SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, ISM.
Thk crrtwd in town to attend the
circus today puts one in mind of a
Flynn u*eeting.
Mn. Bryan should not forget while
he is in Maine that according to the
returns from that state sent out re-
cently, he is in the enemy's country.
If Mr. Sewall is unable to knock
that knot off Tom Watson, ltryan
should compromise matters by knock-
ing both the tails off his kite.

sounds all right, but Callahan and
Free Homes is something like throw-
ing pearls before swine. The watch-
word is not appreciated.
Willi.k the American farmer is dis-
cussing the luoney question and the
democratic party is rubbing in it free
trade machine, foreigu farmers are
shipping into this country 814,000,000
worth of farm products fcach year.

ago but it is now actually a fact. As

of western expansion and demands
on the transportation of commercial
and human freight.

grants go to western states. The rail | 'orce of workmen unt l at the pres-
rate from Galveston to these western
states is from 812 to Bl.r> and #20 less
than from New York, and that is what
is hurting New York. She is kicking
mildly, and says she will not stand it.
No little insignificant port like Gal-
veston is going to take the business
which ha.s been goiug to New York
for a century without effort. They
will either compel the steamships to
charge a higher rate to Galveston or
they will cut their rail rates from New
York to the west.
In the meantime the Missouri, Kan-
sas and Texas and the Houston and
Texas Central have issued immigrant
taritia, giving low rates from Galves-
ton to all points in Arkansas, Texas,
Colorado, Idaho. Indian Territory,
Iowa Kansas, Minnesota and Mont-
ana These low tariffs were effective
Sept. 15. The Gulf, Colorado and
Sauta l'e has a similar tariff in press,
which will be out the first of next
week. These tariffs will be distributed
broadcast over Europe, so that a
through rate can be made from for-
eign ports to point of destination.
"A chat with passengeroftlcials here
resulted in finding them unanimous in
the opinion that the immigrant traffic
through Galveston was not a tlilug
Thk largest republican gains in
Maine was in the agricultural dis-
tricts, the gain being about 00 per
cent. The gain in the cities, however,
was only about 30 per cent.
Because the students of Yale col-
lege object to being humbugged with
false theories, tome people arc in for
condemning the boys. It ought to be
set to their credit that they didn't
swallow Bryan with open mouthed
wonder.
It seems that Jerry Simpson is not
much after all when it comes to a
serious debate where a few facts are
necessary. Congressman Long is mak-
ing laughing stock of him in a series
of three speeches in tlieaSevcnth dis-
trict in Kansas.
Thk appointment of J. R. Keaton to
succeed Judge Henry W. Scott as
judge of the third judicial district will
prove highly satisfactory to the peo-
of that district. He is a lawyer pure
and simple. He is recognized at the
bar and by his associates as one of the
best lawyers in the territory, of large
legal knowledge and a logical, ana-
lystical mind. He is of absolute in-
tegrity at mind and action. He loves
his profession as a student loves his
theme and does not practice it simply
because of its ainoluments. The peo-
ple of the third district will find in
him a conscientious, able and impar-
tial judge. His appointment meets
with universal approval.

ent time it employs only 183 men and
the factory runs but ten hours a day.
The same condition prevails in greater
or less degrees among all of the indus-
trial plants of the country. They have
been compelled to run on short time
and workmen have been laid off simp-
ly because business has been killed by
the Hryan school of oratory.
Another ease in point is that of the
Baxter Stove Company, of Mansfield,
Ohio. In 181)2, when the country was
prospering under the .McKinley bill
this institution employed 129 hands,
with a monthly pay roll of 85,388.
This year 101 men are employed whose
monthly wages are Illustra-
tions of this kind might l>3 cited by
the column, but it is not necessary.
Every wage earner in the country
knows from experience or observation
that there is less work than formerly,
that business is dull, that industries
languish for want of capital; but they
do not Delieve that these conditions
are brought about by the maintenance
of an honest dollar.
Govebkob Renfrow has made his
annual report for the year ending
June 30, 18'JO, to the secretary of in-
terior. It is a very fino and exhaust-
ive doeuraeut showing- the condition 1
of the territory in all ils branches of
industries and institutions. The re-
port shows a wonderful increase of
population and wealth of ihe terri-j
tory anil its revenue is in a Halter-
ing condition. Thk Stat:: Capital
will publish the reDort ia fall next
week, it being omitted this week ow-
ing to lack of space.
