Rich Robbers.

Men like Carnegie and Frick appear
to have an insane desire to acquire
money beyond all necessity and even
beyond their ability to dispose of it,
either in a good or bad manner.
1t seems that they have lost all
ideas of proportion and possess only
the predatory instinct.
Not content with stealing the bread
from their starving operatives. not
satisfied with footing the treasury of
the United States by charging two
prices. for armor plate. not stated with
grasping double profits from their
patrons, these two men are now en-
gagged in an attempt to rob each
other.
And out of this attempt has come
light for the people on the dark and
dishonest ways of the Carnegfe-Frick
iron trust.
While claiming that to increase
wages a trifie would cause their trust
to work at loss, this Infamous com
bine has been making an annual
profit OF from $4,000. 1000 to $21.-
600, 900 sver since the Homestead
riots.
Such men are thieves and ought to
be wearing stripes and taking the
lockstep in the penitentiaries. They
are also murderers. for through their
greed came unnumbered deaths by
violence during the strike and myriad
deaths from insufficient food because
OF starvation wages to their en-
ployes.
Last.year the Carnegie-Frick com
bine made a profit of S21. 900. 900.
This wear a profit of $4,000. OOOO
is expected. The despicable mean
ness of these respectable thieves in
refusing To pay living wages ought
TO turn every honest mans hand
against them.
1t is a good thing that these rob
bers should fight among themselves.
They thus disclose the enormitv Of

bers named, as they were unable TO

ATHEIST is VERY BITTER.
Refused TO Allow His Children in School
Where God is Spoken of.

New York, Feb. 20.-Startling in
its intensity aud bitterness is the
atheism of Carl S. Bitner of this city.
Bitner, who is a member of the So
ciety for the Improvement of tie
Workingmen OF North New York. was
arrested under the truant law for re-
fusing to allow his children. OF whom
he has FIVE, to attend the public
school.
Arraigned in police court he gave
unheard of fanatical reasons for his
strange act.
He said he absolutely refused to
allow the attendance of his children
anywhere where ideas of a deity were
inculcated into their minds.
Bitner's arrest grew out of the TACT
that his l2-year-old boy left the word
God out OF a verse lie was directed
by the teacher to inscribe on tie
blackboard
He agreed 10 allow the children 10
20 to school if they could leave the
room when religion was spoken of.

Weyler Methods in LuZon.

A Filipino soldier is To be-
tried as an outlaw at Calamha The
charge il murder and assault with in

is that there is no Filipino Govern
ment and that therefore the FilipinOS
have no belligerent rights. 1t is the
same theory that kept the guns OF Il
firing squad in almost constant Use
under the walls of Cabana Fortress.
Havana, in 1867. The idea no
doubt, is to test Americas public
opinion and see whether it will toll
crate Wevler methods if they were
adopted in the Philippines. We are
quite sure that it will not; that Mr..
Mckinley will find that it will not
and then. with characteristic hvpoc-
risv, he will issue a free pardon to the
condemned and accept the felicita
tions of his party upon the broad
humanity which governs his every
act.

Gold Democrats.

