A BOOMERANG.

The attempt of the Democratic
press to create the impression
that the insurance department of
the state was not properly con-
Quoted under the administration of
Governor Fancher has terminated
in failure. Facts and figures
shown by the books have been
quoted, with the result of bringing
discontinue to the Democratic
character traducers, for the reve-
lations are of a character to sur
prise them. They reveal that the
insurance department was much
more economically conducted
when Governor Fancher was com
missioner than under a previous
Democratic administration, a fact
which the Democratic leaders
would not have had brought out
for anything in the world and it
would not have been revealed at
this juncture had they not unjustly
attempted to cast suspicion on the
integrity Of a Republican opponent.
It is a plain case of the boomerang
returning and striking down the
throwers who get no sympathy
from honest people. The attack
on Governor Fancher was premed-
itated and without cause and it
is but right that his vindication,
which has been most complete,
should serve to humiliate his as
sailants. They deserve no better
luck.

tt is not within the limits of pos
sibility that any great reform
should be wrought out by the
Democratic party. Men do not
gather figs Of thorns nor grapes Of
thistles. Democratic leaders may
indulge in brag and buster when
discussing the trust question but
it can be depended upon that they
will do nothing more, no matter
what opportunity is afforded them.
Their whole object in the present
campaign is to secure a political
triumph, and it is with this end in
view and not because they have
any clearly outlined policy of pro-
ceedure, that they have raised the
antitrust issue and are declaiming
about it so vigorously. It is the
Offices they are after.

WOULD RUIN

The Inter- Ocean has previously
stated its belief that the election
of Bryan would prove a serious
MANAGE to the business interests of
the country, an opinion in which
it grows more confirmed when men
like Roswell. Miller, chairman of
the board of directors of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway, express similar sentiments.
Said Mr.. Miller recently to the
New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune:
eff Bryan were elected I am
sure there, would be woeful times
in this country. It ought not to
be SO, and perhaps Bryan would
not be directly responsible through
any act of his own for the upset
ting, Of all business affairs which.
would surely follow his election.
But the whole tendency ofindustry
in that event would be toward re-
striction of output, and trade
would be , ruined. Everybody
would be apprehensive, and with
that feeling pervading the business
world there would not only be no
incentive to go ahead and develop
plans but it would not be possible.
to start new enterprises. I believe
it is necessary to defeat Bryan to
continue u present condition of
well being"
Mr.. Miller says that he is not
particularly an admirer of Nc
Kinley, disagreeing with the policy
of the administration on several
points, but nevertheless he feels
convinced that the failure Of the
president to secure a reelection
would prove a sad blow to the
business interests and prosperity
of the country.

The committee on resolutions
at the late Democratic county
convention boldly charge the Re-
publican county officials with cor
ruption and extravaganza in the
administration of county affairs"
but evidently desired not to hurt
anybody's feelings by being speci-
fc. Which reminds us of a story
of a southern fellow up in the
mountains who got married in the
olden days and went by stage on a
bridal trip to Charleston. At the
hotel the waiter brought him cod
fish balls for breakfast. He had
never seen any. He supposed
them to be fritters. He stuck his
fork in one of them and took a bite
of it. He liked the taste Of it little
and the smell less. After several
frantic and unsuccessful attempts
to masticate and sequester it, his
stomach became critically rebel
lious. He took it out of his mouth,
slipped it under the edge of his
plate, and turning to his wife,
said: "Sally, the landlord looks
like a clever man and I wouldn't
hurt his feelings, SO we won't say
anything about it. but I'll be
id if there amt something dead
in that ar bread as sure as yer
born, and don't yer forgit it."

Returned visitors from the east
assert that there is positively no
enthusiasm for Bryan in that Sec
ton Of the country, If such is
the case 1t Is difficult to perceive
how he figures out that he will be
elected, for there is certainly no
great Bryan boom in the west.
He may anticipate that he has a
solid south behind him, but even
this is doubtful, although a matter
of no concern, so far as it may in
.huence the result of the election.
From all appearances at the pres
ent time the outlook for MI.
Bryan is, therefore, far less en-
couraging than it was four years
ago.

European jeers and sneers are no
longer in order. On the contrary
the American government is being
complimented for the resolution
and determination with which it
acted at a most critical period.
And it was that very American
zeal that saved the ministers, for
had the president waited for the
other allies to act of their own &C
cord, the united forces would have
arrived too late at Pekin. The
ministers are indebted for their
deliverance to the government at
Washington which insisted on the
prompt action which proved their
salvation.

CREDIT TO WHOM DUE.

