EXTENT OF THE STORM.

Texas has been visited by a general
storm. Cloudbursts are reported from
every section of the state The rivers
are full and rising. Farms are inun-
dated, and houses are being washed
away. Towns are submerged and many
lives are reported lost. The destruc-
ton Of property viii reach into the
millions.
This is a part of the storm which has
given hope and promise to the farmers
Of Utah. which has covered the noun
tain ranges with verdure and brought
out the foliage upon the backward
trees in the southern part of the state.
It is the storm which has flooded the
middle west and made raging torrents
of the streams of the northwest. 1t
has made a paradise of some localities
and laid waste to others. 1t has
brought prosperity to one and ruin to
another.
Those who enjoy the blessings should
not forget those in distress. There will
be want for the more fortunate to re-
lieve. And awakened compassion will
do what is possible and needed to re-
lieve the suffering. But the havoc
wrought in many places is wholly be-
yond remedy.

ON NATIONAL ETHICS.

Every American interested In the
welfare Of the nation ought to read
the May number Of the Atlantic
Monthly. Aside from its usual varied
and high-class contributions ON liter
airy and historical subjects, 1T has one
article, Nations and Decalogue," by
H. D. Sedgwick, jr., that has not been
excelled in ability and trenchant clear
ness by any public discussion in recent
American literature
Mr. Ssdgwick takes the ground that
every rule of ethics governing indi-
viduals should apply TO national af-
fairs; that observance Of the ten com
mandments is just as applicable to a
man in congress as it is to the same
man in his private life; that nations
have suffered as certainly from dis
regard Of the moral law as individuals
have.
Reviewing recent international af-
fairs, and especially our own relations
with the Philippines and Britain's with
the Beers, he recalls the rules of
craftsmanship that were recognized in
Machiavelli's time and quotes from the
code that philosopher formulated for
rulers. The quotation is so apt, il ap-
plies so well TO our own position, that
it is worth reprinting:
How worthy it is in a ruler to keen
faith, to practice fair dealing. and not
cunning, everybody agrees. Nevertheless
experience in these DAYS teaches us that

faith. OF this 1 could give numberiess ex-
amples in our own times, and show how
many treaties, how many promises, have
been made naught by the faithlessness OF
rulers; and he who best has played the
fox has prospered best. But il IS neces-
sary TO know well how to conceal this
nature. and to be a great deceiver and

POETIC FACTS AND FANCIES.

One Of the highest qualities of fiction
is fidelity to truth. especially when the
author is creating situations SO wonder
full as to appear incredible. But there
is some doubt as TO whether this stand
ard meets the requirements of poetry,
much Of which is Stranger than either
fact or fiction.
Poetic fancy links causes and effects
together in a golden chain" says W. D.
Howells. But when prosy facts con-
meet them the chain is iron. In poetry

the hum drum of real existence What
would a poet be who confined himself
to matters of fact?
Then what Is the difference whether
Stonewan Jackson was defied by
Barbara Fritchie or not? What if Jack
son was sick and riding in an arnbu-
lance as the rebel horde on that bright
September morn passed through Fred
erick town, as General Henry K. Doug
las Of Ja'ckson's staff now declares that
he was? Wlrat if the troops did not
march past the Fritchie homestead at
all? What II Whittier's poem is all a
myth? It is none the less beautiful for
that. It teaches patriotism just the
same. The lesson is there if the facts
are wanting.
From the earliest rhapsody of the
primitive poet to the latest product of
the present spring, the effort of the
songster has been to rise and lift those
about him from the nonotorous plain
Of what really Is. as we see it and know
it, 10 the higher realms of what ought
to be, to make the most lasting impress
sion and accomplish the most good.
This is the poets mission. He is here
to lead the revolt against the ordinary,
to aid humanity to escape from the
hard and cold realities of the unsatis-
factory present into the sacred graves
of the fading past or the mystic castles
Of the golden future where every tramp
shall be knight and every red-faced
serving maid a queen.

THEY PRESS FOR SETTLEMENT.

