ship will rise above partisanship. The
rule Of the people will come again; the
people, upon whom our institutions rest,
for whom they were created and BY
whom they shall be preserved; the peo-
pie in the broad and only true sense the
people as believed in, loved and trusted
by Jefferson, by Lincoln, by Bryan and
by all the great souls that have come
nearest to the hearts of men and there
fore most in harmony with the infinite
purpose of God.
Gov. Pingree of Michigan delivered an
address on municipal progress in New
York Thursday evening in which he re-
viewed his career of ten years as COVER
nor and mayor. He said:
"This period has been to me more like
one of war than peace. 1 was selected
as candidate by the most influential
people. I discovered after election that
the railroads were paying less thar their
share of taxes. 1 said so and the rail-
road support Immediately left me. I dis
covered that the gas companies were
charging exhorbitant rates. said so and
the owners of gas stock turned their
backs on me. I found the bankers spec.
ulating with city funds. I denounced
the practice and they denounced me as
unsafe. I attacked the turnpike roads
and their owners called me an anarchist.
Every time I attempted to correct an
abuse lost large and influential class
of supporters.
You will not be surprised that have
come to lean UPON the common people
as the real foundation upon which good
government must rest.
GAS to remedy for these evils, my
experience has brought me to the con-
clusion that the streets of a city belong
to the people, and no mayor or common
council has right to barter them away.
The remedy against many of these evils
is municipal ownership and entire aboli-
litlon of monopolies, or, if monopolies
must exist, which depend upon public
favor, their absolute control and Deepen
dence upon the people. This remedy
will not only solve many municipal
problems, but will bring other agencies
of commerce under proper subsection.
We are jobbing out the sovereign power
of the people to spectators. My ex-
perieuce is that those who stand FORE
most in the synagogue of Sunday and
are engaged the rest of the week in brib-
ing aldermen, or getting up stock job
bing schemes, are the most dangerous
members of society.
"How long can government last
which increases constantly the burdens
o: the industrial class and gives it to
those who prey upon the bone and sinew
of the nation? 1t IS the duty of govern
ment to protect the weak against the
strong, the poor against the selfshness
Of wealth. I say right here that, unless
the Republican party comes out as a
champion of the average man and his
welfare, and, unless it ceases to cater to
syndicates, trusts and monopolies, it will
be buried in oblivion. We must begin
by advocating municipal ownership Of
natural monopolies, and take away from
them the item Of profit, and relieve the
wage Garner to that extent" r

g President cKinley is weary .: Han
ma posing as his political creator, when
he knows, as we all know, that he had
no more to do with McKinley's nonina-
ton and election than with the transit
Of Venus. The people wanted Mckinley,
and that was the end of it.
'After the Toledo convention, where
Bushnell was treated like dog by Mr..
Hanna, all political intercourse ceased
between them. During the contest just
closed Senator Foraker visited Colum-
bus three times, but he was not inside
the committee rooms in all that time.
Gov. Bushnell went once, and then at
the urgent personal solicitation of Chair
man Nash. Poor Nash had his troubles.
The day before the election the opposi-.
ton to Hanna was so pronounced that
he wired several chai1men: sFor Gods
sake quit fighting Hanna and deal few
blows at the common enemy Mr..
Hanna's management was marked by
the boldest brutality toward those who
desired to be his friends. A Republican
will be chosen for the unexpiree term of
Senator Sherman and also for the full
term beginning March 8, 1899. He will
be elected by Republican votes alone.
It is possible that there will be one cleo
ton for the short term and another for
the long term. In neither case will it
be Mark A. Hanna. The result reached
will be satisfactory to the country, too,
and to President Mckinley, who has
wearied OF Hanna's self-importance. It
will be satisfactory to Republican con-
gressmen, who are tired of Mr.. Hanna's
assumption of authority as the mouth
piece of the administration, and who are
kept dancing in attendance upon him
for any favor they may DESIRE"
President Mckinley found it necessary
to make speech or two while in Ohio
to vote, and among the good things he
said the following is worthy of repetition: :
"The government and the people are
inseparable under our system. We could
not seperate the government from the
people if we would and we would not if
we could. This unity is the strength of
our political structure. The people,
therefore, have every incentive to noble
purpose and right action in government.
They are the benefciaries of the govern
ment and have every reason to love our
institutions and regard our laws, because
they support and make them. There is
no greater enemy to free government
than careless and Indifferent citizen
ship; there is no better friend than the
vigilant, enlightened and patriotic citi-
zen. Responsible citizenship comes
from direct participation in the conduct
of the government, and imposes equal
responsibility upon every citizen. If we
could quicken and increase appreciation
of this responsibility; and every citizen
was made to feel it's weight and import
ance it would 60 tar toward improving
our political and national life"

