He lugubriously explained his error OF
judgment by saying: "From the
noise they made, I thought the lake
was fairly alive with frogs, but found
it all came from this trio of toads."

The Poor Old Party.

The disailcction ut the Ellensburg
convention is greater than at first re-
ported, and was a deliberate cold
bloodcd turn-down Of ex-senator Will
son and his friends which is likely to
lraEr hear; buruing> far beyond the
tall"t-hoX in November. The action
OF the convention plainly shows that
an effort has been made to eliminate
the Wilson faction from direction or
control OF the Republican party. 1t
may be strong enough to do this, but
with the 1900 Fusion majority in
1896, despite the Republican success
two years later, it must be admitted
that the party is playing with fire
when it deliberately ignores an ele-
ment composed of as positive men as
characterize Wilson and his following.
j. Howard Watson, who used to be
good Republican authority when lam
pooning the Fusion party, says that
the anin.us OF the yictors at Ellens-
burg arose from Wilson's conduct in
the last senatorial election, when he
was defeated and Foster chosen. He
says: "When Mr.. Wilson was cour-
teously invited to address the Legisla-
ture, he took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity and discourteously berated the
King county delegation for opposing
him, at the same time shaking his fist
over Speaker Guie's head. This was
one of the reasons why the Republi-
cans of the State outside OF King in
sisted on Speaker Cute being made
chairman and why they elected him.
Dat of the AS votes in the conven.
ton, Wilson had less than 100, and he
dared not oppose Guie."
The action OF the party as expressed
in the convention was evidently pre-
concerted and final. 1t has been made
with full understanding of the re.
sponsibility it involves. Mr.. Wilson,
despite his ownership and control of
the leading party journal in the State,
may be conceded fairly outside the
party when it comes to directing its
policy or its patronage. 1t is another
instance of "How the mighty have
fallen" without any inquiry as to
how the atom became might, or dis
cussion of the many causes which have
led to the utter humiliation of pres
tige.
One good thing that has resulted
to the rank and file of the party is
that the action tends to reanimate
Ankeny's barI, which has become
such an imperative factor of . live
campaign. 1t will doubtless be in evil
dence again, despite the fact that it
has turned up so often Only to have
its head stove in. Some Heroic meth
cd was necessary after the free trans
portation for PHILIPPINE soldiers ended
in such a miserable fiasco, and we
rather admire the nerve with which
the bung-starter is again used to set
in flow that which accomplishes such
wonders in Republican management.

IT is as hard for the Republican party
to let 60 of Protection as it was for the
Democratic party to let 90 of Slavery.
Yet the former is as clearly an economic
evil as the latter was-though it lacks
some Of the grosser evils on the moral
side. Protection, however, is doomed,
as slavery was; and this effort to protect
some of the people under the flag of the
United States against others and at the
expense of others under the flag of the
United States, reveals the error and
enormity of the whole system. Even
when you examine its work and its re-
suits at home, what is Protection but an
invocation of the powers of Government
to rob the whole people for the benefit
of a particular interest? There has
been no such revelation of the true
character Of Protection to the people OF
the United States as they have in this

Tripler's Liquid Air Project.

The last number OF McClure's Mag
daine contains page advertisement
OF the Tripler Liquid Air Co., of New
York, an incorporation formed with
capital stock that is limited to mil
lion shares at $40 each. This capital
is to be expended in promoting the
vast operations now demanded for
placing the new motive and explosive
power upon the market as a merchant
able commodity. The plan embraces
the binding of large demonstrating
plant in New York city, the establish.
ment of plants in the principal Euro.
pean cities, and the organization OF
subsidiary companies in foreign coun-
tries and the several States Of the
Union.
The organization will, however, have
to contend. at the outset, with almost
insurmountable difficulties. The SCI
entific world have not taken kindly
either to the originality or to the great
claims made for Tripler's experiment
tai tests. 1t has been shown that
liquid air was produced in small guam
titles quarter of century ago, in
Switzerland, and in much larger vol
ume in London, ten or fifteen years
ago. 1t was produced in small guam
titles in this country twenty years ago
and this fact certainly makes the
claim of the Tripler patents somewhat
uncertain, as all patents are based
upon originality, or priority of discov.
cry. Then to produce liquid air. we
have to start from atmospheric, or
common AFFAIR in its normal condi-
tion-and it is an unquestioned princi-
pie Of mechanics that when energy is
expended in producing a force, the
created cannot exceed the power of
the creator, or that, in such circu-
lar process, as it is termed, no new
power is evolved. If this principle
could be established, that jack O. Ian.
tern which has cast a faint glimmer
over so many credulous minds, would
Immediately become a shining light
on the pathway of progress.
Scientists, who have given the mat
ter consideration, maintain that only
thirty per cent. of the air compressed
passes into liquifaction, and that the
air in that state will retain only thirty
per cent. of the stored force, as a pos
sible available power. and this gives
only nine per cent. OF the power used
to liquify the air. If this be true, the
fact must be known to Tripler and his
associates, and his movement for or
ganized capital to attempt an impossi-
bility is on par with the fraudulent
claims of Kelley for his marvellous
motor, but on scale of magnificence
which will doubtless rival the "South
Sea Bubble" which paralyzed all Eng
land nearly two centuries ago.

Precisely So-That is the Charge.

EVERY fair-minded man will admit
that Mr.. Bryan's wild assertion that q
party exists in America whose purpose
Is 10 establish monarchial govern
ment, is gross outrage on the truth
O,ympian.
No fairminded man will admit"
any such thing. The tendencies of
the dominant party are all towards
the Hamiltonian idea of limited mon
archy, at least. The Republican
party of to-day is the lineal descend
ant of that principle. And that there
are those who are prepared to accept
an absolute despotism, "heeled" as
they have been by wealth to fight
their way to the front, whenever titled
aristocracy, a coincident of royalty, is
established, is just as evident. The
expression of prominent Republican
leader that the English government
was "good enough; the assertion OF
others that our Federal constitution
has chad its day.; the denial to our
captured and bought dependencies of
the primary rights OF citizenship,
rights that were claimed by the Amer
lean colonists in their Declaration OF

made by the power of gold to widen
the chasm between the aspirations OF
wealth and the interests of labor, all

ement which is ready to take down
any dose that may exalt their own in
dividuality, at gulp. Imperialism,
which is another concomitant of the
colonial policy, whereby the constitu-
ton and our flag are divorced, is a
step which should alarm all lovers of a
free, Republican form of government.
1t is a departure from the principles
laid down by the founders of our Re.
public that would be marvellous, were
not the power of wealth to debase and
corrupt, 50 we'll known.
And it follows that to make such a
scheme successful, it must be sedu.
ously kept from the masses, especially
at time when the scepter temporar-
lily passes into their own hands.
Hence all this systematic denial, by
small-fry campaigners and patented
torial newspapers. 1t is to throw dust
into the eyes of the people, instead OF
light upon the subjects presented for
consideration.
