Ex.PresIdent Not Popular.

Most of the democrats in congress
sincerely dislike Mr.. Cleveland. They
cling to the view that he wrecked the
party and are disposed to resent any
advice from him as to the best way
to bring about rehabilitation, but this
view comes largely from the southern
wing of the party. The criticism oc-
casionally offered by northern demo-
Gratis is based on different grounds.
They believe thoroughly as a rule in
the sound money doctrine of the FORM
er president, but dislike him for the
qualities which some republicans
ascribe to Roosevelt-stubbor and
an aversion to machine politics. More
over there is firm belief in certain
quarters that Mr.. Cleveland is a can
didate for the democratic nomination
in 1904.
Those who feel no personal hostility
to Cleveland express the opinion that
his speech was timely and well con-
sidered in every respect. 1t was de-
livered with true Cleveland dignity,
was earnest in its expression for har-
mony and democratic rehabilitation,
and full of suggestion for democratic
effort. -Washington Post.

Gen. Smiths Punishment.

Gen. Jacob II. Smith, ''hell-roaring
Jake" has been reprimanded by the
president and placed on the army re-
tired list. He has been good fighter
in his day, but he carried the war in
the Philippines little TOO far when
he issued his famous order, II want
no prisoners, / wish to kill and burn:
the more you kill and burn the better
it Will please me"
This was a verbal order, but the
president in reviewing the findings of
the court martial that tried General
Smith characterizes it as incorporate
and not in accordance with the rules
of civilized warfare. That it was not
to any great extent carried into effect
is due TO the good Judgment of Gen.
Smiths subordinates, who with few
exceptions took a sensible. humane
view of the case and did not consider
they were under obligations to follow
the commanding officers instructions
to the letter. In the case of Major
Waller, who has been found guilty of
carrying out Gen. Smith S order, there
are extenuating circumstances, it
having been learned that by reason of
hardships and sufferings during his
forced marches through the jungles,
deprived of food and water and fight
ing insurgents all the time, his men,
tai faculties became unbalanced and
he was not wholly responsible for his
actions. Bend Tribune.

Accident Near Donaldson.

Charles Williams, brakeman on
the construction train under charge of
Conductor III. L. Greenlum, Thursday
afternoon at 5:45, while polling
cars at Donaldson, was caught be-
tween the stake and car, injuring the
chest and back, COMPRISING the lungs
and heart. Polling" cars is strictly
against the rules of the comany. The
company'S surgeon was called, whe
found the injured man suffering from
severe shock, and owing to the fact
that bis condition was considered too
critical to send him to Fort Wayne,
he was taken to the Ross house, where
DR.. Aspinall gave him his personal
attention until the reaction had taken
place for the better. The injured
man was taken on No. 20 Friday after
noon to Fort Wayne, to ST. Joseph
hospital, and if no unforeseen compli-
cations arise he will soon recover.

BRYAN'S SMILE.

While Mr.. Bryan was speaking in
Iowa town recently a local democrat
interrupted him by asking if he would
support the next democratic candidate
for president in case the national con-
ventiOn of 1904 should nominate a
man who did not vote for him in 1896
nor in 1900 and should adopt a plat
form entirely ignoring the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms or in op-
position to both.
Mr.. Bryan was ready instantly with
his reply. Leaning forward, with the
characteristic Bryan smile illumining
his face, he said:
''My friends, it has always been
considered bad taste for the sons to
gather about the table and divide the
old mans property before the corpse
is inferred"
Mr.. Bryan evidently thinks the
democratic party is dead, and he
wants the corpse decently inferred
before division of the party is made
He considers himself the custodian
of the party and believes the funeral
is now being held, and the corpse will
be inferred before the opening of the
campaign of 1904.
When the estate of the party is pro-
bated he hopes to get most of its as
sets and expects to be the leader of
the new yarty that will be organized
IN opposition to the republican party.

Shaw's Remedy for lntemperance.

The new blood in ,the cabinet is
showing disposition to upset some of
the old-time notions. The story of
how Secretary Shaw dealt with an en-
ploye who was in the habit of getting
drunk is to the point. This man had
been in one place long time. He had
deem dismissed frequently, but had
always been taken back because "they
couldn't get along without him."
He fell by the wayside on the Fourth
of July, and, as usual, was dismissed.
In few days the chief of the division
saw Secretary Shaw and suggested
that Smith be taken back.
81 thought we dismissed him, :"
said the secretary.
ave did, but we have always taken
him back because we can not get along
without him."
Suppose he should die?" said the
secretary.
''Then we should have to learn to
do the work he did"
swell, just consider that Smith is
dead. said the secretary.

