It isa difficult problem. It is easy to enough to shout ‘Down | with the trusts,’ but what are you} going to do about it? | “Take the one that is most often made the target—the sugar trust You go to the members and they say: ‘Yes, we own all the sugar refineries; we are incorporated ac- cording to law.’ Now, will we pass a law that a concern shall own only so much property, or what shall we do? “What difference does it make to us if there were a thousand inde- pendent refineries and as many mid- die men? “I am strongly opposed to trusts. The exact remedy for the evil is not clear to me. There would be no trusts if it were not for the gold standard, the shrinking currency and falling prices.” “Does the antitrust idea for a democratic campsign issue mean that Bryan will be the candidate?” “Certainly. - It will be Bryan and McKinley over again. That does not mean that the silver issue will be shelved, either. It will be rather overshadowed probably by the anti- monopoly movement. There are many people who will never under- stand the currency question, and in the face of asemblance of prosperity the silver issue may be submerged fora time. It will not stay down, however.” “How is the Philippine situation regarded in the west?” “In California, where all the troops have been shipped, the people have made money out of it and may want the Philippines. I can not see what anyone else can want of them. I think the question is weakening President McKinley in other parts of the west.” Hogg Talks of His Speech. New York, July 5.—Ex-Governor James S. Hogg of Texas, who stam- peded the Tammany Fourth of July mass meeting for Bryan, said last night: “I did not know that there was a Van Wyck boom on. I did not expect te attend the meeting at all, much less to speak. You know what those five minute extemporaneeus speeches are. A fellow never gets a chance to say all he wants to say and what he says is more than he ought to say. What I say is, what's the use of a meeting anyway, unless a fellow can say what he feels like saying? I feel very kindly toward Tammany. Its leaders have always shown me the utmost courtesy and cordiality. Therefore, I don’t want anybody toe think that I was anxious to get an opportunity to spoil a Tammany meeting. “Nobody told me anything about Van Wyck and how could I be ex- pected to know. What tickled me was the way the boys hollered when Isaid Bryan. I tell you there is no use talking, Bryan and Stone are the men for 1900.” Mr. Belmont, of New York, before sailing for Europe last week, gave out an interyiew in which he declar- ed his preference for president in 1900, the Hen. A. P. Gorman, of Maryland. Senator Gorman is a democrat of the old school, a states- man of large experience, and would make a mest acceptable president, one that every democrat eould cheer- fully support, and every citizen feel assured that the aftairs of the nation would be safe under his guidance. Maryland made a mistake when it substituted, in the United States senate, a republican nonentity for Arthur Pue Gorman—a mistake that will be corrected by the people of that state at the earliest possible oppertunity.—Ex. There 1s a Big Difference, Chicago, Ili, July 6.—Charles D. Brown of Chieage, engaged in a novelty advertising and premoting business, filed petition in bankruptcy | inthe United States district court! to-day, scheduling his liabilities at $1,639,078, while his azsets were placed at $5. surrection will drag on through the summer snd autumn of 1900.” The Republican Baltimore Ameri-| can says: “It is futile to hope for republican success next year if the voters of the country every morning are confronted with steries of battles and loss of life through disease and on the firing line.’ The Republican Pittsburg Dispatch says that “those who insiet on the sending of any- where from 25,000 to 125,000 more Americans to fight Filipinos and to be attacked by the climate; to spend from $100,000,000 to $200,- 600,000 per year in the war of subjugation, and to lenghten the list of lives already sacrificed for the cause of eonquest, will have to bear the responsibility for results.” The Republican Boston Advertiser says: “The theory that war is beisg waged in the Philippines merely to sup- press disturbance and to restore and preserve order is no longer tenable.” The Republican San Francisco Chronicle says: ‘The question now is, do the American people want to resolve their war fer humanity into a bleody cenquest of subjugation?” The Republican Newark Advertiser says: “The fatuous policy of the Government has made useless all the splendid valor of our devoted troops in the late campaign and rendered more diffeult the problems which we set out te solve in the Philippines.” Many other republican journals are talking just as disloyally as these which we have quoted. It is quite elear that great numbers of the American people, without regard to party, are against expansion by war. There is a big crowd of “aunties” in every State in the Union. What Lincoln Said. “No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. When the white man gov- erns himself, that is self-government; but when he governs himself and also governs enother man, that is more than self-government—tbat is despotism. Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has plant- ed in us; our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. These who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and under a just God cannot long retain it” Who was Lincoln, anyhow? Wheeler Ordered te Manila. Washington, July 6.—Brigadier General Joseph Wheeler was to-day ordered to report to General Otis at Manila for service in the Philippine Islands. President McKinley told a delegation of southern congress- men who called upon him to day that it was his intention to send General Wheeler to the Philippines soon. The president also said that he did net think that more than the 10,600 treops already decided upon would be necessary Wheeler has long asked for an as- signment to the Philippines. To Show Their Displeasure. Nevada, Mo., July 6.—At Deer- fleld, ten miles west of this city, a party of men, unmasked, drove into the little hamlet about midnight, and hung seven dummies upon a} platform at the pottery. Each effigy bore a placard with the name of ex- county treasurer Frank A. Parker and those of the six jurymen who yoted for his aequittal, at the last term of the cirenit court, on the charge of embezzling county funds. The dummies, which were made of men’s garments stuffed with straw, were left hanging uatil a late hour to-day. Henor ter American Woman. London, July 5.—Mrs. May Wright Sewall, president of the United States consul of the Wemen’s International congress, has been elected to succeed the countess of Aberdeen us the president of the congress, which will held its next eames in Berlin “At this rate the in-| |Jobn M.

