Democratic Party Cannot Do It.

Unless there has been a complete
the democratic sen ators there will be
q protest against Germans leadership
and the sooner that protest ls made,
the better for the party y.-W.J. Bryan,
in his paper last week.
Mr.. German was elected chairman
of the democratic caucus of the U. S.
senators without objection, and all
the democratic members of the senate
except five, were present.
Mr.. Bryan ia losing time seeking to
reform the democratic party. He
should look back over the field, and
see that his nomination by the demo-
cratic politicians in 1896 was simply a
scheme to head of the peoples party.
He should get on the Omaha plat
form with both feet and step boldly
into the middle of the road. He may
do this. His bold criticism OF Cor
mans election as democratic leader
gives hope that the million or more
populists who voted for him In 1886
did not misplace their confidence.
Mr.. Bryan is certainly becoming con-
vinced that the democratic party con-
tains too many friends of monopoly
in it's leadership to ever be used as an
instrumentality through which to Sc
cure to the people their. rights. Mis-.

Candidates Before Principles.

There is great activity in the demo.
cratic party these days. Not in the
line of>making issues or advocating
old ores. Bryan is the only one who
seems to have time to talk of princi-
pies. The others are busy discussing
candidates. We had a strong Parker
boom short while ago, but that
seems to have been placed on ice at
least temporarily. Hill has his shout
ers at work. Shepard of Brooklyn is
mentioned. German is also consid-
cred as a possibility. But the real
genuine article in the way of boom
these days is for Grover Cleveland.
The financial journals are seriously
discussing it and they seem to be quite
we'll pleased with it. The New York
World has openly declared him the
most available candidate.
The real Significance Of this is that
not one is Bryan democrat. If Bry-
an wants a candidate to represent the
Kansas City platform he will have to
take the position himself for there is
no other democrat of national fame
that seems willing to be mentioned in
connection with that platform. 1t is
taken for granted in all these discuss
sions that the candidate will be q
Cleveland democrat, and it is only a
question whether it shall be the stuffed
prophet himself or one of his under
studies. These facts ought TO con-
vince such populists as have not yet
seen it that the Bryan democracy is
not the controlling element in that
party any longer. The mott that
Bryan can hope to do is to get enough
to hinder the nomination of any dis
tasteful to him, which he might be able
to do under the two-thirds rule Of the
democratic conventions. But if the
Groverites find that to be the position
confronting them they will very likely
change that rule. They are getting
bold enough to state that they can win
without the Bryan element, for that is
strongest in the western states, where
Roosevelt is the strongest and will
carry the elections. The chances now
are that Bryan will have to walk out
of the democratic convention or swal-
low Clevelandism.

CORPORATIONS PLEASED,
Subjugsted, Because SIN War
Numbers Count

The corporation press is going into
ecstasies over the report of the ccaI
strike commission. While there are
some concessions given to the miners,
it is given to them as individuals, not
as members of a union. The COM
mission is very careful to avoid any
finding, any single clause in it's re-
port that would in the least way show
that the miners had any authoritative
mouthpiece to speak for them. A
large part of the report is taken up
with dissertation on the enormity of
the crime of trying to keep "scabs''
from getting employment or taking
the place of striking union men. The
boycott comes in for an especially
strong scoring. It is declared i'm
moral and anti-social, malicious, con-
spiracy, outside the pale of civilized
war, cruel and cowardly, etc.
Whether the commission in any place
scores the mine operators is not
known, as the papers have not pub
lished any such part OF the report.
! Backed by this authority, the cor
poration press is becoming more bold
than it was last fall in denouncfng
trade unionism. This is especially
true of the financial journals, which
are not dependent upon the working
people for subscriptions. One of them
in discussing the subject says: "The
trades union in England have already
inflicted infinite mischief there, and it
may be years before Great Britain
will recover the ground she has lost
in the past few years. The United
States is confronted with the same in
tdustrial tyranny and Industrial de-
preston. The only alternative is war.
Let us not mince words. What the
labor unions in their ignorance and
passion are attempting, consciously
or unconsciously, is revolution. The
labor unions are in q minority in this

