Keep History Straight.

Russia has sent to the United States
an agent to study our homestead legiS-
lation. In its earliest years the Re-
publican party devised the homestead
law that has attracted the attention
of the world.-Crosco Republican.
The principle of the homestead law
is older than the republican party.
The first homestead law was adopted
by the congress Of Texas in 1899, six
years before its annexation to the
United States. Thomas III. Benton
who died before the republican party
was born in advocacy of homestead
law for giving our extensive public
domain to actual settlers IN limited
quantities in support of the measure
said in the senate of which he was a
member:
"Tenantry is unfavorable to freedom.
The tenant has, in fact, no country,
no hearth, no domestic altar, no house
hold god. The fTeeholder, on the
contrary, is the natural supporter of a
free government, and it should be the
policy of republics to multiply their
freeholders, as it is the policy of
monarchies to multiply their tenants y
Under republican policies Iowa has
10000 tenant farmers, and no mon
archy on the face of the earth has as
many tenant farmers as the United
States nearly all of which came since
the adoption of republican policies of
government. Itgranted an empire to
railroad corporators, in alternate
sections advancing the price of the
section net granted away to $3.50 per
acre, thus exacting from the settler
the price Of the land granted to the
corporation.

one Of the greatest of the future. Win

one of the greatest of the future. Will
the old democratic party ever again
form a compact organization on that
issue? Is it possible for the democracy
of Whitney, German, Fairchild and
Charles R. Flint ever to harmonic
again with that Of Mr.. Bryan and Sen
ator Tillman, so long as industrial mo-
nopoly and the growth of the class
spirit continue in America?
Some people are asking what will
now become of Mr.. Bryan? AS ques-
tion of politics, that has very slight
relative Importance. The real ques-
tion is whether the fundamental issues
which formed the heart and soul of the
democratic campaign this year have
been settled forever in this country by
the republican majorities. Upon the
survival of those issues in the minds of
the great masses of Americans will de-
pend the character of the future devel-
opment of the democratic party. Only
one thing seems fairly sure. An effort
to make the party conform to the impe-
rialism, militarism and unrestrained
monopolistic spirit of some of its for
mer leaders and adherents would rend
it again, and probably increase amaz-
ingly the political power of socialism
in the United states.-Springfeld

JAPANESE SHIP LOST.
Over 121 Persons Lose Their Live.
in the Sinking of the Steamer
Tsukishima Maru.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 31.-The steam
er Rio Jun Maru brings news that the
japanese training ship Tsukishima
Maru has been lost with all hands,
numbering 121, near Namadzu, Japan.
She was long missing, and the war;
ship Midsaaha was sent to search for
her without avail. 1t was not until
wreckage from her, together with the
body of Capt. Matsumoto, her COM
mander, was washed ashore, that the
mystery of her disappearance was
cleared up. She foundered during a
typhoon at the end of November in
Surugz bay, sinking after striking
Senniwa rocks. Not one of her COM
pany escaped. The steamer Inushima
Maru was lost on December by
striking rock in Alaska bay. A man
was saved by a passing steamer, but
the others We're lost.
From Osaka comes news that the
bark Katokugawa Maru was lost off
Tosa province with all on board on
December 0.
The bark Kamiji Maru was lost on
December 4. The crew of is were
picked up after being in the boats
several days without food.

DEMocRAcY's FUTURE.
The Party Will Always Combat Imps-
rinlism and the Work Against
the Trusts.

"Will the democratic party" asks a
New York paper, nov be restored to
the control of its reason and it's con-
science, and furnish once more a real
opposition" Much depends upon what
is meant by Its reason and its con-
science" If reason" and conscience"
mean complete acquiescence in inpe-
rialism, militarism and the unre-
strained reign of industrial monopoly,
then the democratic party as whole
will probably never return to the con-
troll of its reason" and its CON
science" Part of it may return, but
not all of it.
The future of the democratic party,
1t seems, is already the theme of spec
ulation. No one can pretend to fore
cast it's development. There are many
and varied possibilities. The parallel
Of the liberal party in Great Britain
would indicate that, with the imperial
istic spirit unchecked. the democratic
party may break into fragments.
There are signs of this already. The
gold democrats contain large pro-
portion of the imperialists. while the
south, solid enough, may contain alto
gether too much genuine imperialistio
spirit and too much native contempt
for inferior races to be kept long in
support of an anti-imperialistic pro-
gramme.
Or, take the question of plutocracy,

subservlent to the Trusts.

Mr.. McKinley's first administration
was devoted to faithful service in be-
half of the trusts at the expense Of
the American people. Under no other
president had there been witnessed
SO complete sacrifice of the rights
of the many to the privileges of the
few. The American government was
transformed into caste government
the very evil most dreaded by its
founders, and against which they
most strenuously warned those who
should come after them. The result
has been a tremendous increase of
trust formations and trust power
so great that the combines were en-
abled to reflect to the presidency the
man who had so signally represented
their interests in the goyernment.-

"Make yourself an honest man and

MAKE yourself an honest man and
then you may be sure that there is one
rascal less in the world" Washington
declared: 81 hope l shall always pos
sess firmness and virtue enough to
maintain what ] consider the most en-
viable of all titles, the character Of
an honest man." In common honesty
there is no compromise. A man who is
partly honest is wholly dishonest. 1t
is the real common honesty that the
world needs, not only in it's business
but in its social life, its religion and its
politics, honesty that will do what is
right and Will bravely face every duty.
The man who has this virtue need have
no fear of success in this world, for
his reward in aterial gains as well
as in the higher honors of life is iust
as sure as anything can be in this world.
There never was time when the man
OF common honesty was so much in
demand, and there never was time
when common, honesty was so profita-
Bile. The trickster and the SINISTER
have their day and their hour, but they
are sure to be caught in the end. But
common honesty is for lifetime and
for the good name that endures long
after life is over,
