SENATOR JONES, of Nevada, thinks
that ex-President Harrison may pos
sibly be taken up at ST. Louis, but is
rather of the opinion that the nom
inee will be Senator Allison. He is
further of the opinion that Don
Cameron will be the silver candidate,
and that he will carry the western
silver states, and some of the south
ern states, but did not express any
opinion as to the full strength he
thought he would exhibit. In this
connection Col. Tom Ochiltree, of
Texas, gave it as his opinion that if
Senator Cameron was the silver can
didate he would carry the south, and
that the presidential election would
be thrown into the house, and the
Republican candidate chosen.

THE story was circulated a few da

The story was circulated a few days
ago that Gen. McAlpin, of New
York, president of the National Re-
publican League, was negotiating with
the Mckinley leaders for their sup
port as vice-presidentia candidate.
Not only did this report cause SEN
sation in New YORK political circles,
where everything was supposed to be
solid for Gov. Morton, but was a sur
prise to the entire country, for it was
only last week at the meeting of the
Minnesota state league, that Gen.
McAlpin had expressed himself in
such strong terms for New York's gov
ernor, and professed to believe that
his nomination was among the GER
tainties. But no sooner did this re-
port reach Gen. McAlpin, and his
immediate personal friends then it
was promptly denied. The General
declared that nothing of the kind had
entered his thoughts and that he
should stand true to Gov. Morton to
the last. 1t seems the story grew out
of the fact that Editor Sam Phillips,
of the Republican League Leader,
made trip to Cleveland few days
ago, and the New York political Cos
sips could divine only one reason why
he should go there, and that was in
the interest of Gen. McAlpin and
the vice-presidency. Mr.. Phillips says
the story was sprung for the purpose
of hurting Mckinley in the east by
arousing the spirit of jealousy, but
it is just as likely to have been started
as mere piece of Idle political gossip.

MCKINLEY STILL LEADS.

Up to date there have been 440 Of
tie 900 delegates to the Republican
national convention elected. OF these
ZS5 are for Mckinley, So for Reed, "a
for Morton, "a for Allison, and 25 for
Quay. The choice of the remaining
"a is unknown. This gives Mr.. Nc
Kinley majority of those already
elected, and there is every reason to
believe that he will keep up his
strength in nearly the same ratio in
the selection of the remaining dele
gates. During the past ten days the
politicians opposed to him have been
doing their utmost to break the force
Of the Mckinley boom, but so far
they have failed to make the least i'm
preston upon it. Bosses were never
in very good favor with Republicans,
and less so than ever at the present
time. The people are back of the Nc
kinley boom, and that is the reason
It so steadily holds it's own, and bids
fair to continue holding it's own until
9he convention meets. 1t has now Sc
cured such momentum that it will
draw strength of it's own force, and
The indications now are that when the
convention meets MAJOR Mckinley
will have more than enough votes to
nominate him on the first ballot, and
the field will have nothing to say in
the whole matter. There may be un-
BOXED for happenings before June 16,
which will change the face of the
situation, but candidate so soldly
supported by the people is not likely
TO suffer any material loss at the hands
of the politicians, and the fact that
Major Mckinley persistently refuses
to make any promises to the self
styled bosses, only serves to strengthen
him with the masses of his party, as
veil as the people generally.

see that the policy of protection which
he fearlessly champions is the only
economic policy that will give the
country continued prosperity.
SENATOR Villas, true to Democrat,

SENATOR Villas, true to Democratic
instincts, has come out in opposition
to the payment of subsidies by this
country for carrying American mails.
This is perfectly in line with the
senator's political record He opposes
protection to American industries and
favors policy which tends TO en-
courage industrial interests abroad
and discourage them at home. and if
is in perfect keeping with this spirit
that he opposes subsidies for carving
American mails, because it will tend
to build up American shipping inter-
ests. The 51st congress opened the
way for revival of American ship
ping, and as a result, there are several
large steamships sailing the Atlantic,
flying the American flag. Had the
encouragement then given, been fol-
lowed up by subsequent congress, a
steady growth might have been had.
If the idea put forth by Senator Villas,
were to be carried out, what little in
the way of a start that has been &C
complished, would be lost, and an at
tempted revival of American shipping
interests prove failure. 1t has been
demonstrated that ships can be built
as cheaply in this country as any
where in the world, and the equal of,
or superior to any that float, but I'M
less some encouragement is held
forth for the establishment of lines in
competition with the subsidized lines
OF England, ship building Will re-
main an industry of very little ac-
count in this country.

and passed by the aid of the mayors
vote to re-advertise for sale the il
legally issued $4,000 electric light
bonds. Then the council received a
proposition from the MankatO Gas
and Electric Light Co. for furnishing
lights for period of five years-S75
per year for arc lights OF 1000 candle
power and 10 cents per thousand
watts for incandescentli lights. This by
odds is the lowest offer ever made by
responsible parties, and concededly
cheaper than the city can furnish it's
own lights. Why, then, was this
proposition to re-advertise worthless
bonds sprung at this time? Can it be
that it was for the purpose of militat-
ing against the water bonds to be
voted on tomorrow? 1t is not believed
that majority of the council have
any notion of pushing the sale of these
bonds. Any taxpayer could restrain
the city from paying the bonds, and
want to stake his reputation against
such contingency. There can be
but one conclusion drawn from the
peculiar action had Saturday night,
and that is double dealing on the
water bond question. No doubt some
members of the council did not see
any scheme in the seemingly innocent
proposition to try and negotiate these
old bonds once rejected, but if there
had been no Interior motive in it why
the haste? Why was the motion to
defer advertising until after the next
meeting voted down? Later develop
ments may throw some light on the
matter.

