he Is Sick,

Mr.. J. Sterling Morton, OF
Nebraska, who was Secretary
of Agriculture during, Presl-
dent Cleveland's second term,
is evidently sick at heart over
the multiplying evidences of
Democratic success this fall. In
the campaign of 1896 he was one
of the most active assistant Re-
publicans in the country, and
did what he could to elect Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Morton, like most
of his kind, hates Bryan, but he
is forced to admit that Nebraska,
in his opinion, will be found in
the Democratic column next
November. He says, also, that
Roosevelt is more popular IN
that State than Mckinley.
'Roosevelt," he adds, "outranks
Mckinley, mentally and NOR
rally; he is the bigger, braver
and better man. He would
make a larger and safer presi-
dent. Mckinley is too amicable
to distinguish the difference be-
tween the good and the bad and
too reluctant to acknowledge
such a distinction when made
by others. I understand there
is a great deal of fear of imperi-
alism among the foreign voters
of Nebraska. If Oswald Often
dorfer and Carl Schurz actually
believe there is danger from
militarism in this country and
make their German fellow-citi-
zens believe it they will increase
the Bryan vote. That is the
whole the thing, and it looks to
me as if that would decide the
election, but I should treat the
whole subject with ridicule"
These admissions from a man
like Morton are significant, and
is the best evidence in the world
that Bryan and Stevenson are
sure winners. Morton evident
ly thinks that the Democracy
will win this fall, although he
does not like to admit it out
right. He has about given up
the fight.

Trusts and the Bows.

Present conditions fostered by
the Republican party are caus-
ing alarm to mothers who are
of a rejecting disposition. The
keynote is struck by Harper's
Bazaar, a non-partisan paper,
devoted specially to female in
terests. Discussing monopolies
and trusts, as fxers of prices,
after giving notable illustra-
ton, the Bazar says: precise
" there is where trusts have
mothers by the heartstrings. It
is not so bad about prices-we
may struggle and meet this
but trusts impose upon our sons
a future of serfdom. The in
dividual enterprise that is posi-
BILE under a reign of trusts is a
resort to the economic conditions
of the barbarian. The alterna-
tive is serfdom-a clerkship, if
you will, a managerial position
at a handsome salary in the
trust concern, perhaps, but he
is the minion of the sugar king,
the coal baron-the trust that
employs him. He is a creature
of the trust, with no hope, no
future in which he may be mas
ter of himself. This is woman's
cause for hating trusts for fear
ing monopolistic tendencies OF
every sort. Her boy, yours and
yours are defrauded Of their
American birthright-liberty
and independence-while trusts
operate to create a royal descent
of money kings to rule the
common people. Woman's
enmity against trusts is not on
economic grounds. It stands
on the American principle of
liberty and equal rights, and
the strength of it is the force of
a mothers pride in her SON.
The only hope for our boys and
young men is the destruction of
the gigantic trusts that reduces
them to perpetual hewers of
wood and drawers of water.

Republicans Alarmed.

The Augusta Herald says a
merchant of that city, a keen
observer of events and condi-
tions, "who has just returned
from an extended trip through
the East and middle west, con-
fesses that ehas been surprised
at the feeling and sentiment
which have been made appar-
ent to him. During his trip, he,
at one time, rode in the same
train in which were the McKin-
ley party, Canton bound. He
says the strength of Bryan has
rapidly grown, and in what were
Mckinley hotbeds, four years
ago, is Bryan enthusiasm that is
alarming the shrewdest of the
Republican leaders. He admits
that he, before he left the South,
shared the opinion held by so
that Bryan had no chance
whatever. But, since his trip,
he has become convinced that
Bryan has more than fighting
chance and is in better trim and
in better position than Major
Mckinley in the race for the
whitehouse. There seems to
be no doubt of the fact that
Bryan is very strong in the west
and that the Republicans are
badly scared about it. Ali the
signs point to the election OF
BRYAN and Stevenson

Irving to Dodge It.

In his speech of acceptance
Of the Republican nomination
for president Mr.. Mckinley de-
clares the issue of the campaign
is free silver, and he declares
the people must again defeat the
Democrats and uphold the
national honor. He places the
money question to the front and
takes credit for prosperity. The
president says the party will
hold fast to it's Philippine policy.
He ignores imperialism and
shows clearly he wants to fight
on the issues of 1896, with silver
to the front. This Speech
shows, as the Augusta Herald
says, that "the Republican party
has already become desperate in
it's efforts to avoid being on
the defensive in the political
campaign that is now opening
up. 1t is trying to hide the real
issue by endeavoring to insist
that money is that which is be-
ing fought over, and by such
beautiful phrases as Don't let
them scuttle the ship' Don't
let them haul down the stars and
stripes.D The Democrats refuse
to permit this. They will force
militarism and imperialism to
the forefront and will picture
the fraud, greed and favoritism
to which the republic is tending,
and under which the people, to
some extent, are now living"
The Republicans know what
the verdict of the people will be
unless the real issue in the cam
paign, which is imperialism and
trusts, are side tracked and the
bugaooo of free silver is made
the sole issue in the campaign.
But the people can not befooled.
They will hold the Republican
party to strict account, which
means the defeat of Mckinley
and his gang of artful dodgers.

