A little sawed-off eastern specimen Of

is the clear inference from the reading
of his brainleSs TRADE. The trouble
with this jay is that he writes too
soon. He is of that class of Scribes
who are pulled green, and are never

A GRACEFUL COMPLIMENT.

The letters and kilograms which Ma
jor Mckinley is receiving are not all
from Republicans. Ex-CGngressman
John E. Russell of Massachusetts sent
this graceful message:
mo man of all your admiring and
loving supporters more cordially and
disinterestingly congratulates you and
the country than l do. l am your sin
cere political opponent, but no less
your cordial and sincere friend"
Mr.. Russell is well known as one of
the ableSt Democrats in Massachusetts
but he appreciates McKineys sterling
qualities and he has the manlineSS
and chivalry to acknowledge them.
AS Garfield used to say, some of the
most beautiful flowers are those that
grow on the party walls Of politics.
There is no reason why gentlemen of
opposing political faith may not be gen
tlemen even in the exciting weeks of a
great political campaign. The com
pliments from a leading Democrat TO
the leader of the Republican party are
courteous and grateful They honor
the sender as well as the receiver.

THEY TALK BOSE.

It is announced that eastern mana
gers propose to take care OF western
silver delegates in the national Demo-
cratic convention at Chicago. 1t has
not been given out just how this is
to be done. but Mr. Whitney, the ex-
secretary OF the navy, and Cleveland's
young comptroller Of the currency, the
bumptious Mr.. EckieS, are'in every IN
terview intimatng some kind Of a coup
whereby a twO-thirds majority IS to
be reduced to q majority. They talk
about reasoning with the hay-seeds
and jays, but it is Suspicioned that
barrel may be opened. These fellows
evidently believe that the west is dense
in ignorance and that in a day or two
of random talk about the corridors Of
the hotels the western men can be made
to see the folly of their position. The
presumption of these gOldbugs satellites
is astonishing. With all their boosted
intelligence it is a wonder they never
pick I'D the census tables Of cOnpara-
tive illteracy of the state. Sam BOwleS

people. Mr.. Wilson could hardly have done
better for them If he had sat in congress

SHIPBUILDING.

The Democratic commissioner OF
n2vigation's last report, that of the
fiscal year ending in 1895, shows some
rather startling figures of shipbuilding
conditions under the Democratic and
Republican rule. which is worth while
here recording.
During the administration Of Gar
field and ARTHUR, preceding the first ad-
ministration of Grover Cleveland, the
total tonnage of ali vessels built in
the United States amounted to 1853
672 During Mr.. Cleveland's first term
the tonnage of all vessels built aggre-
gated but 623, 046 tons, a decrease of Al
per cent. During the adminiStra ton
of Benjamin Harrison the tonnage of
all vessels built in the United States
rose again 30 1.o94, 1872, being an in
crease in the amount Of construction
over that built under Grover CIeve-
lands administration Of just "A per cent
During the first three years Of Grover
Cleveland'S second second administra-
ton the vessels built in the United
States aggregated 454 ,436 tons, aS COM
pared with the construction of S94 $50
under the first three years of Benjamin
HarriSon's administration, or a fall
since the Republicans lost control of the
government Of 80 per cent.
1t is not difficult to understand, from
these figures, why it is that large ma
jority, in fact about all, of the shipbuild
ers and shipowRers of the country are
strongly Republican

UNAccoUNTABLE POLITICS.

Nobody questioned that the triumph
of the Republican party was assured
with Mckinley and protection The
battle had already been fought and won
McKinley's nomination was forced by
the demand for professionalism him as
its chiefest apostle. Why the great ma
jority who in convention nominated
him, and distinctively because Of his
tariff record, permitted the men who
had persistently sought 10 beat him,
to force their gold standard TO the front,
and thus jeopardize the chances Of their
chosen leader, is something incompre-
lhensible. AS a party we had started
in with the most popular man in
America to down Clevelandism which
had brought the nation to the verge of
bankruptcy, and having won the day,
and the man. turned right about and
endorsed Cleveland's pet policy. No
man was ever more clearly the unani-
NOUS choice of the Republican party
than Mckinley, with whom we could
have won with hands down, either on
the Minneapolis platform of four years
ago. or on the Ohio platform Of last fall,
the latter said to have been written by
Mckinley himself No other reference
to the money question than that found
in either of these platforms was neces-
sary. The one word "bimetallism"
would have knocked the Chicago con-
vention out of water and left them
stranded with free trade and a hopeless
division On the money question, with
no possible chance Of uniting with the
Populists.
There is at present no doubt of Nc
Kinley's election He can only have a
close race in the event Of a harmonious
fusion Of all the silver forces of the
country at Chicago, a seeming impossi-
bility, as the nomination Of a dyed-in-
the-woOI Democrat is inevitable. But
without the sacrifice of principle,
just by the endorsement of either of the
Republican money planks Of the last
four national conventions, would have
left protection as the real live issue and
victory certain. and it would have been
victory full Of hope and enthusiasm.

pointed to his own land and invited TIE

to find some encouraging news 10 tell,
or some good cheer to give, might well
have brought him 10 the banquet table
