WHY THE BLUFF WILL FAIL.

The Republican party has felt the
ground swell against trusts. Its leaders
have recognized that no party that con-
dones the trust evil by silence can hope
to win in the next Presidential cam
paign. Therefore Republican organs
and leaders have already begun to as
sert that the Republican platform i'm 1900
will have an antitrust plank. They
doubtless know what they are talking
about.
An antitrust plank in 1900 can not
clear the Republican party of the odlum
Of having fostered trusts. 1t can not
blind the American people to the fact
that il was during Republican admins
tration. and under the benign auspices
of the Republican party, that nearly
every article of commerce was made
the subject of trust control. They Will
not forget that Republican Attorney
General refused 70 lit his hand against
these brigands of commerce or to en-
force the laws on the statute books
against them.
Nor is the fact unknown to them that.
whatever it may pretend, the trusts have
already bound the Republican party
hand ard foot and it is pOwerless. \
champion, of special privileges always.
the Republican party is by its fundamen-
@,l nj md WI M
its history as an administrative party
committed to friendship to trusts.
But there is another and quite IA diff
ferent reason why this premeditated bluff
will fail to deceive. Though it has been
more or less concealed by skillful appeals
to patriotism and an adroit attempt to
make the flag stand responsible for Re
publican policies, st bottom the American
people have lost confidence in the Re
publican party and will discount heavily
its promises of any sort whatsoever.
They have seen that in time of war
it has been unable to protect the nations
soldiers at the front from the rapacity
dividends; that in time of peace it was
willing to discredit the most efficient
officers of the army to shield these he
Borgias and their accomplices in the de-
partments, the puppet pets of the admin
istraticn, from public exposure. They
have seen the whole power of the gov
ernment used to crafty the personal
spite of cabinet officers and the military
service demoralized by the substitution
of pull for merit in the bestowal of
rewards. And above all they have been
called to witness Il war for humanity
turned into war of determination, the
greed of boodlers at home made the
prime object instead of the welfare of
these simple peoples, the solemn pledges
of Congress to our own people and the
world at large cOntemptuously disregard
cd and the genius of our institutions ser
ut naught.
Republican promises in 1900 will be
read in the light of Republican perform
;,nce since 1896. In that light an anti
trust plank in the Republican platform
will fool nobody.

That the movement begun il N:r-
ginia to secure an amendment to IT,,
Constitution of the United States
providing for the election of Senators
by a direct vote of the reo?'e VIII
bear fruit speedily is, perhaps, not to
be expected. That it will win sooner
or later is certain. The disgraceful
scenes that SO often attend election
by the legislatures and the sort OF
cattle that have broken into the Sen
ate by this means, will not be toll
Grated much longer. The American
people are tired of being forced to
regard the United States Senate rs
more or less of an aggregation #

An Albany Georgia. dispatch of
yesterday, speaking of the dea+33l OF
Frank Mccarthy, d negro, says:
''For the first time in the history OF
ALBANY. a town of 5000 inhabitants,
every store and office was closed in
honor of a negro, no business being
transacted while the funeral was in
progress. Mccarthy never dabb.ed in
politics. but was probably the most
influential negro in the county. His
death is deplored alike by white and
colored people"
This will bear a good deal of medi-
tative chewing on the part of the ne
gro who imagines that the road to
distinction and profit lies through pol
tiles and that he can win the respect
of his neighbors by haranguing his
more ignorant fellows on their
rights" that he may be made dele

can swap his vote for a ten-dOllar bill.

WILL YOU PARTICIPATE {?

To the Business Men OF Wheeling.
At Its twelfth annual Labor Day cell
ebratlon, in August. 1898, the Trades
Assembly cleared much more money
than 1t ever cleared before, because OF
the money saved by emitting parade
from its programme, the expenses at
tending a parade being very large
Those members of the assembly who
opposed the parade gave this as their
principal reason, besides expressing a
fear that 1t might prove failure
through lack Of interest on the part Of
both the business men and the mem
bers Of the various local unions-not
lack of interest on the part of the lat
ter in their various organizations, but
simply in the parade. Although they

the position that Labor Day celebra-
ton without a parade did great harm
to the business interests Of the city, es-
peclally to the retailers, rs It brought
no one to the city, but well nigh de-
populated It in the afternoon; that We
owed the merchants something for the
position they assumed during the late

fayors the assembly had received at
their hands, their members thought
that II the matter was placed before the
business men and manufacturers In its
proper light. they would hardly hesitate
to do their part toward making the pa
rade success. II was also claimed
thar a parade, in connection with the
general Labor Day celebration. well i'd

A DECISION TODAY
On the Injunction Applied for Be.
fore Judge PAUL. in the
WATER BOARD CONTROVERSY
In Which the Beck Estate and Real
Estate Agent james a. HeHtg Fig
ure as PIaintiG ArgRments in the
Mater Made by MI b! Allison
and City Solicitor F. W. Nesbltt
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon, before Judge
PAUL, of the circuit court, sitting In
chambers, the application for Oh an
junction in the case styled George Beck,
Thusnelda Reymann, Anton Reymann,
Emmo o. sdfel and George E. stifel vs.
the city of Wheeling. was argued and
submitted. A decision will likely be
handed down by Judge PAUL to-day.
This is the case Of Real Estate Agent
James A. Henry against the city water
board, the controversy having arisen
over the action of the water board in
shutting water from the tenants in the
Beck block on Market street, owing
to the failure of the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly to pay the
water tax assessed against 1t by the
board.
In the bill Of complaint, offered BY
Mr.. B. S. Allison. counsel for the plain
tins, it is alleged that the other ten
ants ought not to be made to suffer for
any trouble the board may have with
the trades assembly, and alleges fur
Their that Mr.. Henry made q tender to
the board of S2s In satisfaction of the
boards claim Of 1873 against the assem-
bly,.
Mr.. Frank w. NesbItt, city solicitor,
representing the water board. cited the
rules of the water board, which all con-
sumers of water sign, and which they
agree to abide by. thus justlfying the
action Of the boards officials in shut
ting OF the water pending the payment
Of the claim against the assembly. Mr..
Henry, he said. had made an arbitrary
tender of SIS and said, "If you do not
turn on the water I will" When the
boards officials had said that the
proper way out of the difficulty was
an application for reduction of the
water assessment on the assembly, Mr..
Henry replied that that was going
through a lot Of "red tape" with which
he did not intend to busy himself.
The case against the Henrys and
Plumber H. L. McKown was to have
come up in police court yesterday
morning, but upon the representation
being made that an Injunction would
be applied for In the circuit court, Mayor
Sweeney consented to postpone the trial
of the case.