Bryan Sends an Apology.

William Jennings Bryan has sent an
apology to the Tilden club, of New
York, for his public announcement
that he had received no invitation to
the clubhouse opening, when Grover
Cleveland and David B. Hill delivered
their speeches for party harmony. The
letter says in part:
Through the oversight of clerk
in my Office 1 did not see the invita-
tion sent by your club and didn't
know until last Wednesday that one
had been received. On that day / re-
ceived telegram from my secretary,
addressed to me al Aberdeen, S. D.,
saying such communication had been
found.
81 regret exceedingly that it did
not come to me before the time, for
while would not have thought prop
er to accept, l would have acknowl-
edged the courtesy and given my rea-
son for declining.
Harmony is only possible between
those who desire the triumph of the
same principles and politics. 1t is
quite evident that Mr.. Cleveland S
supporters are nearer to the republi-
can party than the democratic party. /"

Coal Strike Conditions.

The frank confession of suffering
among the miners is pitiful, but indis-
putable evidence that the anthracite
strike is disintegratlng. From no
source in sight, or likely to be discov-
cred, can the means needed to feed
the idle anthracite miners and their
families be had All that the soft
coal miners can contribute for this
purpose will go only very little way
toward meeting the needs of families
who have had no wage incomes for
nearly three months, and whose say
ings have melted under the drain of
daily expenses. We are sincerely
sorry for the unfortunate victims of
misplaced confidence in the leaders
who deceived them with promises of
impossible triumphs over their en-
ployers, and made them believe that
to ask for what they did not want and
did not expect would add dignity to
the position and help establish the
power of organized labor-New York

Labor as a Reformer.

Each party is willing to use the
labor organizations for its own bene-
fit. Labor has everything to lose,
nothing to gam, by hitching itself to
party go-carts. The men ought to be
free to vote with whatever party they
individually please to approve accord
ing to its platform and morals.
The labor organizations of New
York state have refused to permit a
saloon-keeper to be their official head.
This also is creditable. Saloon-keep-
ing is under the control of the law on
account of its too we'll demonstrated
dangers, as shown by the relation be-
tween intemperance and crime.
The people have right to drinking
resorts as regulated by law. But the
associations of the drinking resort,
with which gambling and other i'm
morality are VIGOROUSLY intimate,
are not of a kind to inspire an honest
man with wish to bring his sons and
daughters into them for consultation
about labor questions or other than
tipping questions of any kind.
Corrupt politicians hayc allied the
saloon Familiarity with the intrigue
and jobbery of politics. The saloon
keeper has rights which are protected
by law, but his employment is of so
dubious a nature on account of it's
associations that labor organizations
will be highly respected if they will
use their influence to diminish the
political activity of the saloon-keeper.
His business morally disqualifies him
to sit in municipal councils. which are
too much under debasing influence
without his help in debaSement, He
ought never to represent the people on
labor boards, on boards of education on
charity or benevolent boards.
If the organized labor unions of the
United States will lesson the domin-
ance of the professional politician out
side politics and of the saloon-keeper
outside the saloon they will confer an
ineStimable benefit upon the country.
They will find the benefit largest
within the progress of their own
Chicago Chronicle.

Corn and Oil Dealers.

1t is said that the discovery that
the Standard Oil Company was selling
the Gates coterie corn at the highest
price caused it to get out OF its cor
ner. The agents of the Standard had
told Gates that they were purchasing
for it's glucose works when, in fact.
they were buying the real thing to
sell and deliver to Gates. 1t was the
discovery of the game of the Standard
Oil Company to load the Gates COM
bination with real corn that caused it
to quit. Now Gates is amusing peo-
pie by saying that ''the Standard OIL
is an enemy to the country, so that
anything like legitimate business is
impossible.

The Wrong Theory.

All the late strikes of any import
ance seem to be for the establishment
of theory that can never obtain.
They are not for the preservation of
the right of labor to organize, not for
the recognition of unionIsm itself, but
for the establishment of the rights of
unions to dominate the business of
employers The coal strike in Penn
sylvania this year and the steel strike
there last year had that as the dOmi-
mating principle on which they based
their action. The strike of freight
handlers in Chicago had the same pre-
tense. The question of wages is Sec
ondary, the question of right to DOM
mate the acts Of employers is para
mount. With such a basis strikes
cannot win. Arbitration is absolutely
impossible in such an issue. Union
ism is all right in itself, in its effort
to raise the standard of wages and the
standard Of labor, but when it pre-
sumes to dictate to the employer his
policy of refusing employment to any
man or class of men it presumeS too
much and will fail from the moral and
industrial weakness of such a PROPOSE
tion.-Elkhart Review.

