For president, William J. Bryan; for

These are the names which shall head

The placing Of the name Of Steven

by the peoples party national com

mendabIe and perhaps only wise move
that could be made. Such action is
clear to everybody as being proof that
the populist party is eager for reform
and willing TO fOrego their own choice
in the matter if only the hope Of a
change In the policy of the nation be
not lessened.
In the decision of their national
committee popuIists everywhere have
implicit confidence. And the men they
have nominated for the two highest
places in the gift Of the nation are
men Of untarnished records and clean
hands.

THE REPUBLICAN Position.

That jealous sheet, the promuIgator
and mOuIder of republican ideas in
Kansas, the Kansas City Journal, de-
MES editOrially in the issue Of August
Is, the rectitude Of the position that
Just governments rest on the consent
Of the governed" Here the republican
party takes of its liberty mask and
shows to the world its grotesque fea-
lures branded by the fiendishness of
imperialism. The Journal speaks to
Kansas as the oracle Of Hanna and Nc
KinIey and its utterance must be taken
as the authoritative design of the
administration.
Tt is plain to every observer Of events
that IN future the question of liberty
is to make itself recognized as the vital
issue. The two old parties have
changed positions; the republican turn
ing from its theme of liberty to sing
the song Of empire and despotism, the
democrat adhering more closely to the
rights Of the people, and to this party
It is that the hope Of the American
must cling.
The Journal attempts to justify its
position BY pointing to nations which
we're founded on force, excluding the
right Of the governed. But does the
commitaI Of wrong by one nation iusti-
~ the same action In anothers IF a
nation gave its consent to slavery
would that make slavery right? If

Facts About Prosperity.
New York Journal

It is a fashionable feature Of cam
psign argument just now to talk Of
republican prosperity" although legi-
innate prosperity ended with the dawn
of the new year. The effects Of inf1a-
ton, although still visible in many
quarters, are gradually subsiding, and
by next October our republican friends
viii be ready to talk of democratic
adversely"
During the past month the following
labor items have been noted: The
Washington Mills, one of the plants of
the American Wooden company, en-
pIoying 5000 hands, have been closed
down.
Eighteen mills Of the American Steel
company have discontinued work. In
the iron mines of the Lake Superior
and Menominee regions wages have
been CIT from 10 to 10 per cent. Out
puts have been curtaiIed $500, 600 tons,
and labor will suffer accordingly.
The rail mill, billet mill and furnaces
composing the plant Of the Lorain
Steel company, at LOraiD, o., have
/ closed down.
The Clinton Cotton Mills, of Clinton,
La, have ceased operation and the
output throughout the state has been
curtailed.
All over the country the railroads
report decreased earnings. This shows
more plainly than anything else that
the tide of prosperity is on the ebb.
The St. Paul, the Rock Island and
the Burlington showed a decrease of
| $4,000 in net earnings for the month.
The Louisville & Nashville earnings
decreased s13I, 81 and the Southern
Pacific s16T, 40.
/ When talking Of prosperity for cam
paign purposes republicans should not
fail TO mention these things, as they
may find occasion to forget later on
and attribute them to the effect of
/ democracy.

The failures in the United States in May, according
Dunns Review only the largest ever

total number only $751; and the liabilities but
SIS, 82o,686 This decidedly unavorable showing of
which Dunns Review fails to give any plausible explanation
The shOuters Of Mckinley prosperity evidently fail
take into consideration the above showing and the people of
the country viii wonder what kind of prosperity" that
records the ndPuabe fact of o47 commercial failures
month, involving amount Of liabilities than
times as large that of the period last year
The fact is that gigantic robber trusts which are
tered and favored by the Mckinley administration fore
ing mercantile firms and industrial concerns the wall and
the small merchants and manufacturers of the country
being ruined by them This may prosperity to the big
trusts but where does the general prosperity of the people

ers, whose action is upheld and never
denied, revolt against Great Britain?
Everyone knows that the best and
highest forms Of government are based
upon the voice Of the people which is
vOx del Freedom is necessary to hap
piness and patriotism, and the people
Of the United States now realize that
the tyranny Of the majority is generally
included among the evils against which
society requires TO be on its guard
1t is the privilege, it IS the duty Of
the American people to perpetuate and
foster the greatest possible degree Of
liberty for themselves and for the rest
Of mankind, and when it becomes evi-
dent to them that any party, be its
name whatsoever, Is trying to restrict
this vital principle Of human happi-
ness and welfare, 1t is imperative upon
them to forever put it down before 1t

