HEDGING.

A short time ago, the Republicans, with
blare of trunipets and beating of tom-toms, an
nounced to the. world that it (the G. o. p.)
would jump onto the trusts with both feet, and
wipe 'em eff the face of the earth-some time.
The papers and street-corner orators grew elo-
quent on the Subject, and actually made some
people believe they were in earnest. However,
the "other fellows pointed to the fact that
there are stringent antitrust laws now Oh the
stttute-books, and asked why these laws are
not being enforced. The g. o. p. fellows have
rot answered.
change has come over the spirit Of the
dreams of these loud-mouthed tooters, and they
are beginning to hedge. For instance, the
Lawrence World says cit is better to nave pros,
p.rity and trusts than closed factories and no
trust" Though Lawrence has both closed fac
tories and trusts. The editor of the Marysville
News warns the fellows who have been howl
ing about trusts that they will soon have to
quit, and that their words will come back to
plague them. The Topeka Capital and the
Kansas City Journal now have very little 10
say on the subject, though both have been pref
ty loud in their denunciation OF trusts for some
time. They know full we'll that if they put
up real genuine fight against the trusts, their
campaign fund i'll 1900 will be mighty slim.
The greater part of their fund in go came
from the trusts. No honest, well-informed Re-
publican will deny this.
Under the circumstances, real fight against
the trusts would place the Republicans in the
same box with the simple fellow who killed
the goose that laid the golden egg.
o, no; the Republicans are not going to fight
the trusts any to hurt.

IAN INTERNAL LIE"

A few days ago. the daily papers published
an interview with John P. Altgeld, in which he
was made to say among other things, that the
ratio between gold and silver must be abandon
ed ; that he "would not in any way attempt to
make the platform top-heavy with Io-to-one
declaration.
When we read this interview, we were sur
prised that Altgeld had made such ,decara-
ton. However, it is proven to have been only
another scheme to weaken him.
John P. Altgeld is the grandest man in the
Democratic party-not excepting VIM. j. Bry-
an. He is fearless and true-always on the
side of the common people. We would gladly
support him for president were he eligible.
But, back to the subject. Altgeld brands the
utterance above quoted from the interview as
an ssinfernal lie," and adds: "Both in Louis
Vile and ST. Louis,I said that to abandon the
ratio would be to abandon the cause. Those are
still my sentiments" He says that the silver
question will hold the same position in 1900 that
it held in 1ooo that free silver at the ratio of 1o
to islstronger with the people thanit ever was
A lot of Democratic politicians and papers
are trying to crush Altgeld, but they have
big lob on their hands.

FEARLESS JOHN BREIDENTHAL.

A couple of weeks ago, the Topeka Mail
and Breeze published what it purported to be
resolution passed by the recent Buffalo conven-
ton, to which John W. Breidenthal was del
egate, and asked John if he endorsed the reso-
luton. Unhesi!atingly, John replied as fol-
lows;
Topeka, KAs., Aug. I, 1S99.-Gentlemen
In the issue of the "Breeze" of July ID, in an
editorial headed, "Dld John Approve OF IT,
you say: "At the recent Buffalo assembly OF
refoimers this resolution was adopted 'Re-
solved, That this conference condemns the So
called Philippine war as an attack upon people
who have long fought for independence and VINO
are of right entitled to it, we call for the I'M
mediate withdrawal of our soldiers from the is
lands and REIMBURSEMENT of our claims and
sovereignty OF free people " Then follows
comments upon the resolution, in which some
very complimentary statements are made with
reference to myself, and in which you express
the desire to know whether approve OF that
sort of talk, and state that the columns OF your
paper are open to me to express myself Avail
ing myself of your kindness desire to say that
/ do not approve of the resolution adopted ;
neither did the Buffalo conference approve OF
this resolution No such resolution was adopt
ed by that conference. However, the confer
ence did express itself on the Philippine ques-
ton, and in order that you and your readers
may know just what the conference did say on
this subject, enclose herewith copy of the res
olution adopted by the conference, and must
say that endorse fully the sentiment express
ed therein. From the time that cast my hrst
presidential vote in Kansas and found, when
the votes were counted there was only one OF
the kind in the box where had deposited my
ballot, have never hestated to hold and ex-
press opinions on all public questions, regard
less of whether any considerable number OF
persons agreed with me or not. Thanking
you for your courtesy, l am, very truly yours,
JOHN w. PRUDENTIAL.

Wanamaker Warns Mckinley.

More than a month ago the North American
warned the president that the American people
were sick of the Philippine war, told him it
was failure and called OH him to raise large
army and conquer peace. The North American
was the first Republican newspaper i'll the
United States to tell the president the plain
truth. 1t owed that duty tC the country, to the
party and to him. Every Republican journal
of influence is repeating to him what the North
American then said, and Mr.. Mckinley is rails
ing the army.
The Republican party desires to be loyal to
the president, but self-preservation is tie con-
trolling motive with political parties as with
men,.
The Republican party is responsible for this
war. Does Mr.. Mckinley think that the party
would care to 60 into the presidential canvass
with the war unwon, and with failure and re-
tainer of failures candidate
The Republican party is more important than
can be depended upon to act upon the know
ledge
Unload Otis, Mr.McKinley, and end the war;
philadelphia North American.
Some impertinent individual rises TO the
question and asks why it is necessary for the
Republican parth to commence "resoluting"
against trusts. They Oil deck, they have
the machinery of government in their hands,
Republican laws are already supposed to be in
force. Instead of resoluting, why don't the
Republicans snatch the trusts bald headed !?
Why don't they enforce the laws now existing?
They have every opportunity why not apply
the remedies right at hand Why in thunder
don't they quit blowingand recommending and
janming wind, and do something? Griggs
says he can't do anything Mckinley says,
"See the attorney general about it; ~ and con-
gress says "We've made the laws lei the pres
ident enforce them. "-Independence Star and
