1.-THE most remarkable change Of the
present campaign" says the New Al
bany Qnd.) Ledger, has occurred al
Mr. McKinley's home, Canton, Ohio.
The Union Veteran League of that town
is composed Of forty-two members, all
heretofore Republicans. At a meeting
held on Saturdy night the sense of the
league was taken on Bryan and free
silver, and the vote resulted in thirty
eight for Bryan. Afterward the league
voted unanimously to attend the great
Bryan meeting at Cleveland Monday
evening and head the procession to well
come Mr.. Bryan to that city, and escort
him to the place Of speaking. All these
are members Of Major McKinley's own
regiment"

the title Of the new and commendable

The attitude Of the majority Of Repub-
lican organs on the financial question
is certainly confusing. On the one hand,
they tell us that they only want the gold
standard until an International agree
ment can be secured; on the other. they
give us "unanswerable arguments in IA
vor of the gold standard"

One Reason

Whatever a mans individual opin-
ions are on the moral questions" said
Mr.. Mckinley to the assembled preach
ers of the United Brethren, 'all men pre-
fer that public officials should be of high
moral character and moral worth"
Perhaps that is why Mr.. Hanna let Nc
kinley have the nomination instead of
taking it himself.-New York Journal.

The official immigration report of IL

The official immigration report of the
Argentine republic shows that the num-
ber of immigrants who landed in the
republic in 1896 was 61,226 (Which in
cludes 1912 families), showing an in
crease of 6506 as compared with the
year 1894. A great improvement was no =
ticeable in the social condition of the
immigrants, and this was attributed to
the fact that they had been induced to
proceed to the republic by relations or
friends already settled there.

The Kansas City Times says: "With
poverty sitting at the hearthstone of 10,
000.0 900 out of the 10000, 900 homes in the
United States, the Republican campaign
fund for buying voters is said to be
500, 900, 900, or four times greater than it
has ever been before. Do the political
scoundrels who have raised that cnor-

masses prosperous by corrupting their
morals?"

MISTAKING HIS VOCATION

Ambrose Blerce Is one OF tne peSt
known journalists Of the Pacific coast
In the last few months Mr.. Hearst of the
New York Journal has been endeavoring
to find a field for Bierce's vitrolic pen in
the east and for some time Bierce did
brilliant work in Washington by his fear
less and poignant pillory of the funding
bill Mr.. Bierce is very much less sue
cessful in his present post of editing a
causerie of literary criticism. He has
not only been rash enough to try his
hand at versification but has seen fit to
indulge in captious and unreasonable
criticism of those who were masters of
just the sort of conceits that Mr.. Bierce
so dismally essays. The late H. G. Bun
ner and Eugene Field are the victims OF
Bierce's disfavor. The former he calls
"a man of mediocre general ability
with a happy knack of stimulation that
enabled him to initiate any other writer
that he admired" and he prates about "a
generation charmed with the infanteese
of Eugene Field" The work of James
Whitcomb Riley he stigmatizes as 'co-
agulated vulgarity" and speaks of 1.-The
impossible niger lore of Joel Chandler
Harris" and of 1.-The hell tribe detesta-
bles of Mary Murfree."
What has Mr.. Bierce to offer us as an
improvement on the priced work of
these writers, whose names are house.

hold his latest pastoral effusion:

Yes, the bullfrog Is a-croaking
And the dudelet Is a-smoking
Cigarettes;
And the hackman is Attacking

Still more hopelessly inane and in
sanely driveling is Mr.. Bierce's venture
in political versification:

Good Mr.. Mckinley

There can be but one explanation for
Bierces offensive presumption in at
tacking the ability Of popular writers
and at the same time having the impu-
dence to thrust upon an unoffending
public his own misbegotten "verses." Mr..
Bierce must be in search of notoriety,
however ill-famed, and he realizes that
by attacking those writer's who are dear
to the American public he may get a
share of it. In some ways it is fortunate
that Bierce has given to the public speci-
mems of what presumably he deems
nathan "coa e11la ted vulparitv'' nor I'm
worthy art, for they supply the best
| proof that Bierce can be neither a critic
| nor lover of real poetry.
Mr.. Bierce is evidently mistaken in his