Which Of the two presidential can

If one viii visit Walkerville, Shelby
county, No, gather together a circle
Of the old settlers Of that most pictur-
esQue and interesting neighborhood
and let them get wound up to story
telling, one may hear many amusing
anecdotes and bits Of interesting local
history.
The following account Of the origin
Of the familiar expression "Gone up
Salt River" was cleaned from this
fertile field during a recent visit
Many years ago, before the war, in
fact, a politician and of1ceseeker liv-
ing in Pike county, through which the
Salt river finds its way to the Mississ-
ippi, was a candidate for the legisls-
ture. Being defeated at the election,
he moved into Rails, the next county
up the river, where be again tried his
fortune at the polls, was again defeated
and again moved up the river.
In Monroe county he was a third
time defeated, but nothing daunted he
eanvassed Shelby county in his next
attempt with as little success as he had
achieved lower down the stream
From Shelby county he moved to
Macon, with the same result.
When any one made inquiries as to
his whereabouts, he was said to have
"gone up Salt river"

The Demand for Horses.

Almost every week the Horseman
says it has given reports Of the British
demand for American horses for war
and other purposes, and now it seems
almost certain that this demand may
reach at least $1,000 head for the year
1900, a greater number than this coun-
try has ever before exported to all
foreign countries in any single year.
Many people, even horse breeders, will
fail to comprehend the full signifi-
canoe of this demand. 1t means a
draft from our present horse stock
supply which We are poorly prepared
to meet. 1t means higher prices on all
grades Of useful horses, aud that even
farmers who find themselves short Of
work horses viii have to pay well for
such as they need to do their most
ordinary work.

- Trusts - yErominr.
rlIontpelier. L. EEaminer.l


The man who says that the trusts are
not a detriment ought to look at Wy
oming. It has hundreds Of thousands
of oil lands, capable Of producing as
much of this article as Pennsylvania
and Ohio combined, and yet there is
not a refinery in the state. Not one of
the hundreds Of flowing wells there is
allowed to ship a single barrel of petro-
leum for outside markets, and yet it is
the best oil, in many ways, ever discov-
cred. Why is this? Here's the answer.
Some years ago a local oil man asked
for carload rates over the Northwestern
line from Casper east. The rate quoted
was 1886 a car. He worked long and
fervently to have a better rate given,
but to no avail The Standard Oil
company exercised its influence, and
the Casper man was shut out. As a
result Wyoming today, an undeveIoped
empire within itself, lies dormant be-
cause local attempts to develop the
state were thrOttled by a gigantic trust.
What is said Of oil is applicable to
numerous other resources Of the state.
No wonder the people of that state
and elsewhere are hocking to the man
that offers them some relief. That
man is W. J. Bryan.

DeIagoa Bay Award.

The English claims and also the McMurdo claims against Portugal were referred to arbitrators now setting in Switzerland. The McMurdo claims at least grew out of the construction of the railroad from Lorenzo Marques to the Transvaal border This line was seized by Portugal, and the pending claims sprang up. MT. MeMurdo now dead was citizen of this country. It is believed that England controls, or will control, the McMurdo claims. It is also believed that the arbltrators will find that Portugal is indebted several millions to the claimants, and as Portugal is in a chronic condition of bankruptcy, no one can wE see how she can liquldate aghe Judgment, if one there should be. It will be a heavy judgment, if one at all be rendered against her.
 The finding of the arbitrators will be rem dered, it is said, about May 1; but before that time England will cease to want Dela- goa bay, as she has wanted 1t of late It's neutrality has cost her millions of pounds.
 But although the great need of it will be passed by May. yet the possession of Dea- goa bay will always be useful to the power that controls South Africa, and especially the interior districts of it up to German East Africa. After the award Is made Great Britain will likely demand Delagoa bay as security for its payment, and then step will lead on to step until It passes into the per manent possession of Great Britain. When of South Africa will be complete, especially after Lord Roberts finishes his campaign.
