CAPITAL AND CAP1TAL
. ISTS DESIRED.'
The Tkutii-Indkx heartily
favors the coming into ourcity
and county of capitalists to
invest their money in the de
velopment of our wonderful
natural resources. Those who
come for that purpose or to
invest in the many de
sirable openings in the city
and vicinity for manufactur
ing enterprises of various
sorts, will receive a most hear
ty welcome from this jour
nal. That is one thing and en
couraging capitalists to in
vest in city franchises and
create a monopoly to the in
jury of the greatest number
of our citizens is quite anoth
er. We oppose the granting
of any city franchise to any
person or persons. Is it not
clear that that person or
those persons who secure such
f ranchisesexpect to make large
dividends upon their invest
ments? Fifteen thousandMol
lars will" not Lbe invested in
such; an enterprise just for
UthtfS'neut of the city. But
ivfilx h aid it turns loose
: that Viuch capital which will
benelft every one. We would
like tjf know, if the city can
ir w
. Ju the money and have
the work done? That will
turn looso as much money as
a -rivatb corporation would
do and the franchise still be.
long to the city for the bene
fit of the citizens, and there
would be no incentive to ex
tort from patron?.
City ownership of franchises
will bring in just as much
money as private ownership
and will be of vastly more
benefit to the citizens at large,
the difference being that the
private corporation operates
for its benefit; the city, for
the benefit of the citizens. At
the next municipal election
no doubt, the candsdates will
be called upon to .state their
position upon this important
question.
Meantime, theeriitor of the
Tkutii-Ixdkx will continue to
oppose all grants of municip
al franchises and to advocate
their utilization by the city.
The grant creates a graping
inonopolj which grinds thbse
who patronize it. The city
authorities build and operate
for the public good.
We heartily welcome all to
come and invest in any pri
vate enterprise and shall aid
all who come as best we can.
No place anywhere presents
better openings for the in
vestment of capital.
HILL AS A POLITICAL
LEADER.
New York, June 8. At
the close of the Democratic
State convention, which was
held here this week, exSen
ator Hill remarked that a
platform had been adopted
'upon which intellegent men
can go before the country and
speak." That is true enough.
There is good, old-fashioned
Democracy in the platform,
and it fails to endorse the
Chicago monstrosity or to
declare for the free and un
limited coinage of silver at 16
to 1. But after adopting this
platform, the convention in
structed its delegates to Kan
sas City to vote for Colonel
Bryan and pledged the Dem
ocracy of this State to sup
port any platform the Kansas
City convention might choqse
to adopt, the Chicago sort in
cluded. This piece of folly
Mr. Hill was unable to 'pre
vent. However, he deserves
credit for what he did accom
plish. A'few years ago the
Democracy of this country
had a greater leader than
Hill, but today this shrewd
ex-Governor and ex-Senator
who has made politics the
chief business of his life, is
the very manner the leader
ship of the Democracy. He,
better than any other, could
gather the scattered and de
moralized bands together into
a compact body. If only he
could be substituted for the
Boy Orator of Nebraska! That
would be to tint the hopes of
the Democracy with the lines
of the rainbow.
AN OBJECT OF DERISION.
Naturally, at this time, the
autMrust 'plank, in the State
iVeinocrativ platform pro
ductive of Uepublic.iii deris
ion. In the very stronghold
of the Democracy tliH chief
men in office are large stocky
Holders in ine noggin ice
trust, and the country seems
on the point of being treated
to the spectacle of tlie remov
al by a Republican Governor
of the Democratic mayor of
New York city because, con
trary to the law, he holds
fctock in a company which!
furnishes supplies to the city.
In the minds of the people
Tammany and the ice trust
are so closely allied as to be
practically identical. It . is
E-afe to predict that in the
coming campaign :in this city
not much will be Heard, from
the Tammany orators on the
subject of trusts. Last year
they were told to say nothing
about silver and they obeyed.
This year their speeches will
be wholly made up, no doubt,
of fierce invective against
William McKinley and "Ted
dy" Roosevelt' The attitude
of Tammany this year will be
the attitude of the rascal who
has been, "found out," and
who seeks to distract atten
tion from the blackness of his
own character by smirching
the character of others. In
spite of all, however, - The
Press newspaper, the junior
Republican organ here, seems
to think that the Republicans
Will not have a walk-over in
New York. It is very much
afraid that, a good many Re
publicans and gold Democrats
are so disgusted both with
the President and the Gov
ernor that they will either re
fuse to vote at all or will vote
for Bryan.
.
The above is from the letter
of. Mr. David T. Duncan, New
York correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer, taken
from that Journal of the 10th
inst.
It will be seen that this
prophet of evil to the Demo
ciatic cause has modified won
derfully. His malignity to
ward the Chicago platform
aid toward Mr. Bryan is as
great as ever; but his doleful
prophecies as to the outcome
have changed. He now even
admits that the Republicans
themselves are in doubt about
New York, saying .that they
fear that many Republicans
and gold Democrats will vote
for Mr. J3ryan. This admis-
sion frorh Mr. - Duncan gives
assurance that the tide of
Democracy is rising so rapid
ly in New York that, when at
flood, it will sweep the State.
If Bryan carries New York,
we suspect that some false
prophets will be so chagrin
ed that they will think life
is scarcely worth living. Per
haps though they may quit
the business.
No candid person, who un
derstands the situation, will
question the tact that ex-Sen-atgr
Hill has fallen into line
both for Bryan and for v the
platform which is to be adopt
ed at Kansas City and no one
knows better than he- that
that platform will virtually
re-affirm theChicago platform.
That is as sure as that Mr.
Bryan will be nominated by
acclimation. That Mr. Hill
was given the position he now
hold,8 was due to a compro
mise in which Mr. Hill yield-
ed to the inevitable. It was
wisely done botn by mm ana
r e ai ht i, r
oy Danforth, Mack, Crooker,
Murphy and all concerned
The party is united Upon a
truely Democratic platform
which practically endorses the
main features of the Chicago
platform, while the conven
tion by a unanimous 'vote
pledged the party in the
State to that platform by
pledging to stand by that to
be adopted at Kansas City.
' Mr. Duncan shows' his ani
mus toward the Democracy
by what he says about the Ice
Trust and the connection of
the Democratic officials with
it. He fails to tell that
those who br.ougt it to
light and". are prosecuting
those connected with it are
Democrats. He fails, too, to
tell that urobably three
fourtbp of thoge in it are Re
publicans. .
But Mr. Duncan's prophe
cies and Mr. Duncan's opin
ions are alike neither worth
anything being alike erro
neous. '
