Can anything be more absurd than
the constant reference by the Democratic
newspapers to the Failure Of the Repub
lican patty to bring prosperity"2 The
Republican party has claimed that in a
great measure the depressed times OF the
past four years have been owing TO the
tect our home manufacturers and to
Its failure as a revenue measure TO raise
a sufficient amount Of money to carry on
the government A Republican president
was inaugufated March 4th and tariff
bill promptly drawn up and passed by the
House Of Representatives. 1t has met
with the opposition of Democrats and Sill
verites in the Senate, where the Repub-
licans have not a clear majority, and
there is an evident desire on the part Of
these men 10 proloDg the discussion Of the
bill for weeks to come. While this is
being done, hundreds OF ship leads OF
foreign goods are being imported to take
the place OF goods that should have been
manufactured by our own mile, thereby
giving employment to our own idle work
iDgmen.
Until our money ceases TO go abroad by
the millions for goods that should be
made at home, no prosperity can be ex-
pected, aud until bill is passed by con-
gress aud goes into effect IL will be i'm.
possible to prevent this drain and conse-
queDt slagnation.
After the Republicans have had fair
opportunity 10 pass and put into effect
proper revenue law, and when that fails
after proper trinl, it will be time to hold
the party 10 an account for net lettering
the times.
But really, when one thinks Of il, isn't
the Democratic plan of making good
times the most idotic that could be con
ccived 1t is to throw open our gates To
the importation OF all kinds Of foreign
goods at a low duty, under The ptetence
OF getting cheaper goods, thus helping
foreign counties while our own mills
stand idle, aud thus force all the gold
out OF the country to pay for these goods,
while debased currency Of 60-ceat dol
lars is forced on our own people, bring
ing ruin 10 all who have small incomes
and further depression 10 all kinds of
business.

The growth OF the protective sentiment
in the South, which was clearly shown by
the fact that over 80 southern votes were
cast for the Dingley bill in the House,
will be again emphasized when the votes
for the bill in the Senate are counted. At
least five southern votes will be in favor
OF the bill in the Senate, one OF them by a
Democrat who announced before his cleo
ton that he should vote fore protective
tariff. When it is considered that every
one of these five southern Senators who
will support thu protective tariff bill sue
ceeded men who voted for the free trade
law now upon the statute books, the
growth OF the protective sentiment 10 that
section will be recognized

The "eatiy to bed aud early to RISE
maxim Of that worthy old Philadelphia
sage, benjamin Franklin, ia boldly as
sailed by Nicola Tesla, the electrical ge-
MUS, who defines sleep as sort Of cumu-
lauve storage battery for human energy.
Tesla says, When man really lives he
ish dying hour lay hour, but when he
sleeps he is accommodating vital forces
which will make him 60 on living. In
other words, in measuring out our dole
OF hours to each one OF us the great tim e.
keeper stops his count while we are
sleeping Therefore, the longer man
sleeps the longer he will remain on earth.
Nearly all long-lived people have been
great sleepers. When DeLcsseps was on
the ocean he would sleep twenty hours
on stretch. Gladstone is gteat sleep
er, and averages twelve hours day.
can believe that man who would learn
10 sleep eighteen hours a day might liv,
200 years.

The statement that has been going the
rounds To- he effect that widows, on re-
marriage, rot'd still be entitled to their
pensions, i, derled by the Dover Index,
which says that the report was first start
ed by bogus pension agents as scheme
TO defraud the widows OF soldiers How
much money the shysters obtained be-
fore their exposure is not known, but it
cannot be great deal, as only those who
have been shut out by the existing law
have been approached. Widows who
have been cstoppcd from their pensions
on account Of remarriage have no valid
claim on the government, and agents rep
rcsenting differently should be complain
ed Of and arrested as swindlers.

Judge McKcnnn May Be In the Next
Cabinet.

Cabinet.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2i.T-United States
Circuit Judge Joseph Mcl<enna has just
arrived from Canton, o., where he went
to visit President-elect Mckinley. 1t was
this visit very suddenly made, that disclose d
the fact that Judge McKenna will in all
probability be offered a cabinet portfolio
by the president elect. Judge MeKenna left
san Francisco a week ago last Monday
went to Canton, remained twelve hours and
returned to San Francisco, the entire trip
consuming just ten days. The return of
Judge McKenna was as sudden and unher-
aided as his departure. Though fatigued from
the long journey across the continent, Judge
McKenna had much to say OF the purpose
of his flying trip and the prospects Of his
becoming a member of the next cabinet
He was very cautious in his statement
however. He admitted, nevertheless, that
the cabinet question, particularly in rela-
ton to himself, called him to Canton. While
he qualified all his remarks in relation to
his acceptance of proposed portfolio, he
is very certain that California will have
representative in the official family of
the presdent-elect.
He said: II consider that too much sig
nfcance has been attached to my visit.
Many changes may occur. There is perfect
freedom on the part of Major Mckinley
to do as he may wish and perfect freedom
on my part. 1t is difficult 80 state the exact
situation. There are some difficulties in
the way of my acceptanceyof OF the portfolio.

GAGE FOR THE TREASURY
hicago Man to Be Member of the Coming
Cabinet
AN EMlSSARY FROM MKlNLEY SEES Hin
senator CuIIom is out of IL, as the
prcsidcnt-cIcct Wishes Him
to Remain in the
Senate.

CLEVELAND. Jan. 2t.-Lyman j. Gage of
Chicago Is the latest addition of the presi-
dent-elect's official family. He will probably
be secretary of the treasury. A gentleman
in this city, as conversant with the situa-
tion as any one can be outside of Major Nc
Kinley himself or his confidential advisers,
said that Major Mckinley had sent an ennis
sary to see Mr. Gage at his home in Chi
cago and ascertain whether or not the latter
would accept the portfolio If rendered him.
The source from which the authority for
the statement comes is beyond question. Fur
ther strength to the statement is added, If
such be possible from the fact that SEN
ator Culom of Illinois, who has been con-
sldered for the place, has been dropped, it
being the desire of Major Mckinley to have
Mr.. Cullom remain in the senate, as there
is no telling what might turn up should the
Mckinley forces in Illinois attempt to re-
place him, with the present legislature so
badly torn I'm.

PlTTSBURG Jan. 21.-Miss Matte Over
man, who figured so consplcuously about a
year ago in the ecclesiastical trial Of Rev.
DR.. C. o. Brown of San Francisco, charged
with immortality, has been enrolled as a
worker in the Hope mission of this city.
Through the influence of the Florence Crit
tenden mission at Los Angeles, Cal, Miss
Overman was converted" last summer and
since that time has devoted herself to mis-
sion work.
Miss Oyerman says that when she was
converted" she was told that she could
not expect peace unless she confessed any
thing that might be wrong in her relations
with DR.. Brown. Under this influence she
then said: IL testified falsely at the doc
tors first trial. for l wished to shield him.
Later l believed that If / wished to have
peace with God l must tell the truth, and
/ did. l went to my room and wrote a
detailed confession, which | sent to Rev.

tional Theological seminary at Oakland. He
