor to the flag,
prestige to the American name and new
possessions in two hemispheres, has brought
for the Democratic party nothing bat an
opportunity to abuse their own government
and the peoples President. If the American
people are wise they will not commit the
great business interests of the country and
the honor and welfare Of the Nation into
the keeping of a party which offers no
policy, but simply protests and yawps A
mule can bray and kick, but that does not
make him a safe political leader. Stupidity
is not craftsmanship. A party whose past
record is one of failure and which gives
no promise of reform is a good one to let
alone

LEON BAILEY,s ASSAULT.

There is reason to believe that the plot to
blacklist the industries and the prosperity of
Indianapolis was devised by Leon Bailey.
His speeches have contained large element
of calamity, and his cause would be helped
if he could make any considerable number
of voters believe his and the Sentineis
stories. The employment of Gruelle, and
Gruelle's employment of three unsuspecting
men to make a canvass and get answers
to questions prepared by him and
those behind him, indicate the meth
DDS of the ''slck" person rather than
those Of the managers of a newspaper. 1t IS
probable that Leon Bailey is the big man
behind the taking of the statistics" of
whom Gruelle mysteriously spoke TO the
three men.
The Sentinel, however. will be the sufferer.
1t is already denounced by people connected
with the industries of the city. Mr.. Bailey
shall be counted he will know that it does
not pay to raise the black flag of distress
over a prosperous city. That he has done
so in speeches and in the Sentinel proves to
people of fair sense that he would have
general prostration of business and the re-
sultant idleness and suffering If it would
further his political ambition He realizes
that every factory running with full force
and having orders ahead is an argument
against his election. So realizing, he de-
vised the plot to blacklist the industries

consider the effect OF such plot. he would

No Rules for Bankruptcy Cases.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Department
of Justice during the past few days has
been importuned by large number of BUSH
ness men and lawyers to define the status
of the involuntary feature of the bank
ruptcy law passed during the last session
of Congress. Congress provided that when
the involuntary feature of the measure
should go into effect it should be accom-
panied by a set of rules and orders formu
lated by the Supreme Court of the United
States for it's execution. The Supreme
Court, not having compiled these rules and
orders, some question was raised as to
whether the law could be properly enforced
at the time provided for-Nov. l. The De-
partment of Justice to-day, however, held
that the absence of these orders will not
materially affect the enforcement of the
law, and that they are not absolutely essen
tial to the execution of the act, and that
there is no need to wait on, the Supreme
Court rules.
