Facts.

While Major MCKINLEY and Governor
CAMPBELL are preparing to wage war around
the MCKINLEY bill, the Department OF Labor
at the instance OF the Senate Committee on
Finance. is collecting statistics as to the
effect OF that bill upon prices and wages.
The report which will be laid before tho next
Congress will furnish that body and the
rest OF the country with the facts now
unknown, as to the actual working and
results OF the MCKINLEY bill. Until that
report is made. discussion Of the McK1N1Ex
bill will be nothing but guessing. Neither
defence nor opposition will stand upon the
solid ground OF fact.
For this reason, and for other good
reasons, the Ohio Democrats will find It to
their advantage to abandon q fruitless but
dangerous discussion OF theories, and keep
before voters the Billion and the Force bill.
Tho facts about these are known. and they
are very unpleasant facts for tho Republi-
cans. who arc anxious to have them covered
up BY the dust Of tariff discussion.

Senator Harris and tho New York
Times.

Tho Appeal-Aralanche OF Memphis prints
an interview with the Hon. IsHAM G. HAIR
RB which We commend to the attention OF
the New York Times. The Tennessee Sena-
tor accuses our Mugwump neighbor Of mis-
representing his opinions by means Of O
very scurvy and dlshonorable trick.
According to Senator HARRIS. o corre-
spondent Of the Tines went to him recently
and asked for his opinion of Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND as q Presidential possibility. Mr..
HARRIS granted the interview that was
sought, and proceeded to describe Mr..
CbEvELANDa as ian able and strong man and
q sound Democrat In everything except his
opposition to the free coinage Of silver"
That, he said, had aroused an opposition to
Mr.. CLEVELAND among the leaders OF the
party. But for his position on the silver
question, continued the Senator. he would
be nominated as the candidate Of the Democ-
racy by reclamation. But inasmuch as Mr..
CLEVELAND was against free coinage, Sem
ator HARRIS expressed himself as sQuarely
opposed to Mr.. C1EvE1AND's nomination.
When the report OF the interview reached
the Times ofaoe. that newspaper published
al OF Senator HARRIs's complimentary re-
marks about Me-. CLEVELAND, but omitted
to print the final and only important part,
namely, the Senator's announcement that
much Is he admired the fat man in a gen.
ersl way no did not support him for nominal
ton BY the Democracy.
OF course this was contemplate behavior
on the part Of the Nep York Times; but 1t is
thoroughly characteristic OF that Mugwump
newspaper. II Senator HARRIS understood
tho methods OF the Mugwump organ as we'll
as New York Democrats understand them,
he would DO neither greatly surprised nor

Should a Catholic be Nominated for
PRESIDENT

The subioined interesting communication
comes to us from Saratoga Springs:
"sia, Your admirable answer to Me- A. orrrSnrinpn
regarding tho Cathoiicy of Senator GonNAs and its
bearing upon hh Presidential prospsets plainly shows
What you think public opinion ought to be- 1shond like
ysrr spswsr to two othsr questions:
II. u Senator GonaAS is practical Catholic. would
net that deter any party from nominating him
10 Presidential candidae'
at Itnominated, would not his religion de,oat him
bsfors the people!
"As a Catholic and student Of American history I
incline toward An Affirmative answer TO both queries
but wond like 10 havo your Sus light upon them as
tsrsai,y admire senate. GonNAS, and hope to him
exalted. Yours with respect.
"oEaiEx J. ArxiSsoS."
There is no doubt that very strong p-eju-
dice against tho Catholic Church, and against
persons adherirg to It, has existed in this
country, especially among people Of the SO.
called evangelical religious commuuions.
but that feeling has very greatly diminished:
indeed. We suppose that for the most part it
has disappeared. At any rate, We should be
very willing to see tho question put
to tho Issue, II. It should happen
TO DO necessary; and the only thing
that could mako It necessary would
be the fact OF some Catholic statesman APP
pesrlng 80 superior and In every respect 80
perfectly qualified that his nomination for
President Of the United States would be
almost = matter Of course.
IN such IN event he would be nominated
as statesman and party man, not as
Catholic; and We do not think that tho re-
ligion Of the candidate would do him such
harm in q political sense rs to render his
nomination unadvisable for fear Of his being
defeated on religious grounds In the election.
