SEED FOR DEMOCRATIC HARVEST

The Hartford Courant and Washington
Post know little of the influences that
control the Republican party If they sup
pose it will pass any honest measure aim
ed at the trusts. The Republican mana
gers have succeeded so we'll twice in a
Doodle compaign that they think nothing
is needed but Doodle to carry elections.
The trusts furnish. the Doodle, and many
protective tariff. Repeal the tariff on
articles they control, and how much
would they chip in to elect Republican
Congress in 1902? Hanna is not going to
lose such campaign contributors-not II
he knows it, And so Mr.. Babcock, whose
views are sound and based upon the good
of the masses as well as upon needed
expansion of trade, will fail in his praise
worthy policy and if he stands firmly for
it will lose his position as a Republic
can leader.
What then2 The people will have
learned from Mr.. Babcock the Hartford
Courant, and the Washington Post, as
we'll as from the Democratic press, that
the Republican Congress is putting mil
lions into the pockets Of the trust in
payment of a campaign debt. While our
manufacturers are straining every nerve
to obtain foreign markets the people can
not be deceived by the Tetfch of sthe home
market" and led. to vote to protect lin
FAINT industries that have grown big
enough to control the government And
then? And then, the Democrats will wage
a vigorous cid time campaign for tariff
for revenue only and the position now
taken by Rabcock and the Republican
press will be a powerful lever in convinc-
ing the people that they must end the
rule of the trusts by defeating the party
that legislates money out of the pockets
of the people into the pockets of the
trust magnates. In. that struggle, which
is certain to come, the old time Democrats
will have the assistance of two powerful
classes: l. The Republican masses who
will not longer belong to a trust-ridden
party; and 2. Thousands of manufactur-
ers who see that their only hope is in
larger markets. They now see that,
whatever may have been the case when
this country could take all the products
of the mills and the factories, the time
has come when they must say of trade
what Wesley said of religion, The world
is my parish. They know that they can
not sell to othersypnless they buy from
others, and that freer trade is the hope
of all trade expansion.
Mr.. Babcock isl sowing seed fer the
Democratic harvest.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES.

Steps have been taken for the ANAL
gamation of all of the labor organizations
of the United States with the special
otject of operating against the trusts. The
lining up for the fight has begun, says
the Southern Tobacco Journal
1--WE suspect that McKinley's efforts
to add responsibility to the Southern
Republican party will continue to fail,
If he expects aid from such men as Wade
Hampton. He is barking up the wrong
tree" says the Charlotte News.
Raleigh can well afford to construct
a 500, 900 hotel. Being so favored in
many ways, with lines of railroads, To-
cality, attractiveness, and the place of
assembling of so many bodies including
legislature Supreme Court Federal Court,
political and religious conventions, State
agricultural fair, etc, it is a wonder
it did not erect such a place Of public
entertainment long ago. Necessarily a
great many people must visit the hand
some capital city in the course of a
year" So says the Wilmington Messen-
ger.

THOU ART THE MAN. =

Rev. W. NJ. Leftwich, Methodist pastor
at FL Paso, Texas is a preacher after the
order of Nathan. He is a boyhood friend
of President Mckinley and on Sunday the
preach. He chose as his subject, Trusts
and the Present Social Conditions Exist
ing in the United States" Asked why
he chose that subject, the preacher said
he considered it the most appropriate and
that he could have selected. And it was,
for, personally clever as the President is,
everybody knows that he was nominated
and elected by the trusts and that it is
largely because of his friendship that
they have grown and multiplied until they
are the greatest menace to national life
and individual prosperity. The preacher
was not fearing the face of man, but
was bringing home to the President the
sin of his public life. Accustomed to
honeyed sermons, approving his acts and
soft-soaping his conscience, it must have
startled the President as much to hear
the plain truth as it startled David when
Nathan said Thou art the man" O.,
for a race of preachers like Nathan and
Leftwich! Ii all our pulpits were manned
by such men, indifference, skepticism
and infidelity would not hold such sway
over the hearts of men.
Here are few extracts from the no
table sermon of this true minister of the
gospel:
When unrestrained selishness is the
Law of life, it's business, its society, it's
institutions, it's laws are anarchy and
atheism and its end is hell.
so long as the selfish greed for gold
is embodied in our civil institutions
and protected and fostered by our civil
laws, we will have financial and eco
nomic troubles, conflicts between labor
and capital, strikes, Instruction, law
lessness and crime, and with these the
unrest, uncertainty, insecurity and dis
asters that visit our country period
ically.
80 long as our vast fortunes are
built out of the wrecking of private in
dustries, and trusts, and combines and
corporations, with -millionaires of
capital make corners of the necessities
of life. and this is sustained by public
sentiment, and protected by law. our
land may continue to bring forth pIenti-
fully, our mines and mountains may
continue to pour their rich ores into
the lap of industry, our manufactures
may multiply in every State and country,
but the uncertainty, the injustice, the
oppression and the corresponding pow
erty and crime will continue.
I'VE see the rich man and. great cor
porations increasing their riches by rob-
bing the poor and then administering
large charities for the relief of the poor.
We see. great fortunes, amassed under
legal forms of oppression and extortiont
standing at the head of great philan-
thropies and endowing great institu-
tions, as if the selhshness of greed could
atone for its own injustice and cruelty
by bestowing aims. -

A WORTHY EXEMFLAR.

