ON THE WEONQ TRACK.
It is a somewhat remarkable thing
to hear a man who calls himself a
. Democrat, advocating the adoption
. at this late day of the policies of the
I Republican party and giving no bet
ter reason for it than that these pol
icies have become the policies of the
country, becanse.they were endorsed
- by the majority of voters at the last
election. That is the position that
Senator McLaurin takes and that is
substantially and logically the posi
tion that every man takes who
endorses McLaurin.
The other reason they give for ac
cepting Republican policies which
I they had been opposing, is that the
country has prospered under them,
thus assuming and practically as
serting that the country would not
have prospered under any other
policies, and yet this country
from the time it took its place among
the nations of the earth has
grown and prospered as no other
nation in the world has. We have
had low tariffs and high tariffs, pro
tective and what have been called
free trade" tariffs and the country
has prospered under all of them.
The assumption, therefore, that the
country owes its prosperity to the
policies of the Republican party is
not borne out by the facts, and this
inferential reflection upon the Dem
ocratic party is without foundation.
This country was steadily increasing
its . manufactures, had built up a
splendid merchant marine, was
building up its railways and add
ing annually to the volume of its
foreign trade before the Republican
party came upon the stage. A good
many things have happened to add
to the progress of development that
are simply consequences of acts
which formed no part of Republi
can policies, but were the nn
foreseen results of events.
The representatives of the party
gave away millions of acres of the
public domain, and gave sub
sidies of millions of dollars to com
i
panies to build railroads across the
continent to the Pacific. There was
great, colossal fraud in that, there
was wholesale corruption and
bribery, but the building of these
t roads opened up to settlement a vast
domain and added a number of States
to the Union, and added thousands
of millions to the national wealth.
That wasn't statesmanship, although
it turned out well. It was simply
giving away the public domain to
rings which controlled Congressmen
in one way or another and bought
them when necessary, when they
were worth buying.
When the war made it necessary
for the Republican statesmen to pro
vide the ways and means to put and
keep armies in the field they made
printed paper money a legal ten
der, flooded the North with
it, and with that money great en
terprises were undertaken, it was
.. put in circulation, people who
had been in debt for years paid their
, debts with it and " prosperity came
N right along, although the Northern
States were in a life and death
grapple with the South. That was
in the nature of an accident or
something forced upon the party.
Money was needed to wage
war, they didn't have the money
and acting on the principle that
necessity knows know law, they
ignored the law, printed paper,
called it money and made it a legal
tender. That is the "endless
.chain" they are so anxious to get
jTid of now.
This paper money with which
they flooded the North started
manufactories of various kinds, and
then the manufacturers got hold of
Congress just as the, railroad -rings
did, and secured the adoption of
the protective tariff policy to foster
the "infants." They have been
; fostering them eyer since, giving
them about ten per cent, more pro
jection now than halfr they in the
tariff' of 1864-65, which gave them
47 per cent. -
From a 25 per cent, tariff in 1857,
they raised it from time to time,
every time giving "the infants!!

of letting the South have much
benefit from, tariff protection, and
as soon as it may be discovered that
the protective tariff helps Southern
indnstries and that they are forging
ahead of similar industries in the
North, just then some of these
Northern statesmen will discover
that protection . is no longer neces
sary, and being no longer necessary
should be abolished.
Where would Mr. McLaurin's new
party be then? Just in the posi
tion the Republican party is now
and has been, fighting for protec
tion while the Republican party
will be fighting against it; the Re
publican party practically getting
upon the Democratic platform,
while Mr. McLaurin and his party
will be climbing- on to the out-of-
date Republican platform. With
the change of sentiment en the tariff
question, it is quite apparent that
Mr. McLaurin's movement is belated
and that he is on the' wrong track