Hanna and Gompers at winona.

The people of this section of the
state will have their opportunity of
hearing Hanna speak at Winona Lake
the latter part of this month. but not
along political lines. Hanna has of
late attracted world wide attention by
his attitude toward and by his sugges-
tions how capital and labor can best
work to their mutual interests. 1t is
on this theme that he is to speak be-
fore the Winona Assembly, Monday,
July 18th. Additional interest will
be given to the event by the presence
Of Samuel Gompers, president of the
American federation Of labor, who will
speak following Hanna. In his line
Gompers is quite as much giant as
is Senator Hanna, as he has all the
great union bodies of the country at
his command. Gcmpers is as inter-
esting as talker as is Senator Hanna
and is one of the most accomplished
men before the American people to-
day. He is able to address his trades
men fiuently in six different languages
and can hold conversation in half
dozen more. This is of incalculable
value to man in his position, and
this statement gives some idea of the
ability of the man who yields the
Scepter of labor.

Hunting an Issue.

Chairman James Matthews Griggs
of Georgia, according to Washington
dispatches, has postponed the meet
ing of the democratic congressional
committee, called for today, until the
party leaders can reach some agree
ment on what are the issues of the
campaign. Meanwhile Mr. Grlggs is
to tour the West in search of an issue.
The democratic party evidently is
in state of great restitution as re-
CARDS issues. OF course, Senator Car
mack still clamors for campaign of
vituperation against.Isthe American
soldier. But al democrats of sense
understand thai it is impossible to
make the American people believe
that their own kinsmen are blood
thirsty brutes and parcel of Malay
brigands are whole-souled patriots.
Mr.. Griggs himself was inclined to
look on the trust as the paramount is
sue. But Senator Dubois. who has
retained from his former republican
affiliations some political perspicacity,
points out that while democrats have
talked republicans have worked to
regulate the trusts. Furthermore,
Mr.. Dubois remarks, in the vernacu-
lar of his adoptedsstate, Roosevelt
has jumped that claim, and there is
no use in the democratic party trying
to wash the tailings."
And so it goes all Ialong the line. OF
course, 16 to / will not do, for even
Mr.. Bryan has ceased to utter more
than formal protests against the crime
of '73. The. tariff can be touched only
in the most general way, for popular
memory of the disasters that followed
the last democratic attempt at tariff
tinkering is too fresh.
What the democracy most needs is
the confidence of the people that, if
intrusted with power, it will not
wreck the nation. The people wish
to be assured that democratic success
hereafter will not mean, as it did in
1892, the paralysis of industry. They
wish to be assured that it will not
mean, as it would have meant in 1896,
national reputation. They wish it
to be assured that it will not mean, as
lit would have meant in 1900,
the sacrifice of the fruits of war and
the hauling down of the flag.
When the democracy can show the
American people that it is animated
by common sense, common honesty,
and common AmericaniSm, it will
have no difficulty in finding issues up
on which it can command respect.
But until it gives these assurances it
will continue to be party without
issues, whose leaders are mere howlers

A New Prison Industry.

Some of the wheat-growing states
think they have discovered a solution
of the convict labor question by the
establishment of binder Irvine plants
in the state prisons. Binder Irvine is
an indispensable article for the farm
erS, the amount consumed in the
United States being nearly 200, 0OO,-
600 pounds year. 1t is all manu-
featured by trust, except what is
produced by three prison plants in
Minnesota, North Dakota and Kan
sas. and it is claimed that competi-
tion with trust product avoids the
objection of organized labor. The
Kansas Irvine plant in the state prison
was established in 1898 at cost for
machinery of $40, 900, and an appro-
priation for rrnning it. The result
was net profit this year of S15 1000.
and an estimated saving to the farm
erS of the state of the same amount in
the reduced price of Irvine. The
trust price of Irvine in Kansas this
year was 81, 200 Car load while the
prison plant charged only $4,000 a
carload. AS Kansas farmers use
about 100000 pounds of binder
Irvine every season a saving of or 3
cents ponnd is material gain. A
prison industry that antagonizes
trust and benefits the farmers at the
same time has something to commend
