The Democratic press is extreme
ly busy in attempting to unload
the odium of the Idaho labor
troubles upon McKinley's admins
tration. The disturbances, which
necessitated the presence of United
States troops upon the scene to
hold the rioting miners in subjec-
ton and the maintainance of law
and order, are directly traceable to
the specious teachings of the Bry-
antics. The outbreak of the min
ers followed closely upon the in
auguration of Gov. Steunenberg
on January LIST, who was elected
on the Democratic Peoples ticket,
on the Bryanite platform denounc-
ing organized capital. The sue
cess of this ticket undoubtedly
imbued the miners with the idea
that the State would protect Or
ganized labor against organized
capital no matter to what lengths
the former carried its excesses,
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1900-04-04

and Tie riots and destruction of
property followed. Gov. Steun-
enbcrg, although elected on a
platform anarchist:c in its tenden-
cy, quickly proved himself a law
and order man, and finding the
authority of his State insufficient
to cope with the rioters, he called
the national government to his as
sistance. He testified before the
Congressional investigating COM
mittec in Washington the other
day that he had called for the as
sistauce of federal troops upon his
own responsibility and as his last
resort in the protection Of life and
property. So far, however, Gov.
Steunenberg has not come under
the criticism of the Bryanite press
for bringing the troops into Idaho
and upholding the law, it is the
national administration the papers
are after for the ''crime" Of lend
ing the troops to such a cause.

While our Democratic friends
are ranting against the conduct of
the government in the Philippines
and denouncing the administration
for waging a war of ''conquest,
it is, nevertheless, al nndeniable
fact that the only war for conquest
and territory the American people
ever engaged in was the Mexican
war of 1s46-4S, inaugurated under
the administration of that Demo-
cratic President, James K. Polk.
In this war the United States
wrested by force from a nation Of
civilized people, fully capable of
self-government, a section of ter
ritory equal to an empire, and
which now forms a large part of
our grand domain. 1t is true the
United States paid Mexico conso-
lation fund of s15, 900, 900, precis-
ly the amount that was paid to
Spain for the Philippines; but this
is the only parallel between the
two cases. The war with Mexico
was one of aggression and con-
quest, and our first step toward
''imperialism;" the war in the
Philippines is only to suppress re-
bellion in United States territory,
our constitutional authority for
which was thrashed out between
the North and South in the days of
1876. If our flag must come
down in the Philippines, let us
haul it down from over the Mexi-
can cession of 1913 also, and yet
let us pass the South back it's free
dom under the stars and bars, if it
will have it so, and preserve the
"constitootion.'

Should the Republicans ever be
successful in carrying Missouri we
don't believe the Democrats would
give up the State Offices without
contesting the election to the last
extremity. There is hidden under
Democratic rule things at Jefferson
City which, if disclosed, as they
must be by a change of party,
would permanently retire the Dem
ocrats from power in this State.
Evidently apprehension of the
eventual loss of the State is already
being felt by the Democratic party
leaders, and every effort is being
made to stave off Republican Sue
cess by the enactment Of partisan
laws which will deprive Republi-
cans of their full and free right of
the ballot. Much of the same
spirit of unfairness which pervades
the Democracy of Kentucky is no.
ticeable in the acts of the Demo-
cracy of Missouri, and should the
Republican encroachment upon the
frail majority Of the party in pow

election it may be confidently
oxpected, that the Democrats will,

Congressman Robb must have
m exaggerated idea of his popu.
larity with the rank and file of his
party in the district he represents
that he believes his chances for re-
nomination are improved by his
primary election scheme. He
should remember, however, that
primaries cannot be carried by the

The 100000 prosecution fund
Of the Goebelites is prolific in Sc
curing suborned testimony. 1t
has even induced a witness to say
that there was a conspiracy among
the Republicans in Kentucky to
massacre the Democratic members
of the Legislature of that state.
This testimony is about as honest
rs the money which was paid for
it, and any one who believes it is
. fit subject for a lunatic asylum.
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1900-04-04

The recent developments in the
Senate over the Porto Rican tariff
question indicate that the influence
of tho Tobacco and Sugar trusts
is strongly at work in that body in
the interest of free trade with the
island. More Democratic than
Republican senator's show that they
are being Dominated by these two
potent trusts. 1t is shown that
large quantities of sugar and to-
bacco now in the island are owned
by the trusts and to get it into the
United States free of duty is now
their object. In passing the fif-
teen per cent tariff bill against
Porto Rican products, which con-
sist almost entirely of the two
commodities named, the Republican
majority in the House has shown
itself cognizant of the trusts deep
game US we'll as opposed to it,
while nearly all the Democratic
members of that body voted to let
this trust-owned sugar and tobac-
CO in free. In the Senate, a short
time ago, Senator Jones, the chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, introduced a resolution
to return to the sugar importers
(the trust) all the duties collected
on sugar imported from Porto
Rico since the cession Of the island
to this country by Spain. This
resolution, although it Was hurried
ly withdrawn, exposed the Demo-
Gratis as the true trust favoring
party. 1t would not benefit the
consumers any to admit Porto
Rican sugar and tobacco free,
but the trusts would reap large
gains. Porto Rico needs money
badly for the relief of its present
distressed condition, and the Re-
publicans propose to collect the
necessary funds by tariff from the
Golfers of the Sugar and Tobacco
trusts and return it to the people
of the island.

The Democracy of this county is
no better than that of the state and

the hauling down of our flag in the

Republican can vote for a Demo
crat for local Office and still adhere

a Few Democratic Opinions.

Believing that the Democratic
voters of Washington County are
interested In what the Democratic
papers in Congressman Robb's dis
trict think about his primary cleo
ton scheme, and knowing they
will not get the information
through their own local party OF
gan, we print few extracts from
the leading Democratic papers on
the subject:
Pennington Herald. 'sFor high
handed outrage the action of Con-
grcssman Robb and his tool, H. G.
Bell, in the meeting of the Con-
gressional Committee last week,
takes first rank. The public con-
demnation that is sweeping over
the fifteen counties of the 18th
Congressional District, is but a just
rebuke to actions that are unfair,
un- Democratic and actnated by
purely selfish motives. The abuse
of the four proxies held by MIR.
Bell, the unfair manner in which
he obtained those proxies, the mis-
representation of his own county,
give all tho proof needed that be
sold himself, body and soul, to Mr..
Robb."
Piedmont Banner. "The action
of factional part of the Congress
sional Committee by means of
proxies in riding ro"ghshod over
the protests of others and fastening
upon us a primary election in this
district is simply outrageous.
There was no intimation of pri-
mary until the day of the Commit
tee meeting < We rather believe
that MIR. Robb in forcing this
action upon the people has sue
ceeded in encompassing his own
defeat"
Ironton Register: eve don,
like the idea of a candidate for
public favors debating the manner
Of conferring those favors, and
there is no question but that the
prima, y plan in this instance is the
idea of Mr.. Robb himself, pure
and simple. He didn't take the
people into his confidence, which
we think he might safely have
done, but wrote to committeeman
all over the district asking them to
send their proxies tc H. G. Bell,
who would kindly cast their votes
for them, and in the roundup Mr..
B. cast six of the eight votes which
settled the manner and date of
nomination: a very marked piece
Of ''cut-and -dHed' work. Mr..
Robb was present at the meeting,
but he came with without sound
of trumpet or boom of gun, and
his work accomplished he departed
as silently as he came. He "stack-
ed the cards" and won the game in
a manner surprising to the public
and disgusting to the opposing ele.
ments.