Mark Hanna had his wires too
well fixed for the other fellows and
succeeded in getting a majority of
committees of the
State convention, which means that
it is practically a Hanna convention.
The candidates nominated will be
Hanna's candidates, and the plat
form will be Hanna's platform.
The interesting feature of this is

mat it snows tnat Manna has a
tight grip on the State and will
control it in the next national con
vention, a matter of much import to
Senator Foraker who is a candidate
for the Presidential nomination.
As far as reported there are only
three prospective candidates from
that State Hanna, Governor Nash
and Foraker. fHanna and Nash are
pulling together. Hanna owns Nash
and will use him to play his game
whether he decides to go for
the nomination himself or
to support some other can
didate, which may depend upon
circumstances. The conditions may
be entirely different by the time the
next convention meets from what
they are now, which may make it
necessary to go outside of Ohio for a
candidate, or the sentiment against
letting Ohio have a pre-emption
claim on that office may be so strong
that it would not be good politics to
ignore it.
In either event Hanna may pull
out and throw his influence for some
man he can manipulate as he ma
nipulates McKinley. At all events
the fact .that Hanna has cantured
the Ohio convention and snowed
Foraker under shows that he is
monarch 'of that domain and holds
it well in hand. Foraker may figure
as a flamboyant orator, but when it
comes to manipulating things and
securing substantial results he isn't
in it with the wily and resourceful

A COMBIITE ON C0TT0V SEED.
A Philadelphia dispatch reports
a movement on. foot by a syndicate
with an alleged capital of $100,000,
000 to control the cotton seed oil
business and the bi-products there
of. It proposes to buy all the oil
mills. There are said to be 490 of
these, forty-four of which are own
ed .by the American Cotton Oil
Company and ten by the Southern
Cotton Oil Company, the others
being osmed by companies or by in
dividuals. If this combine forms it will be
in a position t absolutely control
the oil business and can crash the
smaller concerns by over-biddinsr
- ra
them for cotton seed and by under
selling them on oil and other pro
ducts of the mills. It will not only
be master of the smaller mills but
will also control the price of seed,
as it will have no , competing- Pur
chasers and will therefore fijf the
price it will pay for seed. m
This was to some extent ithe case
before with the combines already in
operation, but it will be more so the
case when this new combine, which
absorbs the others goes into opera
tion, for it will have an absolute mo
nopoly of both the seed buying and
oil selling business.
This means something for the cot
ton planter, for the seed are now an
item of considerable value on the
plantation and one that in the ag
gregate is very valuable. When con-
trolled by & monopoly thflt--htiVyt
everything ihTits own hands, the
profits will cut a very insignificant
figure in the planter's farm ac
counts. The biggest man in Europe now,
and doubtless the biggest in the
world, is Lewis Wilkin, a Minne

years of- age, has . continued to

feet and seven and a quarter inches.

He is no bean-pole either, for he

The vainglorious boasting
over the increasing American ex
ports contrasted with the decreasing
imports of foreign countries we
trade with, of which we see so much
in Washington dispatches, indicates
a shallow mind on the part of those
who indulge in it for party pur
poses; for the bfisic principle of
trade is in the exchange of commod
ities, and the nation that has noth
ing it can sell will soon cease to buy.
Beyond that, the prosperity of the

the prosperity of the people, and
the time is not distant when the
fact that some foreign nations,
often regarded as "effete," are over

