in Tuolumne county, Cal, have been
sold by John Ballard and M. H. Mar
tin to Captain William A. Neville for
$1,500,000. The mines have been in
litigation for ten years, each partner
striving to gain control. When Neville
was manager of the Rawhide mine it
paid 12,000,000 in dividends, but since
then it has paid nothing. Under Ne

Three hundred young women of
Chicago who are all to become public
school teachers, were recently pro
nounced physically perfect, including
nerves and eyesight Never before
has so large a proportion of the num
ber to be examined passed the re
quired tests. At the New York Nor
mal school inquiries recently elicited
the fact that nineteen-twentieths of
the girl pupils were taller than their
mothers. The heroines of the English
novels of a century ago were as weak
physically as they were mentally. The
modern girl Is wholesome and strong

Talk of "sympathetic strikes" re
minds Grand Chief Arthur, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
of one that he conducted when only a
boy working on a farm. "The force
of hands had dwindled to two, a fellow
named Joe and me. The farmer decid
ed to discbarge the other fellow,
whereupon Joe suggested that I should
(top work also, leaving the farmer in
a fix. This I did. ' I went out on a
sympathetic strike: hut th result
that the farmer hired Joe back again,
and I was left out in the cold." It
would not be safe to generalize too
broadly on his unhappy experience. If
It carries any moral with it, we need
Qot point it out.

