atism. And conservatism, from it's view
point, means a greater regard for the rights
Of property than for the rights of man For
the interests of the few rather than of the
many. The statutes are full of laws which
bear witness to this statement. Capitalism
has become strongly intrenched under the
protection Of the Republican party. There
isn't the shadow of hope for reform from
that source.
To assume that the Democratic party is, or
can be, reform party is folly and amounts
to nothing short of confusion Its broken
promises of the past are living monuments of
its present depravity Any new promises
would only add to its iniquity. Nothing short
of sackcloth and ashes for thousand years
would answer as sufficient badge for re-
pentance for its past sins. Having assaulted
the public crib with such voracity as to be
kicked cut Of power by an indignant people,
it now seeks to restore itself by the commits
sion Of every crime in the deealogue. Whsr-
ever 1T has the power, and it is necessary in

The Democratic party of today is nothing
but an homogeneous and unmanageable mob
with an abnormal appetite for spoils Among
its devotees are to be found men of all shades
of political belief from ox-cart conservatism
to double-geared lightning fanaticism. In
its ranks are men who could join any party
on earth conscientiousy and without chang
ing their principles A catechism that would
embrace the Democratic faith of the past
would resemble a crazy quilt that had been
blown through Kansas cyclone, stepped in
Nebraska blizzard, and scorched in hell IF
the Democratic party, as at present organized
was in power today, it could not reform

AS a rule the Republican party does not
pretend to want to carry into effect what
it terms the radical measures advocated bv
the Populists. But the Democratic party has
made such pretension, and does yet Through
the false promises Of the Democratic politi-
clans advance along lines of political and in
dustrlal reform has been retarded to a much
greater extent than by the open opposition of
the Republican party. Nor can the Democrats
plead the baby act.'' That party has had
its chance, its opportunity. 1t has had the
President and both branches Of Congress at
the same time. 1t had the opportunity it had
so long prayed for. And what was the re-
suit? It permitted Grover Cleveland to pick
it up by the tail and set it down in the back
yard of the Republican party.
The Peoples party may have committed
mistakes. It may be guilty of fanatieism and
little visionary. But the worst sin it is
guilty of is it's dalliance with the rotten, cor
rupt and polluted politicians Of the Democratic
party.

coast of Asia Minor are i'll revolt against the
Prince of Samos and the Governor Of the is
land. Fighting. has been going on at Vathy,
the capital, for the past three days, and there
are numerous victims of the encounters.
The trouble appears to have arisen in con-
fict between the governor, Kopassiz Effendi,
and the Senate The Prince Of Samos was
seized by the malcontents and beaten. He
made his escape to the palace, which since
has been beleaguered. Requirements of
troops sent from Smyrna we're driven back
by fusilade from the shore. The revolving
islanders are being aided by the gendarmerie.
It appears that the telegraph Office has been
seized by the rebels, but dispatch sent from
Smyrna with today's date declares that the
attack on the palace continues and that there
has been many casualties.
Many women and children, fleeing from the
Island Of Samos, have reached Smyrna. They
represent the situation there to be most crit
ical. It is feared that the Turkish reinforce
ments, their way to the island will
start general massacre. A proposal that the
Powers dispatch warships to Samos is being
urged The Principally Of Samos exists I'M
der the guarantee Of France, Great Britain
and Russia, and thus comes under their
spheres Of influence
Since 1882 the Island of Samos has been
an autonomous principally, paying an annual
tribute to Turkey. The ruler, styled Prince
of Samos, is nominated by the Sultan and is

Mexico Passes Bank Bill
Mexico City-The Chamber of Deputies has
passed the Banking bill. In it's essential fea-
lures the bill regulates the establishment of
new banks, provides for an examination of ex-
listing institutions by a representative of the
Finance Department, denies collateral securi-
ties, and remedies the existing abuses relative
to long time loans.
Philippine Provinces in Clutch of Cholera.
Manufacturers has apparently taken Sc
rious foothold in the province of Pangasinan.
-Four Cities including Dagupan, are infected,
and the Bureau Of Health is sending add-
tional inspectors, planning to stamp out the
disease The entire family Of the lightkeep-
er at Dagupan was infected, and five Of it's

cred through inability to extinguish the light
in the day time. Cholera also is rife in the
province of Capiz, where 231 cases have been

There is no fear of a general epidemic.
British Discount Rate Drops.
London.-As anticipated, the rate of dis

day from to 1-2 per cent The authorities
had been maintaining the rate at 3 per cent
owing to the absorption of gold by France and
Germany but the London monetary position
had become so easy with funds at ] IA per
cent and discounts at l IA per cent below the
bank rate that the authorities had little choice
but to give the trade of the country the benefit
