A CAMPAIGN CANARD.

/ The open season for campaign canards
! just made its appearance tends TO give
some idea of the desperate straits in
which the Republicans find themselves
| for vote winning campaign material. The
| Republican party is on the defensive. Its
policies of imperialism and miIitarism
are being attacked so strongly that it
fears the outcome. 1t would like to make
prosperity and sixteen to one" the
leading issues. To this end it is doing
what it can to distract attention from the
real issues.
The lately promulgated canard, referred
to above, was sent out from New York.
1t alleged that the discovery had been
made that partisans of Mr.. Bryan. hoping
to improve the chances of his election,
attempted to precipitate strikes aud kin
dred disorders among the laboring class
es. The theory was that by bringing on
strikes. lock-ouls and other labor dis
turbances, the semblance of the boosted
prosperity would be destroyed, and there
would be a large disconnected element to
vote against the party in power. 1t has
been alleged that the workmen of several
large corporations, among them the New
York Central Railway. were approached
at the instance of Democrats by agita-
tors who used their best efforts to foment
trouble among the men.
This yarn, remarkable as it may seem,
has been given publicity by so conserva-
tive and careful a journal as the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger. II is charitable to
assume that it crept into the Ledger's
columns through the inadvertence of the
editors 1t is improbable that a high class
Journal, one which justly prides itself upon
It's reputation for fairness and accuracy
as the Ledger does. would Willingly and
willingly have given circulation to so pal
pable a canard a story having no su-
thority further than the broad assertion
of an unnamed correspondent that the
matter stated was true Absolutely no
proof is offered 10 substantiate the ale
cation. TO doubt for the cogent reason
that none could be obtained. 1t is prepos-
ferrous to suppose for one instant that
any of the leaders of the Democratic
party would give countenance 10 con-
spiraoy to bring on labor troubles, know
ing that such troubles would involve in
calculable suffering among many thou
sands of men, women and children be-
fore they could assume proportions large
enough to affect the national election The
Islander upon the party is as gross and
cruel as that uttered by Gov. Roosevelt
when he said that Democrats were cow
ards and shirkers

Nobody Is this country feels any sym
pathy for William Waldorf Astor because
in England by insulting Sir Berkeley
Milne. II is said that he has closed his
magnificent mansion on the Thames and
has offered his newspaper for sale. The
belief is that he has about made up his
mind to quit England. The question is,
where will he GO? He has given up his
citizenship in this country and if he gives
up his citizenship in England he will be
man without a country. If he should de-
eide to return to New York it is doubtful
if his reception would be such as to make
him glad.

Saving Himself.

Speaking of green reporters. says the
Salt Lake Herald, Col. d. g. Dodge, vice
president of the Rio Grande Western
upon the occasion of his last visit here,
told a story a the expense of the fra
ternity that will bear repeating
Some time ago, after an absence from
Denver" he sold, 81 was approached by
young man whom l had not seen be-
fore. to my recollection. How are you
&C lionel" he said, by way of Introduction
4 have been sent down 10 interview you.
Yes, l answered; what do you want
TO know?
We'll. 10 tell you the truth, 1 don't
know myself, answered the reporter.
We'll. that is strange I said. The
Post man has been down here and he
knew what to ask me, and l answered
him.
Well. tell me Just what you told him
and we VIII call it square said ths young
fellow, in a burst of desperate confidence. "

THE WRONG VIEW.

The Republican papers are trying to
make it appear that Mr.. Bryan and the
Democrats are opposing the Philippine
policy of the Republican party because of
theh sympathy for the Filipnos. The
New York Sun. for instance, speaks of
AIR. Bryan and his people flashing them
selves into indignation for the Filipinos"
We do not understand that the Demo-
Gratis are very deeply moved by sympathy
for the Filipinos. They are opposing the
imperlalistic policy of the Republican
party because that policy threatens 10
change the character of the government
of this country--to change the republic
into an empire. The Democrats are fight
ing for republican institutions, not for the
independence of the Fihpinos. Their
great concern is for the American people,
not for the people who are fighting Amer
lean rule in the Philippines.
OF course the Republicans are doing
everything they can to cloud the real is
sue. They are finding that they will not
be able to make silver the paramount is
sue of the campaign-that they will have
to fight the issue that has been made by
the Democratic party. Therefore they are
trying to mslead the people as TO what
that issue really is. There may be some
doubt in the public mind now as to what
that issue is, but there will be none be-
fore the campaign has progressed very
far 1t will not take the people long to
see the difference between a republic and
an empire. and TO understand that the
ultimate result of the Philippine policy
of the Republican party would be the
establishment of an empire on the ruins
of the republic.

One Of the political stories that ore
abroad in New York is that Gov. Roose-
welt has snubbed Senator Hanna, the
chairman of the National Republican
Committee. 1t seems that the governor is
not pleased with the senator's recent crit
icism OF his speeches and his style Of
dress. What hurts him more than any
thing else, however. is some remarks
which Mr.. Godkin. executor of the Even
ing Post. made about him. In recent
article Mr.. Godkin wrote: 1T grieves me
when ] hear the applause which greets
Roosevelt. Why is it so many attach i'm
portance 10 Roosevelt end consider him a
Statesman ana SOLDIER l cannot under
stand g. 1t shows marked decline of
public sentiment. Mark my word. Roose-
welt won't last long. There will be a col
lapse shortly" Then in discussing the
troubles in China, Mr.. Godkin said: you
know that erratic monarch of Germany is
the Teddy Roosevelt Of Europe?'

