The silver cause at 1(5 to 1 is dead - Republican exchange. This is good news, certainly, but how long has it been dead? It was surely alive in 1898 when the republicans declared for bimetallism by international agreement. And again itr certainly was alive when President McKinley appointed a committee to go abroad to secure bimetallism. The republicans were for it then, but the democrats went further and declared for bimetallism without the aid or consent of any other nation. The United States certainly is strong enough to declare for and maintain its own xnopey standard without being dictated to by foreign powers and capitalists. The democratic party in its next national convention will again affirm the platform adopted at the Chicago convention in 1898. Of course it is a settled fact that all corporations and trust combinations will fight the platform, the same as they did in 1898, but the voters will not be bamboozled into voting them into power again. They have had enough during the past three years to satisfy them' for many years to come. The labor-1 ing man was promised steady work at j increased wages! But what has been ' the result—strikes and lockouts. The ! farmer was told that his products j would double in price. Well, have ! they? The farmer now has his crop of wheat to sell. The price is low. The cause of silver is not dead ifor is it sleeping but is quite a lively affair. It ill becomes republican leaders now to hurp against trusts and sav they were always opposed to them. The denunciation of them as a party is simple hypocrisy. They have; full power now to suppress every one of them but they do not lift a hand Ugaist them. A comparison'of the platform declarations in 1898 will show the real attitude of the parties at that

time: DEMiX'RATir PLANK. T rusts. The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of ourleading railroad systems, and t h e formation of trusts and pools, require a stricter control by the federal government of those arteries of commerce. We .demand the enlargement of the powers of the inter-state commerde commission, and such restrictions and guarantees in the" control of railroads as will protect the people from robbery and oppression.

ltKPUBLK'AN PLANK. •

It is truly said of trusts: ‘‘It is a concentration of. capital; a cutting down of' forces; a decrease in cost of production and a robbery in increase irr prices. Glass, for instance, that cost 15 cents, now costs 30 to 32 cents. They made a profit when they sold it at 15 cents. With decreased cost of production and getting upon the market, one need not do any guessing to grasp the idea of the enormous profits at 30 cents or more. If they raise wages it is but a paltry part of the great profits that every Builder must pay to these robbers. A plate glass that a year ago cost $100 costs $215 now. Just think of these figures and then wonder whether people will stand such downright robbery. The same thing is true of iron, nails and many other products. They will be brought up some time with a swift jerk,’’ The state health board is out with a small-pox warning to Indianians in which it says that the board has great fear that when cold weather comes small-pox will prevail in a virulent form, and adds: All that is necessary is for every one who has not been successfully vaccinated within the last seven years, to be vaccinated again, and.re-vaccinated until the physician pronounces protection assured. If this is done, the whole state may go calmly on in the usual way and fear not.

Washington Notes. The A1 ger-Pingree muddle has been thickened by Aider's positive denial that he had made a deal with Pingree and saying- that Pingree had merely offered to support his candidacy for the Senate bfecause of his dislike for McMillan. Later Alger denied that. This sort of thing is regarded by sime as indicating the truth of the story told in Washington a few days ago, alleging that Mr. McKinley intended to support Alger and oppose Senator McMillan, but others—many others— regard it as nothing more, than frantic efforts of Alger to retain his hold upon the war portfolio. The best informed men in political circles regard a break in Mr. McKinley's cabinet as inevitable. It may not be Alger;howevejr, who will go out. It is well known I that the relations between Secretaries Gage and Alger, never very cordial, have almost reached the lighting stage, and not believed that all of Mr. McKinley’s admitted knack 'of mollification can succeed in keeping two men so antagonistic to each other, in his official family. Secretary Gage would have resigned last winter if the powerful financial interests he represents had not insisted on his remaining in the cabinet. He has never entirely forgiven Mr. McKinley for

