be OF assistance to the insurgents.

ON the subject is that if the boys from

the occasion cannot be excelled, among
them being Rev. NJ. Kehoe and Hon. N.

The national civic societies have all been
invited. and, no doubt, there will be a
grand parade and celebration generally
in honor of the old soldiers and their
departed comrades.

BY chance.
What chance?
He CHANGED to be chairman of commit
tee that drafted tariff bill.
Didn't he do it himself?
About as much as a monograph writes
the poetry it repeats.
Didn't the people think he did It?
Some Of them do.
Why doesn't he tell them how 1t was?
= That isn't Mckinley.
What is the financial issue?
It is a question as to whether business
men or farmers are better qualified to solve
the problems of finance.
Can there be any question as to that?
There seems to be.
How does Mckinley stand?
He straddles.
What is straddling?
Holding on to the farmers while the
business men are letting go of him.
Is that wise?
1t is, for the business men.
But for Mckinley?
That's the kind of great American
statesman he is.
What is the matter with Hanna?
He's all right-for Hanna.
But doesn't he know that it is unwise?
He thinks he will handle the business
men while Mckinley will handle the farm
ers.
Does he boss Mckinley?
Well, he is boss.
Does Mckinley yield tamely?
Nobody has noticed him kick yet.
How did Hanna get such grip on him?
That's private.
Will Mckinley make a great president?
His promises think so.
Why do they think so?
They will enjoy the usufruct Of his cleo
ton.
VIII he be elected?
He isn't nominated yet.-New York Sun.
