NEWS OF THE WEEK

A Weekly Resume of the Really Vital News by the Editor 9
any Intention of getting into the neigh
borhood of Admiral Togo.
The populist party never grew as
rapidly as it is growing now. Twenty
nine states already have an electoral
and state ticket in the field and six
teen other states have called their con
ventions to put up tickets.
' Roosevelt has written another book
and it is the most tedious reading that
was ever submitted to the American
people. The editor of The Independent
has asked fifteen very intelligent men
of this city men who read a great
deal and try to keep abreast of the
times and each one of them said he
h ail tried to read it. but positively he
could not wade through It. Newspaper
men whose duty it is to read all such
works have all acknowledged that they
did not? read "all of it." The book is
entitled: "Letter of Acceptance." It
'took ten long columns of solid minion
type to get into print. It has more
words than some of Roosevelt's former
"books which sell on the market at $1.50.
This could not be sold for one cent a
copy, so it is given away. That shows
how Teddy's intellect has depreciated
since he became an intimate associate
of Morgan, Rodgers and other pre
datory pirates.
of their surgeons. The Japanese pris
on hospital reports show that almost
exactly 99 per cent of the Russian
wounded which have fallen Into their
hands have recovered. What nation
ever made such a record as that before?
The hundreds of millions of dollars"
squandered by the republicans on the
l'hilippine islands is all irretrievably
lost. We might endure that, but it
is to go on year after year indefinitely.
Be sure that you put in a big wheat
crop this fall so that you will be able
to' pay your share of it, for Roosevelt
says that he is going to continue that
policy unchanged. - '
Parker says that the gold standard is
irrevocably established, but Roosevelt
says that Parker "can not be trusted to
take the additional action necessary to
improve and strengthen our monetary
system." Why does the gold standard
need strengthening? How is Roosevelt
going to do it? Will he bolster it up
with branch banking? ' Is he going to
melt the silver dollars? Is he going to
burn up the 34G,O00,OO0 of greenbacks?
Look out for something to happen
when congress meets this fall.
There seems to always be some wom
an who is a great power in the govern-
ments of the world. . A short time
ago it was Queen Victoria. Now itvis
Tsi An, empress of China. At present
she wields absolute power over more
than twice as many people as the czar
of Russia, and the fate of nations rests
upon her, as much or more, than upon
any other ruler. Her late conversion to
modern ideas attracts attention from
all the world. She is 70 years old and
when she dies no one can tell what
will happen. .
Several factories that have been shut
down for months are now op-ening up
They are all in places where the pluto
crats need votes.
Just one of Rockefeller's banks in
New York boasts of $200,000,000 of de
posits. One of the Morgan banks holds
deposits considerably over $100,000,000.
And these two tremendous financial
circles control a number of ' other
banks and trust companies, which
bring the aggregate of deposits in their
hands up to many hundreds of millions
of dollars. These are the great banks
which are striving to secure. the es
tablishment of a system of branch
banks, coupled with the right to issue
their notes with no other basis than
the assets of the banks.
' Tom Watson is a mighty eloquent
speaker, but it was not his Cooper
Union speech alone that set the woods
afire down in New York and other
eastern states. It got the men together
, to act in one party, but these men had
been frightened until the;hair stood
on end, before Tom Watson appeared
and were hunting some way of escape
from financial ruin. When Tom's clar
ion voice arose, saying: "Follow me,"
these men were ready to follow. Branch
banking would seal the doom of a good
many of them and they had just found
it cut. ' '
There has been no severe fighting
around Port Arthur. The defeat of
Kuropatkin, and the retreat of his ar
my further north, seems to be relied
upon by the Japanese to force the sur
render of Port Arthur without any
further loss, and they have consequent
ly stopped their assaults. However, the
correspondents keep sending stones
about the plans the Japs have in view
to take the place.
The Russian armed transport Lena,
to the surprise of everybody in this
country, sailed into the port of San
Francisco the other dayl Of course the
newspapers went wild over it. The
fact about the matter is that the trans
port is in a very bad condition. It no
doubt. came out of Vladivostok when
the Russian so.uadron there made- its
last raid, and the Japs cut it off. The
only recourse was to sail for the Pa
cific coast of the United States. ' It will
doubtlessly lay in that port, under the
neutrality laws, until the close of the
war. ' What is to be done with the
crew is not so clear. '

. While down on Wall street last win
ter, the editor of The Independent was
suprised at the frequent allusion to
the possibility of maintaining order in
great cities. When there to attend the
notification meeting at Cooper Union,
he noticed th-e extraordinary precau
tions taken to guard the president asj
he crossed the city, some 250 police
being detailed for that duty. Tuesday's
dispatches from New -York say: "Mur
ders, highway robberies, burglaries and
crimes of violence in New. York make
such an appalling record that news
papers and committees of citizens are
making frantic appeals to the author
ities for ; better protection: .The fre
quency of such crimes was not real
ized until the newspapers began to
compile and publish lists of such
length that the city is alarmed. Al
though the strike has been declared off
for several days at Chicago, there was
the largest riot near the stock , yards
there last Monday that has occurred
since the strike was first called. Theret
is a cause for all this -and The In
dependent has been calling attention to
it for the last four or" five years, i
A Democratic Democrat
Editor Independent: Democratic
democrats belong this year-in the pop
ulist party. It is their duty as 1 see
it, to aid in the defeat of Parker. The
first reason is that the populist princi
ples are more democratic than are
those now advanced by the democratic
party, if the indefinite propositions
which form its platform can properly
be called principles.
The second reason is that defeat for
the democratic party this year will re
sult in definite democratic principles
as a foundation for the party in 1908
while success for the democratic party
this year will mean republican success
in. 1908 or the present republican doc
trines for the then democratic party.

Some investigations by the Boston
Herald have revealed the fact that
twenty men own real estate in New
York city to-the value of $1,000,00000.
William Waldorf Astor heads the pro
fession of the monopolists of God's
earth, his holdings being excess of
$150,000,000. And up to this year, the
whole people down there continued to
"vale 'er straight." At last there is a
prospect that it will no longer be so.
Senator Tillman is orating again.
This time he says: "Negro equality
is something that will not be tolerated
and that no power in the world can
force upon us, a race war is inevitable,
with the result that the negroes will
be exterminated." Exterminate the
negro! Was-ewr any greater nonsense
uttered? Whom does Tillman think he
will fool with that sort of talk? He
would himself be the first man to fight
against extermination. If there were
no negroes In South Carolina.' Senator
Tillman would have to go to picking
cotton himself and there is "no power"
that could ever make him do that. The
negro is tho foundation of the wealth
of the w;ch and without him there
would be little elao than starvation and
savagery there. -
A thing happened last week that if
it had not beeH for the wars in prog
ress, and thernolitical campaign, would
doubtless have occupied, a large space
in the news columns of the daily press.
The fact, astonishing as it was, was
only given about three inches of space
Wireless telegraphy, was established be
tween St. Louis and Chicago, the first
message sent being over three hun
dred words which was read without
the least difficulty. It is claimed also
that messages were sent simultaneous
ly to Seattle, Wash., and the Philip
pine islands. The system employed is
the invention of Dr. Lee De Forest. It
may be that the Western Union com
pany had something to do with the
small notice given it. If the system is
what is claimed for it, that grabbin
corporation will perhaps in the near
future receive its just deserts, which
will consist of being wiped out of ex
istence.
The government at Toklo has sen
out an official statement of the losses
of the Japanese in the fighting around
I.lao Yang. The killed and wounded
amounted to 17.523, which substantiates
