Stearnes drug company. * A farmer living east of the city called at this office Tuesday afternoon and called for Bryan’s picture. He said he voted for Lincoln for president, but that at the November election would cast his vote for William J. Bryan, the defender of the people’s cause. The farmers and laboringmen are beginning to realize that trusts and combinations are the curse of the country.

“In the interest of American labor and the upholding of the workingman as the corner-stone of the prosperity of our country, we recommend that congress create a department of labor in charge of a ^secretary with a seat in the cabinet,^ believing thht the elevation of the American laborer will bring with it increased production and increased prosperity to our country at home and our commerce abroad.’’—-Plank in Democratic National Platform. ----- The great “big rally” that General j Thompson advertised to take place in ; this city last Friday with Governor [Mount as the star attraction was a yery tame affair, not more ;than 150 voters being here from all parts of the county. The majority ot the crowd was composed of candidates and Committeemen. The governor was met at the train by ten or iifteen people and escorted up town. It was quite a contrast to the reception tendered Governor Matthews four years ago when over 2,000 people met the governor at the train. The great difference was commented on by the people. Governor Mount was not pleased with the reception, to say the least. The great rally was of the frosty order. Thompson should try again. i

CONTRACT LABORERS, Hordes of Japanese Coolies Betan Imported ky tke Trnsts. It appears that the horde of Japanese cou tract laborers pouring lute the Unit* ed States has attracted the attention of the government, which has information that about 00,000 are being thrown in by way of British Columbia, which Is under the dominion of our friends the British. The government officials have a theory upon which they are working, and that theory is not based upon the injury to American labor, but is based upon almost certain facts that these orientals are being imported by one of the gigantic trusts. A rigid search of the country is being made to learn where these Japs are at work. Suspicion runs all the way from the Standard Oil company’s mines in the Cceur d’Alene to Carnegie’s new steel trust, and the theory is that oue of these big trusts will turn up withm full complement of Japanese laborers and cause prodigious scandal in the campaign, one that will do Incalculable harm to the Republican cause. The matter is serious enough to Justify President Gompers in calling the attention of the public to* It, lie says, speaking of the Japanese: ‘They are coming into this' country in droves. It is pretty near time something was done In this matter, as the first thing you know you will be overrun with cheap Japanese labor, which will supplant you as the Chinese attempted to do.” Things are coming to a pretty pass under the "Republican regime of the I trusts, and it may not be going too far to say that a continuance of the McKinley administration will leave very Uttle for the American laborer except a miserable existence.

THE ATTACK ON GERMANY, Caatlanl Imalti Heaped on One Citizens of German Blood. * For a long time past the Republican administration has made It its business to indulge in-spiteful flings and threats at the German empire from the circulation of unfounded reports that Germany is continually importing arms into Luzon and other islands in the Philippine archipelago to aid the insurgents in killing American troops to the Root and Lodge rodomontades over the danger of German aggression and conquest in South America. It looks very much as if our small statesmen, intoxicated with the imperialistic brew of their owu fermentation, had in mind the idea that our American citizens of German descent need the same kind of lasb to keep them in the ranks of the Republican party as that laid' upon the backs of the Irish people by Lord Salisbury to prevent them from becoming too boisterous in their demands for home rule. Perhaps there are very few GermanAmericans who will submit to the continual insults* heaped upon their blood relations, compatriots and friends, and it.may be that they will no longer permit the specter of silver to goad them into maintaining a further alliance wth the far worse and more pernicious methods and policies of the Republican party.—National Democrat. Republican Frozen Troth.* The good blue law Republicans of Connecticut have administered a righteous rebuke to their brethren in other states who have made pretense of opposing the trusts. The platform just adopted by the Republican convention of the little state is honest enough to say that the trusts are pretty good institutions. This is the language: “So far as those great corporations strive to lessen the cost of production without lowering the standard of wages, to the end that they may successfully enter and command the markets of the world to the advantage of the American commoner and wage earner, they may be well endured.” There is a good deal of verbiage to wade through in getting to the gist of that sentence. It means, however, that the trust is a good thing on general principles. The Connecticut Republicans deserve a chromo for their exceptional, honesty.— Los Angeles Herald. 4Labor Men Condemn MnKlaley. The conventions of the Western Federation of Miners ami of the Western Labor union recently in session in Denver adopted resolutions strongly denouncing Governor Steunenburg of Idaho for his action in the Coeur d’Alene trouble and urging the voters of the state to refuse to support him or any one who upholds him. The labor unions’ resolutions also denounce President McKinley, General Merriam and others who are held responsible for the hardships endured by the Idaho miners and demand that the president “either withdraw the,troops from Shoshone county or cause the liberty of the citizens to be restored.”

Doing What the Monk Did. , Perhaps if there existed a higher conception of duty in Washington there would be a higher conception of honesty in Havana. Thompson and his confederates probably thought it was no worse to “borrow” government funds than—if the presidents friends will pardon the suggestion—to indorse notes for more money than you can possibly pay in a lifetime*-Chicago Chronicle. Thetr Own Fault. There are so many officers t returning from the Philippines wiih broken health after their arduous a tmy labors that one wonders why they* should go to a foreign country in search of ill health when they can avoid It by;remaining at home. Worryliug Brria. The G. O. P. organs art* fond of saying that Bryan Is being “ »vorried.” The very statement is proof that he is not worried, for another man iryi**. no man a unless *mpts to worry If is ,wor

Roosevelt’s Opinion of Laboringmen. On page 2&i of the September, IRKS, issue of Reviews, Theodore Roosevelt, in discussing the' American union workingman, made the following statement: “The men who object TO WIIAT THEY STYLE GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION’ are, as regards the essential principles of government, in hearty sympathy with THKik remote* SKIN-CLAD ANCESTORS WHO LIVED IN CAVES, FOUGHT ONE ANOTHER WITH STONE-HEADED AXES, AND ATE THE MAMMOTH AND WGOLY RHINOCEROS. “They are interesting as representing a geological survival, but they are dangerous whenever there is the least chance of their making the principles of this ages-buried past living factors in our present life. “They are not in sympathy with MEN OF GOOD MINDS AND SOUND CIVIC MORALITY.”
