The Mckinley Heresy.

McKinleyism is making its last
stand in Ohio this year. The author
of the tariff that gave Cleveland his
half million majority has been renom-
mated for governor and a platform
has been adopted that rcaffirns every
economic heresy repudiated by the
people in four successive elections.
Ohio is usually Republican state,
but if anybody can give it to the Dem
ocrats it is Mckinley. The Democ-
racy barely missed carrying it last
year, and Cleveland did secure one
electoral vote. A fair and square
campaign on the tariff question ought
to put the state in line with Indiana
Illinois and Wisconsin as part of the
new west.-San Francisco Examiner

Capt. Wells and ldahO's Exhibit.

Commissioner, with the small means

ing today a wonderful work for Idaho.
His exhibition at Chicago is praised
BY everyone who sees it. A few news
papers of the state have been inclined
to ridicule some of the pleasant things
said about him and his exhibit, and
have gone farther and intimated that
they were sent out from the Captains
Office by correspondents enlisted in
his behalf for his future political pre-
ferment and promotion. This is I'M
kind and unjust to say the least of it.

interview parties who have returned
from the Fair, some of them from
Idaho and Others from other States,
and finds that all agree in the state.

Capt Wells is possessed of no littlt

alton of this absurd law the reserve
has been gradually sinking, in spite OF
efforts to keep it at the normal figure,
and, judging from the Treasury sta
tistics just referred to, we are within
a measurable distance of the entire
disappearance of the reserve unless
the act be repealed. Indeed, if the
act be kept in force long enough we
may witness the spectacle of the adj
ministration being forced to resort to
an increase of the national debt in
order to procure gold to pay fora com
modify which, as Secretary Carlisle
says, can neither be sold nor used for
the payment of any obligation. The
operation of the law has resulted in q
sapping of public confidence, of which
some of the results have already been
seen, though perhaps the full harvest
of the evils sown by the law has mol
yet been gathered. The one impera
tive duty of the time is the repeal Of
the silver-purchase law of 1890. 1t:

tinuing menace to the prosperity Of

Bradsireets on Silver Purchase,

action in relation to the silver-pur-
chase law of 1890. That measure was
in its inception compromise and a
makeshift. 1t has been almost from
the first conspicuous failure in prac-
tice as an influence in holding up the
price Of silver. 1t now constitutes the
most serious single menace, not
merely to the prosperity of the country,
but even to its financial security. All
students of finance have been aware
that it has been steadily displacing
the Treasury holdings OF gold with I'M

Washington. Dec. 14.-[Special. J.
Mr.. Rawlins received last night and
today many kilograms from Salt Lake
and other portions Of the territory con-
graduating him on getting through
the House SO promptly, and by such
an overwhelming vote, the Utah state

Mr. Rawlins spent a large portion OF

ring with leading senators relative to
the taking up Of the measure in that
body at an early day. His purpose is
TO get, if possible, action before the

through it viii be still further

Senator Faulkner, chairman of the

ed to The Herald correspondent today
that the success in passing the meas
ure through the House was simply un-
precedented, and he would do all in
his power to have it go through the
Senate speedily. So far as he was able
to learn, but very little opposition was
manifested in the Senate and the
manner in which representatives spoke

Seattle, Dec. IA. Feek, a Seattle
contractor just arrived from Honolulu.
is the bearer of an address TO the
people Of the United States from the
American League at Honolulu.
The address protests against Presi-
dent Clevelands assumption that the
provisional government should cease
to exist because he disapproves of the
proposed union with the United States.
It insists the present government
of Hawaii has the same right to exist
that the United States had after the
successful revolution of 1776.
The provisional government was es-
tablished, not by citizens of the United
States. but by people born and raised
on the islands or have resided there
many years and only organized for the
overthrow of the queen after all hope
for redress had ceased to exist.
The we'll EDOTn character Of those
at the head of affairs gives positive
assurance the government will be hon
estly administered and the rights of
the people protected. Should the pres
queen to the throne the league would
appeal to Congress and the people of
the United States to prevent so great
a crime against liberty and good gov
eminent.
If Hawaii Is not wanted in the great
sisterhood of states, we feel we have
the right to vigorously protest against
the establishment of a corrupt mon
archy.
