we'll earned recognition is the election
of J. O.. Davis of the public examiners
Office, as candidate for comptroller.

; document. 1t asserts: that "Bryan's
defeat will end the rebellion, that call
is pacified except few, small, scat
tered robber bands" etc., all after the
manner of the late General Otis, with
whose style the American public has
long ago acquired that familiarity
which breeds contempt: And by the
same cable comes the report of a pitched
battle between American soldiers and q
force of 1000 we'll armed Filipinos, in
which 40 American soldiers were killed
or wounded. What's the matter with
McKinley's s censor?
Of all Of England's troubles there is
not one that hurts and worries her halt
as much as the present wonderful
prosperity and commercial expansion
of Germany. In the rapid progress of
Germany and Russia England sees the
handwriting on the wall that foretells
her doom. Germany's prosperity has
been mainly in evidence during the
LAST four years. Why don't Mckinley
| claim the credit for that, too?
No wonder Mark Hanna got worked
| up over Bryan's antitrust speech
That speech hit Mark right where he
lives and he simply couldn't help but
squeal.
Isn't it amusing to see Republican
editors, writing on trust.made and
trust-priced paper, assert that there are
no trusts:
A l0-year-old daughter of Coal Miner
Tom McNeill of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company at
Shamokin, Pa, said: Eyes, sir, I
know father is going to win. Why:
Well, because he must win; because
we're so poor and they're trying to
make us poorer, SOS We shouldn't be
able to live at all. We will win be-
cause we all know that God is good"
In logic Hanna is daisy In his
trust speech at Chicago he asserted that
there are no trusts, and in the same
breath accused Senator Jones of being
a member of the cotton bale trust.
While Bryan was discussing the
colonial policy Of the government some
one asked him about North Carolina
and the race question in that state. Il
am glad you mentioned North Caro-
lina," said Mr.. Bryan. 'sNow want
You to read the Sulu treaty and having
done that, I think you will blush until
election day."
The attempt of the Republican party
to make capital out of the North Caro-.
lima election law is very thin game
That law applies to white and colored
voters alike and is essentially the same
as the one which the administration
has itself introduced in Cuba.
II would like Mr.. Bryan or anv
other Democrat to tell me what trust
is. believe there is not trust in the
United States. There is a national
law and in every state there is a law
against trusts. They cannot exist, and
every law against trusts, national or
state, has been the product Of Republic.
the Republican party" said Mark
Hanna in his speech at Chicago. Does
Mark take the people of these United
States to be idiots or gullible infants to
treat them to such buncombe? i;Mark
really wants to know what trust is,
perhaps some of the half-starved, strik.

him.
The following is an extract from q
letter received at this Office: II saw
P the other day. I was on the
Great Northern train and he got on at
Graceville, where he had just heard
Teddy try to make speech to those
awful people at Graceville. say try,
for that is all that he did there, they
actually gave him the laugh, and broke
him up to such an extent that the
speech was dismal failure, a regular
iasco. Iwould like to hear him ex-
press himself in private about what he
thought of Graceville."
II, as reported, Congressman Eddy
(Rep.) pins his faith to the support of
Canadian and English born voters, he
may get very much left. At least
French Canadians as rule are not as
much in love with their English mas.

the approval of French Canadians in
this country. In Minneapolis French

''Raw material, if bought in large
quantities, is secured at lower cost" is
one Of the arguments urged in favor of
trusts. The point is certainly good
one. When, for instance, one man
buys all the wool, the price of wool
will be lowered and all who produce
wool will be forced to sell at the price
fixed by the trust, and the same will be
true Of every other kind Of raw mate
rial. AS large proportion of our peo-
pie are engaged in producing raw ma.
terial, they are naturally very much
interested in trusts.