TRUSTS IN GERMANY
THE FATHER LAND ON THE VERGE
OF DISASTER.
The Iniquitous Protective Tariff Ii
Working- Kola to th Industries of
'ihe Empire The Kind of Industrial
Despotism That This Country May Yet
tUperlsM.
A recent report from our consul-general
to the German Empire shows that
high tariff and the formation of syndi
cates or trusts have placed that em
pire on the verge of disaster. Com
menting on this the Nebraska Inde
pendent says: As this country is the
land of trusts, so Germany is the
country ol syndicates. There is scarce
ly a ramification of trade, the mem--trs
of which have not combined for
tae regulation and control of prices,
and even the quantity of output has
been regulated by them. Protected by
tariff the syndicates have been enabled
to inflate their prices to that limit
which Just renders foreign Importation
and competition Impossible. Another
means of preventing foreign competi
tion Is that the syndicates refuse to
supply any customers who purchase
similar articles from foreign manufac
turers. The retailer must obtain all
his goods from the home manufacturer
or be boycotted. The result of this
industrial despotism is that the re
tailer is considerably limited in the
choice of his source of supply while
the foreign competitor fines no market
for his goods.
Another serious phase of the situa
tion is that the home retailer discov
ered that while he was paying tremen
dosu prices for his goods the same
articles were being placed upon the
foreign markets at a ridiculously low
figure, which absolutely precluded the
manufacturer from reaping any profit.
In short, the retaKer r.ot only pay
ing dearly for his goods, but he was
also paying for the loss that the manu
facturers were incurring in the foreign
markets.
Such a condition of affairs could
have but one outcome. The inevitable
result has pnsueil. The manufacturers,
secure from foreign competition by the
protective tariffs, have increased their
prices to such an extent that now they
have attained an unenviable and ab
solutely untenable position. The re
tailer refuses to pay the exorbitant
Hitu vus , vwu.t uiai in vj im-
mand has considerably decreased. The
commercial dtpraision, which at first
was considered to be only temporary
In character has now deveU ped into a
matter of grave importance. In the
early part of 1900 it was impossible to
obtain sufficient labor to cope with the
orders in hand. Now it is difficult to
find adequate work for the laborers.
Some Industries, such as coal mining,
are still fully occupied, but others, such
as the iron trade, are experiencing
serious times.
Is not this a counterpart of what
may be expected to happen in this
country?
AWFCL CORRIPTIOJJ.
In nearly every state there is some
corruption of the body politic, but it is
a matter of congratulation to Populists
that they can point with pride to how
little there is in the states controlled
by their party. On the other hand,
there Is hardly a single Republican
state that has not had a scandal con
nected with the meeting of the legisla
tures. In some states so notorious is
the corruption that as in Pennsylvania
even Republican newspapers are com
pelled to denounce it. The utter de
pravity of the Republican machine can
be seen when the Pittsburg Post says,
"'No better illustration is available as
an object lesson than the bribery and
corruption which ran riot in the last
legislature of Pennsylvania, It was
something awful in its extent and its
audacity. Every part of the Btate has
become familiar with the purchase of
votes of legislators, the prices paid and
the Influential character of the men In
business and social life who did the
buying. That is the worst of it The
bidders for votes, with their pockets
crammed with bribe money which they
lavishly disbursed, are of the class who
should be expected to set a good ex
ample and maintain a high standard of
public morality. Instead of doing that
tbey do the reverse. They make the
most Infamous crime fashionable, and
a matter for jocular remarks, rather
than the most bitter denunciation pos
sible, followed by criminal prosecution
and severe punishment Between one
and two millions of dollars of bribe
money was disbursed at Harrlsburg
last winter and spring by men of prom
inence who would consider themselves
harshly and unjustly assailed if set
down as anarchists. But are they not
anarchists? The anarchists would de
stroy all government, but what differ
ence Is there between that and cor
rupting government and making It a
reproach and a shame? Republics can
be destroyed without the shedding of
blood by the power of bribery and cor
ruption. "It Is no snrprlse to learn that the
monstrous example of the carnival of
bribery at Harrlsburg last winter has
established itself In cities and bor
oughs of the state, snd that the price
of votes has almost as quotable an
article as the price of pork, flour or
whisky. "We hear remarkable stories
of the bribery of councilman In Pitts
twrg and Allegheny snd in some of
fkt smaller cities snd even la the bor
oughs of the rural districts. If legisla
tors accept bribes for the discharge of
taelr public duties. It Is no surprise
that the local legislative bodies should
do so. Sometimes matters have reach
ed such a pass tbst tbey are bribed to
ta right as well as to do wrong Tbey
have no conscience in the matter, aad
the ironclad constitutional oath haa nc
more effect than go much waste paper.
This fearful crime is Increasing, If thi
briberies that are talked of privately
could be made public with incontro
vertible testimony of the crime, such ai
exists, a revolution would be created
The bribed rascals who sell their votel
are bad enough and should b
drummed out of public life and into th
seclusion of the penitentiary. But an
they the worst of criminals? Is nol
the crime of offering bribes by men o'.
stsndixg in business in the professions
and In politics infinitely worst? Th
people of all parties should arous
themselves to this great peril to out
institutions and to the cause of public
morality. It is anarchy in its mosi
odious and demoralizing character. Tht
bribed ones are anarchists and tht
bribers more so, as instructors snc
tempters on the same highway to per
diUoa.
OCR POLITICAL DICTATORS,
That Wall street is the master and
dictator of this country has been evi
dent to all American citizens who havt
ttdied the matter and noticed the
trend of events. Yet it is seldom that
the financiers openly boast of the
power they wield, but Russell Sage
that eminent authority on the men
and measure of Wall street says:
"I have talked with practically all
of the representative financial men of
this community, and ail agree In their
determination' to uphold President
Roosevelt We feel it ia our duty to
stand by hira to show our faith in his
ability to successfully carry on our
nation;J government"
Now, that is very kind and consid
erate of Sage and the financial men,
but what would have happened if
they had decided not to uphold the
president. Are we to understand that
Wall street will decide for itself if it
will support the constitutional head
of the government or not Undoubt
edly under the pnsent financial sys
tem Wall street couid' precipitate a
panic as it did la the Cleveland admin
istration. The banks all over the
country would at a word from Wall
street stop loaning money, and call
in the loans and universal trouble
would occur and the wheels of busi
ness in a great measure be suspended.
This is a vast power, and Wall
street, according to Russell Sage and
the representative financial men, is
prepared to tisa it when occasion
arispS; Mctny of them oneiilw threaten
ed to do so, If Mr. Bryan was elected,
but it is hardly likely they would
have carried out their threats, better
counsels would perhaps have prevail
ed. There is a covert hint or even
threat in the Sage interview that Wall
street is willing to give President
Roosevelt a trial, that they are not
altogether satisfied with him and that
it will be well for him to follow In
the grooves that the financial machine
Is now running in.
Wall street has a great deal too
much power for the welfare of the
people.
AX AStTI-TRIST TLAN."
Ex-Senator Chandler has solved s
plan of action for the Republicans and
amongst the things that he says must
be done Is to "deal wisely with prob
lems connected with the perpetual
strife between capital and labor. Sup
press the huge corporations, which are
made so huge, not to promote economy
of production, but to create monoplles,
which will keep up the prices of com
modities and keep down the wages of
labor. I he Kepubllean party must do
this."
And tbc-n in reply to the question,
"Can these things be accomplished?"
he says: "The repeal of the charters ol
fourteen hundred million dollar corpor
ations would have been achieved undei
Mr. McKInley. It will be no less ac
complished under Mr. Roosevelt. His
conservatism will certainly not lead
him to do less for the interests of the
workingroan of the country than Mr.
McKinicy would have done."
It is possible Mr. Chandler may have
discovered some plan by which the ad
ministration may repeal the charters
of the giant trusts, but as these char
ters are granted by the states it is not
clear how the Federal government can
repe-al them. Those trusts that do ao
lnter-state business can be controlled
by Congress, but even Congress cannot
disfranchise a trust or any other cor
poration that Is doing a state business
There is also great doubt if the Roose
velt administration will not be at
powerless to control the trusts as the
late administration was. The Repub
lican party Is under too msny obliga
tions to the trusts and its leaders arc
too much Interested In some of them
to be likely to even attempt to hurt
their own friends, Mr. Chandler to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Coaling the ships of war at Santiago

