THE VICTORY.


nate honesty OF the American people
has prevailed. Popular government
has experienced a new birth. The
fitness OF the American people to rule
themselves has again been demon
strated in as striking manner as it
was when our manhood arose in its
might and suppressed the most formid-
able rebellion in the annals of nations.
The credit of the victory is not due
alone to the Republicans. The patri-
otto sound money Democrats who
joined with us in administering a re-
buke to the hosts OF demagogism,
anarchy and knavery should receive
their due need of praise. In the
grand jubilee of Republican triumph
our noble allies will not be forgotten.

The news of McKinley's election has
lifted an immense burden of anxiety
from the minds of all the millions en-
gagged in trade and industry and of the
financial and business world in GEN
eral. The immediate effect was seen
yesterday in the advance of wheat and
in the active demand and rising
prices for American securities.
1t cannot fail to show itself in in
creased activity in all lines of business
this fall. 1t cannot, of course, be ex-
pected that there will be any sudden
or abrupt change for the better. But
the great stumbling block has been
removed from the road which leads
back to prosperity, and the result on
TUESDAY has put the country on the
way to better times. Press .
| The election has settled a great bus
mess questionable stability of the
unit OF value is assured. With the
public and private credit assailed by
an assault on. the gold standard to
abolish it, business could not strength
en-. The obstacle is removed and bet
ter times are at hand. The Republi-
can party, which insisted upon the
passage of the acts of March Is, 1869,
and of Jan. IA, 1875, to- maintain the
public credit and resume specie pay
ments, have again led the way to an
era of business prosperity as in 1879.
There is nothing now to obstruct the
free action of business and investment.
There are hundreds of millions of dol
lars ready to flow into the channels of
trade and enterprise and soon the re-
moval of the free silver incubus will be
manifest in recovered and healthful
activity throughout the country. Time
has been given up to politics and po-
litical activity, but it was time we'll
spent by the champions of sound
money. Now let politics go and let
every community address itself to bus
mess. The sense of security will soon:
loosen the purse strings and avenues
OF employment will be opened and the
whole business and investing element
rise to the full measure of it's great op-

The most momentous election held
in thirtY-1ive years is over. The peo-
pie have spoken, and with no uncer-
tain sound. That has happened which
was expected by those who had faith
in the constancy and honor of our peo-
pie. They have elected Mckinley to
the presidency, as means of defeat
ing and rebuking Mr.. Bryan and all
his works., and declaring their de-
votion to sound money, to national
honor, and to the maintenance, of Or
derby government in these United
States. They have done, moreover,
that which all have hoped that they
would do. They have made this VIC
tory SO overwhelming that no one can
miss its significance. They have
buried Reputation and mob rule under
an avalanch of what promises to be
plurality of not far from million
popular votes.-&. Paul Globe.

Minnesota is the keystone of this
great. arch spanning the Mississippi
valley. The attempt to drag this
grand and magnificent State at the
heels of Populism has miserably failed.
Minnesota retains her proud positi ion
she has always held in the Northwest,
and has Indignantly repulsed the Pop
ulistic combination that would have
dishonored other States of this rich
section of the Union. While all has
not been accomplished that was hoped
for in the breaking up of the 'tsoiid
South" enough has again been done
to show that it is a thing of the past.
The Republicans of Minnesota and the
sound money Democrats who have
helped to win the victory, have won
the eternal gratitude of every man,
woman and child who felt the danger
that seemed to impend upon it's fair
fame. st. Paul Dispatch.

What a despot, whata tyrant, what
an idol. People are swayed by it, ru-

1t makes people mean and corrupt
and dishonest. 1t makes them cheat
and lie and swindle and steal and rob
and murder. 1t destroys the noblest
impulses of the human heart, and
plants in their place the noxious weeds
Of that deadly avarice that endangel S
the soul and threatens it with everlast-

1t turns sister against brother, father
against son, wife against husband 1t
sows weeds Of discord and briars of es.

And yet with all Of its power and al
of it's influence it cannot bring peace tC
the mind and a solace to the bosom
and neither can it purchase the blessed
hope of blissful Immortality.

opens its sodded arms to receive into
its pulseless embrace the lifeless form
then its power is all gone. and It's mem

Balloon Ascension.

An interesting sight was witnessed
in Henderson yesterday. 1t was bal
loon ascension, something seen by
ma ~ persons for the first time.
A tr: yelling show visited the town
and this was one OF the attractions ad-
vertlsed. A large crowd gathered at
the place where thesballoon was to
start from and about half past three
O'Clock the work of initiating it was
completed and the c"y of '.let her
CO. was given. Up it shot like
a thing of life and gracefully ascended
In an almost direct line overhead. o.
it went until an altitude ofseveral hum
dred feet was reached when it drifted
gradually toward the North going
higher aud higher all the while.
When the balloon was some thing like
half mile high the young man on the
trapeze bar cut loose the parachute.
He made drop toward the earth some
distance when its folds gradually
opened and gathering the wind the de-
scent was made slowly downward until
the ground was reached in safety.
A landing was made near J. p. Tay-
lor & Co.'S factory, about quarter of
mile from the starting point, the dar-
ing aerial navigator having made a
voyage of something like three thousand
yards in the circuit. 1t was success
full occasion in every particular and
presented pretty and thrilling sight.

your most excellent paper, Fifth Street

church which now serve, is badly en-
barrassed with debt brought on it by
the fraud and deceptive practices of one
of its former and much trusted members
Much OF this debt has been removed but
SIS, 900 OF it remains and is the cause of
great distress ard anxiety to its men,
berS and friends. Earnest efforts to les
sen and finally remove this great eHcum-
brance are being made. Among other
efforts we are sending cards soliciting the
contribution of one dollar from each OF
the persons to whom they go. Some of
these were sent to Henderson and write
to express my hearty appreciation, and
that OF the people whom serve, to those
in Henderson and to those elsewhere as
well, who may see these lines, who did,
and who may so kindly respond to our
appeal to aid a struggling cause, and did
they but know the true situation they
would be glad that they had helped an
object SO worthy.
Very truly yours,
