A STORY was told two or three days
ago to the effect that Governor William
Tariff Mckinley had found that he held
an assignment of a 100000 tontine life
insurance policy taken out by Neighbor
Walker so that when the policy should
fall in ne would get the money back
that he lost by his dear friends failure.
A more truthful later statement is to
the effect that the life insurance policy
is for but $1,000, and that it is not as
signed to Governor Mckinley. 1t ap-
pears that the Mckinley life insurance
story is subject to about the same rate
of discount that applies to the McKin-
ley tin plate stories.-Chicago Herald.

A RECORD OF WRECKAGE.
From the Philadelphia Times.


LOOK at the heritage Cleveland left
to Harrison. A surplus of $65 100000
in the Treasury; abank-note-redem
tion trust fund of $50, 100000 more than
has teen converted into the Treasury,
making an aggregate Treasury, surplus
of Sl2O,OOO,00O; the gold reserve at its
highest standard; American securities
in demand in every money centre of
Europe and public credit second to none
in the world
Such was the Cleveland financial leg
acy to Harrison four years ago; what
will be the Harrison legacy to Cleve-
land on the 4th of March? The $780,
100000 surplus gone; the Treasury CON-
PEELED to falsify its statements by such
unavailable assets as subsidiary coin
and disbursing officers deposits, and to
withhold appropriations from public
buildings, &c, to make the Government
appear solvent; American securities
forced back upon our markets, because
of impaired credit, to drain us of gold:
the gold reserve lower than it has been
at any time since the close of the war;
taxes on many of the necessaries of life
Increased; the legitimate commerce,
industry and trade of the nation halted
by the cowardly shuffliAg that attempts
to conceal the truth; and the Admins
tration that is about to retire seems
only to say: "After me the deluge!"

AFTER looking over the variegated
assortment of Republican leaders west
of the Allegheny mountains, including
Alger, Allison, Rusk and Harrison, we
can see no one larger than ex-senator
ingalls, of Kansas. He is a man of
ideas, and is an acute observer of the
popular waves Of opinion. He sees
that McKinleyism will lead the party
from bad to worse, and hence he pro-
claims new departure before it Is
everlastingly too late. In recent in
terview he hints at the new departure
in the following language:
"It may be that we have progressed
far enough In the mechanic arts and in
other directions to be ready to discard
that policy. / do not know; am ready
10 learn. There are some things about
the Mckinley bill that ! do not ap-
prove. The people, as a whole, seem TO
be very much displeased with IL. Let
us have something different"

THE WAL LKER FAILURE.
What Kind Of q Report is Printed in Gin
oinpati-Can This be TrueP
lain Dealer Special

Plain Dealer Special.
CINCiNNATI, Feb. 27.-The belief that
Gov. McKinley's losses through the
Walker failure were not due altogether to
friendship has been current here ever
since the story came out. 1t was MAIN
tanned in certain quarters that the Gov
eTnor was not only an indorser but that
he was the actual maker of at least part
of the notes. This belief was given a
flrmer foundation by the publication OF q
story in an evening paper that the Govs
eTnor had for years b sen a business assoN
ciate Of Walker and that the disastrous
result Of n coal deal in McConnellsville,
Pc, in which both were Interested precip
itated the crash. It Is stated that instead
of owing as stated S11S, 900 Gov. Mckinley
no less than 500, 900, though
this is denied by attorneys for
Walker. The article goes on to say that
the Governor has been speculatinR and
and has lost; that is the substance of the
whole story. A dispatch received from
Youngstown gives further confirm atory
evidence. 1t is as follows:
There is q peculiarity about the morris
gage given by Walker over certain prop
erty to Gov. Mckinley aud Thomas Guy.
The mortgage is general in term and was
given to in icmnify William. Mckinley, jr.,
and Thomas Guy against loss or damsge
that they may sustain by reason of having
signed notes of Robert L. Walker, "some
of which notes appear to be the notes of
VIM. Mckinley, jr,, and Thomas Guy but
all OF which are in fact the notes of II. l..
Walker In other words the notes are
written as though Gov, Mckinley was the
principal.
The notes range in value from
81 900 to 1900. Mr.. Walker insists that
the governor was not interested in any Of
his business ventures.

