We observe that General Wood, who

scinded that Infamous edict, so that

But what has become of the investl-
cation of Cuban affairs that was order
ed as the result of the Neely and Rath-
bone scandal? 1t has been turned over

to favor suppression. The senate COM
mittee on relations with Cuba called
on the war department for a detailed
statement of receipts and disburse-
ments in that island, but carpet-bag-
ism has been influential enough TO
put an end to the investigation. The
war department has made no response

from the fundamental principles which
called the organization together that u
plea for human rights and a reassertion
Of the doctrines of the declaration of
independence are denounced by its or
gans as treason. Could anything more
completely illustrate the unlawful and
treacherous purposes of the republican
party, figuring as "the government"
than this wild and furious attack on
the doctrines set forth in the declara-
ton of independence? The Filipinos
regard Americans as their enemies.
and for the time being they are the
enemies of our troops, but the Ameri-
can people have to consider in this
campaign that they and their institu-
tiOns have worse and more cunning
enemies to deal with--enemies of our
institutions and our form of govern
ment-in the agents of the trusts and
syndicates which now have charge OF
the machinery OF the republican party.
1t is these agents of trusts and syn
dicates which have given the organs
the cue to denounce as ''treasonable'
the doctrines Of the founders of the re-
public and Of Abraham Lincoln. We
are convinced that the republican vo-
ters of the country will repudiate the
bold and treacherous attack on our
institutions which the trusts and the
money power are now engineering and
financing.

Let the South Stand Firm.

We have now entered upon the last
week Of August and the first of Sep
temher is at hand.
That means that one years toll,
| freighted with one years hopes and
| ambitions, is now in the market, and
| that upon its good return depends so
much for the veal or the woe of our
whole people
One year ago The Constitution was
| the first to scent the conspiracy by
which the cotton market was cornered
against the producer. 1t started the
rallying cry OF s cents for cotton, on
! the common sense proposition that it
was intrinsically worth even more
than that in the market. The figure
was reached and passed, despite the
conspiracy which had been formed to
market it at figures ranging below 6
cents.
In that contest. though The Consti-
tuition placed all its resources at the
service OF the farmers. success was
only made possible by the instant and
hearty cooperation of the weekly
newspapers of the south. The editors
Of these newspapers stand closer TO
the farmer than is possible for those
in large cities. They know their hard
ships and long sufferings; they wit
ness the daily struggle to keep wife
and child in bread and meat; they are
witnesses Of the silent and enduring
patience and herOism of the men who
! toll in the fields Of the south. When
I these editors. then, took the matter
up. it was in friendly hands, and there
could be no doubt Of the result.
Another element. speaking for the
cities. The Constitution appealed to
the bankers and business men gerer-
o'ly Fhere is not q business or q
profession in the Sc 3 but is depen
dent for its success upon the cotton
planter. This then. was no cotton
planters mOvement-it was one which
carried in It the fate of every bust
ness in the country. Why not recOg
nize an evident fact and join in with
the farmer? The answer was graft
flying. it was cheering. The people
cOalesced in many ways. one among
them being the Cotton Planters Pro-
tectiye Union. which has for its pur-
pose q better understanding between
those whose hands touch the plow and
those who arc allied with them.

tiou to get 10 cents for cotton

the strongest potentialties OF the
day. When as many farmers as
can viii meet in their respective
communities on the 4th Of September,
they will become combined into one
Composite Fact which will have to be

cotton. All ether business men have
the right 20 survey the market, then
why not The farmer?

whom it has led so successfully TO

Another Hoon in Pensions.

The pension business has taken on
new life since the outbreak Of the
Spanish-American war.
The report of the pension Office ND
to July 1st, shows that already more
pensions have been applied for on ac-
count Of the war than the number OF
men who saw actual service in 4. In
all, 30.9S1 pensions have been applied
for within two years after the cessation
Of hOstlitios. out Of IN army Of 100000.
one-half Of whom were never out OF
camp. II is estimated that by this time
next year the total number Of applica-
tions for pensions on account Of the
Spanish war viii have reached the
Grand total OF 30 coo That is that
within three wears after their muster
In pensions viii have been applied for

mr. Brvnn,s Latest snaech.

Mr. Bryan's speech. in accepting the
pcDulist nomination for the presiden-
cy, is q mastery analysis of the prin-
ciples governing human action.
In drawing the parallel between. pop
ulism and democrac, ho makes il clear
tnat the pUpulis1s laFe ialGely a.'at
in the Campaign of education which
has aroused the masses against the
constant encroachments which had
been made upon their rights and libcr-
ties. Stripping the situation Of paru-
sanship, he demonstrated that the
common people We're in practical ac-
cord. and that on this side was the
right-on the other, the enemy.
The speech viii have wonderful
effect in uniting those who ere more
concerned for the perpetuity Of our
government than about the disposition
Of any temporary question. Questions
which contain eternal truths will come
to the front again, because defeat only
means delay. and not annih.lat.0n.
-Four years ago the people were con-
cerned about q question OF internal
policy. Today they are concerned with
the much broader question as to
whether they have q government at
all. The government Of the fathers,
and not a tin-piated form Of impe-
rialism, is what they want.
Read the speech and ponder over it.

AS for Minister COnger, here is the
use to which he is to be put-the in

quently. as at Pana, H.. wanting no
prOvocation at all. the world. including
the negroes. is expected TO believe that
the benevolence of n few men, not one
per cent of the population, stands for
northern sentiment.
On the other hand the south has n
serious situation TO deal with all the
time and whatever problem there is in
IL is made more serious still by the
wild advice which the negroes have
been receiving from the north and
from some of their own would-be lead
ers. The people OF the south have to
deal with a race the great majority
Of whom have the same relation TO the
world that is borne by children. They
are here to be helped along by the
efforts of the best men of both races.
The whites of the better class have
a clear understanding of the negro
temperament and character and SYM
paihy for the race that is ineradica-
bic. or else it would have been de-
stroyed by the experience of the past
thirty years.
There is 4 lesson for the negroes in
the New York riot and in the sim
iiar ebullitiOn in Chicago. 1t is n les
son That has been learned long ago
by the better class OF negroes. those
who are going about attending 10 their
business and making a living for them
selves and families. Ii ever there was
a community where the negro has been
coddled and taught to believe he is bet
ter than the whites it is in Chicago;
and vet when a negro steals a lady's
purse the event is made the excuse for
a general beating of cOlored people by
4 bowling mob.
There is also lesson in these things
for the republican editors and poiiti-
clans. When they undertake TO sling
M southern "boFbarians" hereafter,
We ask them to remember New York.
Chicago and above all. Pana. where
negroes were massacred because they
were trying 10 earn an honest living.
