Twelve mills belonging to the
American Steel & Wire Trust were
closed down without warning two
weeks ago, throwing six thousand
men out of employment-the manag-
ers announcing that there was no
market for their wares. Either the
boosted prosperity of the administra-
ton is not here, or the mills were
closed by the great trust for the
saving of wages and the creation of a
scarcity in their wares in order to in
crease profits Does the plutocratic
party prefer to be pinioned under
the fact that we are in no better
condition than in 96 and the evils Of
silver decentralization are as mani
fest as ever in spite of its gold stand
ard and sound money legislation, or
does it prefer to be impaled upon the
truth that it has fostered giant COM
binations that can work wide spread
destruction to commercial interests
and do SO in the most cold blooded
manner whenever unusual profits are
to be reaped?

Complaints as to the time-lmits punched

The Silver Republicans.

Chairman Towne of the national commit
tee of the silver republican party has CALI
a national convention of the party to meet
at Kansas City July to nominate candi-
dates for President and Vice President of
the United States. The silver republicans.
as their name indicates, are uncompromis-
ingly in favor of the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1. That is their first and great
comma ndment. 1t was for silver's sake
that they left the regular republican party.
and it is for silver's sake that they still
continue their separate organization. They
co-operated with the democrats in 1896,
and they are expecting to do so again. This
explains the time and place of their meet
ing, which will bring them into intimate
conference with the democrats.
Mr.. Bryan is the choice Of the silver re-
publicans for President, and If everything
goes smoothly they will nominate him by
reclamation They will be willing to accept
him at second hand from the democrats,
and at third hand from the populists, who
will have nominated him at Sioux City, but
they will demand to be heard about the
platform. There must be no juggling with
the money question; no surrender to east
ern influences; no subordination of the Is
sue for which they stand to any issue for
If this is to be another campaign for sill
yer they are with the democrats under Mr..
Bryan's leadership. But If it is to be a
campaign Of hugger- mugger. for the pur-
pose of tolling the gold seceders of 1896
back into the democratic party, they will
take matters under Amusement, and. not
unlikely, return, themselves, to their old
affiliations.
Here, of course, will arise Mr.. Bryan s
chief difficulty. A great many gold demo-
Gratis are anxious to return home. and they
will be represented at Kansas City by dele
gates who will ask that silver be subordi-
mated in the platform, and, later, in the
appeals to the people on the stump, in
order that the democratic party may be re-
united for the campaign. And on the other
hand will be these silver republicans and
populists, in effect serving notice that I'M
less silver is kept to the front they are off.
The silver republicans are not numerous,
but in Idaho and Colorado they boast of
their strength. The populists have been
losing ground, and are now divided, but Mr..
Bryan caters to them as though he held
them as essential to success. May the gold
democrats promise themselves a favorable
hearing as against these men. who have
both the ear ard the sympathy of Mr.
Bryan in all Of their purposes and aspira-
tons?

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The readiness of ''hyphenated Ameri-
cans to tiaunt their hyphens is less rep
rehensible than the servility with which a
certain class of politicians, Americans by
birth and by descent through several gen.
erations, have, in the Sordid hope of gain
| ing political support. been willing to truckle
to a sentiment whose existence they Sc
,cretly resent Such truckers are by no
means confined to particular party or
particular locality. They are to be found
in every part and in every state which
contains an appreciable contingent of for
eign-bOrn voters The transparent shallow
ness of ultra-fraternal pretenSiunS thus put
forth must disgust the shrewder element
among those whom they are intended to
attract
tions of the foreign-born are assuming pro-
portions increasingly larger than those of
the contingent born abroad. this phase of
humbug in politics is likely 20 shrivel and
eventually to disappear. = children of
foreign-born citizens, reared in American
public schools. and subject from their
earliest renembranceS to an American en-
vironment, are usually DESTROYS of pro-
claiming their Americansm, and take only
a shadowy interest in ties of blood that
bind them to countries and institutions be-
yond the sea.
The objection to the division of voters on

Our Sulu Citizens.

One of the results of the American VEN

hometan islanders organized under laws
and customs utterly strange to the western
mind These Sulu people constitute one of
the most interesting groups of world in
habitants within the American view today.
Yet but little is known about them, as few
tourists have ventured into their territory
and even yet there are reasons to forbid
promiscuous travel through this group.
For these reasons the letter from Jolo In

respondence, printed today, will doubtless
prove of exceptional interest 1t describes

peculiar race Of people.
The problem of dealing with tribes we'd

cry, strict in their observance of the Mos
lem faith and only lately brought from IN
der the unwise administration of Spain has
already presented some difficulties, which,
however. have been happily solved for pur-
poses of present administration through the
wisdom and tact of the American officers
sent TO negotiatewith the Sulus. 1t is easy to
believe that if the chief of these tribesmen
could be persuaded, as Is suggested in the
letter from Jolo, to visit the United States
and witness the evidences of the prosperity
which follows the American civilization
our burden of peaceful administration in
the Suius will have been materially light
ened. II is evident that only by thorough
mutual understanding are permanent re-
suits for quiet government achieved among
these barbaric peoples. They have their keen
sensibilities along with the white races.
their prejudices are strong and easily chaI-
lenged and it behooves the governing power
to adjust itself as far as possible to their
environment and to respect their traditions
within the limits of governmental dignity.
To this end study of these peoples is alb
solutely essential to successful administra-

number of seasons The symptoms of this
affiction are so nearly combination of a
bad cold and an attack of malaria with
other symptoms on the side, that it has
baf1ed the psychologists in the effort to
specialize the cause and to find reliable
remedy, although recent Investigations have
brought some of the students of the disease
to believe that the germ is egg-shaped and
propagates itself with marvellous rapidity
