Lately I have been on a lecture tpur In
Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas and Mis
souri. Incidentally I passed through
Texas, Mississippi, Tennesseee, Ken
tucky and . Illinois. - I was not only
making money by lecturing; I was pick
ing up information for my .own benefit
and for the benefit of my readers. To
that end I talked to all sorts and con
ditions of people, and my conclusion is
that the Democrats are not cast down
or, disheartened by the overwhelming
defeat of last 'year, but are ready to
pick their flint and try it again. They
made gains fe very where in the spring
municipal elections. They feel encour
aged thereby. They regard the idiotic
gabble about reorganization with deri
sion and disgust.. They have not even
the " remotest idea of placing any on
guard save Democrats whom they
knowxbeyond peradventure to be faith
ful. They are no more in the notion of
surrendering than had Napoleon's Old
Guard at Waterloo! . It would help a
good many self-styled leaders of the
Don Dickinson stripe to take a trip In
cognito through a half dozen states
and to commune freely with the one
gallused Democrats, the" men who
make and unmake politicians and poli
cies.";" "'r "C".-' N

Hitherto the Republican Pharisees
have hugged the flattering unction to
their souls that by canting about purity
and Tlrtue, by -audibly and frequently
thanking , God that they were not as
other men, they could deceive the world
as to their beastly corruption. It was
the old caper of the ostrich hiding his
head in the sand. VThe plan did not
work well with the silly bird, and it
has failed with the silly Republicans.
M.-De Witte of . the Russian cabinet
thinks that he sees through the rot
tenness and hypocrisy of the Repub
licans. If you have, O reader, tears,
prepare to shed them now, for this un
tutored Muscovite has the gall to Btate
publicly and for publication that that
great renegade,, Lyman J. Gage, who
ratted from the Democrats to the Re
publicans in order to be secretary of
the treasury, placed the discriminating
tariff on Russian sugar by reason of an
agreement with the sugar trust to do
60 provided it would contribute liDerai
ly to Mark Hanna's corruption fund
last year! It is a most serious and hu
miliating charge which M. De Witte
brings against Mr. Gage and shows
conclusively that -abroad 1 our Repub

' " f i .- Brave and Honest.
It is refreshing toknow a man like
Hon. John Wesley Gaines, who honors
the Hermitage district of Tennessee by
representing It in the congress of the
United States., John Wesley possesses
to the Jeffersonian degree the courage
of his convictions. He has opinions
and is not squeamish about expressing
them bluntly. He has Just sailed for
the Philippines In search of exact in
formation as to the status of things in
our vassal territories. Before taking
ship, however, John Wesley not only
took the whole country Into his con
fidence, but startled it by declaring for
a southern Democrat for the presiden
tial nomination in 1904. He does not
aspire to that high honor himself, but
he would a presidential Warwick be.
He not only advocates a southerner in
a general way, but he names his fa
vorites. Chief among these is Ed W.
Carmack, the brilliant young senator
from Tennessee. John Wesley's sug
eestion is not to be sneered or sneezed
at He has a good many reasons for
bis proposition. : Why-should southern
Democrats be longer barred? Tennes
see has been peculiarly IuckyT In cap
turing the presidency. . Carmack is
honesCcapable, courageous, ambitious.

