TRUST GREED.

The rapidity with which the trusts
are strengthening themselves and alb
sorbing the wealth OF the country will
soon place them beyond the reach OF
the people. They now add hundreds
of millions to their wealth every day.
and make presidents, for none can
doubt, in spite Of McKinley's mild dis
approval OF the trusts in his message,
that Mr.. hanna. who made him presi-
dent. is the agent of the trusts and
put Mckinley in the White House be-
cause he thinks he can use him there.
The trusts are rapidly strengthening
their grip on the money power OF the
government. and. as they very recently
have shown, can now cause paRics
that will crush their enemies and
sweep out of existence all who dare
oppose them They are a hundredfold
more powerful than they were two
years ago. and a hundredfold more
grasping. arbitrary and tyrannical. II
will be no easy matter for the people
to crush them now. II will be well
nigh impossible to do so by the ordi-
nary prCsess Of Law two or three years
hence. New Orleans Times-Demo-

JOHN HAY.

Secretary OF State Hay is a misit.
There is nothing OF the American

he came from Pike county in this state.
He is ashamed Of the fact that he ever

nothing on the earth. in the earth o.

ception OF what Americanisrn is than
does the sultan of Sulu. He never
hustled at the polls. never carried a
torch. never participated in an cleo
ton row. He never did anything, in
fact. TO bring him in contact with the
people and never examined the springs
that move men. His political ideas

ROBERT BURNS DAY.

Robert Burns died 1o4 years ago.
and yet people are still keeping his
birthday as one OF the great feasts Of
The year. There Is no other poet who
Is so remembered. On Its face. this
Immortality OF Robert Burns in the
popular heart Is a strange thing. There
have been other poets far greater than
he, though he is, OF course, une of the
foremost representatives OF English
literature. He was neither a warrior
nor a statesman. He had no influence.

DEMOCRATIC PHILIPPINE

II has often been asked. What is
the policy Of the Democratic party on
the Philippine question:" IL ought not
to be difficult to discover that policy.
for il has been stated again and again
by the Democratic leaders in congress
and elsewhere The Cairo Argus says
the sentiment Of the Democrats In con-
gress Is shown in the fewest words and
in the elearest language in the resolu-
ton ouereu by Congressman NcRae
of Arkansas. and which reads as fol-
lows: de IL resolved. etc. that the
Uniteo States HEREBY declare that their

TIE CARTER CASE AGAIN.

The United States Court Of Appeals
Of New York has just refused TO in
terfere in the Carter case, and dis
missed the petition for a writ OF babe
as corpus. This ought to end the ef-
fort to save Carter from punishment
for the crimes OF which he has been
found guilty by military tribunal. The
court holds that the court-martial had
jurisdiction, and decides that lit is
not the Office OF n writ of habeas cor
pus to perform the functions OF a writ
OF error in reviewing the judgment Of
q court-martial" Capt. Carter has al
ready paid the fine imposed upon him.
Now he will have 20 submit to an
Imprisonment OF six years, unless. in
deed. some other scheme can be 6e-
vised for thwarting justice.

USELESS CONDEMN. NON.

II is useless and absurd for the Chi
cago Tribune or any other Mckinley
organ to cast any blame upon or i'm
pute any wrongdolng to the acts OF
Secretary Gage In turning over the
contents OF the United States treasury
to a pet bank. The whole and con-
slant aim of the Republican press has
been to bring about Just such a condi-
ton Of AFFAIRS. and now that it has
been accomplished they feel aggrieved.
not because IL is wrong and deiiber-
ate ENHANCEMENT OF the peoples
money, but because it furnishes the
Democratic party with campaign am
munition.
There was a disposition in many
quarters to let the curtain fall upon
the acts OF the treasury department
with reference to the recent stock pan
ic in Wall street. and to draw the man
tie OF charity around Secretary Cages
official measures with reference there
TO. Whatever opinion the people may
have had as to the wisdom OF those
measures it was admitted by candid
men that Mr.. Gage had been actuated
by unselfish motives That opinion
remains unchanged. Mr.. Cages per-
sonal and Official integrity in private
or public acts cannot be assailed sue
cessfully among the people who know
him.
1t must be said. however. that In
responding to the Democratic resolu-
ton calling for information in regard
to the relations Of the treasury depart
ment to the Standard Oil bank. he has
put some ugly weapons in the hands OF
his enemies
In other words. Mr.. Gage is a good
man. but gave up too much TO the en-
emies of the administration when he
told the truth" We do not believe that
Mr.. Gage is q common hold-up.Or even
a magnificent train robber. but nobody
can be made to believe that he was
suffering from "unsophisticated guile
lessness." as the Tribune puts it. We
have too much faith in Mr. McKiRey's
sense to put a confirmed idiot
in the treasury department

