BOY TRAMP IS SENT HOME
"LittIe Lord FnuntIeroy" of the Po-
lice station Identified by sioux
City Minister on visit.

Roy Wilson, the S-year- old runaway who
has been known as the Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" Of the police station, was sent back TO
his home in Sioux City yesterday,
stranger from the Iowa town having called
at the Jail and established the boys identity
beyond a doubt. The peculiar circumstances
of the lads arrival in the city and his quaint
appearance have aroused the interest of
everybody who saw him, and the police were
10th TO allow him to go.
Little Wilson was picked up in saloon
one midnight about two weeks ago. He had
the appearance OF a juvenile cowboy. His
long, blonde hair hung below his shoulders
and he wore large, white felt hat, several
sizes too large for his head. His jeans
trousers we're homemade and lacked three
inches OF being the proper length. His shoes
were worn and dusty from trampng along
the roads. He told the police he came to the
city by train, his transportation having been
paid by relative. He was to have been
met at the depot by a married sister who
lives on a farm near town, but for some
| reason the sister failed TO appear and the
boy, not knowing her name, waited several
hours till the depot was closed for the night.
then wandered around the streets and was
given shelter by a kind hearted bartender.
Diligent inquiry at Sioux City failed to
disclose who the boys parents were, so he
has been kept at the police station. Friday
man who said he Is Sioux City minister
called at the Jail and asked to see the lad.
| He was shown to the matron's room, where
the boy was kept but the lad could not be
| found. His disappearance caused consider
able alarm and number Of the officers were
sent TO search the premises for him.
After an hours hunt the policemen found
young Wilson crouching behind a pile OF
broken furniture Ia an unused room. He
refused for long time to be pulled from his
| place Of concealment, but finally explained
he had seen the minister coming and fled to
escape him. The divine did not give his
| name. He said he had known the BOYS
mother when she was a girl and when she
| was left destitute after an unfortunate mar
riage he took Roy Wilson for adoption. The
boy would not remain with him, he said but
| had thrown his clothes out of the window
| late one night and took his departure. Sincs

little fellow till the minister visited Omaha

make sort of shutting assault on the
national banks occasionally, and this
element put in plank in the demo-
cratic platform in 1892 10 repeal the
prohibitory ten per cent. tax on state
bank issues. Even the tariff, which the
democrats fought with virulence for
many years, they did not dare to at
tack in principle when, in the only
time since 1879 they had, in 1S93-5,
complete control of all branches of the
government simultaneously. The Will
son-Gorman act, which provided neither
revenue nor protection in sufficient
amount, recognized and sustained,
though in feeble way, the doctrine of
protection to domestic industries. That
was the tariff which, according to Pres
ident Cleveland, meant party perfidy
and party dishonor," and he refused to
sign it, allowing it to become law by
the expiration of the ten days limit.
1t was a democratic measure through
out, however, and was one of the great
number of causes which conspired to
inflict the Overwhelming defeats on the
democracy in the congressional canvass
of 1894 and the presidential campaign
of 1896.
This has been the record of the de-
mocracy ever since the republican
party first obtained control of the gov
ernmert more than a generation ago.
During all this time the democracy has
done nothing except oppose republican
policy. Even in the campaign of 1896,
when it seemed to have struck out a
path for itself in its free silver lunacy,
it merely struck at the republican
party. The republicans in the ST. Louis
convention came out squarely and de-
cisively in favor of the gold standard.
The democracy, in its convention few
weeks later, assailed the gold standard.
Then, as in all its career since the early
days of the war of secession, it has been
an incubus and an obstruction merely.
1t has lacked the brains to develop a
policy of its own which has had the
faintest chance of securing the accept
ance of honest and public-spirited men.
After fighting republican measures I'M
til these had been so long and so firmly
established by the concurrence of the
people that further hostility would only
excite the country's derision, it dropped
its opposition and came over on to re-
publican ground. If the republicans
should now abandon expansion the
democrats would reverse their present
course and come out in favor of expan-
sion. The republicans, of course, will
adhere to the expansion policy, and ii
will be sanctioned by an overwhelming
majority of the people in 1900. Then

AN UNSTABLE PARTY.
The Democracy Has Always Failed
to Develop a Policy Entire
Iy Its own.

The Boston Transcript intimates that
if the president or congress should de-
eide to abandon the Philippines the per-
sons who are now bowling to give up
the islands would then shrek even loud
er against such course. There is
good point here. The persons who are
shouting against holding the Philip
pines are nearly all democrats. A few
republicans are among the contraction
lists, but nine out of every ten of them
are democrats. Bryan, Altgeld, Stone,
Jones and all the rest of the men who
ran the Chicago convention and who
expect to control the next national
gathering of the democracy, are all
shouting against expansion. All of
them want the country to get out of
the Philippines and Cuba, and to even
give up Porto Rico. There are two
reasons why the democracy takes this
ground. The democratic leaders are
timid and incapable, and the democrat
ic party ever since the republican or
ganization first went into power in
1861 has been party of obstruction or
negation.
Everything which the republican
party has favored in the past 40 years
the democracy has opposed. But after
opposing republican policy until oppo-
sition made the democracy ridiculous,
that party has always come over to re-
publican ground. This was so regard
ing the doctrine of secession, on the
amendments to the constitution, on
nearly all the reconstruction policy, on
| the greenbacks and the national bank
ing system, though few democrats

cratic national committee, really to die

party for the campaign. 1t will make
its fight squarely for the sixteen to
one Chicago platform, to which Bryan
has committed himself over and over
again by defining that platform as q
party creed which will live.
The Bimetallic league is in the field
to make "the financial plank of the Chi
cago platform of 1896 without any
change" the issue, to renominate Bry'
an and to advocate so-called bimetal
lism. 1t is not likely the league has
any expectation of winning, but no 9th

"Oh, yes, it's the common custom,

The little one pondered for awhile
and then inquired in her solemn way:
Suppose the Lord should say that
when we get to heaven?"
Of course, this story ought to end
with the statement that the mother al
once saw the error of her ways, and
ever after insisted that the truth should
be told, even to callers; but the mother
laughed and thought it was good joke

The failures in April, 1899, according
to Dun's Review, were the smallest
in any month since records by months
began, 3S per cent. smaller than in
April of last year, not third of the
amount in 1897, and not half the
amount in April of any previous year.
Both in manufacturing and in trading
they were the smallest ever known in
that month, and in trading the smallest
ever known in any month, as in manu-
featuring they were if the larger fail
ures were omitted. The ratio of de-
faulted liabilities to solvent payments
through clearing houses was less than
10 cents per $1,000, against go cents in
January and $1.19 in March, $3.50 in
August and $500 in September, 1896.
A great share of the risk in the business
world has been eliminated. Truly
