JOHN O. RANKIN,
Kdttor, Publisher ami Proprietor.
FSIDA7 M0EKIN3, MA? 13, 1500.
Virginia is to have a state con-
stitutional convention, for the
purpose of revising and remodel-
ing the State constitution.
It is said that Mark Hanna
gave as a reason for opposing
the seating of Quay that he could
obtain larger campaign contribu-
tions from Quay's enemies than
from his friends.
Since August 6, 1808, the
American losses in the Philip-
pines have been as follows: Kill-
ed, 477; died of wounds and di-
seases, 290; died of diseases, 1,-
137; wounded, 2,114.
Roosevelt declares that he
would prefer to retire to private
life rather than accept the vice
presidential nomination on the
■ Republican ticket. Sensible fel-
low! He evidently scents the
danger from afar.
Business men who patronize
fako concerns fer their printed
stationery, etc., have no excuse
for grumbling about people send-
ing off for goods. They should
not blame others for doing that
which they encourage by exam-
ple.—El Campo Eagle.
Mark Hanna and other enemies
of the Nicaragua Canal bill are
reported to be trying to sidetrack
the measure, and it looks like
their efforts to prevent action on
the bill by the Senate at the
present session will prove sue-
ossaful.
If one is to judge from the
grsat divergence of opinion
ftmong the leading Republicans
of the country concerning the
imperialistic policy of the admin-
istration Emperor William Mc-
Kinley is going to encounter a
powerful rocky road in his efforts
to reach the White House as a
. "twotime winner."
The Hanna-Dick-Payne com-
bination have placed their de-
mand for campaign purposes at
$30,000,000, and claim that this
fund will be forthcoming at the
proper time as a "free will offer-
ing*' from the tariff*created trusts
and combines, which may be
construed as meaning that the
Republican campaign is to be one
of boodle, and not of principle or
education.
Medical advice can only be given by a
medical man or woman; one educated
sad trained in the profession of medicine.

are trained and qualified medical practi-

WOMANS MEDICAL ADVISER
INSTRUCT DELEGATES.
In view of the fact that in 1896
two classes of voters left the demo
cratic party and contributed their
might to the election of McKinley
and the fastening on the country
of the attendant evils of imperial-
ism, militarism and monopoly,
the Press Bulletin warns the or-
ganized Democracy of the coun-
try of the importance and neces-
sity of sending instructed dele-
gates to the national convention
in July.
The reason assigned by these
voters for their ill-advised action
was the same in both cases—
namely, disapproval of the doc-
trine of free silver—but in point
of fact they were actuated, un-
knowingly in some degree, by
very diverse motives.
There were men whose habits*
of mind, sympathies and convic-
tions were distinctly democratic,
but who through a lack of infor-
mation on the subject, or because
of a mistaken notion of their self-
interest, or because of the subtle
influence of their environment,
could see in the silver issue only
a menacing attack on the finan-
cial and commercial interests of
the people. These men applauded
the Chicago platform for much
that it proclaimed, but felt that
the money issue overshadowed
all else, and that on the money
ia'-me the democracy was wrong.
We may deplore their error, but
we must concede to them honesty
in holding it. If now they feel-
as many of them do—that the
money issue is not the chief sub
ject matter of the coming cam
paign, and that on all other ques
tions they wish to fight side by
side with the democracy, it is the
part of wisdom and of justice to
open the party ranks for their
return.
But there ia another element
among the seceders of 1896 to
ward whom the duty of the party
is not so clear. These men based
their desertion upon the money
issue alone, but in fact were bit-
tarly hostile to every plank in the
platform. They were tax-dodg-
ing millionaires offended by the
income tax plank; monopolists
affrighted by its declaration
against monopoly; corporations
relying on the United States jiu*
preme court for the protection of
their "vested rights;" hard mas-
ters of labor wedded to govern-
ment by injunction and the like.
It was not silver that made them
turn viciously and venomously
upon the democratic party—it
was that party's frank alignment
with the masses in defense of the
people's rights.
Now men of this class are man-
ifesting a desire to rejoin the
party, but unlike those of the
first class they are not returning
in a Bpirit and acceptance of the
party creed. They wish to come
back in command and have the
creed and candidates of the party
determined at their bidding—at
the behest of men who betrayed
the party four years ago. Like
Hon. Perry Belmont, they prom-
ise the party their aid and a cer-
tain victory—but only on condi-
tion of the complete abandon-
ment of the principles and the
leaders of 1896. Party perfidy is
the price of their support.
Men of this second class have
no place in the party councils.
The trust magnate, the monopo-
list, the oppressor of labor, the
franchise grabber, the imperial-
ist are out of place in the democ-
racy. Their influence in the con-
vention will be all for evil, and
the party will suffer in so far as
it is guided by them. But few of
them are as frank as Mr. Bel-
mont. More are seeking to be-
oome delegates, or select dele-
gates, with specious promises to
abide by the will of the party.
The test to apply to such doubt-
ful allies is to demand that they
accept instructions to support the
Chicago platform and to select
only candidates loyal to it in 1896
and loj al now. Antagonism to
this course is in itself suspicious.
Loyal democrats will support and
applaud such instructions."
From the district to the state,
from the state to the national
convention, all delegates should
be instructed. In that way only
lies safety from the machinations
of plutocracy.
The democrats of the country
are again getting together and
the prospects now are that they
will present a solid and united
working force during the ap-
proaching presidential campaign,
which foreshadows the success of
the demorcratio nominees.
The satisfactory solution of the;
paper problem is a question that,
is now taxing the brains of the;
newspaper publishers through-1
out the length and breadth
of this great country. As
matters now stand the output
of the mills is in the hands of one
of the most powerful trusts ever
formulated, who have, without
just cause, increased the price of
print paper to double its former
value, which is working a hard-
ship on the publishers, as well as
levying an unjust, indirect tax
upon the educational interests of
the country. How long the leg-
islative department of the gov-
ernment will permit this monopo-
ly tn grow and flourish at the ex-
pense of educational interests of
the commonwealth remains to be
seen.
