both are machines, % if that word is to be applied
to political organizations. Both factions seek the
AID OF influential men, but neither side is for that
reason to be considered bound hand and foot to a
corporation. For years Iowa has pursued a Just
Polcy toward the various corporations. 1t is not
the purpose of Iowa legislators to so handicap
capital by popuistic restrictions that it will seek
other fields OF investment; neither has it been the
Polcy to allow corporate interests to Cypress the
people We prophecy that whoever may be nomi-
mated for governor this wise policy will not be de-
parted from 1t is just proper for any candidate
to seek the support of Mr.. Blythe or Mr. Hubbard
as 1t is to seek the support of Carroll Wright or
Mr.. Wheeler. There is no crime involved Thev
are all men of brains, intelligence and influence
and were candidate we should be glad to re-
ceve the support of them ALL We can understand
the lntemperance of the so-caed independent and
democratic press, but the republican paper which
SO far forgets its duty to its party as to indulge in
unjust attacks and nsinuations should call halt
at once.
MIR. w. !. Bryan has had another attack of men
tai dyspepsia over the recent ruling of the supreme
court in the Porto Rico cases. Mr. BRYAN is SUBJ
Ject to these attacks and although the people have
twice administered chloroform and have used the
surgeons knife with much nicely and precision
they have failed of cure, although they have
succeeded in placing him in such quarantine that
hei comparatively harmless. For ten wears has
he predicted S'demnition bowwows'for this country
and except for the brief period when his party was
IN control all of these prophesies have proven
false Such record would be enough to lar the
nerve OF any man and Mr. BRYAN is more to be
pitied than condemned.
The country has shown the most obst;
nate perversity in continuing to prosper in
spite OF Mr. Bryan We have really been incon-
sderate, occasionally business has failed or
prices have temporarily f1uctuated and have given
Mr Bryan some grains of comfort, but in the main
MS lie mas been one barren desert waste of glitter
ing prosperity Once, it is said, Mr. Bryan visited
the poor house of one of our larger cities and the
effect most beneficial Mr.. Bryan was compara
lively cheerful for at least two weeks and said to
his chum Caswe that in his rosy dreams he could
see this whole country vast poor house with
himself as boss pauper of the lot. Happy dream.
butrude awakening for just then the factory whistle
blew calling the working men to work for ever in
creasng wages and the rattle of the full dinner
pals grated upon his ear
With whitening, burning biting eoquence Mr.
Bryan has called Mr.. Mckinley an emperor 1t is
crushing argument, sort of solar pexus blow
and were 1T not tor the knowledge that he has the
confidence, esteem and affection of vast majority
OF the American people it would indeed be wonder
tul II Mr. Mckinley could recover from it, To
Mr. Bryan distorted vision it appears perfectly
clear that the supreme court is in collision with
Mr. Mckinley and that the end is an empire Mel
Their is this the first time that Mr. Bryan has been
afflicted by the supreme court. That court has
been no more consderate of his feelings than has
general prosperity There seems to be general con
spracy to promote the welfare of this country to the
despite and injury of VIM ]. Bryan The court has
decided thatthis country has right to control its new
possession in a sensible way. This is direct slap
at Mr. Bryans methods. The supreme court should
not have done this thing. 1t should have asked
Mr. Bryan, the devoted advocate of absolute liberty
Tor the Malays of the Philippines and of absolute
civil slavery for the colored people of South Caro-
lima, to explain his views and have acted in ac-
cordance Herewith. Mr.. Bryan in not htrd to-
please We believe that if he could have everv-
thing exactly his way he would be fairly we'll salts
fed AS it is the nation must endure the spectacle
OF this great advocate of liberty in some sectons
raging and tearing his wavy locks hinging epthets
at his beters, acting in many ways like the spanked
school-boy who is sure that his teacher is cruel
tyrant eagued with his parents for the oppression
of boykind.
The very meanest thing we have seen about Ben
Salinger appears in the Scranton Journal, which
quotes him saying, ssGarst has did too much
