During the Republican gathering in
the Mcclure House some peculiar con-
ditions Of the camp were disclosed. 1t
seems that the agent of the Postofice
Department and Senator Scott had a
consultation relative to certain local
affairs in the Wheeling p%ostofice.

ray Of multi-millionaires, with pracfi-
cally unlimited money at their COM
mand, and they can complete the canal
in less than eight years, deemed ne
cessary by the Walker Commission.
The present concession runs until
1919.
OF course, a prerequisite to this
scheme is the buying out Of the pres
emit French Panama Company, which
is offered $40, 000, 900 for its rights. II
the French company refuses to sell
to the American syndicate the CO.
lumbar courts, it is expected. will
hold that the act extending the COM
pany's concession from 1904 to 1910
is illegal. If the United States or the
American syndicate purchases the con-
cession it will be held to be binding
and operative until 1910. The work
of building cannot possibly be COM
pleted by 1904. 1t can easily be I'M
ished before 1910. The French COM
pany is in a tight corner.
Another reason why the ~long-headed
Morgan is so interested at this time
is his agents have discovered enor-
nous deposits of anthracite coal on
the Pacific coast terminus of the pro-
posed Panama canal. These deposits
are equal in quality and quantity to
those OF Pennsylvania. And beyond
the coal there are valuable mines of
gold. The ore is soft and easily
worked.
A fabulous fortune awaits the syn
dictate, aside from dividends to be paid
out of the canal revenues. If tie
canal is a total loss, the syndicate will
still realize enormous profits from the
mineral wealth of Western Colombia.
Therefore, it will shortly be up to
the President to decide whether the
proposed isthmian canal is to be
owned and operated by the United
States government or by and for a pri-
vate syndicate seeking to m%onopolize
the traffic of the world for it's own
selfish purposes and incidentally seek
ing to kill the Nicaragua canal plan
in order to exploit the syndicate's val
liable coal and gold properties in Co
1ombia.

The Chicago election was a great
victory for the best mayor Chicago has
had In many years-Carter Harrison.
The fight against him was dirty and
vicious and was carried on by almost
the entire press of the city, yet he was
reelected by Is, 1000 plurality. 1t proves
that the press is powerless when 1t
misdirects it's efforts to deceiving the
people. In such cases the people have
a way of taking the basic facts and
forming their own judgments.

death at the hands Of the poisoner.
One of them, a valuable setter, Queen"
owned by James H. Mcclure, of South

where she had been during the winter.

the poison.

THE CITIES ARE DEMOCRATIC.

1t is highly significant that all the
great cities of the nation-the special
ly enlightened centres of population,
where the mighty daily press directly
exerts it's enlightening energies and
where society is supposed to be in
closest touch with civilization and ad-
vanced ideas--it is highly significant,
that the greatest cities of the
United States are Ho-day almost all of
them overwhelmingly Democratic IN
politics. Only in the smaller towns
and villages and in the rural districts
as a rule do the Republican leaders
manage to roll up their majorities by
the liberal use of money and deception.
In the cities they make no Roadway.
Without c~onsuiting the record for de-
tails one can call off the great centres
of Democracy beginning with Boston,
the New England metropolis; then
comes New York, Brooklyn, Balti-
more, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo,
Chicago, st. Louis. These are a
few of the more prominent centres of
population of the North which are
Democratic in their politics. Philadel-
phia and P%ittsburg alone of the larger
cities are hopeless cases. Of curse all
the great cities and most of the smaller
towns, too, in the South are likewise
Democratic.
These facts are significant, sugges-
tive and worth bordering over.

name and address OF the writer.
TnUsT-BLIGHTED TOWN.

Those working men Of New Castle,
Pa, who voted for the apostle of high
tariff and the trusts last fall now are
guaranteed plenty Of time to ruminate
on the wisdom Of their action and the
uncertainty of human affairs when
dominated by trusts.
The principal industry Of New Castle
were the mills which were absorbed by
the American Steel and Wire Company,
which promptly shut them down when
that combine got into working order.
The workingmen have ever since been
fed on the promise that they would
soon be r%eopened. They were told
that they would be reopened when o n
tinued prosperity was assured by the
reelection of Mr.. Mckinley.
But now that the American Steel and
Wire trust has been gobbled by the
still larger billion dollar steel trust all
hope of the opening Of these mills has
gone glimmering. The other day men
came around the closed factories in
New Castle and nailed up the doors
permanently.
In the meantime a thousand work
men are walking about the streets with
their hands in their pockets and with
nothing to live on but the delightful
memory of the prosperity promised
during the late campaign.
