cratic leader must admit, and the plain
every day Democratic voters are bound to
see, that an amendment to the Constitu-
ton granting ample power to Congress
would be much more effective than mere
bill passed by Congress without any grant
of constitutional authority to act.
What possible objection can the Demo
Gratis urge to the constitutional authority
for Congress to act in the premises ? None,
unless it be that power to deal with, con-
troll and suppress trusts should not be vest
ed in the general Government but remain
lodged with the several States of the
Union. This claim, of course, is based
upon the old doctrine of State rights, and
has been fund powerless to accomplish
what the Democrats themselves have been
demanding should be done to break up
trusts.
There are forty.five States in the Union;
and to do anything that would reach the
desired end there would have to be uni
form legislation on the part of all the
States. Is it possible that any man is
foolish enough to think that all the States
would pass laws similar in purpose, or that
would produce like results Is it not
more reasonable to suppose that there
would be as many kinds of laws as there
are States in number ? Besides, some of
the States might deem it best to become
the mother of trusts, ss has New Jersey,
and what right would the other States
have to interfere. There is but one practl'
cal way of obtaining remedy and secur'
ing relief, if it be necessary, and that is by
vesting in Congress, which represents all
the States, ample authority, to be wisely
used, in directing and controlling corpora
tons or trusts. The nearly unanimous
vote of the Democratic Representatives
against the proposed amendment to the
Constitution was wrong which could not
be recti6t by their solid vote, the next
day, for simple bill which was an exercise
of power never before claimed by Congress
under the provisions of the Constitution.
The Democratic party, by its representa-
tives in Congress, las made shameful
and insincere record on trusts.

A False Charge.
P Philadelphia Press.l


Insanity in the army was charged as one
of the fruits Of the occupation of the Phil
ippines by the United States. The charge
was first made in the newspapers; 1t was
repeated by Senator Pettigrew on the
floor of the Senate; it was promptly an
swered by Senator Hawley, but the origin
al charge is still floating through the news
papers which are more anxious to attack
imperialism than they are to tell the truth.
Senator Hawley, in his speech in the Sem
ate month ago, printed return from the
Surgeon General of the army for the fiscal
years from 1889 TO 1898, and from the
Philippine army during the period OF Its
occupation. This return showed that the
average of suicides in the regular army had
been SO per thousand-two persons each
three years per thousand during the last
ten years. In the Philippines the average
was "a per thousand. This is almost ex'
actly the average of the army during the
ten years. The highest number of suicides
in the army was in 1891, when it was .S3
per thousand, and the lowest in 1895,
when it was "A per thousand. So, as to
insanity, the main annual number trans
ferred to the asylum from the regular army
during ten years ending in 1898 was 33.l,
with an average force during this time OF
$4,000 men. With $4,000 men in the
Philippines during twelve months the
average was 31.3 for twelve months. In
other words, the average of insanity and
suicide in the Philippine Islands was as
nearly as possible exactly the average
which had been in the army all along
This is fact which will probably not be
promptly printed by papers which are OPP
posing policy of expansion, but the in
formation ought to at least lead them to
stop printing the other charge.

W. S. TAYLOR DECLINES.
Somebody Else Must Be the Republl'

Louisville, KY, June Wv. S. Taylor
today sent to the Evening Post from In
dianapolis the following statement in
which he declines 20 be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor
"To the Republicans of Kentucky; AT
one time thought, and so announced,
that if the Republican nomination for gov
ernor were rendered me should not feel
authorized to decline it. But after ma
ture consideration of all interests involved
in the contest for civil liberty, and of my
duty to myself and my family, for whom
l must provide, feel that should ask at
your hands relief from the exactions which
the nomination would impose.
"For ten long months | have borne as
best could the burdens which have at.
tended this great struggle. How much
| have endured for freedoms sake, few
will ever know. In spite Of all this the
will of the people has been overthrow
and l have not only been robbed, but sub
jected to a merclless political persecution.
"The coming campaign is one of pro
found Importance to Kentucky. The bal
lot must be redeemed. The victory won
last fall must again be won, and the theft
perpetrated by the General Assembly tit
tingly condemned.
"Our only redress must come through
an appeal to the people. The campaign
must be an active, aggressive one. No
point should be neglected. Every friend
of the sacred cause of human rights should
be enlisted.
ITO the end that the appeal should be
successfully made you should select for
your candidate one who may devote all his
time and energies to the prosecution of the

WHAT ABOUT OREGON 2

There is no use in our Democratic
friends trying to escape from the result of
the recent election in Oregon. The con-
test was made on national ISSUES, as it was
an election at which the two members of
the House of Representatives in Congress
from that State had to be elected. Under
the guidance of Mr.. Bryan there was a
perfect fusion of Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans. The fusion platform
was also shaped by the suggestions of Mr..
Bryan. There has been signal defeat of
the fusion ticket, which ran upon the
Chicago platform, with the anti.imperial-
list feature added. The Republican ma
jority in the election of the two Congress.
men aggregated nearly 10000.
In 1896 at the State election in Oregon,
which preceded the Presidential election,
there was no fusion ticket in the field, but
the combined vote of the Democrats and
Populsts in the election for State officers
amounted to 4,3O7 more votes than the
Republican candidates received, while the
two Republican candidates for Congress
were elected by scant plurality Of AL
votes. The gain for the Republicans on
the vote for Congressman is something
over 5000.

