Dark Prospect for Democracy iH
EVER Direction.
sd. LOUD Globe-p

HNNEN bANNNAhWhH
81. Louis GIobe-Democrat
According to ex-senator Allen Of Ne
( braska, 1.-The outlook for the national demo-
cratic party was never more hopeless than
Il is at the present time" That astute
politician is frightened and angered over
the great number OF democratic states
which are rejecting or evading the Kansas
City platform and candidate. After looking
over the field with some care he believes
that the general rejection OF the latest
national deliverance Of the democratic
party by democratic conventions in the past
two or three months "preoludes the posi-
bility Of defeating the republican party in
1904"
The author of this Judgment Is pretty
well remembered by a large element Of the
voters. He was among the most strident
Of the whoopers for Bryan in 1895 and 1900,
and he is a Bryanite still. He Is a populist.
or was in those campaigns, though we be-
lleve he has called himself a democrat re-
Gently. At any rate, he has a right to
denounce the faithless democrats who, In
many Of the states, are abandoning their
gospel OF the two recent oanvasses' and re-
pudiating their leader OF those days. Allen
shrewdly sees that this split in the democ-
racy means the defeat of that party in
ASuts \ 10 CitdE IRON MS tApttSSiOnS Nhnl
he will not support a man In that year who
rejects the democratic creed of 1900 and
1896.
OF the democratic state conventions
which have been held this year a little
more han half have either rejected Bryan
and the Kansas City platform utterly or
have ignored or evaded them. The division
is so near the middle, however, that, 1t is
particularly ominous. The Bryanites. re-
tain very nearly half Of the states, notwith-
standing the frantic efforts Of the reorgan-
izers in the past twelve months to efface
the democratic leader OF 1896 and 1900.
Probably Bryan will not be the candidate
Of 1904. The chances, in fact, are that he
will not try to get the nomination. But he
will be a powerful factor in his party In
the convention OF that year and in the
campaign. The present prospect IL that no
man who supported Bryan with any sort of
enthusiasm In either 1896 or 1900 can get
the nomination in 1904. On the other hand.
II anybody should be nominated in 1904 who
opposed Bryan in either year, or who. like
Hill and German, accepted him in the sec
ond of those years and secretly r~ejoiced
when he was defeated, Bryan and a good
many powerful members of his branch OF
the democracy will take the stump against
the ticket. From whatever point the situa-
tfon for 1904 is viewed, the outlook for the
| democracy is dark.

Creator and Creature.
Indianapolis News

There is a feeling among many good
souls that the creature is greater than the
creator; that the state, having once created
corporations, for example, like these coal
roads and coal mining companies. is power
less to do anything If they or any other
element or function OF society lays down
and paralyZes normal conditions and
threatens normal life. Such folk think
and honestly e~nough-that all that society
can do is to fold It's hands. the creator suf-
fering meekly until 1t shall please the
creature to permit II to resume its life,
That attitude OF mind strikes us as utterly
absurd. New occasions teach new du-
ties" new conditions demand new treat
ment. Society may be slow to establish
a new precedent, TO start on a novel course
But We have not the slightest doubt that
sooner or later it will md q practical and
easy way TO make It's creatures BE good

Now here is a curious and noteworthy
outcome Of the advance in prices OF meat.
1t is that In at least one town the gem
eral health has improved. BOston's SAM
tary officers and statisticians attribute the
general good health in thar city to the de-
cline OF meat as an article OF food, Tho
prices demanded by the trust fo- what the
laborer and mechanic till recently REGARDED

much smaller consumption Of II sat than

a compensating increase In the demand for

The presidents of the New York banks,
having international credit, find after
comparing notes that they have been
borrowing abroad from $135, 100000 to
$150,000,000 This fact has made them
more conservative since they found it
out. AS they have had to put up collat-
eral and as 1t is virtually a call loan,
it is safe to predict that this process of
liquidation in New York will go on for
some months at least, and that the
stock jobbers and merger boomers have
to face a long dry spell.

IVES TERN MONEY IN Nav YORK BANKs

IVES TERE MONEY IN NEW FORK BANKS
Nothing could be more unreasonable
han the complaints In financial circles
In New York that western banks, hav-
ing deposits there, continue to withdraw
them. The western banks are simply
depositors and have precisely the same
rights as other depositors. But the New
York banks know the familiar fact that
such deposits are regularly and inevi-
tably called home in the autumn, and
cannot ever pretend that the withdraw
ais nov are sudden and unexpected.
On the contrary, the western banks have
this year withdrawn their eastern funds
more slowly than usual, because they
have sought ia do everything possible
to relieve their eastern depositaries from
their speculative embarrassments. The
latter nave themselves alone to thank
for these embarrassments.
1t was formerly the boast of the New
York banks that they furnished the
funds for the annual marketing OF
crops and for any emergency TO which
the interior banks might find themselve;
involved. Such assistance has beer re
quired, but it is also true that the east
eTn banks have extOrted immense profit
on this business. Their assistance Ina
not been a matter of sentiment, but o
selfish business.

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

Rapid progress is being made in the
laying of the Pacific cable and the indi-
cations are that the promise of the com
pany as to the time in which the work
would be completed will be fully carried
out. 1t was promised that the line to
the Hawaiian islands would be laid by
November and it is probable that the
company will not be to exceed a month
behind that time. Two years was
named as the period within which the
line would be completed to Manila and
it is said that the company will, If there
are no unforeseen accidents, do very
much better than promised.
1t must be assumed, remarks the New
York Journal Of Commerce, that the
work will meet with no further obstruc-
tons from congress or any Of the execu
tive departments. The urgent necessity
that exists for direct communication be-
tween the United States and its posses
slons in the Pacific will doubtless lead
the government to use every effort to
advance the work. The commercial in
t~erests, also, that are concerned in the
completion Of the cable are constantly
growing in Importance and will of
course exert their influence against any
obstruction, should it be attempted,
since the contamination Of this enter
prise will mean a very decided saving
to merchants doing business with the
Far East. The Pacific Gable company
is certainly prosecuting this important
work with remarkable energy and di.
rect communication with Manila a year
hence is altogether probable.

Before the country busts.

And everywhere his e~loquence
Re-echoes through the hall.
He pounds the rostrum with his fist,
And promises with vim
Prosperity shall be our lot.

To keep us all from going to wreck.
