and W. j. Bryan has been virtual
ly forced to do SO, but the two
wings of the party led by these
gentlemen, while they differ on the
money question, would unite on
the passage of measure similar
to the Wilson-Gorman bill.
tits doubtful at this time wheth-
er with such an issue the party can
be united. 1t was tried in several
States this year, notably Iowa and
Ohio, and the results were over
whelmingly against it. But it ap-
pears that our Democratic breth-
rem never learn lessons from past
experiences, and are going ahead
shaping the issue that has cast
their party on the rocks SO often.
If the Democrats can find no bet
ter issue it will be easy for the Re-
pnblicans next year.-Davenport

The statement of A. L. Fellows
that the Gunnison tunnel vii

FREE.TRADE PASSES.

"Protection is not only dead but
damned,' said Disraeli fifty years
ago, zone might as well try to re-
suscitate burned vampire" But
for the object lesson, incident to
these words, of the futility of all
political prophecy, they might be
applied as they stand to Free
Trade. Free Trade is dead every
where except in England, there it
is dying. and in its last moments
it is being damned as the vampire
that has been stcalthily sapping
the life blood of insular trade.
No economic doctrine once
widely current has been so discred-
tied both blythe preachments and
the practice of this day as Free
Trade is now. Golden predicted

COLOMBIA WILL NOT
Be ATTACKED

The policy of the administration
to refrain from taking the initia.
tive in connection with possible
hostilities on the isthmus is right
The United States marines were
not landed at Panama for the pur,
pose of making war on Colombia,
but solely to guard the indepen-
dence of the new republic and
keep the highway across the 18TH
mus open to travel.
If there is to be any fighting it
will be begun by Colombia. That
country can avoid hostiIities by
letting Panama alone, and it should
recognize this as the wise course
to pursue. The United States is
bound to protect. Panama against
aggression and maintain its inde-
pendence, but i. is under no obli-
CATION to make aggressive war on
Colombia and it has no intention
to begin the fighting. If, howev-
cr, Colombia attacks either the
American or the Panama forces,
our marines and warships will re
sist with all the strength that may
be needed. -,-a
The fact that many other coun-
tries besides the United States have
recognized the facto government
in Panama should demonstrate to
Colombia that the revolution is an
accomplished fact to which it
should submit. The republic of
Panama has come into existence
because the people desired to cs-
tablish government of their own,
and it will remain in spite of any
thing that Colombia may do. For
Colombia to force hostilities will
be but to sacrifice the lives of
many of its men and expend a
large amount of money that could
be put to profitable use in peace
full ways.
The great central fact of all is
that the people of Panama estab-
lished an independent government,
pra ct ly without opposition
from any one residing in Panama,
and that they have entered into
engagements with the United
States which place this country un-
der an obligation to help them
III aintain their independence
against Colombia or amy other
power that may be disposed to
trespass upon their rights. Den,

For several months past the La
borer has been making constant
personal attack upon Mr.. Shippee,
our efficient night marshal. There
does not seem to be any particular
reason for these attacks, yet week
after week this old gentleman and
soldier has been held up for ridi-
cule by monkey-faced "galoot'
that will never stand as high in
this or any other community as
Mr.. Shippee does. If there is any
thing that ahows less principle Or
more cowardice than such con-
tenptible attacks we would like to
know what it is.

THE FATAL OLD issue.

While the avowcd intention of
the Democrats is to make Tariff
the issue in the next Presidential
campaign, they are finding it diff
iicult to bring the several elements
in the party together on the qucs-
ton of protection and Free trade.
Thousands of Democrats are not
in favor of opening the gates Of
this country to the competition Of
the world. They remember this
was tried some years ago with dis
astrous results to American in
dustries, and that Tariff for rev
enue only-which is really Free
Trade-forced the Government to
borrow money on bonds at exhorb-
itant rates Of interest, because the
revenues were insufficient to meet
actuai eAPehecs'
During his last term as Presi-

oring sound money in a measure,
which is to his credit, was al
avowed Frce-trader, and is SO to-

Indian Bride Let Her Husband In for
Substantial Damages.
1t Is told Of an Alaskan adventurer
that he chose a bride from one Of the
Indian tribes toward the Chilcoot
Pass. took her to a large and stately
hotel in a Canadian city. and one day
left her alone in their rooms while he
went out for while. He stayed long.
er than he had intended. and she
missed him. Finally It became intoh
cradle. and she glided forth in search
Of him. without paying any attention
to the elevator. After a while some
one remarked peculiar traces on the
balusters and doors, when It trans
pired that the Indian bride had blazed
a trail By which to retrace her steps
Perhaps she didn't blaze It with .
:cmahawk. but It was effectively done.
Her husband paid the damages.

CONSpIRING AGAINST ROOSEVELT.

There is little encouragement in
recent events for the conspirators
who are trying to induce the Re
publican party to repudiate its re-
cord for the past eight years by
nominating someone else in Roose-
velt's place.
The frank avowal by the New
York Sun, Harper's Weekly and
other mouthpieces of the Morgan
interests, of the plan of the anti
Roosevelt campaign has undoubted-
ly had its effect, but that effect has
been entirely different from what
had been expected.
The carefully arranged echo
from various points throughout
the country has been swallowed
up in q burst of Roosevelt enthusi-
aslH, WHICH, laS Icil po uOuDt ds "
the feeling of the great mass of the
people. Not only Republican en-
dorsement has been most general
and enthusiastic, but there have
been a surprising number Of Dem
ocrats who have testified their ap-
proval Of the Roosevelt policy and
course.
But it would be. assuming alto
gether too much to suppose that
the anti, Roosevelt campaign will
be abandoned thus early in the
game. There is still considerable
time before the delegates to the
national conventions are chosen
and it is certain from the character
of those enlisted in this move
ment that they will leave nothing
possible undone in order to ac-
complish their purpose which has
been declared SO frankly.
To beat Roosevelt before the
convention if possible, and if not,
to beat him before the people re-
mains the object of a numerous
and powerful class composed of
those who desire special privileges
not sanctioned by the law and i'm
possible under the Roosevelt ell
forcement of the law, of those who
have suffered from the execution
of Justice against themselves or
their friends, and Of those generally
who stand for those things in our
government and our national policy
for which the Roosevelt policy
does not stand and to which it has
been unalterably opposed.
Some OF the welthlcst corpora
tions of the country, some Of the
most expert and experienced politi-
cal manipulators and gangstcrs,
some of the most vindictive
scheiners and most brilliant tricks
ters of the country are enlisted in
this movement and they will not
abate any of their efforts until
Theodore Roosevelt has again been
nominated by a Republican con-
vention and endorsed by the vote
