Brief Com uent.

1t is said that Mr. Mckinley hopes for
a place in history. He should remem-
Der that history bestOws places on the
merit system.-Dallas News.
If man wants to get fair idea of
how business has fallen off since last
year let him try to get up an excursion
to Canton, O.-WashingtOn Post.
Congress is plugging away at tariff,
Cuba and Hawaii. and now the Presi-
dent proposes to toss another arbitra-
ton treaty into the hopper. Yet last
years campaign is alleged to have been
conducted on the financial question
Washington Post.
All honest advocates of a protective
tariff are being brought to see. by the
daily exhibitions in Washington, that
an honest protective measure is an i'm
possibility. 1t is simply a matter Of
bargain and sale between the different
cabals of public plunderers.-Grand
Rapids Democrat
The Valentine Democrat. [volume] (Valentine, Cherry Co., Neb.) 1896-1898, 1897-07-08

penmanship won him immediate recogni-
ton in the War Department. His regi-
nfent was ordered away, but he was held
to be too valuable a penman to spoil his
fingers handling a big gun. In 1872 he
was detailed to the White House. and
was placed on the official staff by Presi-
dent Grant, and he has been there ever
since. Col. Pruden's duties are mani
fold, yeXlng and perpleXing, but he is jolly
through it all. He puts into writing the
history OF every official transaction in the
White House. Everir nomination made
by the President, from q cabinet minister
to the appointment of Il cross roads post
master whose .salar! is D cents year
and furnish your own postOfice building
with the action of the Senate, is re-
corded by him in handwriting that rivals
copperE,late. All the communications be-
tween the executive mansion and the de-
partments are entered in his books. He
makes the copies of all the Presidents
messages. and personally delivers them to
the President of the Senate and Speaker
of the House. The history of the dOcu
ments which he has thus carried would
make interesting reading. if he would give
the inside facts away. But he won't.
The Valentine Democrat. [volume] (Valentine, Cherry Co., Neb.) 1896-1898, 1897-07-08

y curious instance Of the effect of a
name on the prosperity of q town is re-
ported from Florida. a place there
known as Macon remained At Il stand
still and seemed TO be practically dead
until one Gay its name was changed to
Trilby, and since that time its growth
has been phenomenal. 1t will be a
wanton waste Of a valuable mascot.
however, if this Florida town is al
lowed to mGnopolize the population Civ
ing resources of the new name. New
York is striving by every means in its
power to hoid first place among AmeIi-
can cities and happens also to be in
need Of 4 new name. Why not make
arrangements to transfer this Florida
name? Why not call New York
'Trilby?'

That Free Breakfast Table.

It is curious illustration OF the
height of Inconsistency for the Repub-
lcans to plume themselves on allowing
the poor man the enjoyment OF & free
breakfast table" because the proposed
tax on tea has been abandoned.
How free is the poor mans breakfast
table? Let US look it over moment
and see The table cloth is taxed, the
dishes are taxed, the knives and forks
are taxed. the lumber in the table is
taxed. the chair is taxed, the sugar Is
taxed. and. in fact, about the only thing
that isn't taxed is the tea. which the
Republican reformers are afraid TO tax
but which they may decide to tax be-
fore they get through with the tariff
bill
The Republican tariff tinkers are in a
very embarrassing position. Thus TaF
all they have been able to accomplish
las been 10 vote a gratuity of SJ3,OOO,-
0G0 to the sugar trust and correspond
ing amount of money for the benefit of
importers in general. SO far as secur-
the tariff bill will prove absolutely val
ueleSs for fully twelve months after it
has been passed. What will the adj
ministration do in order to secure rev.
enue?
The Republican party opposes an in
come tax. That would affect the rich
and the rich must be protected at all
hazards. 1t is opposed to an inherit
ance tax, for here again the unearned
increment of fortune is made to pay
tribute to the Government. and such q
thing must never be allowed. How
then. will the treasury be filled?
Perhaps the fear of the reprisal which
the voting masses will surely take may
be overcome and the Republicans final
ly decide to tax tea, beer and coffee.
But should the wholesome terror of the
outraged voter restrain the spOilsmen
from imposing this burden, what then ?
What does 4 merchant do when he
finds that he must have money, and,
although he can't earn anything, yet he
has credit? He borrows. That is what
the Republicans will have to do. 1t is
more than likely that plans are already
laid to issue bonds. They will be need
ed and the Republicans will be happy
to issue them, because they are working
in the interests of bOndhOlders.
Of course, these bonds will be made
payable in gold, but the Republicans
won't have to pay them. That part of
the transaction they will leave for the
people to look after.

The Republican platform adopted at

three men. one of whom is q pronounc-

who is credited with Il secret leaning
toward gold and one who is a genuine
bimetalIist. Now, if the Republicans
wanted bimetalIism would they not,
send bimetallists across the ocean -
urge their cause?
The fact is, the Republican platform
was made to catch votes and not to de-
clare principles. The plank on bimetal
lism did not and does not express the
views of the party leaders. Every one
of the men who control the party ma

bOndhOIders. The administration is
bitterly and unalterably hostile to sill

publican platform was Il lie and the
men who wrote it werc-polticians.
The appointment of the bimetalIic
commission was the silliest, most trans
parent and the shallOwest trick ever
played, and was an insult to the intelli-
gence of fourteen million voters, Demo-
cratic and Republican combined, who
voted for bimetallism; for, say what
they may, the Republican platform
pledges the party to the double stand
ard. But that pledge was a hypOcriti-
cal bit of fustian to fool the voter, and,
having served its purpose, is thrown
aside and disregarded
How sincere the administration is In
its desire to bring about an interna-

Hauua's Hard Fight.

In spite of Hanna's bluff and the
boasting ON the part of his immediate
supporters, the feeling among the rank
and file of the Republican party in
Ohio is anything but confident.
Those who look at the situation with
iudicious coolness remember that the
State was at one time. during the last
Presidential contest. lost to the Re
Eublicans. and that it took barrel of
money to get it away from Bryan The
strong free silver sentiment that almost
swept Ohio from Republican moorings
III 1896 has grown immensely since that
time owing to the fact that promised
prosperity has failed to dawn, and be-
cause the evil effects of the gold stand
ard are making themselves felt more
keenly with every day that passes.
State pride in the Ohio nominee for
President swelled the Republican vote
last November. and at that time the
party was practically harmonious.
