NEWS OF THE WEEK
fi A Weekly Resume of the Really Vital News by the Editor JO
: It was a cruel thing for Judge Par
ker to send word for H. C. Davis, the
vice presidential candidate, away out
in West Virginia, to come to Esopus.
The weather is very hot and poor old
Davis is eighty-one years old. The
dispatches say that a private car was
obtained and the old man got into it.
No doubt there is a full corps of
trained nurses and doctors aboard.
The plutocrats will find,' like the
"heathen Chinee," that some tricks
are vain. One of them is that the
meat trust officials .precipitated a
strike to injure Roosevelt's chances.
:What can the meat trust possibly
have against Roosevelt? It is , true
that "Knox got an injunction issued
against it at a time when there was so
much feeling against it that something
had to be dene to quiet the mullet
heads. The trust made no objection
.to the injunction and its lawyers went
into court and said so. Then the next
day after the injunction was issued it
raised the price of meat again. There
-was a good case against every one of
the managers of the meat trust under
the criminal law, but Roosevelt re
fused to hurt their feelings by insti
tuting any such proceedings.
In some of the countries of Europe
they are attempting to make a pro
fession out of cab driving. Hereafter
,to get a' license to drive a cab, a
man must pass an examination much
like that required of a veterinary sur
geon so that he may be able to take
care of his horse. He must be posted
in all the ancient history of his lo
cality so as to give information to his
patrons. He must speak three or four
languages. He must study long enough
to acquire the ' manners of a gentle
man. ;
, Military despotism in Colorado is
proving a- boomerang to the very in
terests that inaugurated it. Business
and the mining exchange is at a stand
still. One of the leading capitalists of
Denver had closed a deal with New
York parties in which he was to re
ceive $300,000. The money was to be
deposited on Thursday last. Instead
of the deposit the Denver capitalist
received ; a telegram stating in sub
stance that until insurrection was
ended in Colorado and the civil au
thorities were able to preserve the
peace the parties had decided that they
would not invest money in the state.
Many other instances of the sort have
occurred. It is beginning to dawn on
the citizens of the state that the mili
tary occupation of the state is to be
continued until after the presidenial
election and that soldiers will invade
the polling booths the same as they
have the court rooms.
The Indian service is just about as
rotten as it was in the palmiest days
of the old Indian ring. Things seem
to be coming to a head and the com
missioner, of Indian affairs, who has
been trying to stem the tide of cor
ruption, has at last sent in his resig
nation. The philanthropic Dawes
commission down in the Indian ter
ritory, whom Mr. Boneparte recom
mended for dismissal, is still doing
business after the old way.
Over 50,000 persons have registered
for Rosebud Indian lands, where but
3,000 are to be located and not more
than 500 of that number of value ySuf
ficient to pay for the trouble and ex
pense of, proving up.. Uncle Sam's
latest lottery offers not as many
chances as the much denounced pol
icy game.
. Admiral Togo, in an official report,
Bays that in a recent fight he ar
ranged his ships in the form of the
first letter of the Japanese alphabet.
Any one who ever saw that alphabet
will wonder how lie ever got them
straightened out again without break
ing some of them in two, and if he did
that, to what dry dock he sent them to
get the crooks taken out.
Since Henry Watterson Jia come out

Russian general must believe that he

Japanese armies that confront him,
forming a line nearly 100 miles long.
Henry Gassaway Davis is a fit run
ning mate of Parker and the men
tion of his name gives delight to Wall
street. He is the president of two
railroads, a director in four national
banks, and along with his son-in-law,
Elkins, controls most of the coal fields
of West Virginia. By all means let
the Nebraska pops fuse with him.
It turns out that the Japanese tried
to play a scurvy trick on the Russian
commander and set afloat the story
that they had lost 30,000 men in an
attack on Port Arthur, when there
was not a shot fired on either day
that the battle was said to have been
fought The object was to get the
Russian commander of the northern
forces to advance on the supposition
that the Japanese army surrounding
Port Arthur was practically annihi
lated. The trick did "not win out.
A thing has occurred that puts a
new phase upon the whole war ques
tion. The Russians passed two steam
ers under commercial flags from the
Black sea through the Bosphorus and
as soon as they were in the Red sea
armed themselves with guns hidden
in their, holds and began to search
and capture German and English
ships. They took mail bags from a
German ship, and took as a prize an
English ship, put a prize crew aboard
of her and started her' for the nearest
Russian port. Germany has prp
tested vigorously, and the British gov
ernment has ordered a large fleet of
warships to the Mediterranean. The
last accounts were to the effect that
two British cruisers were guarding the
captured British ship at the mouth of
the Suez canal.
All England is aflame with the war
spirit and demanding that Russia must
apologize, denounce' the acts of its
naval officers or fight. On top of that
comes the news that France is mo
bilizing .her whole naval forces and
has ordered every man and officer on
leave to return immediately to his
ship. The probability is that Russia
will apologize. '
Several thousand men in the pack
ing houses at Chicago and other pack
ing centers are out on a strike. The
latest news is to the effect that pack
ing magnates have made new over
tures to the labor organizations and
the strike mav be settled.

