M'KINLEYS SILVER VIEWS.

EquivocaI Position of the Republican
Presidential AspIrsnt.
Hon. William. Mckinley has taken
pains to denounce as absurd" report
that he had declared that if the re-
publicans committed themselves to
free silver coinage he would decline
the nomination next year and with.
draw from the party. The report was
going the rounds of the newspapers in
the north and west. Had Mai. McKin-
ley been opposed to free coinage and
willing to say that he opposed it, there
would have been no occasion for de-
nouncing this report. It would have
been distinctly helpful to his ambition.
We infer from the majors very en-
phatic disclaimer, which was printed
in the Atlanta Constitution, that he
thought the statement that he was a
sound-money man was doing him
political harm.
A Topeka dispatch throws some light
on MIR. McKinley's position. 1t is be-
lieved in Kansas that he favors a
ans of Kansas, state just wrested
from the populists and politically very
unstable, appear to be willing to ac-
cept him on a platform with a s'strad-
die"
AS this word is used in our political
discussions it implies lodging or
evasion; a refusal, from cowardice or
expediency, to take or avow firm and
fixed position upon a public question
of Importance. The wing leaders
straddled the slavery question. DAN
iel Webster was a straddler on that
momentous ISSUE Like Maj. Nc
Kinley. he wanted to be president of
the United States, and he thought it
safer to straddle than to speak out.
He never became president.
In the ffties statesman who was
too timid to be an enemy of slavery
and of the extension of slavery was
naturally and rightly set down as a
friend of slavery. With equal justice,
a republican aspirant for the presi-
dency who is unwilling to declare him.
self the enemy of unsound money is
set down as no friend of sound money.
The financial position of the repub-
lican party, as at present repre-
scented by the three principal con-
testants for the honor of its nom
| ination next year, is equivocal, to
say the least. Mr.. Reed has never
quite recovered his balance since he
stumbled so painfully on bimetallism
and on the question of authorizing
gold bonds during the session. Mr.
Harrison is silent, and probably in
| tently watchful. But he signed the
disastrous Sherman bill. Maj. McKin-
| ley is well known to be friendly to
silver" but he thinks it prudent to dis
semble. That may be wise tactics for
a nomination hunter. It can hardly
| satisfy the silver men, and 1T certainly
| leaves everything to be desired from
! the point of view of those republicans
| who do not wish to see this country
brought to a silver basis.-N. Y. Times.

THE advance OF business prosper
ity continues and it may be observed
that it increases in velocity as the effect
of the new tariff law is more fully
felt. The money which was taken
from the wage-earners to fatten the
treasures of trusts under the McKin-
ley era now finds it's way to the furni-
ture stores, the grocery stores, the
drygoods stores and the art depots, to
provide comforts and luxuries for those
who earn it. That is the difference
that makes business better and people
happier.-Kansas City Times

 "I have no littlo amount of trouble In that line myself, rcpliod the girl laugh ingly, "but think I remember meeting you In tho subscription bazaar of the First Congregational church last year"
 "You are quite right" he responded with alacrity. Things were progressing beyond his expectations.

A Typical Commencement Gown.

The material used for this particular gown was white muslin, embroidered at far intervals with tiny pinhead dot, and on the smooth background cluster of forgetmenots. The skirt was made with the usual flare and finished with three narrow ruffles that had for their heading half inch wide band formed entirely of tiny blue forgetmenots The bodice was simple draped one, its high collar being covered by stock of pale blue ribbon with bunch of forgetme- nots on each side of the front in rosette fashion. The full puffed sleeves shaped in at the wrist and had as their edge finish band of forgetmenots like that on the skirt. The waist ribbon was a s inch wide forgetmenot blue satin, fin ished with rosettes of the forgetmenots Ladies Home Journal

Low sobbing waves upon a shadow1d shore, Within the mead scent of sleeping flowers, A waning moon behind the hilltop towers, And darkness darker than it was before. Gray stretch of ocean meath a sky of gray,
 Within tho pearled east far faint light,
 A wind among the grasses on the height; Below. the distant murmur of the bay. Dim light that trembles OCT the sombcr sea, Pale sky that fushes suddenly to rose,
 Then golden bright the sun hts glory shows. And, 10. bird is singing from the lea

And you and will do best to use those means that we can best handle; those weapons with which we can make the most execution. Some in God s service will do best with the pen; some with the voice; some by extemporaneous speech, for they have the whole vocabu- lary of the English language half way between their brain and tongue, and others will do best with manuscript spread out before them. Some will serve God by the blow, raising wheat and corn and giving literally of what they sell to churches and missions; some as merchants, and out of their profits will dedicate tenth to the Lord; some as physicians, prescribing for the worlds ailments; and some as | attorneys, defending innocence and ob- taining rights that otherwise would not be recognized and some as sailors, help ing bridge the seas; and some as teach CTS and pastors. The kingdom of God is dreadfully retarded by so many of us attempting to do that which we cannot do; reaching up for broadsword or fal- chion or bayonet or scimeter or Enfield rife or Paixhan's gun, while we ought to be content with an oxgoad. I thank God that there are tens of thousands of Christians whom you never heard of and never will hear of until you see them in the high places of heaven, who are now in quiet way in homes and schoolhouses and in praying circles and by sick beds and up dark alleys saying the saving word and doing the saving deed, the aggregation of their work overpowering the most ambitious statis tics.

The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1895-09-27

THE delegates to the late county
republican convention, now real ze
that they made great mistake
when they allowed few goldbug blow
hards to stlf1e the voice of the conven-
ton on the silver question. They have
gone out among the rank and Tile of
the republican party in this county
and have found that the party is not
in favor Of the species of cowardice
that sealed the mouth of the conven-
ton. That action was heralded forth
as defeat for the silver men. Every
goldbug in the state, who heard about
it, was cackling about the triumph of
''sound money" Now the men res
ponsible for the action of the conven-
tion are beginng to whistle soft and
low. They have heard from the men
who must furnish the vOtee to elect
the ticket, and are now running
around like a lot of fretful pismireS
telling the people the resolutions adopt
ed were really an endorsement of sill
yer. In spite of the protestatlons the
fact remains that the resolutions do
not meet the expectations and senti-
ments of the people, who wanted a
clear-cut endorsement of bimetalism.
