laws. Under Mckinley. the same
path was followed. Under ROose-
welt. the republican Attorney-Gen-
eral said that he could not make a
successful prosecution because of
the wording of the law. But
William Randolph Hearst. pri-
vate citizen, employed attorneys
and spent thousands of dollars of
his own money in proving to a
grateful country that prosecutions
could not only bc made under the
present law. but successfully.
When his attorneys demanded the
papers and books of the Coal Trust
in open court, the Coal Combine
refused To produce them. and was
sustained 10y New York court.
When Mr.. Hearst carried his case
to the Supreme Courtof the United
States, the Court, the higeSt tribu-
nal in the land. upheld his conten-
tons and ordered the books pro-
duced. The Supreme Court also
decided that the Infamous Northern
Securities merger was illegal. and
ordered it dissolved, but no crimi-
nal prosecutions we're ordered
against the promoters of the
scheme, because the republican
Acknowledgement was afraid.
With Hearst As President. the
laws upon the statute books will be
enforced, and laws will be placed
there which will govern and limit
the depredationS of the Trusts.
We cannot understand why any
person who claims allegiance to
the Democratic party, or who even
says that ne Is in favor of the ideals
of jefferson. can i'm any way op-
pose or criticiSc the views and
work of William Randolph Hearst.
Mr.. Hearst has been Il Demo
crat and has followed the party to
two defeats, because he bellows
that Democracy will triumph 10y
right and justice. When the party
was deserted by those who now
seek To name 4 Presidential candi-
date for us. Mr. Hearst was Staunch
and true. I'm 1896 he made per-
Sonal offer to the League of Demo
cratic Clubs that he would dupli-
cate from his own pocket every
dollar which they raised for cam
paign purposes. In 1900 he made
a similar offer. During these two
campaigns. he contributed To the
Golfers of Democracy nearly half
4 million dollars i'm cash. besides
the large amount of aid given
without price by his newspapers.
And now these men. who claim to
be true Democrats lwho probably
voted for either Palmer and Buck
ner or Mckinley and Roosevelt.
say that Mr. Hearst Is not the man
for the Presidency.

CLEVELAND And The BONDS.

EX-President Grover Cleveland.
has been trying To explain the rea-
sons for his famous bond-deal. The
people who purchased the issue
were the same parties who are now
boosting the candidacy of Judge
Parker for President. There are a
number of points in the deal which
Mr.. Cleveland has not made clear
10 the public. In an open letter to
the Washington Post, United States
Senator William NJ. Stewart. of
Nevada, says:
The laborcd defense by Mr..
Cleveland of his bond deal i'm his
last administration, a synopsis of
which appeared in the The Post. is
food for reflection. II reminds
one of the eXordium of a celebrated
African divine who, after having
labored for hours in an excited
harangue to make his audience
good, said: Now. brethren and
sistern, | trust that | have made

perfectly clear that within a wear

Ject is clear. The lucid part of
the transaction is that somebody.
not the government, made about
thirty millions out Of the deal.
The ambiguous part of the whole
subject IS, among whom was the
thirty millions profit divided Mr..
Cleveland's explanation throws no
light upon this ambiguity, but it
reveals a want of discretion on his
part which is about as audacious as
the effort ef the bovine to buck the
engine off the track.

for him To have allied himself with
