We challenge | Cosper to name the bill. | The “b because “push” of Burns and Gage during the Senatorial con- I" is one of some pertinence to the issue vas reported about Sacramento by the i test that Cosper would vote for Burns in considera- tion of appointment as a member of the Code Commission. Cosper did vote for Burns at the regu- lar session. He voted for Burns fourteen times. After the Legislature adjourned, with the Senatorial deadlock unbroken, the members of the Code Com- mission were appointed by Gage, but Cosper was not among them. When the Legislature met in extra ses- sion Cosper did not vote for Burns any more. Why did he change his mind during the time that intervened between the regular and the extra session? Was it because the Code Commission was no longer a plum tree to be shaken in the Senatorial fight, or was it because something had happened to that un- named bill? Cosper has himself raised the issue of veracity in Gk this matter, and he must take the consequences of his action. A man who will lie on the stump in making his canvass would not hesitate to be a liar on the bench should he be elected. We do not like to have a candidate for a judicial office confronted by an issus which puts his veracity at stake, but Cosper has none but himself to blame in the matter, and he must either answer the questions we have challenged him to meet or he must wear the self-inflicted brand of Jiar.

OLONEL BRYAN has begun to realize that all C his highflown talk about seclf-government is made ridiculous by the fact that his Southern supporters have deprived the negro of self-govern- amendment to the Federal constitution. Nullification is no new, thing with them. They tried it in 1832, and compelled Jackson to threaten to hang Calhoun “as high as Haman, by the Eternal.” Bryan has been questioned frequently about this new phase of nullification, which makes his profes- sions as hollow as the sounding brass and the tink- ling cymbal. During his speech in the Chicago University he was * and answereld, the race question in Ohio, here, and “Oh, you ha in New York. Out in Kansas he was again asked “How about North Carolina?” A Republican Congress took the bailot away from the negroes of the District of Columbia.” Again in Dakota to the same question he re- onded: “Youf ought to read the treaty with the Sul of Sulu, which recognizes slavery there.” They wers | evasive, and some of them were falsehoods.

No matter what its terms, it on the other. does not take from any one rights given to him by ition in the same sense as that instrument se to the Southern negro. Further Colonel Bryan knows that when that agreement was submitted to President McKinley he wrote upon it | for the United States, that part | ygamy and slavery. These three answers by Colonel Bryan, wholly evasive and partly flat falsehood, did not close the is- | He knew this well or he would have adhered to the first answer as sufficient, if the question were | asked him again.

While speaking at Marion a listener to his talk on self-government asked again: “How { about North Caroiina?’ Recognizing the insu cither of his former answers, and their even when combined, he took an entirely He responded: “My friend, I am glad Now I am going to assume that can who asked me the question is an hon- new tack. you asked me that. at Republ I am going to ask him about the cons 1 est man. tion of the Republican State of Oregon a provision of that constitution.

