Eight years ago the Democratic
party won the national campaign
on the Homestead strike, ever
since which time the managers and
leaders hail every strike with a joy
that holds a promise of victory.
News comes from Washington to
the effect that parties high in the
councils of fusion are hoping for a
strike, standing ready to do any
thing which will tend to foment
labor troubles the coming summer.
A series of big strikes would be
hailed by Bryan and his Demo
cratic orators as a godsend. They
want an issue over which they can
appeal to the passions of men Ia
boring under misfortune. Repub-
lican prosperity is worrying the
unwashed. What they want is
something which will upset the

The people of Missouri arc pay

per cent on certificates of indebt-

of Indebtedness originate, anyway z
Do they represent SO much money
taken by the state from the educa-

purpose was this money applied
Perhaps some of our Democratic
contemporaries can give us little
light on this subject.

From the St. Louis Westliche-Post.
Roosevelt's name will undoubt-
edly strengthen the Republican
ticket, particularly in the greatest
of states, New York. His pop
ularity is richly deserved. Like
Saul of old among his people,
Roosevelt stands head and shoulders
above most politicians of the pres
ent day. His political life has
proven him to be a man of ster-
ling integrity and resolute charac-
ter, qualities that take with the
voter. He has shown great ex-
ecutive ability in every public
position be has held, especially as
Governor of New York and assist
ant Secretary of the Navy. The
reorganization of our naval fleet,
which accomplished such astound-
ing results in the war with Spain,
was largely his work. His brief
military career during the war, his
daredevil attack on the strongly
fortified heights of San Juan, near
Santiago, grandly testified to his
valor and patriotism. His strong
advocacy of civil service reform
has strengthened him with the
most progressive element of his
party, and his warm sympathy,
repeatedly and openly expressed,
for the struggling Beers has en-
deared him to the masses. That he
will be an active and very import
ant factor in the campaign is shown
by the fact that he is to open it on
the part of the Republican party
on the eve of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. One does not
need to have prophetic vision to
see that the nominees of the Phila-
delphia convention will be elected
President and ice-President of
the United States next November.
Bryan will be nominated at Kan
sas City but he will be still weak
er candidate before the people than
he was four years ago, his reason
ing and predictions in the last cam
paign having proven erroneous.
The Republican platform is a strong
argument for the election of the

A Healthy Growth.

Estimates from the Treasury De-
partment show that the fiscal year
ending June 80 will be unprece-
dented in the history of American
commerce.
The total exports will exceed the
highest of any previous year by
$50, 100000. In manufactures
alone the excess over any year in
the past is 5000, 600.
The total exports for II months
ending May 81 were 81, 1856, ,214,534.
1t is expected that the total for the

The Bryanites are greatly dis
appointed in that part of the Re-

Resolution That Proposed to Turn the
Union Over to Debs.

MILWAUKEE,. Aug. 1S.-The Inter-
national Typographical Union to-day re-
considered the proposition of Delegate
Bandlow, of Cleveland, bearing on politics
and which was adopted yesterday. The
measure as reconsidered was killed, the
vote being two-thirds against its adoption.
The proposition called for united action
of the L. T. u. on the political field and
s~evering of all members OF their ''afilia-
ton with all political parties of the ex-
plotting class"
A resolution OF interest TO publishers
throughout the country was introduced by
Delegate Hayes. OF Minneapolis, and
adopted, as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
international Typographical Union that
subordinate unions should adopt c0ncilia-
tory measures at all times when hanging
their scale OF prices. and that before any
change In scale OF prices is adopted IL
should be submitted 10 all publishers who
are interested Also. that the international

5000. TO bring IL in good standing, after
which the case will come before the ex-
ecutive council for final adjustn ent. The

the Turks will be attacked and forced 10
acknowledge the supreme power or the
Mahdi in things spiritual. The nearest fu-
ture will witness unprecedented wars IN
the north of Africa. The
world is arming for final conflict, and Al
RIGA once more will prove the white mans
grave. That finally Africa will be subJu-
gated is undoubted, but many and many a
thousand of European soldiers will fall In
the desert, many and many a battle Will De
fought before, from Cape TO Cairo and from
Zanzibar TO Monrovia, the white man Will
rule supreme.
There is a strange curse upon every Eu-
ropean power that strives for a piece OF
Africa. The Dutch and the Engish, as
well as the French and the Italians, nave
lost some of their best sons in the mao
scramble for the diamonds and gold, gum
and slaves. The Belgian, a man OF culture
and refinement, turns into a brutal beast
and q human hyena in Africa. The En-
glish, with their love of freedom, sacrif1ce
thousands of their best sons to subJugate
the two South African republics. Ana
these, in their turn, having driven the
black man from their habitations, now pay
the penalty by losing their own indepen-
dence. The French will one day awaken
to find themselves with one of the most I'M
pleasant wars imaginable IN their hands,
with the whole of Algeria and Tunis in
revolt, while the Italians have already
withdrawn, defeated and disgraced by an
army of black people.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-England is thorough

ingly changeable course respecting the
landing of troops at Shanghai. Even the
semblance OF yielding to pressure by the
powers or the Chinese viceroy is regarded

heartedness.
British troops, after all. occupy the nerve
center of the richest region in China. which
sustains $50. O00.0 00 of people, and were land

w. Fenelon, one of Rhinelander's fore
most citizens, was shot at the Rapids
House office to-night by j. Bascom Rob-
bins, a salesman for the Chicago Crockery
Company. About 8 o'clock Robbins entered
Fenelon & Co.'S store and made a small
purchase of one of the women clerks. He
asked her to meet him after she left the
store, a request she resented. Mr.. Fenelon,
hearing the request drove Robbins out of
the store and pursued him to within a
block Of the Rapids House. Robbins ran
to the hotel and is said to have gone to his
room and procured a revolver. Mr.. Fene-

UP went to the hotel. AS he entered the
