LOGIC AND HISTORY.
New York Sum-
The resolutions adopted by the Milhol-
land Mckinley mass meeting at the Coop
er Union Monday evening declare that
Major Mckinley is "a logical candidate
OF the Republican party for President.
What does this mean? That Major Nc
Kinley is a candidate with u logical
mind? That may lie so, or it may not be
SO. The fact is, the precision and speed
OF the Majors mental processes, and the
value of his intellectual conclusions, are
as yet better known to Mr.. Hanna of
Cleveland than to the vast majority of
American Republicans.
Or does it mean that Major Mckinley
is a candidate whom the Republican
Iarty can nominate without being illogi~
cal? That is undou btedly true, and it is
true likewise of Mr.. Nor ton, Mr.. Reed,
Mr.. Allison, or any other of Major Nc
K1nley's competitors
Or does it mean that the Ohio states
man is the logic candidate of the Repub-
lican party; the man of all men whom
the logic of events requires it to nomi-
nate?
Ii that is the meaning, it must be be-
cause the accident of Major MoKinley's
appointment by Speaker Heed as chair
man of the committee on ways and
means in the House of Representatives
of the Fifty-fir Congress- fastened his
name to the tariff bill which the Republi-
can party passed through Congress in the
spring of 1890.
The first political results of the pas
sage of that bill were recorded in the
fall elections of the same year. A new
House of Representatives was elected in
which there were only 81 Republicans.
The Repu bIicans lost Connecticut, Illi-
nois, Indiana. Massachusetts,. Michigan,
Nebraska, Oregon, Rhode Island, Wiscon-
sin, and even Pennsylvania. They mar
rowly escaped the loss of Kansas, Mime
sofa, Iowa and even the Majors own
Ohio. In New York they elected only II
Representatives, as against lS in the
preceding Congress. In Ohio they elected
only seven Congressman, instead of IS
as before.
The next step in the logical process
was the election in 1899 Of Grover Cleve-
land as President of the United States,
and the loss by Major MoKinley's party
of the control of the entire administra-
tion machinery of the federal govern
ment.
Logic is logic, but history is history.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The Story of New Sweden as told at
the Quarter Centennial Celebration of
the Founding of the Swedish Colony in
the Woods of Maine, June %. 1895, has
just been published by tho Thurston
Print. and Is for sale by Loring, Short &
Harmon for 25 cents in paper, and 80
cents in cloth binding. The volume is
published under the direction of Micheal
N. Norberg, Johan A. Westin and
Olof P. Fogelin of the New Sweden col
ony, who constituted the committee on
publication. The extemporaneous speech
es contained in this volume wers steno-
graphed, and the volume edited by STAN
ley j. Estes.
Everybody interested in the story of
the New Sweden colony. and every in
telligent citizen of Maine is or ought to
be-will appreciate this volume which
contains the narrative of the colony from
it's inception up to the present time, as
told by the Hon. W. W. Thomas, Jr., its
founder, in the Grafton which he deliv-
cred at the quarter-centennial. Those who
heard the grafton will enjoy reading it as
much as they enjoyed listening to it. 1t
has been elaborated in some points since
its delivery, and as published contains
many interesting and suggestive para
graphs that did not appear in its original
form. The volume opens with happy
Introduction to the ceremonies of the
day which it commentaries. Then fol-
lows the appropriate opening address by
Mr.. Frank Oscar Landgrane, one of the
Swedish oo1onists, who was President of
the day Then comes the prayer by Rev.
s. d. jerks of Caribou and then the
very eloquent address of welcome by
Rev. Michael Ullrioh Norberg, pastor Of
the First Swedish Evangelical Lutheran
church of Maine. Next follows the ora
ton Of Mr.. Thomas, the founder.
Though widely published and read at the
uine, it will we'll repay per usal even by
those who heard it. Following the ora
of Hon. W. W. Thomas Sr., Hon.
Charles F. Daggett, Hon. H. L. Shep-
herd, Hon. c. A. Boutelle, Col. F. N.
Dow, Hon. Albion Little, Hon. S. l..
Larrabes and Hon. Edward Wiggin, all
of them stenographially reported; and the
letters read on the occasion from Gov
C1eaves, Speaker Reed, Senator Hale,
Milliken, Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain
ex-Gov. Perham, George W. Norton,
Payson Tucker and Frank W. Cram. In
an appendix is contained the names of
the twenty-five men who sailed from
Sweden with Mr.. Thomas on the 25th of
June, 1870, together with the lots on
which they settled; the first board of
municipal officers of the Plantation of
New Sweden; and the first board of Off
GERS of the town of New Sweden, elected
year ago. There are many excellent pic
lures of prominent men of the colony and
of the principal buildings. The frontis-
piece Of the volume is Il portrait of Mr.
Thomas. A wide cir culatIon of the book
will undoubtedly prove of great benefit to
the state.

SILVER AND PROSPERITY.

The Hon. George E. Talbot, in COM
mon with the other silver people,
cultivates the impression that all the
financial collapses and business depress-
ions that have afflicted the country have
happened since the year 1873 One not
acquainted with the history of the coun-
try previous to that date would infer
from Mr. Talbot's article elsewhere pub
hshed that up to that time the country
had sailed along on placid waters with
out any squalls or head flaws, with the
sun of prosperity constantly shining and
the wind always blowing in the right
direction and at just the right velocity.
He would infer also that those same con-
ditions would have prevailed indefinitely
had not the American Congress in the
year 1873, in an evil hour, removed the
barrier that had heretofore confined
the angry and contrary winds,
and let them all out to play
the mischief with our prosperity. But
history cannot be blotted out, nor the
fact concealed that long before the
act demonetizing silver was passed
there had been ups and downs
in business periods of great prosperity
and periods of corresponding adversely
and depression. So the argument that
as depression happened after the act Of
1873 therefore 1t was caused by that act,
has not the usual force of the post hoe
argument inasmuoh as it an be easily
shown that depression happened before
as we'll as after.
But, says Mr.. Talbot, business has not
picked up in the two years that we have
been Oh a monometallic basis, or not so
much as was anticipated, therefore 1--WE
are quoting the gist Of his argumenf) the
monometallio basis is not the true one,
and the country should get on to the So
caIledybi-metallie basis as soon as possible.
This argument depends for its validity
upon several facts and these must be

CURRENT COMMENT.
HE NEW YORK MCKINLEY MEET
ING.
New York Evening Post.

NEW York Evening Post.)
When the hour for the speaking arrived
the numbe- of Mckinley boomers was
SO painfully small that the chairman
asked them to move down to the front Of
the platform. After they had done so
there was large space in the rear of the
hall unoccupied. Others dropped in later
but most OF these wers employees of the
city departments. No better evidence
could be furnished that Mckinley is not
popular in this part OF the Republican
vineyard. He has plenty of newspaper
backing especially in the Columns of the
Tribune and the World; but neither the
business men nor the workingmen are
for him. If the city is any index to the
feeling of the State Gov. Morton is the
party's first choice and Mckinley is not
the second. 1t is not difficult to predict
that if Mr.. Morton's name is dropped for
any reason the bulk of the New York
vote will go to Thomas B. Reed.
