The Mckinley Idea.

VIM. Mckinley offers to the work
ingman honest employment and
honest wages, paid in honest money.
But what is that to William J.
Bryan's offer to make every man a
capitalist?-News Tribune.
The Mckinley idea of honest
employment is three men conn.,
peting for every job: His idea of
honest wages is labor at the
lowest price people are willing
to accept in preference to suicide.
His idea of honest money is that
which buys the most bone and
Drawn and brain and manhood
to the dollar. His idea ofhonesty
evidently doesn't differ from that
of the devil.

Labor Day.

Before another issue Labor
Day will have come and gone.
September 9TH will see a greater
demonstration oforganized labor
than has ever been witnessed in
the annals of this country. The
hosts are marching steadily on.
The tramp of their feet can be
heard in every land.
Labor Day 1896 shines forth
with brighter light than '95.
The masses will celebrate this
day with lighter hearts than
ever before. The clouds in their
sky are shifting and the riffs of
silvery CLEANS light up the hori-
zon. DeliVerance seems near at
hand. Let us hope that the goal
which has cost so many heroic
sacrifices is within our reach.

Throughout the civilized world
there is great activity in organi-
zed labOr's ranks. Men and wO-
men are heroicly striving to bring
about a New Day. A day when
the down-trodden, oppressed,
despised can arise and shake off
the old faiths and superstitions
and breath the breath of freedom.

There are those who affect to
believe that a parity could not
be maintained were silver re-
stored to it's immemorial use.
What gives an ounce of gold
the value of twenty dollars, or
three hundred and seventy one
grains of pure silver the value of
one dollar, and what keeps at
par the five hundred million dol
lars of uncovered notes? 1t is
the stamp of this government,
it's farms, lands, mines, and the
taxing power of sixty-fve mil
lions Of people. Did not France
maintain a parity from 1903 to
to 1873 with a population rang
ing at less than one-half of the
population of the United States?
And during this period the huc-
tuation between the product of
the two metals had, perhaps,
wider range than will be known
again in a hundred years. From
1903 to 1920 the production
was four of silver to one of gold;
from 1871 to 1850 about equal;
from 1851 to 1860, four of gold
to one of silver; from 1861 to
1865, three of gold to one OF
silver; from 1866 to 1870, two
of gold to one of silver. During
all this time France maintained
by statute a ratio of fifteen and
one-half to one, not for that
country alone, but for the whole
world. If that period does not
offer sufficient proof of the power
of law under varying conditions
of supply, and tie the metals to-
gether, and keep them so, then
what proof will be required?

round of applause greeted the young
graduates at the moment the academ-
ic honors we're conferred, as their
brilliant examination showed they
well deserved being graduates.
About three hunderd books were
bestowed as premiums, which is Ger
tainly great encouragement to the
scholars. Books, however, were not
the only rewards.

loving pupils for success in studies

That the rewards bestowed are
well deserved was proved by the
creditable examination which the
pupils underwent IN the English
and in the Spanish departments last
week.
Rev. Ffther Naurel eloquently adj
dressed the audience IN Spanish, the
chief subject of his words being the
education of youth.
When all was over, the audience
was invited to the exhibition hall.
A long time was spent IN this de-
partment examining a large and
beautiful collection Of fancy work
made by the young ladies of the es-
tablishment. ghis work is some Of
the finest we have seen, and well
deserves the administration layished
on It Among many beautiful arti-
cles were noticed the following
Some handsome panel paintings in

nice embroidery and wax work, and
many exquisitely worked handker-
chiefs. To be brief, the exhibition
hall would be credit to any estab
lishment.
In word, the convent commence
ment this yeaI was grand success.
II was skilfully managed. The pro-
ficiency of the scholars was evident
to all present. May we see many
more commencements at the Incar-

.''The Execution of Capt. Nathan

was said with much feeling by Miss

which filled the hall after Miss, S.

votes were cast for Oates in the fifteen

legislature was in fact elected; that in four
black belt counties two Koib senators and
seven koib representatives were chosen.

tives were chosen. but in all these cases

Washington CITY. April "a petition
has been filed with the committee on post
Offices and postroads OF the house. signed
by NJ. p. Harden. Of Seattle. against the
passage of the bill relating to second-class
matter. introduced by Mr. Loud Mr..
Harden says that. although the Chamber
OF Commerce of Seattle by resolution IN
dorsed the passage Of this bill. he will
gamble all he is worth that there il not
three members of that body who really
understand the object and purport of the
bill. The resolution he says, was rushed
through the chamber without debate or
consideration by that body. and its in
dorsement should not receive any serious
consideration at the hands Of congress.
He also says that there are in Seattle 700
or 800 single takers not tied to any party
who are watching the result Of the vote on
said bill.