- All the Speed In the Animal.
. In the lobby of a hotel the -other
evening a number of men were discuss
ing sports and sporting men when the
subject of nerve and grit came up. One
of the party, a well known Calif ornlan,
who knew "Lucky" Baldwin In the old
days, said:
"Baldwin was about the hardest man
to be chiseled out of anything he set
his heart on getting that I ever met up
with. A whole lot of people tried to
put it on him to business and other sort
of deals, but none of these erer suc
ceeded In catghlng 'Lucky' Baldwin
sufficiently asleep to make their plans
Stick.
"Horsemen still talk about a funny
game in which Baldwin figured on one
of the Chicago race tracks a number of
years ago. Baldwin had brought his
magnificent string of thoroughbreds to
Chicago to make an effort to annex the
swell stakes that were then on tap on
the tracks In the windy town, and he
got them home first or la the money In
many of the biggest events. Well, he
had one of his finest horses entered in
valuable long distance event, and
Baldwin was particularly anxious to
win this race, not so much for the
purse end of It as for the glory of cap
turing the stake. His horse just about
figured to win, too, and Baldwin in
tended to 'go down the line' on the ani
mal's chances, not only at the track,
but at all of the big poolrfibms In the
country. He stood to clean up consid
erably more than f 100,000 on the horse
If the brute got under the wire first
Baldwin's regular stable Jockey was
taken sick on the morning of the race,
and the old man' had to hustle around
for another boy to ride his horse In the
big event From another horseman he
bought for a big round sum the release
of a high grade rider, who was to have
taken the mount on a thoroughbred
that didn't figure to get near the money
in the stake race. Baldwin gave the
Jockey his Instructions as to the way
he wanted the horse ridden, and then,
when the betting opened, his commis
sioners dumped Baldwin's money Into
the ring In such large quantities that'
the horse became an overwhelming fa
vorite. "A quarter of an hour before the
horses were due to go to the post a
well knowp bookmaker, to whom Bald
"win had Wten exhibited kindness "In
less prosperous days, ran to where the
old man was standing, chewing a
straw, in his barn.
. " 'Baldwin, said the bookie to the
old man, there's a Job to beat you, and
you're going to get beat They wanted
me to go in with 'em, but you've al
ways been on the level with me, and I
wouldn't stand for It The ring has
bought up your Jock, and your horse
Is going to be snatched.'
"'Much obliged for telling me that'
replied the old man. 'I'll just make n
stab to see that the boy doesn't do any
snatching, though.'
"Baldwin borrowed another gun
from one of his stable hands (In those
days he always carried one of his own
about as long as your arm), and with
his artillery he strolled over the Infield
and took up his stand by the fence
at the turn Into the stretch. He hadn't
mentioned to anybody what he was go
ing to do, and the folks who saw the
old man makipg for the stretch turn
simply thought that Baldwin wanted
to watch the race from Jthaf point of
view. He did,. for that matter, but he
happened to have another end In yi&w.
"Well, the horses got away from the
post In an even bunch, and then Bald
win's horse went out to make the run
ning. The jockey's Idea was to race
the horse's head oft and then pull him
in the stretch, making It appear as If
the animal had tired. Baldwin had
Instructed the jock to play a waiting
game and make his bid toward the fin
ish. The horse simply outclassed his
company, however, and he didn't show
any Indications of leg weariness what
ever as he rounded the backstretch on
the rail a .couple of lengths In front of
his field. Baldwin could see, however,
that the crooked jock was sawing the
horse's head off In his effort to take
him back to the ruck. When the horses
Were still a hundred feet from him,
Baldwin let out a yell to attract his
jockey's attenjtioh, and thep he flashed
his two guns in the sunlight and bawl
ed at the jock:
" 'Leggo that horse's head, you mon
key devil, and go on and win or J'll
shoot you so full of holes that you
won't hold molasses !'
'The Jock gave one look at those two
guns that Baldwin was pointing
straight at him. Then he gave Bald
win's horse his head, sat down to jide
for all that was In blm, and the horse
under him cantered in ten lengths to
the good on the bit" As long as 'Lucky

