Mr.. McKinley's aid to Boss Hanna
has made the election Of the latter to
the Senate an apparent certainty,
but unless some very shrewd
students of things political are
wrong. it has also made Mr.. Nc
Kinley's denomination for the Presi-
dency almost an imposibility. Ac-
colding to current gossip, Senator
Foraker will lead a fight on Mr.. Nc
Kinley in his own state. and the anti
Plat republicans IN New York will
use the "Citizen's Union" organiza-
ton, which has been made permanent,
to down Platt and prevent his carry
ing out the deal to give Nj. Mckinley
the solid vote of New York in the
Republican National Convention OF
1900. While these movements may
not be directly in the interest Of Gear
Reed, as some say they are, he is
likely to occupy the best position for
being benefited by them. if they nc
coed, as his friends are known to be
at work IN New England and else
where, to keep the following he had
last year together, and to add to it,
Plat and Hanna, in addition to the
enemies he has made IN the distribu.
ton of pie, will be a heavy load fol
Mr.. Mckinley to carry, and the chan
ces will certainly be against his get
ting nominated again.

Tie Pittsburg Post says:

.sMlllionaire friends and admirers
of President Mckinley are said to be
arranging for a life-s:ze statue OF MIN
ip gold, to be exhibited at the Paris
exposition of 1900. 1t is proposed to
make it seven feet high. and it will
cost n million dollars. A happy
thought of the m~iiIionaTres. Push It
along. It will he in commemoration
of what may be, or may not be, the
Mckinley policy. as foresladowed by
Secretary Gage. of changing the coin
bonds Of the Government outstanding
somewhere near a thousand millions
to gold bonds, and converting q
n%on-Interest greenback debt into a
bonded interest debt"
All this talk about erecting such a
statue seems to US a fairy tale, the
invention of some lively imagination.

ADVERTISEMENTS OF MISSING LET
TER CONTESTS BARRED FROM THE
MAILS Washington, Dec. 2.-The
Postofice Department is taking a firm
stand against the so-called "misslng
letter. and .'missing word" contests,
which are being conducted by a mum
Der of publishers to increase the sub
scriptions to their papers. The lottery
law directs that the Postmaster Gen
eral. upon evidence satisfactory TO
himself that a concern or person is
operating through the mails a lottery
or a scheme offering prizes de3endent
upon lottery or chance, prohibit the
delivery of all mail matter TO if. All
newspapers and periodicals containing
advertisements of this character are
forbidden transmission in the mails.
This law, it is now announced at the
Postoffice Department, will be applied
to all schemes which are in violation
of it if they are continued in operation
or advertisements of them are pub
lisbed. Missing letter contests are
held to be such violations because
many correct nswer can be given.
but only one list is deemed the .'cor-
rect list" by the promoter of the
scheme. The chance consists in guess
ing what words compose the so-called
s.correct list Such schemes are held
to be especially obnoxious owing Il
the skillful wording Of the advertise
ments, which made the chance fol
obtaining a prize more remote thar il
the defunet Louisiana Lottery.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
Robbing the Trust Funds and En-
dangering the Stability of Our

Robbing the Trust Funds and En-.
dangering the Stability of Our
State Institutions and State Govern
ment.
The Journal showed some time
ago that great inroads had been
made In the trust funds to fill the
deficit made In the general fund
by extravaganza of the last two
legislatures. 1t explained how
they were transferred and the
adverse balance of one year paid
out Of the next years funds, so
that the deficit was constantly
increasing, withstanding the
reports which show that the
general fund had paid back to the
trust funds. It cited the acts
under which the transfers were
made. 1t showed that the last
legislature dared not face the
whole deficit at once with state
tax sufficient to wipe it out, but
temporlzed with three-fourths of
what the governor said was the
least that ought to he done. The
Journal, moreover, has long called
atten ton to the sale of the state
lands, pointing out that there
was some reason back of the
action of the last legislature in
ordering the sale. The PROPOSE
tion had been up many times and
always defeated. The probable
reason is apparently out. The
lands are sold to replenish the
general fund rather than to lay a
tax. And more than this, near
$1O0.000 of the state normal
school fund is to be absorbed in
the irlpool of extravaganza.
With the tax and the sale of the
lands properly belonging to the
state. they still have not enough
to fill the hole they have made in
the treasury in five years, but
must rake in another 800, 1000
from the trust funds.
No wonder that Gov. Scofeld
shows Indications of disgust with
his ''job" when his best advise is
so disregarded. No wonder he
may wish to cut loose from an
administration so determined to
disgrace the state and rob the
trust funds. And the pity of it
all is that, with these facts before
them. the party in the state seems
willing to stand by them IN all
they do. Not one peep from a
partisan press followed the ex-
posure of The Journal and this
will be just as easily disregarded,
evaded or explained as little
thing easily remedied. Is the
press callous to evidence? Are
the people so debauched by the
profusion of public expenditure
that they will not punish this
great wrong9 How long will they