During the past week or two num-
Der of Northern Republican newspapers
have shown symptoms of the deepest an
guish. and almost despair for our civili-
cation, because of the plainly proclaimed
purpose of the white people of North
Carolina to take from the blacks the priv
ilege of voting and thus exercising the
balance of political power. But not one
of those Northern papers, so far as we
have observed. has had a word to say
in protest against the taking away, at
Niagara Falls, in New York state, of the
privilege OF the negroes 20 earn a living
by driving hacks and carriages. Whether
the black man shall be permitted to earn
a living by honest work is a matter OF
much more interest to him than whether
he shall be permitted TO cast a ballot. In
North Carolina the negro has been put
on notice THAI he cannot vote except un-
der certain conditions. AT Niagara Falls
in New York, he has been informed that
he cannot work If he comes into competi-
ton with white men.

Man and Woman.

From the Boston Globe.
Once Woman took a hint from Man.
And at the same time took his shirt;
If now he takes a hint from her
And take her shirtwaist, too, who
hurt?
Shall he be shamed? Shall Woman SHOW
More courage and more sense than he
Since her shirt doesn't, why should his,
Uncovered, shock propriety?
Shall Woman now monopolize
The comfort that a shirt confers
On humid hot humanity
When it is worn as she wears hers?
Why should he sweter on, nor dare
To dream that he's for dinner dressed
Until his shirt is all but hid
From sight beneath a coat and vest?
Must he still like a mummy swathe
Himself to suit Conventions rule.
While Woman-in the shirt she took
From him-conurives to keep so cool?
Twas thus one mortal cueried till
roasting day, and then he ran
The gauntlet of the guyers as
The bold, unblushing shirtwaist man!

The Georgia Academy for the Blind. At
Macon, is making efforts to ascertain The
names and addresses of all blind young
persons of the school age in the state
with a view 40 rendering them the aid
which has been generously offered by the

pupils now in attendance at the school
is smaller than. there is reason to believe,
It should be. No doubt many parents or

that there is such an institution in Geor-

III" says Gov. Voorhees, of New Jer-
sey, evidence can be procured TO show
that a plot TO kill King Humbert and
others was Matched by anarchists in New

cbsts are probably not worried in the
least by this announcement Many of
them are naturalized and have votes. and
there IS an election coming on in which
the Republican party will need every bal

Tom Reed and the Good Congress-

The Hon. Thomas B. Reed and the Hon

cottage at Grand Beach last Sunday, says
the Lewiston Journal.
you believe in prayer, Anos?" said Mr..
Reed
Il do" replied Mr.. Allen.
And yet, Amos, you prayed for my
success in 1896, and you know the result?''
said Mr. Reed.
II did. Mr. Reed" said the good Con-
gresham wiping his glasses, but you
must also remember the proposition / was
up against. Joe Manley managed your
campaign"
Mr. Reed was silent, but the good Con-
gresham opened his Bible and read aloud
chapter after chapter, and as he read.
something OF his childhood faith came
back to Thomas b. Reed, his face was
calm and peaceful again, and he dropped
to sleep.

he will not be a candidate for reelection.
When he entered the House he no doubt
had an idss that his prominence as an ex-

discovered that there are mere nimble wits

Mr.. Bryan has concluded the writing of
his speech of acceptance, and it deals al
most entirely with the subject of imper-
ialism. which the Kansas City platform
says is the paramount issue. This must
be very discouraging to those Republican

so industriously at work trying 10 stir
up a sixteen-to-one scare. The New York
Mail and Express. normally a very intel

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd) says:
"Silence sometimes has a significance
more impressive than speech Such is the
case when the man who was McKinley's
chief rival for the Republican nomination
in 1896, and who was elected Speaker of
the Republican House in 1897 says that he
is too busy a man to make any speeches
for the party this year. The election in
Mr.. Reeds own state comes next month,
and it will be the first time in thirty years
that he has not been on the stump"
Speaking of the adoption in North Caro-
lima of the constitutional amendment elm
mating the negro vote. the Philadelphia
Times Qnd0 says: For the present It
makes North Carolina overwhe lmingly
Democratic, but with the race issue elimi-
mated, that for many years has held the
whites in political bondage because of the
fear of negro supremacy, new political
lines are likely to be speedily formed in
the state and permanent Democratic SUI
premacy is far from being sure
The Nashville American Dem.) says
This is a free country and any man can
advocate what he WILTSHIRE trade. high
tariff, prohibition, common ownership OF
everything SOCIALISM, and still be within
the law. Anything but anarchy, for an
archy means without government, and it
means murder. The man that advocates
anarchy should be arrested on the spot
and expelled from the United StatesN Con-
gress should pass a law giving United
States courts power 10 do this.
The Hartford Comm Times CDem.) says:
THE anarchy which throws bombs ana
plots murder is much more startling and
shocking than that which overthrows So
clety by making cEvil officers corrupt. or
stealing elections. but ID probably does
less actual harm TO civilization, and those
who practice 1t are much more likely to
gay the proper penalty for their ofrense."
