WHAT MORGAN CAN DO.
The meat packing combine has
had to show the white feather in its
negotiations with J. P. Morgan. It
intends to issue ; io,000,000 bonds.
When the great financial leader was
asked for terms upon which he
would consent to float the issue, he
hinted at a commission of 10 per
cent, which, in this instance, would
amount to $10,000,000. Now, $10,-
000,000 is not much for Morgan,
but it was too much, first, for the
porkers. And so the latter balked,
and flatly refused to disgorge 10 per
cent. Morgan parleyed, cajoled
and, finally threatened. And of
what did his threat consist? In a
hint that he would ruin the foreign
JOHNS. ALLAN Editor itrade of the n,eat combine if he
were not permitted to float the
bonds. Being in control of rail-
roads and of the ship combine, it
would be an easy thing for him, he
said, to raise railroad and steam-
ship rates ten cents a hundred, and
thus take away the trust's profit.

SCHOOL LANDS.
The State Register of Guthrie,
official paper of the School Land
Lessees of Oklahoma, in last week's
issue took occasion to sneer at Prof.
Elder's pamphlet on Oklahoma's Veri)y> a terrible> hajtl ( ^
School Lands and to "by way of a promoters thought. and> prestQ(
side swipe" intimate that Prof.
Elder had better keep his proboscis
out of territorial affairs if he wanted
to hold his position in the Univer-
sity. The very fact that the official
organ of the school Land Lessees
would resort to threats for intimda-
tion purposes reveals the fact of the
strength of Prof. Elder's position
and the weakness of the position of
the School Land Lessee's organ.
If the organ of the School Land
Lessee's thinks for one minute that
Prof. Elder is the only person inter-
ested in the preservation of the
School Lands of Oklahoma from
spoiliation it is very much mistaken.
There are about 3200 voters in
Cleveland county and about 3000
of them endorses of position taken by
Prof. Elder 011 the School Lands of
Oklahoma. Not only do they en-
dorse position taken by Prof. Elder;
but any political party taking posi-
tion on the School Lands held by
the official organ of the School
Land Lessees will do well to poll
200 votes in Cleveland county.
f ARM TENANTRY.
Statisticians now informs us that
farm tenantry in the United States
is on the increase. According to
the figures they give, 25 5 per cent
of all American farms, in 1880, were
worked by tenants. In 1890, the
percentage had risen to 28 4, and in
1900, to 35.3 per cent. At the pres-
ent time, therefore, more than one-
third of our farmers are not owning
their land, but are mere tenants.
This is undoubtedly a surprising,
almost startling, revelation. It sug
gests the question whether we are
drifting toward an age of landed
feudalism. It would probably be
an idle task to conjecture in regard
they crooked the pregnant hinges of
their knees, and begged Morgan to
be kind enough to accept the Jio,-
000,000, with their abject apologies
and profuse thanks. Morgan, 'of
course, smiled and accepted, and is
now making preparations for finan-
cing his latest "deal." He has
again shown his power, and exer-
cised his sovereign authority as
king of the country's realm of
finance, industry and commerce.
There is nothing that can prevent
Morgan from going through the
pockets of everybody that has a
"deal" to float and bonds or stocks
to issue. Morgan is the man that
can and wants to float upon his own
terms. Whoever refuses to pay
Morgan's rate of commission, or to
lick his boots, is a "goner."—The
Mirror.
The recent electiu has climinat
ed Bryan and Tom Johnson as pro-
bable democratic candidates in 1904
and points to Hill, Gorman, or
Olney as the probabilities in 1904.
In 1896 Bryan carried 11 of the 15
states west of the Mississippi RiVer
by a popular majority of 200,000
votes. In the recent election every
one of these states, save Nevada re-
turned to the republican party by a
popular majority vote of 278,000.
In the next national democratic
convention the eastern wing of the
democratic party is certain to dom-
inate and in the next presidential
campaign the two old parties will
vie with each other for the support
of the monied institutions of ti e
East. 1 he effect of this we believe
will be to revive the reform forces
throughout the country and especi-
ally, in the Northwestern states.
The men who followed Weaver in

In speaking of the recent election
the editor of the Democratic paper
cf Springfield says:
"It was a chaos of defeat, with
here and there an upward surge to-
ward victory, governed, however, by
no discernible political tendency in
the least general in its scope. It
was the fight of a leaderless party,
with terrible internal dissensions,
with 110 common principle and no
common aim. In one state there
was an anti-plutocratic candidate
in the adjoining state, a candidate
rank with the prestige of attempted
syndicate exploitation of the people.
In one commonwealth, the party de-
clared imperialism to be the issue;
in the adjoining commonwealth that
issue was considered only to be
ignored. Here tariff reform was
the paramount issue; there the issue
was trust domination. Connecticut
caution on the coal question be-
came downright socialism in con-
servative New York. Doubtless
there has never been a time in
America when the opposition party
understood itself less than it does
today; there has never been a time
when it was more variedly discord-
ant and more magnificently unled,
The Democracy can hope for no
permanent success until it becomes
one thing or the other, until it finds
and unites upon its principles and
gets leadership that is bounded by
more than state or sectional lines."
