The republican party should not
make the mistake of over conf
dence this year. Four years ago
the democrats condemned their
own administration and in many
ways made a radical departure
from their former principles; yet
despite the fact that Mckinley had
100000 plurality over Bryan, so
close were some Of the states that
change of 10000 would have
elected the latter. The repub-
licans had the support Of leading
democrats and to them is due
largely, their success. This year
the leaders promise to unite on
new issues and warm fight may
be expected. The republicans all
over the country are harmonious
and have entire confidence in their
success. They deserve it but
must fight for it.-Fargo Forum.

WITH republican ex-president,

dozen ex-congressmen, at least one
ex- governor, several senators and
congressman, all republicans,
against the administration S scheme
of imperialism, to say nothing
of the terrible fight made against

Speaking of the claim of the ad-
ministration organs that labor is
now being we'll paid, the st. Paul
Globe says: ga canvass of the
pay rolls of sixteen Of the larger
manufacturing establishments Of
one of the Twin Cities will illus
trate the absurdity of the claim.
These sixteen establishments en-
ploy 1882 people, or an average Of
157 for each. About one-third of
all these employees, OF in exact
numbers 706, are paid less than S.
per week, and considerably less
than one-fourth Of the whole num-
Der earn in excess Of $40 per week.
The total earnings of the entire
number of employees in these SIX
teen manufacturing establishments
amount to sl2,S0S per week, which,
divided by 2, 1872, the whole num-
Der of employees, gives an average
of s7.2l per week, or s1.10per day.
Cowsideing the fact that the labor
here represented comes under the
head Of skilled labor, and that a
certain percentage thereof is sub
ject to more or less idleness dur
ing the yearit is very evident
that so far as wages are concerned
labor has nothing to thank the
Mckinley administration for,
inasmuch as the laborers could not,
at the present cost Of living, very
we'll keep body and soul together
for less.''

A SYNDICATE MASCOT.

President Mckinley Is said to
heartily approve of Hanna's de-
termination to remain at the head
of the republican national COM
mittee, believing that the good
which followed one campaign will
follow another. The Ftgood luck
which resulted in McKinley's
nomination in 1896 and his cleo
ton to the presidency Of the
United States later was the good
luck that came from a lavish use
of money and corporation influence
in controlling votes. It was be-
cause Hanna entered public life as
the instrument Of the syndicate
that he welded this power derived
from syndicate gold and syndicate
influence. The syndicates knew
that the man whom he caused to
be nominated and elected would
do their bidding. Mckinley is
again dependent upon Hanna to
further his ambition for another
term in the White House. He
can successfully "touch'' the syudi-
Gates for s30,000,000 contribu-
ton for the publican slush-fund
to be used for campaign purposes.
At his bidding, and on his pledge
of the continued subserviency of
Mckinley to the syndicates, the
tremendous power Of these corp
orations will again be used to
influence votes for thea republican
ticket. And this, Mckinley hopes,
will bring once more that "good
luck" which followed Hanna's
generalship in 1896. The only
F'hoodoo'' of which the syndicate
president stands in dread is the
people. If the voters Of the
United States are at least awake
to the peril Of syndicate govern.
ment all the millions OF all the
syndicates cannotprevail to re-elec,
the man who stands supremely fol-
syndicate government. The one
element of uncertainty remaining
in the situation is, therefor-Are
the people awake to this peril?

The following from tbs James,
town Alert is worthy Of consider
alton of Langdon and all the towns
of the state during the open season
for hobos: 1t has been suggested
that as the tramp season approach
es the city authorities should
prevent ths usual large number of
professional tramps from idling
and begging around town, by en-
forcing the ordinance against vag-
rancy. If this ordinance is prop
erly enforced tramps can he made
to work on the streets and once
the town makes it known that
tramps are required to labor on
the streets these parties will fight
very shy Of the place. It
is easy to tell between profess
sional tramp and an honest laborer
looking for work, and officers of
Of the law would seldom make a
mistake in hauling up the wrong
man. The experiment. was tried
at Buffalo, a small town in Cass
county of making the tramps work
On the streets and 1t was remark
able in how short q time the tramps
heard of it and how free the town
became from the professional
tourists.

IHE nomination by the peoples
party Of Charles A. Towne for the
vice-presidency has caused much
discussion that has not been wholly
tolerant and fair. It was we'll
known before the Sioux Falls con-
vention assembled that Mr.. Bryan
would be its nominee for the presi-
dency, and interest conferred upon
the vice-presidential nomination.
Beyond any question the repre-
sentatives Of the ruling influence
in democratic affairs strove to
persuade the convention not to
make a nomination for second
place, but rather to turn the whole
question over to the conference
committee which will meet with
the representatives Of the demo-
cratic party Kansas City, July 4.
But the convention, actuated
somewhat by a not unjustifable
pride in the standing of the popu-
list party, felt that q nomination
was essential to maintain the in
tegrity Of that organization,
From the day that the first dele
gate arrived at Sioux Falls until
the time that all departed, there
was not one word heard on the
streets of the little city unfriendly
to Mr.. Bryan. The convention
was gathered with sincere and
earnest purpose to advance Mr..
Bryan's candidacy in every wise
way, It is true that the way the
convention thought was wisest was
not the method which democrats
would have chosen. But it is the
duty of all who are enlisted in the
cause of progressive reform DO
litics this year to accept the action
Of the Sioux Falls convention as
taken in good faith. No one can
tell how the democrat convention
at Kansas City will receive the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan. That
is matter whic the delegates
there must determine for them
selves. But on the other hand, no
one can fairly and honorably raise
any question as to the entire good
faith of the men who have put
Mr.. Towne in nomination. AS
for Charles A. Towne himself, he
is, as all who know him recognize, a
Democrat in everything except
name. Among the young men in
our party there are none who go
beyond him in devotion to the
democratic cause as it is to-day
defined. If his party affiliations
are other than democratic, it is
only because it has seemed wise

''star-eyed goddess will support
Bryan in the coming campaign.
He says: Call right, boys, we are

you go to hell" The Democrats
won't go that far, and Henri need
not fear meeting his Satanic
