ship.

The jargon o: insincerity which OBJ.
scures all Mr.. Roosevelt's political
speeches is matched by the more
transparent hypocrisy of its official
conduct.
Thousands of democrats voted for
him for governor because he reproved
Tammany for not renominating JUS

Tammany failed to renominate for
party reasons. Justice Daily was de-
feated at the polls, the regular party
nominee being elected.

ma and the trusts. In Q stirring gs adj
dress to the American people the league
among other things says:
ut is deplorably evident that the en-
tire course of William Mckinley az
president of the United States proves
him to be distinctly hostile to each
and all of the principles and declara-
tions of the platform of the American
Antitrust league:
1T is notorious that his closest
counselor and manager is Senator
Marcus A. Hanna, the promoter of
many and the recognized political
agent and representative of all the
great trusts and monopolies of the
nation.
"The members of his cabinet are the
instruments of the trusts. His secre.
tary OF state is the special champion
and friend of British tory interests.
His secretary of the treasury is tho
subservient tool of the great banks
and the money monopoly of the word.
The platform upon which he stands
10 totally nerveless in its antitrust
provision and wholly void of effective
ness as to remedies suggested.
I'VE are convinced that William
Jennings Bryan is the uncompromis-
ing foe of private monopoly. His cour-
age is recognized as being unsurpassed,
and we believe that his resolve to lib
crate the American people from the
curse OF monopoly cannot be shaken.
I'm view of these facts, the Ameri-
can Antitrust league does hereby
indorse the candidacy of William Jen-
nings Bryan for president ana Adlai
E. Stevenson for vice president, and
pledge them the loyal and active sup
port of the members of the league"

this fall" very positively announced
Representative Thomas j. Bradley. OF
New York city, in Washington the
other day. There is nothing at all
surprising in this statement to the
student of practical politics and hu-
man nature. Let me explain: Bryan
wasdefeated by very narrow margin
four years ago because he was looked
upon as radical man; a man with
new and untried ideas and principles.
Hence the great commercial centers.
where the conservative element is in
control, opposed and defeated him.
For business, or wealth, is always con.
servative and very fearful of anything
like radical departure from old
standards and ideas. In other words.
money is always afraid of ANYTHING
it doesn't understand. 1t did not un-
derstand Mr.. Bryan and his ideas in
1896, and it therefore strained itself
to beat him.
This year, however, it is Just the
other way. 1t is Mckinley who has
departed from the ways of our fathers
and left Dehind hope of return to
the good old ways upon which this ma
tion was founded and built up; and
the wealth of the country, as usual,
does not understand this new thing.
Ind therefore fears it. 1t is Mckinley
who is looked upon as a radical this
year, and the great centers of popu-
lation and commerce will be against
him. He will be defeated, while Bry-
an, who has taken his old opponents
place as the conservator of the an
cient established institutions of the
country, will be triumphantly elected.
How about New Jersey? Why, in
presidential years New Jersey goes as
New York goes. Did you ever notice
that? Then you watch it this time"

on earth did the Philadelphia conven-

mere demagoguery, claptrap intended
to catch the voters, but not designed

SENITOR DAVIS DEAD.

Senator Davis died at eleven
o'clock on Tuesday night. Such
was the melancholy announce
ment by telephone on Wednesday
morning, an announcement which
falls with stunning effect upon this
great commonwealth, whose pride
he was and ever shall be. A great
light has gone out; statesman
whose place in the history of the
nation is assured, written well
toward the top of the immortal
scroll, has gone down before the
grim reaper who knows no distinc-
ton ofpersons. Senator Davis has
laid down his work at a time
when he was most needed in the
councils of the nation to carry'it
forward to its conclusion. No
man living can take up his burden
where he laid 1t down. he was
prominently the one person need.

ternational problems which are
forcing themselves in rapid process

But it is the sense of personal
sorrow that today overshadoWs the
people of Minnesota. Her greatest
citizen lies in state, and not until
the overwhelming sense of imme-
date affection shall have lost its
keen edge will it be seemly to dis
cuss his succession.

John Reeves, or Sims Reeves, as
he was known, the English tenor,
who died recently in London, was
probably the greatest singer the
world has ever known. He was
proficient in NEST every orchestral
instrument besides being fine
organist. He made his appearance
in opera as baritone. He became
the bes, known by his ballad
singing. He retained his voice
and sang in concert after he was

