M'KINLEY THE INEVITABLE.

The New York Evening Post which
keeps standing in its columns the finan-
cial Scare-crow record Of Mckinley,
and has singled him out from all other
prospective Republican candidates as
the target for its assaults, has at last
been forced to the conclusion that
Mckinley stock is rising in the market
and that there is little doubt that he
Will win the prize at St Louis. Ger
tainly, Mr.. Mckinley will be nomina-
ted and his nomination will be follow
ed by his election, and the reason for
his promotion to first place in the
American nation is TO be found in the
confidence with which the people re-
gard him in every quarter of the I'M
ion. The popularity of the disting-
uiShed OhiOan is easily accounted for.
for it has grown into a truism that he
is essentially and above all things Am
erican, and that once invested with the
administrative powers of the govern
ment he Will be proof against the cor
rupting influences of Anglo-American
financial and all other policies that
have the death faint of English gan
CREME. Under Mckinley as president,
Americans will be protected both at
home and abroad, treatment they have
been strangers TO under Cleveland. 1t
is remarkable fact that among all the
other political parties, and in his own
party. no man stands out so prominent
~ and distinctly, the favorite, the cho-
sen one Of the people as Mr.. Mckinley;
and for the all sufficient reason that he
is of the people and for the people in
the strictly American sense of that
term. The Evening Post in comment
tory for Mckinley in the Illinois Re
publican convention strikes the key
note Of his popularity and success.
when it says: Mckinley has Won
his present great lead, and will appar-
eptly win the race. because he repre-
sentS something. while the others, even
the once forceful Reed, stood for moth
ing And that something, was the
tariG act of 1890. which the Post
would fam have its readers believe,
other men had more to do with framing
than Mckinley. admitting. however,
that the act referred TO has been ideal
lied in the popular mind as the au-
thor Of the prosperity that the country
enjoyed for the two following years.
and is now acclaimed, in a period OF
business depression" Il is too late
in the day TO attempt 10 rob Mckinley
OF the authorship OF that act. the full
credit Of which has been universally
accorded. and which the masses be.

1t may turn out that the Oklahoma City
Republican convention was merely a scrap
TO see which men should go TO 81. Louis
for the sake OF voting for Mckinley.
The chances are that the reason the Dem
ocrats put off their congressional con-
ventiOn until August was because they
couldn't find any one to take the place.

Freeport, L., April 2s-Mr5. Wiles
has sent the following telegram TO
Mrs. James NJ Flower, delegate 10

at Springfield: 81 must decline the
high honor of your offer TO nominate
me for trustee, beause the whole heart
ed performance OF the duties OF the
Office would require too much absence
from my children.
ALICE BRADFORD wILES."
1t seems that in Illinois there Is an
organization known as the League OF
Republican women. Its object seems
10 be to open a side door into the po-
litical arena in which women who are
ambitious for political distinction can
talk politics, fight over politics and do
everything that a male politician can
do except vote. OF course the truly
emancipated woman would not let a
little matter like domestic arrange
ments interfere with her political as
pirations. What does the care of a
home compare with the political deSti-
MES of a nation? Why should the cry
of an infant be permitted to disturb
mother when engaged in the great
operation Of molding the policy of a
great political party? But Mrs. Alice
Bradford Wiles must be one Of the
old fashioned women, the women who
believe that woman's greatest influence
is exerted in the home, and wOman's
highest duty is the duty she owes to

President ID. Griffin Gum.

D. Griffin Gum, D. D. brother of
DR.. j. A. Gum, of this city, who
went West about fifteen years ago, is
making great success in his far away
home. DR.. Gum is now President OF
the ST. Louis, Oklahoma and Texas

sch, o. T. The work of grading the
new road is now in progress and a
connection with the Frisco, at Saplul.
pa, will be made by spring. Of DR.
Gum and the enterprise the Oklaho-
milan has this to say:
"Dr. Gum, the president of the rail
way, is backed by some of the
strongest men in the country. So
quickly has the syndicate been form
ed that many think so great progress,
in so short a time, is impossible, but
we learn that busy hands and heads
have been at work on it for six months
or more. 1t indeed seems a marve-
louS success"

During almost two years of profes-

ern'Kentucky Asylum for the insane,
l have been indeed forcibly impressed
with the efficient and commendable
administration of the Superintend-
emit, B. w. Stone, His kindness of
disposition, charitable and benevolent
dealings with those intrusted to his
care, high christian character, and
always active benefceuce has estab-
lished tie of relationship both in,
and outside of this institution, that
will never be broken. 1t will certain
ly be a pleasure to us who have been
subject to the political revolution in
Kentucky when the time comes to
take our departure, to look back with
pride to the administration of DR..
Stone, with its many improvements,
standing as a monument to his mem
DRY, which time alone can deface or
crumble. He leaves it in a condition
that has never before been attained,
due regard being paid to his prede
cessor, and this of itself is sufficient
proof to enable us to speak in the
highest term of praise in behalf of
his entire administration. Our best
wishes go with him. j. a. w.

indicates that he got out of his bug

head was almost submerged in the
water. Mr.. Vaughn was about thirty
five years of age and Mason of high

and carried life insurance OF S25, 900.

mornings ago. The young lady was
coming down a flight of stairs and was
looking backward at the same time
she was making the descent of the
steps, when she fell a distance of
about fifteen feet, breaking her right
arm at the elbow and cutting a cash
in the top of her head about three
inches in length, necessitating the
taking of several stitches to sew up
the wound. She is getting along as
well as could be expected.

Yesterday morning DR.. B. W. Stone
left for Louisville to join DR.. Eaton
a party of friends, who will take a
long trip through Europe. The party
will sail from New York on the sixth
day of February, and before return
ing home will visit all the places
of interest in Italy, Spain, Egypt and
other countries. When DR.. Stone
returns to America he will establish
somewhere in this State a private in.
stitution for the treatment of insanity.
1t is likely that this asylum will be
located near Louisville, but DR.. Stone
may conclude to erect the building
near this city. He will be absent
about six months in Europe,
