THE TNVENTING DEVIL.

The democratic newspapers are fuii
 Of hepJad remarks about trusts, but aa
 eS5eemc1 Missouri contemporary, the
 JeffeIccr City Tribune, gives the
 simplest and clearest history and ex- planatiCn of them: The trust is an inVenticn of the modern devil" Trusts being an invention of business, it is
 plain dha5 business is the modern
 devil, Gencunced as the money devil by the democrats and appearing of late i1l the form of trusts. Business and the democratic party can't agree. The
 Jefferscn City Tribune, and every
 other truly democratic journal that comes to this office, is net against this
 iIVeniCn of the modern devil and in sits that it must be exorc1sad and Ia d
 by the next democratic national con-
 ventiOn. As cur Missouri demonolo- gist puts it, there must be added. to
 the Chicago platform prompt recog-
 nitil-m of the dangers of trusts and the vigorous demand for their imme- ate regulation and conltro1.' The prompt recognition is easy enough and so is the vigorous demand but exactly hcw are federal regulation and control of thi2 devils invention, duly licensed by the state legislatures, to be had? We hear much clheery vague ness about driving the devils irven- tion cut of international and inter- state commerce, but if the democrats mean business they ought to take the devil by the horns. The state 1egisla- lures are the criminals against whom the devil hunters should go forth. Why net abolish state legislatures Haven't the democrats the courage to fight ';fe devil in his favorite lair?- New York Sun.

BRYAN OR BUST.

Every indication still points to the
 renOanination of William J. Bryan by
 the democratic presidential conven-
 4ion, of next year. Every leader of
 prominence of that party in the south
 and west who has spoken cn that sub
 feet recently has declared that The
 masses of the party are unfalte1ing
 ir their devotion to Bryan and to the
 principles of which he is the exponent
 One of the most significant of these ut
 terances was made by former Gov ernbr Stone of Missouri, Bryan's close friend, in New York Governor Stone not only predicted that Bryan would
 be nominated, and the Chicago plat form reaffirmed, but that the doors of the convention would be closed to every man who did not support the candidate and platform of the party in 1896. This, says Ehe governor, is the feeling of democrats in the west and, south. He added:
 tSWhy should anybody who stcod by the party regard as democrats those who turned against tt? They are not democrats. They have made ol3en
 
 be let into the next convention. I think can say for she west and south that ithey would vote to seat contest ing delegation of men known to be loyal if New York shl5mld send any delegates who b0lted in 1S96."
 When the uncompromising stand which Richard Croker, the Tammany hall boss. has assumed towards MT. Bryan and free silver, is taken into consideration it is plain that a noun tain of difficulty looms before the democratic partsT. If shat party re- pudiates Bryan, Governo- Stone pre- diets that the populists of the west and south will refuse to support the ticket | And with5rt idhe fusion which the 1 party made with the populfsts in the | last presidential election Rryan's de- featwo1id have been much more over | Whelming than it was. And as for the | free silver issue, if it should be pre- scented to the country again, unless | there is a very great change from the present prosperous condition of our natfcn, that issue would net have half | the chance to capture votes that it did [ in 1896, when there were thousands Of unemployed and disoontented people who were ready to accept anything as panacea for the prevailing distress And the idea that the sound money sentiment in the democratic party would support MT. Bryan if he should be renominahed next year is net worth considering. The revolt Of that ele- ment against Bryanfsm would cer- tainly be more widespread than it was when he ran before. No one should be misled by the attitude which Tam many hall has taken En democratic national politics. It is far mere like ly to spread dfssension in the party than to have a cementing and hea.ing effect. MT. Croker may be able to con- trol the action Of The democTie t9 Of New York city, but he is about the last man dn the o5Ein5ry whom the de,mo- crats outside of ishat city CT state . would allow to dictate to the party as to it's candidate or platform

THE IDAHO RIOTS.
They Have Converted the Governor
 From a Chicago Platform Heresy.

The riots alt Wardner, Idaho, are
 practically suppressed and most of
 the rioters are in the hands of the off, cers of the law Quiet will soon be
 restored and work in the mines be re-
 stunned. But it is to be hoped that the ringleaders will be severely punished and a lesson taught the discmderly ele-
 ment in that neighborhood which will not be quickly forgotten.
 The riots are a new manifestation
 of an old difference between tlle em-
 ployers and miners. It first made it's
 appearance in 1892, covering about the same time occupied by the Homestead
 riots in this slate. The miners union
 demanded that shovelers and general
 helpers should be paid the same wages as miners. The first were getting S3 day and the latter $3.50 a day. The object in demanding the sanlia pay for all was to bring the workers in the mines into the union and so strength en it in any contest with the mine owners. When the latter refused to place unskrled labor on the same level with skilled labor, a strike was begun which was marked by violence until the militia was called in to restore order
 The depressed times which followed the second election of Grover Cleve- land and continued during his term caused many of the Idaho mines to be closed down or to be worked with re- duced forces, and miners were willing to work for what wages they could get. The return of prosperity after Mckin- ley's inauguration and the restoration of the old scale of wages has brought back the old trouble. The present strike, like the one in 1892. Is not against reduction in wages, but de- mand that ur3killed labor shall be placed on the same 3evel as skilled labor and paid the same wages. The mine owners object to this and hence have followed ricts, bloodshed and tho destructicn of property. But the un- just demand has failed and order will soon be restored.
 One incident of the strike is signifi- | cant. The governor of Idaho is a fusiCnist and was elected las. N0vem- l Der on a platform rsaffirming the Chi cago platform of 1896, which d5- | the use of United States troops in qualling riots and strikes. | miners compelled him to appeal to fine | United States government for help in | restoring order, and in respknse Gsn- | cra3 Merriam is in Idaho protecting | life and property and helping to ar rest t he rioters. The governor should be credited with the good sense of preferring peace and ordcr to his party principles Philadelphia Press

DEAD LETTER OFFICE BUSINESS.
Causes Which Contribute to the Stock
 Of UndeIivered Mail.

There are approximately 5,000,00 -latters year which either do not reach their destinaei lion at all or reach it through the medium Of the dead let ter office in Washington. It is popu- larly supposed that the larger number of dead letters are either misdirected or have undecipherable addresses or are forwardcd with insufficient pest age. The fact of the matter as is shown by the postoffice reports. is that the larger number of letters sent in a year from the dead letter pffice go there because the persons to whom they are sent are noc at the addresses given CT refuse the letters
 Tn nunbet' of letters without ad- dresses sent in the mails amounts to only about 2S,000 in a year, while the number of letters nlisidirected amounts in a year JJ aboGt 31O,0G0, of which only 10000 are, aftcr the revision Of the address, Te1UTrGd tc the office as un6elivo-a able.
