The ONLY TERMS POSSIBLE

There may be a grain of truth in the
| rumor that Russia is preparing to make
terms with Japan. 1t is said that
she is willing. to settle the differ
| ences between them on the basis Of
granting the demands made by Japan
before the beginning of the war. We
! think very likely this is true. If so, it
can hardly be more than a mere feint
to distract attention and desperate
effort to prevent the fall of Port Ar
thur.
OF course Japan, although apparently
sincere and steadfast in the demands
which she made before the war broke
out, would be insane to accept them
now without further qualification. Rus
sia reveals by this overture her intense
anxiety not to lose her last foot of
standing room in the far East. Japan
has won every advantage. She will
| undoubtedly in short time have
in her hands the natural fortress Of
Port Arthur. Russia could well afford
to grant all demands originally made if
she could save this last, the key of
Eastern Asia, from the control of
Japan.
1t may be taken for granted that con-
troll Of Port Arthur will be added by
Japan to her demands prior to the war,
and will be a fixed condition of any
peace that is to be reached. She would
! deserve the fate that must fall upon
her were she not to make this impera-
tive. Holding Port Arthur the East
ern seas would be made as safe to her
| as the control of Gibraltar make the
Mediterranean for English commerce.
Relinquishing Port Arthur, she would
merely know that exactly this same
struggle that she now endures must
be gone through again and under less
favorable circumstances at a later day.
Russia would repeat her former tactics,
advance by slow degrees and. with
guileful protestations, and a generation
or two later Japan must again choose
between war and absorption
Undoubtedly Japan today will be sat
isfied, as she has steadfastly professed,
with a protectorate over Korea and the
restoration of Manchuria in good faith
to China. But she will ask a hostage.
She will not take Russia's mere word
for the performance of these conditions
and for leaving them unchanged. She
will insist upon holding Port Arthur
as pledge that this policy will be per=-
manently carried out When Russia
gets ready to consent to that condition,
peace may probably be had at any
time. Until she is so prepared, no
peace is possible.

Gives Mine Owners, side

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col. June 10
Clarence G. Hamlin, secretary of the
\ Cripple Creek District Mine Owners
aSSocia ton, gave out the following
statement today in reply to a telegram
from New York newspaper asking
him as "head of the vigilantes" to pre-
sent his side of the labor troubles
here
"There is no vigilante committee in
this community. The position of the
Cripple Creek operators has been plac-
ed in a false light by the Eastern press.
Labor leaders attribute these troubles
to the defeat of the eight-hour law in
Colorado. The fact is that we have
been working an eight-hour day for
ten years, paying minimum wage of
three and an average wage of about
four dollars per day. The actual work
ing time of a miner is but about seven
hours No grievance was lodged
against the operators when the strike
was called, and had the question been
left to the miners themselves, 80 per
cent would have voted against it. This
strike is due to the fact that the Strik-
ing power has been taken from the un-
ion members and lodged in the hands
of a few leaders, criminals themselves
and dependent on crime to attain their
ends.
while this strike is called q SYM
pathetic one, to aid certain mill men,
most Of them also working an eight
hour day, it's real purpose was to COM
pei every man in this district to join
the Western Federation of Miners or
leave the country. This organization
has a record of lawleSsRess, murder,
arson and dynamiting in Occur dAleRe,
Butte, Leadville. Idaho Springs, Telln-
ride, Cripple Creek and elsewhere. e&-
tending over a period of ten to fifteen
years, which should appall humanity.
These outrages eliminated here Mon
day when fifteen men were blown into
eternity and nearly as many more
manned so that death would be a
mercy.
'sSince Mondays calamity we would
close every mine in this district for ten
years rather than let single member
Of this organization work or live here.
This it not necessary, for all our
mines are working full handed with 4
better class of men, all non union,
than ever before. Our fight has not
been against unionism as such, but
against criminal organization. and it
will not be discontinued until no mem
ber of this organization Is left in Teller

RepubIicans and the Nearo

While the Republican party is known
as the ''nigger party" its members as
a class will have a sharp and long
struggle to down the prejudice and
overcome the suspicion which is an in
herent part of the Southern Demo-
Gratis mind, and it is this prejudice and
this. suspicion which are causing the
Republicans to reform their party in
this section so ,as to rid it of the lg-
norant, illiterate and easily debauched
negro electorate. The venality of the
black voter, has always been urged
against him as sHffragan. but it has
been difacult to get the North to be-
lieve that he is purchasable. 1t is use
less to argue this point. 1t has passed
into our political economy as an axiom,

