Major Mckinley FASTENED to register
so as to be sure of at least one vote in
Ohio.
A great many people think that
the best way to argue politics is with
club.
1t seems that Turkey will not be
eaten by the royal bosses of Europe
for sometime yet.
Cleveland said that Mckinley was
mortgaged man yet now he is try
ing to elect him.
Grosvenor says that Mckinley is
already elected. He means he is as
much as he ever will be.
Those metal busts of Major Nc
Kinley are probably the explosions
of his mortified silver record
Hanna, it is rumored, has an aver
sion to October elections especially of
the Florida and Georgia variety.
-s
Hanna would better leave the talk
ing to Mckinley, who is an adept at
talking without saying anything.
Mark Hanna is still engaged in
rescuing states which he has all
along asserted were out of danger.
OF course fear had nothing to do
with Secretary Carlisles declining to
divide time with Senator Blackburn.
1t may excite the Republicans to
learn that all the New England
States are likely to go the same way.
There is not single labor paper
in the United States supporting the
apostle of protection. Singular, isn't
it?
Major Mckinley gave the Parkers-
burg visitors some more startling in
formation about the states mineral
- wealth.
Saturdays have been Major Nc
Kinley's record breakers but it will
be Tuesday that will be the major
record breaker.
Ii the report is true that Weyler
has succeeded in killing foot ball
player in Cuba, he may finally put
down the rebellion.
Every time new batch of checks
is received by Mark he claims that
another Democratic state will break
from its mornings

DR.. McCollum's Pension.

Through the trickery and falsehood
OF the men sent out by Lochren, Hoke
Smith and company, some half a mil
lion dollars has been paid out for the
perjured testimony of Waite, Russell,
Perham and the gang of unconscion-
able scoundrels employed to do their
dirty work. In this infamous work
because DR.. McCoilum would not per-
jure himself in the Van Leuven case,
his pension was reduced to four dol
lars month. He is now through the
efforts of his friends and the able eff
forts OF congressman Updegraff, re-
stored to the pension rolls at $72 per
month, the reissue certificate No. 23,-
5SS, dating his pension from March 4, ,
1890, deducting therefrom the meagre
amounts paid under the reduced rates.
DIR. McCollum was private in Co. c,
2Srd Wisconsin volunteer infantry.
and has been suffering, and is now en-
tirely helpless from paralysis. Yet
the ghonls employed by Lochrcn & Co.,
and OF whose good character they are
always ready to certify, ordered
his pension cut down. In the hue
and cry of the pension department
about pesions frauds it would seem to
have been another instance of much
ado about nothing.

Give us the Rig Dollar.

50 long as there is no prospect of Sc
caring for Il long time at least, any
international action on the silver
question, and SO long as there is u
constantly growing demand by the
people of this country that silvershall
be coined and used as money by this
government, why not call conven-
ton and see if some basis of coinage
could not be agreed upon? Let there
be coined the big dollar-say 2G to l.
or 10 to Ia dollar with enough silver
In 1t SO that it eau stand alone. Then
open tire mints and turn out the cart
wheels. This would stop this free
silver craze, would be strictly good
nnanclerins and mighty good politics.
TINS can be done without interna-
tIon;tl action and these dollars would
be good money for the grangers if not
for the bankers. OF course the feI-
lows who are for the cheap money
idea would oppose this. Rockford
Register
And such dollar would be just as
profitable for export as is the bullion.
and would give the country no relief
against the competition of silver US
ing countries, as it would enable
Great Britain to lay down wheat and
cotton from India and its Asiatic
provinces at present ruinous prices,
with which the American producer
must continue to compete. The dol
lar of t6 to l, as we'll as the United
States can stand alone whenever
there is patriotism enough in CON
gress to say so.
