Bryan on Harmony and Reorganization.

Ottawa Republican Times.
Mr.. Bryan's reply to the Vest interview is
one which covers the argument temperatelv,
justly and entirely. His analysis of the aims,
interests and spirit of the two Democratic fac
tions which the Missouri senator proposes to
harmonize upon declaration of principles in
accord with the Kansas City platform with sill
yer eliminated is one that will commend itself
to the Democrats who ''stood fast" in the cam
pai'u just past, and that will be found unan-
swerable by those who "stood opposed, but
who are seeking now the paIty's control. Upon
this subject, Mr.. Bryan says:
"The senator is anxious to secure harmony
but he will find that there can be no harmony
without the surrender OF every essential princi
pie of Democracy. The men who voted the
Republican ticket on account of the silver
plank are, as rule, opposed to the income tax,
and are also opposed to any effective antitrust
legislation They ere in favor of national
banks OF issue, and are also IN favor of govern
ment by injunction "a subject which Senator
Vest did not mention i'll his proposed platform).
Even on mperaIi,m, many of the gold Demo
Gratis have no fixed or definite convictions IN
tict, the only way to harmonize with the rcor-
ganiZ rs. is to allow them to control the organ
izalion and write a Republican platform. How
much is Senator Vest willing to give up in
order to bring the gold-corporation element
back? His platform is entirely too Populstic
to entice The dcserterS into the fold Perhaps
they might alloy him to wlite the platform if
will disregard the platform, as Mr.. Cleveland
did,

Z We MUST UPHOLD POLYGAMY.
No Field for Missionaries.

The following dispatch appeared in Monday S
Chicago Record, Herald:
San Francisco, Sept. I.-Congressman Hull,
of Iowa, who recently returned from Manila
and is spending few days in this city, declares
that if missionaries arc allowed to 90 to the
island of Mindanao, where the Moro tribe is
dominant, we will have ON our hands rebel
lion which will cost immense sums to suppress.
He said:
"At present, everything is very quiet in
M,ndanao, but if missionaries ever get down
there, there will be serious trouble. The Moros
are Mahommedans, and polygamy is part of
their religion. Just as soon as preachers get to
work among them, preaching against plural
wives, our difficulties will begin, and when
these people rebel, we will have our hands full.
They are fierce, warlike men, who do not know
what surrender means. Like all Moslems, they
are fanatica to the last degree, and will fight
for their religion till the very last. Spain never
made any attempt to govern them, and thus
avoided trouble. There are 200, 900 Moros,
and war with them would make our trouble
with the Fipinos look like child's play"

Beating the Lottery.

Ottawa Republican Times.
The FL Reno land officials have discovered
new and villainous graft that has been success
| fully worked at Ell Reno, and probably at Law.
ton 1t was discovered at Ell Reno last week
that the land-offce map had been tampered
with, some person or persons having checked
off fifty qrarter-sections of land which had not
been filed upon.
The officials say this scheme beats the numer-
Gus tricks that have been tried on the land
office. The theory advanced is that unscrupu-
lous locaters have, by sleight of hand, checked
OFT the quarters while pretending to pick out
claim for a client. Every one of the fifty
claims proved to be desirable. Honest home
seekers have thus been defrauded out of their
pick, for they make no inquiry regarding quar-
ters which have been checked off on the land.
office map.
The land-offce people at El Reno are doing
all in their power to locate the ofense, for it is
serious matter. Great stress has been laid on
the proposition of fairness, and, now, with
only third of the filings made, to have one of
the land-office maps show fifty claims more than
the total number of claims filed upon is most
embarrassing to the officials in charge The
fact that fifty claims wrongfully checked off
are found to be frst.class does not reduce the
embarrassment.

Recently, we published clipping from the
Oregonian, Republican paper, deploring the
fact that Rocke feller and others are turning
this country over to Socialism by compelling
all labor TO work more and more, to paw higher
and sti higher prices for oil, etc., and thus
pile millions upon millions in their Golfers
Here is the Hartford, Connecticut, Courant, an
administration organ, which says the coming of
government ownership ''is as certain as that
water will run down hill.
cit is announced in a serious fashion that
there is in con emplation scheme for an or
ganzaton similar to, but much larger than,
the new steel corporation, to own the controlling
interest in all the leading railroads of the coun.
try, and manage them from one center. Beside
this, the steel concern will be small potato.
There is such an organization already estab.
ished. Its charter was written in blood be-
tween I775 and 1881, and rewrttel between
1861 and 1865. Its corporate name is the
United States Of America. When the entire
vast railroad interests of the country are COM
bined, and the American public are at the ab-
solnle ii posal of a few managing directors,
these same American people will rid themselves
OF the dictaion by taking up the business
themselves. This is mos: undesirable out
come, but it is as certain as that water will run
down hill, or the mathematical proposition that
everybody is bigger than anybody. In all the
drift Of Socialism, no other force is pushing us
along so fas, aud so surely as the greed for
power and for the money it brings, exhibited
nv what termed the 'financiers' of the pres
ent dav."

THE S2n Francisco Chronicle (Rep) says
that when oil was discovered there, it was hailed
with delight as furnishing the great need of the
state-cheap fuel. But they reckoned without
the railroads, for they have virtually confiscated
the entire product of the wells by excessive
rates. You often hear the Chronicle nveigh
against the Socialists because, it says, they
want to confscate the property, because they
demand that the workers shall have all they
produce. But YOU can see here that the com.
mercial pirates whom it upholds, and who own
the state machinery in California as everywhere
else, are in the con6scating business. But the
rich can do no wrong. Take your medicine
like man, Chronicle, and swear you like it,

If it hadn't been for the private profit the
railroads insist on making out Of the business
of Transporting the mails, we could have had