The next presidential campaign will be fought on the trust issue and on that the democrats will win. Why, the whole West and South are hot beds of anti trust sen- timent. “The plank on this evil in their will sweep every State Pennsylvania. “The farmer is feeling the iron heel of the trust every day. Every thing he needs to build his house or barn with has adyanced in price from 25 to 250 per cent. His land is not worth any more though. “Tam a democrat, and although my party will not forsake silver or the tariff, the anti-trust idea will overshadow everything else. “The trusts are forcing men out of work every day. “Another thing that will lead to democratic suecess is this Philippine business. We paid $20,000,000 and bought nothing buta war. McKin- ley 'blundered and we have to pay for it. “The thousands of letters I have received are not from democrats alone A large percentage are from republicans and the writers say they are going to vote for the party that will down the trusts “You inthe East do not realize how strong this sentiment is in other parts of the country. It means that Bryan will be the next Pres’. dent. democrats with a strong platform west of Secret Political Society. Buffalo, N. ¥., July 6 —The Mo- hawks, a democratic organization, said to comprise 600 branches and over 50,00C active members, which has been in secret session here since the 3rd inst. has elected officers and adjourned to meet next year in the city selected for the national demo- cratic convention, one week prior to the convention. Steps were taken to begin immediately the work of organizing new wigwams. The national executive committee was reduced from thirteen to seven members. The resolutions adopted denounced trusts and monopolies; indorse Bryan and free silver, and oppose militarism. The following officera were elect- ed:. National chief, James Sovereign of Idaho; assisitant chief, C. B. Matthews of Buffalo; national scribe, Michael Meehan of Missouri; big medicine man, John M. Hennesey of Buffalo; treasurer, George J. Zillig of Buffalo; chief of secret service, Eugene V. Brewster of New York city; national executive committee, Chief, James R Sovereign of Idaho; scribe, Miehael Meehan of Missouri; Mayor C. O. Harrington of Carth- age, Mo.; J. O. Bennett of New York; Jobn Cutler of Niagara Falls. Jas. R. Sovereign was appointed national organizer. Cedar Rapids, Io, July 6—S. L. Dows, Jr, son of Hon. S L.

I can’t bear it! I don’t see why I don’t love you—you are so good! Brt”— “There, there, never mind. You can’t help it, chiid. We won't say apy more about it. You just pack up and go to your ma in San Fran- cisco and I'll send you yeur share of the property here. Don’t fret. An’ if you’d be happier free from me altogether I won't make you any trouble about gettin’ a divorce.” So the romance of Henry and Min- nie Ballentyne seemed ended. The man deeded his farm near Highmore S. D, to his wifeand kept only a few hundred dollars for himself. After a year or so she secured a di- vorce from him and fer five years their lives were spent far apart. One morth ago Minnie Ballentyne Sawaman in army blue walking feebly along the streets of San Frane cisco He seemed poor, old, almost heipless, and she stopped her car- riage to let him pass. Her heart had grown tender because of its own vague, unsatisfied longings, and she was quick to sympathize with the afflicted or oppressed. “Poor soldier!” she murmured. Then he raigeed his head and she cried: “Henry, oh, Henry!” leaping from her carriage and clasping his arm with her little gloved hands. It was Ballentyne, disckarged from the United States volunteer service, and returning with honora- ble scars from the Philippines. He had been terribly ill with the fever and was ecarcely able to speak when she insisted on his getting into the carriage. But sho helped him with great tenderness, and when she saw two great tears making their way down his bronzed and furrowed cheeks she turned away to hide her weeping. She saw his wasted form, his miserable poverty and distress, and realized that he had suffered fer her. A wave of tenderness swept over her, and she that she loved him in spite of all ker foolish- ness and discontent. “Henry,” she said, will you take me back? It was alla mistake. Say you forgive me” So it happened that the little town of Highmore was startled last week by the arrival of thetwe who had parted there five years ago, but knew bad been remarried and had gone|D: back to the old home together.
