The question arises with thinking
men "What does this all mean?
What is the 6ause for such prodi-
gality on the part of men who have
spent nearly a life time, not earning
but scheming to secure advantages
over their fellowmen, which enables
them to pile up fortunes by plunder-
ing industry of the just fruits of its
toil and accumulations of wealth?
Are these men prompted in their
donations and endowments by
philantropic motives? In a few
instances, no doubt, but in most in-
stances we fear a preservation of
the conditions favorable to the
breeding of millionaires prompts
donations for

The daily papers are getting to
be about as well ladened with
notices of National Bank failures
as big wheat yields and other pros
perity news items.
Senator Hanna again demonstrat-
ed at the late Ohio State Conven-
tion, that he was indeed and truly
about all of it in the Buckeye state.
He has whipped his enemies in
that state so completely that they
have shelved all opposition to him.
Private property devoted to public
service is subject to public regula-
tion—common law and ruling of
U. S. Supreme court some years
ago; but not since U. S. Snpreme
court changed Federal constitution
and virtually left the Interstate
commerce commission powerles,
and vendered the provisions in
many of the state constitutions, re-
gulating traffic rates a nullity.

The saloon keeper readily contri-
butes to support churches; yet his
business is not calculated to build
up a church. In fact the saloon
business is about the worst fore the
church has to contend against in
this vale of tears. The saloon
keeper contributes to the church,
in most instances at least, to pro-
tect his business. He understands
that the minister and church stew-
ards know the names on the sub-
scription lists of the church and
this fact has a tendency at least not
to make the fight on the saloon
business any more aggressive than
it would be without any contributions
from the saloon keepers. In fact
it has a tendency to have the church,
in its battle against sin and con-
quest of the world for Christ, just
to slant its guns a little so as not to
infalidate its subscription list.
The millionaires of this country

ble for them to accumulate their
millions. They also understand
fully as well how a change i« pres-

The Democrat war horses have
much to say, at the present time,
about the Democratic party getting
down to Democratic principles.
From this we would infer that the
party had wandered away from I
Democratic principles and the ad
mission of the leaders that thei
party must get back to Democratic ;
principles, proves the charges made
against the Democratic party by the
Populists to-wit: That the Demo- j
cratic party had abandoned Demo-
cratic principles. The mere asser
tion that the party must get back to !
Democratic principles should not
be accepted by men who believe in
Democratic principles. They should i
demand from the fellows asserting
that the party must get back to j
Democratic principles, a statement
defining what they understand as
Democratic principles. There seems j
to have grown up a great diversion
some men in this country to
accumulate millions while other
men equally as intelligent and
shrewd; struggle along through life
without being able to accumulate
any vast amount of wealth. Who
is going to control the higher educa-
tional institutions of the country in
the future? Who is going to dictate
what shall be taught and preached in
these heavily individually endowed
institutions? Preachers are losing
their pulpits and college presidents
are being bounced today for what
reason? Because they d o n't
preach or teach according to idea
or wish of some individual who has
endowed or threatens to withhold
endowment from the institution.
Where is all this kind of work lead-
ing to and where is it going to end?
PEOPLE IN REVOLT.
On last Thursday evening 5,000
Philadelphians met in the Academy
of Music in that city and inaugurat-
of opinion among Democrats as to ed a revolt aSainsl the present re-
what are Democratic principles. Pub,ican cit>' government. It was
The party should be forced to make i precipitated b>" the action of
itself clear on this point before elec- :vla>'or Ashbridge in granting away
tion and not given an opportunity the cit>' francl>'ses for nothing and
to construe.as in the case of (Jrover, by tl,e rePub!ican machine turning
and the ravishing of her sacred safe-
guards of law."
The principal speech of the even-
ing was that of Colonel A. K. Mc-
Clure, the retired editor of the
Philadelphia Times. Mr. McClure
did not mince words, and his ar-
raignment of the whole Republican
organization, both city and state,
was extremely severe. District
Attorney Rothermel, he said, was
nominated by the Republican or-
ganization three years ago and
elected. Now this same organiza-
tion, controlled by the same men,
refuse him another term. "They
have named a man," he continued,
"who is untried and an unknown
quantity. Mr. Rothermel sent to
prison ballot box thieves, the mas-
ters of whom are the political
leaders of the city today. He had
also made it so uncomfortable for
others of the same stripe that they
are living in distant lands and can-
not come home until Mr. Rothermel
is out of office."
That was the reason, he said,
why Mr. Rothermel was not named.
Colonel McClure then told of Mr.
Weaver's unknown quantities and
said:
"Mr. Weaver has been nominated
by these men because they have
been either assurred or reasonably
believe that he will prosecute or
not prosecute crime as there inter-
ests might demand. The issue has
been intensified by the most be-
wildering public robbery ever wit-
nessed in the state, and the men
most interested are Mayor Ash-
bridge, Insurance Commissioner
Durham, Contractor McNichol and
their associates. They are committ-
ing public robbery by criminal con-
spiracy."
Colonel McClure told how the
street railway bills were pushed
through the legislature, and how the
governor had signed them at a
"convenient hour so that the 'gang's'-
representatives could be first char-
ters."
He closed by saying the battle
was not one of party, but one of
self-preservation against organized
crime, a corrupt ballot and the loot-
ing of the public treasury.
Other speakers followed and
talked along similar lines and
Rothermel was nominated as an
independent candidate for re-elec-
tion. The above state of affairs
exists in nearly all of the large
cities in the country and the con-
dition growing worse each year.
The "Boss" and the "Machine" is the
outgrowth and product of partizan
an politics. In the early history
of this country we had leaders and
followers; but today it is the boss
and his machine. Leaders don't
attract followers to them by a dic-
tatorial policy; but the boss is a
dictator and you must do as he
commands if you hope for any re-
ward from the machine, you must
take the dose the boss and machine
puts up and play just like it suited
you or you will be put on the boss's
black list.
