EX-SECRETARY CHARLES FOSTER
certainly exhibited "gall" when he
wrote to Secretary Carlisle requesting
him to overlook "little indiscretion"
in the shape of his having assigned a
U. 8. Treasury agent to work at the
New York Republican headquarters,
during the Presidential campaign,
while drawing government salary.
If Mr.. Foster calls getting money from
the government under false pretenses
to a"little indiscretionn it would be in
teresting to know what he would call
an old-fashion highway-robbery or
burglary.

Nor in the. history Of politics in this
or any, other country have there been
leaders in political party who pos
sessed the insufferable gall such as do
the leaders of the republican party OF
this day. By venal, vicious, and special
legislation, kept up year after year for
more than twenty-five years, the re-
publican party has brought the coun-
try into the condition of panic By
class legislation; by wasteful expendi-
lures; by corrupt, use Of public moneys;
by the bastardizing of silver; by the
perversion of the benefits of govern
ment; by the prostitution of power,
the republican party has impov-
erished the 4 people,. debased labor,
banished trade and destroyed mar
kets. And now, when all the peo-
pie are groaning under the weari-
some load, and distrust has dried
up the sources of prosperity, the repub-
lican leaders, backed by the republican
press, have the unparalleled effrontry,
the insufferable gall, to charge the
calamitous situation to the acts-or
rather to the non-acts-of the demo-
cratic party. They declare that the
distress is brought about by the pros
pect that the tariff will be Lowered.
That the mere anticipation that the
terrible tax burdens which the people
have been compelled to bear will be
removed is the cause of the present dis
tress. Was there ever such an exhibi-
ton of unadulterated gall?
Let us turn from the republican
leaders and the republican press, and
ask Of suffering commercial life the
cause. Every chamber or commerce,
every board of trade, every commercial
organization which has given express
sion as to the cause of the present dis
tress, has assigned but one reason for
it. and have charged it to the
forced brokerage of silver under the
Sherman'act Not single commercial
organization has even limited that the
proposed reduction OF the tariff has had
the slightest influence in bringing
about the present deplorable situa-
tion. Having looted the country
and destroyed all its material
interests, the republican leaders and
republican press endeavor to shelter
themselves behind cowardly lie. Its
orators in congress, its metropolitan
and local press, with unblushine
shame, assert that ghost is the au
thor Of the present financial distress
It Is q gross and objectionable falsifi
cation. What do the republican ora
tors and press know as to the intents
of the democrats2 Where do they gel
authority for saying that the dem
ocracy is about to inaugurate Sire,
trader" They know that they arr
uttering falsehood. The democracy
favor tariff for revenue. That issu,

LAST year was cast the largest vote

actual number of votes in the state
was fully 100000, but owing to errors
made by voters under the Australian
ballot and to electors sick, away from

ed from voting. the aggregate cast
amounted to less.

THERE Is nothing admirable in the
following extract, to the Mckinley law
advocates Gov. Mckinley might be
able TO entertain his friends at one of
his meetings by reading it, and then
giving his views as to the solvency of
the uttersnce. Mr.. Thomas Dolan,
president of the Manufacturers club, of
Philadelphia, in speaking of the hard
times, says: r
II believe that the depression is al
most wholly due to the silver policy
If the alarm was due to the victory of
the democrats, why was 1t not mani
tested last November? The people
knew then as well as they know now
that It was within the power of the
new administration to repeal the tariff
laws, yet no uneasiness was felt
1t appears to me that it is
entirely wrong for the republicans to
keep harping away upon the same
old campaign tactics. The demo-
Gratis have fully three years in winch
to right matters, and II the republicans
insist that the present depression
is due to fear regarding the tariff,
when business becomes brighter the
democrats will claim all of the
credit and assert that better times
are due to whatever changes In the
tariff laws they may have enacted.
This country is just as rich as it was
six months ago. The harvests are
bountitul, the needs of consumers are
just as great, and as soon as congress
enacts the proper laws / look for COM
plete restoration of confidence which
will cause the tide Of prosperity again
to sweep over the land"

IT is to be regretted that the subject
which is the occasion Of the facetious-
ness of the republican leaders, and
much of their press, is not humorous
and grotesque in its nature, instead of
sad and deplorable. When the dis
tresses of the people are made the OBJ
ject for malignant taunts it evidences
depraved condition of political morals
Benjamin Harrison, recently president
of the United States, is credited with
remarking. in speaking of the present
suffering of the people: "Well, they
wanted a change and now they have
got it." He would indicate by these
words that If he had been reelected
the present conditions would not exist.
We're we to reply to this assumption in
language which its arrogance war
rants, we would be more justly entitled
to public approval than is the ex-presi-
dent for indulging in the bitter taunt.
It is not necessary to answer this self
adulating conceit in kind. We will be
approved. however, in saying that a
man-so honored by the people as has
been Mr.. Harrison, is guilty of unparal-
leled ingratitude, and unworthy Of any
honest mans respect, who thus sneers
at the misfortunes of his fellow men,
ana insults and violates truth. His
last congratulatory message to oon-
gress had scarcely ceased ringing in
the ears of the people when he realized
that the entire fabric of his utterances
was composed of spiders web The
thin vaneering was ripped from his
pictured prosperity, and the real con-
dition forced itself to the view of the
people. The winnings of his ill-starred
secretary of the treasury called public
attention to the fact that the treasury
was looted, and the administration was
lashed by surf that was thrown from
the financial breakers. Mr. -Harri-
son became paralyzed when the
truth thrust itself into his face.
No effort was made to turn
the ship of state into the deep waters
Of safety. He had but one thought
and that was "How can keep her off
the rocks until the new captain takes
commando" She was springing leak
at every point, and the storm was tear
ing the shrouds from every pole. He
succeeded in reaching the 4th of March,
when he handed the helm to Grover
Cleveland. It was too late then tc
avoid the storm. There was but one
thing to do-brave 1t, outride 1t, turn
the Prov to the deep sea waters, com.
mand and be obeyed, reach the ocean
paths familiar to the constitution, fur
canvass and run under bare poles until
public confidence is restored. AND
there the old ship Is to-day. Gradually
the canvass is being unfurled and pub
lie trust is filing the sheets. The
storm is passed and the turbulent
financial waves are quieting down. II
brief time every sail will be flung tt
the breeze, and the grand old ship
laden with the hopes OF mankind, wiz
be sailing on the crest Of the waves.

Variety the spice ofIifs.

There is nothing benefits mankind so
much as change, even If its only a
change of linen. But what we mean
to convey is that too much Of any one
thing becomes monotonous. The clerk,
tied for hours at his desks, seeks relaxa-
ton on his flying wheel; the police
man, on his feet four hours (?), finds
relaxation in an easy chair by his, or
any other friends fireside;a man badg-
cred by shrew of a wife seeks relax
alton by tilting can over his head,
and as the beer disappears, he gazes
with consolation at his reflected coun-
tenance at the bottom OF the growler.
Even at the theatre how many plays
are monotonous when all on the one
theme; how a bit of sentiment Is re-
lieved by healthy laugh, a merry
dance or comic song. And II variety
is the spice oflife,n it reaches perfection
in the great comedy, .'She Couldn'i
Marry Three.n

We have gone to Australia for our
ballotting law, why not go to China
for our banking law? There has not
been bank failure in China for five
hundred years, There is only one lit
tie law for banks in China, and 1t is
quite simple, too. The China law
proves that If a bank fails and cannot
pay its depositors within certain
time, the banker shall have his head
cut off. These simple laws are beau
tiful because Of their brevity and eff
fectiveness.
