REPuDlATED DEMOCRATS.

A Policy That Would Lead 70 NstisnaI
Calamity and Disgrace.
Financial dishonor is the threatened
danger now," says Mckinley, land
good men will obliterate old party lines
in united effort to uphold American
honor" This statement of the situa-
tion is strictly true, and the importance
of it cannot be overestimated. The
question is not simply one of ordinary
politics, it involves considerations of
morality, and appeals to the highest
sentiments of human nature. The
proposition of the democratic party is to
introduce a financial policy that would
inevitably lead to national calamity
end disgrace: As the case now stands,
the credit of our government is equal
to that of any other in the world, be-
cause we have always dealt honestly
and properly with our creditors, and
paid them what we owe them in the
best of money. The Chicago platform
declares in effect that we should change
this course, and resort to trickery and
rascality. 1t points out that by debas-
ing our currency we can gain an advan-
tage in the way of making dishonest
dollar serve the purpose of an honest
one, and the people are asked to indorse
this scandalous method of doing busi-
ness with those who have trusted us
and felt secure against any form of
cheating on our part. But for their con-
fidence in our integrity, we should not
have borrowed money from them at any
price, and the democratic party now
tells us that it would be good thing
for us to betray that confidence.
Such an issue does not relate to the
difference of opinion which makes men
republicans on the one hand and demo-
Gratis on the other. It goes beyond COM
mon political interests and pertains to
ihe matter of national honor. The rep
utation of the country for financial
ghtforwardness is Mt stake. Repu-
diation is declared to be justifiable
way Of paying debts, at least to the ex-
tent of one-haf of our obligations. In
other words, we are told that it would
be fine stroke of business to pay only
so cents where we have promised to pay
100 cents. That is what the Chicago
platform means. and no intelligent cit

IT is very remarkable fact that the
greatest and best cooks have always
been men. Cooking is supposed to be
essentially the province of women, but
all the big posts of the cooking world
are held by men, and of these the
French and Swiss are most expert.
Few women possess the initiatory
power OF concocting new dishes, or of
exercising the startling originality in
the kitchen that they use with such
marvellous results in the dressmaker's
or milliner's workroom.

Industrial Independc

We are continent, not an island, oul
resources are plural, not singular. In a
speech made in 1874, Webster said that
he defied anyone conversant with oul
early history from 1887 to 1850 to deny
that protection was not the leading mo.
tive in the formation of the new govern
ment. One of the first acts of congress
was tariff act, passed July 4, 1889.
and, being moderately protective. it
was a Declaration of independence

1t Will Be Republican Year.

There are still few who doubt that
this is going to be a republican year
Well, it is. One of the most republican
years we have had in this country since
the days Greeley went to defeat, the
madhouse and the grave, all within a
month. The people are not in a mood
to let the follies of populism and the
trucklings of democracy carry them
any further into the valley and shadow
of death. They are going to reverse the
engine. The American people are not
going to permit any further trifling
with their political convictions. What
this country has passed through during
the past three years is comparable only
with that through which it passed
early in the go, except that there
has been no direct loss of life. If the
democratic party with it's populistic
principles shall be allowed to continue
in power another four years uncer-
tainty will become more uncertain and
ruin will become more ruinous. The
success of the democratic party at the
polls this year would mean the with
drawal of millions of dollars more from
the circulation and the industries Of
this country. We believe that the peo-
pie see this and that they are going
to act accordingly. The crying need
now is to place this country back on
stable foundation. Almost any,
foundation will do-so it is stable.
That is the temper Of the American peo-

AN OPINION OF WEIGHT.
Ex-Oengressman Fellows Says Mckinley
Will he Elected.

Will he Elected.
Ex-Congressman John r. Fellows,
who shed tears at Chicago over the ne
cessity Of refusing to follow the demo-
cratic leaders on q silver platform, is
still firm, if not fearful. He passed
through Chicago recently en- route to
Virginia, and expressed himself as con-
fident Of McKinley's election.
"Are you in favor of the nomination
Of q separate ticket?" was asked of
him.
II shall express no opinion as to tha:
now, and will leave that to the demo-
Gratis Of the country to decide" he an
Ewered. -. ...~r-
Have you encountered much of the
increased silver strength that is said
to be showing itself in New York;"
"Oh, there is some silver sentiment
in New York, but the people are over
'whelmingly against silver, and the
country will find that out before very
long,"
"Will the reported accessions to the
silverites among the agricultural voters
of New York offset the loss to the demo-
cratic ticket of the gold democrats?"
"No; and New York state will go for
Mckinley by from 100000 to 10000
majority, and the majority may be
greater than the last estimate. In fact,
there is no telling how big majority
Mckinley will get. The sound business
interests of the state are against the
Chicago ticket"
what do you think will be the gen.
eral result of the election, and will the
western states vote for the democratic
candidate?"
II presume that many of the west
ern states will vote for the silver candi-

that the, people Of this country win re-
pudiate the credit of their country, and
that they will indorse the anarchistic

DODGING THE ISSUE.

Issue.

Democrats Not Willing to Face the Tarin
Issue.
One of the most noticeable things in
connection with the present political
situation is the unmistakable desire on
the part of the members of the demo
cratic party to get away from the tariff
issue in the coming political contest
and to fight out the battle on the finan-
cial question. That some Importance
must be attached TO the financial and
money question generally no one will
doubt. But republicans, everywhere
will do well to note that the Importance
of that question has been largely aug
mented by the action of the members OF
the free trade party in their frantic de-
sire to get away from the consequences
which have naturally resulted from
their violent assault upon the indus
tries of the United States.

WAITING SECOND ADVENT.
American Citi zens Living i'll Pales-

Consul Wallace at Jerusalem rep 1rts to
the State Department that according to
the consular records of his office it ap
pears that there are $40 citizens of the
United States residing in Palestine.
OF this number 43S are Jews, who are
only nominally Americans having lived in
the United states Just long enough TO oh
tain citizens papers and passports. The
majority of these emigrated from Russia
to the United States, and thence TO Pales-
tine. OF the other 80 American citizens
nearly all have come here because Of pc
culiar religious views, aud among Item
may be found all possible shades of Chris
tian beliefs.
The one idea which seems to poss ,ss all,
to a greater or less degree, is that Of the
second advent of our Lord This is by all
considered to be an event soon to take
place in Jerusalem. Some OF them, during
the period OF waiting, are suffering for the
necessaries of life, but are content to en-
dure privation in the hope of being pres
ent and witnessing the Lords coming.

as they call themselves, have recently heen
increased by an addition of III Swedish
Americans, mostly from Chicago. Just now

Anglo Venezuelan treaty is to be based.
The protocol, however must bc sanctioned
by Congress before becoming operative.
Minister -Andrade was the guest OF honor
at an official fare well banquet last night.
The press still continues to discuss the
protocol. One article which has excited
some attention appeared in the Prcgonero.
1t was written by former minister of
foreign affairs, Dir. Puldo, who cniticises
the action OF the United States with as
perity. DR.. Pulido suggests that the Ameri-
can government has looked largely to its
own interests in arranging terms with Eng
land for the settlement Of the boundary
dispute in the. Yurnai and Delta territories.
He adds that the United States has not full
filled its promises in the matter. The ar
ticle also says that IL was hoped and be-
lieycd in Venezuela that the administration
at Washington would drive the British be-
yond the Essequibo.
FL Timpo and the other papers comment
upon the protocols In general they express
the opinion that the terms should be ac-
cepted, but with amendments. All without
exception say that there should be
change in the method OF representation in
