A Weekly Resume of the Really Vital New? by the Editor
A dispatch from New York says that
the southern democrats who are spend
ing their vacations and taking their
. outings at Saratoga declare that ev
ery southern state will be solid for
Grover Cleveland at the democratic
national convention. If one is to dge
from the sneers and slurs at Bryan
that are appearing in most of . the
southern papers, what these rich
southerners at Saratoga say is correct.
Lord Salisbury, late 5-iglish pre--taler,
is dead. He was the persistent,
aggressive tory of the last generation.
He was born February 3, 1830. His
aristocratic coni-ections enabled him
to hold office a great many years.
When political exigencies demanded
it, he has made concessions to the
common people, but he never had any
respect for them. When Gladstone in
troduced a measure to establish parish
councils, Lord Salisbury exclaimed:
"Parish councils! Much better give
them a circus." In his long career he
has done nothing that will be remem
bered favorably in history. The Boer
war was the last great measure of his
administration. His career has been
marked with incredible tergiversa
tions. He opposed the land act of
1881, an? then favored it. He opposed
Gladstone's Egyptian policy, and then
advocated it. He opposed the exten
sion of the suffrage and then secured
its adoption. He fought the home rule
policy of Gladstone with the ferocity
of a savage, and then aided his party
to pass an Irish land bill more favora
Mfl to Irish tenants than Gladstone
ever proposed. He kept himself in
office during the last years or. nis me
hv tnakiner a fusion with the liberal
union party which Chamberlain
headed.
The railroad renublicans in Wiscon
sin are pushing Stevenson in opposi
tion to La Follette and w. u. jurus
aids the movement with two col-
' fcmns of fine type in the Chicago Record-Herald.
That was to be expected
of Curtis. If the corporation repumi
cons cannot prevent the nomination
of La Follette, they will join their
forces with the reorganization demo
crats under the lead of Vilas, a mem
ber of Cleveland's cabinet, and vote
the republican ticket just aa that kind
of democrats everywhere do under sim
ilar circumstances.
are opposed to corporation rule is
shown by the condition of affairs in
Denver. The Denver News (Tom Pat
terson's paper) says: "The regular
democratic organization ha3 fallen lo
cally into the hands of men who are
controlled by the corporations and
who are assuming to proceed through
the action of a committee because they
are afraid to call primaries or hold a
convention to choose delegates to the
btalo convention which will nominate
a judge of the supreme court They
havft broken the narty rules and are
ignoring the wishes of the voters of
the party both in regard to the new
charter, the state convention ana me
choice of a new committee for the city
and county." The News calls upon
the democrats who are opposed to cor
poration rule to form a new organiza
tion. Hadn't Tom Patterson better
t.ke his paper and himself and get
back into the people's party.
The. whnlfi dailv Dress of the United
States is in a state of wonderment
ever the discovery of a congressman
who has refused railroad passes. His
name is Baker and he lives in Brook
lyn. N. Y.t and was elected by the
democratic retorm movement wmcn
fights Dave Hill and Grover Cleveland.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
republican literary bureau located in
the statistical offices at Washington
it is generally conceeded by all in
telligent persons that our export traae
to the Philippines is no longer in
creasing, but actually declining, and
that what little trade does exist is due
to the presence of our own people in
the islands, a great silence has fallen
lmon the imoerialist newspapers re
garding the material advantages of this
far-off conquest A few fire beginning
to reiterate the benevolent assimila
tion ideas and one or two the God and
manifest destiny talk of three or four
years ago. One has taken the position
that it was never expected that the
trade of the islands would amount w
anything, but they were gobbled be
cause we wanted a foothold in Asia to
push our trade with China. They don't
attempt, however, to tell how the sub
creation of those islands is going to
aid us in selling goods to China, They
eavc that to the imagination.
ing even a women or a child. Every
Christian government in the eastern
hemisphere is guilty of these murders,
one as much as any other, for they
hava niinwoH this barbarian govern-
ment of the sultan to exisz ami uu
piicate all the horrors recorded in an
cient history.
Tom Johnson captured the Ohio
state democratic convention. He was
able to do it by having all the creden
tials of the delegates referred to the
state committee under a rule adopted
a year ago and that committee was
composed mostly of Johnson men.
The platform mentions the, money
question only in an indirect way. The
summary of the platform sent out by
the Associated press is as follows:
"We, the democrats of Ohio, reaffirm
ing the declaration on national issues
cf our platform of 1902, adopted at
canHnew iiprhv renew our allegiance
to the democratic party of the nation
and again avow our devotion to the
principles of its last national plalform.
