It is impossible to repress the feeling
of confidence and enthusiasm, with
which the general political situation is
to be viewed. There is substantial
agreement, among all the allied forces,
which, if signs fail not, will be of one
victorious mind next year. Our agri-
cultural producers see in lowering
prices of all they have to sell, and the
forced rises of all that they must buy,
the bitter fulfillment Of the inevitable,
under the prevailing system, that leaves
them in competition with silver using
countries. Labor is aroused to the
danger of being crushed by the power
of organized monopoly, which has only
to manifest its needs, to have the mil
itary at beck and call to enforce
their expressions. The prevailing
strikes show that labor appreciates
the dangers of the hour. Our foreign
born population are especially appre-
hensive of the drift, in this land Of the
free. to imperialism and autocratic
power. This applies with special force
to German-Americans, Irish-Americans
and our citizens of Scandinavian strain.
It is now certain that we shall retain
this support largely for the next year,
whether the administration persists in
its wretched course, or is forced by
public sentiment and the fear of defeat
to change it. These things, among
others, coupled with the fact that we
have a national leader who seems to
have been raised up for the sole pur-
pose of saving the American Republic,
must give to the united forces of the
regenerated Democracy courage and
an enthusiasm which will sweep all
before it.
Mr.. Bryan thus sizes up the situation:
democratic succ ess in 1900, is becom-
ing more and more certain"
Nebraska follows Iowa in uniting all
of the reform forces against the gop-
pites. The allied forces will prove an
invincible army with banners.
What a commentary on the pulpit,
that while the masses of the Republi.
cans are DESERVING the administration
on its Philippine policy, the truly loyal
clergy, for the most part, continue to
understand the last words of the
prince of Peace" as go ye into all
the world, and shoot the gospel into
every creature"
Since OTIS censorship was renewed
there have not been so many reports of
burned churches, shot riddled crosses
and desecrated affairs. Or have opera
tions been interfered with by the rainy
season?
If Dewey is not talking, somebody
is saying some very proper things of
him.
The St. Paul Globe, in an article
"The Man and the Hour" pays trib-
ute to Dewey that is heartily seconded
by all. but such recognition they regard
as military and not political. There is
quite another man for this 'hour," and
his name is Bryan.
And what Bryan has done politically,
to win this leadership and admiration,
is quite the counterpart of Dewey's
glorious trophies for American arms
and glory. What Dewey did against a
wicked and oppressive foreign power,
Bryan is doing against the enemies of
our national peace and prosperity, and
an equally wicked and oppressive money
power.
Otis will censor the Chinese out of
the Philippines, but he cannot prevent
the Filipinos from coming here to COM
pete with labor, after they are become
''subjugated" American citizens.
Hanna is said to be intending to pur-
chase a stud of fast horses. He will
need them next year.
Eltweed Pomary of New Jersey, the
great authority on direct legislation, has
been spending q few days in the Twin
Cities. The principle he represents,
certainly seems, to be marching on.
State after state is adding it to the list
OF doctrines of tn true Democracy.

ton is looked Il, as none has been fol-
