Hint for Mckinley In Studying the Con.
stitution.
! From the ST. Louis Republic.
] AS MIR. Mckinley claims to he a good
| lawyer, we'll read in the constitution.
| he ought to think the matter over and
tell the public whether it would not be
just and lawful to deny public pro-
lection to every industry that has or
gained itself as q trust or monopoly.
Surely the people ought not be forced
| to protect public robbers.
More Noise than Progress Making by tho
Third Party.
From the Richmond State.
The Third party may make great
| deal of noise in certain Southern
States, but before election day those
who have been Democrats will find
| that they cannot afford to be tho allies
| in the South. In tho meantime every
Democrat must go to work to mako
doubly sure the Democratic victory.
Governor Flower Has Backbone and
Isn't Afraid of Powder
From the Kansas City MOI Star
Governor Flower, of New York, shines
forth Respondent in contrast with Gov
ernor Buchanan, of Tennessee, in his
course in regard to mob law. Political
time serving is not to DO commended in
times OF lawlessness and the New York
chief magistrates Endorsement Of the
ordering out OF troops to preserve the
peace will add to his popularity in the
end.
'elvety Rebuke to Congressional Ex-
travagance.
From the Chicago ull) Times
Great preparations ar5 making for TIE
protection Of Washington against for
eign foe. There is to be q ponderous
fort, furnished with thirty.ton guns
mounted on disappearing carriages. The
Potomac will be filled with torpedoes.
lest hostile men of-war ascend IL and
loot the national treasury. Meanwhile
that repository Of the peoples money
Will remain-as ever-freely open to the
assaults OF any army or navy crank who
desires to despoil it to furnish machin.
cry for war that will never come.
Serious Imputations Upon the Governor
of Tennessee.
From the Charleston Is. Co News and Courier.
Governor buchanan, unfortunately for
Tennessee, is not made Of such stuff Az
Governor Pattison, Of Pennsylvania, to
begin with, and besides, as stated two
days ago, he has announced himself as
an independent candidate for Governor
after failing to obtain the Democratic
nomination. The unavoidable inference
is that he so long delayed taking the
stern fmeasures against the Tracev
City and Inman rioters which their riot
GUS conduct demanded, for fear of losing
votes in that part OF the State, and his
cowardice ought to cost him the loss OF
support in any and every part of the
State.
Tariff Booming for Vote Getting Only.
From the Detroit (Mich.) Free Press.
When the protec ton organs declare
that the Mckinley tariff has not ad-
vanced prices they wish to be distinctly
that it has advanced them
for all producers and manufacturers who |
have been voting the Republican ticket
in the belief that the policy of the party
would enable them to get Better pricea
for their products and wares. 1t is for
this reason that the same organs which |
tell the farmer that the imposition OF a |
duty on what he buys has really lowered |
the price and was intended to do so has |
raised the price of what he produces and
was put on for that purpose. 1t is q
great thing, this tariff, and greatest of
all in its double endedness, so to speak.