REPUBLICAN, OBJECTS.

The average American citizen is,
when he contempla;es the plans of the
republican administration. astounded
at the innovations il proposes TO make
in our system OF government and can
hardly believe that President McKii-
ley is in earnest in the policy which
he openly advocates or secretly inaug-
urates. He proposes the following:
First-A large standing army.
Second-An alliance with Great Brit
ain.
Thir6-The encouragement OF trusts.
Fourth-The abolition of all money
but gold and national bank notes.
Fifth-The holding in subjugation
by military force a foreign nation
whose people desire their freedom.
Sixth-The abandonment OF the
Monroe doctrine.
Seyenth-The sanction OF slavery
and polygany in the Philippines.
Eighth-The payment of the nation
al debt in gold in spite Of the contract
on the face of the bonds.
Ninth-The aiding of England in her
efforts TO make the Transvaal an Eng
lish dependency.
Tenth-The controlling OF local
elections by use of the military.
All these objects on the part of the
administration are either openly de-
clared or are being quietly pushed for
ward. and cannot be denied Il seems
hardly worth while to mention that
they are all contrary to the spirit OF
the constitution and to the TEACHINGS
Of the fathers They are not in har-
mony with a republican form OF gov
eminent and are in opposition to fair

All Of the Republican organs take
special delight In misquoting and mis-
interpreting the language used by
Democratic leaders on every occasion.
AS We move along further in the cam
paign, there will be enough scripture
misquoted and falsehoods uttered un-
der the gulse of truth, to deceive even
the elect Mr.. Bryan is a man who has
been more misquoted and deliberately
lied about than any other man in the
country. The fact that nothing can be
urged against him, either as a states
man or a man ought to be conclusive
evidence in his favor. Referring to
this matter the Buffalo Evening Times
says:
Some of the Republican papers are
seizing upon Mr.. Bryan's latest utter
ance declaring that he is for a certain
kind Of expansion. an expansion that
has no elements OF imperialism. as an
indication that he is hedging" so TO
speak, on this issue.
There Is nothing new in what Mr..
Bryan has recently said. He has de-
clared himself in the same way upon
many occasions before. He is perfect
ly consistent in the matter. He never
was an anti-expansionist in any prop
er sense OF the word. But he always
has been and always will be an anti
imperialist. And IL is where expansion
takes on the form OF Imperialism that
he draws the line"

GOEBEL DEAD.

William Goebel, the Democratic
Governor-elect of Kentucky, who was
sho. Gown by an unknown assassin
Tuesday Of last week, died Saturday
night at 40 O'Clock.
The country is familiar with the
contest for his Seat as Governor OF Ken
tucky against the Republican Taylor
who was declared Governor of the State
The Kentucky Legislature was in ses
sion at the time Of the shooting OF
Goebel and shortly afterwards the con-
test WAS decided in Goebel's favor. Ly
Ing on his death couch the oath OF CT
fee was administered 10 him, and he
was recognized by the Democrats as
Governor OF Kentucky.
The end came Saturday night. The
assassin's bullet had done rs work. A
blacker crime has not besm;rehed the
record of any political party in the Lis
tory of this nation.
