Great Britain Of todayp'
The gentleman seems to forget that
the most important parts ofour history
| deal with Great Britain and cannot be
dismissed with sentence or two. The
long forbearance Of the American col
onists under merciless oppression; the
rise of the spirit of liberty and indie
| pendencc; the Boston massacre; the
outbreak of the Revolution; the glow
ing deeds of our unframed forefathers
the miseries of the British prison ships;
the martyrdom of Hale; the ravages
of the redmen's tomahawk, melted by
English agencies; the invasion by hired
Hessians; the sutferings of Valley
Forge; the heroism of Stony Point and
Monmouth; the immortal Washington,
and Greene, and Putnam, and Warren,
and Stark, and Lafayette, and Steuben,
and Franklin, and Jay, and Knox, and
Adams, and Henry--afl these rise in
protest to their placement from the no.
blest page of our history, the birth Of
the republic. As well ask England to
blot out her record of the Conqueror, of
Cromwell, or wellington.
Nor can we gloss over the harass-
ments that provoked MS to the the War
of 1929 the search of our ships on the
high seas; the impressment of Amer
lean sailors into British service; the
shining deeds of our infant navy; the
repeated assaults and failures to cross
our frontiers; the dastardly burning of
Washington; the final triumph at New
Orleans, As well ask England to drop
from memory the story Of Trafalgar, of
the Peninsular, or the Nile.
Andeven in our own generation, when
beset by internal troubles, we cannot
expunge from history the record that
Great Britain made in hastily rccogniz-
inc the beligerency ofthe South lin fur
nishing her with munitions; in fitting
out the privateers that destroyed out
commerce; and in holding out con-
stantly the hope to the South of open
alliance.
The trouble Is not with our histories
lit is with England. With the record
of the past century and a quarter before
us, we cannot regard England as the
firm and disinterested friend that she
pretends to be. No doubt the feeling
in Great Britain is now one OF kindness
toward us Git ought to be since we have
handed over to her a large part of our
manufacturing )but it will require more
time to heal all the wounds She has
dealt us than has elapsed, and more
sincere evidence Of change in heart
than she has yet given.

Dr.. Democracy a Quack.

Four years ago DR.. Democracy felt
of Uncle Sans pulse and pronounced
him sick. His prescription for the diff.
ticulty was ''free trade Uncle Sam
was foolish enough to be imposed up
on by the quack and took the medi-
cine. Unlike the fellow who said that
Dr.So-and-So was tirst-rate physician
because his medicine didn't do bit of
harm, Uncle Sam has been constantly
growing worse under treatment. He
is now inclined to the opinion that it
is the medicine that hurts him and he
is talking of discharging his advisor.
DR.. Democracy, always fertile in expe-
dients, now tries to make Uncle sam
believe that "free silver'treatment will
cure all his ills.
The doctor is much like another ply
stefan whom we once knew. He had
been treating a person for a long time
in multitude of ways but the patient
had constantly failed until finally, to
save life, it was deemed best to change
physicians. On being discharged the
doctor remarked, I'm real sorry, for
had just one more remedy that |
wanted to try" Uncle Sam won't be
bamboozled by DR.. Democracy again
and won't take his free silver treat
ment. DR.. Democracy will get what
is commonly termed the "grand

Samuel will return to good Republican

Rewriting History.

A well-known Englishman has come
to this country with the avowed pur-
pose Of trying to dispel the animosi-
ty felt by Americans toward Great Brit

of the trouble by getting our school his
tories altered so as to remove the parts
treating of the tyranny and injustice
shown America by the British years
ago, which he believes prejudices the
young against England.
He is quite right in this belief, but it
is another thing to re-write history. He

countries unfairly, but says, .'What is

make Republican success certain in
this part Of the country. We do not
anticipate, however, the total disrup-
ton of the party In the East. Many
Democrats who have declared that they
will ''die in the last ditch" before sup
porting free coinage will be found vot-
ing the straight party ticket in Novem-
Der. It's a way they have. They will
discover that they have been mistaken
in the past and that free silver is all
right. There are indications of this
'fop" already in some of the Eastern
states. The Democratic organizations
in all these states are, however, firm in
their intention not to surrender to sill
YER In New York the Democrats have
postponed naming their electors until
fall. This is taken to mean that they
may not name them at all in case the
Chicago convention adopts free coin
age. If this Is done, the party in the
East may try to maintain its state or
CARNATIONS but withdraw its support
from the national ticket. In the past,
the East has furnished most Of the
money to carry on Democratic cam
paigns, and this may be sadly missed
this year.
The acknowledged failure of the
present administration has made many
soreheads in the party, this one. hold
ing that one responsible for it. The
West and South cannot find anathemas
strong enough to apply TO President
Cleveland. He is called the ..tool of
Wall street" and his name is Kissed
and his record condemned in many of
the state conventions. In the East ,ex-
cept from a few disappointed politicians
like German, he meets with approval
and the blame for the downfall of the
Democracy is laid TO the silver ln-
natics of the West and South who
have handicapped him at every turn.
1t is not likely, though, that the East
would support him for a third term.
Concerning a candidate, the Dcmoc-
racy is all at sea The East wants Rus

nothing of either. Nearly every state
has a favorite son whom it is pushing

indefinitely. No one has had the te-
merity to suggest a vice-presidential

decidedly interesting. Delegates to

The Dcmocracy's Plight.

All the delegates to the Democratic
national convention have now been
elected and a canvass of them shows
that the free silverites lack only 3f
votes of the two-thirds necessary Ia
nominate the ticket. 1t is proposed to
contest enough seats from Michigan to
transfer that delegation to the silver
column which would make difference
of Sc votes, in which event the free
coinage men would be able to carry
things with a high hand
This convention promises to be the
liveliest one of the kind since the war.
Though the gold men realize that they
are in the minority, they have faith
that with the active support of the adj
ministration and the assistance of such
astute political managers as William
G. Whitney, Senators Ill., Murphy
Gray and Villas and ex-Gov. Russell
they will be able in some way to at

hopeless, however. The silver men

REASONS WHY.

Electors should cast their ballots for

party, of prejudice, like, dislike, SEN
tinnent or anything else, except for the
sake of securing Republican Congress
to operate for protection in harmony

is the first California Congressman to
Put on the road to success the claim of
California to S4,000.O0o due to US from
the Federal Government
Because he Is skilled legislator.
Because he Is a broadly representa-
tive man for the whole district.
Because Mr.. Johnson has commanded
in a first term more prominence for the
district than any Congressman we have
had.
Because he Is the first Congressman
from the Capital City.
Because In a second term he will be
even more useful to the district, and
can do even more for its people than he
did in his first term, new man in Con
gress being always Handicapped.
Because he Is a powerful advocate for
protection to home industries.
Because he is the friend Of silver

orist, and is In the best sense q BIZ