and unhappiness could result from tha
union, it will be readily believed that it
was with a joyless heart that she arose.
: Cicely waa an orphan, possessed of con
siderable wealth.' She made her home
with a maiden aunt whose chief aim in
life was to make Cicely happy. Her
wealth as well as . beauty of face and
loveliness of character had Brought manyl
suitors to her feet. -Of them-all but one
had won her heart5 gay and handsome
Philip Key croft. There were many who
openly declared that it " was Cicely's
wealth that he desired, as he was known
to be reckless is his living aad frequently
involved in financial difficulties.
Cicely could not throw off her oppres
sion of heart, and, though not unusually
superstitious, she felt that a voice direct
from heaven had spoken and should be
obeyed. With aching; heart and tear
dimmed eyes, she wrote a note and sent
it to her betrothed. Scarce believing the
evidence of his eyes, Philip sat as. If
stunned on reading Cicely's message.
She had clearly stated her reasons for
her action and in closing had- said: "It
.will be nseless to attempt to see me, as I
leave home at once for an Indefinite peri
od. I shall always love and pray for
you Cicely."
For perhaps, the first time in the 29
years of his existence Philip Rey croft In
dulged iu a mental reverie, the subject of
which was his own life and actios as
they must have appeared to others, and
he could not but wonder how such a
sweet ffirl as Cicelv could ever have
cared for him. He was forced to ac
knowledge that she was justified in her
act
As he loved her most sincerely, he re
solved that he . would prove his love and
if" fate was kind would yet win her.
Henceforth his old haunts and friends
should know him no more. With this
determination, he entered the office of a
large law firm and devoted himself most
faithfully to the practice of his profes-.
-slon, to which he had heretofore given
little time.
Five years elapsed, and Philip Rey
croft was known as one of the leading
lawyers of the great city and a man who
for integrity of character commanded the
respect and admiration of all who knew
him. During these years he had no word
of Cicely, but he believed that some
where in the great . world she still lived
and cared for him.
Weary of travel and sightseeing and
lonely at heart since the death of her
aunt Cicely resolved to return to her na
tive land and take up her abode in the
old.home. It was a beautiful estate, sit
uated on the banks of a noble river, and
there she found peace of mind such as
she had not known for many years. Old
friends welcomed her heartky, and it
was not long before she learned of the
change in Philip and the splendid name
he had made for himself. -
One morning at breakfast, on taking up
the daily paper, her eye caught the line,
"Lawyer lieycroft Seriously Injured."
After the first shock of the news shs
read the full account, which stated how
a favorite little newsboy of Mr. Itey
croft's. running across the street to meet
him, came directly in the way of a run
away automobile which suddenly appear
ed around the corner, and but for the
presence of mind and speedy action of
his friend must surely hare been killed.
The child escaped with slight injury, but
bis rescuer was severely hurt and taken
to the hospital, where it was feared he
would not recover.
Cicely lost no time, but went up at once
to the city and drove directly to the hos
pital She was told that no one could
see him, but she (pegged so earnestly to
be allowed to go to him that permission
was granted her. Philip was in a par
tially unconscious condition, guttering
broken phrases in which she caught the
sound of her own name.
Kneeling by his bedside, she laid h
cool hand on his fevered brow and soff
murmured: "Philip, dear Philip, I ft
here. Will you not speak to me?" A
the sound of her gentle voice his eyes
opened, and as they rested on the loved
face an expression of absolute peace and
happiness gave place to that of pain and
agony. Too weak to more than at ter
her name, his hand elasped over hers,
and he fell into a deep sleep,
On awakening, Cicely promised, on
condition that he would not 'try to talk
or excite himself, that she would call
again on the. morrow. Grave fears for
his recovery were still entertained by the
doctors and nurses; but, with Cicely now
returned to him, he made a ""desperate
struggle for life and won the victory over
death. In a few weeks he was able to
leave the hospital, though bearing marks
of his heroic performance which would
remain with him through life, and short
ly after, on a lovely autumn day, these
two, so long separated, were united, never
to part again. Thsy decided that the
little riewsboy who was indirectly the
means of reuniting them should share
their happiness and all the advantages
which love and wealth could give. St.

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to tjie ornins Btar
Npw Yor, June 25. There was
more excitement in cotton to day.
The July option shot up twenty seven
-points to 8.86, in . the forenoon on a
small panic among shorts who were
inorougniy irightened by rumors that
the clique meant to force the figure
upto9csts to-day. The scare was
intensified by reports that August
shorts in New Orleans were in fully
as unfortunate a predicament. Our
market opened steady with prices two
points higher to three point lower,
this being about in keeping with
disappointing Liverpool news . and
estimates for very large port
receipts. But soon after the call
it became plain that very little
cotton was for sale, while the South
gave promise of taking the lead as
a buyer on the Summer months. Then
came stories of July manipulation
which caused the' entire Ynarket to
stiffen rapidly, with July easily lead
ing the rise. Dry weather news from
the Southwest and claims that South
em spot markets were fully three
sixteenths higher on actual sales helped
to strengthen the bull convictions
here. When July had reached 8 85.
August 8.11. October 7.71 tid J.nn.
7.73, there was brisk sjafling for profits
and some pressure on thp reaction
theory. Prices were off several points
"r up noon nour. xne weekly
government crop report when received
was bearishly construed. Selling for
both accounts followed actively, July
touched g 65 and October 7.61. Later
the market was irregular and very sen
sitive to buyiug or selling orders from
any quarter. The great strength from
the Bouth and the firm situation gen
erally prevented too confident selling.
A forecast for dry weather again to
morrow over the belt in general tend
ed to prevent large selling of tbe late
months in th last hour. nno(.iMr