alton that free traders were alot of un-

alton that free traders were alot of un-
practical theorists, college professors
closet students and men out of touch
with the practical affairs of this work
a-day world. They had been told that
the protectionists were the men of af-
fairs; that college students became pro.
tectionists as soon as they became men
of affairs; that as soon as men came to
be actively concerned in the practical
matters Of this life they cast aside free
trade theories, if they had any business
sense, while only the yisionaries con-
tinued to be free traders. One would
expect to find thoroughly practical
business man at the head of the prac-
tical business party of protection. In
fact, we find that the idolized leader of
the grand army of protection is so un-
practical as to be the victim of avulgar
swindler.

THE seventy sheet iron and sheet
steel mills of the country turn out
some 10000 tons of products yearly.
The enforced advance in the price of
tin plate, competing article incident
to the Mckinley increase of duty, en-
ables these concerns to maintain price
from one cent to one and one fourth
cents higher on their output than they
could otherwise. This means net ad-
dition to their profits yearly of over
$4,OO0OOO. These are the fellows to
chip in now and help Mr.. Walker of the
Youngstown tin mill, and the author
of the Mckinley tin plate tariff. out of
their financial troubles. They will do it
If they have half pint of the milk of
human kindness in their respective
corporosities.

IN connection with the proposed an
nexation of the Sandwich Islands,
Congressman Bourke Cochran has been
looking up the precedents. He finds
that in the Louisiana case President
Jefferson first obtained the required
"S2,0Q0,0OO appropriation from both
Houses of Congress, and that the ac-
QUESTION was finally confirmed by the
concurrent appropriation of the addi-
tional amount needed" Mr., Cochran
also main taips that the question of an

nate in the House of Representatives

GENERAL GREEN'S SWORD.
A Relic of Revolution Days Found
the Bottom Of the Nimishillen.

A Relic of Revolution Days Found at
the Bottom of the Nimishillen.
W. S. Carnes on Monday brought to
this office an interesting relic in the shape
of sword, minus the sheath portion
which was found in the mud in the bottom
of the Nimishillen. Several mouths ago
while Frank Dine OF Sparta was navigat-
ing on the waters of the creek, a short
distance above that village, he noticed q
peculiar looking stick with knob on the
end, sticking up in the mud in the bottom
of the creek bed, He reached down and
pulled the thing up, and was surprised TO
find three cornered cane sword about
thirty inches long, II was badly rusted,
owing to having been in the water long
time, but he carried il home, and some
days ago sold IL to Morris Pierson for ten
cents. Pierson cleaned of the rust as
well as possible, and upon the side of the
blade near the handle, was found i'm
Ecribed on the hard steel the words,
"GenerAl Green" The weapon is one still
capable of execution, but Il 10 evidently
very old. Whether il ever belonged to
General Green of Revolutionary fame,
or whether it was some old settlers who
admired the 0terling patriot and named
the weapon In his honor, and how Ii came
to be in the bottom OF the Nimishillen, are
matters for conjecture.

SENATOR GAUAIER of the GAINESVILLE
Signal, who heard Gov. McKinley's
great speech in GAINESVILLE last fall on
Tariff and Finance, makes the follow
ing editorial observations:
mot only have his governmental
schemes fallen, but even his private
reputation as a fnancier has been ire
trieVably sblighted. The man who was
heralded over the world only one short
year ago as the peerless publicist, who
could make people wealthy by taxing
them, the man who knew it all, now
stands forth in the presence of the
world, stripped of all his imaginary and
fabulous qualities. The people now
behold his real ability as a financier,
and they are humiliated and sad"

IT is stated, on good authority, that
Mr.. Carlisle will issue bonds even if
the Sherman amendment is defeated in
the house, because the Sherman bond
bill amendment simply enlarges the
present power of a secretary of the
Treasury to issue bonds under the re-
demption act. Mr., Carlisle holds, as
does Mr.. Foster, that the redemption
act itself confers ample authority on
the secretary of the treasury to issue
bonds,
