prosperity" cannot change these
issues or do away with the mission
of the silver parties. Both have
come to stay. The reform parties
believe that the doctrines taught in
the national constitution and ieclar-
alton of independence are right and
should be upheld. They believe
that the millionaire should be gov
erned by and forced to obey the law
the same as the poor man. They
believe that the money of Abraham
Lincoln is good money and that the
financial system under which the
the nation grew and prospered is
a good system. They do not believe
that this nation should bow the knee
to monarchial Europe IN asking
what u financial policy shall be,
but that Uncle Sam is big enough
and strong enough to legislate for
his own people on any subject and
at any time.

The Sultan Of Sulu having been
given a S12, 900 retainer, has come
out in a strong ground o b j n"
20 his subjects informing them
that the Americans are his friends
and are not to be shot at from the
Jungle. OF urse the admins
tration has no legal or consti-
tutional right to bride this Sulu
savage into submission or to pro-
mise that his polygamous and
slave holding customs shall not be
interferrd with. But it salves
its conscience by occasionally
gong out and bagging a Mormon
for continuing to live with the
wives Of his bosom and by sending
fearful condolences to the new
president Of San Domingo, who
hasn't got over grinning with Joy
at the assassination Of his pro.
Idecessor.

The Truth Will Out,

TO keep the public ignorant of the
real state affairs in the Philippines is
impossible. No n with a grain of
common sense would suppose for a
momen that the country would be
satisfied to take it's news solely from the
president or the secretary of war or the
general in command of our eastern
forces. The reputable press of the
country is the direct medium of infor-
nation between the people and their
officials, civil or military, and any at
tempt to Slut the mouths of the
correspondents OF reliable newspapers
will always be resented promptly and
emphatically by tie public.

In these days of antitrust agita-

In these days of antitrust agita-
ton it is as we'll to look for the
wolves in Sleeps clothing. The
enemy who takes the guise of
friendship is vastly more to be
feared than the one who can be
met in the open. This word of
caution is suggested by the alleg.
ed organization of antitrust
league in Washington, which
promises itself to have branches in
every state. This antitrust league
howls in general terms about the
evils of trusts in about the same
language as will be adopted by the
republicans in the next national
campaign. This antitrust league
benevolently invites into its fold
every man who objects to the
trusts, whether he be republican
or democrat. Some of the hall
dozen men, who are the only
visible membership of the afore.
said league at present, are by nc
means above suspicion as to theil
POLITICAL methods. They have
everything. to gain and nothing
to lose by organizing any sort of {
league with a catchy title which
will pull voters away from the
silvermen. 1t may be remarked
in passing that the allied silve
parties are gong to afford plent,
of opportunity for every voter VIII
wishes to fight the trusts for the
next year or SO, and that is where
results are to be accomplished.

A Cabinet of MilIionaires.

McKinley's cabinet is now equally
divided between the east and the mid
Gle west, but there is no member from
west of iowa or south of Missouri, and
nearly every member of the cabinet is
very wealthy. Hay married the
daughter of Amasa Stone, the Cleve-
land millionaire. Gage was president
of one of the leading national banks Of
the country. Long is independently
wealthy. Hitchcock is a protected
millionaire manufacturer. The two
able attorneys, Root and Griggs, are
best known as corporation lawyers and
Griggs has no time, he says, to fight
the trusts. 1t is emphatically a capt.
talistic aggregation.-Butfal Courier.

Individual Prosperity Needed.

That prosperity is here aud in full
tide cannot be doubted even by the
most skeptical. The grain crop of the
vest and northwest is enormous; every
blast fur nace in Pittsburg is producing
to its full capacity; the coke ovens are
all hot; pig iron cannot be put On the
market fast enough to fill the demand;
the copper production is the largest
ever reported; exports are rising and
immigration is increasing. This is
largely gratifying. But it is not
enough for a nation to be rich. Real
prosperity depends not only upon the
quantity of wealth, but upon its equit-
able distribution. Unless all the peo-
pie receive each his just share Of the
annual increment the story Of prosper
ity is u glittering dreamer a night
mare.-St. Louis POST isyatch.
