A Ni:w democratic paper, of a clear
free silver jingle, is soon-, to be
launched in Chicio, as indicated by
tho press dispatches. Colonel V. C
Wetmore. tho late St. Louis tobacco
manufacturer, is named as the prob
able backer of the enterprise. The
supposition is that this project will
fill a "long felt want."
Thk Weepiiiu Water Advocate is
laboring very hard to create sympathy
for itself and prejudice against the
Republican of that city by making
claims that the latter is not loyal tu
tho republicans. Ilowover, the Advo

weight, as Mr. Koilhley has been a
good, square republican too long to
bo charged with disloyalty.

.?..00,0f0,0(i() came in dutyfree. The im

TilF.ui: is a noticeable ami constantly
increasing demand for good roads.
While other moans of transportation
have made steady progress anu costs
of freights havo been reduced enor
mously, tho country roads over which
tho fanners havo to haul their pro
ducts to markets have not improved
correspondingly. So mo of them are al
most as bad in condition as when they
wero first cat through. At certain
seasons of tho year many established
roads are as impassable, and ready
transportation as impossible, as when
first cut through.
Those who have formed an idea of
the exposition at Omaha from the Hee
or World-Herald will have a very im
perfect conception of tbrc groat show.
In point of beauty in arrangement of
tho grounds and in the illuminations
it surpasses the groat show of 0S. The
exhibits are not all in place, but the
character of them is of more interest
than last year's exhibit. There are
more manufactured articles and ma
chinery and not so much corn, wheat,
Ifoats and grasses. The music and other
special features are equal to last
year's attractions.
It is useless to deny that tho policy
of protection to American labor and
industry is more or less responsible
for tho existing deadlock on the wage
question between the tin plate manu
facturer and their employees, says the
American Economist. Had there been
no protective tariff on tin plate there
would certainly be no labor trouble in
that industry at trie present time, and
for the best of all reasons: There
would be no tin plate industry in this
country and the question of wages
could not possibly come up. It will be
remembered that prior to the enact
ment of tho McKinley law there wore
no tin plt-te mills, hence no labor
troubles.
AQUINALDO, the Filipino leader, is
quoted having said in a recent 6pecch I
at Tarlac, at a celebration of tho an-
nlversary of tho Filipino "declaration
of independence," that "we shall wo
at lust that the grea t A mericau nation
will acknowledge tho right which is
on our Hide. Some states of
the A mericau union have arisen in
our favor. I'peciully i.s tho demo
cratic parly con vincod that both vic
toi s and vanquished will lose precious
lives. Thus many of the people and
many statesmen censure President Mc
Kinluy as inhuman for having ordwrcd
his military representatives at Manila
to seek moans to bring about hostil
ities with tho Filipino.."
I'KOSl'KICIl V IN THK 1VKST.
One of the facts which has adiscour
aging elTect en tho loaders of tho loni-oc.-atie
party is tho groat iucroaso in
i ml nsl rial activitv in the west. 11 very
body, democrat as well as republican,
who tells any tiling nowadays about
tho nocial conditions in the western
states mention-! tho prosperity which
is diffused through all of them. Ilusi-nt-ss
is more active in all of them than
was ever known before, say s tin; Gloho
Domocrat. The reports of tho bank'
clearances from all quarters of the
west show an immense increase in
transactions since last year at this
time. The earnings of the western
railroads are at the highest figures
ever touched.
Assistant S eretary of the Treasury
Vanderlip,who has just returned from
a tour Ihrou-gh several states in the
Mississippi Valley, is eloquent about
the evidences of industrial activity
and prosperity which he saw on every
hand. Ho remarks that this is killing
tlu-. silver issu" as a democratic dogma.
Democratic leaders in the wet are
saying the same thing. There is a
strong disposition among the shrewder
democratic magnates of the western
stab s to take up some other isaue,and
let silver drop out altogether, or put
it so far in the background thai it will
not figure with any prominence in the
canvass. The. Stories, Hryans, Joneses
and Atgelds arc apparently still anx
ious to stick" to it, and they are liiccly
to carry tho convention with them, but
the wiser men of their party, both pol
iticians and editors, are urging their
aide to give up that issue and talk of
something else.
The defection of thu west is a serious
thing. for the democracy. It was on the
west that the democratic bosses looked
for a great part of their electoral votes
nextyear. They knew that the number
of states which they can carry in the
south will not furnish them with more
than half the number of votes which
their parly will need to give it the
victory. The south has long since
ceased to be sol id for the democracy
Many votes will have to come from the
west to that party if it is to have any
chance to win. The democratic land
ers know that they can get very few
voles from the west under present con
ditions. It was the business depres
sion resulting from the democratic
pauic of JS03 which created the condi
tions in the west which gave the dem
ocracy several states in the MissLsipoi
Valley and on the Pacific slope in 1S!H.
Republican prosperity has ensued sinco
then, and tho entire situation is
changed. This is why the reports of
business activity and general prosper
ity thiouiiho'ut the wet, which come
from democrats and republicans alike,
have a disheartening effect o.i tho
democratic leaders. It means . sweep
ing victory for tho republican party
in 1000.
FOKKMOST I-UJIKK AT t;II I C A ti I .
Undoubtedly Mr. Dryan expressed
true political philosophy when he said
at Chicago on Thursday evening that
the democratic pa' ty was "going out
to light" in l'.HM) on the Chicago plat
form, and that il was not "going to
ask 'Is this thing popular?' but Is
this thing right? " Hy that ho meant
that the democracy woii'd go into the
fight with a square declaration of its
real purpose ti ucliir g silver, says the
New York Sun.
A bold and straightforward policy i.s
the first requisite of a party m nation
al politics. Courage, of itself, attracts
support by winning respect. The
reason of the present dominance of
Mr. Dryan in tho democratic party is
that there is no courageous opposition
to him in the party. He represents
something positive, but his opponents,
who are machinating to deprive him
of the nomination next year, rep -o
sent no principle which they dare as
sert and defend. They call themselves
"gold d -mocrats," and generally they
voted against him in S!i(5, On the
ground that the silver issue repre
sented by him invites appalling disas
ter and even infamy for their country,
and the maintenance of the gold stan
dard is essential to the national pros
perity and national credit, but now
they aro abandoning that ground with
a pusillanimity unexampled in na
tional politics. Not one of them dares
to demand or advocate or even to
suggest in a whisper that tho demo
cratic platform in 1900 should be favor
able to tho gold standard.
In 1S0G the sentiment of these oppo
nents of Mr. Bryan was expressed posi
tively and courageously in the plat
form of the so-called national demo
cratic party, adopted at Indianapolis,
to this effect: "We insist upon the
maintenance of .the gold standard and
the parity therewith of every dollar
issued by the covernment. and are
firmly opposed to the free and un
limited coinage of silver." But how
is it with them in 1S00? Now they are
simply intriguing to prevent any posi
tive declaration on the subject of tho
monetary standard in the democratic
platform of 1900. They are trying to I
creep out of tho light. They were '
u-.. u.. .
brave in 1S9H, but in 1899 thev aro
playing tho part of cowards.
Under such circumstances these so-
called "gold democrats" are bound to
bo beaten ignominiously in the demo- j
cratic national convention next year, '
and they will deserve their humilia
tion. They are afraid to "go out to
light" for their principled, and inevit
ably they will be whipped by tho
forces who have the courage and self
respect to declare their position and
light for it manfully.
Cowardice, equivocation, subterfuge
area fatal reliance in politics. If tho
"gold democrats" cannot defeat the
nomination of Iran by making a
square gold platfo m for the demo
cracy they cannot prevent it at all.
Tho democratic party must be either
for yold or for silver, and as tho gold
faction dares not demand gold it will
obviously le for silver, on which side
aro all the courage, consistency, and
lighting spirit of the democracy.

