JAPS LOSE
OF A JAPANESE ARMY
North of the Russian Army
in Manchuria makes it
LOOK AS THOUGH THE RUSSIAN
Land Forces Were Also Bottled up About
As Badly as Their Pleet.
Cruiser was caught on a hidden mine
and sent to the bottom of the sea
with a loss of two men and 22 wound-
ed. The land forces have succeeded
in cutting of Russian communication
with Port Arthur and it is also re-
ported that the Japs have gotten
an army north of the Russian army
In Manchuria and cut off Its retreat,
in other words has the Russian land
forces as badly bottled up as the
Russian fleet. The appearance of a
Japanese army on the north has
frightened the Russian commander
for it cuts off his retreat to Harbin
and may mean the capture of the
entire Russian army in Manchuria.
The Japs lost a cruiser during the
past week. The vessel was at work
in the harbor near Dalny searching
and exploding hidden mines and suc-
ceeded in blowing up 5 mines but the
A Strange Situation.
Here is a strange situation. Three
fourths of the democratic party stands
for wnat Bryan stands for. The re
maining one-fourth is tied up to pln-
tocracy; to the trusts, to capitalistic
combinations. Yet the one-fourth
claim the right to dictate the policy
of the party and to control its action
and the demnnd will be conceded.
Here is a party that denounces Presi-
dent Roosevelt because he is not do-
ing enough against the trusts, yet
the controlling minority of his party
complain that he is not sufficiently
tied to capitalistic combinations and
insist on having a "safer" man. So
it is conceded that Wall street shall
now name the democratic candidate.
—Portland Oregonian.
Hit 'Em Again-
There has been a great deal of safe
and sane conservatism in our govern-
mental affairs in this country. If we
do not exactly understand the true
meaning of that phrase it is not for
lack of examples.
The Cleveland bond deals of 1894
and 1895 are of course very conspicu-
ous instances and each must have
netted twenty-five or thirty million
dollars for the thrifty gentlemen that
engineered them. These gentlemen
are now engaged in an attempt to re-
organize and control the Democratic
party. They have found "conserva-
tism" a good thing and desire more
of it.—Chicago American.
The per capita of money is now
$0 52 larger than it was twelve years
ago. It is nearly ten dollars more
than it was eight years ago, there
having been a shrinkage during
Cleveland's last term. The increase
in the money volume has come chiefly
from the increased output of gold
m ines. Good luck of gold hunters
and not the Republican party, has
given the people the little improve-
ment in times, for the increase in the
money volume is the main if not the
sole cause of better prices for labor
and labor's products. But are the
present times the best the people
should desire? Is it not a fact that
the present times are hard seeming
good only in comparison with the
harder times that have existed? Are
there not men and women living in
splenor unequaled by kings and
queens off the labor of free American
citizens5 Millions of men and women
are working for the pleasure of a few
McCall
Has it for
Less,
building million dollar mansions,
building andjoperating private yachts
keeping the flies off of docktailed
horses', making thousand dollar dress-
es, two hundred-dollar hats, acting as
ushers, maids, etc. All these should
be doing something in return for the
labor which produces their food, their
clothing and all the comforts of life
they enjoy. If they were producing
something for the masses, instead of
toiling for the imaginary .pleasure of
a few, there would be a marked im-
provement in the condition of the
masses of the people. A fair ex-
change of labor would bring prosperi-
ty so dazzling that the present times
would be looked upon as brutal slavery.
The labor and time-saving inventions
should make the people fifty times
better off than they were a century
ago, and yet there is probably a
greater part of the people who are
not possessed of enough wealth to
keep them sixty days, than there was
then. A few, through control of the
policy of the government have prac-
tically enslaved half of the people
and have a tight grip on the biggest
part of the other half. Are you con-
tent? Does the saddle of your rider
fail to gall you? Do the digs of his
spurs feel good? If so, then hump,
you whelp, you are not deserving of
liberty.—Mo. World.
"Neither do they (the old parties)
now promise us any substantial re-
form. Tbey have agreed together t.
ignore in the coming campaign every
issue but one. They propose to drown
the outcries of a plundered people
with the uproar of a sham battle over
the tariff, so that capitalists, corpora-
tions, national banks, watered stocks
the demonetization of silver, and the
oppressions, of the usurers may
be lost sight of. They propose to
sacrifice our homes, lives and children
on the altar of Mammon, to destroy
the multitude in order to get corrup-
tion funds from the millionaires.—
From the preamble to the People's
platform adopted at Omaha July 4,
1892.
Were the gifted Donnelly, who
wrote the preamble to the Omnha
platform, still living, he could hardly
better express the present situation.
—Mo. World.
There is only one way to overthrow
the rule of monoply, and that is the
way adopted by the Democrats, Re-
publicans and Greenbackers who
formed the People's party, They
united to fight both the old parties.
The people must unite for political
action independent of the old parties
or continue to see their government
controlled by the monopolists.—Mo.
World.

at Norman Monday. She was a suc-

the past term.
