The World Moves.-The most pessi-
mistic voter is silenced and the hopes
of all patriots are raised by the fact
that the state democratic convention
of Illinois adopted these two planks:
In the interest of a government of
the people, for the people and by the
people, as against Hannaisn, we de-
clare our faith in the initiative and
referendum, and demand that steps
be taken. upon the assembling of cur
next legislature, for proper constiu-
tional safeguards to secure the same.
Recognizing the evils that grow out
of public monopolies, we demand mu-
nicipal ownership and control of all
public franchises and all other natur-
a. monopolies which of right belong
to the people"
Whatever anyone may say "a to
the sincerity of the convention adop-
ting these planks, there is consolation
in knowing that direct legislation and
public ownership of natural monopo-
lies have been endorsed Ly the dem
ocratic party of one of our greatest
states. Forward into line

Socialism a Modern Ideai.-In the
Democratic Herald Victor L. Berger
makes the point that ancient commu-
mites were for consumption: while
socialism means simply joint owner
ship of means of production. Early
Christian communities were support
ed from the outside. Monks and nuns
were consumers of far more than they
produced, being largely supported by
gifts. Christ taught brotherhood,
which is the foundation of socialism,
but cooperation in production is an
other thing.

In Germany the socialist strength
is in the cities. This year is the first

New York Min lister Pays Tribute to
Gladstone.


New York, May 23-The Rev. Dr. r.
Heber Newton preached an interesting
sermon on the life of Mr.. Gladstone at
All Souls Protestant Episcopal church.
He said in part:
cit is as a statesman that Mr.. Glad
stone is known throughout the world
and honored wherever he is known. For
60 years he has been in public life, the
observed of all observers. This long
career in public life has witnessed a
growing recognition, not merely of his
ability but of his character. Mr.. Glad
stone was statesman, not polite
ian. He had very little aptitude in
managing men. His influence over his
followers was almost boundless-but it
was the influence Of his personality, not
of his manipulation. Men far inferior
to him surpassed him in their ability to
manage party. He surpassed all his
contemporaries and almost every pre-
decessor in English history in his abil-
ity to impress upon a party his own
great ideas and convictions. His power
lay in his thoughts and in his beliefs.
ITO begin at the beginning, he was
absolutely diSintereSted, pecuniarily in
his public life, he was not in politics
he made no attempt to secure a pen
sion. He was nobly above the sordid
considerations of public life, which
mesh and enslave so many of our pub
lie men.
ITO him Office was public trust and
not a private perquisite. Its power
was to him something far more than
an opportunity for creating patronage.
1t was an opportunity for serving man,
in the promotion of better conditions of
life, of nobler laws, and loftier institu-
lions. He desired popularity and had
it in a measure almost uneQualled in
English history.
I'm him we had a statesman who lit
orally tried to administer government,
according to the ethics of Jesus Christ.
He was in truth the nearest counter
part which our modern world has
known of the old Hebrew prophet.
When such a man comes to US from
God, the people will acclaim him king,
not by the right of promogeniture, but
by the calling and ordination of the
| Most High.''

WALL STREETERS DISBAND
The Regiment of Capitalists Not Co.
ing to War.

New York May 23-The organizers of
the bankers and brokers' regiment feel
disgruntled at the treatment it has re-
ceived at the hands of the government
and state military authorities. Having
secured the promise of nearly 5000 re-
cruit6, they wrote to Secretary Alger
and Gov. Black, proffering the services
of this brigade, many of whom had seen
service in battle and were well drilled.
After days of waiting and after learn
ing that their correspondence had been
turned over to military officials, who
had apparently disdained to answer
them at all, the organization commit
tees of the regiment, among whom are
some of the leading f1nanciers Of the
city, decided that they had been snub-
bed and they determined to call a halt
at once.
What happened yesterday at the
meeting held to discuss what to do
about the matter is not altogether GER
tain, aside from the fact that it was
decided to disband the men who had
proffered their services. 1t was recon-
mended that such as are anxious to
fight for their country, join one of the
established state regiments or one of
the new regiments about to be formed.

WILL NOT AID U. 8.
London Times Says Cuban Insurgents
Will Prove Useless.

London, May 23.-The Madrid correspond
ent of the Times, commenting on the sit
uation in Cuba, says:
Whether any large number of fnsur-
gents will ever fight for the Americans is
extremely doubtful, but despite SPANS
hope lit is equally doubtful whether Gen
eral Maxine Gomez and other influential
insurgent leaders will boldly declare
against American annexation. All that
can be said with certainty is that the cab
met at Washington has not found and
cannot count upon efficient assistance
from the insurgents, which it evidently
expected when it rushed into war with
out having an army of occupation ready.
Since the ministry has been recon
structed publicity and prominence are be-
ing given by leading organs to the move
ments of troops, which seem to indicate
an intention to warn all whom it may
concern that Spain is ready to resist any
unjustifable schemes of aggression iron from
whatever quarter they may come. These
movements have reference to- the idea that
Spain may be helpful to the powers in
the event of any combination against
an Anglo-Saxon alliance"

CONSUMPTION Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of u1ceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle Of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