It makes it unlawful for a free negro to go } into the State, and it authorizes the officers to put | But, you say, that is old. Let me remind | you that last June an effort was made to repeal that out. | portion of the constitution, and the effort to repeal lican.” This is a full revelation of Colonel Bryan’s dishon- esty and untruthfulness. The Oregon constitution was made when the State was Democratic. It re- ‘ flected the pro-slavery sentiments of Lane, Nesmith | defeated, although the State went 10,000 Repub- { | | and Delazan Smith, who dominated the politics of | that State. It was similar to constitutional and code | provisions of many of the Northern States in the slavery period. Towa had her “black code.” A simi- | lar code in Illinois was framed by John A. Logan. | The constitution of Indiana was almost exactly the | same as that of Oregon in its exclusion of free ne- | groes. | | \ | But Mr. Bryan knows perfectly well that the four- teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal con- stitution completely nullified 21l such provisions in the codes and constitutions of the States. They fell dead at the feet of the Federal constitution, and wers as blank as if the page on which they were inscribed were so much white paper. They all went glimmering | with the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court, | which did not have to be reversed, for it was de- stroyed by the Federal constitution. Such provisions | did not have to be repealed by the States. They we-e | void. Indiana did not take them out of her consti- tution until 1881. The “black codes™ of Towa and II- | linois were, we believe, never repealed. Indeed they could not be repealed, for repeal implies that a statute | is in force and can be devitalized only by re- peal. They were simply omitted from subsequent codification of the State laws. Yet Colonel Bryan wished, his ignorant supporters to understand, and they did uaderstand, that this constitutional exclu- sion of negroes from Oregon is in force, that they are forbidden entry to that State by penal statutes and that the Republicans of Oregon refused to repeal the living constitutional provision which he quoted! This is capable of but one characterization. The statement is a lie, and he knew it to be a lie. We re- gret that this must be said of a Presidential candidate i of any party, but Colonel Bryan's conduct in the ma:- ter admits of no other characterization. These four evasions of an answer on the North Carolina nullification prove that he has no answer, They prove that denial of self-government in the South is incapable of defense and that Bryan's fer. | 11 | cotton-growers. vid talk about consent of the governed is the shallow- .*’WWWH est of hypocrisy. Last spring Oregon voted on omnibus amendments to the State constitution. They were on municipal in- debtedness, the judiciary, irrigation, repealing the negro clause, and woman suffrage. They were all voted down, as has been every amendment to Ore- gon’s constitution when submitted to the people. The negro clause, inoperate and obsolete, went with the rest. Yet Colonel Bryan finds himself entirely capable of representing that old pro-slavgry clause as operative and vital and supported by the Republicans of Ore- gon as the Democrats of South Carolina support the nullifying clauses of their constitution. Colonel Bryan has taken his own measure. can make it smaller. None DEMOCRACY AND THE TRUSTS. AVING found that the people were not to bs deceived by tlie cry against “imperialism” Bryan and his icllowers a short time ago under- took to shift the contest from that point and accord- ingly they began a vigorous attack against trusts. The attack, however, did not last long. The Bryan- ites found the Republican position on that issue so strongly guarded and their own record so weak that they soon returned to their first tactics and raised once more the cry that “imperialism is paramount.” The public is familiar with the story of the New York ice trust, and is aware of Tammany's relation | to the trust and of Bryan's relation to Tammany. That. however, is only one of a host of combinations that bind Democracy to the trusts. Some Democrats are, of course, sincerely opposed to such aggregations | of capital, but the leaders of the party are too clogely bound up with the magnates of the most unscrupulous | | of trusts to make anything like an earnest fight agains: them. In fact, the movement of Bryan to make an anti-trust fight of the campaign was checked on the publication by the Republican National Committee of this plain statement: “Every line of legislation now on the statute books | of the United States directed against trusts and un- lawful trade combinations was placed there by the Republicans. “That there is not more stringent law against them is the fault of the Democratic party. “The last occasion on which the parties, as repre- sented in Congress, went on record on the trust ques- tion was on June 1, 1900. “On that day a final vote was taken on a constitu- tional amendment to grant Congress power to “defins, | regulate, prohibit and dissolve trusts, monopolies and combinations, whether existing in the form of corpo- rations or otherwise “It requires a two-thirds vote of Congress to submit a constitutional amendment to the State Legislatures for ratification. “The question to so submit it was lost by a vote of 154 ayes to 132 noes. “Of the ayes 149 were Republican and only five were Democrats. “Richardson, Lentz, Sulzer, Ruppert, 211 the other prof rust killers They declined to give Congress the power to grapple with the trusts. The Democrats indulged in spasms of virtue for two days. denouncing the trusts, and then voted to continue them, “In one of Mr. Bryan's recent speeches he gave the Republican remedy as the final one he would adopt, in case he was clected and all other means failed. “In other words, Mr. Bryan admits the value of the Republican idea, but wants to try other measures first He has not said what those measures are to be. “Some trusts operate all over the country; others, like the New York ice trust, operate in a single city. The requisite power to reach each and all and bring them within the Federal law was denied by a margin of 36 votes, all Democratic. “Denouncing is one thing. Doing is another. Mr. Bryan's trust denunciations, in view of his party records, promise no better than the prophecies he made four years ago; and as a prophet Mr. Bryan has sional | not succeeded.” In this connection it is worth while to note that not only is the strongest supporter of Bryanism in the East, Mr. Croker, a patron and a partner of trusts, | but Senator Jones, the chairman of his National Com- mittee and his foremost supporter in the South, is also a patron and a partner of trusts, being a member ! of the “Round Bale” trust that is now cinching the Thus the record of the representa- tives of the Democratic party in Congress and the record of ifs leaders in the campaign are such as to compel Bryan to craw]l away from the trust issue. In 2 fight upon that question his armor would be full of blow holes and his guns loaded with back-action cart- ridges. The anti-imperialists are to a certain extent right in saying the free coinage of silver is not an issue in the campaign. It is, certainly not an issue so long as | Bryan is a private citizen, but if he ever become Presi- dent it will be the biggest issue that has been in sight | for many a day. e The gentlemen who have been honored by places | on the local Democratic purity committee are falling over one another in their frantic endeavors to resign. As a purist Mayor Phelan and his hired men have simply dumfounded the old guard of tricksters. ol Mayor Phelan deserves all the sympathy which returally goes forth to a smashed idol. It was bad enough for the yellow kid to throw stones at him, but now even the Supervisors, the creatures of his own political bounty, are calling him names. It is noted that the latest betting odds are four to one in favor of McKinley with very few takers of the Bryan side, so it is safe to say Croker has long before | this hedged that $100,000 bet on Bryan that was so Jcudly announced a few weeks ago. Senator James K. Jones has lost prestige by ac- cepting the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee, and he is now known to a good many of our Eastern contemporaries as chairman jimkayjones. A Louisiana Judge made a strange bid the other day to keep his memory green even in unenviable no- toriety. He voted to keep Abraham Lincoln and Daniel Webster out of the American temple of fame. A determined effort is being made to have Federal Quarantine Officer Kinyoun removed. It wouald seem an easy task to remove any appendage that has become a menace in its worthlessness. Since the beginning of the war with Spain Uncle Sam has spent more than $72,000,000 in San Fran- cisco. And the Democratic calamity howlers wonder why they speak to ears that hear not. iy el Let us have a solid Republican delegation in Con- gress.

