 lCopied From Peixotto's Portrait in olLI
 As she entered the hotel Tuesday. leaning on the arm Of Chairman Bell. the cheers were heartier than those that had greeted the president-elect a moment before. Everyone knew that Mother Mckinley's hour of triumph was at hand The relatives and neigh bors who had come from Canton all talked of the fatigues of their journey. but she was sprightly and vigorous At her advanced age she is still strong. mentally and physically.
 The eheeriest person on the train was Mother" Mckinley. She watched the greetings given as the train rolled along with the keenest interest When she herself was recognized she nodded pleasantly and chatted with her travel ing panions.
 She has read all about the prepara- tions for the inaugurations and con trasted them with former inaugura- tions. The weather prophecies, too have received due attention. and it may interest the general public to know that Mother Mckinley, from the SAofNiiohSt pl tA DcIltnct. Ads LTdNH the prophecy that the weather March I will be bright and sunshiny.7
 The mother of the president-elect does not quite understand newspaper reporters, but tries to oblige them flor Williams sake" When she talks. her answers are to the point and worth re- membering.
 Since the death of her husband. few years ago, Mother" Mckinley has lived with members of her family in Canton. near the home of her son Mai. Me Kinley's daily walk or drive was usual ly to see her. When the major was i'll she went to see him regularly twice a day, in spite of the inclemency of the weather. Mother and son are mutual ly devoted, and no lover could be more tender in his attentions that is the pres ident-elect to the grand old lady of the Mckinley family.

Saint Monroe.
Il OF ulSO. -
S. +. Call.

1t is in the name of the patron
saint Of the State Department, Saint
Monroe, that Hawaii is to be an
nexed; because if the Hawaiian
Islands are not brought under the
American flag, they must perforce,
owing to the conspiracy which was
so successfully carried out under
the Harrison Administration, come
under the protection Of the British
or Japanese flag, as they are too fee
BILE to stand alone. Monroeism can
not tolerate foreign flag in the
Pacific 1000 miles from the nearest
American port; and therefore, SO
that the bones of Monroe mauy rest
in peace, the American coast-line is
to be pushed 1000 miles west To
an English reader this may sound
absurd; it might even be thought
that it was written in spirit of jest.
| am indulging in no levity. In the
East or the West, in North or South
America, the Monroe Doctrine can
be stretched so as to cover every
thing; and when the Monroe Doc
trine is preached it is a Jehad to
which all the faithful must give
heed and fight for the holy cause.
Some of these day a. particularly
bellicose Secretary of State or Presi-
dent will construe the Monroe Doc
trim as applying to Canada, and will
insist that the integrity of the
United States demands that Great
Britain abandon Canada and pre-
sent it with her compliments to
her southern neighbours; and then,
il by that time the United States
has navy powerful enough to cope
with that of England, the supreme
test of Monroeism will have come

Wilcoxen, negro desperate living
six miles from town, was assassi-
mated last night. He was shot
through the window while he was at
supper, the ball penetrating his
brain. Wilcoxen was tried some time
ago for attempted assault on a white
girl in this county and cleared for

against him was strong, on account
of his bad character, and there is
reason to believe this resulted in his

dent-this was in the South Seas,
you know, where revolutionists are
prudent - and had been content
merely to keep his head above the
waves aud on his own shoulders.
But now he struck out boldly. He
resolved upon an utter destruction
OF all ancient anti-republican mem
cries. Not vestige-that is, not a
vestige that could be converted into
money-should be left Of the old
time monarchical superstition. He
decided upon measure terrible in
its effectiveness, appalling in its
cold-blooded disregard Of humanity.

