Senator Scott Of West Virginia
is in line with his superior officers
in the republican host.
Mckinley apologized for trusts
in his letter of acceptance, practi-
cally promising not to molest
them.
McKinley's attorney general
made the stronges, possible defense
of trusts when. he refused to en-
force the laws.
Governor Roosevelt has invaria-
big said ten words for the trusts
to one against the abuses of mo-
nopoly.
Beveridge has been more out
spoken than Roosevelt. He told
the southern people in a special
address that they needed more
trusts in order to get rich.
Scott places the Standard Oil
company in the list of prosperity
makers and benefactors. The peo-
pie of the country know that the
Standard Oil company is one of
the most dangerous engines of op-
preston in the world. 1t fixes
the price of petroleum; but that is
only the beginning. 1t owns rail-
roads, tube works, iron works,
banks and lumber mills. The head
of the company has an income
available for personal uses larger
than that of any living monarch
with the possible exception of the
Car. The praise bestowed by Sen
ator Scott plainly shows that the
Standard Oil company comes close
to owning the United States gov
ernment.

making and lawexecuting bodies.

wants, hopeless of independent
competence, afraid to vote or talk
without orders.
The grasp of the trusts must be
broken. An administration pledg-
ed to an effective regulation of
monopoly must be elected. Sena-
tor Scott's bluntness tells observ-
ant men nothing they did not
know before about republican
magnates. But it will be timely
in convincing persons who have
not been able to see the evils of
trusts and their alliance with the
republican party.-Republic.

LUCKY AMERICAN OF KOREA.

Leigh Hunt Won All Kinds of Bets
and Surprised Fellow Passengers.
Leigh Hunt, the American mining
magnate in Korea, was the center of
interest on the steamship Empress Of
Japan on her last trip to Vancouver.
He made bets as to the wanderings Of
sea gulls, the age of passengers. the We
locity of the wind, the exact time of
day by the sun. etc, always giving
odds of 10 to / and always winning.
Before the ship reached port he en-
gagged five of the crew at large wages
to go to Korea with him. The ship
steward will hereafter receive S400 in
stead of S65 a month as at present
His most astonishing performance
was in a game of poker. Hunt bet ex-
travagantly and won everybody's mon
ey. All the players quit but Belgian.
The latter lost steadily until he owed
Hunt s.. 100. Then Hunt said:
you're only a Belgian You don't
understand our great American game
You had better stop"
But the Belgian would not stop, and
when Hunt proposed to shake dice.
double or quit. the Belgian consented.
They started at 500 a throw and dou-
bled until the Belgian owed Hunt
$1,000. The Belgian then put his head
on his arms and sobbed. saying he was
ruined. that his losses were his life
savings Hunt got the ships Bible and
said to him:
Swear to me that you viii never
play American poker again as long as
you live"
The Belgian kissed the Bible and
said. 81 swear" whereupon Hunt gave
him back notes and money amounting
to $S,212 that he had won from him.

democratic champion.
Colonel Bryan was in excellent
voice and this he used to good
effect in reducing the storm of
cheering that greeted him when
he was introduced by Michael
Shields, vice president of the
county committee. His speech
was applauded almost incessant-
ly and at it's conclusion he was
driven to the auditorium, where
he took dinner, after which he
proceeded on his tour of the
northwest side of the city,
where he made eight speeches,
all of which were to large crowds.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-William
Jennings Bryan this afternoon
began his three days itinerary
of this city, addressing a vast
concourse at Randolph street
and Michigan avenue.
The speakers stand was at
the side of the Public Libraby,
and so dense was the throng
around it that the presidential
candidate was literally dragged
to the platform by a squad OF
policemen, who acted under the
personal supervision of Mayor
Harrison, who had ridden with
Mr.. Bryan from the railway
station. Mr. Bryan was escort

Station by the Cook County
Democracy, through Dearborn

Clark, Madison, LaSalle and
Randolph streets, which were
lined with hu manity.

He said at the Public Library
concerning the trusts:

congratulate the country that

mand a remedy; we propose a

DUR1N.i the month of October
the British lost 725 men from all
causes in South Africa. Of this
number, 167 were killed in action,
Is of whom were officers, % died
of wounds and 81 were captured or
missing. All of this happened
more than a month after Roberts
issued his famous pacification
proclamation and declared the war
ended. To the outside world 724
casualties in one month in an army
looks very much like war. There
were several months during the
time of active hostilities where the
British casualty list was smaller

FULL DINNER PALS.

At Muller Hill, Mr.. Bryan
said: Republicans. instead OF
meeting the issues in an open,
fair and candid way, have gone
to each particular class or COM

make some particular appeal to
that class. To the laborine

failed here, and why? First, be

The CONGREGATION Smiled.

A certain clergyman when preaching
extemporaneously touched on the sub
Ject Of miracles. Some people, he said,
had difficulty in accepting the miracu-
lOus stories of the Bible, as, for ex-
ample, the story of the speech that
Balaam's ass made to his master.

ton the preacher hammered in his con-
tention with the remark, 'fWhy should
not God make an ass to speak-he

Not in sympathy with social conditions
