UNFORTUNATE FOR KANSAS.

Four years ago the writer Of this voted
for Weaver, believing that the Repubk-
cans of Kansas and Of the nation needed
humiliating, and that a change of admin
istration would be a good thing.
The change of administration in Kansas
was an unfortunate experiment, and It
was no. much better IN the country at
large.
This year we intend to vote of Mckinley
We were willing to give Popul!sm and
Democracy a trial, and they were not sat
isfactory. The Populist administration
IN Kansas was so d3sgraceful that two
years later the Popul;st candidate for
governor wac defeated. No Intelligent
person doubts that the Populist candidate
for governor of Knasas will be defeated
this year.
We regard Bryan as a Popullst. pure
and simple. We do not intend to vote for
a Populist administration for the nation.
We believe it is very important that
Mckinley carry Kansas He will be cleo
ted. with or without the help Of this state.
and Kansas should vote with Pennsyl-
van.a. Ohio, Illinois. Iowa and New York,
rather than with Arkansas, Texas, Ala
bama and Utah.
The Globe is in no sense a political pa
per. Ordinarily there is little difference
between the parties, but this year there
is a vast diffrence, and the intelligence.
patriotism and integrity Of the country
are massed on the Republican side. Pop
ulssm has become so bold that even the
better class Of Democrats are generally
voting with the Republicans. as a rebuke
to the mistaken or vicious Chicago plat
form. -Atchson Globe.

LET THE MILLS START.

The KinyOn wooden machinery man.
ufactory of Raritan, n. j., has started
UP. The senior of this extensive estab
hshment announces that the factory is
started because the company is salts
fed that Mckinley will be elected. Fol
lowing such result the wooden mills all
over the country will start their looms
and spindles forthwith. This is only
one of many instances of what will
transpire SO far as the industries of
this country are concerned, in the now
certain event of McKinley's election.
Business men everywhere who have
studied the situation are confident of
not only McKinley's election, but Of
the happy results to trade and bust
ness along ali lines. Manufacturing
establishments everywhere, now clos
soon as the result is known to be for
Mckinley. In such an event revival
of business seems certain. In antici-
patton of a return of confidence and
good times under Republican rule. in
many parts of the east large manufac-
turing plants have resumed business
to their full capacity. Those in charge
of them believe that the American peo-
pie will not be so blind to their own
interests as to vote for free silver and
business panic. Having satisfied
themselves that Mckinley will be cleo
ted, they are getting ready to take ad-
vantage of the great boom in business
which they expect will follow. Let the
mills start up and the wheels of indus
try revive, but let every man who has
worked for the election of Mckinley
and for the triumph of sound money
principles work just as hard from now
until election as if he believed his
cause was desperate.

BRYAN AS A PROPHET.

A scientific expert who has been lis
tening to. watching and studying VIII
lam Jennings Bryan declares that he is
a mattoid. A mattoid is something be-
tween fanatic and a genius and is the
result of hereditary environment Nh.
Sweinforth, the Illinois christ. the Den
yer Dutchman and all the other self
imposed sayiors are and were mattolds.
Peter the Hermit lines up in that cate
CORY. There is hitch in their heredi-
tary which is evinced by an intense
restless life and mental vagabondage,
emphasized by inordinate egotlsm
which finds expression in grandiose
ideas and famboyant language. We
Judge that it is kind Of high-grade
monomaniaism marked by the absence
Of good hard horse sense. This is not
a diagnosis Of Bryau's case, but it
seems TO fit him. With him there is
but one trouble in this world, one af-
Fiction, one failure and that is the low
price of silver bullion. This he con-
tinuouSly affirms and paSsionately re-
iterates every day, everywhere. In De-
lieving himself a political prophet, he
is playing a leading role in a great ma
tional campaign. He has forgotten or
utterly ignores all the political beliefs
and tenets Of his past life, knowing but
one thing. The question is would such
a man be a safe man with all the pow
ers of the presidency in his grasp.

