1t looks like a great many of
the big Democratic daily journals,
who think politics were invented
for their special benefit, have
more genuine satisfaction in show
ing their teeth than they do in
writing sensibly on occasions of all
occasions when they should not
lose their heads. They have done
all that a combined press could do
in the past week to injure the
ticket--and all this because the
platform makers did not insert
therein a dead plank. The inser-
ton of a gold plank, or a silver
plank, or a monetary plank of any
kind in the platform at this time
would have been wholly superfu-
Gus. That question has been con-
coded to be settled for long time.
That being true what on earth is
there to be gained by declaration
for the gold standard. Might as
we'll resolve that we would support
the constitution-iust about as
much sense in one as the other.
All this TRADE about the platform
is nothing more than the vamping
of some darn fools who have no
other motive in view than to shake
the life out of Billy Bryan. These
are the reorganizers, the conserva-
tives, you know, who wanted to
bring all factionstogether. Gentle
men, leave it to a disinterested
party and ask who has shown the
more liberal or conservative spirit
Bryan or those who are making
all this fuss. Bryan gave up his
silver issue and on the other hand
Hill surrendered his gold declara-
tions. They met on a common
ground after eighteen hours de-
bate. Did they do rights We
have the gold standard and it has
not been assailed. Is anybody
hurt9 If these GROWERS had been
present and witnessed TO the pro-
ceedings of the convention there
would not have been all this rant
about the silence of the platform
on the money question. They
would have seen what should have
been heralded as the greatest
meeting of Democrats ever held.
They would have been led to feel
the influence of the magnanimity
and liberality which was exhibited
in the respect Democrats held for
each others feelings and opinions.
Is it to be supposed for a minute
that Democrats could have united
without some concessions! And
how could these concessions dam
age the party when no principle
had been assailed or issue omitted
1t looks to us rather like one of |
the greatest victories that could |
have evolved out of the chaos of a
badly disrupted party. 1t appears
to us that one of Americas great
est and best citizens has been cho-
sen to carry the standard of that
party. The signs of approaching
hosts gathering together in the
bonds of union are vitality signifi-
cant. The overthrow of the mill
tary President, or the hero of
horseplay, is no longer one of

Those who ever supposed for
minute that William Jennings
Bryan had ever lost any of that
magnetism, that wonderful voice
and gift of speech, which made the
Chicago convention in 1896 one Of
the memorable events of this gen
Grafton soon had this idea dispelled
if they attended the st. Louis con-
ventlon last week. The leader of
the silver movement has suffered
defeat, but the uses of adversely
have given him strength and the
star of his genius is even brighter
to-day than it ever was. The in
fuence of this man over that vast
assemblage, such as gathered in
st. Louis, is absolutely astound-
ing. 1t is wonderful. No man
has a true conception of the orator
unless he has heard him under
conditions of this kind. Even at
his very appearance men and wo-
men with one voice are simply
transformed into shouting mass,
and with only wave of his hand
there is Immediately a perfect
silence. There was not another
man in that entire audience of ff-
teen thousand people last Friday
night in the coliseum at St. Louis
who could command attention.
There was not another who could
even be heard; and it would be
unreasonable to suppose that one
of them could control or quiet one
of those monster demonstrations
Bryan was the only man who could
do this. One of the secrets of the
mans wonderful power is doubt
less his fearless courage and I'M
swerving honesty. His aphorisms
are often criticised as vague and
specious, but his eloquence never
loses its magic. Bryan is without
doubt the greatest orator on the
face of the earth. He is withouta
parallel. The idea advanced by
some newspapers that these dem
were the work of a
crowd of Missouri admirers is to a
man who saw the convention posi-
lively absurd. AT the all.night
session which began Friday night
there were not less than fifteen
thousand people IN the coliseum.
The seating capacity was between
eleven and twelve thousand and
the doorkeepers gave way to those
desiring admittance until every
foot of standing room was taken.
On Saturday night this crowd was
reduced to half or less. Were all
those who left Missouri people?
The Bryan enthusiasm was dimin-
ished only in the size of the crowd,
but those who remained may have,
perhaps, been mostly Missourians.
1t is more reasonable to suppose
that those who had left were from
other States. But there is no
of the mans eloquence
and magnetism.

0OuDt Commune to De operated as sep
arate entities, so far as the general
public is concerned. Therefore I do
not see how they can be either bene-
ated or injured by the decision"
Attorney General Knox. in giving his
views upon the decision, plainly de-
clares that "the government does not
mean to run amuck" by rushing into
litigation against other similar illegal
combinations of railroads. Unless
President Roosevelt and his attorney
general follow up this decision by the
more drastic criminal section of the
antitrust law it is certain that the con-
spirators in restraint of trade and
those who hold monopoly of the rail-
road business of the country have
nothing to fear from the result Of the
decision of the court. The big holders
Of railroad stock are put to some In
convenience by the decision. Their
pet company, which was to control and
hold about all the stock of these natu-
rally competing railroads, must now be
succeeded by some other agreement
that will secretly bind them. The rail-
roads will be run as separate COM
panies. as they have been under the
Northern Securities merger, but this
decision does not compel them to COM
pete against each other, and competi-
ton is the only thing that will help
the public.
That the railroads are not hurt by
the decision is in a measure proved by
the action of the stock market since
the decision was made public, the
stocks of the leading railroads having
advanced, especially that of the COM
pany involved.
It is probable that Wall street was
expecting the decision to be against
the merger and had prepared for 1t and
is so pleased with the administration
tip given out by Attorney General
Knox that other combines need not
fear; that 1t considers the trusts and
conspirators safe until politics require
another raid by the powers that be.

Fooled by Promises.

The Protective Tariff league, backed
by trusts and influence and money, has
whipped those members into line who
promised tariff reform by threatening
to fight their denomination or defeat
them at the polls. How long the vot-
ers will continue to be fooled by prom
ises and pay high trust prices. know
ing that the trusts are exporting theif
products to foreign countries and SELL
ing those products for much less to
the foreigner, remains to be seen.
