Republican farmers in this neigh
borhood have some difficulty in rec
onciling the arguments of their
editors with prevailing markets.
Why it is necessary for Republi-
can advocate to assume that his
readers are fools and ignoramuses
is something we could never really
understand.
Perhaps it is true that the trust
question is not partisan one.
But why do all the trusts contrib
ute to the Republican fund and
mono to the Democratic?

Wild MAN.
Tho Famous Freak of Taylor
County,,

County.
GRAFTON, WEST VA.,-Harvey
Scrannage, tho lunatic who died
few days ago at the county poor
farm was probably the most talk
ed of idiot in the country. Scran-
nago was so years old, and of
powerful build, but had been a
raving maniac since boyhood and
was frequently written up by
special correspondents as genuine
wild man. He was so savage that
clothes could not be kept on him,
and he was confined naked in a
wooden cage, especially construct
ed for his accommodation. The
chief noises he made were to bel
low like bull or bark like a dog,
and the sight of strangers always
enraged him. He had been in
close confinement 30 years but it
seemed to have no effect upon his
strength.

Perry Miller, of this place, died
Sunday morning and was buried
to-day. The deceased was half
brother to Hon. Warren Miller.
His DEATH is quito a loss to this
community, as he was highly re-
spotted by all who knew him.

Reports of British brutality
come from the scene of conflict in
South Africa. Shooting prisoners
is British pastime The beef
eating full-blcoded Saxon is the
most unfeeling brute on the globe,

Gated, unrefined, coarse, arrogant
and cruel, off-setting these bad
characteristics by stole courage.
Without regard to the rights of
others, he has no fear of anything
human. Butchering savages has
been the general occupation of the
semi-savage Briton for the past
three hundred years. He has shed
enough blood to incarnadine an
ocean and saturate continent.
This occupation has produced the
logical effect upon the actors.
Murder of defenseless mon, if they
happen to be citizens of another
nation has nothing in it shocking
to the Englishman, but is regarded
as duty. The murder of Isaac

ions of British humor. They nev-

The people as whole should
have the greatest possible opportu-
mites in life. This is not the Mark
Hanna view, but it is the Demo-
cratic view. 1t was the. view of
those statesmen who wisely hoped
that there would "never be any
really great fortunes in America"
One of the ways to give the people
opportunity is to provide them
with circulating medium suftici-
ent in volume without initiation
to insure the easy movement of
commodities and their ready OK
change. The Republican party has
not done this. On the contrary, it
is trying to contract circulation
which the experience of December
proved is already contracted rather
more than is good for the country,

It has been said that everyone is
against the trusts, and that not
even the trusts themselves have q
word to say in their favor. But
this assertion is only apparently
true. There are many persons, it
is true, denouncing the monopo-
lies in order to curry popular favor
who are none the less bound hand
and foot to the trusts and owned
by them. Their denunoiation is
perfunotory, not genuine, and not
intended to hurt or cripple the
monopolies. It is easy to pick
them out because what they say is
all mere wind-like Mckinley in
his message; they suggest no plan
of reaching the trusts, and they in
tend to suggest none, but to deal
only in vague generalities. Their
denunciation is thoroughly in
effeotual, and intended to be SO,
and the trusts chuokle over these
pretended enemies. We have had
enough of these denunciations and
speech making. The campaign
now under way against the trusts
to be effective must suggest some
thing practicable; and anyone who
has any practicable suggestions to
make how to reach the trusts can
help in the cause.
