Prosperity and Politics.

There will be desperate effort or
the part of the Republican party during
the coming campaign to demonstrate
the unusual business prosperity that
has come to the country under Presideni
McKinley's administration and the re-
sultant fact that the party is the work
ingman's friend. A cold-blooded sur
vey of the facts will fail to convince the
people that either proposition is true.
Following close upon the action of the
American Steel and Wire trust in
closing down twelve mills. and throw
ing several thousand men out OF en-
ploymeut, comes the announcement
that several departments of the Illinois
steel works have been closed, and that
$500 men are idle. One of two con-
clusions is inevitable: either the al
legged prosperity" is mere transient
boom, or else. in order to pay dividends
on inflated trust stock, prices of steel
products have been placed 80 high that
trade has been ruined.
Another fact to be considered Is the
number OF strikes now in progress in
various parts of the country, occa-
stoned by the demand for higher wages.
If it be true that prosperity is prevail
ing. then employers can afford to meet
the demands of their men. But If the
employers position be correct that
they cannot afford to advance wages,
then business is not what is being
claimed for it. Either there is no
prosperity" or else the employers are
retaining too large proportion OF the
profits of production.
The advance agents of prosperity, y
therefore, who have gone into politics
are between two fires. They have the
devil on one hand and the deep sea on
the other. They fooled the country
four years ago. We do not believe
they can do it again. NesOs.

vention, which will assemble at Kan
sas City on the coming anniversary o
the Declaration of Independence.
The events at Chicago and in the
campaign four years ago make thi
action deeply significant. 1t is fraugh
with augury for the success of the
democratic party in the impending
election.
The loss of New York in 90 was il
a great measure due both to the open
revolt in the Chicago convention of 6
number of influential democrats of the
Empire state and to their apathy dur
ing the campaign, which resulted in
the election of Hannaized president
and congress.
Wholesale official corruption, ineffi.
cheney. mismanagement, profigacy in
public expenditures, scandals, abuses,
thievery in many of the appointive of.
fees, trust domination, fragrant viola
tions of the constitution, subserviency
to England, the spurning by the presi-
dent and his henchmen in both branch
es of congress of the appeals of op-
pressed patriots battling for freedom
in South Africa, the plunging of the
republic into the business of establish
ing colonies by bloodshed and force
and ruling them by corrupt carpet-bag-
gers, the practical abrogation of the
Monroe doctrine and the Inauguration
of huge scheme of militarism, are
republican crimes which long ago
brought the defeated democrats of New
York to realizing sense of the error
committed in allowing their state to
pass under the dominion of a party
that is held together by the cohesive
power of public plunder and is fast
changing our form of government from
a republic ruled by manhood suffrage
to an oligarchy governed by the poll
tical tools of syndicates and trusts.
Object lessons like these have welded
together the democracy OF New York
in solid and determined phalanx. No
factional differences any longer exist
among them. They will move on to
the reconqaest of their state in Novem
Der and pile up majority for VIM.

of the old-fashioned victories that New
York has so often won for the demo-
cracy in the past.-K. C. Times.

The Faith of the Flag.

sWho will haul down the flag?" quoth he
Why, no hand of flesh or bone
Can lower that flag on land or sea
Till the faith of the flag is gone!
Till few shall rule and cunningly keep
The bunting to garnish their greed;
Till dollars are dear and humanity cheap
By the force of Tory creed!
Then will it fall! but answer US clear,
Do you fancy that hour is drawing near?
Did our liberty bell ring in vain?
Was our Declaration lie?
Must we turn to the Old World again
With the penitent prodigal's cry?
Must we arm US and march in the van
Of Europe's barbaric parade,
And boom out gunpowder gospel to man
To open pathway for trade?
Shall we strut through the world and blus.
ter and brag
With the dollar mark stamped on the brave
old flag?
Nay! haul up the flag raise it high!
Not yet is its spirit spent!
Let it sing to the wind and the sky
The truth that it always meant!
Let it sing of the birthwright of man,
Of progress that never can lag;
Let it sing that trade may go where it can
But liberty follows the flag!

For Bryan and the Platform.

The Times forecast of the result oi
the New York democratic convention,
made some weeks ago, has been carried
out to the letter.
The united democracy of the Empire
state has not only acknowledged with
out dissenting voice, the leadership
and declared in favor of the nomination
of VIM. Jennings Bryan, but it has en-
phatically and unequivoeally pledged
itself in advance to stand by and ac-
cept whatever platform of principles
may be adopted by the national con-