Columbus, o., Sept. g, 1896
Dear Sir:-In answer to your recent let

interests of Ohio. made under the aus
pices of the Ohio Bureau Of Labor Statis-
ties. in 1894. My inquiry went back for
twenty years. extending beyond the time
of the trouble between the Lake Carriers
association and the Sailors union. There
was no evidence found in the course OF
uhis investigation to shoV that Mark Han
ma had any part in the difficulty then ex-
listing between the sailors and their en-
ployers.
I would further state that the statistical
investigation OF the workshops and fac
tories of the ely of Cleveland, made by
the labor bureau was likewise under my
directions. The reports based upon this
injury are on file IN Columbus. and they
viii show that Mr.. Hanna paid the high
est standard of wages for labor perform

Richard Powers, prominent and in
nuential worker in the labor organize
tons of the country and ex-president
of the Seamans' union writes as fol-
lows, under date of Chicago, Sept. p,
1896:
knowing the history of the Lake Sea-
mems union from it's organization to the
present and participating in the struggles
when to do so involved danger and sac
rife, 1 can truthfully assert tina never in
all his time, nor at any other, has that
organization ever had any trouble with
Mark Hanna. AL assertion to the con-
trary are fa1seheods, manufactures for
political effect and with desire to mis-
lead working people and l denounce them
as such. Yours truly,
RICHARD POWERS,
Ex-President Seamens' Union.

MARK HANNA AS A MAN.

Finding absolutely nothing In the
life. character or political record of
William Mckinley TO attack the Oppo-
sition in an endeavor to keep alive Pop
ulistic prejudice and to divert public
attention from the real issue, have
opened I'D on stump and through the
columns of their publications war on
Mark Hanna, upon the grounds that he
is rich man and an extensive employ
er of laboring men. In this war the
most outrageous accusations have been
INDUCED in. Mr.. Hanna, who became
Mr.. McKinley's political campaign
manager through the fact that they
had been long time the closets friends,
not only socially but politically, is rep
resented as very plutocratic devil, a
highway robber of labor and a YAM
pire abSorber of the sweat of toll. This
concerted attack attracted the atten-
ton of the labor organizations Of the
country and the result was that Will
lam A. karney, first vice-presidens OF
the Amalgamated association of the
iron and steel workers, and for four
years president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, invited Horace Ste
yens of Isbpeming, Michigan, to in
vestisate the charges against Hanna
as an employer Of labor. The investi-
CATION has been made and according
to the findings Mark Hanna is not only
an honorable man with q heart in him,
bur has been the trusted friend of his
employees who at times have numbered
thousands. The committee finds that
Hanna became interested in the Win
throp mine in 1890. He was the first
manager 10 cancel a ground rental OF
$50 year required OF the miners.
About fifteen months ago he took
charge Of a mine at Chaplin and the
first thing he did was to direct the re-
mission Of the ground rent at the Cha
pin which was formerly charged en-
ployes living on the company's land
rent free. All other companies re-
quireed the payment of this rental.
This change from the established pol
icy of all the mines in the district was
made by the company. by Mr.. Hanna's
express orders. long before the panic
aud compelled other corporations To
reduce their rental Mr.. Hanna be
lieyes that il makes q better citizen OF

The first strike with Mr.. Hanna was
settled in twenty-four hours, while in
other mines they remained ont three
weeks. The second strike took place
last summer and lasted five weeks. All

In all parts Of the country the tactics
of the silver party managers have
been dishonest, INSCRIPTIONS and dis
graceful.
The campaign of Mr.. Mckinley has
been straight forward, honorable and
digni6ed. There has been no dodg-
ing, hiding or double-dealing anywhere
touching anything. No class against
class, section against section appeals
have been heard from any Republican
platform or stump. Why. therefore,
should such forgery, lying and SANDER
be resorted to? There is only one ans
wer and that is that the party which
makes them is itself dishonest and
would win by a trick if possible.

CAMPAIGN CRIMES.

The Sackville West episode nor the
DR.. Burchard explosion have not been
forgotten but notwithstanding such
facts ii can be set down as certain
that traps will be sprung and schemes
attempted by the managers of the con-
federated aggregation known as the
Pcpocrat party. The three weeks re-
naming Of the campaign will be the
hottest. What has already happened
is but a foretaste Of that which will
no doubt come along the fine Of for
geries and lies. There seems to be,
there has been, in fact, so little else
than chicanery in the combination of
onehead on two tails that no one need
be surprised at any claim or declara-
ton eminating from either the Demo-
craic or Populist committees. The
falsehood current in those parties and
believed or doubted by their follow
ings. touching Major Mckinley's finan
cial misfortune of two or three years
ago. of Mr.. Hanna'S corruption are
white compared to what will come.
Their forgery upon the London F'inan-
cial News is a specimen of their men,
dacity. Pop papers by the hundreds
declare that they had copies Of the
News containing the forged article.
The truth is it was an out and out
fabrication. Another mOnstrous for
gerry is one purporting TO be a quota
ton from Abraham Lincoln. This ex-
presses opinion about questions which
were not discussed in Lincoln's day,
and il is fraudulent on the face OF il
