IT doesn't matter whether the Dem

IT doesn't matter whether the Dem
ocrats conclude to give the trusts first
place and silver second place, or vice
versa; the fact remains, and must re-
main undisputed, that there will be an
even deeper rift in the Democratic
party than there was in 1896. Every
thing, and more than everything that
was promised by the Republicans in
the 1896 campaign has been delivered,
and the prosperity which was predicted
has come, and come to stay. There is
every Indication that times will be
better during the next year, and if
they are the man who goes out look
ing for somebody to listen to him talk
silver and calamity will find himself
without an audience. Republicans
need ask nothing better than the re-
nomination of Bryan, and the re-afirm-
alton of the Chicago platform.

Z. ,KNUTE NELSON, declined jan invita-

ditto, in Minneapolis, and two or three.
OF the Twin City papers have been
making capital OF it and saying that
the senator was looking for trouble.
From what we know of Senator Nelson.
we should say that he never purposely
sighted or offended anyone, but, that
having due consideration for his health.
and his own feelings, he would stay as
far as possible away from these ,slushy
social functions, where they battle the
inner man with all sorts of indigestible
liquor and solid compounds, and pelt one
another with all kinds of over-drawn.
fawny, hattering speeches. There was
no special reason why Senator Nelson
should have gone out of his way to at
tend either of these banquets, he
doesn't like that sort of thing: hesis
not society man in any sense Of the
word, and is more at home on the floor
OF the senate or at his desk than he
would be at the foot of a banquet table,

THERE is one very significant thing
in the attitude Of the Republican and
Democratic parties, and that is the
standing which they respectively take
in reference to the two last presiden-
tial platforms. =, 1t is universally &C
cepted as a matter of fact that the Re
publicans will re-affirm the St. Louis
platform, and 60 through another cam
with that document as its text. But
with the Democrats it is different:
They don't know whether to stand by
the Chicago platform, make new one
or splice out the Chicago article with
something little different and add a
few amendments. This simply shows
that while the Democratic party is
ever shifting and changing its - ground.
the Republican party takes its stand
for the right, and is the same yester-
day, to-day and forever.

REPUBLICANS allsover the country
are beginning to recognize the abso-
Lutte necessity Of an earnest and consis-
tent tight on the trusts. The trusts
know that when the Republicans take
hold of them they will be handled
without gloves, they are not in the
least afraid of the noisy threats Of the
Democrats and Populists, because they
never accomplished anything, but
when the sentiment OF the Republican
party crystalizes and decides upon a
coorse of action, the trusts will be like

A lot of the city newspapers are
making monkeys Of themselves in this
discussion about the mastering out of
the Thirteenth regiment. The Thir-
teenth regiment has done sufficient
honor to itself and the State to be en-
titled to decent consideration, and it
isn't decent consideration to propose
making it kind of dime museum en-
tertainment for the benefit of a lot of
gawks, and a freak show to draw
crowds to the cities. The regiment
will be given its due of honors in a
proper and decorous way, and the mus
tering-out shows proposed by various

LIND REFORMER.

Minnesota has a soldier governor
AS candidate he was reformer. a
foe to corporate greed, an advocate of
more equitable regulation of corporate
wealth. He has achieved a remark
able victory also in debating to the
legislature. He has secured the credit
OF favoring an increase of railroad
taxes without being under the unpleas-
ant necessity of being compelled to
veto bill to that effect. He has stood
on two sides of fence by vetoing hos
pital bill and then approving it; he
has preached economy and allowed
Duluth a new normal school and when
a measure ipimical to the great North
ern Railway came to him, he rose
above paltry considerations of public
interests and allowin g the legislature
to depart, quietly knitted the Miller bill
for no avowed reason. He recommended
the bill in his message. Was not that
enough? What more could the peo-
pie ask of a political orphan?- Freebor,7

HENCE THE SCARCITY.

The Memphis Appeal falls into
the error of supposing that Edward
Atkinson, the Boston Filipino, is a
protectionist. On the contrary, as the
Minneapolis journal points out, '.Mr.
Atkinson has been an out and out. free
trader thirty years and has been a
thorn in the flesh of the manufacturers
who constitute the Home Market Club
ever since it was organized. Mr.. At
kinson's invention of the coal oil stove
and the recipes for meals for six or
seven persons costing Is cents were
discovered in the interest of free-trade
to the end that by cheap living the
United States could compete. with
Europe without a protective tariff. AS
protectionists we cannot have Mr..
Atkinson charged to US now.' IT,.
1t is a curious fact that nearly all of
our domestic Filipinos are free-traders.
Protectionists have formed the, habit
of thinking that America is the best
country on earth, and that the enc
mics of America should be them enc
mics. Hence the scarcity of domestic
Filipinos among protectionists.- tAn1er-

steamer Leaves Norway to Search
For the Arctic Explorer.
Washington, Aug 5.-Mrs Walter
Wellman has been notified that a
staunch steamer has left Norway for
Franz Josef Land to bring off Mr.. Well
man. the arctic explorer The letter In
which this news is conveyed said:
THE Capella, fine. strong steamer,
built for sea fishing and forcing the ice.
was chartered for the trip. She stopped
at Vardo several weeks ago to lay in a
supply of coal and she was then to
cruise about Franz Josef Land The
captain carried instructions where to
look for the Wellman party, but the
probabilities are it will be found at
Cape Flora, Franz Josef Land"
Nothing has been heard from the
Wellman party for about year. be-
cause it has been far beyond malls and
telegraph lines. If Mr.. Welman 8
plans do not miscarry he should be
heard from this month. He expected to
reach the southern shore of Franz Jo-
SET Land about this time and the res
cuing ship was expected to find him and
carry him back to Norway.
1t Is possible. however. that on ac-
count of the ice the ship can not reach
the shores OF Franz Josef Land, in
which event the explorers viii have to
remain frozen in another year. Mr..
Wellman was prepared for this con-
tingency
While his relatives and friends hope
to get news from him within the next
two or three weeks. failure to hear
from him will not be taken to indicate
any disaster to the daring explorers.

Garcia says that he considered the sup

serious mistake.
1T was Spanish custom" he said, to
arrest editors and suppress their papers
for daring to criticise Spanish methods
and 1t would seem from Gen. Ludlow's
action that he is pursuing the Spanish
policy which has been justly denounced
In the United States. Besides this act
on the part of the military authorities
will be construed by many Cubans to
mean that the civil authorities are mere
figureheads and will no doubt produce
bad feeling. The civil laws in Cuba
are ample to punish people who commit
libel. I admit do not know all the
facts, but do know that to be consist
ent Gen. Ludlow will have to suppress
other Cuban papers that have criticised
Gen. Brooke's appointments. / know
Gen. Ludlow and admire him and I
take 1t that he has been imposed upon.

or unjustly, the administration? There

erty without free speech and free
