but it was printed in Spain and the
royal decreo of the degradation of
Prince Alfonso followed. The prince,
in concluding his Btory to his friends
eaid: 'Maura is tho head of the
clerical party in Spain and because
he holds a majority in parliament,
forced tho king to kick his own
cousin out of the country and the
army, to strip him of title and hon
ors for tho crime of marrying a
Protestant, who is a niece of King
Edward, and a first cousin of the
emperors of Germany and Russia.'
The king has again wired congratu
lations. The infanta Eulalle, the
prince's mother, who is here, is al
most prostrated over the ruin of her
son's career, as she knew that both
the Spanish and the British royal
families were in perfect sympathy
with the marriage."
Testimony concerning the death of
Lieutenant Sutton at Annapolis
shows that some of the superior offi
cers witnessed the assault made up
on him and that one of them told
his assailant Adams to "beat his
head off."
Aristide Briand is the new French
premier, succeeding Clemenceau. The
new cabinet is ais follows: Premier
arid minister of the interior and of
public worship, M. Briand; minister
of justice. M. Barthou; minister of
foreign affairs, M. Pichon; minister
of finance, Georges Cochery; minis
ter of education, M, Doumerguq;
minister of public works, posts and
telegraphs, M. Millerand; minister of
commerce, Jean Dupuy; minister of
agriculture, M. Rua; minister of the
colonies, M. Trouillot; minister of
labor, M. Viviani. A ministerial
declaration, which was formulated
and unanimously accepted by the
members of the new cabinet, con
tains an important statement indi
cating that the cabinet is committed
to a'n attempt to end the wan between
labor and capital, which has dis
turbed France for so many years.
of that minister's suddenly relin
quishing his leadership. M. Briand
is one of tho strongest men in
French public life, in tho opinion of
many observers. Ho is an orator of
extraordinary power and persuasive
ness and has been in parliament only
since 1902, thus winning his way to
the top in tho short Bpaco of seven
years. Ho started out in life as a
lawyer in a small country town and
when he went to Paris turned to
journalism rather than law, becoming
in course of time editor of La Lan
terne, one of the principal radical
papers of the capital."
At the plant of N. R. Allen Sons
Co., tanners, Kenosha, Wis., a riot
occurred. One thousand men had
gone on a strike for an increase of
wages. In a fight between officers
and strikers three men were shot
and several police officers were bad
ly bruised.
A Muskogee, Okla., dispatch, car
ried July 22 by the Associated Press,
says: "A strike in every city and
town in Oklahoma in support of the
eight hour law, involving thirty
thousand laborers of various classes,
was predicted for next week by
Deputy State Labor Commissioner
Wiley here today. Several hundred
street paving laborers and others in
Muskogee have been out several
days. Those working on public con
tracts have partially won their fight
and they are planning a big parade
for Saturday night in anticipation of
a complete victory. The trouble
started when the labor commisisoner
recently enforced tho eight hour law
and the employers cut wages to cor
respond with the reduction in hours.-
John S. Wise, Jr., of New York,
now in Paris, is quoted as saying
that Theodore Roosevelt has prom
ised to return to America in time
for the New York mayoralty cam
paign. Mr. Wise hopes that Mr.
Roosevelt will be the nominee.
In a cloudbuvst in Minnesota more
than one million dollars worth of
property was destroyed and three
lives were lost.

Aldrich himself sneers as a trick to
prevent an income tax; a sop to Tnft
to silence him and decelvo tho peo

lasting until tho early repeal pro

tho entire provision concerning
which Aldrich already announces
will bo entirely re-wrlttcn.
Tho party Is shamed as no party
ever was before. For tho first time
m American nistory every great
newspaper of tho dominant party is
in revolt against the falso leader

out tho land, there Is ominous anger
spreaumg among tho people that
forecasts a confirmation of tho warn
ing uttered by the president a fort
night ago:
"Unless the republican paTty lives
up to its promises and tho expecta
tion of tho people, thero is no doubt
that it will bo relegated to the posi
tion of tho minority opposition."
Wo do not believe that even a
glimmer of comprehension has como

rich of the bitter contempt with
which they are regarded by loyal
republicans throughout the land.
Senator Gore, tho blind man from
Oklahoma, whoso record of high
ability, consistency and fidelity to
principle has been tho brilliant ex
ception proving tho rulo of demo
cratic impotence, remarked when
Aldrich'a economic atrocity was be
ing rushed to final passage: .
"Mary had one lamb, and it fol
lowed her to school one day; tho
chairman of tho finance committee
has fifty lambs, and they follow him
-every day!"
A happy phrase! The sheep are
in tho fold, penned in plain view so
that 90,000,000 of Americans can
see their blackness. And restlnc

Justice Brewer of the United

we will see the states taxed not out

THE PEOPLE ARE BETRAYED
The following editorial appeared
recently in tho Philadelphia North
American, a republican paper:
Aldrich and the herd of trust-
serving senators of both parlies who
answer meekly to every call of that
spokesman of privileged wealth and
the law-breaking trusts have round
ed out their record of perfldity.
They have made liars of the re
publican president and tho republi
can party. They have kicked the
national platform into the waste
basket and repudiated every ante
election pledge.
With the actual and well under
stood needs of the nation being in
creased revenues and such modifica
tion of tariff duties as would lessen
the cost of living, while maintain-
deserve the hierhest honor. And thev
have received it. For Aldrich has
denounced them.
Aldrich, who, aside from being the
mouthpiece of the Wall Street gam
blers and the thieves of the trusts,
represents only the degeneracy of
the pettiest rotten borough that by
courtesy is called a state, assumes
in his arrogance to read out of the
republican party eight Imperial com
monwealths of tho central west.
Rotten Rhode Island tries to play
dictator to Indiana, Wisconsin, Min
