. Tae Sultan of Turkey shares the
Democratic fear of President Roose-
velt’s impulsiveness.
WesTERN Democrats insist that the
silver question is as sound a theory as
ever. Yes, nothing but sound.
DEMOCRATIC campaign managers
should keep Champ Clark off the stump
until he agrees to carry a safety razor.
RusseLL SAGE is 88 years of age and
rated at $170,000,000. He should be eli-
gible for the Democratic Vice Presi-
dential nomination in 1908.
JUDGE PARKER promises to be satis-
fied with one term in the Presidency.
The voters will ask him to be satisfied
with less than that.
el
CHAIRMAN TAGGART will not open a
Western headquarters. The Democrats
have no hope of carrying any state
west of the Alleghanies.
Sir Tromas Lirrox is going to make
a fourth hopeless effort to lift the
American cup. Such a cheerful loser
should be in Democratic politics.
“Ours is a world power” said Judge
Parker in his speech of acceptance, and
he might have added, “thanks to the
wisdom of the Republican party.”
—
Junge PARKER assures the voters
that the Democracy is the coming
party. The only trouble is that it al-
ways arrives four years behind time.
Ter Western Democrats who were
clamoring for Judge Parker to break
his silence did not expect him to break
their political hearts at the same time.
Ex-PreSIDENT CLEVELAND professes
to fear President Roosevelt and the
army. Mr. Cleveland should remember
that Coxey’s armies do not march
under Republican administrations.
Tue Panama Canal is another
achievement of which the Democrats
complain only because it represents
Republican ability to grapple with
perplexing and difficult problems.
THE claim of certain Democrats in
the West that silver should be worth
as much an ounce as wheat is a bushel
should be classed with the humors that
always mark the progress of a political
campaign.
ies)
It is folly to eriticise David B. Hill
for his plan of managing a Democratic
campaign. He fully appreciates that
his party shows to the best advantage
when diplomatic concealment is appli-
ed to its record.
Jubak PARKER is perfectly safe in de-
claring for one term. Experience has
taught the American people that one
Democratic administration is all they
can ever afford, without going into
bankruptey proceedings.
Tae Republican party will make no
claims of credit for the splendid crops
which are now being harvested, but
the Republican party has made possi-
ble the splendid prices which the farm-
ers will get for their products.
In 1890, before the passage of the
McKinley Law, we imported 329,435
tons of tin plate. Last vear we im-
ported 47,360 tons. In 1890 we pro-
duced no tin plate whatever. In 1803
THE average number of failures dur-
ing tbe last Democratic administration
was about fourteen thousand annually.
Since 1897, with a large increase in the
number of business concerns, the aver-
age has been between ten and eleven
thousand annually.
Wren W. F. Sheehan bolted the
Democratic candidate in 1898. he start-
ed a “roll of honor” upon which were
written the names of Democrats who
wanted sound money. Judge Parker’s
name is not on that roll. He voted for
Bryan in 1896 and again in 1900.
Tom WaTteoN says that the 6,500,000
Democrats who followed Bryan in two
campaigns can not be delivered to the
Clevelandites. Watson should at least
subtract one from that number, as
Judge Parker has been delivered to the
Clevelandites and the charges paid.
HeNrY G. Davis complains that the
expense of maintaining the federal
government is constantly increasing.
He fails to understand why it should
cost more to keep a family of 80,000,-
000 than it did the family of 80,000,000
that Uncle Sam had when Mr. Davis
was a boy.
A mAN who was once congratulated
on the high standing he maintained in
his community, and also upon his un-
usual tactiturnity, remarked naively,
that if a person succeeded in keeping
quiet, people would never discover how
commonplace his ideas were. Judge
Parker seems to have heard of that
man.

THE whole question of unionism is
put inte a nutshell by President Roose-
velt when he gays, “We recognize the
organization of capital and the organi-
zation of labor as natural outcomes of
our industrial system, which is to be
granted the full protection of the law
and which in turn is to be held to a
strict obedience to the law.”
Maxy people question the proprioty
of estimating the chances of success by
the odds speculators are willing to
give, but it is, perhaps, worth while
calling attention to the fact that in
New York City bets are being made
daily with increasing odds in favor of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. No well-
informed Democrats are willing to give
even chances on the success of the
sphinx of Esopus.
THE history of the Democratic party
has been one succession of failures.
