MKISLEY RUNCOED

President Mckinley hardly got away
from Mark Hanna's leading strings
when he ran against the naughty bunco
man. And it happened in Troy,
N. Y, too, the city of collars and cuffs.
1t seems that the collar and cuff mo-
nopoly. sizing up Mr.. Mckinley, deter
mind to turn his visit to profitable
account. So, it gave $500 to have the
reception to the President of the Uni
ted States held in one of its factories.
1t was a great blowout and after it was
all over one of the members of the firm
came to the smiling President and
asked him as a special favor to put
his name down in an autograph album.
Now, if there is anything in this
line that delights Mckinley more than
signing high tariff bill it is putting
his name down in an autograph album,
so he hesitated not a minute but put
his signature where it was desired.
Now, it appears that the President
signed an endorsement of a certain
brand of collars made by this firm. and
this endorsement is to be Autographed
under big head of the President and
mammoth posters printed and stuck
up throughout the United States as an
advertising scheme
Verify, Hanna should be careful how
he allows Mckinley to get out of the
leading strings. There might have
been a big campaign contribution in
that signature, if it had been properly
worked. Still, this is not the first
time this same collars and cuffs mo-
nopoly has made a big thing out of
McKinleyism

BRYAN and WHEAT.

The Richmond State is righteously
tricky goldbug press for attempting to
use, as an argument for the continue
ton of the gold standard, the present
rise in the price of wheat
The idea, declares our contemporary
of the rise in the price of wheat occa-
stoned by an unusual shortage of the
crop abroad, and speculative action in
this country, changing the necessity
and advisability of the demand and
the justice of the claim for the free
coinage of silver is so absurd to the
common sense of the people that it
deserves no consideration. The State
adds:
What. for one argument alone. is the
price of one years crop of wheat in COM
parison with our enormous debt and the
justice of our claim TO pay it in either
silver or gold?
Do the advocates of the gold standard
and papers like the World imagine for a
moment that those who favor the free
coinage of silver are so simple-minded as
to allow themselves to be deluded into the
cause of the temporary increase in the
price of one years crop of wheat?
That gold papers should present such an
idea as an argument shows how they
strain after arguments of any weight
whatever. real or Specious.
The price of one years wheat crop, in
deed, in comparison with our enormous
debt, national, State, municipal, corporate
and individual, amounting to something
like $4,000 000 000 In comparison with the
interest charged on this colossal debt,
what is $500 600, 600 the value of the entire
crop of the year at SLIGO a bushel?
To have it settled beyond the peradven
ture of a doubt or question that every dol
lar Of debt due in the United States is due
in gold. the BODYBUILDING classes, no
doubt, would be willing to give several
times $780, COO.
Mr.. Bryan will not change his position
because there is no reason that he should
change.
Of the great masses of the people, he is
still the idol, and his position upon public
questions meet their views as those of no
other public man before the country to-
day. If he is living and in good health
there is no question that he will be the
standard bearer to carry the Democratic
party to victory in 1900, and take his seat
in the White House Just one hundred
years after the immortal Jefferson.

INJUNCTION VS.. TRIAL BY JURY.

AS to the rank injustice of govern
ment by injunction there is no longer
any doubt, whatever. Even those who
have heretofore defended it under a
mistaken idea as to the scope Of it, de-
fend it no longer.
In the case of the striking miners,
it amounted to little less than Cypress
ion. Picture three hundred gaunt,
outside a mine waiting with more or
less hope for an opportunity to pur-
suade the working miners to quit. No
thought of INDUCING in any sort of
lawlessness or trespassing on the COM
pany's sacred property was in their
minds. But along comes a deputy and
serves a writ of injunction against
them, for interfering in some way or
other, known to the court, with the
unfed miners look blankly and silently
at the deputy, who, soft hearted man,
says it's all right if they only keep
moving. So, the weary and starved
strikers get up and emulate Napoleon's
army in marching down the hill and
up again. They obey the court orders
and keep moving, but by and by the
deputy receives other orders, which
are to the effect that they must keep
r1pvipU in ono diroptior In a,,Iog 10
fully comply with the requirements of
this court order under the Injunction
proceedings, it would be manifestly
necessary for the strikers to go clear
round the world to get back to the
working miners whom they wished to
persuade to quit work In plain words.
the injunction proceedings denied them
the right of free assemblage and free
speech They contemplated nothing
unlawful and there was no evidence.
whatever. of any intention to use in

This is one phase of government By
injunction witnessed not long ago at
the mines in the Monongah region. 1t
is a case of rank abuse of the writ of
injunction, but no more OUTRAGEOUS
than Others, which have given rise to
a universal protest against this new
means of abridging the constitutional
rights of the people.
We have furnished an instance of how
the operators use it to enlist the forces
of the law on their side Now. sup

etc, the proceedings would be some
thing like this: Smith. Jones and
Brown, operatives in a coal miro, en-
ployed by the mine owner at certain
wage, are dissatisfied with the amount
of their compensation and fear to
make demand for an increase In their
distress and doubt they go into a Uni
ted States Court and ask for a writ of
injunction, for they know in a general
way that that writ, issued at the pray
er Of their employers, has been useful
in settling strike as the employer

Half dazed, his jaw broken, his face a

Aewiy entered freshman, was found
wandering about the campus after the
rush between the two lower classes.
In the struggle some one put his heel
on kurtz's face, and as a result he is
disfgured for life, and may have sus-
tanned an injury of the brain An ex-
animation showed that piece of flesh
had been torn from one nostril The
upper lip hung only by shred and the
ragged nature of the tear made the in
jury more serious. All the front teeth
were gone. Four teeth had been
knocked out of the lowed jaw and the
bone in which they had been imbedded
were broken out with them Both the
upper and lower jaws were smashed
and the flesh of all the face crushed
and bleeding.
There were two other casualties.

right leg broken just above the ankle.

A MAGNIFICENT PROGRAMME
or Races Arranged for the Seventeenth
Annual West Virgins State Fair.

OF Races Arranged for the Seventeenth
Annual West Virginia State Fair.
We desire to call the attention of
our readers particularly to the splen-
did programme announced for the sew
enteenth annual State Fair of the West
Virginia Association, commencing at
Wheeling, September 6. The races
open on Tuesday, the 7th, and continue
for four days, the premiums to be run
for aggregate $4,000. The races are
twelve in number, three for each Of
the four racing days, and the indica-
tons are that there will be more horses
on the splendid model track than ever
before.
The first days races will consist Of
a $50 pace for $3.50, 2:27 trot for
$500, and a 2:18 pace for $500. We'd
nesday there will be 2:32 pace, a
2:40 trot and 2:24 pace, for $500 each.
Thursday there will be 2:40 pace, a
2:22 trot and a 2:14 pace, for an ag-
gregate of $1,000, and Friday the pro
gramme calls for a 2:30 trot, a 2:1S
pace and a 2:1S trot, for $500 each. The
fact that there is limit of three races
each day ensures finish of all events
before out-of-town people leave the
grounds to catch their trairs-a depar-
ture from the practice of other years
which will meet with the approval OF
visitors from a distance.
