no DOUBT whatever that he will nave
a much clearer conception If what
the leadil issue Is to be when he
reads the Democratic platform adopt
ed at Denver and Mr.. Bryan's speech
of acceptance.
In the meantime he can rest assur-
ed that when the representatives OF
the Democracy gather at Denver they
will not be unmindful OF the great
questions that are commanding the
serious attention of the voting masses.
such questions, for instance. as the
high cost OF living. what cause there
was for a panic In period of UMPIRE
cedented industrial activity. the op-
preston OF the consuming classes as
a result of tariff robbery and the need
OF dealing with the powerful corporate
int rests which are the beneficiaries
of that robbery. Burdened as they
are by trust prices in spite of panic

be depended upon in the campaign

PROBABLY MEANS DEMOCRATIC
VICTORY.

Since the country first became q re-
public the party In power has always
been blamed for any ills which might
arise while It held the administrative
reins. This holds particularly true OF
panics. The political history Of the
United States shows that whenever
a financial crisis has occurred. the
party that happens to be in power ut
the time, encounters defeat in the
succeeding presidential election.
There can be no question but that the
leaders Of The Republican party ap
preciatc this. as they are bending
every power In an attempt to show
that prosperity Is returning. While
they are singing about the revival Of
Industry, however. the business de-
preston increases. For instance they
have been chilled this week by the
New York State Labor Bulletin. which
is issued quarterly by the department
OF labor OF that state. In commenting
on this report, one Of the leading In
dependent,Republican papers in New
York city says:
AT the end of December last the
figures show a rate Of unemployment.
among union workmen OF 32.7 per
cent. as compared with an average
Of 1873 per cent. for the years i90?-e6.
One out Of every three union work
men out Of employnient-in New York
city the rate Is 34.2 per cent.-de-
scribes condition fraught with ma.
terial for serious thought to the party
that has hitherto dispensed prosperity
with such e1ubetant generosity and
with the assistance Of nature and ma
lures God. That the figures may
show Improvement before election
day. all such politicians must now lie
praying. To the building trade. with
a percentage Of likeness Of 42.1. the
summer win probably bring a certain
measure Of improvement: but sum
mer is the dull season for the cloth

Because OF the suffering and dis

conditions are to be regretted As the

ONE HEIR TOO OLD TO WAIT
PrOtestOr to Hill VIII Questions the
Capacity of the
Teatator.

The probating Of the will Of the late Lew
w. Hill at the request of three Of the
heirs has been postponed until September
10. James H. Hill, a brother Of the de-
ceased, and Shirley Wilson and George w.
Wilson, nephews, who are represented by
Isaac z. Congdon. asked for the postpone
ment to give them an opportunity OF filing
a protest. In their protest these heirs in
tend alleging that Mr.. Hill was not at the
time OF drawing the will entirely in contro oil
of his faculties-and they object to the
provision for leaving the property In trust
for five years. James H Hill Of Sidney,
Neb., is over 20 years of age and he and
his joint professors allege that il is not
just to ask a man of such advanced age
to wait five years. The will is so drawn
up that the property will be divided among
the heirs living at the time of its final dis
position. and this would deprive the heirs
and assigns Of James H. Hill from realiz-
ing anything on his claim II he should die
in the meantime. II the will is broken the
shares Of the $4,000 will be equal for all
the heirs, as Is provided in the will, but the
property will be divided Immediately.