Charles L. Kurtz, former chairman of
the Ohio Republican committee has Civ
en- the Chicago Tribune the. following
statement: ..
"Before the Legislature meets the Re-
publicans of this state will be asked to
show their senatorial preference, and Mr..
Hanna will have no following that will
make him considered even leading can
didate for the senatorship: The returns
of the recent election show that he is
not wanted by the party. The days OF
Mark Hanna's bossism are over. The
people here are against him, and that
settles it. No Democratic vote will be
needed. 1t will be accomplished by the
Republicans themselves and will be done
decently and in order. The party is
dead if it doesn't wipe out Hanna.

. PRESIDENT OF URUGUAY KILLED.
During national fete which was held
at Montevideo yesterday President ]
Idisrte Borda was shot and almost in.
stantly killed by a youth named Ar.
redondo. The assassination occurred
just as the President was leaving the
Cathedral, where TIE Deum had been
sung. Senior Cuestas, president of the
Senate, has assumed the presidency o.
the republic ad interim.
Senior J. Idiarte Bords was elected
president of Uruguay for the term ex.
tending from March, 1894, to 1898.
The fete at which he was asssssinated
was being held in celebration of the
independence of Uruguay. which was
achieved On August rs, 1925. An at
tempt was made to assassinate the
President on April 81 last. An I'm.
known man met President Borda on the
street and shot at him. The President
escaped without injury, and the crimi-
nal was captured. Another attempt to
sssassinate him was made on May 90,
when he received bomb sent from La
Plata, Argentina. 1t was in box and
80 arranged that it would explode
when the box was opened. Fortunate
ly, suspicion was aroused, and the box
was turned over to the police and de.
stroyed.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE is the price OF
liberty" said Jefferson; he might we'll
have said that it is the price of economy
also; for as some men strive to usurp
power, others work just as earnestly
to hold on to their perquisites. Its
human nature to do 80. The taxpay'
ers, however, must consult their inter
eat too, aud if 5000, 600 more is to be paid
out in 1899 for interest on the State
debt, without raising the tax rate, they
must see that no law which retrenches
expenses be repealed and that new acts
for further retrenchment be passed.
Let no one, therefore, give ear to the
special plea that sheriffs and their de.
puties, special or otherwise, should be
INDUCED in trip to Richmond now
and then to carry prisoners, and, Incl
dentally, for recreation, when the new
method of sending for them saves over
5000 a year. That is one thirty
second of the $20O,0O0 wanted. Let
them see that their representatives are
pledged to take no step backward in
that matter.

"REFEREE" BowDEN says the Vir-
ginia republicans will combine with
populists or any body else to defeat the
democrats" Why, of course, they will,
and so will the populists, if they follow
the advice of the leader Of their party
in North Carolina, Senator Butler, who
tells them to nominate straight ticket
and Eight the democrats to the last
ditch" But nearly all the Virginia re-
publicans, except those to whom Offices
have been given or promised, have been
set against their own party by the selfish
and arbitrary course pursued by their
few leaders, whom the administration has
recognized, and almost all the populis' 8
who left the democratic party have now
come back to it, 80 that it makes very
little difference to the democrats of the
State what either the republicans or
populists say or do, especially as they
are no longer handicapped by the de.
pressing and blighting influence Of MIR.

