About the Saloon Business.

The old law in reference to
saloon-keepers, prohibited persons
engaged in the saloon business
from joining, and members from
entering the business, the law was
so framed that it was frequently
violated, as a member had to be
tried and expelled before he for
feited his rights under his bene-
fciary certificate. The law was
changed that a member who en-
gagged in the saloon business after
July 10, 1899, SuSbendS hfmSey
from all rights, privileges, etc,
forfeited his rights under his GER
tificate by the act of engaging in
the saloon business, without notice
or trial. There has been some
question whether the courts would
sustain the Supreme and Grand
Lodges in making such laws, and
in other changes, especially in re-
ference to hazardous occupations,
The opponents to any change al
ways urge the lack of power to so
legislate and a belief that the
courts would not enforce such leg
islation. A recent decision by
the appellate court of the First
District of Illinois, X x x clears the
atmosphere very materially upon
the disputed points and is very
important decision for fraternals.
1t holds that fraternals have power
to restrict the avocations of its
members on penalty of forfeiture
to the members beneficiary rights
without notice or without trial or
expulsion. The courts hold that
members already in the Order are
bound by amendments enacted
after admission This is one of
the most important decisions rem
dered in recent years and will en-

measures when found to be neces-

THE THREE REPUBLICAN GRACES-
PUTTY, DOODLE AND TEETH.

it is a fact of peculiar significance that
Mr.. Bryan could reply to the nOtifca-
ton committee in a speech bearing as
little trace of partisan politics as the
constitution of the United States or the
declaration of independence. This does
not indicate that Mr.. Bryan is not a
good democrat, but rather that the
democratic party is contending not so
much for certain theories of admins
tration in a free government as for free
government itself. Hence it is that,
fighting for the very existence of the
republics, the position of the patriotic
citizen who stands for free government
and the position Of the democratic par
ty becomes identical. Mr.. Bryan was
great enough to recognize this. Mr..
Bryan's speech al remarkable on &C
count of the things he said. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Canton speech was chiefly re-
markable on account Of the things he
did not say. The Canton speech abounds
in vague intimations and promises. 1t
does not hold out to the Filipinos the
f~aintest hope either of independence on
the one hand or of the freedom and
rights of American citizenship on the
other.
The voter has only to read so much
Of Mr.. McKinley's speech as relates to
this subject in order to find this state
ment to be correct. He will find some
thing about giving to the Filipinos as
much self-government as they are fit
for-as though the right of people TO-
600 miles away to self-government vas
not a God-given right, but a right to be
granted by some authority in Wash
ington. But he win find not the faint
est whisper of such a thing as indie
pendence for a people over whom we
have no authority except such as Spain
somehow is supposed to have had a
right to give US.
In MI. Bryan's speech, however, the
voter may find a pledge that if he is
elected he will convene congress at the
earliest moment to declare the nations
purpose:
First. To establish a stable form of
government in the Philippine islands,
Just as we are now establishing a stable
form of government in Cuba.
Second. To give independence to the
Filipinos, just as we have promised to
give independence to the Cubans.
"Third. To protect the Filipinos from
outside interference while they work
cut their own destiny, just as we have
protected the republics Of Central and
South Anerisa and are by the Monroe
doctrine pledged t. psotect Cuba"
THIS is a sufficiently clear and sue
ci,,ct statement Of the democratic po-
siUon. OF its correctness, of course,
there can be no doubt.

With what be significantly omits to say,

uumcisntly defines the Issue a. 70 the
Philippines.
The broa8er issue Of imperialism,
which includes that Of the Philippines,
may be stated thus:
Mr.. Bryan stands upon the doctrine
Of the declaration of independence, that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
Mr.. Mckinley stands for the utter
Reputation Of that doctrine and for
"the doctrine Of the thrones, that man.
is too ignorant to govern himself" and
must be subject to those who rule by
superior might and divine right.
Mr.. Bryan upon leaving indianapolis
went to Chicago. where he has been in
conference. with the leaders of the par
ty at headquarters. To say that the
outlook for the democratic party at
the present time is hopeful would be
putting it mildly. Mr.. Bryan's speech
seems to have put a new aspect upon
the campaign. kilograms of %congratu-

in '96, openly indorse Bryan, the OUT
look must be considered bright.
But these papers have not been the

militant democracy. Wherever large

Ing the eastern business interests ihhf
the belief that if Bryan is elected the
financial policy Of the country viii be
reversed
Bryan's datfooted declaration that
imperialism and not the financial cues
ton is the chief issue rather upsetl
these calculations. After Bryan's
speech Hanna changed his tune and
declared that the repU blicans were not
going to have any walknVer and that
it would take plenty Of money to de-
feat Bryan.
This administration has been 3 kind
guardian to all sorts Of special inter
ests. There have been no restraining
laws TO hamper trusts and even the re
sources of the treasury have been at
their disposal. On one plea and an
other Hanna is rolling up a fine cam
paign fund.
It worries the republicans though
that there is SO much apathy in their
own ranks. Their people don't seem
to take any interest in the Philadelphia
platform. In fact one never hears OF
it at all,
The business interests Of the country
are beginning to realize that impe-
rialism by unsettling the very founda-
tons Of government threatens all sta
BILE business. They are beginning to
realize that imperialism must be de-
feated and that no other issue matters
much until that is settled.
The official record Of strikes and
shutting down Of factories reported at
the Federation headquarters in Wash,
ington shows that the alleged mid
summer ]stagnation is really a reaction
from the republican prosperity which
has been so widely heraIded.