The Lesson From Oregon.
Richmond Times. !

| Richmoud Times
A correspondent, writing from Portland
several days before the election was held
said that the campaign in Oregon was
opened by Hon. William j. Bryan in per
son before the nominating convention met
That Mr.. Bryan paid visit to the Pacific
coast in March and spoke at a number Of
places in Oregon, including Portland.
While at Portland conferences were held
and the plan of joint convention by the
Democrats and Populists was laid. In
pursuance of that plan, the correspondent
goes on, both parties called their conven.
tons to meet in Portland on the same day,
and then, and through the medium of a
conference committee, joint platform EN-.
bracing an endorsement of the Chicago
platform was agreed upon. Each party
was allowed onehalf of the offices, the
Democrats taxing the head of the ticket
and the justice of the Supreme Court.
The contest was a strenuous one, the
Democrats fighting under Mr.. Bryan's
guidance along the lines adopted in 1896,
and the Republicans opposing them with
the living issues of The day. The result
was signal defeat for the Fusionists. If
the Democrats who go to the Kansas City
Convention to promulgate platform do
not learn lesson from the fate of Fusion
and Organism in Oregon they will deserve
the defeat which they will surely get in
the national election.

Transportation and Trade.

That trade is developed wherever direct
transportation facilities are furnished is
we'll illustrated by a report just made by
Consul General Dickinson at Constantine
pie. When the Consul was appointed,
several years ago, the trade between the
United States and Turkey was compare.
lively Insignificant The lack of direct
steamship connection prevented American
exporters from competing with European
sellers, who possessed adequate means Of
communication. After long effort, how
ever, the Consul General succeeded in in.
ducing one line to make regular sailings
from New York to Constantinople.
The result has been an immediate de-
mand for American products. The Amer
lean goods delivered at Smyrna, Cons!an-
tinople and SaIonica include pumps, phon-
ographic goods (nearly 1850 pounds),
leather, rubber boots and shoes, a large
variety of hardware, cotton cloth, tin
ware, lamp goods, wooden ware, milling
machinery, cotton, betting, moving ma.
chimes, chairs and other furniture, clocks,
iron bedsteads, paints. lard and cleo, flour
and nearly 6OO0 kegs of wire nails.
Since the establishment of direct steam.
ship lines, and the consequent reduction
in freights, wire nails and few other ar
ticles of American manufacture appear to
have taken possession of the Levantime
markets. In the opinion of good judges
many other staple articles will be equally
popular when they shall once have been
fairly introduced. 1t is in this way that
export markets must be built up; and in
the same way markets nearer home which
are accessible by water communication
may be developed.

WHY NOT 0RNlTH0L0GY 2
A Study Which Has Been Neglected
in Schools.
Memphis Commercial. !

Memphis Commercial
At this season of the year when We
Lear so much of examinations in this,
that and the other branch, the inquiry
suggests itself to our minds: Why do
our children learn nothing of the birds
that make such beautiful part of every
season? Besides the vitality important
three RS, the children study botany,
and, digging down into the bowels of the
earth, they learn some wonderful things
about rocks and strata and those far
days of prehistoric man. But of the
birds that build in their yards and sing
in their gardens they know next to moth.
ing. And yet the lessons of tenderness
and humanity these latter teach are GER
tainly more to be desired than the bare,
statistical facts of geology. A rock tells
a story that is past and done with; the
birds sing song Of the present, which to
us is the all-important era. We cannot
make friends of stones, but with the birds
we can be friends, and next to human
ties the friendship of animals is the most
softening influence that comes to us. Not
even the culture of flowers is so human
izing, because the flowers can in no way
respond to our attentions but bloom spon-
taneously And as this heart culture is
vital part of education, why should not it
be begun with study of the birds whose
coming and going mark the waxing or
the waning of the seasons? To be able to
tell one bird call from another, and to
distinguish between eggs and nests and
colors would be a source of delight to
many a child who learns by rote and
without interest the peculiarities Of
rocks of the paleozoic age. To the aver
age child birds are glowing realities, while
shells and clay strata are abstract concep-
tons of the man who wrote the geology.
Ornithology, cleverly taught, would en-.
nance the interest in the schoolroom and
cultivate in the child the virtues of ten.
derness and pity and love.