Some of the sensational Sunday papers
printed stories about Prof. Crook and
printed the pictures of three young wo-
men in the Latin Quarter in Paris who
claim to have been kissed and Rugged
by Prof. Crook years ago. 1t was a trans
parent piece of invention, but it served
the purpose to annoy worthy and honor
able professor whose life is worthy OF
emulation. Prof. Crook denies the Paris
cable, and makes a final statement of the
affairs which, while bringing him I'M
pleasant notoriety, has emphasized the
truth that we have among US teachers OF
the youth of America whose lives cotnport
with their teaching. Prof. Crook says:
lone day was talking with a young
man who had a reputation of being
wild, | was deeply interested in him, as
am in every young man and young
woman who come before me as students
in my classes.
II assured him of my deep solicitude
for his future if he persisted in the ways
he had adopted. He argued the ques-
ton with me and insisted that every
body expected young men to SOW wild
oats. He said every man did and that
they were the better and wiser for it
when they were older. He even quoted
Luther to me:
" Who loves not women, wine and song
viii live a fool his whole life long
Il lost patience with him and told him
he was utterly wrong, but he insisted
he was not different from what other
men had been at his age, and then he
said that perhaps if / were to look
back and remember some of my old
school days / might have little fellow
feeling for him. This called from me
the remark that | had not intended to
pose as an example, but that if he were
to follow me as a model he would never
smoke, swear, drink, chew, lie or firt
with women, for | had never done any
Of these things in my life
This young man told one OF his
friends of what | had said. 1t soon
became noised about and the newspapers
got it.
These are indeed degenerate days! It
is still q question at which to wonder
most-at the college professor, thirty
seven years old, who never sWore,
smoked, drank, chaWed or kissed a
woman, or at the world that stood
aghast when it found such a man.

Mr.. VIM. L. Royal one of the leading
lawyers of Virginia, Who as editor of the

ger Of trusts some years ago, has recent
~ made powerful arraignment Of these
modern outlaws of commerce. When they
have obtained control of all the neces-

who now defend them will rise up to fight
them, after the trusts have them bound

to destroy the trusts except by revolution.

After being out about three hours,
the jury in the case OF the state against
Everett s. Richards. brought In a YER
dict of guilty in the second degree.
Richards, who had been brought down
from the county Jail to hear the deoi-
sion. was i'll at ease and apparently de-
pressed. He made no sign when the
clerk read the verdict, but sat with his
head bowed on his breast. The penalty
prescribed by the penal code for the Of
Tense Of which Richards has been found
guilty is not more than five and not less
than two years in the state penitentiary
Richards win not be sentenced for sew
eral days.
AT the trial yesterday the defense en-
deaVored to establish the fact that
Richards was laboring under emotional
insanity at the time the crime was COM
self did not tend to substantiate the in
sanity theory. He swore that during his
conversation with Mrs. Richards he
threatened TO shoot himself: that he fir

told him she did not care whether he
killed himself or not and that when he
saw the blood he lost all sense of feel

WAITING ON TIE BOARD DR. FLINT MAY PRACTICE
APPLICATION FOR PAROLE OF
YOUNGER BROTHERS TEMPER
ARILY HELD UP
REPORT OF PRISON MANAGERS
Rt Was Filed Yesterday, and the
Matter Now Rests Entirely
With the Board OF
PardOns.

The beard Of pardons, with which body
rests the fate of Cole and Jim Younger,
has not yet decided to meet earlier than
their regular session In July. Gov. Van
SAINT said yesterday he did not know
when the-board would make a decision,
but it would. probably. in day or two.
He gave no intiination that a meeting
earlier than the one indicated would be
held. He gave no intimation that a meet
ing earlier than the one indicated would
be held. Attorney General Douglas, a
member of the board, however, seemed
to believe the board would meet before
that for the special purpose of consider
ing the Youngers' application for pa
role, and the board IF prison managers
official recommendation for the same,
which was filed at the capitol yesterday
by Warden Wolfer.
The recommendation calls attention to
the fact that the Youngers have served,
under their life sentence. more THAN
thirty-five years, less their diminution
which they would have been allowed by
law for good conduct, and that they are
therefore eligible to be paroled under
Section 7510 Of the General Laws of 1894,
as amended at the recent session of leg
islature. In other words, they are elig
ible to parole under the Deming act.
In it's communication to members of
the board of pardons the board of prison
managers further state:
This board is satisfied that their de-
pertinent during the entire period OF their
Imprisonment has been as nearly perfect
as is possible, and it is believed that there
is a strong and reasonable probability
that they will live and remain at liberty
without violating the law, and that their
release will not be Incompatible with the
welfare of society"
There is growing belief that the
board of pardons will decide to act IA
vorably upon the recommendation Of the
board Of prison managers, which will
mean to give the YoungerS their freedom,
as paroled prisoners. During the ClouGh
administration, when the plea for their
liberty was made, Chief Justice Start
opposed 1t and has ever since been gener-
ally looked upon as opposed to any effort
Of this kind. However conditions are
different to what they We're during the
Clough administration There was no
law then under which a life prisoner
absolute pardon or nothing. There is a
great difference between a parole and
pardon, since under the former the con-
Vict is still a prisoner just as if>he was
in the states prison. His general de-
meanor and movements are subject to
the rigid discipline of the state, where
as, if pardoned. he would not be subject
to any of these restrictions.
1t is believed by many, therefore, that
since the Deming bill made a regular law
for the paroling of life prisoners, the OPP
position, which was manifested In former
years against the liberation OF the
Youngers. Will be withdrawn.
