4 A Weekly Resume of the Really Vital News by the Editor jg

All the Washington correspondents
are announcing that evidence of such
astonishing character has been accu
mulated by the department of com
merce that Roosevelt has decided to
institute criminal proceedings against
the meat trust and several railroads.
It is also said that he will demand a re
duction in the .tariff, beginning first
with the Philippines. If any such a
program as that is entered upon by
the president, there will be a speedy
attempt made to bring the democratic
party to life by he very plutocratic
and tariff grafting 'interests that sup
ported Roosevelt.
An old populist remarked to the edi
tor of The Independent: "Mr. Bryan
saved his little bunch of less than
. fiuy thousand democratic votes in Ne
braska. New what is he going to do
with them?"'
The vote for Tom Watson in - Ne
braska runs just a few hundred ahead
of the circulation of The Independent
in the state. But then many of its sub
scribers are in the habit of passing
around the paper among their neighbors.
The little portion of the map of tho
United States that is blackened to
show that it Is still in control of the
democratic party," has the greatest il-

being favorites of the government, will
be the last to be- called upon. Re
member that with every dollar that
the government withdraws, there goes
with it ten dollars of credit, hocus
pocus money.
The New York World says:
"Throughout the country the signifi
cant fact is that 'the conservative dem
ocratic vote has returned to the party
standards, which have meanwhile been
dfserted by far more than an equal
number of Bryan men, who did not as
a rule take the trouble to vote for
Waison, but supported Roosevelt
'straight.' " ,
Some strange results of the elec
tion have anoeared in Chicago. In
three districts where former demo
cratic r;ajorities ranged from 3,000 to
13.000, thiee young fellows were -given
the republican nominations without a
thought that they , would be elected.
They were all ' elected by overwhelm
ing majorities. One of them was a

The democratic leaders in New York
say that "the failure to carry the state
was not because of lack of campaign
funds. .The democratic state commit

money at its disposal this year as the

? I'rom Russia- we hear of the ever
ri.Gie frequent rioting of the reservists
wno are being called to arms. The
half-starved peasants and artisans,
discouraged by, the stories of suffering
ai-d disaster that come from the front,
and knowing that their wives and chil
dren' must be left dependent on already
pauperized cummunes, are summoned
to fight in a cause which has no inter
est for them, nor any rational purpose.
They find themselves gathered together
by the thousand often without food or
shelter, and they begin to loot and
riot. Of course, they are shot down
bu the regular soldiers who shoot
them are probably as rebellions at

One of Stoessel's favorite devices to
nerve up his troops has been to warn
them that if they fell, into Japanese
hands they would get no quarter. Of
late Nogi has been trying to disprove
Stoessel's statement by feeding his pris
oners well, giving them food, tobacco
and clean clothing, and then sending
them back by night into Port Arthur to
spread among their comrades the story
of their treatment. In consequence,
there have been a number of desertions
and the purpose of the ranK and file of
the Russian army to hold out to death
has been weakened. -;
The Fall River mills, . employing
about 20,000 hands, will reopen with a
reduction of wages of 12 1-2 per cent.
That is the first significant event since
the republican landslide. These mills
have been closed four months,, the
employes were on the verge. of starva
tion at the beginning of winter, and
it was either accept what the employ
ers offered or starve. The whip of
starvation is as effective as the whip of
uie" overseer under the slave system.
The expected has happened. George
Fred Williams rises to read conserva
tive democrats out of the party, and to
announce iat he is oh deck again
ready for business. - ?.
Parker got the straight Tammany
vote' and nothing else in New York
city. That wes fitting and proper. J.
Pierpont Morgan stole $290,000,000 with
his steel common stock and now the
king of Italy Is going to knight him.
That is also fitting and proper.
The republicans will have a majority
of 100 or more in the next house,
against a majority of twenty-eight in
the present house. Two United States
senatorships are lost to the democrats,
and the later returns increase the re
publican majorities.

Ellis county, Kansas, was the only
county in that state -that gave a ma
jority for Parker. It is settled mostly
with Russians and every Russian voted
for Parker. When they found out that
they had carried the county, they tele
graphed to Judge Parker, asking him
to send them a cask of whisky to help
celebrate the event; calling attention
to the fact , that when Dudley town

the only township in the United States
carried by Palmer, and Buckner. that
General JBuckner sent that township a

Judge Parker sent, the cask of whisky
or not. It however thought that tha
