"EEM WILL WIN"

"It is Democracys year to triumph"
Wherefore not? Listen to the Verdict:
Think what the trusts have done?
They have closed mills. They have
thrown men out of work. Notably
and disastrously for Mckinley hopes to
come-they have cast idly loose, as
commercial help not wanted, an army
corps of $4,000 commercial travellers.
Think what thunderbolt of political
war these $1,000 "drummers" are like
to prove against Republicanism! The
trusts have pared wages to the laborer.
They have put up the prices to the
public. Not one man in the land but
has felt them gnawing at his sub
stance. Look about you and behold In
sundry instances the work of trusts
Standard Oil outrages in Occur
d'Alene gave Idaho to the Democracy.
The Standard Oil bribe of 100000 Of
fered Monett; Standard Oil defeats
Monet for denomination as Ohio's at
torney-general; Standard Oil closing
the door of Cooper Institute to prevent
Monetts denunciation Of trusts;
bribes, gags, lawlessness, in the name
of the law, and free speech murdered
Are these not due to have effect for
Democratic good?"

LIES ABOUT BRYAN.
MANUFACTURED BY THE RE-
PUBLICAN EDITORS.
His Drawing of tho Line Between "Im-
perialism" and Legitimate Expansion
Has Brought Out Fresh Crop of
Misrepres IN tions.

All of the Republican organs take
special delight in misquoting and mis-
interpreting the language used by
Democratic leaders on every occasion.
AS we move along further in the cam
paign, there will be enough scripture
misquoted and falsehoods uttered un-
der the guise of truth, to deceive even
the elect. Mr.. Bryan is man who has
been more misquoted and deliberately
lied about than any other man in the
country. The fact that nothing can be
urged against him, either as a states
man or man ought to be conclusive
evidence in his favor. Referring to
this matter the Buffalo Evening Times
says:
Some of the Republican papers are
seizing upon Mr.. Bryan's latest utter
ance declaring that he is for certain
kind of expansion, an expansion that
has no elements of Imperialism, as an
indication that he is hedging" so to
speak, on this issue.
There is nothing new in what Mr..
Bryan has recently said. He has de-
clared himself in the same way upon
many occasions before. He is perfect
ly consistent in the matter. He never
was an anti-expansionist in any prop
er sense of the word. But he always
has been and always will be an anti
imperialist. And it is where expansion
takes on the form of imperialism that
he draws the line."

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

BY government ownership is not
meant here that the government owns
anything, for it does not. On the con-
trary, everything practically owns the
government. This is the difficulty and
1t is the problem to be solved Before
the government can own anything, it
Is plainly necessary to get it away
from those who do own it. We do not
agree with the Los Angeles Herald
that "the Republican party is not only
in possession of all the machinery OF
government, all the great corporations,
all the great moneyed institutions, all
the powerful agencies which have fast
ened themselves upon the people, but
1t has the army, which it will not
scruple to use if it finds itself driven
to the last ditch by an indignant, out
ragged people"
All these things own the Republican
party, and the Republican party owns
the government as above specified.
There are some things which the Re-
publican party are ashamed to own,
but they assume the control of them
for the purposes of user only. The
Herald furnishes a list of these ease
ments:
"The Republican party has most of
the great newspapers, which are sub
sidized to advocate its revolutionary
measures. And still worse and more
humiliating to us as people, the ad-
ministration has the British govern
ment as an active and open ally in its
criminal aggression and colonial
policy, as well as in its financial pol

AVOID STEPPING UPON CRACKS
Popularity of Many People When Walk
ing Along tho Pavements.


From the Philadelphia Record: 81
wonder why it is" said a quick OBJ
server the other day, that nine peo-
pie out of every ten in walking along
the sidewalk invariably try to avoid
stepping upon the cracks or divisions
in between the tagging? Now, for in
stance, if the divisions are made so
that an ordinary mans step would
measure about two-thirds of the width
Of one section Of the tagging, he would
naturally take about three steps in
crossing two of them. But instead of
making the three steps of the same
length and setting one foot down upon
the seam, you will find that he will
invariably take a step either a little
longer or little shorter than is really
most convenient, Just to enable him
to avoid stepping upon the crack or
seam. 1t seems to be done almost un-
consciously, and yet If on the next
square the size of the division in the
pavement is changed you will notice
that almost invariably the pedestrian
adapts his steps to the new arrange
ment, and still continues to avoid the
cracks. Children used to play a game
called poison on their way to school,
The game consisted entirely in care
fully avoiding stepping upon a stone
or some other material selected by the
leader to be designated as poison, to
set foot upon which was supposed to be
followed by direful consequences
Whether the habit of looking where
you step thus acquired is continued
by those who now try to avoid cracks
l cannot say, but If you notice you
will find that many people who walk
are addicted to the habit here de-
scribed-"

