THE POLITICIAN.

At the headquarters of the Republi'
can Congressional Campaign committee
the hustle of the campaign is already
becoming apparent Representative
Babcock, of Wisconsin, the efficient
chairman of the committee, returned
to Washington this week and began
to map out the plan of the campaign
He has not the slightest doubt about
the Republicans electing a majority of
the next House, nor of the election of
McKinley and Hobart He says the
strong. declaration of the platform
against the independent free coinage
of silver sby the United States will
probably cause the loss of a few dis
tricts in what are known as the silver
states which would otherwise have
been Republican, but that he believes
that declaration will gain more dis
tricts in other sections of the country
than it will lose in the silver states,
especially if the Chicago convention
adopts q straightout free silver plank,
as now seems probable,

and that they will not go. In fact, the
opinion is so general that Mckinley
and Hobart are going to be elected
that the most of the de par tment offic-
ials, below Secretaries and assistant
Secretaries. are not taking much in
terest in the campaign. They are at
tending to business and hoping that
the civil service rules will keep the IN
in office under the Republican admins
tration.
Among the Mckinley stories revived
by his nomination for Presiden. is one
concerning little incident at the
White House when General Hayes was
President Justice Harlan, of the U.
S. Supreme Court, called to see the
President He met Coy. Mckinley,
who was then member of the House,
coming out of the Presidents private
office just as he was going in, but he
did not know him. Being struck by
his appearance Justice Harlan asked
Gen. Hayes who he was. That, re-
piled Gen. Hayes, 'is the coming Amer
lean; his name is Mckinley. AT pres
ent he represents an Ohio district in
the House, but some day, if he lives,
he will come to the White House as
President"
The Teller boom for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, on a free sill
yer platform, is as good as knocked out
before it had fairly got started. Many
doubt whether Senator Teller would
have accepted the nomination even if
he could have gotten it, because of his
unwillingness to endorse the rest of
the Democratic platform.
1t now appears that the rumors
which were prevalent when Fitz Lee
was nominated to be Consul General to
Cuba, about his being sent there for
the specific purpose of making a report
that could be utilized to work up a
war scare for effect upon the Chicago
convention, had good foundation. But
Fitz has bungled up the job by letting
the cat out of the bag before the right
time. True, his report has not been
made public, but in letter written to
an indiscreet relative in Washington
he expressed some opinions not intend
ed for publication, but which the afore-
said relative allowed to get into print,
that made it easy enough to guess the
tenor of the report, and to add to the
certainty his friend Collector Ryan, of
who has just returned from
Cuba, where he went to help Fitz find
out what was going on, has been talk
ing to newspaper men. Whether the
war scare will materialize is a matter
Of doubt, but, owing to formal pro-
test from the Spanish minister, no one
would be much surprised to learn that
the state of Fitz Lees health had made
it necessary for him to resign and come
home very shortly, whatever may be
the result of his report. S.

At the headquarters OF the Demo
cratic congressional Commission gener-
al apathy is in command. Not wheel
will be turned there until the Chicago
convention decides what position the
Democrats will take on the financial
question. A member of that committee
says if the Chicago convention adopts
free silver plank the committee will
abandon the eastern and middle states
and devote all of it's attention to the
west and south. No matter what the
Chicago convention does no well-in-
formed Democrat has the slightest hope
of preventing the Republicans retain
ing control of the House, although, of
course, few of them will publicly ad-
NIT as much.

