Takes All the Flash Out of Emperor WILL
INNS Stage lightning.

London, Eng, Jan. 1S.-The Times
correspondent at Berlin says:
"It is a. singular and a significant pre-
dude TO tomorrow's celebration that the
Vorwaerts has been able to forestaH
the publication of the emperor's decree
to commemorate the day by certain
acts Of clemency and remission of SEN
fences in favor of the members of the
Prussian army Twenty-Five years
ago Socialism was regarded as a harm
less eccentricty which Bismarck him
self deemed il polite to encourage as
eounterpoise 10 the recalcitrant middle
classes. Then the Socialists failed to
obtain one seat in the reichstag; now
they possess forty-seven. The revela-
ton of this decree from the recesSes Of
the ministry of war is startling proof
of its wide ramifications and its unbiqui
tous influence. The sullen roar of the
Socialist torrent will be drowned to-
morrow by the measured tramp Of
troops, the thunder Of SaIuting batter
les and the cheers of the crowds. But
there are some in whose ears will still
sound the shrill vote Of derision struck
by The VOrwaerts on the eve Of the
national festival.
The Chronicle has a Berlin dispatch
which saws:
The decree Of amnesty. as published
in the Vorwaerts, applies TO offenders
whose SentencsS do not exceed SIX
weeks in prison or $50 marks fine, those
only being excepted who were guilty Of
insulting their superiors, or ill-treating
their interiors. or OF dessruon.
The rescripts begins with the remark:
THE emperor intends also 70 pardon
military offenders.
The Norwaerts says this: ''PresUm-

week. The assurance that the govern
ment bond issue will be fully subscribed
does not prevent the existence of a feel
ing Of suspense pending the closing of
the bids on Feb. .. Even with the modi
ficatiOns embodied in Secretary Car
isles circular of last Thursday. which
extends the payment after the first 20
per cent, in allOtments over a period OF
three months, there is thought to be
reasonable danger of disturbance in
the money market. The dissolution
of the Morgan bond syndicate, announc
ed on Wednesday last, was no doubt
inevitable, as no reason could be found
for its continued existence. 1t would
seem, however, that this action rem
derS the preparations to bid for the
bonds and to pay for them after allOt-
ment more scattered, and therefore
more likely to produce an effect on
rates for money, 10 ay nothing Of the
probably increased Withdrawals of gold
from the treasury with would result.
Efforts TO obtain gold for bond SUBJ
ScriptIOn purposes continue, and a pre-
MUM Of 120D&4 per cent or a little higher
had been paid for supplies, the same
rates being also quoted for legal ten
ders. Large transactions on this ba-
SIS occurred early in the week, both in
specie and legal tender, though the i'm
premium has fallen off corresponding
The anomalous spectacle has been pre-
sented Of gold both arriving from and
being shipped to Europe at the same
time, the former movement being an
artificial one, profitable only on ac-
count Of the premium referred to above
II the statement is true, that the
specie received here was simply a re-
tu1n of amounts that has been shipped
from this country, and that in some
cases the original boxes had not even
been opened, it is evident that the pro-
cess simply increases the drain on the
treasury reserve. Under these circunn-
stances, il is easy to understand both
the continued absence of public support
and the hesitation of large speculative
interests TO move the market The
absence Of selling pressure and the i'm
prOvement Of prices for Americans
in London caused covering of shorts
and some buying by the smaller trad
ers during the early part of the week.
LOndCa's purchases were, however, on
limited scale and represented the
closing Of professional bear accounts
in that market, and at the close of the
week the tendency abroad in regard TO
our stocks was less favorable.

NOT, WHO CAN BE ELECTED
But Whe VIII be the Best Man After He Is
Elected

Cincinnati. Ohio. Jan. 1.-THE Com
mercial Gazette tomorrow viii publish
a plea for Mckinley as the fittest man
| for the Republican candidacy for pres
| ident, in its series of articles on this
subject. 1t was written by Senator
John NJ. Thurston. 1t is d very elo-
quent document. In the outset it says
that the vital question before the Re
publicans is not who can lead the party
10 victory. Whoever may be nominal
ted will be elected. The question is:
Who can best meet the requirements Of
the present national situation and best
insure such an administration as Will
guarantee the permanent prosperity of
the United States. The article con-
tinues:
That man should be a man of I'M
compromising convictions; one who has
consistently advocated sound princi-
pies at all times and in all places;
man whom defeat and adversely have
been powerless TO cast down; a man
about whose character and principles
there will be no guess work among the
people.
The time is not opportune for any
states favorite son. He must be in
the highest sense son of all the states;
knowledged as the leading exponent of
the great controlling issue is protection
to American industries.
THE opening of the factories is the
great desideratum. The questions of
money and finance are secondary mat
ters in comparison. The onroe doc
trine will not be an issue. inaSmuch as
all parties are one party in favor Of its
full enforcement. Any candidate whom
the Republican party dominates will
stand upon a platform pledged TO that
character of bi-meIallism which guar
antees equal purchasing and debt-pay-
ing power to every dollar authorized by
the United States.
There is one man whose qualities
presumably meet all these requirements
a man, not of one idea. but of breadth
and versatility of intellect and acquire
ments that has enabled him to gather
renown on every field of American
achievement.
'And this man, upon whose shield
malice can find no blemish and Islander
no stain; this man whose whole life has
been conSecra ted to his God, and his
country; this man whose intense loyalty
and devotion TO American interests
make him the ideal leader for the SUI
preme hour; this man of the people
this uncompromising friend of those
trior without fear and without reproach
our candidate for the presidency of the
United States is William Mckinley"
The article then recites the history Of
Mckinley as a soldier and adds that
this is a good time for a soldier candi-
date. This country may soon be con-
fronted with the gravest interna tional
complcat tons. The Monroe doctrine
