Under the leadership Of reunited

ance of the American people to the
ominous encroachments upon popular
rights made by the unduly privileged
trust monopolies will be continued with
increased vigor and a certain confidence

the combines. 1t remains for the dem

itself in effective shape for the per-

threatens all legitimate enterprise the
trusts must be fought to fnish.-St

This country has destroyed the mer-
chant marine by its tariff laws and its
registry laws. and.the present Subsidy
bilD proposition. in all its forms, is that
the American people should pay m2n
for having ships built in this country
and for sailing them under the Ame.i-
can flag. There is no pretense Of any
benefit in II except TO the people who
build the ships and those who own
them. II will not benefit those who pay
the freight, but merely change the per-
sons who receive the freight. And for
this blessing the country Is called upon
TO pay s9.OOo,0Oo year for starter.

ut Ia fortunate for the party n
power" said President Mckinley, II
his late speech at Philadelphia, III IL
understands the true meaning OF the
result OF the elections"
Indications are that the party II
power, II the utterances of its party
organs are an index, have entirely
misapprehe nded the true meaning.
Republican party organs as a unit
are placing upon the November cleo
tons constructions which are entirely
unwarranted by the results. They in
fer that the elections have put an end
to the issues OF Imperialism and mili-
tarism; that the American people are
pleased with the Philippine war and
eager that il be prosecuted TO the
conquest Of those islands by . resort
to the most violent measures.
They claim that the Hamiltonian
tendencies of the Mckinley admins
tration have been approved and that
the American people see attractions
in an English governmental system
such as Hamilton favored; that the
American people are in favor of grab
bling territory wherever a shadow OF
an excuse to warrant such seizure
stands out. Some have even gone SO
far as to assert that the American
people favor trusts.
| None OF these inferences are war
ranted. The results of the election
show rather that those who lead the
thought of the American people are

1t may be said without any slight
Of the population Of the country dis
tricts Of the nation that the cities
lead in public movements, not because
Of greater mental power. but because
of greater proximity to the sources OF
information. In the cities, with re-
markable uniformity. the republicans
sustained great losses. In Boston
and New York republican majorities
iorities. and in all the big cities a SIM
liar falling off in the republican vote
was apparent.
The just inference is that those
who voted on the immediate issues in
the last campaign voted against Nc
Kinley.
Moreover, the republican party or
gans during the campaign did not de-
bate or defend imperialism, militarism
and trusts. Their labors were con-
fined to an agitation of the prosperity
which they declare had characterized
the administration of William McKin-
ley and to denunciation OF the demo-
cratic candidate for his policies in
1896 and of the men who, they
charged, would form his cabinet
should he be elected. They made and
won on other issues than those put
forth as paramount in the democratic
platform.
Having carried the nation on the
issues they made, the American people
will hold them to those issues. They
cannot. after the election. make para
mount those issues which. before the
election. they ignored or denounced
as specters and bugaboos. The recent
policies Of Mckinley, his Philippine
war. his increased standing army, his
British Nicaragua canal, his Hamil
tonianism do not stand approved

A BLOW Struck

Aside from the interest which hui |

regretable friction atthe Seaman meet
ing last week is of interest. Mr.. |
Seaman had Just touched upon the
sublime consistency of the Democratic |
party in weeping over the hard condi- |
tions of the Filipinos being governed
without their consent and at the same
time DISTINGUISHING the negroes of the
Carolinas. He made his point very
clear, and it is a tender one with the
Democrats generally Sam Perkins,
who was in the crowd, spoke up and
said that the 'niggers" should not be
allowed to vote because, forsooth, they
arel "niggers.n The interrupted speaker
patiently listened to this brainy and
original argument" and w. ID.
Ross, a workman in the crowd resented
it, however, and was called liar by
Mr.. Perkins. Ross invited Perkins to
"a quiet nook where their little argu-
ment might not disturb the others and
when Perkins refused to go, struckhim
with his fist and knocked him down.
LET Democratic have his way
was the brief allusion the speaker
made to the affair, land he is sure to
get himself into trouble.

says "all men are created free auC

German buyers, in tlru, sold il in Eng

Of going TO England and selling the
lampblack direct, which appeared 70

to say to the English firms;
Instead of buying my lampblack
through Germany and paying for I'M
necessary transportation, TO say moth

send you the product direct. You can
then buy even cheaper than the Ger

Really, Mr., Smith, our house has al

been in existence 2c0 years, and we can
see no reason for changing satisfactory

Poor Mr. Smith got this reply on al

do wear the most extraordinary

ing their best to make themselves ri
dicu.ous. Very short skirts and badly

Now, Pera, where the Europeans
live and the hotels are situated, is
quite like any continental town, and
the residents dress as they would in
London or Paris, so a tourist is at once
noticed on account of her remarkable

their wares. A Turk once asked If II
was true that all the English womer
who travel are ugly and badly dressed
or that they were sent out of England
/ on account of their clothes.

to cease being astonished al anything
extraordinary from an English per