WASHINGTON, July 2. Tb war
department has issued a statement
quoting certain dispatches from Gen
eral Otis In answer to the press corre
spondents' "round robin." The gen
eral says In substance that the corre
spondents wish to send statements
that would Imperil operations; that
they had no specification to support
their charges against him and that
these charges were untrue. He denies
that ho minimizes the work of the
navy and quotes from naval dispatches
to Justify his statement.
The text of the statement Is as fol
lows
General Otis in a dispatch under
date of July 20 says that the press cor
respondents demanded permission to
cable that official reports sent mis
represented conditions. Tills was
denied. They then demanded the yrlv
liege to send without reservation facts
found by them and their opinion. Thl
was granted If public interests were
not imperiled. The answer was not
satisfactory and they therefore sent by
mall to Hong Kong. General Otis says
he is not conscious of sending mis
representations, but thinks that his
dispatcher at times have ben too eon
servative. Ihe press affair appeared
to be a threat. Vhen correspondents
were asked for information wherein
General Otis' dispatches were mislead
ins they offered nothing tangible ex
Pept that his conclusions were unwar
ranted. When told that they wero dis
regarding military authority, it was
apparent that they courted martyrdom
which it was unwise to Klve them.
"In a later dispatch General Otis
says that the charges made by the
press correspondents are untrue. He
adds that the most harmonious rela
tlons exist between the army and th
navy. He gives the following extract
from a letter just received from a lead
ing Filipino at Tarlac. which is the
center of the main insurgent army:
" 'For some days have been trying
to leave this band of thieves. Watched
so closely Impossible to leave. A great
many people here long for American
troops to advance, for every one Is
desperate, with so much savagery
committed by Agulnaldos army.
"Captain Barker of the navy, who
sneceeded Admiral Dewey ia. command
of the fleet. In sending the report ot
the commander of the Yorktown to
the navy department makes this ea
dorsement:
" 'I am pleased to note the cordial
co-operation of army and navy.
"As bearing upon the statement that
the operations of the navy had been
minimized, it may be stated that Gen
eral Otis has repeatedly recognized th
work of the navy, as, for example, in
his dispatch of June 15 last, in which
he says:
" 'The navy aided greatly on shore
of bay, landing forces occasionally.
And again under date of July 9: 'The
army and navy are in hearty aceard
and the best of feeling prevails.' "

CHICAGO, July 22. A special to tbe
Tribune from New London Junction,
Wis., says: George D. Mc.'klejohn, as
sistant secretary of war, is reticent in
the matter of the resignation of Sec
retary Alger. It is understood that
Mr. Meiklejohn aspires to succeed the
retiring secretary.
Message after message was sent
from Washington to this city on Tues
day, entreating the assistant secretary
to return at once, that ne might not
be overlooked in the search for a uo-
cessor to Alger. Mr. Melklejohij
claimed to be unaware of the fact that
Senator Thurston had gone east to
present his name for consideration.
and as to the probable developments
In case he should be selected, the offi
cial would say nothing. He affirmed
that the manner In which the Philip
pine war 1 now being conducted is
perfectly satisfactory to the adminis
tration. Mr. Meiklejohn would say
nothing regarding any changes that
might result in the conduct of affairs
in those islands. He was reticent on
the relations of Mr. Alger to the presi
dent.

stated that he had been misquoted.
General Anderson made the follow
ing statement: 'I said that my dlvl