President Mckinley is said to
have manifested considerable Joy
when reliable information came to
the effect that the allied forces had
entered Pekin and rescued the
ministers from their sperilous sit
hatdon. This was natural. The;
president is kind-hearted and
patriotic and naturally felt great
anxiety for the personal safety of
Minister Conger and his asso-
crates. Consequently II; il, not.
surprising that the anxiety Of the.
chief magistrate gave way to. a
feeling Of delight when the news
came that his 5countrymen in the
American legation at Pekin had
been delivered out. Of danger.
But the mere fact that the allied
forces had succeeded in their mis-
sion and saved the ministers was
not the only reason why President
Mckinley should feel happy.
The result was a vindication of the
good judgment and discretion of
his own administration which had
been impugned in the courts of
Europe. When the government
at Washington accepted in good
faith what purported to be a mos
sage from Minister Conger and
expressed it's belief that the minis
ters at Pekin were still alive a
loud guffaw went up all over
Europe and the president and his
advisors we're roundly jeered for
permitting themselves to be de-
luded by the Wiley Chinese.
The derision Of European states
men had no effect on the admins
tration, however, and the allied
powers were informed that a res
ouing force should be dispatched
to Pekin without unnecessary de-
lay, even though it had to be COM
posed entirely Of Americans.
This put a new face on the affair
and the other interested powers at
once exerted themselves to get the
expedition started and insure it's
success.
The result speaks for itself and

DEMOCRACY AND TRUSTS.

The present attitude Of the
Democratic party toward the
trusts furnishes another amusing
illustration of the hypocrisy Of
that political organization. One
would suppose, were he to judge
by the antitrust declarations in.
its platform and by the m%outhings
of its orators and newspaper apollo
gists, that Democracy has long
been arrayed against the trust
movement and had opposed it with
vigor and determination. This is
not the case however.
The truth is that asa party the
Democrats, speaking of them as a
national organization, have never
done a single thing to check the
growth of trusts. There is not on.
the statute books of the nation one
single antitrust measure that was
devised by Democrats or adopted
by the Democratic party when it
controlled congress. Whatever
antitrust laws are in existence
were enacted by Republicans.
True during the last session of
congress certain measures were
proposed by Democrats, purport-
eddy for the suppression of the
trusts, but in reality for political
buncombe.. The Democratic party
never had, has not now and pro-
badly never will have, any clear
cut and welldefneds plan for deal
ing with the trusts with a view to
suppressing them. In lieu of such
"a plan, however, it has devised a
cunning scheme for deluding the
people into the belief that the
Democratic party really intends
to protect them against the en-
croachments Of the trusts.
Nothing could be more, absurd.

counted wealthy if all his earthly
possessions were confined to the
stock he owns in the cotton baling

himself principally to Imperialism
rather than discuss the subject Of

alone to prevent hurting his best
friends. If

AN ARTFUL DODGER.

AS a dodger William j. Bryan
is just as artful as Dick Croker or
any other Democratic politician.
Years ago when it became known
that the great Tammany boss had
suddenly acquired vast wealth the
question, "Where did you get it?'
was repeatedly and persistently
hurled at him, but he always
lodged it, and the query remains
unanswered to this day.
Bryan has learned to profit by
Croker's example, as is evinced by
the manner in which he lodges a
leading and important question
put to him some time ago by the
New York Herald. That journal
asked Mr.. Bryan whether, if
elected president, he would in
struct his secretary Of the treasury
to discharge by silver payment the
coin obligations of the govern
ment.
Bryan not only refused to be
interviewed on the subject by a
Herald representative at the time
the query was propounded, but he
has refrained from giving any sort
of a reply since. In fact he re-
fuses point blank to answer the
question. ... ~
Were Mr.. Bryan the honest,
straight forward, unequivocating
statesman that some of his admir-
ers pronounce him to be he would
not evade this inquiry which can
be answered in a single word.
Why? Because he is afraid an
answer would cost him some votes.
Should he reply in the affirmative
no sound money man would vote
for him while a negative answer
would throw a chill over the Popu-
lists and free silver advocates.
And yet Mr.. Bryan ought to
answer the question. The country
has a right to know how he stands
on a subject involving the honor
and credit of the government as
this one does, and while he with
holds a reply, no citizen who be-
lieves that the integrity and good
faith Of the nation are to be held
~inviolate should tender him sup
port.

Mr.. Bryan is going about the
country trying to convince the
people that it would be all right
for him to haul down the Ameri-
can flag in the Philippines. Is
that the sort of man to elect to the
presidency? For our part we dis
trust the man who has any sort of
design on Old Glory.