Republicau EYprocrites.
ABSOLUTELY PURE

Republican newspapers and
Republican conventions have
expiated with fine show of in
dignation upon the "outrage"
perpetrated by those southern
states which have so amended
their constitutions that the bulk
of their Negro vote will be dis
qualified. Under the federal
constitution, each state has the
right to prescribe the qualifica-
tions of it's voters. Massachu-
setts does it in her educational
test. Rhode Island did it for
many years in the provision that
a voter must own real estate to
a certain value, Connecticut has
long required that the voter
must be able to read and inter-
pref intelligently any section of
the state constitution, and
recently the additional require
ment that the reading must be
in the English language has
been imposed. The state Of
Oregon, over whose ''first gun"
in the campaign of this year
there was so much jubilation.
has gone much further in its
discrimination against the
Negro than any southern state
has ever proposed to go. The
Oregon constitution recently
adopted denies all the rights of
citizenship to Negroes and mu-
lattos. This is a relic of the
ante-bellum constitution of Ore
gon, but the fact that it was in
serted in the draft of the new
constitution and endorsed at the
polls by a great majority shows
how the people of Oregon feel
toward the negro. Of course,
says the Atlanta Journal, from
which paper we get the above,
it is all right for agood Republi-
can state like Oregon to disfran-
chise the Negro just as the
shooting of Negro laborers in
Republican Illinois was so pro-
per that a Republican governor
practically endorsed it. The
Republican idea of right and
wrong to the Negro is deter
mined entirely by locality and
the political complexion of the
community in question.

Pathetic End of Man Who Had
Ctor4od fnr 61aska

Started TOR Alaska.
The Atlanta Journal says Mrs. A.
L. Delkin, of that city, got recently an
interesting letter from her husband,
'sToay" Delkin, en- route to Cape Nome,
Alaska. 1t bore date June 10th and
was mailed at Unalaska which is about
1900 miles, half way between Seattle
and Cape Nome.
The letter contained an incident
which illustrates the brotherhood OF
man.
Among the vessels making for Cape
Nome was "The Senator" On board
was a s.eerage passenger from San
Diego, California, bound for the gold
fields to struggle for fortune. While
the ship was wrapped in thick fog
this man fell sick and died. To escape
the fog the captain struck for the open
sea, But meeting great blocks of fort
ing ice which threatened the destruc-
ton of the veil, "The Senator" was
forced to put into Unalaska.
It was e. first determined to bury
the body of the poor dead steerage
passenger, stranger 20 all on board, IN
the sea.
But search for his effects showed
sl.63 in his pockets, every cent be
had on earth, but it showed more. A
solied, crumpled piece of paper proved
the man to have been Mason.
On the scores of ships loaded down
with passengers ia the "madrace for
wealth" which the ice packs forced into
Unalaska there were upwards Of TO-
0O0 people among whom were many
Masons.
Cold in death the poor steerage pas
senger found not a grave in the sea
that's wild.
He was among brothers. They
raised $50 in twinkling and had the
pa!lied form embalmed. Five hundred
persons drew up in line before lone
grave at Unalaska. Towels, haDdker-
chiefs, pieces Of cloth, anything, were
fashioned into the form OF Masonic
aprons.
And there on the barren coast the
brothers of the dead stood in silent
sorrow about the new made grave and
when the mortal part of the poor steer
age passenger had been tenderly laid in
the cold embrace Of mother earth. The
brothers brought armsful Of wild
f,wers of the west and crowned the
humble mound.
They sold the watch and other effects
Of the dead for 5000 and sent the money
to the late home of the nameless stranger
at San Diego.
Many sad, wild story Of the ar
gauants Of Alaska has come out Of
the far and frigid northwest, but never
one which appeals so touchingly to
the heart as this, the simple story Of
the brother who died on the troubled
deep and the brothers who tenderly laid
him to rest, and crowned his lone grave
by the sea that's wild the wild flowers
of the west.
This affecting incident recalls the
closing lines Of Tom Moore, Ireland's
sweetest poet, on Robert Emmett; with
slight paraphrase:
''rhey made him grave where the
suDbeams rest,
Where they promise glorious NOR
row
They'll shine Ger his sleep like smile
from the west
From that lonely shore Of sorrow"
