All Alike.

When the Antitrust Conference met in
Chicago recently a noted spokesman for
labor unions, Mr.. SAMUEL GoMPERs was
heard In an argument that those organlza-
tions differ from other trusts in being open
to all. While the ordinary trust, he said
seeks to keep its circle Of membership
small and to nonopoliZc the labor union
countenances no such system OF exclusion
or repression and invites the world.
That the distinction thus drawn in the
trust world Is imaginary appears again
from an utterance Of Judge WHITE OF
Pittsburg. in connection with injunction
proceedings brought by C. l.. FLAccUs a
Plttsburg glassmaker. to restrain the
officials OF the American Glass Workers
Union from inducing his apprentices to
break their contracts. Trades unions"
said Judge WHITE, have come to be tho
most tyrannous organizations we have. A
boy can no longer learn a trade in his
fathers own shop without the sanction OF
some trades union. AS conducted, they are
a menace to free institutions"
The Glass Workers Union is probably
more effectively organized than any other
OF the branch trusts OF labor. and more
restricting in Its membership. But so far as
concerns the principle on which trusts are
operated, there is absolutely no difference
between those stamped "capital" and
those stamped labor" Each seeks mo-
nopoly and opens or shuts its door as it
Is desirable or necessary for the benefit of
those already within.
Organized labor has learned to know
itself better since its great imitator the
industrial trust has arisen for observa-
ton; but tremendous lot OF intellectual
froth and moral deceit must be swept
away from 1t before it's own notion of what
1T lie shall be wholly rational

Another Democratic Senator, the Hon.
JOHN L. MCLAURIN OF South Carolina, has
broken away from his party and taken his
stand by the side Of MORGAN and LINDSAY
for the retention Of the Philippines. Mr..
MCLAURIN has the common-sense business
view Of the Importance Of the islands to tho
United States:
IF you want the open door, the United States
now holds the key. The archipelago OF the Philip

At present the South seems to care more
about sentimental declamatory Organism
than about business and commerce. Ulti-
mately the Morgans and McLaurins will
be followed because they are talking facts
and not sentimentalities, and because they
are looking to the future, and because ex-
pansion means new markets and higher
prices for the Southern people.

The Ascent of kenia.

attempts to reach its lofty plateau and the
steep ice-clad pinnacle rising above il.

him to turn back without attempting to
scale Victoria Peak, which rises only few
hundred feet above the rest OF the noun

clambered up the slope in 1893 to n height
OF 1900 feet, and in 1887 TELEKI and

due largely to the two Swiss guides whom

years have been attained with the aid OF
professional Alpine guides.
The brief cablegram in which Mr.. MAC
KINDER announces his success says that

Dark and Bloody Ground for Bryan.

The enormty OF Col. BRYAN's tactical
mistake in going into Kentucky 10 speak
for the unspeakabe GoEBEL is probably
now apparent to the Colonel himself
In a truly disinterested spirit we warned
him OF the folly Of his enterprise as long
ago as early in August. Early in Septem-
Der we warned him again. A kindergarten
child could have told him the same
thing. From the point OF view Of per-
sonal interest all the Colonel had to do
was to keep away from Kentucky this yea +.
Tonsilits, or elephantiasis, or any other
sufficiently disqualifying malady. would
have served him as pretext Or IL the
Colonel wanted for artistic reasons to be
perfectly square and straightforward on
this occasion, he might have said to the
Democrats of Kentucky, "Gentlem en-, set
tie your factonal disputes and get into limo
for the campaign OF next year, and after
ward | will go down and talk to you on
national issues with pleasure. l am not at
present devoting myself to the promotion
Of discord in our glorious party"
But BRYAN went, and thereby he has in
Cured both serious political damage and
bitter personal humiliation. He has sub
iected himself to the most singing rebuke
administered to party leader for years.
When JOHN Young BROWN, who represents
in this State contest whatever there Ia left
Of honesty and good faith in Blue Grass
Democracy, demanded Of BRYAN why he
advocated free government for the people Of
the Philippines il he denied it to
the people OF Kentucky by endorsing
the infamous Goebe Election law,
Col. BRYAN could only turn pale
and crawl. The very question was an
insult, deadly because OF the truth OF the
implication. The failure to answer it salts
factorily was absolute conviction on moral
grounds, and. what perhaps hurts BRYAN
vanity quite as much, lasting discredit in
the eyes Of those who Judge politicians
solely by the measure OF their dalectical
adroitness.
So BRYAN leaves Kentucky poorer in rep
utation, poorer in friends, richer in enemies
and ill-wishers, than when he entered that
State. And as he departs he is pursued by
drel for whose benefit he has sacrificed 81
much, that II he. GoEBEL, is elected in / 500
the GoEBEL Election law will be- used I'M
fllnchingly in 1900 to count the electoral
vote OF Kentucky for BRYAN!
Will 1t be surprising il this colossal
error Of judgment marks the turning point
in Col. BRYANs political fortunes2 II so 1t
should prove, Col. BRYAN has no one but
himself to blame.

"The Man without . Hoe"

Competitors for the prizes Of $500, 5000
and 800 offered by Responsibility and
guaranteed by THE Sun are reminded that
the time for the submission OF manuscripts
expired on Oct. 10, a week ago yesterday.
All OF the poems offered in competition
have been turned over to responsible
person. He asks us to beg indulgence in
his behalf IL a number OF letters OF inquiry
as to conditions remain unanswered, now
that the time has expired.
The poems actually submitted have not
been counted YETI but the number is con-
siderably over one thousand. They have
come from every section OF our own
country, many from Canada and some
from Mexico. The labor involved
in tho examination OF these can be
imagined when it is understood that
over a hundred thousand lines Of poetry
will have to bo read and critically esti-
mated. The present absence from town of
one OF the judges and the recent illness
of another may occasion slight delay in
the adjudication.
AS soon as the award is made, an an
nouncement of the same will appear i'll THE
Sun and the prize verses will be printed.
Meanwhile we cannot undertake TO answer
further inquiries in In dividual cases.

A Worldwide Anti-Imperialist t,

A queer Bryanite Of the name OF the Rev.
r. L. BIsBEE is on the stump In Massachu-
sets. He says that "the great souls OF the
age are coming to the 'front.'" mainly for
the purpose OF joining Ant-Imperlalist
leagues, Necessarily Mr.. BIsBEE comes to
the front. At Democratic rally in Chic
opee the other night Mr.. BIsBEE urged
young men to study the great utter

GEORGE SEwALL boutwell, and the Hon.
GEORGE FRIsBlE HoAR. Then he poured
forth this great utterance:

Whether it be the imperialism OF the dollar or the

cause In large sense they must stand or fall

Probably Mr. BIsBEE would be- embar-
rassed to tell exactly what this rigmarole
means. He may be a sentimental socolo-
