WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH McKINLEY?-nIS OWN Lam

Why McKinly Keeps Silent.

The reason of McKinley's silence is
not far to seek. He dare not face the
following facts
First-McKinley voted to suspend
the rules and pass free silver bill in
1887.
Second-In 1878 he voted for the
Bland Silver Dollar Bill and supported
il, and did much to accomplish its pas
sage against the veto of President
Hayes.
Third-In 1888, when chairman of the
Platform Committee of the Republ'-
can National Convention, he reported
resolutions denouncing the Democrat
ic Administration in its efforts to de-
monetize silver"
Fourth-In 1890, when leader of the
House, he advocated the passage of the
Sherman Silver purchase law and de-
clared: II want the double stan

zone most heard, that you can take
one American silver dollar into Mexi-
co and get two Mexican silver dollars
for il, or that you can get fifty cent

this utterly false in every respect, a
lie manufactured out of whole cloth.
| assert that a Mexican will not ac-
cept an American dollar, either gold,
silver or paper, for any amount, but
will refer you to broker, where you
can sell your silver dollars as bullion
for Mexican money, then they will
trade with you. The largest hotel in
the City of Mexico will not accept
American money under any circum-
stances, but will invariably refer you
to broker.
"By paying the mintage any one
can take silver bullion to either of

ANOTfI ER NAILED.

It was immediately plain that there was no oratory in the Boy Orators speech in Madison Square Garden, and it has since become plain that there was no truth of any account in 1t. One of his misstatements was that rail road rates have not been reduced to keep pace with falling prices" This misstatement has been dealt with by competent authority, the Railroad Ga zette, which points out that the rate per ton per mile for eighteen of the chief railroads of the country in 1873 was 1888 cents. This is lower than the real average because the eighteen lines include all the great roads on which the traffic was heavy and the rates low, and do not take in the mass of the lines of thin traffic and high rates. Assum- ing, however, that the average rate in 1873 was 1888, in 1894, according to the report of the Interstate Commerce commission, it was only OS6 The fall in freight charges during the twenty years was therefore 56.7 per cent. In 1873, according to the figures of the Treasury department, it cost 26.9 cents per bushel on the average to send a bushel of wheat from Chicago to New York by lake and rail. In 1895 the rate had fallen to e.95. The all-rail rate of 1873 was 33.2; in 1895 it was only 1217. Here is a decline in the one instance of "A per cent. and in the other of 63 per cent. From 1873 to 1895 the average price of wheat declined from $1.55h to .6S1a per bushel. a drop of 56 per cent, which is considerably less than the per- centage of the decline of freight rates. The rail rate on corn fell in the same period 50 per cent, but the price of corn dropped only 26 per cent. Similar results appear from comparison of rates and prices of various provisions.
 Of course love for the people covers multitude of sins, but it doesn't cover such wrong dealing with facts as the Boy Orator has been guilty of.

NOT 4 CANDIDATE.


 We print this morning a statement from the Hon. Samuel Fessenden which sets at rest some of the foolish and malicious rumors that have lately been flying around. MT Fessenden says in straightforward language which leaves no room for misinterpretation that he will not be a candidate for the United States senatorship against MT. Platt. He believes that it is the wish of the Republicans of Connecticut that MT. Platt should be his own successor and he is unwilling that any personal ann bition of his should furnish ground for dissension in the Republican party.
 MT Fessenden's political sagacity and party loyalty never shone any more brightly than they do in this state ment He has correctly judged the sentiment of the Republicans of this State. They do want MT, Platt to be his own successor. They deeply realize that they could not be better repre- sented in the United States senate than they are by him, and they know the value of his long experience, his solid character and reputation and his ac- cumulated influence. They know that no senator in Washington has more real power than he has, and they know that no senator uses his power better or more patriotically than he does. They know further that his position as member of the Finance committee is extremely important just now to his State and his country, and they know that no new man, however able and well-equipped, would be put there. They see no reason for making a change and they see weighty and con- elusive reasons for not making a change. These reasons and their force are, of course, as plain to MT. Fessen- den as to them, and he does not allow natural and justifiable ambition to obscure his perception and his judg- ment. He has done the right and wise thing both for himself and his State and his action will be heartily approved by all who understand the situation. It leaves the field entirely clear for Senator Platt There will be no dis agreeable, useless and harmful contest, and that which ought to be done will be done with hearty goodwill and unanimity.

 The huge raft of logs now being con- structed at Stella, Wash, by Messrs Robertson & Baines, is receiving its finishing touches. and will be cleared from the immense cradle on Saturday morning and lowed over the bar and thence to San Francisco.
 This is the third raft of logs leav- ing Stella, the first unfortunately being lost at sea, but the second was success fully lowed to San Francisco last sum- mer The raft, which is now ready for moving, is about 300 feet in length, ci- gar-shaped in construction, and con- tains 450,000 linear feet of piling and spar timbers. Its value is S45. 900, and an insurance of $16000 has been placed on the raft, covering over one-third of it's actual value. The rate of insurance, ten per cent, is so high that the owners did not feel justified in taking more of a risk than would be necessary to meet actual expenses entailed in construct ing the great raft
 It is arranged that the raft will leave Stella Saturday morning.

There is no need of alarm over the promised coming of tight sleeves. They'll come, sure enough, but they're long way off as yet, and while they are arriving there are many very pret- ty sleeves that are tight from wrist to little above the elbow, the shoulder bearing a small puff. These puffs are frequently draped in very ingenious and ornate ways, but less striking ar engagements like that pictured here re- spond to the style just as thoroughly and save the wearer from being too conspicuous.
