The salaries for municipal employees for
June amounted to SIS, 5000. Multiplied by
twelve, this would make the total for the
year $4,000. Three months ago the City
Comptroller warned the Council that there
was only $4,000 available this year for
salaries. Yet the Aldermen are indignant
because they are urged to lessen the $780,
600 deficiency.

the Republican party, with small and
unfairly gained majority in Congress,
has forced obnoxious class legislation
upon the country, and the specific com
plants that the Mckinley bill
has not brought market for
barrel of pork or bushel
of wheat, and that 1t has decreased the
price Of wool and increased the prices Of
many necessaries OF life The people
are dissatisfied with the Republican
party because, having promised relief
from 'hard, times, 1t has actually
brought worse times.
In this predicament the Republican
party has re-attached Forskerism, re
announced McKinleyism and put up Nc
Kinley himself not because they are
acceptable to the people but because
thereby they hope to raise contributions
from the tariff benefcisries-to fry out
the fat-and to enlist the political
workers in the hope Of using them as
agents TO buy the voters and to dis
tribute the fat.
The Republicans could not do otherwise
than nominate Mckinley because they
have no other issue TO offer the people
Of Ohio than to ratify the Mckinley
bill
In doing this they risk the dissatisfac-
tlon Of the people on the policy Of the
party which has brought about extrava-
gsnce and class legislation The dissatis
faction OF the leaders Of the Republican
party, Blaine, Sherman, Harrison, Quay
snd others, because 1t gives too much
prominence to Mckinley and to Foraker.
If Mckinley wins with large majority
be will be "hurrah" and boom" candi-
date for the Presidency; II he wins by
any majority at all, be will be candi.
date Of more or less formidable proper
tions. and that Is not pleasing contem-
plation to the old fellows. especially to
Blaine and Harrison, who have borne the
heat and toll Of the day. They and their
friends will not rejoice TO see Mckinley
win in Ohio. and they may not do any
thing to help him; hence, as is indicated
by Quay's trip to Pittsburg, Mckinley
intends to rely ou bis personal popularity
and on the money Of the tariff benefciar-
les to pull him through, regardless of the
general and specific dissatisfactions.

he could not bear to submit, and he
dashed himself against the bars of his

Carlyle had both the eager and
proud temper Of a man, aud the fine

ia her shrank from that which the
man In her resolved on No mental con
stitution more happily adapted for self
torment could have been conceived.
There was a constant struggle IN her as
of fire with water, the fame Kissing
against the stream which extinguished