full tribute to the trust like the bal
ance of us.

IMPERIAL POLICIES.
WILL BE BEFORE CONGRESS AT COM
ING SESSION.
The Indications Are That the Republi
cans Will Unite on a Flan to Hold
the Islands as a Colony with Limited
Independence to the Filipinos.
The future treatment of the Philip
pines will be for Congress to settle
uexl wiulvr, auu there ia hardly a
doubt that great difference of opinion
on what the permanent policy shall be
will make the question of imperialism
again uppermost in the minds of the
people of the United States. A large
party of Congressmen of both parties
have been visiting and inspecting the
islands aad their report of the condi
tions there will largely influence others
in deciding on the course to bd pur
sued. Commenting on this the Wash
ington Times says: A curious item of
news reaches us from the Philippines,
In the Camarines province, a banquet
has Just been held which was attended
by several if not all of the American
senators and representatives now visit
ing the islands. Speaking at thin ban
quet Senator Bacon and Representa
tives Gaines of Teanessee and Green of
Pennsylvania are reported as having
stated that "as soon as the war was
finished the United States would ex
tend to the Philippines freedom as it
was known in America." The Repub
lican members of the delegation pres
ent are said to have refrained from
speaking. The inference is that there
was probably some difference of opin
ion between the Republicans and Dem
ocrats concerning the matter referred
to, or at least, that the Republicans
did not feel at liberty to make any
promises.
It is quite probable that the idea
Intended to be conveyed was that the
Islands would be treated as an Integ
ral part of the American Republic, with
all the safeguards of constitutional
government thrown around them. Up
on what basis these gentlemen felt that
they could give even such an assurance
It Is difficult to comprehend, unless it
bs that they had in mind a modifica
tion of pulley to feuuit ffuiii a cliuugi?
of the political complexion of the
American government.
It is rather early to figure upon that,
though, for at the soonest such a
change must be nearly four years off.
Besides, the report Is that according
to these gentlemen the Philippines are
to have American freedom as (soon aa
the war is finished. We must conclude,
therefore, that they were cither speak
ing in very optimistic vein, or that
tht-ir statements were accompanied by
Qualifications that were omitted from
the news report.
However, the American public will
be truly glad when the war Is finished,
and the number of people in this coun
try is by no means inconsiderable who
believe that nothing would have con
tributed more to finish it long ago than
an official announcement that full Am
erican freedom would be extended tq
the islands.
LABOR'S I.KHHON A HARD ONE.
The voice of labor Is losing Its in
fluence with the Republicans; the cam
paigns of 1896 and 1900 showed that
the persuasive and alluring powers of
Hanna were more cogent than the
fear of the trusts, Chinese immigra
tion and other matters that the labor
platforms denounced. For this reason
It is doubtful if the extension of the
Chinese exclusion law will bs passed
by Congress. Labor Is calling for their
exclusion, but 'the best business in
terests," including the railroads, want
the Chinese admitted. The more
cheap labor, the greater their profits.
Chinese labor is not only cheap, but it
is docile. It does not strike, but is
satisfied with almost any conditions if
the dollar a day is only promptly paid.
When labor aided In defeating the
Democratic party at the last national
eiection, they hung a Btone about their
own necks that makes it impossible
for the Democratic party to save them
at this juncture. They aided In giv
ing the Republicans both houses of
Congress and the hands of the Demo
cratic are tied for the time being.
Labor, with many other people that
also sided the Republicans are learn
ing a hard lesson that will cost them
dearly for the mess of pottage that
was promised them.
There are two ways In which they
can now help themselves. By bring
ing all the pressure possible to bear
on Republican members of Congress
who represent close districts, they may
force them through fear of being de
feated to vote with the Democrats for
the Chinese exclusion bill and on
other matters in whlcii they are Inter
ested, If this fails of success, by elect
ing a majority of Democrats to Con
gress next year, they will lay the
gwundwork for a complete victory ol
the party of the people at the next na
tional election.
OtR TROUBLE Iff PIHLlrPIKES.
There is no doubt that the civil gov
ernment set up In the Philippines Is
for all practical purposes a failure.
Governor Taft has probably done ev
erything possible to make It a success,
but the conditions are unfavorable for
lha dual government that has been set
op. The promises made to the Filipino
leaders to Induce them to surrender
can In many Instances not be carried
out, and the great increase of taxa
tion Is causing great dissatisfaction.
The orders from the home government
to end the war at any cost aad to
promise a civil government to the Fili