The Chicago Tribune is trying to
prove that Major Mckinley is free
silver man. To do this it has to go
back twenty years to his early con-
gressional life, and it finds that
when he first entered congress in
1877 he voted for a free silver coinage
bill, and that he also voted for the
Bland-Allison act. Since then, how
ever, it can find nothing in his pub
lie career which favors unlimited free
coinage. But on those early acts
which took place before he had had a
chance to give the money question
any great amount of study,it seeks to
condemn him. The conditions under
which his vote was given for free
coinage were far different than they
are today. Silver was but little below
par at that time, and no doubt many
man would under conditions existing
then vote for it's free coinage who
would not do so under present con-
ditions. But during the past four or
five years Mr.. Mckinley has made
public utterances which show that
under existing conditions he stands
opposed to the free coinage of silver
by this country.

BURDENS AT HOME AND ABROAD.

As one listens sometimes to the
wall of the calamity bowler, he may
be led to think, if he does not stop to
reflect, that this is one of the worst
countries upon the face OF the globe
in which to live. They tell of the
hard conditions of life which have
grown UP, of the burdens of taxation,
and the disadvantages under which
the masses of the people labor. But
when they are cornered they are forced
to admit that after all it is pretty
good country, and that our govern
ment is not bad one. 1t WOulh
doubtless be well if those who are
more or less Disseminated and in
clined to believe that there is but liz
tIe advantage in being an American
citizen. and that that advantage is
growing less and less, would once
and a while take survey or con-
ditions in the old world, and note the
enormous burdens which rest upon
the people there. Europe is divided
into twenty independent govern
ments, and has total population OF
S66, 900, OOO Of the different countries,
Belgium is the most densely populated,
having 213 people to the square mile,
while Norway is the least dense. hav-
ing but seven persons to the square
mile. These twenty governments are
at all times cycling each other with
suspicion, and on what they call a
peace footing constantly maintain a
standing army of 100000 men, at an
annual cost of one billion dollars. Be-
sides this, provision is also made for
the calling out and arming OF 2l,OOO,-
900 men, in addition to the present
idlers. This vast expense for this
peace-footing and constant readiness
for war footing has to be met by the
Industrial classes, and is a fearful
burden upon them, the like OF which
the people of this country know
nothing about, But this is only
BART of the burden which rests upon
Them. They also have to meet the
ordinary expenses of the government,
and besides this, have resting upon
them public debt of more than $685.
100000, the annual interest OF
which is a tremendous sum that must
be paid by the toiling masses. To
wipe out the debt resting upon Europe
would require sos from every man,
woman and child living there.
Against this the per capita debt in
She United States is but Sl5. In
Europe the largest per capita debt'is
in France, it being Sl25; the smallest
is. in Switzerland, being SIS. In this
great debt burden and militarism is
TO be found the great weight that is
grinding and crushing down the COM
mon people of Europa terrible force
that the people of America know
nothing about. Things are far from
ideal here, but as compared with the
Did world. the burdens are light.

HENRY WATTERSON sailed for
Europe with his family few days
ago. While there it is said he will
finish writing life of Lincoln,
which he has been working at for
some time. Referring to political
matters, he gave it as his opinion
that the contest for the Republican
nomination would marrow down be-
tween Reed and Allison with the
chances greatly in favor of the lat
ter. He said he did not give a snap
whom either party nominated for the
presidency, and that he should be
abroad until after election and had
lost all interest IN politics. A nation
al Democratic convention without
Watterson is likely to be somewhat
tame.

The Democrat who helps the Mckinley boom
along is helping his own party. 1t will be easier
to beat him than anybody else. The country
has twice registered majority against his
high tariff views, and the manufacturers money
that is being used to get him nominated will
not make him popular with the people

This is all mere bluff. The Globe
and all other Democratic papers that
are retailing such stuff, know that
there is not man in this country who
is as strong with the masses as is Ma
jor Mckinley today. Strong as are
any of the other Republican aspirants
for that position, there is not one of
them that can secure the votes that
Mr.. Mckinley can. While it is true
that in 1890 and again in 1892 the vote
or the country was against the policy
OF protection, it was so registered as a
result OF the grossest misrepresenta-
tion. The people have found out the
falseness of the assertions made bv
free trade Democracy, and they have
also found that any step toward free
trace is not step toward prosperity.
