Plat

There is n cause for the marveling
Of the anti Mckinley bosses over the
Mckinley tidal wave which is sweep
ing over the Republican party. 1t is
a craze for which no reasonable ex-
PLANTATION eau be offered. -Four years
ago Mckinley was condemned almost
as vigorously by the republicans rs by
the democrats. Members Of his own
party admitted that he was a 1one-
idea" extremist who could not DO
trusted to direct legislation. McKin-
leyism was universally execrated as
the cause Of most OF the woes into
which the country was then entering.
The democratic campaign, directed al
most wholly against the Mckinley
idea OF protection, resulted in a land
slide.
Now thus sentiment in the republic
can masses is reversed. Mckinley is
hailed as the deliverer of the country
from the pinch Of hard times. His
name is associated with prosperity
Republican leaders who attempt to
combat the uprising are driven to the
wall. The Mckinley worshipers re-
fuse to listen to resaon. Their devo-
ton ID blind and fanatical.
The truth is that the blind devotion
to McKinleyism is founded on a delu-
sive hope of fiat prosperity, born Of the
distresses OF hard times. The McKin-
ley worshipers cherish the delusion
that in some mysterious way McKin-
ley's election will cause u complete
change OF industrial and commercial
conditions. In the current language
OF this belief "the wheels OF factories
and mills will begin to turn, cold
chimneys will smoke, trade will re-
sumo and labor will find employment
at good wages" AS one OF the repub-
lican bosses said with n snecr. "iive
minutes after Mckinley is inaugur-
ated the man who has goods to sell
will get 90 per cent mor for them,
the laborer out Of employment will
get nm offer OF a job at high wages
and the man who had a dollar will
find two in his pocket" Reason is
oyerthrown in n craze of this kind.
All TINT wise men can do is to await
the inevitable disappointment which
will re:establish her sway.-St. Louis

whether the financial plank OF the st.
Louis platform il u step toward the
free coinage OF silver howis for pro-
lection and says that neither the Ga
zette nor Brother Bragg will leave the
Republican party until it finds Il bet
ter party to so to-"
We did not ask Brother Bragg to
leave the Republican party. We only
wanted our mind set at rest on the
question we asked him. Now, as to
whether there is u better party thnn
the Republican TO go to, we al only
Say that the Prince Of Darkness
would not exchange his seat near the
fiery furnace OF the Internal regions
for u place at the foot OF the great
white throne. Why? Because he is
well pleased with his surroundings
and likes the atmosphere OF the lower
regions. So it is with Bro. Bragg.
He would rather be Il porter to the
Republican gold trust than wear fine
linen in the palaces OF the silver
hosts. He is willing to aid i'll the I'M
doing OF Nevada il he can only sit ut
the feet OF the golden calf.
AS a consistent Republican Bro.
Bragg stands firmly on the st. Louis
platform and swallows the golden
pill with evident relish. With him it
il party above principle, II place
among the elect of the Republican
faith above the prosperit! not only Of
Nevada but of the people OF the whole

Senator Jones ON Tillnlun.

The writer met Senator John p,
Jones shortly after Senator Tillman
made his great speech in the Senate
denouncing the perpetrators OF the
bond issue. The Eastern newspapers
had been using the most Illuminating
adiectives i'll their dictionaries of
vituperation to express their opinions
Of Tillman's remarks, and some Curl
osity WIS felt rs to Senator Jones
opinion OF it. Asked what he
thought of the effort the Senator
replied by telling the following sto-
ry:
@Many years ago q Nevada preacher,
noted in the sagebrush State us well
for his sound sense rs for his piety,
was driving n mule team up the GEL
ger grade. When about Dead Mans
Point the team baked. The preacher
exhausted during the succeeding two
hours all the opportunities OF per-
suasion consistent with his cloth, but
to no purpose. Finally, when he had
about given up in despair, a traveller
came along, and seeing the worthy
ministers predicament, offered his
services. He grabbed the wheel
mule by the bit, kicked him in the
belly and applied to his ~muleship all
the rich and variegated explosives OF
which the western mule driver is ia
nous. When he got around to the
last II the team started.
The minister, beaming with salts
faction, said: My friend, you have
expressed what | have long felt but

TIE FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.

