The New York Post quotes a southern
woman as, saying: "" ut puzzles me how
the Rockefellers,> Vanderbilts, @Astors and
all the rest Of your multimillionaires keep
from endowing Tuskegee, So that Booker
Washington can give his life to his LIES
work" This same Alabama woman,
who has most of the southern whites

scribes Washington as the greatest man

that man who is so greatly and general
ly admired, who has demonstrated the
utility and success Of his work, has to
spend his time chasing a few dollars OF

No Hope for the Mossbacks.

Bryan and his hobby have been getting
some hard blows in recent democratic
conventions. Iowa refused to indorse the
Kansas City platform, Wisconsin ignored
it and the Endorsement it got in Ohio
amounted to nothing in support of the
free silver doctrine.
Yet the mossback, Bourbon democracy
has cause for festivals and fireworks
1t ought not to deceive itself with the
fond hope that these conventions mean
the return Of the good old days Of con-
troll of the democracy by few rich men
in the north and the southern whites If
it wants to know it's future let it study
| the Ohio convention and Tom. Johnson s
speech. There it will get the facts, there
it will find evil omens for ITSELF AS a
free silver mania Organism is dead. AS q
form Of radicalism it is alive and will
either rule or ruin the democratic party.
Look at Johnson's speech.
After charging at the trusts he said:
! "The money question also is national.
And let me tell You that this is no dead
| issue, as some would have us. believe.
| Dead though it is, in one form, it is
alive in other and more radical forms.
So long as Wall street interests dictate
our financial policies, the money question
cannot die. You know that I have never
accepted the doctrine commonly know II
as 16-to-1. I have worked with those who
| do accept it, because have believed, as
believe yet. that the. free silver fight
was the first great protest Of the Ameri-
can people against monopoly-the first
great struggle here Of the masses against
| the privileged classes. 1t was not free
silver that frightened the p1utocraticslead-
ers What they feared was free men"
There is some handwriting on the wall
for the mossbacks. Out Of the free silver
democracy Of Organism are growing other
issues Bryan's most devoted followers
now begin to understand that free silver
was a delusion and an Illusion. They took
1t up because 1t was the first and readiest
form, Of protest, the easiest means of i'm
mediately voicing their discomfort. John.
son understood that. So did the late
Henry George. Both fought with the free
silver phalanxes because in the Irishman's
phrase ''they were agin the government.
Both were against what is and for what
may be. Now, these radicals who have
controlled the democratic party for eigh
years are not converted into conservative:
because they have found that free silver
is not what they supposed it was.

There is an old story, old enough to be
retold, of an Irishmanswho did not believe
in a future life. SO sure was he of his
position that he used to make it a point
to attend spirftualistic circles to convince
the people there how seriously mistaken

thought about his error now. The Irish

MINNESOTA POLITICS

e Joel P. Heatwole is still nursing his
grievance against Governor Van SAINT and
the state administration. While in St.
Paul yesterday. he talked bitterly and
without restraint against the head Of the
state ticket. He says the governor is
meddling in congressional contests, and
that in the third he is managing the cam
paign of G. S. Ives Of st. Peter. This is
an ingenious story which was started by
the late J. s. Vandiver and taken up by
the st. Paul Globe. The fact is that Gov
ernor Van SAINT did not know that Mr..
Ives contemplated being candidate until
after he had filed for the nomination.
But this is not all, according to the
Mortified editor, who has another hot
story he is scattering by word Of mouth,
instead of giving it circulation through his
paper. He says that Governor Van SAINT
| is now laying his wires for the United
States senate, that he is interfering in the
legislative contests with that end, ant
using the power of the state central com
| mittee. to secure the nomination Of candi
| dates friendly to this scheme.
