AS far us New York is concerned.

must be gratifying to the World to
have to acknowledge that there is
''chaos in Congress and ielplessness
in the administration which it fought
to elect by the publication Of IN unin.
terrupted tissue Of deliberate lies.
Each n of these four Democratic
papers-the New York Herald, the
New York Times, the Evening Post
and the New York World-has to ac-
knowledge the utter failure and in
competency of the leaders of it's party
TO administer the national affairs Of
the United States without bringing the
country to the verge of bankruptcy.
If we felt assured that the lesson
thus learned would be of benefit to the
fools who edit these papers we would
be content, but this will not be the
case. They have seen things go from
bad to worse during the last two years
under the administration which they
wanted. They have suggested one
remedy after another, and they know
most positively that the fault is in the
utter incompetency of their leaders
and of their party now, as it mas been
in the past, to enact any legislation
that will benefit our American cont.
nent.
There is but one remedy-thc utter
and complete overthrow of the party
which these papers represent and the
restoration to power of the party that
has. and v e has had, the welfare of
Americans and the prosperity Of Amer
lean interests as the fundamental
principle of it's political policy. If the
editors of these four papers would
openly acknowledge their error by
working for the complete humiliation
of the party in which they formerly
p~rofessed to have confidence we would
respect them.
Will they do it? Or will they later
to their old policy Of clamoring
destruction by continuing to write
lies and to publish lies for the benefit
of the foreign countries which may, or
may not, be buying up the editorial
columns Of their papers, or which
may. perhaps. have some pecuniary
interest in their management which
prevents any advocacy of the re-enact-
of the Mckinley tariff, which
would mean the immediate restoration
to their proper value of all American
securities.