Gold Democrats.
| Chicago Democrat.
Gold democrats OF the east are de-
nouncing Mckinley, whom they help
ed to elect president in 1896, and are
coming out strongly for united de-
mocracy in 1900.
Naturally they cling to their faith
i'll gold. but they are willing to let
that matter rest in allegiance, having
seen the folly of hoping for any good
to the people out of republican rule.
Rourke Cochran was the first of the
leading gold democrats to announce
his intention to support the demo-
cratic nominee for president this year
Now former Congressman Dewitt
Warner has followed the example set
by Cochran.
Il expect to support the democrat
ic candidate for president as against
Mr. Mckinley. | have no doubt that
the main issue will be imperialism.
don't believe free silver will cut any
figure. If | wanted fiat money, |
should vote for Mr. Mckinley, whose
career shows that he is at heart for
rag money and would promptly take
up for free silver or anythingelse that
a popular movement might demand.
If the democratic platform is sound
on what | think the vital issues of
the campaign-as | have no doubt it
will be- shall neither be scared away
from it by immaterial foolishness or
attracted to such a republican candi-
date as Mckinley by any professions
OF virtue whatever.
The platform that | want and
what | hope to get is: Anti-im-
perialism, free trade, the stripping
from private interests of every priv
ilege that they now hold through law
and prompt legislation whenever it
shall be needed to break monopoly
in any necessity of life or commerce as
fast as it shows itself"
There can be little doubt that the
democratic platform will contain the
planks desired by Mr.. Warner and
them should receive his
support.
Gold democrats should be chary
about stating an ultimatum. They
enjoyed that privilege in 1896, and
they now see with deepest regret the
evil results which came out OF that |
Course OF conduct.
1t looks as though the republicans
would force the money question upon |
the people, and in such an event the
democrats will not hesitate to pick |
up the gage thrown down.

Deserving Mckinley.
Chicago Dispatch .

Chicago Dispatch.
In the campaign of 1896 many
democrats, stubborn in their persona
convictions, bolted the Chicago plat
form and aided TO elect William Nc
kinley president.
That this was a mistake these con
scientious but ill-advised men are
now ready TO admit.
Among those who helped the Repub.
lican party to its success was Former
| Governor Chamberlain. IA soldier oil
the Union and somewhat of an in
dependent in politics.
In letter given to the public.
Former Governor Chamberlain says:
The real live issues so far as can
now he seen, are Imperialism and
republicaian party is hopelessly
wrong. Under Mckinley's lead we
see our government embarked on 81
current which is CARRYING us steadily
away from all our characteristic, his
torical and traditional moorings.
After discussing the nature of trusts
and showing their evils, he says:
But i'll any case, whether trusts
are or are not Il mere economic growth
the evils and dangers that come with
them are obvious. In either case and
under either view the republican party
is their natural and actual ally. Its
sordid spirit, its sOraid leadership,
its sordid methods all that gives it
present power and vitality make it
the party of trusts. Not one ray of
hope, only the thick darkness OF
despair, lies i'll that direction"
Coming from a man of political ex-
perience who voted for Mckinley,
these expressions have special weight.
But, after showing the venality of
the republican party, the former
governor turns his attention to the
question whether the democratic
pdl IL hioit dihSCiouS oildH IIie
republican. Apropos of this he says:
ITO me the answer is easy The
democratic party is the party which
can alone be looked to for any real
to Imperialism or to trust |
and by opposition to trusts | mean
their prevention, if need be, or in any |
case their proper regulation. Mr..
Bryan considers better man than his |
party. No one questions his personal |
character; no one would think of |
him below Mckinley in abil- |
ity, and | should rank him many |
degrees above. His political integrity |
his fidelity to the principles he avows
| think is az we'll assured as that |
of any politician now III sight. | |
deem it, therefore, fortunate that Mr.. |
Bryan is to-day the undisputed leader
of his party
Thus it is that the mistakes made |
by well-meaning men in 1896 are
being corrected in 1900. Tbs repub-
leans have failed to give the country
good government, they have proved a
menace to the rights and liberties
Of the people and they will be retired
rom public positions by the results
Of the fall elections.

said it was sound money and that
vas what he wanted. The man
wanted enough wire toput two wires
On one side of his quarter He went
o HuttOn's and figured on the wire
He got wire here last year at PIC "a
sound and was mad when he had to
pay 44c pound this year for the
same kind. The wire cost SD The
man gave the 10 bushels of oats and
$3.50 for the wire. Last year 40
bushels of oats bought the wire and
the farmer had $40 left The money
isvery sound when it buys farm pro
duets. Splendid money then. Takes
lots of oats and wheat to get a little
of it. The same money is not good
and sound when it buys manufact-
ured goods. Takes lots of money
to get a little wire and d few nails