Cheer up, you American boys! It la
true that only about a dozen of yon
now living can be presidents" xt the
United States, but then there's Schwab,
who made $2,000,000 in one day recent
ly. r Thaf s certainly thrilling news for
every barefooted "boy in the land. The
old theory hath It, "What man has done
man can do." Ergo, each of you can
make $ 2,000,000 in one day or 'a day
and a half.
It must also cheer your aspiring souls
to know that another trust is In process
of formation. This time it Is to be a
telephone trust, and by a strange coin
cidence its home is to be in Cleveland,
the habitat of Marcus A. Hanna, heir.
presumptive to the imperial crown.
The new trust may produce a new
Schwab. General Grosvenor may have
been a little addled when he wrote the
name of William McKInley above that
of' George Washington, but he may
confidently elevate the cognomen of
Schwab above that of Mr. Croesus. In
deed, If trusts continue growing Croe
sus would be considered a poor man
when .brought Into Juxtaposition with
the Morgans and Schwabs.
' Another Precinct Heard Front.
One by one the .roses falL Slowly
but regularly Republican representa
tives in congress from close districts In
the west are slipping Into the Babcock
camp and advocating the Babcock plan
a fact which must give Hon. Sereno
E. Payne, chairman -of theways .and
means committee and therefore ex of
ficio floor leader of the majority in the
house, a great deal of worry and an
acute pain in his medulla oblongata.
The latest and most conspicuous con
vert to Babcockism is my distinguished
and highly esteemed friend, Hon. James
A. Tawney of .Winona, Minn. He Is
among the ablest of the Republican
chieftains and has a way of doing
things. Witness his successful advoca
cy of tbe antioleomargarine bill and of
the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
Brother Tawney is not only a propa
gandist of butter, but he knows per
fectly well on which side bis political
bread is buttered. He was Interviewed
recently, and I commend his Interview
to Brother Payne, the American econ
omist et id omne genus. Tawney says:
The west Is opposed to trusts. It bellms that
something should b done to restrict them, but I
don't believe at the present time it is ready to
begin an onslaught on the tariff to accomplish
this end.
- Congress will, I think, take some action look.
Ing toward hampering their operations. - The
country believes they should not be free to chsrge
the American consumer whatever price they please
to Dz and sell to the European competitor at a
reduced rate. ' . N ' ' ,
Congress will take some action to prevent this,
but what direction the legislation wUI take 1 am
unable to say.
Now, Tawney says 'something must
be done to bust the trusts. He thus
far agrees with Reformer Babcock, the
Washington Post et aL True, when he
comes to practical remedies he shies a
little and hedges by saying, I don't be
lieve the west at the present time is
ready to begin an onslaught on tbe
tariff ; to accomplish this end." - Not
ready at the present time, but soon will
be. Tawney, as to Babcockery, ap
pears to be in that betwixt and be
tween frame of mind in which King
Agrippa found himself on that' most
Important historic occasion when he
exclaimed, "Paul, thou almost per
suadest me to be a Christian!" Stran
ger things have happened than that
Tawney will see the cat clearly, go the
whole bog and seize the truncheon of
command from Babcock and win a
sort of Sir Robert Peel glory. There
Is evidently a great opportunity ahead
for some Republican statesman of the
cool headedness, persistency and ca
pacity of Tawney, and Jeemes is not
the man to let an opportunity for re
nown pass by without grabbing it.
A False Prophet.
Mr. William T. Stead of London haa
recently blossomed out as one of the
major prophets, and emits the harrowing-and
blood curdling prediction that
the next great war will be betwixt
Great Britain and the United States of
America. That may be labeled as
"startling If true." It would be a
heart killing performance to the little
handful of brainless, dudish, on-American
anglomanlacs who disgrace this
country by their, presence, and would
cause each particular hair upon their
contracted cranlums to stand on end
like quills upon the fretful porcupine,
but they may possess their little souls
In peace, for there will be no war be
tween Great Britain and this republic,
anyway soon not for three years
eight months and a half,, for as long as
the McKInley administration holds tbe
reins America is mjerely an appanage
f his royal and Imperial majesty King
Edward VII.
John Bull would be a monster of In
gratitude should he undertake to whale
us for not letting him nave nis way
about the isthmian canal, for have
we not, after the manner of Saul of
Tarsus at the stoning of Stephen, stood
by consulting while John has been
murdering the heroic little repuDncs
of South Africa? Have we not futv
pished him' mules, horses and othei
articles contraband of war galore while
he has been butchering them for fol
lowing our example? Have we not
caused our name to Btink in the nostrils
Of the civilized world by reason of our
(subserviency and newborn love fo?
John? And can be so soon forget!
Perish tfce thought! Mr, Stead Is tog
previous. We have not built an lsth,
mian canai yex, uiougu rc
have done bo long ago ft capal built
by Americans, owned by Americans,
rflPd by Americans, controlled by
Americans, defended by Americans-
and we will build just such a canal Just
as soon as we place a thoroughly Amer
ican - administration in power, one
which will defend American rights
against the world, the flesh and ths
devlL This cannot happen till high
ocarn time. Marco ,
Carolina, who when asked as to tbe
status of hU struggle with Senator
Benjamin R. Tillman replied, "He has
called me a mangy dog. and there the
matter rests." Now, to be called a dog
has always been regarded as a gross Insult.-
Countless fights and numerous
homicides have occurred.-, by foolish
men asserting that other men were
descended on the maternal side from
the canine race. One Biblical charac
ter, whose name has escaped my mem
ory, exclaimed, "Is thy servant a Cog
that he should do this thing?" But to
be called a "mangy dog" would appear
to be overloading human endurance.
That one South Carolinian should ap
ply such an epithet as that to another
South Carolinian and live proves that
Galilei was correct when he said. "Toe
world moves." Fifty years ago It would
have been as Impossible as perpetual
motion. The Universal Peace society
is surely getting In Its work even among
the Hotspurs of the old Palmetto 8tate.
A Bitter FIn.
First and last Illinois has been the
scene of some of the most bitter fights
in the history of American politics.
Just now another Is on which bids fair
to rival any of Its predecessors, in bit
terness at least History Is repeating
itself in Suckerdom. Senator William
Mason, popularly denominated Billy
Mason, is a candidate for re-election.
In his own party he Is opposed by
United States Comptroller Dawes. Ma
son Is a great stumper, has a short, fat,
dumpy figure and Is blessed with a rich
sense of wit and humor. He ranks
among the half dozen best speakers on
tbe Republican side of the senate. Un
fortunately for Mason, he aforetime re
fused to wear the McKInley collar, de
livered many glowing and gorgeous
eulogies on the Declaration of Inde
pendence and many rlproaring speech
es in favor of tne lioers ana against
the McKInley policy in the Philippines.
'He coined tbe caustic and fitting phrase
"canned liberty," which be appeared
to think was as unpalatable to the hu
man mind as General Nelson A. Miles
deemed canned beef to be to the human
mouth.
He so frequently and so vociferously
asserted his own Independence that at
last be became persona non grata to
the powers that be and even prated
about resigning and making an appeal
to the .people. All this heroic atti
tudinizing was prior to Mr. McKlnley'a
renomlnation at Philadelphia, .where
the "canned liberty" which William so
much deprecated was declared to be
the only suitable and healthy pabulum
foT Filipinos and Porto RIcans. That
was Mason's one golden opportunity
to write bis name on the scanty list
of tbe immortals. If he-had boldly
supported Bryan, he might have cut a
bigger figure In history than he will,
but be did nothing of tbe sort At tbe
crucial moment he flunked, went to the
White House, gave in bis adhesion to
the cause of "canned liberty" and
climbed Into tbe McKInley band wag
on as nimbly as a man of bis tremen
dous avoirdupois can climb Into or on
to anything, lie made many speeches
for tbe McKInley ticket hoping there
by to make bis calling and election to
a second senatorial term secure. Thaf
