PROBLEMS AHEAD.

1t cannot as yet be definitely said who
is elected, Mr. Bryan or Major McKin-
ley. The election seems closer than
the first news indicated. In some in
stances it may be necessary to have an
official count.
But whoever is elected the various
problems that have confronted the ma
ton for the past few years sim re-
main demanding solution today the
same as they did yesterday. on re-
ports Of Major McKinley's election
there vas little squirt in stocks yes
terday with some slight reaction TO-
wards the close of business. But viii
these sDurts continue? and will they
continue as sDurts or develop into a
permanent rise?
The monetary question has been vex-
ing the government for twenty years.
All the questions affecting the welfare
Of the people arising out of the de-
monetization Of silver are still TO be
met, still to be answered.
If Major Mckinley is elected how
VIII he treat the still paramount ques-
ton of finance? TIE metallic supply
Of money is inadequate to the needs Of
the people. 1t can only be increased
by the production of more money met
ais, gold and silver. His fiat cannot
produce them. they must still be pro-
duced as they always have been-by
the labor OF man
A superstructural paper currency
based on gold can only be raised to
certain height without endangering the
whole. The single gold standard will
only suffice for the wants of the people
in the event of the increase in the pro-
duction of gold equal to these wants.
That is improbable, if not impossible
The solution of the problem is still
the restoration of silver to its proper
place in our monetary system.
The power Of the trusts is menace
to the people. What measures are to
be taken to curb their power. TO re-
lieve the people Of this menace? The
election has by no means decided this
question. 1t is still what the lawyers
call in statu QUO ante.
What of the question of providing a
sufficient revenue for the government?
The revenue must be had. The cleo
ton has not determined this matter any
more than it has others.
All that the election has decided is
that there shall be a change of admin
istration to deal with the problems
which confront the people. There has
neen an election. The people have es-
capped no responsibilities. have light
ened themselves of no burdens, have
solved no problems any more than the
renewal of a note is a payment OF
debt
Our problems are all ahead Of US; the
election has not put single one of
them behind US. When the excitement
consequent upon the election shall have
fully subsidized the people will awaken
to a realization of all this.

Philadelphia Record: Coming down in
a Twelfth street car. an old lady rendered
the conductor a Scent piece, under the
impression that it was a dime, and re-
ceived a nickel in eXchange. The con-
ductor. however, discovered his error i'm
mediately after, and, going back to the
old lady. explained the circumstance.
After convincing her, with much argu-
ment. that she had only given him 3
cents the conductor returned the coin,
and the old lady handed him the nickel.
Let me have your fare, please" de-
manded the conductor.
The old lady looked aghast. why
Just gave you cents she retorted, now
firmly convinced that she was being
buncoed.
Yes. l know replied the conductor,
who was also getting slightly twisted,

AN INDIAN MONUMENT.

The day will come, has almost come.
when the American people will ap-
preciate the character of the Indian
and honor the great names among
them that fgur. in oEf history. Some
of the Indians have be IN men deserving
Of recognition.
\ rlonumert to such a one was re-
Gently unveiled in the courthouse
park at Point Pleasant, w. Va. 1t is
in memory of Cornstalk, who was muir
dered in the fort there over hundred
years ago. An account of the affair
appeared in a recent issue of the Pitts
burg Dispatch.
According to this account the idea of
the monument was conceived by Hon.
Lon T. Pikchard. Captain John B. Sell
bee and F. B. Tippett. The plan was
submitted by Colonel Munford, of Lock
II, who agreed to furnish the stone, and
his own men built the monument, and
his engineer, Colonel S. H. Reynolds,
superintendent its erection.
Since the removal IN 1871 Of the re-
mains of the gallant warrior from their
first resting place of interment near
the scene of his tragic death to their
present location in the courthouse yard
Enclosure at Point Pleasant, nothing
whatever has been done TO perpetuate
mis- memory, and the grave has usually
been completely hidden beneath
growth OF tangled weeds and grass,
unnoticed and unmarked, excepting
when some strangers inquiring curios-
ity has caused it to be pointed out.
Cornstalk was the greatest of d long
line Of Shawnee chiefs, and was given
his unique name at the consent Of his
entire tribe, who recognized in him
their full strength and support. Tall,
of wonderful strength and endurance,
commanding in appearance and
naughty in manner, there was no war
rior of his day, not even his able friend
and associate, John Logan, the Mingo
chief OF almost equal renown. com
manded the love and veneraton Of his
followers so entirely
1t was under the command of Corn
stalk that the allied tribes of the Ohio
country attacked the fort at Point
Pleasant on October 10, 1774. IN this
fight Cornstalk displayed wonderful
ability as a commander and animated
his undisciplined followers to the point
of rashness in his utter fearlessness.
Following this battle the Indians. at
the advice of Cornstalk, sued for peace,
and a treaty was soon ratified, but not
before the gallant old warrior had lost
his life in the effort
Here is an example well worthy of
imitation by other sections Of the coun-

In some respects it is being carried on

THE LEGISLATURE.

The election of d Democratic legisla-
ture is a matter of the first import
ance to the people of the state as well
as a matter of congratulation. First
of all it means the election of a free
silver Democratic senator He will sit
in the senate for six years and will
always be a champion of silver and the
rights of the people. Moreover, his
party will be in full sympathy with
him on the question.
A Democratic legislature means that
no one will be permitted, under any
pretense. to put his hand into the
public treasury and take portion of
the peoples taxes TO further private
enterprise. The Democratic party doe.
not believe in granting bounties or in
giving largesses. Enterprises of merit
require no such encouragement they
will attract to themselves all the cap
ital that their prospects of success will
warrant
a Democratic legislature will not
make appropriations beyond what the
revenues of the state will justify. Econ
omy viii be the keynote. of all it does.
This the people will expect Of it. for it
is for this reason that they have elected
it. If it shall prove recreant to its
trust. the people will condemn it at
the polls. The people of this state pro-
pose to run the affairs of the state and
to give parties that may be entrusted
with the management of the states
affairs TO understand that they are the
masters and The parties but the serv-
ants.
The Democratic legislature will jus
tify the confidence the people have
placed in it.