DISSERTATION or MONEY.
Increase OF Wealth Among Privi-
legged Ones Favored by Glass
Legislation.

The accumulation Of money in the
financial institutions of this country,
in a great measure due to the extor-
tions practiced upon the people, is SO
great that one of them announced its
willingness to take the whole of the
British war bond issue of $5O,OO0,000.
Others are equally anxious, though haV-
ing less money, while the general sub
scription amounts to more than the
whole issue. The time has evidently
passed when this country must look
to England for money. There is more
idle capital in America waiting for in'
vestment than there was ever before,
Notwithstanding the fact that the gov
eminent is expanding untold millions
abroad in a criminal war of conquest
with no results TO show for it. The
producing masses are toiling harder
than ever before and receive a less re-
turn for their labor than they did a
decade ago, though their expenses have
been increased through arbitrary ad.
vances in trust prices by fully so per
cent.
A rapid increase in wealth is notice
able among the privileged ones favored
by class legislation, while the produ-
cling masses are to-day in a far less
satisfactory condition than before the
last panic. The ~much-vaunted pros
perity is all one-sided. It does not ex-
tend to the common people, but Be-
mains confined to the classes to such
an extent that the immense accumula-
ton Of idle money must needs look for
profitable investment abroad. No one
will pretend to say that this is a healthy
condition of affairs. When the wealth
of a nation becomes concentrated in the
hands Of the few to the exclusion Of
the many, when the nonproducing
classes absorb all and leave nothing to
the real wealth producers, the time to
make a radical change in national af-
fairs is at hand. The legislation which
has created privileges for the few
whereby they are enabled to amass
enormous wealth at the expense of the
many must be repealed and equal
rights once more estabIished.-Denver
Post.

the past month the events have been
productive of much encouragement to
the democracy.
The dissolution of the gold democ-
racy at a regular meeting, and the
quick assimilation of all its inluen-
tiaI members by the regular party
marked the end of the truancy of
1896. When the Ohio Bar association
met in yearly convention a few weeks
later and the president, Judge A. P.
Laubie, a lifelong republican, de-
nounced McKinley's policy of imperial
ism, he found no dissenters, though
fully half the members were repub-
leans.
Quickly following this, DR.. Silas C.
Swallow, candidate for president Of
the United Christian party, addressing
his followers in a convention said: eff
we must choose between the two can
didates of the old parties, l must say
thatI should support a nan who clings
to principles and adheres to what he
believes to be right rather than the
man whom the people never knew
where to find on any vital issue" Ac-
cording to the press reports, this
statement was received with remark.
able expressions Of approval. During
the same week Father Heldman, a
prominent Catholic clergyman of Chi
cago, in an address before the Ger
man Veteran league brought the enc
tire audience to it's feet in a sponta-
neous expression of approval when he
scored the administrations policy in
the Philippines and Porto Rico.
In Ohio the detection from republic
an ranks has been especially marked.
The Germans who gave Mckinley such
strong support in 1896 are coming
over in droves to Bryan. Besides this

Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance at
indianapolis is without doubt the po-
iticahevent Of paramount Importance
in the present campaign. Mr.. Bryan
received at the hands fthe democratic
party the nomination for the presi-
dency. A partisan ~utterance upon this
occasion would have been pardoned-
nay, more, was even expected by the
country at large. Tradition and prece-
dent exist to Justify a candidate in such
a course, He of C6nton-Mark Hanna's
man-who was recently notified of q
nomination, took occasion to plead for
the principles OF a party and in the
of an administration. In multi
2arious terms he told what "we' had
done, and fairly reveled in the deeds of
"us." The republican party was de-
fended-even apologized for. And VIII
liam Mckinley accepted at the hands
of those who bore the stamp Of the re-
publican party the nomination for the
presidency Of the United States Mr..
McKinley's speech Of acceptance will
go down in history as the statement of
a party chief to his party followers.
But how different is the tone and tenor
of Nj. Bryan's Indianapolis address.
Mckinley spoke to a party-Bryan to
a nation; Mckinley plead the cause Of
an Observation-Disclosures the cause of
q people. Mckinley defended the prin-
ciples of a party; Bryan spoke in de-
tense of the principles that are at the
foundation of free government; McKin-
ley spoke as a candidate, but Mr.. Bryan
spoke as an American citizen.