like republicans falter, not once did
they hesitate. The monarchy was

what am l bid7" sang the auc-
tioneer-if you do not bear in mind
that this occurred in the South
Seas you may think it's a bit of
comic opera-"what am / bid for
this helmet, presented to Kalakaua
by the Emperor of Germany? Look,
ladies and gentlemen, upon this fine
historical relief What am i bid
what am | bid?"
So the ladies and gentlemen OF
the republic bid; and Kate Field,
who happened to be in Honolulu at
the time, bid also; and a German,
unrsasonably, ungallantly loyal to
his Emperor, bid also.
For, to the Germans crude, I'M
business like mind, there was some
thing shocking, something barbar-
ously American, as he phrased it,
in putting up at public auction
Kings gift to a King. So he outbid
the thrifty adherents of the new re-
public and the indignant literary
lady, and carried his Emperor's
present home with something OF the
feeling the devout worshipper might
have for shrine which has escaped
detilement.
AS to the Hawaians' feeling in
the matter this was clearly not the
revolutionists' affair. The royalsts
watched the proceedings with rage
and despair. The associations, the
sentiments that chung about the
throne of the last of long royal
line, the personal mementos Of their
kings were to be scattered here and
there all over the world, to be hawk
ed about by curio vendors and sell
ers OF souvenirs. But they were
weak; they could not prevent what
to. them was Dissertation. They
were poor; they could not outbid
their conquerors.
However, to the prudent patriot,
the vandal for revenue only, dol,
lar is dollar. Business is business
and not sentiment. In his zeal the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs left the
weighty business of his Office to his
deputy and devoted himself exolu-
sively to getting good prices for the
merchandise on hand.
The disinterested patriotism Of
the South Sea revolutionist has been
questioned by cynics But let no
man impugn his devotion to BUSH

Governor Boies on Prosperity.
From the Farmers Tribune.

from the Farmers Tribune.
Ex-Governor Horace Boies, in let
ter on the new prosperity, accounts
for it by applying the law of supply
and demand, which he says is work
ing to the benefit of Americans be-
cause we have the supply, and Europe
has created the demand. In conclus-
ion he says:
How will it be when the tide sets
back? What will take the place of
this foreign gold when it goes back
to its present owners, as it certainly
will? Silver alone can do this. An
infinite creator provided it. The best
genius of all the ages put it in the fun
damental law of this nation and made
it money. An inscriptions band of
pirates came in the night, when the ma
rion slept and drove it from its birth
right that might fill the place with
paper promises to pay, on which they
could collect interest; to pay with
gold they have not got and cannot
get, and once in about twenty years
the holders of these promises to pay,
and other promises of a like charac-
ter, get scared ane then another pan
ic, another period of woe, and want
and gloom.
Are we so dull that we cannot read
these lessons of the past. What has
been the trouble3 Was it too much
standard nancy or too little; too
much real money or too many prom
Uses to pay?
LET the plain common sense of
this nation solve that problem and we
are safe.
1T needs no monetary commission
to tell us where the trouble lies. Put
silver back into the financial system
of this nation upon terms that will
make it the exact equal with gold,
that will give us a circulating medi-
UNI based upon gold and silver alike,
one and inseparable, now and for
ever and the whole world can never
tear it out again. Give us enough of
this and the age of money panics will
be over"

Frank ID. Jackson was president of
an insurance company. f. M. Drake
was retired railroad president. L. M.
Shaw is president of two banks and his
relations with the Insurance companies,
the railroad companies and other cor
Poration interests are peculiarly close
and intimate. Are the nearly 100000
farmers of Iowa content with the idea
of allowing few railway and insurance
officials to select a governor of the state
every two years? Are the $1,000 labor
ers, the $4,000 teachers, the 16,5O0 car
penters, the 10000 clerks, the $500
miners and the $1,000 merchants Of
Iowa entirely willing to allow a few
bankers and corporation officials to
WELD absolute control of the affairs
of state government from year to year?

records of his home county prove the
fact. Hon. Frederick Z. White "farms his
farm" Whenever an insurance pres
ident, railroad president or a
bank president is nominated for Of

own interests Pr O. Stuart.

At the present rate Of increase the
national deficit of the current fiscal
year will far surpass anything in our
history. But two months in the tiis-
cal year have passed and the deficit
is already $26.O00,O0O. The largest
deficit Of any year under the Wilson
bill was $40, 900, 600, and. for the last
fiscal year it was only $4,000, 600.
This year it is likely to be 100000
900, exceeding even the $4,000, 900 of
the last year under the Mckinley law.
At the regular session of congress if
something is not done to provide ad
ditional revenues, bond issues seem
inevitable. The present cash in the
treasury is abou 1890, 900, 900, but of
this sum about $40, 900, 900 is in the