The plan and scope of this sort of Insurance is the reduction of international disputes to a business basis. Once In opera- tion it will compel nations to listen to reason instead of shooting at each other. The scheme includes the formation of an international board of arbitra- tion or adjustment composed of two representatives of each of the powers insured. Disputes likely to end in war will be referred to this board. The case will be tried and judgment rendered according to the merits of the controversy. The damages will be adjusted, a balance struck and the na- 1 tion suffering most In pride or prosperity will be paid the difference In gold. Contributions or premiums paid by the signatory powers or policy holders will furnish the fund for the payment of penalties. The inventor of the scheme hopes to compel Governments to Interest themselves in it by opening popular stock subscriptions at $1 a share, thus enlisting the support of the people. Prominent citizens of Michigan who are interested in the enterprise are Senator Burrows, Representatives Ham- {lton and Smith, C. S. Hazeltine, former Consul to Milan; Judge A. Morse, former Consul to Glasgow, and others of hardly less radiant fame. Tt will tax the resources of a skilled actuary to make out the mortality tables for this insurance company. Some of the republics of Central and South America will be classed as extra hazardous or barred altogether. The United States and Switzerland should get in at a low rate, although it must be confessed that the United States has had a touch of acute bellicositis within the last two years and still has a few lingering symptoms. China would be rejected because of threatened collapse, but Spain, having recov- ered nicely from recent amputations, might pass. Russia's abnormal ap- petite might make the examiner a bit suspicious. None of the nations has R irst-rate family history, but, of course, rates could be adjusted to suit different cases and they could be put pretty high witfbut amounting to as much as the army and navy budgets of the European nations.
