POLITICAL PENCILINGS.

Let not innocent men be punish
ed, is now an excellent motto for the
law-abiding people of Kentucky.
Mr., Bryan's far Western trip is to
a 10000 mile affair, with a rear-end
speech at every stopping place.
Cotton Jumps to Ten Cents" says
the Savannah Tribune. Thus Nc
Kinley prosperity invades the South.
The Democratic leaders propose to
see to it that vast amount of grum-
bling and faultfnding follows the
flag.
There is one thing quite certain.
President McKinley's Administra-
is not swayed by New York's bubonic
journalism.
The Republican party will receive
valuable assistance this year from the
good Orator Puff who speaks from
the top of the factory smokestack.
The city of New York was turned
over to Tammany by the hue and cry
of "home rule" There has been a
reign of plain larceny ever since.
Municipal reform in New York has
reached that point where the officials
Of that city tremble all the time that

the Kansas City nomination, Mr.
Bryan thinks that it is safe for him to
go about the country talking about
the wickedness of monopoly.
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is running on double time
This has been rendered necessary
by the example set by the manufac-
turing institutions of the country.
All of the great newspapers of the
country are opposed to the principles
contained in the Chicago platform.
But this fact is explained by Mr..
Bryan with the one word ICONS
piracy"
1t is confidently believed that the
next notable thing in the South
Dakota divorce line will be the legal
separation of the Hon. Richard
Franklin Pettigrew from his official
position.
When Mr.. Bryan gave his unquali-
fled Endorsement to Gobelism in Ken
lucky he placed a marked impedi-
ment in his favorite speech about
government without the consent Of
the governed"
The activity of the Hon. William
Sulzer and the Hon. John j. Lentz
as Congressional leaders must be
pleasing to the voters of party
which was at one time able to boast
of its Randalls, it Coxes, its Carlisles,
and its Crisps.
The Bank of Peru and London an
nounces that all current payments
will be made in sterling or Peruvian
pounds. The advent of the gold
standard in the republics to the south
of us means the retirement of uncer-
tainty and revolution.
The Hon. Eugene V. Brewster, one

The first prominent develo .ment
of the trust organization in the Unit
ed States was in consolidating num-
erous lines of railroad into trunk
lines. The result has been very
material reduction in freight charges.
For instance, in 1865, the average
cost of shipping one ton of freight for
one mile, on thirteen of the most i'm
portant railroads, was 3.0S cents. The
charge for the same service is now
less than hree-fourths of cent.

Since the PRONUNCIATION of tie Ne
braska Democrats platform the duty
of the sound money Democrats be-
comes very clearly defined. That
platform-the product of Mr.. Bryan's
own brain and pen-declares as en-
phatically in favor of free silver as
did the Chicago document in 1896.
Four years ago the free silver doc
trine was considered so pernicious and
so directly opposed to the CONNER
cial, financial and industrial honor
and stability of the country that
thousands were driven to forsake the
Democratic party. These thousands
held to the opinion that they could
not consistently support candidate

The composition of the new Board
of School Commissioners has not been

One wing of the Democracy favors

RECENT publications show that
large corporations or trusts are not en-
tirely made up of the rich men of Wall
Street. There are tens of thousands
OF the shares held by the working
classes who have invested their saw
ings in such stock, because they fore
see that tie economical administra-
ton of the affairs of these companies
should insure satisfactory earnings
and fair dividends even when bust
ness may not be as prosperous as it
is to-day.

feature of this transfer is Mr. Brews-
ter's complaint that Mr. Bryan talks
too much.
The action of the Indiana gold
Democrats in resolving to continue
their fight on Organism is rather wet
blankety to those politicians who
have been declaring that the pashage
of currency bill would render the
candidacy of the gentleman from
Nebraska more palatable to that
great class of Democratic voters who
have refused to accept the 45c dollar
issue.
The Hon. William Joel Stone, Of
Missouri, fears that the gold Demo-
Gratis may capture the Kansas City
convention. If such thing should
happen the Bryanites in the Demo
cratic party could Simply fall into line
with the Sioux Falls crowd. 1t will
be sure to make Mr.. Bryan its nomi-
nee, see The Chicago platform, and go
it a few points farther on political
skyrocketing.
WiscOnsin's wave Of prosperity was
represented in 1897 by an increase of
$9,951, 1927 invested in dozen OF the
principal industries of the State,
with an increase Of upwards of $13,-
100000 in the value Of goods made
and gain of $1,492, $50 in wages.
This was 8.72 per cent more than was
paid to wage-earners in 1896, and the
average yearly earnings of each
worker were increased by 1857.
Now that the gold standard is an
assured thing" explains the Demo
cratic editor, 1.-The country need not
be afraid of the silver plank we pro-
pose to place in our platform In
other words, this plank will be added
for the purpose of deception and not
as an evidence of good faith. There
is no discount upon the persistency
I'd consistency of the Democratic
p lrty when it comes to plain and
fancy humbugging. But do the peo-
pie of the United States want to place
in power a party whose hands must
be tied before they can be trusted?
The Porto Rican question rests be-
tween two principles. One of these
is in the interests Of the island alone.
The other is fundamental and affects
the whole country now and here
after. In the latter case-the consti-
tutional power to levy duties on Por-
to Rican products-any departure
from the right principle can not be
rectifed. Not a single step, once
taken, can be retraced. After the de-
bate in the House the necessity for
an Interpretation of the Constitution
is paramount. The principle of free
dom of trade, recommended by the
President, has yielded only Temporal
rily to the more important principle
that affects the Constitution.
The chairman of the Democratic
National Committee was one of the
great trust which oppressed the cot
ton growers of the South. The last
Democratic nominee for governor of
Ohio, and an eminent figure in the
councils of that party, has acquired
an immense fortune via monopolies
The men who dominated the last
Democratic Administration are to-
day connected with trusts of all des-
criptions. Yet the Democratic party
strives to pose as the great antitrust
organization. The trust problem
will be solved by the Republican
party just as all other great problems
have been solved by it. The Demo
cratic party agitates but does not
accomplish.

BISHOP POTTER has been to Mani
la. He was an Atkinsonian anti-ex-
pansionist before he went there, but
returns convinced that the United
States can give the Filipinos much
better government than Aguinaldo
can, and that our plain duty is to go
on with the work already begun. He
went, he saw, he was conquered.

THE British wall paper trust re-
quires every dealer in wall paper to
buy all stock from the combination,
and to sell no other, for period of
ten years. This is a pretty stringent
rule in a free trade country, where
trusts, according to Havemeyer and
the Democracy, couldn't possibly
flourish.
