per cent, over the largest registration

the election next month. New York city's
total vote would be in the neighborhood

authorities In the locality of the resl

refer particularly to the reaoiiitlon*
(Massed hy the Southsldc Administration

There Is need for improvements In (he
southern section of Ihe city, ami If there

and that will use the public money
for paving streets, putting down water

fire department rather than cresting new
’ft! -es to make places for political friends
and helpers.
The true mission of political dub* In
cities should lie to nee that there Is econ

and that a* largo a part of the revenues
as possible Is put into public Improve

welfare rather than that of political favor

political clubs will make this their work
we shall see Improvement* not only In

KENTUCKY MAI CAt'HO TROUBLE.
Kentucky has enacted an el.vaion law
to take the place of the Goebel law. but
M ta not to go Into effect until after the
presidential election. It la unfortunate
that thr law was not enacted soon enough
for the approaching election to he held
under 11. Several months ago we pointed
out that the presidential election might
ta- sat dose that the result would depend
on the election In Kentucky. And If that
should bo the case, ami that slate should
give Mr. liryan u small majority, ll la
almost certain that the Republicans would
dispute the result ami carry the election
Into CongrertX They would Insist that the
election In Kentucky was not a lair one—
that It hail been carried by the Democrats
by unfair means.
The chances are of course that Mr. Bry
an will carry Kentucky by such a ma
jority that there will be mi grounds for
disputing hi* right to Its electoral voir,
but, assuming that he will carry the state,
his majority may be small. The feeling
between the parties there t* extremely
bitter, and the Repuhltcant. as well as
the Democrats, are going to makn extra
ordinary efforts to elcig their ticket.
Th Democrats have practically admit
ted that Ihe law Is an unfair one by re
pealing It. To that extent they have fur
nished the Hepuhlt.hmi with an argument
tn the event that the right to the state's
electoral vote should lie contested. And
It looks as If the Kentucky quarrel would
get Into national politics even If there
should be no dispute over the electoral
vote. There Is almost certain to be con
tests between candidates for Congress
Home of the districts are pretty evenly
divided between the Democratic and Re
publican parties. If there Is a chance
for u contest a defeated candidate for Con
gress Is pretty certain to take It. Anel
the KepuhlMin* would court a contest
of that kind lit order to get a chance to
attack the Goebel law If for no other nel
son. It Is to be regretted for more rea
sons than ono that the new law ikies not
go Into effect until after the presidential
election.
The New York Sun's ullack upon Gen
Hubert K Mr, In connection with hi*
name having l>**cn voted Into the Hall of

Parker, the Chairman of Ihe National
1 Committee of that party was given a
| chance yesterday lo sjjTihrough Hit newt*
papers of Ih* country that "this me mor
al)!* campaign Is drawing to a close," Ju*t
why Mr Parker should refer to Ihe cam
paign as "memorable" Is one of ihe things
that Is not easy lo understand. It would be
appropriate for Senator Jones, Chairman
of the Democrat)- National Committee or
Senator Hanna. Chairman of the Hepubll
can National Committee, to call It "m<m

have been pilled against each other—have

In ih* con lest Practically nothing hs

What sci nia lo trouble Mr Park’r at

to know. I* that four year* ago ”;h- greft
principles of Populism were prostituted
that the greed of political pirate* night

seems lo ttnd satisfaction, however. In the
assertion that the Middle-of-l ho-Road r
ganlxailon "la again In the hands of fruc
Populists who will never surrender It to
either of the old parllee."
From the present oul'ook there will !■•

within another year or two there wbl le
nothing of It to surrender. The fact that
Mr Parker, In the greater part of hi* ad

instead of dealing with present condition*.
Is ample proof that the branch ol ;he
Populist party which he represents tin

seems to think ll* corpae Is worth srvlng.

EVIL.
In answer to questlona by the New lurk
Herald. Mr Bryan named the legal rem
adles he would recommend for smashing
the trusta. They are as follow#:
"First -Enforce the demand in the Dem
ocratic platform for legislation which will
place trust-made articles on the free
list.
"Second— Provide by law that before
any corporation organised In any stat*
shall iki business outside ol that state. It
shall he granted a license by Ihe Federal
rov‘rnment.
"Thlr4-Provlil# that the lcen** of <
corporation doing Interstate business ho
forfeited the moment the corporation at
tempt.* to monopolise any branch of bus
iness.”
In connection with Mr. Bryan’s answer
the Herald published Interviews with a
number of well known lawyers to the ef
fect that the proposed remedies wouki
no# accomplish the object aimed at
Home of them raised one collection and
some of them another. The most seri
ous objection was to the second remedy,
for the reason that It would lake from
the stales rights which they have-that
It would lend strongly toward# the Re
publican doctrine of centrsllxatlon. Hut
the fact must not he overlooked that ob
jections would be raised to any remedy
that might be proposed.
The difference between Mr. Bryan’e po
sition In respect lo trusts and that of Mr.
McKinley Is that the former has a plan
for dealing wHh them and that Ihe loiter
has none. Mr. Bryan shows that he Is
In earnest, whtle there Is no evklence
that Mr. McKinley proposes to do any
thing to protect the people against trusts.
In fact, Mr. Hanna, who le the spokes
man for Mr McKinley, soya there are no
trusts—that Is. such trusts as the govern
ment Is called upon to destroy. If Mr.
Bryan should he elected there would be
an earnest effort to get rid of the trust
evil, while If Mr. McKinley should lie
given another term trusta would have
everything their own way. just as they
have now. It la openly charged that the
reaaon the Republican party does not
take a more deckled stand against trusts
Is that It In drawing heavily upon them
for money with which to conduct its cam
paign. If this rnarge ta well foun<led the
country wouki lie more trust-ridden dur
ing the next four years. If the Repub
lican party should be successful, than it
Is now.