all his life with an infection of the

John Thompson, a Wyoming dele
gate for congress, got badly beaten
at the recent elections. In an evil
hour he made a public statement that
the woman vote was the easiest to get,
the easiest to keep and the easiest to
manipulate. These words ran like
wildfre among the women voters of
the state, and so exasperated them that
they turned out en- masse on election
day and cast their ballots against
Thompson.-Journal.
Which shows that Thompson
was pretty nearly correct in his
estimate of woman in politics. If
he had only said "lose" instead of
"get" he would have hit it. The
principle is the same, however.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
It is not expected that the city
council Wilde muchin the way of
permanent streetimproyemenrdur-
ing the next four or five months,
but that does not preclude its de-
Gliding upon policy, or plan of
action, to be enforced next spring,
and thereafter The HERALD has
strenously advocated the narrow
ing of the driveway in the resi-
dence portion of the city, and de-
voting more space to boulevards
on the sides of the streets setting
the sidewalks well out from the
lot-lines and ornamenting both
sides with grass and trees. The
objection has been raised that it
amounts to a donation to every lot.
owner along the line of the street
Of so much additional yard or
lawn. The position is not we'll
taken. The lot-owner already has
a tee title to the property, and it is
he who dedicates to the public an
easement for highway purposes.
A highway is primarily designed
for the convenient and unobstruct-
ed passage of teams and pedes-
TRANS; and when that is accomp-
lished what is left of the space
should be made as attractive as
possible. The appearance of its
streets is of the utmost importance
to village or city. They make
the difference between a pretty
and desirab place of residence,
or an ugly, bleak and undesirable
one.
The other point raised is that in
some places certain policy has
been established land it ought not to.
be changed. Why not? If mis-
take has been made is it necessary
to keep right on making mistakes
to the end of time? Why should
Improvements not be made in one
part of the city, even though
neglected in another?
Our streets are &c feet wide,
and 80 feet is wide enough for a
driveway, leaving eighteen feet on
either side to be converted into a
thing of beauty. A>Walk of six
feet would leave six on either side
of the walk for trees and grass land
in time such a street would be
beautiful indeed.
In a recent report to the city
council of Minneapolis, the city
engineer has the following recon-
mendation. which was editorially
endorsed by the Journal, and if a
thirty-toot driveway is enough for
Minneapolis, it certainly is for Sank
Centre:
In the matter of boulevards, Mr..
Sublette's theory is that % or 30. foot
roadway Is sufficient for all ordinary
street purposes in Minneapolis. The
difference between that and the pre-
sent width he would put into boule-
wards. The advantage of this change
would be the decreased cost of road
sprinkling and road repair and the
marked Improvement in the looks of
things With six or eight-foot
boulevard on each side of the street
trees could be SO placed that they
would not destroy the sidewalks as
they grow, and there would be ample
room to place the street lights outside
of the line of trees, where they could
better perform their mission of street
lighting. His idea is that thiSchange
should be made into the outside thor
oughfare when curbs are ordered.
There is already some agitation going
on among the residents of certain
streets to this end, and he looks to
quite a movement in that direction
another year.

DESERVED TRIBUTES.

writes the Chicago Record, from
Washington:
The illness of Senator Davis of Min
nesota, without considering the possi-
bility of death, is a calamity to the
nation, because, just at this time, he
is the most important man in the
United States senate. During the
last session of congress number of
treaties were hung up until after the
election because each one of them was
objected to by certain interested par
ties whoNexercise more or less politi-
cal influence. SIT is a somewhat re-
markable fact that Senator Davis is
the only man thoroughly familiar with
these treaties. He is the only mem
Der of the committee oh foreign rela-

Gated details and can explain the effect
upon our commerce and International
relations of the ratification of these

terrible revulsions it has procured
for the burdened people the relief
which the royal court would have
granted never. In Russia and in
Germany it stands as continual
menace to despotism.
But in this country of ours De-
mocracy finds itself engaged in a
different field. Here arbitrary pow
er never has been enthroned Our
form of government began its ex-
istence with an explicit statement,
made as strong as words could ex-
press, that sovereign powers rest
rightfully, and inherently, and only.
in the possession of the people.
The Declaration Of Independence is
q document vitalized by this princi-
|ple.
Thus Democracy in America
stands for the preservation of old
institutions rather than the inaugu-
ration of new. 1t has been forced
to admit by the political phases of
the closing days of the century, that
the establishment of government
of the people in America is not yet
an assured fact, however fondly it
has been dreamed to be, but is yet
really in an experimental stage. 1t
is still possible for it to meet the
fate which has terminated every
similar attempt since governments
began on earth.
That conceptions Of government
in the United States at the present
time are undergoing reversion of
type to the European forms from
which our ancestors rejoiced to have
escaped, is fact noticed not only
by observers in this country, but
also by such sagacious outsiders as
Goodwin Smith whose outlook en-
braces scope quite international in
character.
And it is no boyle man. Theories
like the SO called consent of the
governed theory, which had appar-
emily gained the unanimous approx
al of our body polite, are now
being actively questioned. And
they are not being obscurely contest
ed Men of recognized ability are be-
ing drawn into the opposition. So
prominent periodical as The Out
look in late issue regales us with
a breath of the 18th Century in an
astonishing assertion, fair upon it's
face but devilish in its possibilities,
that "just governments rest upon
conformity with the laws of God
and not on the consent of the gov
erned." How true and how false!
For it is precisely the argument
used by the old defenders of the
divine right of kings. 1t lets down
the bars again to that self-commis-
stoned Superior Class which for a
consideration will inform us what
are the laws of God and what are
not.
1t is probable that the young
American now entering politics is
taking the one side or the other of
a long drawn battle. Bryan may or
may not be be President of the
United States. He may never
again be candidate for this highest
Office. But Organism will endure;
and with apologies to the Crokers,
Platts, Dickinsons, Hannas and
other political manipulators- the
better name for it is Democracy.
Defeat will not subdue it. And al
though all of it's demands can not
be wrung from the timidity of the
present, still it will be successful in
attaining an approximation to it's
principles, whereby those who do
the real work in the world shall find
existence less fearful and more ofsa
boon for which to be grateful.
