DONE WITH EXTRAVAGANCE
b Little Tin Napoleon VIII Dispens

The Little Tin Napoleon VIII Dispense
with inaugural Tlnsel.
Gov. Mckinley does well to dispense
with all pomp and ceremony on the
occasion of his second Inauguration.
with the present suffering and
starvation" he says, 1T would be
criminal to spend a large sun Of money
in inaugural demonstrations" His
plan, 1t is said, Is ito walk into the
senate, take the oath of office and re-.
turn to his old quarters"
This is a very proper performance on
the part of Mckinley, and shows more
humility than we should have expected
Of him.
Before McKinleyism, Harrisonism
and Reedism got in their destructive
work there was no starvation in the
country. When Campbell was inaug.
urated governor of Ohio in 1889 it was
amid general rejoicing. "Pomp and
ceremony" were the natural expression
Of the popular feeling.
-Four years of democratic administra.
ton at Washington had placed the
treasury in an enviable condition.
There was an available surplus of over
$50, 0e0, 900. The annual revenues were
nearly 500, DOC, 600 in excess of the
governments needs. There had been
accumulated sos, 600, 900 of gold above
the reserve Of 800, Oo0, 600. Business
was prosperous. Labor was well en-
ployed.
But the party Of Mckinley came into
power and ran riot for four years. A
compulsory silver purchase law was
passed in 1890, Nc Kinley voting for
and clarifying it. In the next year the
country lost sos, 900, 900 of gold to Eu-
rope, AT the end of MIR. Harrison's
term the treasury free gold had been
reduced to 1910, 600.
The tariff Of 1853, which was 20 per
cent. higher than Il republican tariff
commission had reported to be neces-
sary, was taken in hand by Mr.. Nc.
Kinley. The rate Of duty was raised
in every schedule save two. The bene-
iciaries of the tariff were permitted to
write their W selfshness into the law.
For the first time In the history of
civilized governments the policy was
adopted Of reducing revenues by raising
taxes.
The Reed-McKinley congress, by ex-
%travagant appropriations, converted q
surplus into a deficiency.
A crippled treasury produced amone.
tary panic the results of which are still
felt. Gov. Mckinley and Secretary
Foster were among the victims. The
change from four years ago Is indeed
momentous. Gov. Mckinley does well
to avoid pomp In his second Inaugural
ton, IN, Y, World.

at what had occurred that she not

The sight of old Joe turned Iady's

hack with his new acquaintance in it

face was a study, and no mistake.
"Met a friend?' said I, when at last
he walked up the platform and began
in a dazcd sort of way to look for his
luggage, "Iour cousin, perhaps""
Yes said Joe. Cousin on my
mothers side" But as he uttered the
lie saw him slip a lady's card into his
waistcoat pocket.
We parted at the station entrance,

THE PILGRIM MOTHERS.

Exotic blossoms. brought to grace
Old %Plymouth's rocky glen;
Proud mothers of a noble race
OF stern and stalwart men;
Strong was the trust with which sc hraved
The dangers of the sea,
And strong the unseen power that saved
The mothers of the free,
When swiftly DER the smiling deep
The fragile Mayfiower few,
While stars their solemn watch would keep
On wonder fields OF blue,
Full oft your forms, as slight and fair
AS any flower of spring,
We're meekly bowed in trusting prayer
To Heavens exalted King.
Cold was your greeting from the shore
That seemed in dreams so fair;
The wintry tempest's sullen roar
Sang We a welcome there;
Tho Indian peered above the hill,
With wonder in his eye;
The noisy sea birds answered shrill
The tempest-spirlt's cry.
Oh, Pilgrim Mothers, few the Tyre,
You praises TO prolong,
Though lame embalms the pilgrim sires
And trumpets them in song.
Yet We were TO those hearts OF oak
The secret OF their might,
Ye nerved the arm that hurled the stroke
In labor or in fight
The fire of freedom warmed each breast
Through many a weary day,
Where pillowed soft in dreamy rest
Our infant fathers lay.
Ye taught them, when their simple prayers
Were breathed beside your knee,
The lessons that in after years
We're bulwarks for the free.
Ye taught to spurn the t~yrant's claim,
And bow TO God alone;
Ye kindled in their breasts the fame
That trembled in your own,
In after years flowed purple gore,
And fields were strewed with dead
Firm hands the starry banner bore
Aggression trembling ned,
Oh, Pilgrim Mothers though We lilo
Perchance in graves unknown,
A memory that cannot die
Hath claimed We for It's own.

Your dust shall aye impart;

 SMACKS OF FRAUD. A Possible Attempt to Steal a
 Governor. The Old Scheme of Holding Back the Returns Being Practiced in
 Tennessee.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 27.-Chair- man Newell Saunders, of the Republi- can state executive committe, by advice of his attorney, made formal request and demand by letter upon Secretary of State Morgan yesterday for copy of the certified election returns as sent in by the sheriffs of the counties. Secre- tary Morgan declined to grant the re- quest, upon the ground that the returns are still incomplete in that the poll lists from all the counties have not yet reached the capital, and that in his opinion he would be improper to make the returns public until the poll lists have been received. MT. Morgan ex- pressed his willingness to furnish a copy of the returns or any other docu ment as soon as possible after the poll lists came in.
 MT. Saunders claims that Governor Turney, the defeated candidate for re- election, has access to information al- ready received and that his partisans are sending men over the state. and Mir. Evans, the successful Republican, wants to be placed upon the same basis
  of information.
 MT. Saunders said tonight that infor- nation received by the Repu blican committee was that MT. Evans plur- ality was from one to two thousand. He said that in some counties the off cers had refused to comply with the re- quest of Republicans to be allowed to see the returns, and also refused to make the returns public. MT. Saunders further said that the statement had been made by some of Governor Tur- ney's friends that MT. Evans would not be seated and that other friends of the governor are travelling over the state, winch facts cause MT. Evans friends to believe that he is being counted out somewhere.
 The Republicans can see no other reasons why the returns should not be made public. MT. Saunders said Dem- ocrats were as indignant over the mat ter as Republicans, and had received assurances from hundreds of Democrats of their support in the event that any attempt was made to count Mir. Evans out. Nearly all the leading Democratic newspapers in Tennessee, MT. Saunders said, are opposed to anything of the kind. He felt that the time to act had arrived.
