and that is that the republican leaders
are determined to have both candi-
dates for the presidency Of the pluto
cratic brand. Some of the republican
dailies are devoting whole pages to
boosting Judge Parker of New York
as the democratic candidate. They give
pictures of him, of his mother, his
wife, his daughter, his grand chill
dren and his residence They tell of
his farm, his polled red cattle and
the number of acres of land that he
cultivates. They give columns to a
history of his life, his wonderful learn
ing and his popularity as a Judge.
According to these republican dailies,
Judge Parker is an ideal presidential
candidate from every point of view.
AS Judge Parker has never in all his
life said word against the trusts,
never talked about Stacking cum
nlng," it may be that the republican
leaders have come to the conclusion
that they prefer him to the strenuous
Teddy.

Guarantee companies furnishing bonds
to young men in places of trust have
been heavy losers. Scores of trusted
employees who have served faithfully
for years have been demoralized and
taken money that did not belong to
them to gamble with. There is
saturnalia of debauchery all over the
country consequent upon the en-
thronement of Mammon. "Ye cannot
serve God and Mammon."

Rev. Alexander F. Irvine has been
dismissed from the pastorate of the
Plymouth Congregational church at
New Haven, Conn.,, because Bryan, on
one of his eastern visits in company
with a gentleman of that city called
upon him. The two gentlemen drove
to the residence of the minister and
several members of Plymouth church
saw them. A leading member of the
church told Mr.. Irvine the next day
that the church would not stand the
meeting with Bryan and so the pas
tor had to leave. 1t is said that Mr..
Irvine will establish a Peoples
Church" and begin his administration
May /. This is another evidence of
the degeneration caused by the de-
thronement of the God our fathers
worshipped and the installment in his
stead of Mammon.

The abolishment of passes because
of the Elkins bill has turned out just
as The Independent predicted. A man
prominent in the republican party and
a heavy stock shipper reports that
when he applied for the usual passes
he was refused, but was referred to
the legal department, where he got
pass not only for himself, but for two
friends. No passes will be given by
the transportation departments here
after. All that business will be turned
over to the legal departments of the
roads.

Ithaca, ~ Y, the other day voted
almost unanimously for the municipal
ownership of water works, there be-
ing only 80 votes in the negative in
the whole city. That city, which has
looked upon populism as being the
most dangerous thing that ever
threatened civilization, has been
forced to adopt that much of it. 1t
is only beginning. After a while
they will vote for the whole thing.

The conviction of Mrs. Lille of mur-
der in the first degree at David City,
Neb., is an astonishment to the peo-
pie of the state. There must have
been something in the evidence not re-
ported in the papers or no jury would
have found verdict of guilty. That
she dealt in options on the board of
trade seems to be the main reason of
her sad plight ~
&SsSS&SS
In abandoning the principles which
were universally taught to the young
fifty years ago and instead of pre-
senting them the highest ideals of
life, which is to live uprightly and
esteem that which is of good report,
we have taught them that the great
est thing in life is the possession of
money. The consequence is that the
millions who can never hope to be-
come millionaires by the ordinary
methods, have taken to gambling. Ev-
cry city in the union is crowded with
pool rooms and policy shops and they
are scattered through all the country,
while "get-rich-quick" concerns have
hundreds of thousands of patrons. in
cluding, so the authorities say, many
ministers. Chicago and other cities
are SO given over to gambling among
both the rich and the poor that the
crimes resulting from it are more
numerous than was ever known in all
the history OF the world before.
