FRIDAY. OOTOBER 27. 1899.

TEN army chaplainB have been ordered to the Philippines by the war department to assist the eight who are already over there, in looking after the spiritual welfare of the soldiers.

THIS agitation against the polygamous congressman, Roberts, is already bearing fruit. It is now reported the Mormon church will request Robsrts to resign in order to save himself from the disgrace of expulsion.

ANDREW OABNEGIE has just contributed 950,000 to the city of Duluth for a public library building provided the city furnishes a suitable site. Mr Carnegie should be informed that there is a splendid opening here in Orawfordsville. Our new library will grow to such proportions in a short time that a building will be necessary.

A CONSULAR report which stateB the wageB of trained workmen in Germany at the equivalent of $3 50 a Week and the beBt wages of German shoemakera at between 83 50 and 84.00 per week, affords a good comparison between foreign labor and American protected labor. An American shoemaker will earn a week's German wages in two days or less.

THE World-Herald, Mr. Bryan's paper is quite grieved because the govern-^ ment has refused to follow the demands of the petition gotten up by the New York World, praying the United Stater to offer its services as meditator between ^England and the Transvaal. With {one or two more enterprising newspapers in the statesman business, a government would be quite superfluous. ..

THE Railway Age calls attention to the fact that in the first ten months of 1899, 2,700 miles of new railroad were laid, which is more than any entire year since 1892, and notwithstanding the fact that both scarcity of labor and material hava hampered such work. The railroads have added 100,000 cars to their rolling stock during the last year, but they are still unable to handle the traffic of the country.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is controlled and largely owned by John R. McLean, who iB generally rated worth 815,000,000, made out of Washington gas and other stocks. The spectacle of the Enquirer making a fight against monopolies and truBts, and printing cartoons of Senator Hanna covered with dollar marks, representing monopoly, 1B one of the edifying consistencies of Ohio Democratic campaigning.

WHY should anyone take exception to the fact, as announced, that Colonel Bryan demanded payment in advance for the speech he made the other day at Canton, Ohio? It has not been claimed that there waB objection to paying the money demanded only that it should not have been exacted in advance. The inference is that kickerB complain because people who heard the speech had to put up their money without knowing what they were going to get. But this is a false premise, as no one has ever claimed, since Bryan's advance-payment speechmaking, rear end platform tour, throughout the middle west in 1896, that when Bryan was scheduled for a speech the audience did not know jast what was coming. It is really difficult to understand the cause of this complaint.

ANY Republican senators who are considering the advisability of retaining Colonel Bright, the present ultraDemocratic sergeant-at-armB of the senate, when that body meets for reorganization on Republican lines next session, will do well perhaps to go a little behind Mr. Bright's record for so-called efficiency and usefulness as an officer of the senate. He has made himself thoroughly detested by the Republican employee of the senate or the senate committees indeed there are few of these whom he has not succeeded, through one means or another, in getting discharged. A notable case in point was that, some years ago, of the present pension agent at Washington, Ool. Sidney L. Wilson, who lost both legs in the war and who held a position under Col. Bright as doorkeeper of the senate. Col. Wilson waB not only summarily discharged, but all the influence the Grand Army of the Republic could bring to bear upon Ool. Bright was unavailing, he himself being a southern Bemocrat and exconfederate. ......... ... .1

THE BOCK V.TMjE TRUST. The Rockville Tribune has been bellowing itself black in the face for a year on the subject of trusts. It haB shown the people how the octopus has them by the throat and now just to make things good and strong it goeB into a trust itself. The Tribune and Republican (the only paperB in Rockville) form a newspaper trust and raise their subscription rateB from one dollar to a dollar and a quarter. Thus will the editors wax rich and fat by forcing upon the people, who have no choice but to patronize them, another burden. Who will pay for this rich-ness-and this fatness? From whom will be wrung the money to fill the coffers of the grasping, plutocratic, newspaper kings of Rockville? Upon whose vitals do these bloodless, heartless, soulless hyenas feed? Ah friends! It is not the oppulent rich, lounging on their silken and perfumed divans, that will feel this iron heel of oppression as it grinds through flesh and bone. The curse falls upon the humble, toiling, struggling poor! The pinch faced widow denying her hungry children bread that Bhe may meet the exorbitant demands of the newspaper trust the honest farmer, gasping beneath a mortgage bigger than his barn, makes one hickory shirt suf fice the winter where he had planned for two in order that Straus and Har grave may quaff the sparkling cham pagne and pocket the unearned increment the ill-paid laborer with many children and a wife with a wen groans ao he pawns his mother's Bible that the thought trust may bulge with blood money the pale and wan lady clerk with a gasping moan giveB up the piano she has scrimped and saved to get that the rapacious maw of Rockville's octopus may be crammed. These are those who suffer. Aw Gawd! How long will arrogant idleness scar the back of patient toil? Not until the people rise in their might, shake off the shackles of blood and tear-Btained past, and place the menacing meat ax in the toil hardened hands of that p6erlesB priest of the people—burr-r-r—r!

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN JONES, of the Democratic—committee, is another statesman who through his spectacles ofprejtidice and pessimism cannot see any signB of material prosperity in the United States. The senator has just returned from Europe and he hastens to say that he" is still solid for Bryan, sixteen to one, anti-imperiaiism, and the re-endorsement of the Chicago platform. When asked in an interview whether the prevailing prosperity would not affect the Democratic campaign, he replied that he did not see th^t prosperity had helped the agricultural classes much. Who has been helped if not the great agricultural classes of the west, where farm mortgages have been cancelled by the million and where bank deposits by farmers have been overwhelming the banks.

SOUTHERN cotton was the last farm product to be coupled with the rise and fall of Bilver. Wheat has long since parted company with the white metal and has jumped up and down between the 50 cent and the dollar mark without regard to the fluctuations of silver, but now that cotton haB scored a big advance likewise independent of the price of silver, meaning millions more dollars to southern planters, Bryan statesmen are again being called upon for "explanations."

MR BRYAN has denied that he ever said he wanted office for the money that is in it. Hon. J. Sterling Morton however, has produced a lotter from Mr. Bryan of yearB back, Btating that he did want a minor office for the compensation afforded. This is very likely, and would not affect Mr. Bryan's general statement that he did not seek office for the mon&y. No one haB yet questioned the fact, however, that he does want office.

The western bank deposits are becoming a serious matter—for populistB and popocrats. jv

BASELESS

Cbarge That American Soldiers Were Killing llespeotable Cubans. Havana, Oct. 26.—The accusations recently brought by Senor Jugiu Oalderou, one of the judges at Gibara, who asserted that A-merioan soldiers had been killing respectable Cubans, were thoroughly investigated by General Leonard Wood, military goveroor of the province of Santiago, and General Castillo, the civil governor, as well as by the audiencia. The evidenoe was placed in the hands of General Brooke, who required the judge advocate, Lieutenant Colonel Dudley, to prepare a legal opinion. The latter reported that, after examining all the evidenoe, he oould find no grouud for the aocusation, and it is thought that the dismissal of Judge Oalderon would be justifiable.