not recommencing the financial legislation he advised in his annual report, instead of commending the report to the consideration of Congress. ’Mr. Gage considers himself the only financier and regards Mr. McKinley and the other members of the cabinet as timid amateurs. Mr. McKinley wishes Secretary Gage to remain in the cabinet until after the presidential election, anyway, because he knows that if he retires before then, it will bring about a material reduction in the republican campaign fund. The highest rank held during the civil war by Hon. D. B. Henderson was colonel. But ever since his election as speaker of the house became a certainty. he has been constantly referred to as “general,” and when he came to Washington several days ago. on a patronage round-up, which, by the way, was the most successful made by any individual under the present administration, he fojmd that all of the officials from Mr. McKinley down, recognized his promotion; also that some of the members of the House were ready to give him a divine title,, if he would only agree to give them the committee assignments they hankered after. Col. Henderson surprised those who thought him made „ of sterner stuff, by exhibiting his soreness, because ex-Czar Reed had not congratulated him on the success of his speakership campaign. Generali Joe Wheeler, who will sail from San~Franciseo for Manila on the 20th inst., says he will not resign his seat in Congress, because he expects to be back in December. Here’s a brand new phase of the expansion question. Bishop Grant of the A. M. E. church (negro), is in Washington advocating the annexation of Liberia by the United,States. He told Mr. McKinley that since we had expanded into Asia, we might as well also take a ,slice of Africa, but somehow the Liberia idea doesn't seem to enthuse the expansionists. They think it all right to annex the saddlecolored man, but draw the line on the

black man. That Hon. John R. McLean was being pushed forward by his friends as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of Ohio, has been apparent for several weeks, but it was not positively known whether it was being done with or without Mr. McLean's consent, until he authorized the publication of the following statement as to his position: ‘T have not sought the nomination and do not regard myself as entitled to demand it. but I have friends who have urged my name in this connection, and I am by no means indifferent. On the contrary, 1 would regard the nomination as a very high honor, and if it is tendered me, of course, I will accept and regard myself as obligated to make the strongest fight I can for the party. I do hot think any Ohio democrat could afford to refuse such a distinction.” Mr. McLean thinks existing conditions in Ohio gives the democrats the best chance they have had for sometime to elect a governor, and no man has better facilities than he has, through the numerous correspondents of his paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer, to know the exact conditions in every part of the state. A democratic victory in Ohio this year would make a corking good starter for the presidential campaign. Representative Epes of Virginia, heartily endorses the suggestion made in a Washington paper, that Senator Martin be made chairman of the democratic national committee, if Sena

[tor Jones’health should prevent his ' retaining the position. Said Mr. Epes: : ’'Without disparagement to any in an I want to say that Senator Martin has pre-eminent qualifications for the place. He is one of the wisest managers, in the whole lield of American j politics today, and if he can be prevailed upon to act as national ^hairJ man, the party will have the benefit of an experienced and sagacious counselor who can be depended upon to make no mistakes in the momentous campaign before us.” Governor Roosevelt is now posing as a military expert. He says that Mr. McKinley sent for him to consult him in that capacity concerning the officers and organization of the new "regiments which are to be immediately recruited for the Philippines. It is more likely that Roosevelt’s errand in Washington was a political one of some sort. Pulmonary Consumption. My wife has been troubled with weak lungs and was pronounced to be in the last stages of pulmonary consumption. She commenced taking White Wine of Tar and received relief at once and is now using the I fourth bottle and her health is better than for niariy years. We cheerfully recommend it to all. t. Rev. J.

Davis. 1074 West Congress street, Chicago, writes: "1 have suffered for years with bronchial trouble and have tried many kinds of medicines without relief until 1 began taking Foley’s Honey and Tax*, which cured me. It saved me doctor bills this winter. 25 cents. J. R. Adams & Son. j Paying the Piper. The treasury experts reckon that the new internal-revenue taxes levied to meet the cost of war will yield about $100,000,000 during the next fiscal year. And it will require every dollar of this revenue, added to regular receipts, to carry the country through the year without a deficit. That is to say, although the war with Spain ended nearly a year ago, Mr. McKinley's war in the Philippines will cost us $100,000,000 a year for an indefinite time to come. And every dollar of this money must be taken out of the hard earnings of the American people. What do they get in return?—The World.

Sj£)ME of the leading republicans of the country are becoming tired of having to defend the attitude of the party in upholding trusts. General Lew Wallace last week said: “I know gothing more reprehensible than the neglect which has been shown this evil bv the national authorities from President McKinley down. He has an attorney general who sits in his elegant office in the capitol and sees the indignity multiply every day —almost every hour—right under his eyes. The public will hold the president responsible for the negligence j and indifference of his attorney genI eral. The only hope in the future of I action by the authorities is in the I organization of all laboringmen.”
