0IMPERIALISM' THE CRY.
The Only Thing Left for the Great
Democratic Party tn Get To-
gether On.

1t is evident that the democrats have
at last found an issue which holds out
some promise of harmony among them
selves. Within a few days there have
been three party banquets at which de-
nunciation of imperialism was the main
feature of the programme. The speak
ers took to their work with unmistaka-
BILE zest, and their auditors applauded
them vigorously. In the entire list of
addresses only three speakers deviated
from the general course. One of them,
Il. B. Roosevelt, did say over his $40
plate in New York: 1--WE will never sur
render back to barbarianism a single
foot of the land won by the hcroism of
our soldiers and sanctified by their
blood" But Mr.. Roosevelt was carried
away by the inspiration of his name,
and what he said did not count. The
gold and silver men of New York and
the gold men and silver remnant of Wis
conSin were practically unanimous in
their opposition to what is going on in
the Philippines.
This is the particular aspect of i'm
pcrialism which invites their declama-
tory attacks. In his New York speech
Mr.. Bryan was particularly vehement.
He lilencd the United States to a bully
and asserted that American government
of the Filipinos was a despotism. At the
same time he did not suggest an alter
native plan to the one that is being pur-
sued, nor has any one of his associates.
The campaign is one of criticism merely.

DEMOCRATS COMPOUNDED.
Increased Wages and Continued
Prosperity Make the Bry-
antics WobbIe.

These are the days that try the souls
of the doomed Bryanite party. The
weekly capacity of the furnaces in blast
throughout the United States at the
first of the present month was 245,
tons. 1t was 112,7S2 tons at the be-
ginning of October, 1896. That was the
late when the Bryanite reign of terror
was at its acute stage. Iron production,
which has always been considered
trustworthy barometer of the condl-
tion of general trade, is more than
double at the present moment what 1t
was at the time when there was some
fear throughout the country that Bry-
an. after all. might be elected in the can
vass a few weeks later. The bank clear
ances of the country, which are, OF
course, a faithful reflection of the busi-
ness situation, are almost double also
what they were in the summer and ear
Iy fall of 1886.
Here are some of the facts which Will
assail the democratic party when it be-
gins TO appeal to the people in 1900 to
put the control of the government and
the interests of the country in its
hands. Another fact which Will tell
even more decisively against the de
mocracy is that 100000 workers
throughout the United States have had
their wages increased since the open
ing of 1899. Bryan's old gag about the
nonarrival of general prosperity will
have to hide itself in the presence of
these facts. 1T has probably been re-
tired already. There has been no men
ton of it by Bryan in any one of the
five or six speeches a week which he
makes these days. There are some fol-
lies and absurdities which abash even
Bryan. The general and sweeping i'm
provement which has taken place in

The general public has hastened to
accept the successful tests of the Mar
conf system of wireless telegraphy as
indicating the rapid approach OF the
day when the wires viii be done away
with altogether. Prominent elcctri-
clans, however, declare that wireless
communication cannot be established
over great distances. In order to trans
NIT messages from New York to Chica-
go without the use of wires they say il
would be necessary to erect towers in

Pittsburg, April 27.-More than TO-
COO workers are concerned in the result

"THE FATHER OF ARIZONA"
Adventurous Career of Charles ID.
Poston in the TerritOry's Early


Poston in the Territory's Early
Days.
The legislature of Arizona has just
passed an act comforting a pension of
t25 a month on Charles ID. Poston, first
delegate to congress from the territory,
styled in the bill The Father of Ari-
xona."
For more than score of years Pos
ton was power in the southwest. To-
day, broken and feeble in mind and
body, he stumps around Phoenix alone
and neglected, almost destitute, in his
seventy-fourth year.
Poston's first venture INTO Arizona
was in 1854, when he explored the
Apache country with an intrepid band
Of 80 California prospectors. The jour
ney was made by way of Guaymas, So
nora. Several large deposits of rich sill
yer ore were found not far from the
ancient Spanish pueblo of Tubac, and
Poston. laden with mineral specimens,
hurried to New York. There he readily
secured the necessary financial assist
ance, at the head of the company form
ed being S. =. (aiterward generaD
Heinjzelman. Nearly $l,000,O0O was in
vested in mining machinery and in the
development of the mines, which were
phenomenally rich. When the United
States troops left the region, at the out
break of the civil war, the Apaches and
confederates alike closed in, and the
works were abandoned, never again to
be operated. 4 claim against the govern
ment for part of the value of the prop
erty thus destroyed by Apaches has for
years been the old mans sole asset.
Only last month was his evidence in the
case taken at Tucson by an officer of
the department of justice.
In 1868, after serving Gen. Heintzel-
man for awhile as aid, he became SUI
| perintendent of Indian affairs in the
| southwest, and as well recorder of
Dona Ana county, n. NJ, in which
county then lay all of what is now Ari-
zona. While serving in the latter ca
pacity he personally named the terri
| tory, and secured President Lincoln's
signature to the act that granted sepa-
rate government.
In 1864 he was elected first delegate
| in congress. In later years he filled a
number of diplomatic appointments
abroad. and several governmental posi-
tions in the southwest. His travels
have been worldwide, and his memory
is stin active in catchy personal re-
minscences that vary from tales of
rratcs on the China sea to stories Of
how he governed his little kingdom at
Tubac. In hygone days he issued sew
eral clever prose works, and his poetical
productions of 90 years ago are even
now considered of rare merit.-N. Y.

COMMENT AND OPINION.

ryAdmiral Dewey says that a sailor
cannot be a politician. Yet good
many democratic politicians to-day are
all at sea.-Boston Advertiser.
CFChicago is not showing the en-
thusiasm hoped for by Mr.. Bryan over
the platform which it had the honor of
christcning.-Wa Star.
UrBryan and his platform were COM
pletely ignored at the New York ten
dollar banquet. And they should have
been. The pair will get little else in
the future. Their hobby is dead.-Iowa
State Register.
rTJudge Van Wyck's attack on pro-
lection in the face of the existing pros
peritv takes him from the free silver
ward, but puts him among patients
equally as hopeless.-Philadelphia
North American.
DMr. Bryan should abdicate in ia
vor of somebody who wants the party
to win; who recognizes at least the
fundamental truth that more flies can
bc caught with molasssS than with
egar.-Albany Argus (Dem.).
GJIn a late letter Mr.. Bryan says: II
am satisfied that you are right in say
ing that many democrats who voted for
Mckinley are disappointed with the re-
publican administration and will vote
the democratic ticket in the future"
That is the merest surmise, and even
were it correct, it is offset ten to one
by republican farmers who voted for
Bryan who will never do it again

should Married Women Follow Pro-

Sarah Grand, the novelist. In reply, il
may be said that it all depends upon the
married wonan's husbands ability in
the way of providing the necessary

This opinion has been obtained from a

therefore, to be worth something.

Advantage. of Direct Buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have
in recent years inaugurated new system
of disposing of their products which is un'
qlalifedly to the advantage of the con-
sumner. Among the pioneers in this new
method of doing business was the Elkhart
Carriage and Harness Manufacturing com
pany Of Elkhart, Ind. These people began
this plan 20 years ago and have adhered to
it strictly ever since. The result has been
so entirely successful that they are today
the largest manufacturers OF carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con-
sumer exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are al
most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he, buys at
much lower price. There is no risk, as this
firm ship vehicles or harness everywhere for
examination, and guarantee every article
they manufacture and sell. The Elkhart Car
riage and Harness Manufacturing company
publish large illustrated catalogue, which
they will cheerfully mail allwho requestit.
