Another Power for Bryan.

Ex-Congressman Tom L. johnson, of Ohio,
a retired millionaire iron manufacturer, is
coming home from Europe to help elect
Bryan. After reading Bryan's speech Of ac-
ceptance, Mr.. johnson said it was unanswer-
able and he would return home at once.
Mr.. johnson said he would go on the stump
for Bryan as soon as he reached Ohio. The
greater part of the campaign he would spend
in the Presidents own State. From the day
he lands in New York until election he will
devote all bis energies to defeating Mckinley.
"One of the dangers of the campaign, said
Mr. Johnson, sis that young men may be
carried off their feet by the picture of our army
and navy carrying the flag around the world.
We are somewhat militant people; that is
not to be denied We take pride in our mil
tary prowess Imperialism appeals to the
patriotism of Young America, but let the
Young men of the nation see into the future,
let them see the dark side of imperialism, and

Come Out of China.

cause the emergency called for instant action, and
the troops were not sent against China a nation,
but TO suppress mob that had temporarily deprived
the Imperial Government of the power to protect
foreigners Without express authority from Con-
gress the President should go no further; in fact
he should use as much diligence in getting all
Americans civil and military. out of China as he
exhibited in providing for the reliefof I'ekin. They

very great War with China is the least of the
possible evils that may result from the maintenance
of large force in China acting in concert with the
European nations and with Japan. The allies are
very likely to quarrel among themselves, and If
they should the Americans will be drawn into the
disagreement as friends of one the other of the
disputants We cannot afford to risk any such en-
tanglement. We may need further information
about the present conditions of affairs, about the
attitude of the Chinese Government and about the
authority of Ii Hung Chang TO treat for peace be-
fore engaging in negotiations; but we do not need
any more information before ordering the with
drawal of our troops from Pekin soon they can
safely depart for Tien-Tsin, as escort to the
Americans who have been rescued.
Ifany further action is to be taken, it should be
done by authority of Congress. There is now no
emergency requiring the President alone TO act in
the matter.

Home VS.. Foreign Labor.

Annexation Of the Philippine Islands and
their 10000, 900 inhabitants as part of the
United States will be opposed by the laboring
men of the country as q unit. The mayor of
San francisco says on this subject:
Labor on the Pacific coast is becoming
thoroughly alarmed at the threatened influx
from the orient. Japanese, Chinese and
Malays, it is feared, will prove a menace TO
American labor, and but short time ago the
Japanese coolies in the mines throughout the
state were expelled from the workings, so
great was the feeling.
~ believe that the Democracy will carry
California this year. The strength of the two
parties is about equally divided so far as the
ordinary issues are concerned, but this ques-
ton OF labor is going to prove of vast adyan-
tage on Nov. 6, and the Republican ticket is
not going to be benefited"
The Republicans can not win with plat
form which promises to import the rice and
rat eaters of the east, who work for two cents
per day, into the United States to compete with
home workmen. Neither do our people relish
the idea of having their laws made by con-
gressmen from Hawaii or Luzon. We will
learn what Imperialism means before this cam
paign is over.

Goldsborough and McComas.

Last week Chairman Goldsborough of the
Republican State Central Committee gave
out an interview in which he claimed a walk
over for Mckinley in Maryland and did not
concede even the first congressional district
to the Democrats.
This week ii is said Senator McComas was
hurried home from Europe 10 infuse life and
interest in the Republican party.
If Mckinley is sure TO have walkover in
Maryland, as Mr.. Goldsborough claims, il is
useless for Senator MeComas TO expend his
talents and wisdom in the campaign here.
He might he taken To Indiana, Illinois or
Wisconsin. where the walking for Mckinley
is not so good.
After all, perhaps Chairman GoldSborougb
was simply talking to keep up his courage,
and Senator McComas is really needed to in
fuse life into the party of imperialism and
trusts.

Attempt to Lynch Negro in Ohio.

At Akron, Ohio, ON Wednesday, Louis
Peck, "a negro, attempted an assault on
Christina Mas, aged 6 years. Upon being
arrested he confessed and he was placed in
the city Jail.
At night when it became known he had
confessed a mob gathered at the Jail aud de-
manded from the Sheriff his delivery 10 them.
The Sheriff stated that the man had been re-
moved out of the city, but the crowd did not
believe him and at once began to make an
assault upon the Jail. Some one fired shot
at the prison. Other shots followed and for
a few minutes there were terrible scenes.
Two persons are dead from bullets and sew
eral are badly wounded, at least one of the
latter fatally.
Al a late hour Peck aud another negro were
removed to Cleveland.
On Wednesday night there riot, in
which pistols, stones, &c, were used, result
ing in the wounding of21 persons, some fatally,
aud the destruction of over 5000, 900 worth of
property, including the city hall. The town
is now under military guard.
1t is a horrible crime to lynch an assauller
in the South, but north of the Ohio river it is
all right, and the great sticklers for jury trial
in the South do not think the law ought to be
allowed 10 take its course in the North, and
insist on summary punishment.