We accordingly condemn colonialism
and imperialism, denounce trusts and
tiust fostering tariffs, repudiate gov
wnmpnt hv iniunction and oppose
financial monopoly, together with ev
ery other legalized monopoly and le
galized privilege. Adhering to these
principles of J,he Kansas City plat
form, we repeat our condemnation of
all efforts to renounce or ignore tueui.
Never since white men began to
roam over these plains, certainly not
since the first great movement to me
TWkv mountains and California in
1849, has there been such a season as
the present in all these western re
gions. For two years before thi--3 there
has been more rain than ever before in
what is called the semi-arid regions,
but this year goes far beyond all prev
ious records. Far out from the Mis
souri river where it has been with dif
ficulty that crops were raised at all
for want of rain, there are thousands
nt ooroa nf porn that have been
drowned out and every low place in
the flat plains is covered witn water
until ' the regions of sandy soil is
reached. Even there, the wheat, the
corn, the alfalfa grows as it never
grew In any other place on earth.
Then on the first three days of this
week floods of water fell in the Mis
souri and Kansas river valleys, in
some instances, as at Council Bluffs,
to the depth of six inches in a few
hours. Similar reports come from sev
eral Kansas towns. Immense damage
has been done by these floods.

Chicago is on a rampage, determined
to have pure food. Some scores of
milk dealers have been arrested for
selling, milk below tt.) grade estab
lished by law and 800 warrants were
swor nout in one day charging mer
chants with selling adulterated food.
The fact is that very few articles of
food are sold in these days of cem
ir.ercialism that are not adulterated in
some way. Chief among these articles
Is process butter made by the cream
eries, the owners of which were so
anxious that the people should not be
deceived by buying oleomargarine.
The Chicaeo Public savs: "If only
a moderate proportion of the demo
cratic newspapers of the country would
tbrow oft their allegiance to tneir
Plutocratic masters . . . they would
soon give us a democratic party to be
proud of." But they won't do it In
stead a whole lot of them, especially
in the south, who declared that they
had done so, are going back to the said
plutocratic mas-rs. You can't get
them to stand even when they are
hitched. The moment an agent from
Wall street comes along and cuts the
halter thev run away. Mr. Post should
look over his exchange list and notice
the number of the Kansas City plat
form papers that have run to shelter
under the Cleveland coattail. Not an
assault has ever been made on Bryan
la any populist paper.
The republican dailies have been
tinner us latelv very much about the
glory, magnificence and honor that
has been achieved by John Hay and
the state department in getting two
more ports opened tor traae to an na
tions in China. What these great Chi
nese cities are like to which we have
been admitted to trade is shown in a
cablegram to the London Times. One
of them is described as follows: "On
the Chinese side of the mouth of the
Yalu is the town of Ta-tung-kau, with
5,000 inhabitants. From tne ancnor-
age to the shore it is a distance ot tour
miles by a narrow channel, or rather
ditch, which is dry at low water. This
is the port which America desires (jni
na to onen to foreign trade." The
other one is like unto it. The whole
press of the United States being prac
tically under the direction of plutoc
racy, the people are made to believe
that a great and glorious thing has
been done. The obvious duty of ev
ery reformer is to push the circula
tion of the few papers left that dare
to print the truth.
A lead trust ha3 been organized with
$27,000,000 capital, half of it in mort
gage bonds and half stock. No act
ual money has been involved in the
whole transaction. A large number of
plants have sold out to a syndicate
and taken their nav in stocks and
bonds of the new organization. That
is thfl wav that most of this business
cf trust forming is done. What act
ually money is used goes to the pro
moters and the combined plants in
etead of being richer are actually that
much poorer. It takes money out of
actual production ana puts it in tne
hands? of eamblers to be fritted away
!n vachts and monkey dinners. How
a nation can get rich that way is one
of those things that no pop can nna
out
That there la scarcely a dace in the
whole United States where the demo
cratic nartv can be relied upon by
,,,,,tbpse who wish good government. and
Miss Ruth Bryan, daughter of W. J.
Bryan, will take up college settlement
work at Hull House, Chicago, under
Miss Jane Addams. Mrs. Bryan and
her daughter recently visited Chicago
and Miss Ruth became very much in
terested in the sociological work tnat
is carried on at Hull House. Miss
Bryan is nineteen years and has for
some time been deeply interested in
sociology and economics.
The soft coal trusts have been ad
vancing the price 15 cents a ton each
month since the first of July and in
tend to keep up the practice until the
erst of January. As long as tne gov
ernment refuses to enforce the crim
inal section of the anti-trust law the
trusts will continue to multiply in
rumoers ana increase tneir exactions.