Just why imperialist newspapers
should worry themselves into a state
of exhaustion as to the order or the
relative importance Of issues now be-
fore the people is by no means clear.
Silver is a paramount issue: that of
imperialism is being pressed by the ad-
ministration for immediate settlement.
while trusts are aggressively pushing
themselves TO the front as an issue in
the coming campaign.
The same influences are behind all
three OF these evils, and Anericanism
is opposed to them all Bryan states
this fact very forcibly in ths following
telegram to the San Francisco Exam
iner:

BENEFITS OF TRUSTS.

Andrew Carnegie has an essay in
the May Century on Popular Illusions
About Trusts in which he says these
great aggregations of capital are a
benefit to the poor as well as the rich
No one will question Mr. Carnegie's
right to speak for the trusts. Next to
John D. Rockefeller of the Standard
Oil, he has shown NEST effectively how
monopoly can be made profitable.
There are several people in this
country, however, VINO could give the
steel magnate information on the sub
ject from a consumers standpoint. For
instance, there are some mine owners
and smelter employees in Utah who
fail to see how the trust business has
been a blessing to them Then the
farmers of the United States are
yearning for some one to tell them how
the monopolies have been of benefit to
agriculturists. Forty-cent wheat is
the only answer, REINFORCED by an
advance in trust wagons, trust fencing
wire, trust paint. window glass. nails.
Irvine and everything else they have
20 buy.
Competition in all departments Of
human activity is not to be sup
pressed" says Mr.. Carnegie. Isn't it
though? Who competes with Carnegie
in blow-hole armor? Who can COM
pete with Rockefeller in oil? Who at.
tempts to fight the nail trust or the
glass trust, or the leather trust or the
paper trust? The commercial world is
filed with business graves dug by the
trusts; fifty thousand commercial trav-
elers thrown out of. employment. many
of them dependent, testify to the
falsity of Mr.. Carnegie's assumption.
Twelve thousand idle employees Of the
Steel and Wire trust offer a mute
though bitter protest against the
benefits" Of the trust system.
Mr.. Carnegie may be a good Judge
of steel but he has been rich SO Ions
he has escaped the practical workings
Of monopoly. The man who gets $40
month and has to pay for Chicago
trust meat, Standard Oil light and
leather trust shoes ia a better Judge
Of the system. He doesn't write much
for the Century Magazine but he will
put a literary contribution in the bal
lot box next November that viii record
what he thinks of trusts. And It will
not agree with Mr.. Carnegie's con-
illusions.

If the great Italian had had a vision

trait with more clearness. And be-

Mr.. Sedgwick is not pessimist. He
believes with most good citizens that
the republic will yet do justice within
and without its boundaries. But he
thinks this viii only be done when the
rulers of the nation come to a recog-
milton Of the fact that the Decalogue
still holds good as rule OF conduct in
both public and private life.

EXPANSION IN IRRIGATION.

TERRITORIAL expansion is Democrat

tional expansion. The subjugation and
government If subject people outside
OF the constitution" as President Nc
Kinley says he proposes TO govern the
Porto Ricans and Filipincs. is imperial
ism.
This nation has been expanding for
a century, but the settler has always
led the van, and the flag and the con-
stitution followed together. Expansion
has been & necessity on this continent,
for it has settled many a border dispute
that otherwise might have resulted in
war; it has crowded European powers
out of this hemisphere by degrees and
has served to remove the republic
farther and farther from European pol

pansion, therefore, has been that Of isO-
lation.
1t covers a vast area between the two
oceans in which are millions Of acres
awaiting the growth of the nations
population There are hundreds of thou
SANDS of square miles of fertile coil
awaiting the attention of the federal
government. whose obligation to re-
claim and settle it is greater than any
obligation it owes the Malays of Ocean
lea.
THESE are matters inperialists seem
to overlook. They invariably ignore
our OWL land to improve conditions
elsewhere. They spurn the conquest Of
irrigation and peace, for {. conquest of
sacrifice and war. They neglect the
area already conquered and go forth
to conquer another. They seem TO for
get that charity, reclamation and re-
form should begin at home.