Whenever it has been given power with
the opportunity to inaugurate and car-
ry to completion some gregt national
issue, such as a tariff law, a financial
policy, or a lesser national issue, it has
proved not only disastrous for the
party and policy itself, but has carried
with it disaster to the financial and
commercial interests of the country.
THERE is not a single act in the ad-
ministration of Theodore Roosevelt,
there is not one single act in his public
or private record, for which he needs
to.apologize. On the other hand the
editorial columns of the Democratic
papers now supporting Judge Parker
are filled with apologies and explana-
tions of the inconsistent course of not
only the candidates, but the party
which they are endorsing.
“WE each and all owe a duty to the
community and to the state. It is a
positive duty, and that is to aid in se-
curing good laws and their faithful en-
forcement. We are not menaced by
foreign foes. We have no fear of alien
attack. We have nothing within to
dread except the indifference of the
intelligent citizen to the discharge of
his civic obligations.”—Hon. C. W.
Fairbanks, at Freehold, N. J., June 27,
1903.
Ovur old friend Lucifer Ananias Smith
seems to think that because he has fol-
lowed political bunglers over a preci-
pice, that others ought to do the same.
Good Republicans never follow erring
friends into the Democratic party or
into any fool bolting movement. The
way to be a Republican is to stick to
the party, and of all the political par-
ties under the sun, the Republican
party is far and away the best and 'the
safest to tie to.
Our expenses during the past few
years have been about $6.30 per capita.
This is considerably less than were the
per capita expenditures during the
early seventies, and then we had no
large pension account, we had no Pan-
ama canal, we had no rural free de-
livery, we had no Philippines, and we
had no wish to maintain our position
as the foremost nation of the world
with its responsibilities and necessarily
increased expenditures.
No TRUER words were ever spoken
speech of acceptance wherein he said:
“President Roosevelt has been con-
fronted with large and serious ques-
tions. These he has met and solved
with high wisdom and courage. The
charges made against him in the Dem-
ocratic platform find an irrefutable an-
swer in his splendid administration,
never surpassed in all the history of
the Republican party and never equal-
ed by the party which seeks to dis-
credit it.”
It will not do to rely upon the po-
litical complexion of the United States
Senate to save us from tariff agitation,
Should Messrs. Parker and Davis be
elected in November and a Democratic
House of Representatives, we should
have a tariff law framed within twelve
months and the business interests of
the country would feel the effects im-
mediately, even if it was impossible to
repeal the present law. So great is
the fear of Democratic tariff tinkering
that the smallest cloud on the horizon
would bring a storm of commercial
disaster long before any tariff law gould
be enacted.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C.
DeWitt, of Chicago, discovered some
years ago how to make a salve from
Witch Hazel that is a specific for Piles.
For blind, bleeding, itching and pro-
truding Piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases, DeWitt's
Salve has no equal. This has given
rise to numerous worthless counter-
feits. Ask for DeWitt’s—the genuine.

CRIPPLE CREEK TROUBLE DE-
SCRIBED BY A CITIZEN.
From the Somerset Standard.
Visitors at the home of Dr. and Mrs.
G. B. Hough are Mr. and Mrs. L. C.
Moore, of Cripple Creek, Colorado, Mrs.
Moore being a sister of Mrs. Hough.
Both of them are natives of Fayette
county, and they have been visiting
through the East for the past seven
weeks. At New York Mr. Moore par-
ticipated in the annual National Bun-'
defest Rifle Shoot, and carried away
some of the medals. There were twen-
ty-seven hundred contestants, the
shooting being done with rifles at a dis-
tance of two hundred yards.
Coming from Cripple Creek where
Mr. Moore has been in business for the
past eighteen years, he is full of infor-
mation concerning the miners’ strike
that has been in progress there for
about eighteen months, the like of
which has probably never been equaled
in this country. He says the city of
Cripple Creek has a population of about
20,000 inhabitants and that it is depend-
ent largely upon the mines. The
present strike is the first one in that
district for ten years. When the last
strike was settled an agreement was
reached betreen the mine owners and
the Western Federation of Labor, a
compact that was faithfully kept until
the present trouble, when about six
thousand miners, went out on a sym-
pathy strike with union men who oy?
a grievance at Colorado City. Since
then the strikers have not stopped in
their lawlessness short of murder.
