DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
The country under democratic
policy is at the mercy of the syndi
cato of London and New York bank
ers who floated the last democratic
loan and made several millions of
dollars at the expense of tho Ameri
can people. If the prices of Ameri
can cereal and food products can be
kept doTrn low enough to undersell
the cheap market of the world, an
other national financial collapse
through the drainage of old to
Europe may be averted. If the
American farmer will only be oblig
ing enough to take lees for his wheat,
corn, cattle, hogs, wool and other
products, and if the American man
ufacturer will kindly consent to man
ufacture less goods, ami it tho Amer
lean workman will considerately give
up some of their jobs, we may be
able to export enough of our pro
ducts to pay for our heavy imports
and thus enable the Rothchild-Bel-
mont syndicate of capitalists to savo
the democratic administration from
again precipitating this country into
financial distiess. With all the ele
ments of wealth and prosperity in
our midst, and abundantly able to
take care of ourselves, we are now
made the wards of the most merer
lees policy that has ever throttled
American industry and thrift. Un
der this policy we rob workingmen of
employment they ought to baTe and
ourselves of money we ought to keep
in this country.
IS IT SOf
If the language and views of CaUi
olics, as quoted by Dean Clark in bis
lecture last Saturday night be cor
rect, it bodes no good to American
institutions. But in this they are
not the only religions order that is
seeking control of this government.
Senator Blair of New Hampshire, at
the instance of New England pari
tsnism, moved to accomplish this end
by offering to amend the federal
constitution. Woe be the day when
any religious denomination shall get
control of the government. The
true policy for, and the only means
of safety to the liberty of conscience
is in keeping church and state eepar
ata. No priest, preacher or layman
high in ecleaiastical authority should
be entrusted with political power.
The fight is now on in the case of
the water famine. It is a case of the
"survival of the fittest." The com
pany is losing rent and the city in
case of fire, and only in that case,
may lose several buildings. The
company is losing the water rents
every day, that is certain. The com
pany has the city now by the throat
trying to choke it into submission.
The company claims its stock is not
paying, yet it holds it at about 50
per cent above par. That is a little
significant
Let the congress which will meet
four months hence declare anew fa
voring the money plank in the re
publican platform of 1892; and for
protection to American products and
American labor and a further re
striction of foreign immigration, es
pecially of foreign contract laborers,
and you will see a revival of good
times, because men will have confi
dent in receiving a profit from investments.
LOSS MORE THAN A fllLLION.
Hundreds of People are Rendered
Homeless.
Srii.u-.i't. Wash. Aug. U. Tho eutiie
business orlion of Sjiranue is in ashes,
hundreds are homeless tonight, and the
losses will aggregate $1,250,000. The
town ia almost destitute of food, and
Mayor Sanderson has Boot messages to
the leading citieB appealing for aid. The
jxioplo are apalled by their frightful
losses, and it will be several days before
they will know whether to try to rebuild
the city or not.
At noon today the tire alarm was
Bounded for a blaze in Brysut's chop and
feed mill, corner of railroad avenue and
D struct. Tho department responded
promptly, but the blaze was quickly
fanned into a roaring furnace, and the
tire boys were driven back from the scene
almost as soon as they arrived. With
lightning rapidity the flames leaped from
ono building to another, and inside of
five ruinulo3 it was seen that the entire
(own was threatened.
lue prisoners tn the county jail were
released when the fire was about one
block away, and they did excellent work
in assisting tho neighboring business
houses to take their goods to a place of
safety, but after tho fire was under con
trol they disappeared.
Among the first buildings logo was the
Northern Pacific railroad station. As
many of the books aud papers as possible
were taken to a place ot safety, and Op
erator oung lost no time in connecting
tho wires in ono of tho fields east of town
where, seated on an imn wheelbarrow,
with the telegraph instrument on a wood
en box, he sent and received messages as
rapidly as possible.
The scenes at the burning ot the round
uouse were calculated to alarm and ex
cite even the coolest. Flames rose to
hcicht of fully 100 feet, and seemed burst
ing from every portion of the roof at the
same instant. Workmen lost many dol
lars' worth of tools. They made desper
ate efforts to save them, but were driven
back by tho flames. It is estimated that
folly toOOO worth of tools belocginc to
the workmen were destroyed, upon which
there was no insurance. Engine after
engine was run out from the roundhouse
only to be met by the advancing flames,
and the driver obliged to jump and flee
for his life. Twenty four locomotives
were destroyed, only seven being saved
Four hours after the fire started, the
town presented a scene of utter desola
tinn. A fen smoldering ruins alone
marked the spot of what bad been the
prosperous city of Sprague.
An Old Story Retold.
Sax Fka-ci!co, Aug. 3. There is an
other story about Dorr ant in circulation
on tho .Sooth Side that the police have
not yet been able to trace. It is said
that a year ago Durrant was very near to
jail on a very serious charge. The al
leged victim in this case was a young
girl not yet 11 years old. She went to
the church with the young man, accord
ing to report, and on her return some
told Bach a story of what sho suffered at
his hands that the child's parents pro
posed having him arrested for felony.
The horror of making the child's misfor
tune public, and fear that the stigma
would remain with her through life was
so great that in the end they determined
to let the man go unpunished rather than
to injure their daughter, as they thought
the other course would do. Only a few
people knew of it tho family pbya:cian
add an intimate friend or two. When
Durrant was arrested for the Emanuel
church murders, one friend who know
the story went to the child's parents and
urged them to.'allow the matter to be ex
posed, bat unsuccessfully. Durrant 'a
attorneys say tho story is false.
Tho manager and actors of the Alcazar
theater were before Superior Judge Mur
pby again today in the action for con
tempt of court in producing "The Crime
of a Century," a play founded on the
Kmanuel church murders. Jndge Mur
phy had forbidden the production during
the trial of Theodore Durrant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont, on the score
that the production of the play might
inflanio public sentiment against Dur
rant. The court found W. K. Daly
managerof tho theater, guilty of con
tempt and sentenced him to three days'
imprisonment in the county jail. The
