Mallory. chairman of the Jelks conn mittee in Dallas, deciding that rather than conflict in any way with Johnston's meeting the Jelks meeting would be held at night.

TIE REMNANT or BRYAN1sM

The democrats Of Missouri have
Joined with those of Texas and North
Carolina in reafirming allegiance to the
Kansas City platform. This remnant
Of Organism appears very small when
placed beside the fact that the demo-
Gratis of a number of other states, in
Guiding two in the south, In their con-
vendons this year ignored the national
platform Of 1900 and made no mention
of the democratic candidate in that
year. The adherents Of the peerless
leader" can get little encouragement
from the declarations of those three
states, which do not reflect the general
sentiment ever among southern dem
ocrats.
There is no doubt that Organism has
to a large extent lost its hold in the
south. A prominent southern democrat
who has recently travelled extensively

said, 'by allying herself with the north
east and our people are coming to real

union of interests it is possible for the
south to carve out of the future a So
clal, material and commercial splendor
to which even the imagination cannot
set a limit" The decline Of Organism
would be more rapid If there was some
really strong man, someone having high
qualifications for leadership. among
those who are seeking the reorganiza-
ton Of the democracy.

TARIFF PROBLEM.

The tariff problem continues to be a
source Of p~erplexing trouble to Ger
man statesmen. Those who want du-
ties increased on nearly everything are
in the majority on the committee of the
Reichstag having charge of the revision
Of the tariff and they have just ag-
gravated the difficulties Of the situation
by increasing rates on a number Of ar
ticles which they think need greater
protection. This action has encountered
a vigorous opposition and the imperial
secretary Of state for the interior de-
clared against such changes in the meas
ure framed by the federal council and
expressed the belief that the bill would
never pass.
1t would probably be better for Ger
many If tariff conditions should remain
as they are, for If the demands of the
radical protectionists should be success
full the result would very likely be tarin
wars with other countries which would
be exceedingly damaging to German
trade. As was said by the imperial
secretary Of state for the interior, with
increased duties the commercial armor
may become heavy to fight in success
fully. Germany is not situated as the
United States is, having neither the re-
sources nor the Industrial development,
and she n expediently do what this
country may in the matter OF tariff
policy. 1t is very well to give her in
dustries protection, put the tendency APP
pears to be to go too far in this direc-
ton. The United States has perhaps as
great interest as any other country in
Germany's tariff problem, the solution
Of which will affect for good or Ill a
very extensive trade with that country.

WHAT WILL THE MEISURu RE

$3.50 OA
There IL some speculation as to what
will be the character OF the bill to
regulate trusts which Congressman
Littleield Of Maine is preparing. In
the hrst session Mr.. Littleheld intro
duced a measure providing for pub
licity Of accounts, requiring combina-
tons engaged in interstate business to
make a full and complete showing, so
far as consistent with due and reason
able privacy OF business. concerning
their and liabilities. the ex-
tent to which their capital stock is paid
up, the general character and extent of
their product and a number Of other
items. Not the least important feature
Of the bill is that which imposes a tax
upon such corporations as have not en-
forced the full payment Of their capital
stock either in money or some kind OF
valuable property.
It is assumed that the new bill will
proceed very largely along the lines of
the measure already introduced, with
such notifications and additions as a
more thorough study of the subject may
suggest. or the president and attorney
general recommend. The bill. it is
now understood, is not to be known as q
distinctly administration measure. 1t
appears that President Roosevelt did
not formally request Mr. Littleheld to
frame a bill for the regulation OF trusts,
but simply urged him 70 keep the sub
jeet in mind and to continue to press
legislation at the next session Of con
gress. Stll it is probable chat both
the president and Attorney General
Knox will be consulted In regard to the
bill, with q view to its receiving such
support from the administration as may
! properly be given. 1t Is said that the
Omaha daily bee., 1902-07-24

plan is, so far as any plan has been
formed, for the president to repeat in
his next message his recommendations
In regard TO trusts, probably at greater
length and with more emphasis. Mr..
Littlefeld will then continue to urge
legislation in accord with the views Of
the administration.
The position of the president in the
matter has been so clearly defined that
there can be no Misrepresentation re-
garding 1t. He believes publicity to
be the most essential requirement and
he thinks there should be governmental
regulation and supervision of the cor
porations engaged In interstate COM
merce. That he is entirely serious in
urging legislation for these purposes
there cannot be a reasonable doubt and
the efforts Of the opponents Of the adj
ministration to discredit the declara-
tons and the action Of the president
will have no influence with fair-minded
men. As to Representative Uttle6eld,
no one in or out OF congress has shown
a more earnest desire to secure legisla-
ton for regulating the combinations
and it is safe to predict that he will
make a determined effort for trust legis-
lstion at the next session OF congress.