ials in Washington have been given

land by attending the Chicago conven-

comes with prosperity. The needs of
the laboring class are few, and they
have been accustomed in times past to
work for their board and the few
simple garments needed in that climate.
Naturally wages are not high even
now. This fact is pointed out by the
goldites with great glee in their desire
to influence our working men against
b~imetallism, but is like their other
arguments-pure sophistry. Wages
in Mexico were never so high before.
and while they are low compared with
our standards, this is due to our higher
industrial development and greater
cost of living.
So much for the laborer, the farmer
in Mexico is even more fortunate. His
products never brought better prices.
The silver dollar will buy as much in
Mexico to day as it ever would; living
is nc mor expensive, and the farmer
is therefore laying up a good surplus
for a rainy day from every years crops
In manufacturing industry Mexico is
just waking up to the fact that under
present conditions she can beat us on
our own grounds and export many
manufactured articles to this country
at a profit instead of buying everything
from US as heretofore. These are a few
of the practical results of free coinage
in u sister republic. and u~npalRtable
as they may be to the rabid single
standard advocate they are incontest,
ably true.-Western Rural.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Atkipson's message to the
legislature is an unusually interesting
document.
In reading it we have been greatly
impressed by some things he says-and
also by some things he does not say.
His silence upon certain subjects is
very able and instructive.
For instance, he tells US that he is
now compelling the banks to pay the
State two per cent. per annum for the
use of the States money.
The Governor does not explain why
it is that the State compels her citizens
to pay more taxes than the State can
use; nor Why it ia that the banks, which
charge twelve per cent. interest, can
only be made to pay two.
At none of the country banks can
money be borrowed for less than
twelve per cent, at some of the city
banks it can be had for eight; but, as a
rule, we who pay the States taxes are
compelled to pay twelve per cent. in
order to get accommodation at the
banks.
Yet, when the banks use u money,
the Governor can make them pay no
more than two per cent.
This difference between their bull
and our OK is so considerable as to be
a source of annoyance; and we would

why the great State of Georgia cannot
lend out her surplus cash for better re-
turn than a beggarly two per cent.
The Governor says that the Treas
urer informed him that the amount OF
interest due the State for the six
months ending September 1, will be
$1,000.

At the same proportion, the annual
interest earned will be SIC, 600.
At two per cent. it requires a capital
of eight hundred thousand dollars to
earn sixteen thousand interest.
Consequently it is clear from the
Governors statement that the banks

of the peoples tax-money.
This Ii pleasant for the banks. We
cannot fancy a more highly agreeable
situation-for the banks.
We pay to the State nearly a million
dollars more than the State needs; the
State lends it to the banks at two per
cent, and we go to the banks and Dor

The unchecked prosperity of Mexico

average goldite to see. He does not

the prosperity exists and is beyond

position as a poverty-stricken half-bar,
barous colony, to a place among the
civilized and wealthy nations of the

THE INTERNAL scHooLHoUsE.

In one Of our great strikes a Chicago
man said that the internal school
house" was the sole cause of such dis
turbarces; and he was right to a con-
siderable degree, barring the unpretty
adjective. The echoolhouse ia an enc
my to despotism, iDjust;c9 and wrong
of every kind. An ignorant people
can be enslaved; an intelligent people
cannot be. 1t is the spread of intelli
gence that is causing the unrest among
the people in all parts of the world. Ia
telligence made a republic Of Hawaii;
q greater degree of intelligence has
thrown Cuba into rebellion and Eu-
rope trembles in the growing intelli
gence of the masses. The evils that
have fastened upon our commercial,
social and political systems can con
tinue only by shutting up the school
house. While our boys and girls at
the age of ii years comes from our
schools with a very perfect under
standing of what ought to be, wrongs
cannot continue. Money is a powerful
element simply because of the igno
rance that does not comprehend that
q william in broadcloth is still a william,
and that worth in rags is worth never
theless. A dollar is important in q
contest with intelligent thought, and we
are making intelligent thought in our
schoolhouses every day. Our boys are
studying political ECONOMY and finance,
and thousands of them are reaching
independent conclusions. Keep tie
school house open and multiply it's
number and the ultimate reform of ex
listing evils is IS certain as the rising
and setting of the sun. Political preju
dices will be harmless, as men think
better. TIE Declaration of Indepen
dence will be more real and emphatic
to men who reason, aud the equality of
the citizen before the law will become
gospel to the intelligent. New political
parties can hope for success
only through the spread of intelligence,
and they should make the promotion
of education conspicuous in every
platform. Farmers Voice.

Prince Bismarck is supposed by

was taking the waters at Kissingen
when Bismarck was there, one day
walked straighr up to him, as
American girls will when they have
made up their mind to do a thing,
and said:

L shake hands with you?"
She took his offered hand and
attempted to kiss it, but he
promptly withdrew it, saying, "In