pinos, In which tbey should participate
as far as home rule was concerned, has
been feusf Impossible la many of tka
provinces for lack of friendly natives
and in other districts where army offi
cers have been appointed to civ!! office,
the leaders amongst the natives are
dissatisfied bees use no home rule pre
vails, In reality It only being a thin
veneer for a military government in
which the Filipino has no parcel or lot
The massacre in Famar and the
I'stsmect that conditions in other
parts of the Philippines are not reas
suring will open the eyes of the Amer
ican people to the task they have un
dertaken and the enormous sari flees
of blood and treasure they must make
to carry out the imperial policy. An
expensive and cumbersome attempt at
civil government, which Is in reality
a satrapy under the protection of the
military, with about all the civil ser
vants imported In fact, a copy of the
government of India by the English
cannot be expected to bring peace and
satisfaction to the Filipino, nor gratifi
cation to the people of the United
States who are furnishing their sons
for slaughter and the millions of
money to pay the bills.
The time has come for either giving
the military full power and recalling
the civil servants until such time as
peace has been well assured by the
strong hand of the soldier, or granting
to the Filipinos a government of their
own under the control and guidance
of the United States as we have given
to our new territory of Hawaii.
The imperial policy must be a gov
ernment of force or it la a failure.
REK SPEKCII AND I REE PRKSS.
In all this furore to pass repressive
statutes against anarchy and anarch
ists it is well for our statesmen to re
member that great mistake of the Fed
eralists, the "Allen and Sedition laws."
To suppress anarchy is one thing, to
suppress free speech and revive No
nothingism Is another. Is history to
repeat itself?
Free speech and a free press arc the
essentials of liberty; they cannot be
abridged without a return to the times
of monarchies and kings, which would
be to us a return to the dark ages.
The Chicago Public commenting on
this wisely says: Should the unpatri
otic effort now making to destroy this
inheritance succeed, should conspiracy
against the person of the president be
made treason and the right of free
speech be abolished, it will be for no
other reason than the ignorance of the
masses of the people. Not Ignorance
, . 'Tv , '
of the things that would give the right
to vote under educational teats, not
ignorance even of history in respect to
its incidents. Not ignorance of those
kinds. But an ignorance far more
dangerous to the commonwealth, aji
Ignorance which the learned share
with the Illiterate ignorance of the
lessons which the history of Anglo
Saxon struggles for liberty teach. This
kind of history is not taught In our
schools. If St were, free speech, free
press, free assembly, and security from
prosecution for constructive treason
would be as dear to the hearts of the
people now as they were to those who
fought for our independence, who
framed our constitution, and who in
overwhelming numbers overrode those
earliest attempts at anti-anarchist leg
islation which holds an Infamous place
in our political history under the name
of the alien and sedition laws.
NO CONCESSION TO CtllA.
The beet sugar trust and the tobacco
interest have already commenced their
war against any concession to Cuba
through their trust-controlled Con
gressman, Hepburn of Iowa has set
himself squarely against tariff con
cessions to Cuba, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. He speaks primarily
for the beet sugar interest, but having
r-ommltted himself on that ground ap
peals to the tobacco interests for sym
pathy. Neither of these interests
cares anything about the other, but
each dreads the competition of a great
Cuban export and we find them now
in a very natural combination.
There is, however, no way in which
we could help Cuba so much as by a
reduction of the sugar and tobacco du
ties, and if the people who agree with
Mr, Hepburn carry out their policies
unimpeded the country will be In a
very bad dilemma morally. It has re
fused Cuba complete liberty, and It
has shown a disposition not to grant
annexation, which would result in free
trade. It prefers to keep a hold on
the Island, which puts It completely
at Its mercy.
Meantime it has been making loud
professions of humanitarian ism to
wards Cuba, snd has emphasized their
bollowness by a striking contrast be
tween Its treatment of that country
and Hawaii. Hawaii, which has a
much smaller proportion of whites to
its population than Cuba and a much
larger proportion of Chinese and Jap
anese coolies is admitted to the full
rights of an American territory and
given a free market for its sugar.
The Court of Appeals of the State ol
New York has handed down a decision
sustaining the constitutionality of the
anti-trust law of that state. The rase
decided was the American Ice trust
case, which was Instituted when the
ice trust arbitrarily fixed the price ol
lee at 60 cents per 100 pounds, and yet
the trust organs persist in saying thai
no laws can be constitutionally enacted
to reach the trust.

