How the Trusts Control the Government.

At no other time has Judge Alton r. Parker
appeared before the thoughtful citizens of
America in such favorable light as when on last
Monday he declared himself, with unaccustomed
vigor, against the growing public corruption
through the use of campaign funds. We may
be ~pardoned for reprinting two paragraphs from
Judge Parker's address:
GA startling change has taken place in the
method of conducting campaigns; a change not
for the better, but for the worse; a change that
has introduced debasing and corrupt methods,
which threatens the integrity of our, Government,
leaving it, perhaps, a republic in forms, but not
a republic in substance-no longer a government
of the people, by the people, for the people, but
a government whose officers are practically
chosen by a handful of cooperate managers, who
levy upon the assets of the stockholders whom
they represent such sums of money as they deem

vate interests.
"Some of the enterprises which have unduly
thrived through favoritism, and which have been
permitted by statute to indirectly levy tribute
upon the people, have in the course of time be-
come so rich and strong that they can and do
contribute vast sums when it is made clear that
it will advantage them, and they contribute upon
the promise, direct or implied, that they shall be
permitted to continue to tax the people for their
own benefit"
This is indeed one of the gravest dangers to
our American Institutions, and Judge Parker's
deliverance on this subject rings clearer than
anything else that he has said. It probably is
not true that Mr.. Cortelyou has used his official
knowledge gained as Secretary of Commerce and
Labor to blackmail trusts into contributing to
the Republican campaign fund, but because this
might have been done, his appointment was GER
tainly indicate. AS for Chairman Taggart, there
is no reason to believe that he is a man of Judge
Parker's high ideals; he would doubtless be glad
to use all the trust money that he and August
Belmont could possibly secure. It is rumored.
however, that the Roosevelt administration has
made terms with Wall Street, and that little
money is forthcoming for the Democratic treas
ury, while another rumor declares that the
Standard Oil Company is spending enormous
sums to defeat the Republican candidate. It is
certain that the trusts are not all on the Re
publican side as they were in 1896 and 1900.
The Political Outlook.
However much one ma disapprove of betting,
there is no denying the fact that the men who
risk hard-earned money on the results of the
election never fail to watch very carefully the
I-1f4 &c IL ILL.,
betting therefore is generally, though not inva-
rlably, a pretty accurate political thermometer.
For these reasons, the following news item will
be read with interest by the general public:
"The betting on Mckinley and Bryan ran at
about 3 to 1 in both campaigns of 1896 and
1900. Accordingly, the prevailing odds of 4 to
1 as between Roosevelt and Parker, are excep-
tional. It is said in New York that between
now and election day Democrats will make an
heroic effort to bring the betting back nearer to
what it was three months ago. Soon after the
St. Louis convention the odds, favoring Roose-
welt, stood at about 10 to Z"
The New York Herald, which had been sup
porting Judge Parker, last week practically con-
coded Roosevelts election. The New York Jour
nal, Mr.. Hearst's paper, also warns Mr.. Parker
that he will be beaten unless he takes a holder
position as to trusts. Hr. Hearst, by the way,
has accepted the Populist endorsement of his
candidacy for Congress on the Democratic tick
ct, and he is said to have much more personal
admiration for Tom Watson than for Judge Par
ker.

EDITORIAL
CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE IT.

The threatened war between England and Rus
STA overshadowed all other events of last week
In the face of the terrible blunder-or worse
which at times seemed likely to bring Europe's
greatest nations to the verge of conflict, people
lost interest even in the Presidential election
now so near at hand. Again a notable case of
mob murder was reported, this time at Berkeley,
in old Virginia. Bryan, Fairbanks and Parker
made notable campaign speeches. At St. Louis
a comparatively successful effort was made to
operate a flying machine.
The Strained Relations Between England and Russia.
1t was not not until last Monday that it became
known that on the previous Friday night an Eng
lish fishing feet, quietly sailing in the waters be-
tween England and Denmark, had been fired upon
by the Baltic fleet of the Russian Empire, now
fastening to the Far East to take Fart in the war
against Japan. Of the defenceless fishermen, two
were killed outright and eighteen others injured;
the Russian vessels gave no aid to the wounded.
The news of this almost inexplicable affair
fired all England. From the very first, talk of war
was rife. The Russian Ambassador returning to
London from a trip on the Continent. was met
by an unmannerly mob at the railroad station
and his carriage stoned. At Barry, England, a
steamboat about to sail with provisions for the
Russian fleet. was scuttled by the enraged popu-
lace.
Immediately upon receipt of the news of the
attack ON the fishermen, England demanded an
explanation and apology from the Russian gov
eminent. but the Gar could not act until he re-
1fived a report from Admiral Roiesventsky,
commander Of, the Baltic feet; and this came only
after an irritating delay of four days. But the
Admiral's report of the affair put the matter in
a new light, and made an Investigation neces-
sarv; but for this England would have sent an ul-
timatum and the crisis would have been reached
Immediately. Briefly stated, Admiral Roles
ventsky alleges that no vessel in his fleet fired at
any fishing vessels, but only at certain torpedo
boats that came in sight and threatened, to at
tack them. These torpedo boats, the Admiral
of the japanese, and it was in attacking these
real enemies that the English fishermen unfor-
~tunately came within reach of the firing.
Such is the Russian story of the affair, and
it is corroborated in a measure by the report of
the Danish Marine Ministry, asserting that at
Hull the japanese had chartered torpedo boats to
pursue and attack the Russian feet on its way
to the Orient. Whether the Russians we're really
attacked. or were only hysterical for fear of be-
ing attacked, cannot now be known. England
certainly does not believe Roiestventsky's story,
but she would forfeit the good will of other ma
TONS should she plunge into war without inves-
tigating further. 1t is stated on good authority,
however, that if she were sure that France would
remain neutral, she would not hesitate. The
Hague Peace Tribunal is now to investigate, the
affair.
