EVEN THE SUN SEES 1T.

The New York Sun Is beginning TO

q desire to be on the winning side and
because of a lack of stability, owing
to the demise of Charles A. Dana. 1t

that they are not safe in their notion
that success Is certain. After getting
long distance glass-for the publica-
ton has not succeeded in getting into
the innermost circle-the Sun focused
the wall sufficiently to read the hand
writing there written and sends up the
following cry of alarm:
"On July II 1t was to on Mckinley.
Since then these odds have declined
gradually, but day before yesterday
they were at the enormous dispropor-
tion Of 2h to 1. Such overweening con-
fidence Of success on one side Is not
justified. 1t is foolishness for what Is
called the Short end" for the reason
that 1t spreads the already too pervad-
ing sense of surety which today
threatens to paralyze the Republican
vote. The national odds on Mckinley
are no more than to or less, say 10

ANOTHER ADVANCE IN SIGHT.

A Philadelphia dispatch to what Is
touted to be we'll informed paper.
devoted to financial and commercial in
terests, says that a new and formidable
competitor to the sugar trust, at least
so far as the raw product Is concerned,
will enter the field. The new concern
is the United Fruit company, Of Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New
Orleans and New York. 1t is said that
the company has assurance from the
antitrust refiners, such as theDoschers
and Arbuckles, that a market for its
products will be found. But, IL the new
concern is in earnest, it reckons with
out it's host. 1t forgets that it will not
only have to fight the sugar trust but
all of the power that the federal
government can bring to bear. The
Havemeyers are too potent in influence
and too liberal in contributing to be
allowed to become confused by this
new concern. The so-called antitrust
refiners have accomplished little or
nothing except to engender the sus-
picion that they are not seriously anti
trust. The price of sugar has gone up
and the profits to the sugar trust are
more than $4,000, 900 a year on the latest
advance. Is 1t to be contended that
some benefit did not accrue to anti
trust" refiners when the advance took
place? Wasn't it, after all, only the
little fellows who were squeezed out,
that the profit might accrue to the
strong? And what is the United Fruit
company, of Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New Orleans, New York and
probably a lot Of other towns, but
trust? The pair will get to fighting on
the surface, probably, and then conf
promise by putting up the price to con-
sumers. The people are not quite pre-
pared to have the wool pulled over their
eyes with every new announcement
from the probable agents of allied in
terests. Let us see the little fellow get
a chance. When he gets a chance the
public Is bound to get some benefit
from the competition, for he is satisfied
with a small profit and believes that
he ought not to live unless he lets some
one else live. And that is good Demo-
cratic doctrine.

There was immense encouragement
in the meeting of the Bryan and Ste
venson club at the city hall Friday
night. The right spirit prevailed and
the success Of the organization is as
sured. These clubs are essential to
campaign work and accomplish great
amount of good. They are being formed
in all parts of the country. Colonel
Bryan suggested the advisability Of as
many clubs as can be organized. With
the Jefferson club there are now three
first class clubs in Canton. The Second
ward club is destined to do It's part
and with the Bryan and Stevenson club
SO well organized and officered things

but they are going to vote right. 1t is
difficult for many to disengage them
selves from former political affiliations,
but the secret ballot shows them the
way to vote for the preservation of the
republic and they expect to do it. 1t is
unfortunate that they do not see their
way to come out openly and support
Bryan and Stevenson and do effective
work In the open, but many patriots
this year will just quietly vote. And it
may b. said that the converts are all
for the Democratic ticket. The changes
the other way are few and far between.
1t remains only for Democrats to do
their duty and the victory is won.

NEW COMMANDER. CHIEF.
Maj. Rassieur Has an Excellent
War neutrality-suspicious.
Commander of Missouri.

Maj. Rassieur, the new commander
in-chief Of the G.. A. r., was born In
Germany in 1874. He came to this coun-
try in 1851 with his parents, who settled
in st. Louis. He was educated in the
public schools, and attended the high
school. He did not complete the high
school course, however, and at the age
Of 16 years took position in law Of
fee. He was thus engaged at the
breaking out of the civil war in the
spring of 1861. When not quite II years
old, he was selected by the loyal Ger
mans of South st. Louis for the pur-
pose Of deciding whether the citizens
Of the locality should express their in
tention Of standing by the union or re-
naming neutral. At the call of young
Rassieur, who had been ruled out Of
order by the chairman Of the meeting
the loyal men In attendance repaired
to another place and adopted a set of
resolutions In favor OF the union. which
has become historic in the annals of
Missouri. Rassieur enlisted In the
.-irst United States reserve corps, vol
unteers, May Z. 1861, and was made an
orderly sergeant. He was mustered out
Of service August 20, 1865, with the rank
of major, which commission he receiv-
ed at the age Of 20 years. At the close
of the war he studied law, and was
admitted to the bar In st. Louis on
April !. 1857 He practiced law In St.
Louis until 1894, when he was elected
Judge of the St. Louis probate court on
the Republican ticket. At the expira-
tion of his term in 1898, he resumed the
practice of law In which he Is still en-
gagged. From 1874 until 1878 he was a
member Of the board Of directors OF the
public schools Of st. Louis, holding the
office of vice president during the last
year of his incumbency. He Is COM
mander of Frank p. Blair Post No. 1,
@. A. r., st. Louis. He was Judge ad-
vocate general Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic In 1898. and department
commander Of Missouri In 1891.

WORKING THE OLD SOLDIER.

One Of the strings that Chairman
Charles Dick expects to pull in Ohio
this fall has the Union veterans at
tached to it. Dick seems to think all
he has to do Is to get the address of
all the soldiers in the state and then
pull the wires and they will get into
the network of his alleged blandisn-
ments at once. Dick sees that the sled
ding in the presidents home state is
likely to be quite rough and he feels
that everything possible will have to be
done, so he applied to Ohios pension
agent, Mr.. Joseph w. Jones, and asked
that he supply him with the complete
roster of the soldiers in the state. The
pension agent Informed him that the
roster came under civil service rules,
was not intended as means of politi-
cal advantage for any party and declin-
ed, at first, to give them up. Foolish
man! He only worked his own hu-
initiation. Dick departed but came
back little later with a demand for
the roster, backed up by Mckinley and
Hanna, or such representation that the
agent was given to understand that he
was seriously offending IL he did not
comply. So he forked over. There

The soldiers will be deluged with cam
paign literature of all sorts. laudation
of the president being the leading fea-
ture, supplemented with a lot of rot
about manifest destiny" and other re-
lies of the barbarous days when "in-
FAINT damnation" was one of the roads to
heaven. The soldiers are to be
worked" If it is possible, and Chair
man Dick pays them the compliment
to think they are easy enough to bite.
But maybe they are not. Maybe they
fought for the freedom Of the black
man and will not relish the slavery of
the brown man by the country they
sacrificed SO much to save. A great
many of them see the folly of the
course of the present administration
and are preparing to set the seal Of
their condemnation upon it. Dick will
find that all of the old soldiers are not
chumps, whatever he and Hanna and
the other bosses may think about 1t.
Aside from the insult to the soldiers
that Is manifest in the work that is be-
ing done, the civil service rules are
being broken by the pension agent
when he gives the list out. He said
so himself when first approached by
Dick. Yet he was dealing with an ad-
ministration that took out of the civil
service list thousands of officers dur
ing the heat of the Hanna senatorial
campaign to be jobbed out for votes for
the king-maker. So he knew that re-
sista nee WAS not compatible with the re-
tention of his position, and thinking
more Of his Job than any principle at
tached to the trust he had sworn to
discharge faithfully, he turned the
books over to. the copyists. And now