Trusts.

When the Trusts are assailed, the Imperial
lists Immediately speak of the Ice Trust. The
Ice Trust is local concern which affects
New York city alone, and some of the stock
holders affiliate with the Democratic party.
Ice is not an essential, for more than half Of
the people do not use it, and as its operations
are in New York city, the Republican apollo
gists of trusts are badly off for campaign ma
terial when they can only refer to a little local
affair, not dealing in necessity, in which some
Democrats are stockholders.
Since the passage of the Dingley Tariff act
not less than six hundred industrial Trusts to
control production, prices and wages of labor
have been organized, and the work of creating
these monopolies is still going on. The Re-
publican platform makes profession of great
hostility to the Trusts; yet it declares for the
Dingley tariff, which serves merely TO she liter
the Trusts while they prey upon the masses Of
American consumers.

Who, IL WAS announced that Mark Hanna,
McKinley's boss, would go upon the stump
the Philadelphia Ledger, a leading Repubi-
can paper, in a vigorous article advised against
II II said Mr.. Hanna should not take too
conspicuous place in the campaign, as he
,xas n defender of Trusts and otherwise dis
tasteful to many people, and his appearance
on the stump would lose votes for Mckinney.
The advice was not needed, and Hanna made
a speech at a Republican meeting at Asbury
Park, New Jersey, on Tuesday. Like Roose-
yelt Hanna put his foot in it. He Is u shrewd
manager and schemer, but not a safe speaker
for his party He did not defend Trusts, but
he said the Democratic party was composed
of every shade, every nihilist and every
crank" And this remark was very pleasing
TO his hearers. but il will return to plague him
and his candidate.
Roosevelt said Democrats represented DIS
honor at home and cowardice abroad. That
characterization OF party comprising eight
millions of yoters-a large majority of the
white voters-and including many OF the
ablest and most patriotic statemen, ministers,
educators, manufacturers and business uen
as well as the best bone and sinew, caused ia
dignation and aroused contempt for the Re
publican nominee for Yice-President. So
much so, Col Roosevelt undertook 10 explain
it away, but only made it worse.
Mr.. Hanna, the supreme director of the
Mckinley party, will find his Characterization
of the Democratic party will not benefit his
candidate. And he will find, too, that thous-
ands of Republicans will not sanction the
abuse of one halfof their fellow citizens. A
man who believes that more than half OF the
white voters of the country stand for dishonor
and cowardiee is not fit man for the office of
President. Holding such AN opinion,
should be become President, he could not
deal fairly and justly with them. And man
who believes that all of the cranks and nihi-
lists are in the Democratic party, is not safe
adviser of the President and his Cabinet. No
man is safe in power who regards the people
of his own party all truly good and the oppo-
siiion all truly bad, and he who expresses such
sentiments will injure himself more than he
will the opposition.
Mr.. Hanna's first effort upon the stump
amply proves the wisdom Of the Ledger's adj
vice.

A Great Discovery.

The learned editor of the Frederick Exam
liner has discovered that Mr.. Bryan is not
eligible to the Presidency, by reason ofhaving
promised the Flipinos liberty and self-gov-
eminent, in the event of his election. This
promise, the learned editor believes. gives
aid and comfort to enemies of the United
States, and that is where treason and ineligi-
biity to the Presidency come in. This is a
great discovery, and it is little singular that
no great daily had thought of it. The Ex-
aminer is certainly entitled to be placed first
among the Republican papers of the country.

Profits of Trustism.
From the st. Louis Republic.

In The showing of dividends paid to its
stockholders by the Standard Oil Company
since it gained monopolistic control of the oil
product and market in this country there is
found amph. proof of the excessive profits

people.
The Standard Oil Company has already paid
out in dividends the total amount of its capt.
talization several times over. 1t has Just de-
clared an per cent. dividend, amounting TO
total of S., OOO, 900. 1t has thus far this year
declared dividends reaching an aggregate Of
SO per cent, or more than one-third of its
capital stock. 1t pays more annually in divi
bends than all the national banks in the
United States.
1t is little wonder that the American trusts
are glad TO contribute vast sums to keep in
power in the Government the political party
which protects aud strengthens their monopo-
lies at the expense OF the people. 1t is little
wonder that the people are wearying of the
gigantic tribute which they are compelled to
pay TO the trusts. What would be wonderful,
indeed, however, will be failure of the peo-
pie at the polls next November to take steps
to correct this evil Of trustism by removing
from power the party Of the trusts.
