as TO THE ISSUE

In these anti-campaign days, great
many people are discussing what will
be the issue in the next presidential
campaign and who will be the candi-
dates. Some are of the opinion that
the silver coinage question will be the
issue, while others are expecting the
tariff, and yet it is not probable that
either will enter into it very largely
The Democracy will endeavor to avoid
the tariff as much as possible for
several reasons, first because McKin-
leyism, the Republican position is
rapidly every day proving itself to be
so popular that the Democracy, unless
it is even more purblind than it usu-
ally is, will see the hand writing on
the wall. Besides, the result of the
Ohio election will make it so plain
that he who runs may read-especially
he who runs for president. Moreover,
the leaders of the party are already
divided upon the undertaking Cleve-
land and Gorham for instances, the
first a free-trader, the latter opposed
to free-trade.
AS to silver, that is question
that so far from dividing the parties
would be more apt to consolidate them
in the two sections Of East and West
The West favors free silver almost to
"A man in both parties. The opposi-
tion TO free silver is in the East, and
even there large element favors it.;
so large an element that with the
unanimous friendlness to it in the
West, it controls the balance OF power.
So that on this proposition, for obvi-
Gus reasons, an issue cannot be ar
rived at.
The Republican party will go before
the country with its record on the
tariff and stand by 1t. IL will advo-
cate all of its time-honored and ever
triumphant principles, the doctrines
and tenets that have best served the
country for the past three decades,
and which have crowned its veal and
dispeled its woe. The Democracy
will continue its hullaballo about
pensions, alleged corruption and
monopolstic monstrosties, and
will mostly suffer from the
cranks who will be doing their
all around. These
guerillas of politics are always re-
crnited from the disgruntled elements,
and are therefore recruited mostly
from the Democratic ranks, because
The Democrats, being the "outs,' have

Emperor William is an Independent
sort of a monarch who will not be con-
trolled by programs. He went to hear
very humble preacher rather than
the great Canon who had stuffed
for the occasion, and this is little
strange, as he seems to have par
TALLY for big guns and other war
like arrangements. But after all,
while William is mighty monarch,
and assumes to control everything in
reach, he doesn't control his own
tongue as well as he should at times.
The chances are, however, that all the
advice we might give him on that
subject, would fall UNDECIDED, so that
trouble is saved and he can just go on
with his rattllng, so long as he is on
the other side of the big water.

For instance, the journal is set by five
men. 1t is a large daily and one which

to thirty printers. The machines for type
setting are operated somewhat on the
principle of a type-wrtng machine, by a
key board, and the impressions of the let
tiers are made in matrices and the lines
moulded, thus no separate types are used
Mr.. Barnes is very young man TO hold
so important a situation as he does, being
