to them, Sunshine"
but if his story should prove to be
true, papa, could not his discharge be

he regarded his present condition as a

his duty as soldier to the very best of

You allow your sympathies to kick

Financial Difficulties Aggravated by OBJ
atructfonists of the Party.
It is apparently overlooked by many
newspapers that there were any re-
publicans at all in the last congress
Quay, Cameron, Hale, Frye, Reed,
Boutelle and all the rest must have
been abroad and out of political life
according to the criticisms of the con-
gress made by the republic press
What was the record of the republic
ans in congress? There were grave
questions to deal with; the financial
question, the tariff, the federal cleo
ton question and the relations of the
United States with foreign countries
On these questions where did the re-
publicans stand? Every obnoxicns
amendment to the tariff bill was
forced in it by the slight republican
vote. The delay in the sound financial
legislation was brought about by the
silver republicans like Teller and VOL
colt. The sugar tariff is the work of
the repu blican senator's The financial
crisis came from the obstruction and
opposition of republican congressman.
The republican party has ceased to
be a party of affirmation and positive
principles, of good measures, of sound
legislation. It's orators have become
quibblers, snarls instead of argues, its
campaigns instead of being based on
affirmative principles have come to be
q series of criticisms and attacks, not
of suggestions for constructive and
progressive legislation. = Albany Ar

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

There are not going to be any
American goods sold at profit in the
English markets if the Mckinley
brethren can help it. No, sir!-Boston
Herald.
Mr.. Mckinley's sugar bounty has
cost the people of the United States
another five million dollars. And it
has also cost Mr.. Mckinley about five
million votes.-St Louis Republic.
The recent ruction at Indianapo-
lis demonstrated that if Mr.. Harrison
can get his own state behind him in
the next republican convention he will
have a good fighting chance.-St- Louis
Republic
EVERY time Mr.. Foraker speaks
well of the Mckinley presidential
boom he throws in an allusion to the
Mckinley tariff law. Mr.. Mckinley
needs to be saved from this sort of sup
port--Washington Post.
when reporter politely told
Senator Cullom that his name was on
the list of presidential possibilities he
smiled and said he had not given the
matter thought. Neither has the
country.-Kansas City Star.
Now that it is too late ex-Czar
Reed regrets the borish part he played
in refusing to join in a vote of thanks
to Speaker Crisp and shows the inten-
sity of his human nature by trying to
