Change of Front.

The party organs are getting back
into line. The Chicago Tribune,
which Joined with the Inter-Ocean and
Times-Herald in original opposition to
the Porto Rican bill, now placidly as
serts:
"One great reason why the public
will placidly ignore the Porto Rican
question, which has at no time dis
turbed its equanimlty, is that the con-
clusion has been reached by it that
the measure which became a law
by the presidents signature is a SEN
sible, practical disposition of the mat
ter, approved of entirely by those who
are most familiar with the condition
of affairs in Porto Rico

The Ohio Method,

The latest exhibition of farcical op-
position to trusts comes from Ohio.
A concern in Columbus burned the
other day and then 1t was discovered
that il, carried 100000 insurance in
companies barred from deing business
In the State. The Ohio insurance com.
missioner promptly notified the COM
ranies that II they sent an adjuster
into the State to adjust their losses
he would be arrested. 1t must be a
queer sort Of opposition to the trusts
that will not permit them to pay their
honest obligations. - Fort Worth

oegeneracy of the Republican Party.

Once the Republican party stood for
great principles, once it had mes
sage for humanity, once its leaders
were men of conviction, once it be-
lieved in the Declaration of indie
pendence; but the finger of the corpor-
alton has erased every great motto
from its banners, and to-day the great
party of Lincoln sits meekly in the
market place and takes its Instructions
from the trust magnates of America.
Once it had conscience, now only
hunger; once it loved liberty, now it
worships the dollar; once it stood for
humanity, now only for plumber. Time
changes, men degenerate, and parties
rot. Cant is at n premium, and by.
pocrisy passes for coin. The creed of
King George has become the platform
of Mckinley, and Mark Hanna's dol
lar-sign breeches has become the flag
of the Republican party.-Hon. ]. P.

fhe Issue Is Simple,

THE great issue of the campaign
50 defantly furnished by the enemies
of the people and of their free institu.
tons is as simple as 1t is VITAL" says
the Washington Times. "In denying
to the inhabitants of Porto Rico their
unquestionable rights under the Consti.
tuition of the United States, the trusts,
and the political organization which
represents their sordid interests and
defiance of law, impose upon an Amer.
lean community, entitled to all the
privileges and consideration to which
citizens of New York and Ohio are en-
titled, conditions exactly like those
which England imposed upon her
American colonies, and which led to
the War of Independence. The British
Grown and Parliament Joined in exact.
ing taxation upon our commerce with
the mother country, just as the PAYNE.
Foraker act places taxes upon the
trade of Porto Rico with other parts
Of the Union. In both cases the excuse
was that the revenue so raised should
be expended for the benefit of the col
onies. In the first rebellion the Deciar-
alton of Independence and separation
followed. In the second it is presum.
able that the prosecuted and outraged
Porto Ricans are too weak to do more
than beg us to release them from our
cruel yoke, and to let them resume
their allegiance to Spain, under whose
comparatively liberal rule they enjoyed
happiness and prosperity"

Trusts Greater Than the PeonIe.

BY its action the Republican party
has declared that it places it's reliance
for continuing in power not upon the
people, but upon the trusts, who have
hidden it to perpetuate this outrage
against justice, humanity and the or.
ganic law of the land. In its hurry
to consummate the most indefensible
political crime 1t has ever committed.
not even excepting its theft of the
presidency, the Republican Congress
hurried through it's work like band
of conspirators Fastening to put out
of sight the evidence of some dread
full deed. But the sin will rise to haunt
them.-Kansas City Times.

The POTATO Harvest.

The potato crop this year will as a
rule be good one While the distri-
button of moisture is somewhat I'M
even, the crop has suffered seriously in
but few sections. The acreage is a full
one, probably exceeding 100000 acres,
and substantially the largest on rec
ord. 1t would be of course futile to at
tempt to present any figures relative
to yield per acre. The markets are all
amply supplied with early varieties
from the middle south and central
states, and the feeling is naturally
somewhat unsettled. In Germany some
rot prevails. in Belgium and Holland
conditions generally favorable. in Eng.
land and Scotland outlook variable.

Although living in a republic, yet in.

Although living in a republic and
having no need of an army, the cor.
porations of America are fostering a
military establishment, and the bull

For over one hundred years our
country grew great and covered the
land with cities, railroads and shops;
1t protected life and property and pun

ment by injunction was not heard of,
and the use of the military as a con-

The Die is Cast.

There is little in the Porto Rico bust.

American institutions. There is much
to establish the proposition that the ir.
revocable departure from Republican
principles has been taken. The United
States will do as republic precisely
those things that kingdoms and EN-.

And the foundation stone of our gov.

What else is to be expected Of an
Administration and Of a party that
are acting as the agents of the trusts
and of the money power but that the
wishes Of the people should be utterly
ignored? The evidence of the sale
OF the nation to the trusts exists in
many offshoots of the Mckinley
policy, particularly in the cases of
the Nicaragua Canal and Ship Sub
sidy. Says the Washington Times:
"The Administration, which is stern
~ determined that there shall be no
canal Legislation at this session of
Congress, is equally anxious that the
Hanna Ship Subsidy bill shall become
a law. To some citizens this may
seem strange thing. 1t is not. On
the contrary, 1t fairly represents Ad-
ministration consistency in Obeying
the commands and subscribing the pur-
poses Of the trusts. .a D,.
still, to the uniformed, the con-
trast presented may be not so interest
Ing as it is exasperating. Here, on
the one hand, is a great national as
piration represented in the demand Of
the American people for the Nicaragua
Canal Itimust go to the wall because
its enemies are powerful plut0crats
and corporations which will be gener-
GUS campaign contributors IL canal leg
islation is defeated, and not otherwise.
On the other hand, we have the Ship
Subsidy bill, whose beneficiaries will
dip into the Treasury to the tune Of
one million dollars year, and who. 1t
has been charged, are willing to pour
the loot Of one year into the Republi-
can campaign barrel as guarantee Of
good faith. . sH9 ~ G.h,
Some Of the opponents Of the Near
aqua, Canal happen to be among the
people who will share in the subsidy
millions. Success in smothering one
bill and tanning through the other
will enable the Republican managers
to catch them coming and, again, GO
ing. They will pay double. We COM
mend the spectacle to the voters Of the
country"

For Trusts Only.

Perhaps the most significant thing
in connection with the ship-subsidy
steal is that the Americans who want
to buy vessels and operate them under
the American flag without any SUBJ
Bidy, are prohibited from doing 50 by
the bill. The shipping business does
not need the subsidy. Every dollar
OF. that fund would come from the
people. The Whole operation of the
law will be to benefit few rich ship
builders at the expense Of the rest Of
the country.-Lafayette Qnd) Jour-

The entertainment of the "Band of

Thursday evening at the Opera House
before a good sized audience, and with
out flaw. When the curtain went up,

and girls. Their chorus songs, recita-
tions in concert, as well as singly and
dialogues were well rendered. When
Roy Tucker in the "Little Boys
Speech" " announced 81 am Temper
ance Boy" it'received an extra ap-
plause, not only for it's heartlness, but
because it received the endorsement of
the assembly. The program was Sc
selected and the execution all that
could be asked of the little folks.
The "Flag Drill'' was especially en-
joyed by the audience. They were
led by Master Baynard Fowler and
Miss Amelia Fisher, taking their
places in order at the tap of the dru m
by Master Delaney Moore. Miss Ber-
tina Price presided at the piano.
The superintendents, Misses Sue
Hudson, Anna Beckett, and Bertha