Political Notes
The New York dailies are claiming
that the Jews will save Maryland to
the democratic party. Isador Raynor
was recently elected senator in that
state and he will immediately take the
field for Parker. He is a very effec
tive speaker. The New York papers
have not learned that there will be a
fully organized populist party to meet
in Maryland.
For twelve years the populists of
Nebraska have Io ally supported Mr.
Bryan, while a large number of demo
crats have fouftht him with the bitter
ness of death. To repay them for that
loyalty. Bryan demoerats have been in

But they have declared t hnt they will

Tibbies. Then tluy want us to fuse

all of the republican dailies, repre

thirty-five. That is about as truth
ful a representation of facts as is
ever .found in the dailies.

The great republican papers are still
crowded with complimentary notices
of Judge Parker. Every complimen
tary incident about the judge that can
be found or invented is given great
space, while poor .Teddy does not get
even ten lines." The great republican
dailies are owned by Wall street capi
talists and Wall street is for Parker.
Did ever any democratic candidate re
ceive such treatment from republican
dailies before? In 1896 those same
papers declared that Bryan was a
pauper, could not matte money enough
to support his family and was seek
ing an engagement as an actor,. This
bold and open advocacy of Parker by
the whole republican press is some
what of an astonishment to the old
political stagers of the democratic
party.
In the years gone by, the republi
can papers in campaign times were
wont to publish much matter about
the democrats swallowing the pops
or the pops swallowing the demo
crats, but since the great act was per
formed and Wall street swallowed the
democrats, not a republican paper has
had a remark to make on the subject.
OMBTI1ING lOING.
Hon. James H. Ferriss, who was
chosen chairman of the people's party
national committee at S'prlngfield, has
gone- actively at work, as everybody
knew he would do, and is "doing
things." In a letter he says that he
ha3 put J. H. Calderhead in charge of
Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon,
and Wyoming, to see to it that the
party is thoroughly organized in those
states and electoral tickets put in the
field immediately. Mr. Calderhead is
auditor of the state of. Montana, a
populist from the crown 6f bis head
to the soles of his feet, a successful
business man, and an untiring work
er. It will not be long before he has
things humming in those states.
Mr. Ferriss has assigned the states
of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, North
and South Dakota, to Mr. J. H. Edmis
ten. Edmisten as a campaign worker
has few equals, having managed sev
eral successful state campaigns in Ne
braska. He is fuller of light than a
bull pup and as active as a wildcat.
The states assigned to him wili soon
be in fighting trim.
Mr. Ferriss concludes his letter with
these words: "From all points that
I can hear, the democrats are desert
ing the ticket. I think that there will
be as great a slump as it was m the
last Lincoln campaign, when the
democrats put out their peace plat
form." ,
Paul Kruger, whose name will be
cherished by lovers of liberty the world
over for uncounted generations yet to
come, and when the names of Joseph
Chamberlain and Cecil Rhodes will be
accorded in history a place among the
oppressors of men, is dead. His last
days were peaceful. While his bodily
powers were constantly decreasing
from old age, he would sit for hours
with his Bible on his knees repeating
passages from memory which he could
not read because of his failing eye
sight. When Christ was crucified, His
enemies thought they were conquer
ors. Perhaps Chamberlain, when he
heard of Kruger's death, entertained
the same opinion of himself.
Ceorge B. Bolt of fit. Louis writes:
"A statement of, populist principles
cannot he made too often, arid I will
hcc that every pipfr mini hut into my
hand containing Hiuh a Pfateni'-nt of
principles shrill get into the hand of
an Intelligent voter, In the hope that
a few at least will le convinced of I he
rlKhti-otisnosH of our musf." That Is
the right way to talk. If a few thou
and of The Independent's readers
would talk like that, and then do ni
they talk, fliere would noon be n i-nun-try
on fire with reform enthulam.
