POLITICIANS NEED REFORMING

II anything should be reformed, 1t
should be the politician. and by the
politician we have especial reference
to the prot-ss 'onal ofiice holders, the
men who reed at the public trough.
The chief business In life OF these peo-
pie is to impress the voters with the
idea that they are their hard-working
would 30 to the bow-wows. It is es-
sential to their success that they make
good impression. and in order to
please everyone they blow hot and
they blow cold. When necessary they
perch on top of the political fence.
keeping a sharp lookout, and drop on
either side. and sometimes on both
sides-always, of course. trying to
land on the strong side and on the
proverbial bed OF roses. They are
strangers to consistency, and insincer-
ity marks them os its own.
II the politician did not play such
an important part in our government
If they did not shape the course OF
the political parties to which the
masses give blind allegiance. their
weaknesses and their vices could be
passed without comment. as they are
not the only ones who need reform
ing; but their influence is SO potent
that would We preserve the democra-
cy OF our government we must curtail
their power and their influence, or
else bring about radical REFORM

REPUBLICANS SCARED.

And now the Bryanites are trying
to make out that Republicans are
fearful OF the outcome In Maine. Re-
publican success in Maine is Just
about as doubtful as was Democratic
success in North Carolina.-omaha
Bee.
What the Republicans fear is no.
that the Bryanites will carry Maine
but that the Republican majority
there may be greatly reduced. In
1896 their plurality WAS 45.777. and.
o dear. what racket they made about
IT, They claimed II as n sure indica-
ton OF their coming triumph. and so
1t was. They did not rejoice because
they had carried the state. but be-
cause they had carried II so magnifi-
Gently. Now that they see that their
majority is going to be cut in two In
the middle they fear It AS the dread
portent OF coming disaster. They will
feel mighty bad when the Bryanites
are doing all the shouting over the
Maine erection and they are becoming
very sorry that they were so greedy
four years ago as to want all the votes
In that state. They fear that 45.77I
majority may be curse Instead OF n
blessing.

unovEsr,onED PROSPERITY.

Much anxiety is expressed lest there
be strike Of the workmen in the
sugar refneries OF the country. Just
now unquestioned Mckinley prosper
ity IL enjoyed by the sugar magnates.
There is no congress In session. and
consequently no fear as to legislation
hostile to the interests of these gen.
tlemen " control Of vast protected
industry. True, a political campaign
impends. But the contributions to Mr..
Hanna funds are readily secured by n
slight raise In price which falls upon
consumers. For some time there has
been loss endured by the sugar mag
mates, and the fruits of a well-laid
plan of looting the public have been
squandered by the representatives of
the better class, and high business in
terests. because of contention between
the trust and the Uitlanders OF the
sugar trade. Now the dove of peace
sits aloft over the sugar houses and
regular advances have been made in
the price OF sweets, while the annual
profits have risen scores OF millions.
And every member Of the sugar
trust cries loudly for a continuation of
this era OF prosperity. Every man
jack of them howls for Mckinley and
honest money. In unison they echo
the cry Of the solitary hero of San
Juan, that Democrats stand for every
thing that is bad. and deserve no bet
ter fate than Emperor William (of
Germany would mete to the terrible
Chinese. or the valiant Teddy to the
voters OF this country In 1896 who
dared vote for MIR. Bryan. But the
workers in the refineries receive no
portion of the advance in price and
profits in their industry. They may
contribute humbly to the era Of pros
perity by paying more for their su-
gar. They are not voiceless yet
and there are more OF them than OF
the magnates at the head of the con-
cern. Their time for speaking is ap-
preaching. and II they fail to speak
emphatica,,y they will lack sympathy

THE TRAVELLING MAN.

The World-Herald persists in re-
peating the false assertion that there
are not so man. travelling men on the
road now as there were in 1896. A
census Of the manufacturing and job
bling houses OF Omaha Will produce
figures that show exactly the reverse.
Omaha Bee.
Omaha is not the only pebble on
the beach. The travelling men of this
city mostly represent jobbing houses
and the wholesale merchants have not
yet formed trust. 1t is hardly an
answer to a general charge to con-
tradict 1t by the statistics OF one city.
and a small city at that. The news
papers have been full OF accounts OF
travelling men being let out by the
trusts and thousands OF commercial
travellers say that they have been dis
charged, but the Bee says they are
liars. because the same thing hasn't
happened In Omaha. The Philadel-
phia platform contains n plank against
trusts. yet every Republican news
paper. big and little. is a defender OF
trusts. and will not listen to anything

the NoBLEsT ACT OF HIS

Was Whom Ie Voted for Free Silver

The following extract is taken from
Congressman Richardson's speech at
Indianapolis:
My Republican witness says: I
am for the largest use OF silver in the
currency OF this country would not
dishonor 1t. would give 1t equal
credit and honor with gold. I would
make no discrimination. would util-
ize boln metals as money and discredit

demned business Of worshiping the

man do you suppose made that forci-

which have just quoted? 1t wasn't

Wasn't William ]. Bryan, the peer

It was no Democrat, no Populist. 1t
was \ man whom you delight to hon

ut Of apoplexy when tell you his
name. 1t was the head man of the
Republican pie counter, William Nc
Kinley, president Of the United States,
and now running for reelection on a
gold standard platform after signing
q gold standard bill. He is the man
who said 1t. He said It on the floor
Of the American congress. 1t is SO
printed In The Record. You can't
deny 1t. Those words were spoken by
William Mckinley. your Idol, with
front Of brass and feet Of clay. spoken
by him when he was yet free and be-
fore he had fallen under the malign
influence OF Mark Hanna and his foul
crew Of political buccaneers. What's
more. Mckinley, in addition to spaak-
ing In favor of silver, voted for 1t and
voted for the original Bland silver
bill, which was bill for the free and
unlimited coinage Of gold and silver
at Is to /. He voted for the Bland bill
with the Allison amendments. and

COST OF IMPERIALISM.

Suppose a law were passed COM
pelling every family in the country to
pay a tax OF 81 month for the pur-
pose Of educating and helping the in
habitants OF an island 5000 miles from
San Francisco, what would the people
do to the party that made such law?
Just think 1t over for minute and
then sit down. take your pencil and
figure up what the war against the
Filipinos is costing you. Do you be-
lieve In killing folks and stealing their
country for the sake OF making mon
cy? II not what are you paying this
war tax for? Certainly we can't civil
lie those brown folks after we kill
them, and you wouldn't pay dollar
a month for that worthy object even
II We could. Now, is II not a fact that
this tax is paid because 1t is' expected
that some time in the future enough
money can be made out OF the Filipi-
nos to pay all the expenses and a
good profit beside7 II this is not so