Lives have been taken by the whole-
sale and property has been destroyed
wantonly. Governor Peabody, at the
solicitation of the business men of
Cripple Creek, called out the State
guard to suppress the disorder. To
make matters worse some of the county
and city officials. who were elected
largely by the vote of the union miners,
have aided the strikers in this trouble.
It came to such a pass, Mr. Moore says,
that an alliance of the business, pro-
fessional and better men of the com-
munity was formed, and a course of
1 action decided upon at a public meet-
ing. A committee of twelve was ap-
pointed to call upon the Sheriff, one of
the strike sympathizers. and demand
his resignation, one of the arguments
used to persuade him being a rope in
the hands of determined men. The of-
ficer resigned then and there, and his
successor was elected on the spot.
This same course was taken with sev-
eral minor officials, and more than one
hundred of the strike leaders were
either deported or driven from the
community. The lowest wages paid to
the union men at Cripple Creek before
the strike, was $3 for a day of eight
hours, and from that up to $6.
The above should be read and
thoughtfully considered by a lot of
fellows in this vicinity who are allow-
ing their minds to be poisoned and
their judgment warped by the ravings
of an unprincipled and unreliable so-
cialistic and semi-anarchistic sheet
published at Girard, Kansas, and er-
roneously called “Appeal to Reason.”
The Kansas paper is a monstrosity that
appeals to the ignorance and narrow
prejudices of men, and to be influenced
by the worthless and unreliable slush
that appears in its columns from week
to week, is simply showing a very low
order of intelligence on the part of the
persons so influenced. Men who waste
their time reading such damnably
worthless and corrupt literature are
never benefited thereby, but they are
poisoning their own minds and the
minds of their posterity, shriveling
their souls and helping to betray them-
selves into final oblivion and damna-
tion.

A Fool Howl from a Howling Fos
In last week’s Meyersdale Commes
cial, E. 8. McCullough, the big-mou fie
ed jackass and erstwhile Mormon ela
from Michigan, attacks the Meyersdslie
Republican and its editor witk all he
venom and hog language at his com
mand. He denies that he advised the
organized miners of this region to bog—
cott the Republican and the mas
business men of Meyersdale who &s-
clined to go into the Labor Day parades
on Sept. 5th. His denial, however, &
like the man, it doesn’t count for muds.
McCullough seems very much afrauf
that the Republican will turn the Meg
ersdale business men against him. He
need have no fears along that line, fax
the business men of this entire regiem
have been against the imported Micki
gan jackass ever since he started @m
bray in this coal field. The reason &s
plain. A jackass is detested on general
principles, and especially so when he i
continually doing a lot of useless bray-
ing a la McCullough.
In his last bray, Jackass McCullough
acknowledges that he can’t win the
strike for the miners, and he calls oa
Editor Bishop to use his good offiess
with the coal companies to effect =
compromise, and he says that the strife
will be called off if 55 cents per tons
offered and full recognition of the
union granted.
The proposition comes too late, we
fear, and it would be folly to ask the
operators to pay 55 cents and gras
full recognition of the union. Had thes
strike managers made that propositiem
in the outstart, there is little or om
doubt that it would have been accepted.
But instead of using good sense am
good diplomacy, the strike managers
refused 60 cents a ton when Johm
Meager made the initial offer, which, &
accepted, would likely have establishe®
that as the scale price for the regice
for one year.
The truth is, the strike managers
wanted nothing but a strike, so that
they could hold down fat jobs that are
not to be had when there are no labor
troubles. Had the miners of this re-
gion acted on their own judgment, in
stead of being governed by the jaw-
smiths and worthless agitators from
abroad, they would not now be in the
sad predicament that they have allow-
ed the labor grafters to lead them inte.
The Creek miners used better judg-
ment, and if you go to Frostburg and
midgle among them, you will hear them
poking all sorts of fun at the miners of
this region. They say the miners here
are fools for striking when the Creek
region is working, and that’s just what
the strike managers think themselves,
but will not admit it on account of
their own good jobs, which they ase
holding at the expense of the posr
miner and his family, who must suffer
while the strike managers feed at the
best hotels and continue to rub ther
well filled bellies against the beer andl
champaign counters of the hotel bars
This is not intended as a defense of
Editor Bishop, for he needs none. Itis
merely to show you that McCullough's
tirade is only a fool howl from a howi-
ing fool, and even that is self-evidest
and needs no showing up.
