MACS THE ISSUE.

Mark Hanna hit the nail on the head
when he said that the real issue in this
campaign for patriotic Americans Is the
election Of Mckinley. Everything else
should he subordinated to the question OF
placing Mckinley in the White House
and preventing the capture Of the execu-
tive department of the government by
the representatives Of disorder and mis-
.-Minneapoli Tribune.
Why, of course. What are the people
thinking about when they attempt to
oppose Mckinley? Is there no law to
prevent this opposition TO- the great man
from Canton? Hanna hit the nail ON
the head in a most decided way. None
ever did it better But; thank heaven,
Mckinley lis 50 full OF protection that he,
no doubt, can protect himself But then
think that the real issue in this campaign
is the election of Mckinley. And that's
what Bryan thinks, and SO say We all.
But let everything else be sub0rdinated
to the placing Of Mac where he wants to
go. Let him capture the executive yes,
captures the word-for If he does not
capture it, representative Of disorder
and misrule will be sure to get it. But
heaven forbid. 'Rah for Mac. He's the
issue. In November he'll be something
else-a Renaissance, perhaps.

THuRsToN's CHARGES.

Senator Thurston, Of Nebraska, In a
speech at Madison recently, accused W.
J. Bryan with being in the employ Of the
silver men and said that he knew this OF
his OWN knowledge. Senator Stewart
as will be seen elsewhere, denied it In
every particular, and called upon Thurs
ton for the proof. Thurston has kept
quiet ever since: He spoke in this city
last night, but what he may have said or
may not have said will not be known Tor
publication in this paper until next
week. It may be confidently stated that
be played the part of the crawfish in the
most approved fashion.
Thurston should turn his observing
lenses upon himself. Ever since he
was anything in the eyes of the public
he has. been the paid employee of me1ci-
less corporations. He is now ostenst-
bly,. serving the people in the United
States senate, but it is only ostensibly.
He is acting the part of the thief who is
the first to cry out for the arrest Of some
one else to be held responsible for his
the thief,s) own depreciation. The sal.
aried attorney Of such gigantic swindle
as. the Union Pacific railroad, should be
careful about accusing others of being
in questionable employment.

MORToN's HUMBUd.

Senator Morton made a political speech
in Nebraska recently in which he said
there was no conspiracy in the demone-
tization OF silver in 1873; that everything
was done in the most open manner, and
that the question had been discussed tor
two years previously.
Morton is rapidly learning the ways OF
the demagogue The clause in the bill
relating to decentralization of silver was
so cunningly devised and carefully con-
cealed by misleading phraseology that
those VINO gave the bill any attention
never dreamed of the national sWindle
it contained. Those behind the meas
ure of course knew we'll its purpose and
effect, but the country knew nothing OF
1t. Even President Grant, who signed
the enactment, did not know that 1t de-
monetized silver All this matter is Sc
well known to the people now that it Is
not necessary to discuss it, SO that it is
worse than useless for Mr.. Morton to
take the stump and make an attempt to
further fool the people. He should be
satisfied with the extent to which they
have been fooled and robbed and trodden
upon already without casting any I'M
pntation upon their intelligence by en-
deavoriug to make them believe what is
universally known as lie.

IRELAND's CONVENTION.

During the past week the mail advices
and cable news from Ireland continued
to confirm the previous announcements
that the Irish national convention, which
opens in Dublin, September /, Is shaping
towards becoming a great historical gath

popu,ous centers Of England and Scot
land the Nationalist societies are appoint
ing delegations, and discussing the prob
able platform Of the convention, with the
heartiest enthusiasm. Advices from
South Africa and Australia are like those
from the United States and Canada
From every quarter Of the globe, where q
nucleus Of Irishmen can be found, suffl-
cling form an association, delegates are

present the mass Of the Irish race, but
will have besides the representative
power of numbers working leverage

great united party, That the convention
will heal existing schisfns and regererate

HoW's THIS

Chicago firms are offering to pay their
employees IN Mexican dollars, but strangely
enough the employees object, though the
Mexican dollar contains more silver than
the Americans Paul Globe.
\ And yet the gold men are continually
harping that the silver dollar under free
coinage would only be worth 50 cents that
it's intrinsic worth and It's value as money
would only be about half OF it's face value
But what would be the use OF having our
silver dollar worth more actually in silver
when It could, like the Mexican dollar, be
made less valuable than a dollar BY legis-
;1ation? Does not this mean that It is the
fat Of the government that gives money
its value and, if q coin, not because It con-
tains more Or less of given commodity?

The st. Paul Globe recently stated that
a number of Protestant olergymen had
held a conference as to the best methods
to be adopted to defeat the silverites
and among the gentlemen present was
Arch bishop Ireland. At the meeting it
was concluded that all should be in read
mess to take an active part in the cam
paign after Sept. i, and that they should
hold themselves in readiness when called
upon to make speeches in favor OF: the
gold standard. It appears, however
that the conference had an existence
only in the brain OF the reporter, at least
so tar as Archbishop Ireland is con-
cerned. The latter, when interviewed,
said he knew nothing OF suoh a meeting
and added in substance that when he has
anything to say concerning free silver or
any other political question, that he
would never think of taking the stump
for the purpose of expressing his views.

VIOLENTLY TWISTED.

Senator Wolcott was elected to the
United States senate by the Republican
party, and now the Colorado Republicans
who have bolted have the impudence to
ask him to resign because he remains
true TO the party that elected him. Truly,
the minds of our free silver friends are
becoming violently twisted.-Minneapo-
lis Tribune.
Our contemporary and all other gold
bug papers show violently twisted minds
themselves, when they applaud the 1uen
who bolted the regularly constituted Demo-
cratic convention at Chicago. They
point out what heroic and patriotic fel-
lows they were in taking the step they
did. ,
When Wolcott was elected he was in
! harmony with his party. In the senate
he did as much aug any other man in adj
vocating free coinage and lately said that
if it came to a choice between fealty to
party and adherence to free silver that
the latter would have his unqualified
support. And yet he had not the courage
of his convictions, even supposing he had
the convictions. When the test came he
deserted the principles believed in by
the vast majority OF the people Of his
state. Why should they not ask him to
step down and out? He is not now in
accord or sympathy with the majority Of
his party, and consequently does not rep
resent it. The Tribune, day in and day
out, Gales upon Congressman Towne, Of
this state. to resign because he threw In
his fortunes with the free silver men,
and yet the majority OF his constituents
in the Sixth district are openly for free
silver. Why should Towne resign and
Wolcott hold his place? IS.
It would appear plain that the minds
Of some OF our newspaper friends are
more violently twisted than are the
minds of the people in Colorado.