Prohibition News Bulletin,

People who are interested in the set
tlement of the liquor problem cannot
fail to find some consolation in the
two bills that passed congress du, ing
the last session. One of these was an
law which carried with it
the prohibition of the sale CT liquors
at all immigrant stations and the Ian
dis amendment thereto which forbids
the sale of liquor in the national capi-
tol building. While relatively unim-
portant in themselves, they show
clearly the trend of public sentiment
concerning the liquor traffic. Sooner
or later it must go and the sooner the
better.
Spurred to action by Sheriff Pier
son of Cumberland county, the officials
all over Maine have been enforcing
the prohibitory law during the last
year with more than ordinary rigor.
This brought about an attempt on the
part of the liquor element in and out
side of the state to secure the re.sub-
mission of the constitutional provi-
sion outlawing the saloon. It was de-
feated by vote Of 88 to 40.
*x*
The supreme court of Kansas decid
ed early this month that the Injunction
feature of the prohibitory law of tha,
state, which is one of the most effective
provisions of the entire law, had been
repealed by certain legislation of 1891.
There was new and more stringen,
Injunction bill promptly drafted and
introduced in the senate and passed
by avote of 26 to l. The next day i,
was passed by the house by vote o.
"a to 9. The next Judge who tries tc
nullify the law in the interest of The
traffic ought to take care not to over
step himself.

The Statistical Abstract just pub
lished by the treasury department O.
the United States shows that thirt,
y 'ars ago we were consuming 81 gal
Ions of malt liquor per capita wherea
we now consume IT'S per capita. Ou
total per capita consumption of al
kinds of liquors, whiskies, brandies
beers, etc., was 81 gallons in 1877
whereas our total consumption in 100
was 1875. This takes no account O
"moonshine' whiskey or spuriou
drug-made liquors. When it is re
membered that both of these las
named illegitimate industries are muc
| greater than they we're thirty year

much increased, the alarming cor

The history of the liquor dealers
organizati in Illinois. Minnesota,
Missouri, Ohio, New York, kentucky,
Virginia, and other states for years
past reveals heroic work on part of
the officers of these associations.
In Illinois not a single objectiona-
able law has been passed during the
last twenty years, to the general bene-
fit of the trade in that state.
In Missouri only two or three years
ago tie organization prevented the
additional burden of Sl00 license from
being added to each saloonkeeper.
The Phipps, Bennett, Jerome, Low,
Apgar, Knip, Smith and Raines bills,
each one intended to add new hard
ships to the liquor trade of the state,
we're knocked out by the efforts of the
legislative committee of the New York
state liquor Dealers association.
At the last session of the Kentucky
legislature some very objectionable
bills were defeated by the liquor
dealers association of that state.
In Ohio the liquor Dealers associ-
alton has been of lasting benefit to
the trade. In 1900 it defeated the
Clark local option bill; it defeated
the bill to Increase the tax to $500; it
defeated the bill to close saloons on
Decoration day; it defeated the bill to
close saloons within two miles OF Scio
college; it had law enacted compel
ling druggists to pay Dow tax for
selling liquor except by prescription.
In Virginia the constitutional con-
vention held at Richmond on Feb. %,
1902, refused to adopt the Barbour
resolution, which made it incumbent
upon the applicant for license to sell
liquor in towns and counties of the
state to first secure the written con-
sent of a majority of the voters in the
precinct in which it was proposed to
sell the liquor. The resolution was
favorably reported by the committee
on bill of rights and it was petitioned
for by thousands Of the temperance
people OF the state. M. Barbour led
q strong fight for it, but the liquor
dealers association of Virginia op-
posed the resolution and finally sue
ceeded in defeating this law.
In Maryland, at the last session OF
the legislature, the anti-saloon league
endeavored to pass bills; q neighbor-
hood local option bill, a 400 feet from
church and school bill, screen bill
and q remonstrance bill-all of which
we're defeated by the Maryland liquor
dealers association.
Is this not q record that every
LIQUOR dealer in these states may we'll
be proud of, and is it not a lesson to
those where no organization exists to
get "a move on themselves" and
come together like business men in
the interests of the trade in which
they have their little ''all' invested:
