BHTAX. WATSON AfiD PirVLlSM. In the clash of trenchant peos be tween the redoubtable Colonel Walter son, editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, and the fiery Tom Watson, candidate of 'the people's party for president of the United States, some sparks of truth about populism and Mr. Pryan's connection with its organ ization are being thrown forth that are worthy of preservation. Mr. Watson Is very much In earnest. He feels that his old college chum and political bed fellow, Mr. Bryan of Nebraska, has deserted the principles for which they shed ink and oratory In two memora ble campaigns and should no longer be countenanced by the true friends of populism. In one of his hot-from-the-forge editorials Mr. Watson snys: In 1X96 Mr. Bryan claimed to be as good a populist as Watson. For eight years he wore every shred of clothing which popu lism had In Its wardrobe. In 1904 he aban doned his populist raiment and entered sealoualy Into the Parker campaign, which he himself had denounced as a sell-out to the Wall street element of the democratic party. Doubtless Judge Parker would agree with the first tart of this statement, even If disposed to charge Mr. Watson with exaggeration of the enthusiasm displayed by Mr. Bryan In support of the democratic candidate In 1904. But Colonel Watterson has an explanation which many former populists In Ne braska will be inclined to accept as correct. Replying to Mr. Wataon'B arraignment of the Nebraska leader, Colonel Watterson writes: Mr. Bryan has always claimed to be a democrat. But, out In the west In the '9os, It was anything to beat the republican. At his worst Mr. Bryan played populism against republicanism in Nebraska, as Mr. Watson Is playing populism In Georgia against democracy. Colonel Watterson deserves credit for the frank admission that when Mr. Bryan was courting the populist vote in 1896 and in 1900 he was following the policy of "anything to win." The record shows that Mr. Bryan and his political managers are trying the same scheme this year by seeking to prac tice a deception on the populist voters of this state by which votes intended for Tom Watson shall be counted for Bryan in the electoral college. It's another clear case of "Anything to win." , KSXTUCKY'B RElQIt OF TERROR Kentucky is furnishing an illustra tion of the manner In which crime breeds crime. For more than a year the "Night Riders" have been in tho saddle, burning the tobacco ware houses and destroying property of farmers and planters who have either sold their tobacco to the so-called Tobacco trust of who have ' refused to comply with the order of the riders that no tobacco be planted this year. The work of these outlaws has been complete and effective. Tobacco is one of the greatest products of Kentucky, but In the regions'' covered J?yt the Night Riders", not. leaf ot tobacco la growing this year. Scores -of per sons have been killed and property valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars destroyed. While the purpose for which the 'Night Riders" formed their organiza tion has been accomplished, the wan ton destruction of property is an every day happening and human life" Is all too cheaply held. The lawless element Is taking advantage of the conditions that exist. There has been but one conviction In connection with th night riding. Juries drawn from the body of the state have refused to convict; county officers have refused to prose cute, and judges and court officials have declined to punish. This failure of the law Is due largely to the fact that the "Night Riders" have prescribed death for Informers and have filled the prescription in several cases. As a result of this condition, many men who were in sympathy with the fight against the Tobacco truBt, but who abhor murder, have their lips sealed concerning the outlawry that Is being committed by the "Night Riders" since the close ot the tobacco war. State troops 6ent into the tobacco districts have been powerless to cope with the situation. The murderers still ride like bandit conquerors, wher ever they wish to go, and robbery and arson mark their trails. The situa tion is a little short of anarchy, and the most alarming feature of the situa tion is the complaceny with which the existing state of things is regarded by a community of educated. Intelligent American citizens. . ,, LABOR COfiDlTlOHS IMPROViya. Democratic newspapers are placing gleeful emphasis on the bulletin issued by the commissioner of labor for the state of New York for three months ending with March 31. This .bulletin shows 26 per cent of the members of labor unions In New York out of em ployment for the first three months of the present year. The democrats who are hailing this as an evidence of con ditions existing under a republican administration will probably be slow in printing the further evidence of the statistician of the labor bureau, who declares that the figures printed In the bulletin no longer obtain, as there has' been a constant and rapid improvement in labor conditions since the first of May. The statistician, Mr Stevens. In an authorized interview, says: This office ran aay wltheut reservation that employment conditions have been steadily Improving alnce May is. We get our Information from a staff ot state agents attached to this office, who visit between thirty and forty labor unions and factories every day, and report to ua what they find. I have rot been able to tabulate the employment figures from March to June for our second quarterly report, but a distinctive Improvement will be shown tn the pamphlet containing tola tabulation, which will be publlahed some time next September. The statement by Mr. Stevens Is iu perfect accord with reports that have been printed from time to time of th general betterment of business and In dustrial conditions in the east Prac tically all the railroad men have been returned to work and th big steel mills are working their forces to 75 per cent of their capacity. In the tex tile mills In New England nearly 80 per cent of the forces are employed and Improvement Is being noted in all lines, in spite of the usual mid-summer dullness. Improvement Is also reported throughout the south, while from the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast the farm labor supply is unequal to the demand. TOO I1VCH HORSE PLAT. Mayor Jim and the democratic city councllmen are Indulging in altogether too much horse play on the matter ot the city tax levy for the coming year. The council in committee of the whole decided to keep the tax budget $60,000 below the charter maximum and then In regular session the next day voted to put It up to the very top notch. The maximum amount of $1,150,000 had never before been raised by taxation but once, that being for the present year, with the excuse that the various city funds had been depleted and needed work held over, entailing un usual expenditures. When the big tax levy came up to the mayor he vetoed it, insisting that it should be reduced not only by th $50,000 which the council had added. but alBo by a very substantial addi tional sum representing outlays in curred this year, which would not have to be repeated next year. The may or's veto was sustained on formal vote, but only to be overridden the next mo ment by a resolution re-imposing the same maximum tax levy. If this levy now becomes effective by approval of the acting mayor, who as councilman voted for it, the horse play will be completed. Mayor Jim will be able to point to his unsuccess ful effort to reduce the tax levy and each councilman will be able to boast having voted both for it and against it But when the taxpayers come to foot the bills they will not see the Joke. Mr. Bryan was very much pleased over the decision of Secretary of State Junkln concerning the fusion arranged last spring by the democrats and the people's party. This will have the effect of throwing a large number of populist votes to the demo cratic electors of Nebraska. World-Herald. This Is just what the Bryanlt law yers denied at the hearing before the secretary of state. They denied that the use of the stolen party label would give the Bryan electors the vote of a single man who would not vote for Bryan, anyway. Now that the decision has been won they openly boaBt that "a large number of populist votes" are to be purloined for the democratic presidential electors in Nebraska.' Tom WatBon proposes to capture the electoral vote 'of Georgia and turn it over to Mr. Bryan,- If the deal would secure Mr. Bryan's election. Mr. Bryan will, of course, promise to do the same thing with the demo-pop electoral vote of Nebraska if it would elect Watson. What is pollltcal honor among friends? The death of Senator Allison nulli fies the effect of the primary election, which turned almost wholly upon the question of who should represent Iowa in the senate. There are some things which no primary law can provide against. The Minneapolis Journal says that while Mr. Bryan may capture the Ak-Sar-Ben vote, he is almost certain to lose the Kroy-Wen vote. Yes, and also the An-Ald-Nl. the Sio-Nll-Ll and the Nis-Noc-Siw vote. It is rich to hear the Bryanlte organ talk about campaign tricks and in the same breath apologize for a double- shuffle electoral ticket which Nebraska democrats have put up in order to trick the populists. Our amiable democratic contem porary, the World-Herald, should at least have the decency now to with draw the charge that Secretary of State Junkln Is a "prejudiced Judge," but will it? An American consul reports that no hunter is allowed to take more than two elephants out of Africa in one year. Well, two elephant ar about all the average hunter would want to carry. The suggestion is respectfully yen tured that the Immediate compulsory Durchase ot the wster works by the city Is not a very good issue to force on the people for this campaign. Mr. Hearst admits that he does not expect to elect his ticket, but he has a notion that he will make it impossible for one of his old-time dear friends to elect his ticket. The extra set of populist presiden tial electors filed by Brother-tn-Law Tom at the eleventh hour in response to a hurry call may expect a release order.

Mr. Hlsgen, In run ning on the Indepndence league ticket, ran truthfully say that he Is not an office- seeker. PERSONAL NOTES. The really great Inventor is certain of honor. London has banqueted the creator of the Marcel wave. This affinity business Is getting so com mon In New York that for the sake of convenience the term has been shortened to "affln." Oeneral Mortexa Kahn, Persian minister to the United States., estimates that within the last few years 10,008 persons have been killed In political riots In Persia. An Englishman Is said to have fallen In love with the widow of Marshall Field and the affair is spoken of as a "romance." That's no romance. It's plain business. A London doctor says that gasoline fumes are the finest disinfectant. Never theless the mortality tables so far as com piled are against the automobile as a pro moter of longevity. "Gross mismanagement. Invincible stupid ity, Intolerable conceit and general Incapac ty were salient features of the British com mittee's handiwork In the Olympic games," Is th comment of the Freeman's Journal. This is "Irish as she spoke" tn Dublin. T. W. Fltapatrtck, consulting architect of the International Society of Building Commissioners, say tho fire lost In the United States every year la (100,000,000 greater than the amount spent In new construction.

Marquis, who has already made a national reputation through his edi torials, poems and Short stories. Is to con tinue as associate editor of the magazine. Edward B. Moore, commissioner of pat ents, will shortly said from New Tork to attend the congress ot the International Association for the Protection ot Industrial Property to be held In Stockholm on Au gust 26. This will be one of the most Im portant meetings ever held In connection with the patent and trade mark interests of the United States. PREPARED POR PROSPERITY. Activity of Men of ASaira Shows Di rection of the Current. Baltimore American. Everywhere the country Is preparing for prosperity. The general public, however, Is slow In giving assent to the announcement sounded by those whose field of observa tion is wider; so that when one and an other man high In Industrial activities or In public life heralds the dawning era any amount of latent skepticism Is stirred up. Those who do not feel like believing that the nomination of Mr. Taft is a guarantee In Itself of a new order of things are at liberty to .Indulge their incredulity, as the proof of the pudding Is in the eating. But entirely aside from that really epoch-making event, as millions believe It will prove, the signs of prosperity are abundant. It would be a useless work to recapitulate them, as they have been dwelt upon before. But It Is pertinent to observe the activity of the men of affairs to get In the stream when tha tide begins to flow. The Steel trust is an illustration of the general spirit of preparedness. While Its slump was far short of that ot 1883 and 1894, in the reduction of profits. It output has seriously waned and th showing has, until lately, been far more encouraging. Nevertheless, there are about this Industry signs of early revival, not unnoticed by those accustomed to look to It as one of the best crlteiions ot the industrial times. It Is In a position to make Its output much greater than formerly with the same fixed charges. This tends to equallxa to some extent the reduction In profits. The present output is much more profitable than a simi lar output prior to the beginning of th liquidation that led to the panic. With th tide (if prosperity running high sgaln, ths returns to this colossal Induatry will be monumental. Th steel Industry is interesting, not be caueo the people generally, outside the holder of Steel stock, are vitally Inter ested In its fortunes, but as sure indication of the growth of enterprlae that will reault tn every man finding his place again at wheel or spindle and as the recipient ot a satisfactory wage. Just how much of this gratifying condition may be credited to the belief that Bryan cannot wlj and h?w much of it la to be credited to the Inherent nat ural prosperity of the country Is a matter requiring too keen analysis to be practically demonstrated at the present time. It la enough to know that everywhere the alert managers of Industry are preparing for the swell tide of returned prosperity which Is not expected to suffer abatement. The finishing of the Panama canal will open wide the door to South America and Asia and Sll vastly to the wealth of the people of the United States. Certain it is that th political policies of th country-are sound. Certain It Is that ths public economy 1 right. Certain It la that the conduct of private enterprlae has been and is being modified so aa to prevent conditions arising for a recurrence of th panic. Certain It is the exigents! currency measure, unsatisfactory as It would be for a permanent policy, has something of an assuring Influence, although It may never be called Into play. These ar simple facta. They ar out of th range ot successful denial. So that the pessimists had better begin to look for riataa and stop calculat ing how thick is the cloud bank that has been shutting from their el U sun of prosperity. O rRP.SIDRXTIAt.PIRI7iat.INB. Some Reflectloao on Democratic Rain how Chasing. Madison (Wis.) Democrat idem ). Mr. Bryan will come nearer being elected than he ever came before, yet in all likeli hood will he not b defeated? Just pause an Instant and ask: Can he carry Wisconsin? If not, then can he carry any stats of the middle west? Viewing conditions and Dosslbilities with the calmest of understanding. It is not easy to imagine that ne can aucreeafully lnvad this section. There really Is nothina to In. dlcate such an eventuality. Then, how about New York? Rareiv hu that state failed the republicans when a full vot Is out and of course It win ha out the coming fall. No condition exists whlcn renders the political situation this year different from Its chsracter four yesrs ago. at least, not much different. Mr. Bryan has abandoned the frea silver heresy, but Is yet regarded by capital that means canning, railroading, merchandis ing, contracting, fartnrl nf Ind til aIb wherein volumes of money are needed wnn a suspicion thst perhaps never can be allayed: and In New Tork. It must be re membered, that capital through its mvrlad ramlflcatlona exerts an Influence of tre mendous force. It permeates evenr mill. every factory, every counting room, stor. omce ana snip, its freedom and fearless ness Imply plenty of work, plenty of busl. ness a healthful, wholesome Industrial and commercial condition. Surely, can It ha expected now to contribute to the as cendancy of one whose utterances for a uosen years nave been deemed by It harm ful and hurtful? It is too mm'h to expect. It cannot be conceived as more than a vague probability. Then, doubting the like lihood of political revolution In snrh rep resentative states west and east as Wis consin and New Tork. may one reasonably believe that Mr. Bryan can wint ,A enthusiasm may lead to the conviction that ine aay of the "great commoner" has come at last, yet resson and equanimity and an understanding of statistics leave m. ih vision messurably clear even thus early regarding election day probabilities. Tarn the Llarht On. Fort Wayne (Ind.) News (lnd.). " It Is given out with limit hvnnmlra h the democratio managers that they "do not want campaign contributions from questionable sources." vet rh time arrangements have been made for the sub-rosa receipt of coin from any old quar ter, in ine publicity declaration It stated that only contributions in excess of nw would be made public, the others being "too trifling to be of general Interest." Tet It Is these "trifling" contributions that would be of especial Interest, particularly right here in Indiana, where It Is ascer tained that a movement la on font to cure a contribution of $99 from every man connectea witn the liquor business In the state. Just what tjronorttnn nt th..- trtbutlons will be actually made bv the men presenting them, one versed with th situation here ran readily Imagine, and the lr.tfnlous method adopted to avoid pub licity speaks eloquently of the determined attitude of an Interest deeply concerned In the outcome ot the election.

Mr Bryan has by th special Interests, yet ths fact Is noionous that here in Indiana his cam paign Is being finsnced and "managed by one of the moat objectionable special inter ests In the country-the brewery combine. The Twltlarfct Zone. Boston Herald (rep.). Mr. Bryan's description of the "twilight sone" of the presidency Is notabty perti nent In this campaign. "There Is," he says, "a wide sone In which the president must Set on his own Judgment, and her h. ought to have the aid Of intelligent, con scientious snd ralthful advisers." Beyond the clear, strong light of definite law there Is the twilight of presidential opportunity and power. The welfare and safety of the nation are placed In th hands nt ,h- .,..1 dent and his advisers. Will the nation pre- mr me guidance or William H. Taft, trained and tried in the public service, ,up' ported by the advisers whom he will call to his counsel, or that of William J. Bryan, untrained and untried, advlaed by Alfalfa Bill and other Oklahoma statesmen: Qeorge Fred Williams. Charles F. Murphy, Flngy Connbrs and Charles A. Towns? The possibilities of the "twilight son" ar th Issue in this campaign. Mlxnp in Georgia. Springfield Republican (Ind.). ' The political situation In Georgia Is said to be giving the Bryan leaders mucK con cern. It Is there that Candidate Watson of the populist party and Vice Prsl dentlaj Candidate Oravea of the Inde pendence party have their .homes and ar making a home appeal for whit demo cratic votes. It may not be well for the Bryan candidacy that a break should com In the solid south, but It would b Well for the future of the democratic party Defeated this year. It would then D able to appeal to the north more successfully But defeated this year without a break It. the south, how much better would be Its chances for success in tho future than they have bn for fifteen years past?

Meaa What Ho Says. Kanaas City Star (lnd.). As further and final proof that Mr. Bryan meant what he aatd wnen h de clared against a speech-making campaign, let this news dispatch from Lincoln be received in evidence and marked "Exhibit A:" "Only a few called on W.

Kansas City Star: Mr. Rosewater of Omaha Is considerably exercised becaua Bryan is trying to capture the populist vote In Nebraska. Does Mr. Rosewater know of any "vote" Mr. Bryan Is not try ing to capture this year? Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: If, aa Mr. Rosewater charges, there are certain complications of doubtful morality con cerning the democrats and populists In Nebraska, perhaps Mr. Bryan might Justify them on the ground that there la no chance for Tom Watson to be elected, anyhow, , Chicago Mews: Mr. Bryan's effort to capture the populist vote of Nebraska and the conservative vot of the east with the same platform does not violate the rules' of the game and should not be re buked. A candidate Is allowed to carry around a certain amount of water on each shoulder, Buffalo Express: Borne of the Nebraska delegates to the convention of the peo ple's party bolted when they could not get the convention to endorse Bryan. In stead, of joining the democratio party, however, these bolters are trying to put the democratic candidates tor presidential electors under an Independent . ticket, which they call th people's independents. It Is an apparent attempt to fool soma peo ple who wish to vote for Watson Into voting for Bryan. Victor Rosewater pro testa against It. He even appealed to Mr. Bryan In person to stop It, but Mr. Bryan's Ideas of political honesty have not yet gone far enough for that. Norfolk News: The World-Herald rid icules Victor Rosewater's open letter to W. J. Bryan adjuring him by th com mandment. "Thou shalt not stl," to dis countenance th attempted democratic theft ot Watson electors In Nebraska. There la. ot course, a purely legal side to the proceeding which, th World-Herald Ignores, and adds Its justification based on th bold assumption that "prac tically without exception every member of the people's Independent party la this slat desires to vote . for Bryan." Un doubtedly some former populists ar for W. J. Bryan. Many thousands of them are also for Taft A great many who hAv contended for a mWdle-of-ths-road policy are for Watson and these latter, are' entitled to 'have their votes recorded for Watson electors, be they tew or many.- It SO per cent ar for Bryan that fact does not constitute a justification of the disfranchisement ot the remaining on-tnth. So In addition to th legal phaa to the matter a question'' of moral ity Is also at stake. POSTAL. SAVINGS BANKS. Probability of Thlr Establishment by Next Session of Congress. The postmaster general of th United States, George U Meyer, in an article on "Postal savings Bank" in th August number of th North American Review, outlines the advantages which would ac crue to the country from the establish ment of such Institutions. In a general way they would encourage thrift by afford ing a place for the deposit of the dime that would otherwise "burn a bole In th pocket" of the wag earner. Nor Would they Interfere with the business of other savings bank, since th Interest they would pay on deposits would be. much lower than th ordinary savings bank pays.