The few trains that reached the city today were run with the utmost cau- ton. The damage in the city has been very great. Trestles on the western and eastern ends of the electric street railway have been damaged to such an extent as to necessitate the stoppage of the cars. The dam of the lake at Arundel Springs just south of the city, also gave way this afternoon, and the water carried every thing before it it spread out over the valley below The Eagle oil mills here are flooded to a depth of about four feet.

been loaded the march to the dam was be- gun. When they were approaching the Bowery three nervous militiamen accident ally discharged their rifles, but no one was hurt.
 As the troops were swung into the nar- row lane called the Bowery, a strange sight met their eyes. About 200 men were the broad sidewalks. Flags were hang ing from the windows, and crowds stood on the -stoops. About twenty Italians, with mandolins and guitars, were seated on the walk playing a lively tune. Today is Eas- ter Monday, holiday in Italy.
 The militiamen pitched their camp in side the ground, where construction work on the dam is temporarily suspended and patrols were thrown out Everything is quiet, and the company says it will make no attempt to begin work until General Roe says so. It is thought the attempt will be made on Wednesday. The strikers leader, Angelo Rotella, said tonight that there would be no trouble. He said:
 We do not propose to fight soldiers We are behaving, and we gave the soldiers . fine welcome with our mandolins and gui- tars."

JOURNAL DID NOT GIVE UP
The Gubernatorial Race is Attracting Much Attention in Montgomery Sanford Seems To Lead, With
 Waller a Good Second

Montgomery, April 16-(Special)-Gov- ernor Johnstons statement acquiescing in the action of the people as expressed in the primaries Saturday was received with considerable interest and afforded his friends here considerable relief, as the Evening Journal did not show a disposition to surrender the fight. No returns have yet been received here to indicate that Johnston has carried single county.
 The race in Bullock seems to have been closer than in any other county, Morgan winning by sixty-seven majority. Sam foord carried that county over Stallings by less than fifty.
 The principal interest is now centered in the gubernatorial contest. Friends here of Colonel Sanford claim that he will come to the convention with between 175 and 200 delegates. MT. Walters friends say that he will have about 16O delegates. General Shelley's friends calculate his strength at sixty votes if he wins Jefferson. Mir. Stall- ings' strength Is estimated at about sev- enty votes. Later returns indicate that Stallings has carried Wilcox and Henry. This would run his sure vote up to fifty

LORD ROBERTS
 NET IS SPREAD
To Ca,c,1 the Adventurous Boer CommandoS That Have Been
 Making Mischief.

London, April 17.-Q:15 a. m.)-Lord Roberts has spread his net far and wide to catch the adventurous commandos that have been making mischief in the south eastern part of the state. The net has not yet been drawn in; but at the headquar- ters of Lord Roberts the impression exists that the power of the Boers is decreasing.
 A Daily News correspondent has them fleeing to the southeast; Standard cor respondent reports them fleeing north ward; a Daily Telegraph correspondent says that some are going north and others south, while Morning Post representa- tive finds it is not known what the Boers are doing. Evidently the feeling at Bloem- fontein is that the dispositions of Lord Roberts are such as to enable him to con- centrate a large force rapidly at any point. The Boers, being aware of this, are pre- sumed to be thinking now chiefly of re- treat. The investment of Wepener, &C., cording to special dispatches from Bloem- fontein has absolutely been abandoned. According to Bethany dispatch the Boers are unable to retreat northward, because the British strongly hold all roads.
 Diverse reports come from Natal, one as- serting that the Boers have retired beyond the Biggarsburg range and another saying that some of them are close to Ladysmith.
 Distrust exists as to any rapid, continu- ous advance toward Pretoria, chfehy on account of the lack of horses, many of which die in the case of long voyages. Letters from the Cape say that three days journey by rail is made in open trucks that the arrangements for feeding and watering are inadequate, and that the un- fortunate animals break down rapidly in consequence of these hardships
 Despite the energy of it's buyers abroad, the war office foresees much difficulty in supplying the enormous number of horses required.

New Orleans, April 16.-The eve of the state elections finds matters very quiet, ef- forts last night being concentrated on the parish of St. Marys, where both Senator Caffery and Governor Foster reside, and which both sides claim. The republicans carried it last election. Owing to bad weather the vote will probably be light, not over So,0OO. and the democrats expect to cast fully 50,0OO. The Caffery men still express hope of winning out while the regular republicans concede the state to the democracy. which has made quiet but effective campaign.
