Sensation and Ancient History,

The Standard last week In at
tempting to reply to a TRIBUNE
article compared the st. Louis
Indians who tore up things at the
Clayton democratic convention, to
a reputcd drunken crowd Of "rcp-
ublican" genuine Indians at At
Okla, Ind. Territory, fcw days
before, and In which they were
accused Of dynamiting the town.
The Standards comparison would
have been all right, and tho st.
Louis democracy no doubt made
to feel highly complimcnted by the
same had II not been that the Ind
ian Territory story was next day
pronounced n sensational fake,
and our contemporaries little story
was badly rupturcd In Its infancy.
II was n lamcntablc catastrophe,
and the Standard sanctum was
draped in mourning for two days
on account thereof
The statement In the same arti-
Gle regarding political congress-
ional contest In this district In 1898
between Col. ID. =. Dyer and w.
4. Switzlor, was another practically
untrue story following the civil
war, unnecessary to rcsurrcct at
this time. Why didn't the Sta nd
ard editor instead publish some OF
hin rcputcd military career around
this district a few years prior. II
would have been much more inter-
csting reading. Congress by u
vote OF its members gave Col. Dyer
his seat In thnt body, after fully
investigating the matter, aud no
other body or power could. This
same Standard also tells us that
the republicans away back before
the war left the state almost bank
rupt, when the writer thereof well
knows the records In question show
how the debt was created by
"honcst" democratic leaders
and after being transferred from
one fund to another by its legisla.
ture has been so completely lost
sight Of that an investigating com
imittcc could not find the over forty
million dollars, and IL has evident
ly gone into the Doodle fund and
the perpetual school fund debt
The Standard Is still as unrcliabl,
politically as Is the weather. II
you read an article In its columns
derogatory to the republican party
you can safely bet ten to one tina

Some More Democratic Politics.

The democratic party OF Mis-
souri,, and especially Of st. Louis
city, had to swallow q good big
dose Of their own medicine and the
Ncsbit law last Saturday. during
the primary election of delegates
to the State democratic convcn-
tion, which II Is to be hoped will be
a stomach full TO them for a long
time. The principal question at
issue was whether tho delegates
should be for Folk or for Hawcs
for governor. The Hawcs- Butler
plug-uglics and policemen took
possession OF nearly every voting
precinct In the city, the plugs going
In large squads from ono voting
place 10 another, stufing the ballot
boxes, dragging out supposed
Folk men wherever they could
find them, and very frequently
striking wrong foAe~. While
this was perhaps the most dis
graceful AFFAIR OF the kind that has
ever taken place In that city, II
has taught tho democracy Of that
city that "chiclsrns do sometimes
come home To- roost," aud was not
In the Ncsbit law program when
II was enacted. Luckily, however,
no person was killed, though some
of the toughs should have been,
and many voters and innocent
persons were badly hurt. The
city democratic papers have been
well iillcd with statements Of con-
dcmnation Of the event ever since,
until IL now looks as though the
entire party must ere this be ON
the republican side because thcrc-
of, II their words ARE good for
anything. Even Gov. Dockcry In
threatening to do something, and

voters been republicans the govcr-

treated IL as n good joke only.

THE MISSION OF SOCIALISM
James r. Carey Speaks Against Elk
istinq Industrial Conditions.

James +. Carey Of Haverhill, Mass,
mayor of that city and one of the
leading socialists of the country, ad-
dressed about 200 people In Festival
hall Monday evening on the mission
of the socialist party in the United
| States Mr. Carey was introduced by
Walter Shelly Of Putney, socialist
nominee for representative from that
town, and talked for about an hour
and half, devoting most of his time
, 10 discussion of the industrial con-
ditions that prevail in this country.
He said the object of the socialist
party was to organize the laborlng
men into working class political
party through which TO secure control
of the powers of government and
thereby reorganze society upon a
basis of cooperative industry in
, which all shall be workers, owning in
common the machinery of production
and producing wealth for their own
enjoyment. He spoke of the "trusti-
fication" that is so rapidly increasing
in this country and pointed out the
danger that would come to the Ia
boring classes when manufacturing,
transportation and distributing in
dustries were all in the hands of the
capitalists Neither republican or
democratic party guaranteed any re-
lief from this condition, he said, for
both are promising "A continuation of
the present period of unexampled
prosperity" Mr.. Carey then pointed
out some of the indignities to which
the workingman has been subjected
during this period. Four years the
shibboleth of the republican party was
the full dinner pail'; now il is that
gambling phrase stand pat In
1900 the democratic party the other
wing of the buzzard, was believing
for 16 to / now ii calmly announces
that the money question is settled.
Mr. Carey said that the socialist par
ty does not object to Mr.. Rockefeller
as a man any more than 1t does To
the bedbug as a bug: the trouble
comes in their method of getting a
living.
In closing Mr. Carey urged the
cause of the socialist party as re-
lief from the barbarous and demoral-
izing system of capitalism, and said
that every workingman who casts his
vote for Debs and Hanford is voting
for the interests of the working class.
the success of organized labor, the
overthrow of capitalism and exploita-
ton, and the Fastening of socialism
and the cooperative commonwealth.
