be ratified by the people at the polls. The
three years-a reaction without precedent
in the history of American politics-has
shown no signs of having spent its force.
Throughout the country, the dominant
wish of the people is to hasten the day,
when the party of prosperity shall be re-
turned to power. To the representatives of
our citizens have turned with common
hope for national leadership, and decla-
ration of principles which will place the
affairs of Government once more on the
bed rock basis of sound American ideas,
and intelligent administration.
The candidate whose nomination has
been clearly foreshadowed by the events of
the past two months in the race for the
Presidency, is the honest choice of great
majority of his party.
His canvass for the nomination has been
fairly, openly and honorably conducted,
and he has from the start out-distanced each
and all OF his competitors.
He is the logical candidate of his party,
and his nomination is the outcome not
simply of the skill and efficient manage
ment of his supporters, but as well of his
recognized personal popularity confined to
no sections of the country, and of popular
faith in the great economic principle OF
protection to American industries, with
which the name of Mckinley has been in
seperably connected during a period of
phenomenal national prosperity.
But even more gratifying is the fact, that
the Republican leaders at st. Louis, have
risen to the full height of the occasion in
meeting the fundamental issue of the
Presidential campaign.
In the agitation for an honest and safe
currency the friends of sound money have
succeeded in rallying together following
whose demand for declaration of princi-
pies in accord with the enlightened senti-
ment of the party, in accord with the
teachings of experience, not only of the
business world, but of every man depend
ent alone on the earnings of his labor, has
proved to he irresistible
Mckinley, Hobart, protection and sound
money form a combination which will
sweep the country.
Confidence in the honesty OF purpose, the
fitness and the competency OF the Repub-
lican leaders to rule this country wisely
and well, has never been so strong as it is
to-day, and it is with a happy au@ury Of
the future, that the events at st. Louis this
week, have been watched, not only by Re
publcans, but as well by many Demo
Gratis.

NOTWITHSTANDING the attempts of the
opponents of Major Mckinley to cast
doubt upon the soundness of his financial
views, the most eXacting advocate of a gold
standard, can have no doubt that he will
accept the platform enunciated at ST Louis
in absolute good faith.
The address delivered by Mr.. Fairbanks,
the temporary chairman of the convention,
directly indicates McKinley's views upon
the money question. Mr.. Fairbanks was
selected personally by Major Mckinley
and the details of the address were submit
ted to the Presidential candidate for re-
vision. The address may be taken as an
exposition of McKinley's ideas, and these
are now given to the world in this official
form. They are perfectly sound in every
line.
''Those who profess to believe" said
Mr.. Fairbanks, speaking for Mckinley,
that this government can independently
of the other great commercial powers open
its minis to the free and independent
coinage of silver at ratio of Is to ], when
the commercial ratio in all the great mar
kets is 30 to /, and at the same time not
drive every dollar of gold out of circulation,
but deceive themselves. Great and splen-
did and powerful as our government is, it
cannot accomplish the impossible. 1t can
not cra,to ,.,I,,,
He makes it perfectly plain, too, that in
the use Of silver the present national stand
ard cannot be impaired. One thing that
this address gives absolute assurance is that
that under Mckinley we shall not have
free coinage.
Sound money and an honest protective
tariff 20 hand in hand together not one
before the other declare Mr. Fairbanks
and Major Mckinley; so the campaign will
be entered upon with no doubt concerning
the attitude Of the Republican candidate.

Children'S Fresh Air Society.

1t is always pleasure to write about the
work of the Children's Fresh Air Society
This beautiful charity has now been in opera
ton in Baltimore City five years and the work
is growing marvelously each year. During
these five years many neglected "little ones
have been taken from stricken homes where
vice abounds and where breath OF fresh air is
almost an unobtainable luxury. and have been
transported to the midst of green fields to be
ministered to by kind and loving friends
Another year the Fresh Air Society of Balti-
more appeals to those living in the country to
take these children into their homes for two
weeks. where they can have fresh air for their
little lungs, good country milk for their hun
CRY little bodies. new ideals of living for their
ready little minds to see and perhaps try to
initiate and love and kindness to make happy
memories in lives that have all too few bright
bright days. The Society prefers to send the
children in parties Of ten to sixty or more.
Every expense is paid by the Society, the
children are provided with suitable clothing
and are pronounced free from contagious
diseases. No salaries are paid in the Fresh
Air work. Further information may be had
