Political Issues.

The coming Fall elections are I'M
portant as showing the drift of public
opinion on political issues, and es-
pecially how the voters of the states
in which elections are held view the
cratic course of the Republican ad-
ministration. IF the Republicans
hold their own, it must be taken for
granted that the majority of the
voters of the United States are salts
fed to continue the extortion of the
trusts. By endorsing the ,Republi-
cans, the voters will sanction the pro-
gram that the leaders of their party
have agreed upon, of allowing Con-
gress to take no action other than to
pass the appropriation bills and ad-
journ at the earliest day practicable.
That would mean the t%ransconti-
mental railroads have sufficient infu-
ence with the Republican leaders to
prevent the building of the Panama
or Nicaragua Canal; That no action
will be taken upon treaties which
President Mckinley 30 ardently wish.
ed to see ratified; That the much
agitated labor legislation is again to
be postponed, and that the promises
made in the Republican platform are
again to be broken; That no investi-
cation of the frauds in the depart
ments is to be undertaken; That the
financial legislation that has been de-
clared so necessary TO prevent a panic
will not be attempted, and that Secre-
tary Shaw can continue to loan the
surplus, without interest, to favored
banks and continue to disobey the
law for the protection of the Uaited
States by receising doubtful security
in place of United States bonds,
which the law plainly commands.
Why is this Republican administra-
ton afraid to legislate on these and
other matters? Being in league with
the trusts and combines, they dare
not legislate against them. They
fear the people.

Actually Lynch Negro in Illinois

Such an example of mob vio-
lence as that displayed at Bellville
Saturday night brings up for seri-
Gus consideration the question
whether or not the people of Illi-
nois are now to vindicate their
claim to higher respect for law
than that prevailing in the South.
Bellville is not crossroads ham,
let isolated from the rest of the

tion of $4,000 or more. 1t is with
in a short distance of st. Louis,
and it has railways to keep it in
touch with civilization. Yet a
Belleville mob, principally bust
ness aud professional men," took
a negro from the Jail, beat him
until he was half dead, hanged
him to a telephone pole in the
public square and completed the
horror by burning his body. The
crime with which the negro was
charged, a cold-blooded and muir
derous assault upon county su.
| perintendent of schools, was I'M
doubtedly atrooious, but southern
communities will be quick to point
Tout that it was not the kind uf
crime which in the case of most
southern lynohings is alleged to
be an excuse and extern uation for
mob murder.
According to the dispatches
from Belleville, every negro in
the city has been warned to leave
town or suffer the consequences"
In other words. the people of this
northern city are engaged in just
the same kind Of business as that
which the north has so often oon-
Idemnsd in southern communities.

the cost of mining, $4,000; the
cost of milling, $500, and the in

tons, net balance for dividends of
Obs, or fully fifty per cent. on
the par value of the Ohio Mining
company's capitalization, which is
100000.
This amount may look large,
but when one considers that in the
same mining section an invest
ment OF something over thous-
and dollars has already returned
and that within two years nearly
$4,000 profit, the capabilities of
this wonderful section will, in
some degree, be realized. 1t Is, of
OF course, owing to the large fs-
sure veins filled from wall to wall
with a marketable product. That
the estimate Of s feet is not large,
is evidenced by one property
where solid zinc ore is 65 feet
wide, without break of any kind.

near the district, and are all prom
inent business men, their chief
aim being to make a new record
on dividend earning and paying
property. With the mines they
have already opened, they will I'M
doubleday do this, and it seems to
us that with the varied holding of
the Ohio Valley Mining company
the prospect looks fair for them to
rival the enormous dividends of
the Anaconda Mines of Montana.
