TIE G0EERNoRS OPPORTUNITY.

Probably nothing which Governor Roosevelt
can do, either as a Governor a candidate,
during this campaign will please the Bryanites
except vigorous prosecution of the Ice Trust
and removal of the Mayor il good reason for
such action is found. That is the one course
open to him which must command the approval
of Mr.. Bryan, Mr. Croker Judge Van Wyck
and the other leaders of Democracy, and to
certain extent weaken the force of their oppo-
sition to him.
What they have been wanting is a stern and
courageous foe to trusts one who would be
against a particular trust when there was
chance to strike ii, not merely against trusts in
general as an academic proposition for popular
consumption. they demand the election of the
Democratic ticket in their platform on the
ground of ''tbe dishonest paltering with the
trust evil by the Republican party" and even
if they cannot rejoice to see Republican Gov
ernor who is not paltering but taking effective
measures against a trust they will be bound to
give him credit for that action and except him
from their wholesale condemnation. They also
charge in their platform that the Republican
Administration protects trusts lin return for
campaign subscriptions and political support"
That is a general accusation and 1t is difficult
to lay hand on a particular trust to test 1t. The
only trust yet found entering into relations with
an administration is the Ice Trust, which, hav-
ing reasons to possess the friendship of the
Mayor OF New-York, since it sells goods to the
city and leases docks from it, gave him $500000,
par value, of its stock for a small amount of
cash and a large amount of notes, the greater
part Of which have not been paid, and there is
no evidence that they were ever intended to be
paid. Now this offers test. Is it true that
Republican Administration will permit public
official thus TO deal with a trust which is not
only trying to build up a monopoly in his city
but also engages in business and makes con-
tracts with that city? 1t is for Republicans to
show that they will no more tolerate such
thing than will Mr. Bryan or Mr.. Croker or Mr.
Augustus Van Wyck.
OF course, the Governor in dealing with this
subject will be acting in a semi-judicial capac
ity, and it is not our purpose to anticipate
try to influence his decision But if the facts
on full investigation show that Mayor Van
Wyck has been fostering the interest of the Ice
Trust there is no doubt that all Bryanites in
Guiding Augustus Van Wyck, the New-YOrk
representative in making the antitrust plat
form, will applaud his removal and be thankful
for one blow at least at the trusts and the
wicked officials who sell themselves and their
power to the Oppressors of the poor
New-York tribune., 1900-07-11

Mr.. Lewis, Judging from their general stand
ard of character and judgment on other mat
ters, there should be little doubt that the latter
will prevail by large majority. Judging, too,
from such varying expressions of intention and
reasons as those we have quoted, the Anti
Imperialists will divide pretty nearly on former
party lines sinking their distinctive issue before
the really paramount issues of honest money
and honest Judiciary. The exceptions will be
those who are reconciled to Mr. Bryan through
the Conservatism" of Mr.. Stevenson. And
those will be such as are capable of believing
that black Is white

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.

Some Of those who belonged to the National
Democratic organization four years ago and
may have voted for Palmer and Buckner are
hastily expressing the opinion that a third
ticket ought TO be put in the field again this
year, while here and there one of them lis
heard 10 declare that it is a duty to support
Bryan outright in order 10 beat Mckinley But
there are indications that a large majority of
the Gold Democrats of 1895 feel no sympathy
with either OF these propositions and will use
their influence 10 save the indianapolis confer
ence two weeks hence from being led astray by
foolish and unpatriotic counsels The report
comes from Louisville that this view of what the
situation requires is rapidly winning favor Gen
eral Buckner's secretary is quoted as saving
that resolutions viii be adopted at the meeting
in Indianapolis reafirming the National Demo
cratic platform and calling upon all Democrats
who are loyal 10 IT'S principles TO employ the
most effective means 10 defeat Bryan This
prediction may be premature but there would
seem 10 be no doubt that General Buckner's
own position is accurately denoted by his sec
retary, for he expressed himself to the same
effect few weeks ago, in anticipation of the
proceedings Of the Kansas City Convention.
In our opinion, no serious harm of a prac-
teal nature would result even if the original
antiBryan Democratic organization should he
conuCIed ID The interest Of Bryan by those who
now admit that they are willing to support
him. Thus far at least there is little reason to
suppose that they would succeed in persuading
any considerable number Of those whose sin
ceI1ty four years ago has been generally
acknowledged TO betray the principles they then
proclaimed. The meaning of Organism is not
less plain now than il was then. 1t is as clear
as ever that in the words of Mr. Charlton r
Lewis. the paramount issue 'is nothing more
''or less than the preservation Of our National
institutions and few Of those who deliber
ately, if not invariably in the most effective
manner, opposed all that Bryan represented in
1896 will fail 10 agree with Mr. Lewis's asser-
ton that instead Of improving during the last
-four years the so called Democracy has de-
''cidedly retrogressed.' The fact was unblusb
ingly put on record in its every act and utter
ance al Kansas Ciry.
But while a great majority Of the men who
%lH ieei peculiar interest in the proceedings
OF The indianapolis conference would disdain
fully refuse 10 follow il into the BRYAN camp
and while such a betrayal of the princin,as
which the Gold Democrats have espoused might
even serve the purpose of drawing the line
clearly between sincerity and pretenre II is
nevertheless earnestly 10 be hoped that tbe
country VIII be spared such a masquerade of
spurious virtues as that would be Our esteemed
Democratic contemporary, "The New-York
Times, having under consideration the nossi
bility not Of a bald committal to Rrvapisn, az
+"hlanapolis but of a repetition of the policy

into band wagon promptly and with more
UBPROFITABLE TRADE.

The German Emperor addressing the men OF
the First Naval Division on their departure for
service in China, bade them to remember that
they would have Ito fight a cunning foe, pro-
''vided with modern weapons, TO avenge the
German blood which has flowed" In that he
spoke truth But with equal truth he might
have added that the Chinese had been provided
with those modern weapons by German trades
men for the sake of gain; for in the single year
1899 q single German firm sold to China no less
than 100000 Mauser rifles. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that the German Minister was MUIR
dered with weapons made in Germany"
We have no doubt that the German trades
men realized large profits on those 100000 rifles;
and so have large profits been realized by
Tadesmen in other lands, the United States
included, who have supplied warlike weapons to
the Chinese. No doubt such items have helped
TO swell the totals of foreign commerce in which
the various nations have taken so much pride.
Yet when the costs Of the present troubles are
taken into account we greatly doubt if these
transactions will be found to have been particu-
larly profitable On the contrary, it would be
money in the pocket of Germany to-day if she
had never sold one of those 100000 rifles TO
China. 1t would be money saved and lives
saved to all the Powers if they had not for
sake of gain armed the savage hOrdes they were
trying to hold in subjectiOn.