SATURDAY, JUNE II, 1904
BACK TO THE WOODS

The Roosevelt administration has
met the trusts and it is theirs. No
event in its entire life was as signifi-
cant as the selection, by and with the
at Washington, of Attorney General
Knox as United States senator from
Pennsylvania. The Roosevelt antitrust
campaign flag has been struck and
fluttered to the ground. This last pre-
tense that the Republican party is not
the personal and private property of
corporate interest has vanished.
Interesting details of the arrange
ment for Quay's succession are given to
The Globe by private and entirely
reliable advices from Philadelphia. On
Wednesday morning there was a meet
ing of representatives of some of the
biggest trusts in the country in that
city. Frick, the heaviest stockhoIder
of the steel trust, was present. Cas-
satt, of the Pennsylvania railroad. one
of the defendants in the coal trust suits
now pending, and Don Cameron, repre-
senting the Standard Oil and other big
interests, were present. They met in
Cassatt's Office, and served notice on
Senator Penrose, adjutant boss of
Pennsylvania, that Knox must be re-
moved from the office of attorney gem
eral and made senator. On Thursday
morning Knox met these same gentle
men and gave his consent, which he
stated was agreed to by President
Roosevelt.
This is the true story of the making
of a senator Incidentally 1t may be
noted that in order to carry out the
bargain the laws of Pennsylvania must
be flagrantly violated. These provide
that on the death of a United States
senator the legislature must be called
In extra session to select his successor.
To avoid all possible complications the
law will be ignored, and the attorney
general of the United States will re-
eeive and accept at the dictation of the
trusts an illegal appointment rendered
to him by the governor of Pennsyl-
vania
This is the end of the Roosevelt trust
busting business. This is the finish of
all his great pretensions. This is his es-
cape from the horrible dilemma in
which he and Knox both have been
caught since the supreme court gave
to the Sherman antitrust act q con-
struction so much wider and more dan
gerous than either of them had believed
possible. This, they think, will end the
troubles besetting them since they dis
covered that they had got hold of a
live wire instead of dead one. This is
the pledge which they make TO power

manded a guarantee of some sort be-
fore they. would fail into the Roosevelt
column.

HEW TO THE LINE

The conditions over in Wisconsin re-
veal a general condition as to Democ-
racy that invites reflection. BY neither
Republican nor Democrat is any doubt
expressed of the result of the state
campaign, provided only that the Wis
consin Democrats support their own
candidate. The most ardent adherents
of La Toilette say openly that they ex-
pect him to be elected, if elected at all.
by the aid of Democratic votes that he
has hitherto received.
An end must be put to this sort of
thing. Wisconsin is not the only state
where Republican candidates for office
dicker and trade with Democratic vot-
ers. 1t has become a too common prac-
tice in the states where Democracy is
usually minority. 1t accounts. of
course, for that condition, and is a
pledge that Democrats will always re-
main in a minority where Democratic
voters are open to any sort of Repub-
lican advances. Where they can be
persuaded by any form of argument to
support a Republican candidate, their
party solidarity is destroyed and the
whole party's future injured.
Why should any Wisconsin Demo-
crat have voted for La Toilette in the
past, or why should he support him in
the future? Skillful1y taking advantage
of division of opinion within the DEM
ocratic party, Republican managers like
Senator Spooner have appealed to con-
servative Democrats to support conserv-
ative Republicans as more nearly allied
to them than their own party associates:
while rabid radicals. like some of La
Follette's men, have consorted with
radical Democrats and urged them that
the La Toilette faction was more to
their liking and represented more rear
ly their views than any conserv ltive
Democrat Thus they have built bridges
back and forth across the ever-widen-
ing chasm of Democracy, over which
Republicans might pass and repass to
repeated success.
The time has come to end this. The
hour is here for united and successful
Democracy. Let us renew the old de-
voted allegiance to the party for its
own sake. Let the word Democrat
become call to conscience as well as
to reason. Let the voter remember that
there can be no parties at all. and
therefore no stable government as far
as methods of government have yet
been evolved, without give and take,
without acquiescence in the will Of the
majority, however unpalatabIe that
may be.
There are no issues now that should
make 1t morally impossible for Demo-
Gratis to stand heartily together. It is
inconceivable, for instance, that any
Democrat in Wisconsin should support
either the Spooner faction or the La
Toilette faction in preference to his
own party, no matter what may be its
platform or who it's candidate. Close
up the ranks, SO that it may no longer
be said that there is no Democratic
stronghold which cannot be carried IL
there be path to it along which, ac-
cording to the old policy of Philip, one
may drive an ass laden with gold.
