tratioms have the contrary effect?
An Oklahoma crowd took two
deap"radoes from the county Jail
and strung them up to a tree and
nearly strangled them. forcing
them to tell the whereabouts of
their pals and the l%atter's plans
Here is the rope cure for you. 1t
Is far NOR painful and dangerous
than the water cure and yet we
have heard no horrif:ed cries over
this incident from the Anti-Im-
perialist League, Why this
I discrimination against residents of
the country in favor of numbering
Filipinos? The EXCUSE for an out
cry in this case is far greater than
that offered by the disciplining
by Americans of Filipino bandits,
robbers and murderers.
An indication of the enormous
amoun of business that the rail
roads of the country are doing in
performing their part of the coun-
try's commercial activity is seen
i'll Il statement of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad showing that that
road has within the last year or
dered 254 new locomotives and
v 5000 new cars,
1t seems likely that Mexico will
adopt the gold standard, as the
fluctuations in silver, which is her
present standard, seriously hamp-
ers her business and commerce.
How have conditions changed.
Such an announcement four or
five years ago would have brought
forth a storm of comment and
explanations. Today it receives
scarcely a passing notice. And
this silver issue was the question
which the Democracy insisted was
paramount to all others. and that
until free silver was adopted by
the United States we could have
no prosperity and not even con
sideratIon of other problems. Is
the country ready to entrust its
administration to the keeping of a
party which is proven in a few
short years so lacking in states
manlike conservatism and sound
judgement?
The new Bryan cabinet has not
yet been slated. The cabinets
which were to have been, 1896 and
1900, will require some changing
for 1904. since several of the mem
beers have slid over into the octopi
class.
The Honorable James Griggs,
the new Democratic oracle, seems
suddenly subsidized. Possibly he
is simply gaining Roadway for an
mother series of full-head-on rush
prognostications o: Democratic
victory.
And once there was a Populist
party. And it was a great host
and swarmed over the land like
flies. And its captains were cloth
ed in long flowing hair sweeping
down over their breasts and legs
and they were armed with loud
voices which could have well been
utilized in signaling vessels out of
a dense fog But instead of put
ting them to any useful purpose
they used them to cry havoc and
calamity and other like things
which We're their delight. until
they attracted unto them many
who were dissatisfied with the ex-
listing order and who thought. be-
ing begui!ed by the wayside that
the Government should correct,
through Legislation, all evils in
the body polite But the good
mother genius of the people
arose and triumphed over the
isms, and crushed them down with
IA strong hand of knowledge other
wise known as horse sense, and
there came a better order of things,
so that now the Populists have all
shruuken away until in a state
called Kansas there are only left
seven of these creatures.
