test I ties that a I'nited States senator
iiik'ed him to remit the lines imposed

I'iimm the Ik'tiltming of otn govern
ment, f i'i 'in the time of Hamilton and
Jefferson, there has been a constant
struggle beiwecn the two schools of
politics, one holding that this country
was a nation and theother thai it was
a confedi ration of states. Sometimes
one of these schools has been in the
ascendency and sometimes the other,
but there is no doubt of the steady,
and In recent years rapid, development
toward centralization of power in the
national overninent. Wall Street
Journal.
The editor of the Journal has f re
MUently pointed out this fact in recent
years. Inn there has been a few dam
pin nils who pimhed at the Idea and pass
ed it upasa political sea roc row to win
voles. Such persons cannot make the
same reply to the above admission of
the great Wall street advocate of
the present administration, for it is of
the same political faith they are. We
are pleased to be able to give this proof
that the centralization of power in the
national government as contemplated
by Hamilton is now going on and that
unless many republicans cut party
lines the time is approaching when the
Km pi re will he a fact, then it will be
too late
Tiik ropuldican prosperity shunters
must now come down oil their high
perch and admit that their party
cannot maintain prosperity even with
the ;ussl.stauce of good seasons, bounti
ful harvests, an Indulgent Fruvidencc
and foreign wars. The condition in
the east is nothing but a repetition
of the Imkhii gambling period just pro-
ceding I j. They laid the 'K panic to
thf elect ion of a democratic president.
They have another opportunity to do
the same act; but is there anyone fool
ish 1 no igh tube fooled twice by the
san e lake story? The eastern trust
gait. blcis have had their run and made
millions out of the easy Maiksatidnow
they will turn 01T steam and let the
gi.ttidol l hulk diift with the tide,
winch has t in and will shoal all the
small fry. It surpasses anything that
can lie found In the history of the last
- -x years: the way the tarltl grafters
and trust combines are able to fool a
majority of their victims year after
year, and the latter appear to want to
be foulul seme more.

There were cat ami dried things at, SI .
Louis eight ycaisago. and more of the
same, barring the vice presidency, four
years later al l'liladelphia, hut this
Chicago convention sets a new stand
ard in k'igantic machine management.
Cortelyou, lie who at one time claimed
to lie a democrat mid sold himself like
l'.uil Morton for a mess of pottage. In
comes chairman of the national com
mittee, and will direct the campaign
as dictated to by the inmate or the
While House.
Mr. Koosc volt's humiliation brought
forth a burst of cheers, attended by 110
special enthusiasm. Mr. Fairbanks,
the Indiana icicle, was named as
planned, the states of Wisconsin and
Missouri andColorado, Illinois and Ne
braska having not even an opportunity
of presenting theiiamesof their favor
ite sons.
There were numerous life-long re
publican present who shook their
heads over what happened. When
they arrived in the Lake City they
were infesting the hotels w ith an air
of cock-sureiicss that told as plainly as
words that tin: republican party was
sure tosuecced next November. Some
of t hese men had planks to place in tlie
platform, others were interested in
contests that were at, least entitled to
a hearing, and others had favorite sons
tube presented for the second plaeeon
the ticket.
Wlscf nsin Is nn extreme example of
the manner in which the contests were
decided. C.ovcrnor La Follette's man
agers insist that not only did they not
have a respectful hearing, but that
they were actually insulted; and the
governor's following make no secret of
tin: feeling they boar lo the leaders of
the party, and there is much talk that
it amounts to open rebellion, that will
possibly put the Wisconsin electoral
vote in the democratic column at the
November election.
The Indiana men went to Chicago
without any dotinite plans for tlie nom
ination of Fairbanks, not seeming to
care whether ho was brought to the
front or otherwise, but a command
from the White House made It appar
ent that Toddy must have his choice,
and that settled the business in favor
of the Indiana icicle. It is a remark
able fact that when it began to appear
that the "drift" had set toward the
Indiana icicle, as some I'osey county
humorist lias named him, there was
frost" in the air, and it was not until a
bund was hired and a half dozen Hoos
ler delegates inarched along the hotel
district of Michigan avenue, the band
playing"! in the I'.anksofthe Wabash,"
that the least bit of enthusiasm was
aroused for tlie tail of the HooseveU
kite. This was about the time that
some evil hand lost no time in circula
ting the report that Mr. llitt, a prom
inent aspirant for the nomination, was
so ill that hisdeath might he expected
at any moment, whereat there were
fresh additions to the ranks of the
Fairbanks "boom." Col. K. C. Hen
ton of Massachusetts undertook to in
augurate a boom for Secretary Tart,
but the speed with which he was sup
pressed tilled him with astonishment.
Waldhridge ot Missouri, Springer of
Colorado, and our own John L. Vel
ster tried to remain in the race to the
last, ami their states wore loyal to
them so loyal that these three repub
lican camps are not at all happy over
the organized inside movement that
magnified Hitt's Illness, built an arti
ticial boom for Fairbanks and stuck
pins Into their own buomlets.
Then the apathy of the New Yorkers
since they returned to their homos Is
very apparent. A state that is always
high in the councils, noisest with its
band and marching clubs, most effect
Ive in the conference, was almost oil'
the map at this convention. Odell
and his friends and other New Yorkers
were not heard except through l.lack's
set speech. They tried to tie human,
and enliven the session by an adjourn
ment at a time when it was thought
proper, but the machine choked them
011 111 a miiiuie ny the watch. Their
enthusiasm for the ticket may be liken

The outlook right now is not very
bright for the elect i"ii ot the Chicago
ticket, and witli the proper wisdom
displayed at the St. Louis convent inn
next week, candidates w ill he placed
before the people that will snow under
Teddy and his tail-end icicle s" deep
that he won't know whether he is in
the White House or situated upon the
loftiest peak of the Kocky Mountains.
Tiik lolitical carpenters at Chicago
last week displayed their mechanical
genius in the construction of the re
publican platform. It is a boastiiiL'af
fair, well enough written, but do the
republicans hope to further deceive
the people? Look at this:
Our administration of the great de
partiiientsof government has been hon
est andetlicioiit, and wherever wrong
doing has been discovered the republi
can administration has not hesitated
to probe the evil and bring offenders to
justice without regard to party or po
litical ties.

Honest men don't stand a chance,
The more we work there grow behind

And will not give us what, Is due.
