Mr.. CLEvELAND's secretary OF the
navy proposes to 60 right on squan'
dering the peoples money on a
worthless navy, regardless of the
fact that the funds to meet
the expenses of his department must
be borrowed. The government has
lust finished negotiating second
loan of $50, 100000, and Secretary
Herbert wants $27, ss5,sl4 of it to
spend on his precious navy next
wear. He has so many war ships
now that there are no longer men
enough to man them and he asks for
the enlistment OF 1000 more men,
and if he gets them, they must be
paid out of borrowed money. And
what is it all forf The chief OBJ
lection made to Coxey's good roads
scheme was that the government
had no money to pay for the work.
The $3l, 100000 of borrowed money
wasted on the navy last year might
much better have been paid to
Coxey's followers for useful labor
than to Carnegie for defective srmor

The Editor of the London Eng.
land) Echo has gloomy fore-bodings
for the safety of this country.
While his picture may be over
drawn, the signs Of the times are
indeed ominous, and unless the
clutch of monopoly is shaken off
the threats of the people, the de-
struction of the Republic is newt.
able. The Echo says
1.-THE signs of the times indicate
that before the sun rises on Jan. l,
1900, the great American nation
will groan and writhe in an agony
of revolution, and the streets of all
her great cities will be slippery-a
hundred drops of blood for each
gem that flashes on the necks of the
rich and pampered women, and ten
drops of blood for each tear that
has washed the face of the poor.
Every election is carried by Doodle
or buckshot. Politics is so rotten
that it stinks. America is no long
err a Republic. A nation such as
this, IN which one million plutocrats
tyrannize over sixty million slaves,
will be either overthrown by for.
eign foe, or drowned in its own
blood, or die of gangrene. The
various labor organizations neither
think together, vote together, nor
work together, and they have no
money to buy votes, lawyers and
Judges. Soldiers and police shoot
down laboring people and are cheer
ed on in their bloody work by mo-
nopolists and editors and the clergy.
But the day will soon come when
there will be a horrible dance to
death, lighted up by burning houses
and the music of cries and groans
and dynamite bombs. Rich idlers
amuse themselves at Newport and
Tuxedo poor workers toll cease.

en- through Central Park to take the

filthy garrets Piety in the White
House enjoying the fruits Of bribery,
infidelity in the tenement house en-
during the punishment Of upright
eousness. These are the signs Of

You're clear discouraged bout it,
Because your prayers 60 contrari'

Your party got SO routed!
Do you suppose petitions go
Up to the ear of heaven -

A little cake of leavenS
Josiah, when I've pondered Ger
That question Of protection
And tried to find the ins and outs
II couldn't fore election),
I lust sot down and thought like
this:
There's my Josiah Allen,
A kinder man there never was,
With just one ser'us failin'.
Nigh onto thirty years he's been
A.votin' and a-prayin'-
A prayin' for saloons to 60,
Then votin' for their stayin'.
Now, don't begin to contradict,
Just wait till 1 get through it,
And then if you don't think tits true,
Why, then say you didn't do it.
Josiah, look me in the face,
And answer this one question
Your party stands for licensed rum
And gives it full protection.
Now, if you sanction, as you must
By votin' for SIGH doin's,
Amt you helpin keep the dens
That make 80 many ruins!
What's that you sayf They prom

If you just one more vote would
give
And help them save the nationF

Would thus your conscience bar

was it, then,
Made you so mighty willin'f
They promised you an Office, heb
They had on hand for film Z
Josiah, / had no idee
Your heart was so set on it
That you you would let that Office
bee
Go buzzin' in your bonnet.
Your vote is lost, just thrown away,
Your prayers are all UNDECIDED.
Because for party you have worked
When principle was needed.
Josiah, now is just your time
Old party ties to sever,
And bravely stand with voice and
vote
Against rum rule forever.
You say you will? The Lord be
praised J
A burden now is lifted;
And when before the great white
throne
The wheat from chaff is sifted,
You'll stand the test, for when they

whether Senator Butler will sucrr. ii
himself OF whether his successor will

wins he will beat tho strongest man in

ever, is not only strong. but he is
growing stronger. His dispensary law
Is bringing in a revenu to the State.
and he has shown that he intends TO
enforce it. The result is that tho
church and temperance people are
coming to his support. He has able
~lleutcnants also. If he ome to the
Senate his successor as Governor will
be State Senator John Gary Evans,
now In Washington, a nephew Of tho
famous Gen Mark w. Gary. who
organized the movement which re-
suited in the election Of Wade Hamp-
ton to the Senate. Young Evans is
but %, yet he is a born leader and has
been Tlllman's right hand man in the
State Senate. Two more of Gen.
Gary's nephews are Tillman licuten-
ants and are OF the bench of South
Carolina in consequence. Tillinan has

power as a pupil of old Gen Gary and
has strengthened his hold in every
