Berlin, July iS.--The report of the
seizure of the mails of the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich by
the Russian volunteer fleet steamer
Smolensk, in the Red sea, reached here
too late for most of the papers to COM
ment on it. The Tageblatt says: "a
speedy explanation of this Russian ac-

be taken that a disavowal is made and

county fair association. The fair as.

be done. and steps be taken to hold

would be little difficulty in securing
ample funds to carry out the proposed

The outposts Of the armies are scarcely

Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports
that General Kuro is massing his

moving out by both roads upon Hal

DEMOCRATS WITH THE TRUSTS.
The Showing Made When a Vote Was
Taken in the House

The present laws which place whole
some restrictions on the trusts were put
on the statutes by the Republican party
and not by the Democratic party. Loud
ly as the Democrats have always talked
against the trusts, and seriously as they
have from time to time awakened appre-
hension in all business circles by their
threats that they would destroy all large
corporations whether good or bad, vet
never once have the Democrats accom-
plished or even aided in the accomplish
ment of any salutary effort to control
the trusts along lines of public safety.
The rulings of the Supreme Court hav-
ing shown that as the constitution now
stands, Congress can only regulate trusts
engaged in interstate commerce, the fol-
lowing amendment was introduced in
the House of Representatives and press
ed to a vote on June l. 1900:
Section l. All powers conferred by this
article shall extend to the several States,
the territories, the District OF Columbia
and all territory under the sovereignty and
subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States
Section 2. Congress shall have power
TO define, regulate, control. prohibit, or dis
solve trusts, monopoles or combinations
whether existing in the form of combina-
ton or otherwise. The several States may
continue to exercise such power in any man
ner not in conflict with the laws of the
United States.
Section g. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions of this article by
appropriate legislation.
The clause saving all rights of States
was inserted in the hope of inducing
State-rights Democrats to support the
amendment. Nevertheless, the vote stood
14S Republicans for and 100 Democrats
against, and the measure failed of the
necessary two-thirds majority.
LOUDLY AS THE DEMOCRATS
TALKED, WHEN 1T CAME TO A
VOTE THEY WERE FOR THE
TRUSTS, NOT AGAINST THEM.

Ex-President c,eveland,s Fa;,nr.

ExPresident Cleveland is an unimag-
NATIVE man. and for this, and other good
reasons. his recent magazine article en-
titled why a Young Man Should Vote
the Democratic Ticket" is short, point
less and uncOnvincing.
1t takes Il good deal of fervid fancy,
and a knack for invention. to construct
an argument upon a theme like that. Mr..
Cleveland was evidently i'll at ease with
his subject Probably few young men
will read the article, anyway, and no one
will be Influenced by it.
The young men of America live In the
present, and hope for the future. They
do not care to be even holding post
mortems on dead issues, nor to spend
their days holding back the wheels Of ac-
ton and progress.
The young men of the United States
are alive. And they will vote the Repub-
lican ticket this fall

The Works of Democracy.

"By their works shall We know them"
BY what single work are the American
people to know that the Democratic
party can he safely intrusted with pow
err? There is not single distinctive
policy of the party that, put to the test,
ever worked without creating damage
The Democratic party has favored slav-
cry. free silver and free trade, but never
a single principle has it ever favored that
meant greater happiness and prosperity
for the American people. The Republi-
can party freed the slaves. it has stood
and still stands for sound money and
protection to American industries. 1t is
the party of construction, not the party
OF destruction.

WAS DEMOCRACY INSANE /?
If So, Bryan Was a Lunatic, According
to Mr.. Cleveland.

Democracy has returned to sanity"
said Grover Cleveland recently, in an in
terview.
This statement, made with all the SOL
emn ponderosity of which Mr. Cleveland
is capable, would imply that the Demo-
cratic party has been insane and its lead
ers set of lunatics. In previous inter
views Mr.. Cleveland contented himself
with merely wing that Democracy had
strayed from the right path after
strange gods when it embraced Bryan
ism, but since the defeat of the Bryan
faction at st. Louis he has been secretly
rejoicing over the apparent downfall Of
his most bitter political enemy, and on
Oct. 2, at Buzzard's Bay, he virtually
declared that Mr. Bryan was a mailman.
How do the friends of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
States relish having their leader called
a lunatic! Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness, and if the Democratic party has
returned to sanity" it must first have
been insane, and, by the same reasoning,
if the party was insane because Bryan
was its leader, Mr. Bryan himself must
have been the chief lunatic.
Candidate Parker is generally admitted
~ NC q hOiiChlllg III Ills patty lOOl VI
Hill, Sheehan and others-and what he
says counts for little, but it is different
when Mr.. Cleveland talks. He is the
oracle of the Eastern Democracy, and
if he says Bryan is insane it is certain
he voices the sentiments of sane" Dem
ocraey.
How can the Bryanites indorse such
Islander on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to vote
for Bryan on the ground that the Ne
braskan was insane, but he will vote for
Parker. because he leads the sane"
Democracy ticket
An important point seems to have been
forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Parker vot-
ed twice for the Nebraska "lunatic' and
was therefore one Of the host of madmen
who composed insane" Democracy. Does
Mr.. Cleveland improve his position by
now supporting one of the madmen who
voted for the leader of insane" Dem
ocracyi
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and will, no doubt, be re-
scented at the polls. for the friends of Mr..
Bryan do not think he should be put
in the straitjacket class.

THEY ARE FOR ROOSEVELT
His LIagnetism Proves Attractive to
Men of All Con litions.

There is Il magnetism in oi)el fearless
manhood which attracts the s1uis Of mel.
The wOrkingmen of the country recos-
nize in President Roosevelt an active
worker, a sincere, democratic, straight
out brother man. There is no dis
counting the unerring instinct by which
one sturdy man or class of men reaches
swift decision as to character. Perhaps
the RANK and Gle of the workers of TIE
United States cannot give ont long
Speeches as to why they believe in Roose-
welt, but the fact is they know him. That
is enough
Put Theodore Roosevelt in a group of
railway engineers and fremen, or on a
rancho in Idaho; let him sit down TO din
ner with a dozen farmers at a country
tavern or ride in a car with a mining
outfit, or a college football team, or DEL
eSatiOn of stonemasons, and instantly
he would be sized up. estimated and ac-
knowledged by any and all of these repre-
sentatives of American life as hearty,
genial companion, and as a strong man
and as strong leader of men.
Evidences multiply, day by day, show
ing in what high esteem President ROose-
welt is held by the men who are doing
the work OF the country; the work which
keeps life going, and makes 1.-The wheels
go round" And these intelligent. keen
workers. looking with clear eyes upon the
great fabric of society that they are
daily building, know how to pick a lead
er for themselves and their country.
Nothing can make the virile young
manhood of America turn it's eyes away
from Theodore Roosevelt. Nothing can
destroy the confidence in him of the
steady, hopeful toilers of middle age. And
TO the old and experienced the vain APP
peals of ancient party prejudices are but
as ratings to the deaf. Young, middle
aged and old alike in the great world of
industry and traffic, have made up their
minds about the coming election and
when it comes they are going to show
the faith that is in them
The American workingmen have no
doubts about Theodore Roosevelt. They
know just what to expect of him when
he is President. and they mean to have
it by electing him.
