No barm ia to be allowed to come to Britleh intereat there on account of the and lib rt war in 8 nih Africa, if President licKioley can help it. Deepite all warnings, tbe chancea are teat the Put to Rican bill will past the enate substantially unchanged. The republicans are wedded to their Iruat idols and prefer to antagonise the coun try rather thin aotaon'ss the men who will subscribe o the campaign f lads, on tbe prlncip'e that it ia eair to fool the people than to fool trie tnillionairta. But they may find that they are mistaken .

The matter of "Well. wLat do you think of the republican ticket." Of course it ie In order for republicans to declare it is a strong one, this it customary, and tor tbe opposition to state that it is a weak ticket. 'Ite strength will be better nn derstood as the campaign advances and the men who!oppoe them have been nominated. In the ticket itself at a glance there can be discovered no partic ular element of strength. Sometimes tingle man will add power to a whole ticket. In this case there seems to be nothing of tbe kind. So far at now known there is nothing in the rrakeup of tbe ticket that will give any occaioit a rate pieces of paper ia marvelous. I qualification, though is one. in opm Tbe harmony in tbe recent republican county convention was on the surface. Underneath there was considerable of a whirlpool It eoagreee passes the Porto Rican blti it will be like tbe man on board ship who clang to bis beg of gold with t' e veseel sinking. Now it tnms out that the United ; States Consul-General in Sooth Africa acting at the instance ot Presidente K'U ger and Sieyo, cabled to President Me 'Kinley previous to tbe Boer war, asking him tone his goo J offi:es to prevent hostilities, and that our noble president, f who ie so eolicitioue about unnecessary bloodshed, absolutely igmred tilt cm muoicatioo. It seem about time for Mr. Hay to explain. . It ie creditable to Albany that , it has congressional timber on both sides. Tbe surroundings are conducive to develop ment of legielative facoltiee. of There are no trusts. The trusts are good. If there are trusts we will take care them. Tbie ie given as Mr. Ranna'e version o t-e trust question. The differernt opinions ot a crowd are always interetting. The tixe specified is generally according to the politics of tbe aritmetician, few men being lair enough to give their candid opinion when tbe crowd ie against their interest. Take tbe recent Bryan crowd for iostance. A man in a court house window eounted a section 70 by 60 at a point where tbe people were wedged in together. Tbat would mean 4 .230 people, say 4,000. Tbe section was not nearly ball tbe erewd . And yet some have tbe unfairness to ssy there was a small crowd bare.

Of course tbe republic fiat wlit go out will not be such a re public at tbe United Siatee with Us won derful advantages, hut it Is a republlo asvarthelv.a, as peculiar as some of Ite forms may be. J he Dmochat cannot tee how It is possidle lor a loyal member ot this gieat republlo to rejoice over tbe downfall ot a sliter republlo, the death blow to a republican institution and tbs enlargmeot ot an empire. It will .mean a victory for imperialism, tbe oentralixa. turn of government Into one person, and the reaching out by force to secure what ever is desired just ae much, though in a different! way, as tbe conquest! of Alexander and Caesar. Tito transmis sion ot government by blood from (atber to son or daughter is so wrong la its na ture tnat it nettle no argument to cou damn it. Ttier is absolutely only right form of government, and that i eompletely by the people, such a form at only tbe republics p restate. It stands out sa boldly and emphatically .dlfferetn fro oi other forms that It should bind all republics together In tiee as close as brother to brother even though one re- piblio may be incomplete in Its form and lack the advantages ot a higher civilisation.

It certainly is time tbat we placed man before tbe dollar. Tbe spirit of tbe pres ent age ie to place tbe dollar first, and it is for'this reason that the rights off men re ignored by tbe trust while congress ia its apathy permits tbe robbing of tbe masses by exhorbitaot prices by jnooop olies ot the country. It is reported from Washington tbat Mr. McBride, one cf Oregon's senators is , worried over reports from republican primsries in Oregon. He bas reaton to ' be. Tbe cbancet are that hit tuccessor will not be named McBride. This ia to be boped in tbe interest of Oregop.
