man then. although Mckinley was new
and obscure. Is it likely that he is
following him now when Mckinley is
of greater moment in the public eye
than Sherman?
Mr.. Mckinley was chairman of the
committee on resolutions in the Re-
publican national convention of 1888,
and reported a platform which de-
clared that 1.-THE Republican party is
in favor of the use of both gold and
silver as money and condemns the
policy of the Democratic administra-
ton to demonetiZe silver''-these
efforts consisting of recommendations
by President Cleveland that congress
should repeal the Bland-Allison act,
precisely like the recommendations
made by Mr.. Cleveland's Republican
predecessor, President Arthur.
Here again Major Mckinley was
against John Sherman. Sherman has
always held tenaciously to the gold
standard. Mckinley has never been
for it.
There is this argument which might
make all these foregoing statements
empty-that is the argument that
Mckinley may have changed, and, like
Carlisle, be to-day gold standard man
regardless OF his views in former
years.
But we have a later utterance from
Mckinley still which shows that even
after he had been mentioned promi-
nently for president he was still for
silver In his place in congress June
"a, 1890, page 6, 447 Congressional Rec
ord, he said: Il am for the largest
use of silver in the currency of the
country. | would not dishonor it: l
would give it equal credit and honor
with gold. / would utilize both met
ais as money and discredit neither /
want the double standard" Does any
one desire Il clearer statement than
that?
There is much anxiety in the west
over Mckinley's present 1896 views
on the financial question. He cannot
speak now on the matter for it would
be an indiScretion politically and a
semi-dictation in regard to the nation
al platform. But when the time comes,
and it will presently, Mckinley will
announce himself squarely and not
withstanding the timid doubts of his
western friends, it will not be a declar-
alton for gold standard.-Wichita
Eagle.
This time Mr.. Ellis will be elected
by good majority, and Populism as
by Kansas cranks will be
known no more forever.-BelleviIl

THE DIFFERENCE.

No one who has read closely, during
the past four years. the representa-
tive Populist and Republican newspa-
pers of the state, can have failed to
note the cowardly and subservient
partisanship of the one and the
courageous and lofty independence of
the latter. Through all the shocking
disclosures of the dishonesty and cor
ruption of the Lewelling administra-
tion, the Populist papers either re-
manned silent or, in the face of abSO-
lutte proof, fatty deny all charges.
The Republican papers, on the con-
trary, have discussed Governor Nor
rIll'S administration as candldly and
criticised it as freely when they diff
fered with it as they did the admins
tration of Governor Lewelling. To
be sure. they have not brought the
charges against it that they have
brought against the Lewelling adj
ministration for the very good reason
that they could not truthfully be
made. As the Topeka Capital well
says, nobody has ever accused Cover
nor Morrill, of conniving with gam
blers and political thieves and BUSH
wackerS to rifle the state treasury.
He never undertook to threaten the
supreme court or any other co-ordi-
nate branch of government. His APP
pointees have not been engaged dur
ing their terms of Office in fights and
unSeemly broilS to the destruction of
discipline in the institutions in their
charge. They have not charged four
or five prices for mileage and per diem
nor looted the state Golfers wherever
and whenever they could get their
hands on public money. Instead of
deficiencies there is surplus under
Governor Morrill'S administration
There are no scandals in his admins
tration at any point, but the state
work is being done by competent and
faithful officials whose whole time is
devoted to the duties of their offices.
Governor Morrill, has not Saddled his
entire family and collateral relatives
on the state, nor have any of his APP
pointees. The Republican papers of
the state, continues the Capital, have
concealed nothing in their admins
tration. but have given to the people
all the facts and commented fearleSSly
was it with the pop organs during the
orgy of Lewellingism? Was there
any crime, or scandal, or treason, or
infamy, or proof of incapacity on the
part of any official of the late admin
istration that the pop organs did not
with one voice defend it? The Capt.
tai has been frank to express its SEN
timentS on some of Governor Morrill's
official acts that reflect discredit on
his record: but compared with the
record of Lewelling it is shining
model of purity, patriotism and good
government. As between Lewelling
and Morrill, as candidates this year
there is not Il citizen of Kansas COM
petent to vote who would hesitate
long enough to formulate a doubt in
his mind.-Iola Register.

JOHN SHERMAN AND MCKINLEY.

Several new views have been thrown
upon Major Mckinley's financial posi-
tion. The most important of these is
the utterance of John Sherman, which
was given in New York. to assure the
eastern gold standard men that Nc
Kinley is also gold standard man.
When asked directly if Mckinley
was in favor of sound money, Sher-
man replied: Certainly he is, and
his views are we'll known. Mckinley
has always stood and voted with the
Republican party against the free
coinage of silver"
In the popular mind it is to be pre-
sumed this utterance will be ascribed
to Mckinley because OF, the political
intimacy of Mckinley and Sherman.
This brings US down to the fiat Ques-
ton: ..Does sherman speak for
Mckinley with authority" We can
determine this with a great deal of
eXactitude. McKinley's first vote on
the financial question was in 1877. On
the 9th of November. 1877, Mr.. Bland.
of Missouri, moved in the house of
representatives to suspend the rules
and pass bill to authorize the free
coinage of the standard silver dollar.
On the call of the roll Mr.. Mckinley
voted yea. a
This doesn't indicate that he always
voted with the Republican party
against the free coinage of silver, as
Sherman aSSeverateS.
But that is immaterial. A survey
of McKinley'S actions one year later
is of vastly more Importance on this
point. The Bland bill was amended in
the senate, under the lead of Mr.. AL
liSon, so as to provide for the coinage
of not less than S2.o00.000 nor more
than $1,000, 900 worth of silver bullion
into standard dollars, and in that form
passed by the house. President Hayes
vetoed the bill February %, 1878. On
the question of repassing the bill over
the veto Mr.. Mckinley voted yea.
President Hayes secretary of treas
ury wrote that veto message. and the
secretary of treasury was John Sher-
man, then as now Il gold standard man.
Mckinley voted to pass this bill over
this veto. John Sherman did not con-
troll McKinley'S vote. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary to have gold standard
votes then as it is now. But McKin-
ley had his convictions and those
convictions were not the property of
John Sherman. 1t should be remem-
bered, too, that at that time Mckin-
ley was a new man in public life. He.
like all new congressman, was inclined
to look upon John Sherman as leader.
and a man whose example he should
follow. Mckinley did not follow Sher-

SAKE.

Sake is the national beverage of Ja- pan, and until recent years was the only fermented liquor known in that empire. It is obtained by the distilla- ton of the best kinds of rice. In ap- pearance it resembles very pale sherry, though in taste it is somewhat acid. The best sake is white, but there are many varieties. and the poorer people in Japan have to content themselves with a turbid sort. A glass of sake is drunk at every function and ceremony of daily life; even all offerings to the gods at religious festivals. whether great or small, include a cup of sake. At the annual dinner last year
 Thirteen club, in London, at which eve rything was served a la Japanese, a glass of the national beverage was handed round to each guest after the repast, with an intimation that a sec ond could be had if desired. It is re- ported, however, that there was by nc means run on the second glass, sake seeming to be far less popular with Englishmen than with Japanese Chambers Journal,