ness" and she is evidently straining
all her efforts to get in on the ground
floor in the carving up of the Flowery
Kingdom, which seems inevitable.
II by means OF her large military and
naval forces Russia can succeed at the
start in getting control of the. situation
in and around Peking. suppressing the
Boxers insurrection and assuming
connivance and consent of the empress
dowager, she will have won the first
rubber in the game she has so long
been playing.
That some such plan as this actuates
the czar's government is plain, from
the attitude of aloofness Russia has as
sumed in landing troops and marines
near Tien-Tsin, in attacking the Box
ers," and, moreover, in the firm re-
quest of her charge d'affairs at Wash
ington to our government, not to CO.
operate as an ally with England in any
movement in China.
While Great Britain is on hand with
a squadron of warships and Germany,
Italy and the United States are near
the scene of trouble in like force, and
have each landed few hundred ma
rines, Russia has an available army of
several thousand men ready to take a
hand in the fighting. beside quite a
strong squadron of war vessels availa-
BILE for immediate hostilities.
The only strong close-at' hand mill
tary force the Muscovite power in
China has to dread for the moment is
Japan, which has powerful fleet of
warships in Chinese waters and we'll
equipped and seasoned army, which
she can pour into China almost as
quickly as Russia can concentrate her
land forces about the Chinese capital.
Japan is spelling for fight with
Russia, to settle up old scores growing
out of the China-Japanese war, and
having the unmistakable backing of
England, the present monthSmay see
the wiry little Japs mixing conclusions
with the big limbed soldiers from the
valleys of the Don and Dneiper.
The proper attitude of this govern
ment under the circumstances should be
to preserve strict neutrality as be-
tween these belligerent nations, ready
to fly at one arother's throats in the Ori-
ent, and to use its military and naval
forces no further than is necessary to
protect the lives and belongings of
American citizens which are menaced
by the threatening aspect of affairs.
With the capacity to blunder shown
by our department of state in the past,
and with the example of its funkeyish
subserviency to England in conducting
foreign affairs before the eyes of the
country, it is generally doubted by our
people that this wise '.hands-off''
course will be pursued by the admins
tration in the Chinese complications.

Dull Day in the House.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-This was a
dull day in the House considering the

City Will be Favorable to Bryan.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 2S.-Com-
plete returns from the Democratic pri-
maries, which have now been held in
seventeen of the twenty-three coun-
ties in Maryland, show that unless a
change of front occurs before June s.,
the day set for the State convention,
the delegates in favor of a Bryan in
structed delegation will control that
body.
All the eastern shore as we'll as the
northern counties favor an instructed
delegation, but while the free silver
sentiment also strongly pervades those
sections of the State the delegates to
the State convention will be satisfied
with instructing for Bryan and allow
the regular organization managers
their way in the matter of the plat
form.
The primaries in Baltimore will be
held next Thursday. In two of the
three districts, the Bryan Chicago
platform men will elect their dele
gates. The organization managers, it
is stated, will avoid a fight so far as
instructing the delegates to Kansas
City, but they will do all in their power
to prevent any platform declaration
in favor of silver.

Will Put Strict Quarantine Into
Effect in Chinatown.
SANFRANCISCO, May 2S.-The
plague situation assumed a new phase
tonight which will probably result in
the quarantining of the Chinese sec
ton of the city.
The quarantining of Chinatown was
not called forth by any unfavorable
Developments, but it was due 20 the
necessity of providing for the better
control of the situation in view of the
fact that the U. S. circuit court to-day
issued an order restraining the local
board of health and DR.. Kinyoun, the
U. S. surgeon, from inoculating Chi
nese and Japanese. When the decision
of the court was rendered, Surgeon
Kinyoun called off his inspection and
notified Surgeon General Wyman of
the courts action. The State Board
then took the matter in hand. At a
meeting Of that body a resolution was
passed instructing the local board of
health to place an effective quarantine
around Chinatown.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. May estate La
Dor Commissioner Thomas P. Rixey to-
day sent letters to President Edward
Whitaker Of the Transit Company.
and Chairman T. b. Edwards. of the
strikers grievance committee, citing
to them certain sections of Chapter III
of the revised statutes of Missouri, and
concluding:
I'm accordance with said law, you
are hereby requested to suggest the
names of two suitable persons to act
as arbitrators as provided in said sec
ton. Failing to comply with this re-
quest within twenty-four hours, shall
make the appointments as the law pro-
vides."
The statutes referred to provide that
in case of strike or lockout. the
State commissioner of labor statistics
and inspection may require the APP
pointment of board of arbitration TO
inquire into the merits of the case and
tender an unbiased opinion.
The statutes set forth that this ac-
ton may be taken by the labor COM
missioner only when work is going on.
The labor commissioner takes it for
granted that as cars are running, this
provision in the statutes does not stand
in the way of taking steps toward
forming an arbitration board.
meeting attended by the presi-
dents of mercantile organizations and
clubs and representatives of the daily
newspapers of st. Louis, was held this
afternoon to discuss the strike situa-
ton. This meeting appointed a COM
mlttee OF seven to call upon the ST.
Louis Transit Company and the strik-
ers grievance committee and ascer-
tain whether both sides were willing
to submit their differences to arbitra-
ton.
A car on the Bellefontaine line Of the
Transit company was partly wrecked by
an explosion of dynamite placed on the
tracks by unknown parties at Newhouse
avenue and Twentieth street this even
ing. Officers Stelaine and Keefe. who
were detailed to protect the car were SER
iously injured. Officer Keefe sustaining
fracture Of the right leg above the knee
and Officer Stelaine being badly bruised
and shaken The passengers and crew es-
capped uninjured. A sensational story is
current tonight that several days ago
two stone quarries were robbed of 500
pounds of dynamite by unknown parties.
1t some quarters the belief exists that
portion of the stolen explosive was used
TO wreck the Bellefontaine car.