Industry Is protected by the tariff from
competition, managed to wring from
the American people the comfortable
sum of $if5i.871 during the past all

Iter Verve ed Sral Lives.
A year ag'J the husband of Mrs.

with an injury that prevented him
from attending to his work and also
made him subject to epileptic 0U.
Mrs. Hirsch is an expert needlewo
man, and has been able to keep the
family together, in spite of the fact
that her husband had taken to drink.
The other morning after a hard night's
drinking, he arose from the breakfast
table, drew a revolver from his pocket
and said: "I am going to kill you all."
There was Insanity in his look, but
Mrs. Hirsch remained perfectly cool.
"Where did you get that pmfoi?'r she
asked, pleasantly, as the madman
came toward her. lie did not answer,
but leveled the weapon at ber bead.
The woman never flinched, but said
In ever tones: "Now, Henry, If you
go that they will lock you up, and
then you won't be able to get. a drink
at all." The maniac had been prepar
ed for resistance, for terrified cries,
for fight for anything but this. It
confused him and he muttered, "That's
so," as he put away the weapon and
left the house. Half an hour later he
was on his way to the insane depart
ment at Bellevue hospital. Mrs.
Hirsch was terribly shaken by the ex
perience, but soon recovered.

Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov.

the summer here. His shooting school
has been one of the features of the
Park during the season. He has giv

the rifle Is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he onci had when liv'ng at Elk
hart III. He had bsen a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
it rapidly developed Into Bright's Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed Is to
put it very mildly. This plucky man.
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at
last he was to be conquered by such
a cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases Dodd's

He says: "I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