The cry OF @fifty-cent dollar raised
by gold men in the East, is reacting
upon employers. At Hazleton. Penn
s~ylyania. many Of those employing
large numbers Of men, have expert
enced considerable trouble. The men
got ii into their heads that silver dol
lars and paper money were not worth
more thnn half their face value, and
at the monthly paydays refused to
take anything but gold coin. One
man, n contractor, who employed 300
men, could not get gold enough to
pay them. The men hald n meeting
and decided that they would he gold
men commercially, IL their employers
we're gold mon politically, and that
their labor should be paid for on q
Sound money basis, only. The
contractor called Mt bis bank and
wanted $1,000 in gold. lilo was dumb.
founded when the teller told him lie
cOnld not get TINT much gold in the
country. Out OF sll.0O0,0O on de-
posite ip tho %Gorcrol bahia in DC
country. il was estimated that not
oue-lalf the amount OF gold which no
required was in circulation. Tho Ia
borcrs refused TO take more than iivo
dollars in silver or paper, and tho ION.
tractor was greatly embarrassed.
That is treating tho gold man right
They have been insisting that silver
dollars arc lfty.cent dollars, and their
employees arc taking them Mt their
word Out OF si0.0O0,00O on deposit
in tho banks there IL not $500 in gold
coin and the lnborers whom they en-.
ploy will not take anything but gold
for their wages. People who do not
handle a ten.dollar gold piece in their
business IN six months, insist on the
single gold standard, and when their
ploycs follow their example they can.
not find gold enough in tho banks to

COMMITTEE on COUNTY BUILDINGS.
To the Foreman OF the Grand Jury:
We, your committee appointed to
examine the county buildings, have
carefully examined the courthouse
and Jail, inside and out. We find the
plaster oil in the courtroom and has
been for some months; the walls in
side the courthouse cracked and
grimy; the carpets worn ont and rag
ged; the inside wall of the Jail black
and dirty; and both buildings inside
in very bad repair. The matter has
been called to the attention Of the
Commissioners on several occasions.
Our District Judge has requested that
the courtroom be thoroughly over
hauled, renovated and rcfurnlshed,
yet no action has been taken. We
believe we cypress the sentiments of
all our taxpayers when we say we
feel pride enough to want OUR county
buildings to compare favorably with
other like buildings situate in other
and less favorable localities.
We rccommed that the entire court
house building be thoroughly re-
paired inside and out and refurnishcd
so far ns necessary and i'll compati-
bility with our standing rs a county.
The Jail cleaned, whitened and paint
ed rs needed.
Many OF these changes have been
recommended by our Hon. District
Judge and we request that in case OF
further unnecessary delay on the part
of the Commissioners that he order

South Deer Isle.
Mrs. c. B. PIERCE is still in poor health,

The eantata ''Santa Claus Arrival" is to
be presented Christmas evening in Music
hall, at the Landing.
Mr.. Cobb, of Boston, who is at the
Landing on business connected with the
stone works, made short call here Friday
in company with A. X. Warren.
The friends of Mrs Nettie Green, of
Deer Isle village, were shocked to learn of
her sudden death on Monday after only a
few days illness. The funeral took place
Thursday.
In mentioning the sum raised at the
Thanksgiving service the scribe inadver
tently made it appear as if the church
here had the benefit, but the sum raised
was to pay a debt on the church at the
Landing, Mr.. Folsom having charge of
both places.
Rev. Mr.. Folsom was taken i'll Sunday
evening at the close of his meeting. He
had felt quite i'll through the day, but
kept to his work in both pupits, and at
the close of the evening service at the
Landing he was unable to get home. He
was assisted to the Ocean View, and WAS
berlin was called and restoratives applied,
and on Monday he was able to be out.
