absolutely assured, that the IA
business interests of the country brt
prosperity OF which involves the pro ! /
perity Of ali our people, could show
10 the world the faith felt inthe wis
dom Of the Republican party. Thel
Republican who doeAlot feei his heart
swell with pride merely to belong
10 an organization which can inspire
such faith FAUST be cold-biooded in
deed, Tie news columns of the press
since the election OF Mckinley and
Hobart was announced have, by just
printing the cold facts about the
actual, not prospective, revival ini
almost every part Of the country and
in almost every line of industry and
business, paid the highest tribute of
praise to the Republican party ever
paid to an! political organization in
any country in the history Of the
world.
II is now for the Republicans to
show to the world that this tribute
was deserved. No one who is familiar
with the life and record of President
elect Mckinley and of those of the
Republicans elected to the fifty-fifth
Congress and those holding seats in
the Senate can entertain doubt on
that subject With President Me
hinley to suggest and Speaker Reed,
the Republican majority in the
House, and the hoped for Republican
majority in the Senate, to execute,
the legislation viii be such as will eX-
pand and make permanent the bust
ness boom which started the hour
that Republican, success was assured
~
and which will, it is confidently be-
lieved continue to grow and grow
until the country enjoys long era of
the greatest prosperity in its history
And one of the good things about it
will be that the misguided POpocrats
who tried so hard to prevent Repub-
lican success will be equal sharers in
the general prosperity. it ought to
make them see things as they really
are, instead of as they are represented
by demagOgues who try to trade upon
"hard times and public credulity.

with no Republicans who believe that

The diplomatic service offers Oppor-
tunities. \ man has only to be
patriotic American to represent his
country satisfactorily abroad, but a
member of the Cabinet must be in
sympathy with all the policies of the
head of the administration under
which he serves, or he disarranges
machinery which ought to run
smoothly to get the best results.
Senator Quay stopped in Washing
ton long enough while ON his way to
Florida, where he will fish and rest
until Congress meets, toexpress the
opinion that there was a probability
that the House Emergency Tariff Bill,
passed at the last session and held up
in the Senate by the refusal of some
of the Republican silver senators tq5;
support it unless free loiIf,
amendment was attached, I-.ssr
taken up and passed at the inSfNds
session. Senator Quay did not emu, 4.
into details-he seldom does-as ,v
why he thought the bill might be
passed. 1t is supposed that he thinks
as many others do, that the Republi-
can silver senators, seeing the abso-
lutte impossibility of securing silver
legislation, will vote for the bill which
would, if enacted into law, provide
the government with revenue enough
to make the receipts more than equal
the expenditures. While Mr.. Cleve-
land has never said that he would
