about l,5 canning factories of all kinds
in the State: that the value of these fac

operatives actually employed in the fac
tories is 1901. and probably as many
more are employed in Supplying the fac

1899 was about $l.,eo,0uU; that there was

Bryan and imperialism.

One OF the representative German
newspapers Of the country is the Gin
cinnati Volksblatt. In q recent issue it
discusses so-called imperialism, remark
ing that party exigencies have neces.
STATED some watchword to influence the
masses and Imperialism was chosen to
Offset free coinage; the facts, however,
utterly contradicted the impeachment
contained in the slogan which is 80 un-
refectingly repeated and believed"
Mr.. Mckinley, declares the Volksblatt,
lis no more of an imperialist than Mr..
Bryan. The fact Of the matter is," it
goes on TO say. that the difference be-
tween Mr.. Bryan's and Mr.. McKinley's
policy is merely q difference in words.
Mr.. Mckinley wishes to uphold the
sovereignty OF the United States oyer
the Philippines. Mr.. Bryan wishes to
uphold protectorate. This is a dis
tinction without a difference. Both
necessitate the protection Of the islands
against any aggressor by the whole mil
itary and naval force Of the United
States. But, whereas, under the sov.
ereignity of the United States we have
the assurance Of a civilized and discip-
lined government, certain to avoid col
lision with foreign countries, we should
under government Of untutored and
undisciplineI Filipines be compelled to
keep our arms in constant readiness to
protect the Filipinos against the effects
Of their follies. We should find our
selves involved in wars with foreign
countries before we were aware OF it.
The Filipinos would be the arbiters Of
the destiny of the United States" This
is sound and logical. The protectorate
which Mr.. Bryan proposes would make
the United States responsible for the
conduct of the Filipino government in
its relations with other governments and
there cannot be reasonable doubt that
this would involve us in trouble. The
Volksblatt regards it delusion to ex-
pect change in the Philippine policy
from Mr.. Bryan. 1t says: "Mr. Bryan
cannot undo the work Of Mr.. Mckinley
in the Philippines. He can only cast
doubt on the maintenance Of the gold
standard and thereby bring on CONNER
cial aud fnancia. disaster. We have
Mr.. Bryan's promise that he will do it
and this is a promise he can keep"
The German editor has the true con.
ception Of what the success OF the Bry-
ante party would mean for this coun.
try. Mr.. Bryan has said that if elected
he will call an extra session of congress
at once and propose to give up the
Philippines to their own people. If he
could induce congress to do this why
might he not also prevail upon it to re-
peal the gold standard law? And II
congress refused to approve his Philip
pine policy, which undoubtedly it would
Mr.. Bryan would be compelled to do
precisely what is now being done.

That New Train.

The Pioneer-Times says 1t ia now quite
definitely settled that the new train on
the Burlington will leave Deadwood for
eastern and southern points at 7:45 in the
morning. 1t is not so certain, we regret
to note, that the 2:30 train will continue
to run. The 7:45 train will reach Edge
mont at 1910, connecting with trains
both east and west, and will carry Dem
yer coach. The train will leave Edge
mont at about the same time as now,
returning. thus enabling postal clerks
and railroad men who make Edgemont
a division point to reside in Deadwood
and be-a home every night.

Judge Joseph B. Moore, populist nom
inee for Congress, does not appear to be
having candidatorial path to travel on
that is strewn with roses. particularly
roses without thorns. The most posi-.
tive opposition that he has comes from,
his own people, and as a consequence
the republicans are letting him alone
principally. About the only attention
that the Judge receives from the repu-
blican press, is the reprint of some
articles that emanates from populist or
democratic sources. Mr.. Kidd, chair.

in his judgment will he, defeated. Free.
man Knowles is persistently and EN-.
phatically insisting that Mr.. Moore re-.

effect, that as soon as he was nominated
to Congress he would resign his judicial
position. But the Judge up to date has
failed to resign. Perhaps he has not got
around to IL yet. Or perhaps he re
CARDS q judicial bird in his fist better than
a congressional bird on the wing, and
don't propose to release his control OF

than some of his left handed friends, for
casting his prophetic eye down the line
Of coming events, has discovered that
unless he holds on to his present posi-.
ton he will be out Of job after Nov.
enber 9Th. next. Or it may be that he
expects TO hold a judicial menace over
the heads Of his constituents and non
constituents, and gain votes thereby.
But while that may work In the
Eighth Circuit, there are seven other

No Faith In Bryan.

DR.. George L. Miller, of Omaha, for
thirty years leader Of the Democratic
forces in Nebraska, the founder of the
old Omaha Herald and for twenty four
years its editor, says of Bryan:
II know Bryan as well as anyone can
know him, for have worked with him
in his early political days and have been
in touch with his action of more recent
years. l have no faith whatever in his
sincerity, because I credit him with
more than ordinary intelligence. He
knew the fallscy ofthe free silver pro-
position when he first thrust it upon the
party in this state, but he insisted upon
making it a political issue, for, with PAN
ther like quickness, he realized that it
could be readily employed to delude q
people who at that time were suffering q
universal business depression.
'The primary objection to Bryan is
his continuous assault upon the establish.
ed institutions of his country, his unrem-
tied attacks upon our citizens who
happen to own something, his opposition
to the rights ofour courts and his implied
carelessness as to the preservation Of law
and order. He is forever appealing to
class prejudice and endsavoring to ar
ray one portion of our people against
another. He panders to the desires Of
the envious, unscrupulous and irres-
ponsible members Of society. and for
that reason alone / consider him
dangerous man to place at the head of
our government.
II regard Bryan as socialistic revolu-
ZIONIST, tinged with religious fanaticism.
On the money question Bryan breaches
a false doctorine; on the the rights of
life and property he molds his speech in
anarchistic form; on the Philippine pro-
blem he promises nothing different from
the course now being pursued by the
administration, but attempts to catch
votes by the groundless cry Of imperial.

The Yankton Herald. known as In

The Yankton Herald, known as the
oldest Democratic paper in the state, has
been studying the fusion ticket, and
reaches the following conclusions: Come
to think of it, there is good deal of a
semblance to plutocracy in the make up
Of the fusion ticket. Judge Moore may
not be overburdened with wealth, but
Burre Lien and Governor Lee and our
own Abe Van Osdel, If report is cor.
rect, are seldom troubled to find dollar
to rub against another. Take it as a
q whole, We believe the fusion nominees
could probably buy the other fellows out
with the loose change they carry around
in their pockets.
