The Republican Congressional contest,
now in full swing, will not be decided
until the last ballot is taken in the Conven-
tion to be held in Green's Opera House,
this city, next Wednesday. Both Louden-
slayer and Van SAINT adherents are claiming
victory for their candidate, but to the
unprejudieed observer the battle may yet
be lost and won several times before the
peacock feather is bestowed.
Loudenslager has secured the powerful
aid of the Republican organs of the district,
excepting only the POst-Telegram, of Cam
den, but it is well known that the Repub-
lican organs are not representing the rank
and file in this contest Further, Louden-
slayer has the more or less potent aid Of the
postmasters, letter carriers in the cities and
Federal office-holders, with few exceptions,
while Van SAINT is supported by the State
Administration. Then Loudenslager's
campaign fund is swelled to great proper
tions by big contributions from the Ship
building Trust, the Oleomargarine Trust
and all the other combinations of hooters
that are now plundering the people.
Van SAINTS supporters, however, are not
dismayed by this array of money and
power, because they are not embarrassed by
lack of the former and, as an offset to the
influence of postmasters and revenue col
lectors, count on the support of the strong
labor unions of the district, the farmers and
the general opposition to Loudenslager that
has existed ever since his true character
became known.
The Democracy can view this contest of
the Republican factions with absolute
equanimity. The nomination will not be
the voice of Republican men-the freewill
offering of voters moved to party action by
a lofty sense of public responsibility, but
rather the result of infamed factionalism,
melted by money, office and power.

At the rate candidates Vansant and

The Essence of Democracy.

The essence of democracy is equality be-
fore the law. Is not the Jeffersonian prin-
ciple of Equal Rights for All, Special
Privileges to None'' violated when mere
handful of men, relatively to the whole
number, are permitted year after year to
use the taxing power of the Government
to heap up fortunes for themselves ''be-
yond the dreams of avarice,n from ex-
actions that are essentially robbery of all
consumers?
On the simple issue of prosperity il
self there is ground for contest on the
unequal division of its benefits. The aver
age cost of living has advanced from % to
80 per cent. within four years. The aver
age increase of wages has not been 10 per
cent. Is this an inequality to confirm by
ballot? Export facts published Saturday
show that our highly protected manufac-
turers are selling their products on an
average of 40 per cent cheaper to foreign
consumers than to our own. Is this phase
of prosperity" to perpetuate?
Prosperity is good, but freedom, equality
and justice are greater.

our long rides on the canals of Venice, and
| know that hereafter its memory will be a
boon in the stress of work.
Venice of old must have been glorious
place, but its days of splendor are gone,
leaving everywhere the work of ruin and
decay, save where the hotel keeper or rich
foreigner has rescued some old palace from
dilapidation. | have been deeply i'm
pressed in other places of Italy with this
condition of things, but nowhere as in
Venice Perhaps that is because I have
had day-dreams Of its beauty, and the
city is more in ones mind the CITY of the
doges.
But it is fascinating in its decay, most
lovely when darkness hides the rags of
poverty and the scars Of age, and the magic
lights of night reveal only its beauty. But
day or night its browning glory is st.

which lure the upward glance the culmin-
ating point is always Christ, the King of
kings and Lord Of lords.
So, too, one compares the Ducal Palace
with the Vatican. Tastes in such matters
must differ considerably, but l am not
alone in prefering the more solemn grand
eur of the palace of the doges, even If it
do lack those priceless art treasures which

ANOTHER ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS
Rock Island Is Building a Line From
Knnaas City 10 That Point

AdDBdS S1tt 10 Hdt
The Missouri Pacific and Frisco have
had for many years direct lines Of rail-
way into st. Louis None OF the other
Wichita railways could reach St Louis
except by their connections at Kansas
City.
These two routes being the most part
direct would Of course handle a good
deal Of the traffic for the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition, which will be held in
that city in 1904
When the Rock Island systems new
line, now building between Kansas City
and ST Louis. is competed, that road
bids fair TO become the popular line to
the worlds fair as well ss 10 all points
east via st. Louis. The surveys for this
new line have all been made and work
IS being pushed ahead rapidly at both
ends OF the route. Already over 100
miles OF the road is in operation out of
st. Louis and 1t is hoped to have the
entire line completed early in 1903.
The new line, known as The St. Louis
Line" is destined to become a most
important feeder for the Rock Island
system. This is especially true In view
OF the holding Of the worlds fair at st.
Louis The line when completed will be
one OF the short lines, If not the short
and St Louis The grades have all been
kept down TO a minimum and all curves
eliminated wherever possible to do so.
Heavy rails are being laid and extra pre-
cautions taken to make the road strong
and substantial in every respect, to
withstand the heavy travel which will
necessarily come upon its completion No
expense is being spared in its construc-
ton.
In ST Louis. as is well known through
dispatches published in the newspapers
at various times, the Rock Island sys-
tenn has secured <any valuable conces-
sions. A long strip of land adjoining
the worlds fair grounds was secured by
the road and will be used for tracks and
depot facilities. This gives 10 the Rock
Island a direct entrance to the fair
grounds and will permit the easy hand
ling Of passengers as well as make it
possible for passengers to go direct to
the fair grounds without changing cars.
The equipment OF the world fair line
has already been considered by the Rock
Island management. The cars to be
used will be the finest that can be pro-
cured and win contain all improvements
and appliances for safety as well as built
for the comfort and convenience of the
travelling public The schedule of the
arrival and departure of the trains at
both ends Of the route will be arranged
as best suits the convenience and quick
transportation Of passengers The man.
agement intends 10 make the st. Louis
line one of the best Of the western roads
and everything will be done to make it
popular with the public. 1t is evidently
the ambition of the management to make
this prominently the worlds fair line