Returning KIondikers.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 90
The schooner J. M. Colman, which left
St. Michaels at the mouth of the Yukon
July %. arrived here to-day. The Col
man brings four passengers who have
been in the Klondike, and who left
Dawson City July II. They all tell
stories of the richness of the Klondike,
Bonanza and Eldorado creeks, but all
say that very few clean-ups have been
made since the early summer.
VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 26.-More
good news has come from the Klon-
dixie. The steamer City of Topeka,
which has just arrived here, Left juneau
just after the arrival there of Joe Berch,
James Mckay and Archie Shelp, who
made the trip from Dawson City to
Dyea in twenty days. They did not
come any further than Juneau, but in
tend to go back to the mines. Shelp
spoke very highly of Stew art and
Indian rivers, although there have
been no sensational finds, from S10,.
900 to $15.O 900 being taken out of these
rivers. Close upon 100000 in dust
had gone down on river steamers, others
intending to take the steamer Portland
at St. Michaels. Shelp gives list OF
nine Juneau men who struck it rich,
having secured from $4,000 to $780,
900 each. About dozen men who
went north within the last few weeks
intending to go to the mines, came
back on The Topeka and say that many
will follow them. The trail from
Skaguay is now entirely blocked. On
the Dyea trail, packers are charging
forty cents pound. ALI are unani-
NOUS in saying that men cannot get
their outfits over before winter closes in.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 90
The schooner Fred. Sanders arrived
early this morning thirty days from
St. Michaels, Alaska, with six pssseng,
ers from the Klondike country. Only
three of the number have been engaged
in mining but all are much pleased
with their prospects and intend to re-
turn in the spring. The total amount

Mr.. McNamee said There are about

unless the Yukon steamers make anoth-
or trip this year there will be short
age of provisions at Dawson. The re-
ports of rich strikes on the Stewart
river are untrue. Bars pan out we'll

not produced to exceed two million
dollars.
The steamer Portland is due from
st. Michaels, Alaska, to-day, and for
many days speculation has been rife as
to the amount of gold she will bring
down from Klondike fields.

POLITICAL.

Hon. P. G. Lester, ex-member of Con-
gress, is spoken of as candidate for the
House this fall for the counties Of Floyd
and Franklin, and it is thought that if
Mr.. Lester Ca n be induced to make the
race he wl.l deem these two counties,
as he die the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict several years ago.
Reform and retrenchment measures
will attract much attention next winter.
a great many members of the legisla-
ture will go to Richmond fully commit
ted to use all of their influence to cut
down expenses aad to reform the
methods of administering the govern
ment wherever these things are needed
and can be accomplished. A good deal
of attention will no doubt be given to
the judiciary and to criminal expenses.
All of the county judges are to be elect
ed next winter.
Many schemes for reducing the ex.
penses of the State are being talked
about. The latest one is to reduce the
county and city superintendent of
schools. A plan suggested by some is
to have a superintendent for the
schools for each congressional district.
Many to whom this plan has been
suggested believe it to be q
good scheme as it would net
only reduce expenses but would enable
the State to have the very best mate
rial available for superintendents.
1t is expected that there will be a
lively contest for the democratic nomi
nation for Congress in the Richmond
district next year. Captain John Lamb
will, of course, stand for reelection.
He has made popular representative
and being man who improves on &C.
quaintapce he will be hard to defeat.
Hon. George D. Wise is lying low and
saving wood. He is ambitious to re-
turn to Congress and chances are he
will enter the race. 1t is thought Ex-
Congressman Tazewell Elicit will be.
come candidate also and there is some
talk of Judge Clopton, of Manchester,
being brought out by his friends.

probable that his confession will save his

tried at the coming term of court.
Johnson was this morning arraigned
before Judge Kimball, charged with
the murder of Marshall. Without
hearing any evidence the examination
was continued until Tuesday next.
