luton providing that no bonds shall be
issued under the existing law until the
president shall have communicated to

THE nail trust has admitted that
while compelling all buyers Of nails in
this county to pay 1925 per keg for
wire nails and $3.50 per keg for cut
nails, in carload lots at the mills, it
sells the same nails to foreign buyers
for 81 less per key. 1t might be in
order to state that there is an ad
valOrem duty on nails Of % per cent,
and that the difference in price is the
cost of transportation and the duty a
foreign product would be compelled to
pay to get into competition with the
nail trust in the United States markets.
It is admitted that nails can be manu-
featured in the United States cheaper
than they can be abroad, and this dis
elimination is but another example of
how a protective tariff reduces re-
venues to the government and taxes
the people to no purpose but the en-
richment of the manufacturing barons.

MKINLEYIs MONEY VIEWS.


Everything republican this year
seems to be going McKinleyward. The
California republicans last Wednes-
day instructed for Mckinley and free
silver. The next day the republicans
Of Indiana instructed for Mckinley
and gold standard.
The Ohioan seems to be all things to
all men in the estimation of his boom
ers. His enthusiastic Endorsement by
western republicans proves beyond a
doubt that they will lay down on the
silver question and vote the gold
standard.
Long before Mckinley was vOuched
for by John Sherman he had commit
ted himself to the bankers money. H.
H. KOhlsaat, of the Chicago Times
Herald, has this to say in regard to
McKinley's money views:
a year ago in Townsville, Ca, Maj. Nc
Kiuley, when offered the delegates of three
southern states if he would declare for free
silver, said in the presence of the editor of this
journal; If the republican platform declares
for free coinage will not be a candidate. I
would not run on free silver platform.
cagO Times-Herald, May 3, 1895.
As Editor Kohlsaat is a personal
friend Of Mckinley, the above state
ment becomes official.
This ought to put an end to the CON
trOversy as to McKinley's views of
finance. The evidence shows him a
gOldbug, pure and simple.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-"But I serve
notice now, that if the convention at
Chicago is to be made up of federal
Office holders, brought here to overawe
and override the wishes of the honest
majority of the democratic party
throughout the United States, it will

I will abide the will of the majority of
my party, honestly assembled, honestly
expressed. I make no threat, but
want no misunderstanding"
These words from Senator Vest in
the senate chamber coming as they did
after a bitter excoriation of the
methods employed by the administra-
ton leaders to carry the Michigan
state convention, caused no little
sensation.
Senator Vest was led to address the
senate by critical remarks made by
Senator Palmer of Illinois, on the eff
forts of the Missouri free silver leaders
to create silver sentiment in Missouri
by what senator Palmer termed a
"snap" convention. The convention to
which Senator Palmer referred was the
Pertle Springs gathering. He charged
that it was Uncalled for and was held
merely for the purpose of foisting the
free silver cause upon the people of
Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, No, May 8.-Some at
tentiOn is being paid to the recent ex-
pansion of the civil service rules as an
nounced by the president, and also
some discussion as to whether OF not il
takes under its protection the assist

Postmaster Reed thinks it does not,
and says there are many excellent
business reasons why should not, but
the reading of the formal announce
ment leads many to think it does, and
men who are holding such positions
are greatly interested, as the positions

A BOY SENT UP FOR LIFE.
Watson HiIdroth, the New York Trair
WTecker, Punished.

Watson HildTeth, the New York Train
WreclzeT, Punished.
ROME, n. Y, May 81. Watson Hill
dreth, the boy train wrecker, was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life yester-
day. His companions, Plato and Hib-
bard, pleaded guilty to manslaughter
IN the first degree and we're sentenced
to % years imprisonment each on two
indictments.
These boys and another named Fred
Bristol, who has since died of eonsump-
ton, were accused of planning to wreck
a New York Central express train last
November for the purpose of robbing
the passengers. The engineer of the
train was killed and the fireman so
badly injured that he mas only lately
left the hospital. A clerk Of the rail
way mail service was also severely hurt
The clue to the perpetrators was hat
belonging to young Hildreth, which
was found near the wreck. Not one Of
the lads was more than Is years of age,
and except in the case of one Of them
their parents are well to do people.

TIE republican orators, editors and
statesmen who have so roundly de-
nounced the syndicate bond dealings
of the present administration find
themselves in the same position of the
glass house dweller who was addicted
to throwing stones. Senator Hill pro
duced in his arguments against the
PETER bond resolution contracts for
bonds entered into between John Sher-
man, when secretary of the treasury,
and Belmont, Morgan & Co., the same
syndicate that contracted with Carlisle
for the recent issues of bonds. Pride
often has a fall when the pot calls the
kettle black, and this seems to be a
case Of that kind.

STRAWs blowing from republican

psign will admit it in plain words.

SENATOR HILL talked six days against
the bond resolution. The resolution
passed with only six dissenting votes,
and If the senator from New York had
added another day to his speech it
would no doubt have been unanimous.
