Columbia Record, May IS.
1t will be gratifying to the people OF
Columbia to know that the board OF
health now have the smallpox epidem-
ic in hand and that the disease is
beginning to disappear. The number
of new cases is getting smaller each
day and it is expected that in the not
distant future the pesthouse will be
entirely depopulated.
1t is of interest, also, to know that
Columbia is by no means the only peb-
BILE on the smallpox beach. According
to the official report that comes here
from Washington there is smallpox at
the following places in this state:

There is no doubt but that our peace
commission sitting in Paris and trying
to make a treaty with Spain is being
embarrassed by the attitude and utter
ances of the democratic party now. 1t
is apparent that the Spanish commits
sioners are dallying and killing time,
determined to wait until after election
in the hope that President Mckinley
will be confronted by hostile majority
in congress, a majority pledged to OPP
pose the Presidents plan Of dealing
with the Spanish possessions that have
fallen into our hands. If it was worth
while to fight this war it is worth while
to secure the results with legal treaties.
Let the president be sustained by a
majority friendly to him.

Army Favoritism.

A great deal has been said and
printed about the appointment OF
"sons of fathers" grandsons and neph-
ews to staff appointments. The presl-
dent did appoint less than forty young
men who happened to have illustrious
ancestors, but they were all bright ac-
complished men, who had made repu-
tations in their own sphere ana who
were anxious to serve their country by
going to the front With less than half
a dozen exceptions all of these men did
good work after they had few weeks
experience. The records show that
the young men in the army did the
best work; were more energetic and
efficient than many of the older ones.
A few figures will show exactly how
many favorite sons the president APP
pointed, and like all other criticisms
and complaints the official figures will
show how a single example has been
taken for the whole.
President Mckinley appointed 1886
general and staff officers. OF these
thirty three were sons of distinguished
ancestors, twenty-five were "sons of
fathers" as critics have called them,
four were grandsons, three were neph-
ews, one was sOn-in-law and four
were appointed, as the yellow journals
declare, by social "pull."
OF all the 835 appointments but three
were President McKinley's personal
appointments, one was personal to
Vice President Hobart; six by personal
recommendation of the Secretary of
War and one by that of Senator Hanna,
but there were thirty-nine other sena.
tors who asked the same favor. and
the president granted what they desired.
OF all the staff appointments forty
were chosen by senators and appointed
on their recommendation. Ten of
these senators were democrats, and of
these more than one asked for and re-
ceived more than one appointment.
Twenty-six staff officers were appointed
on recommendation of representatives
in congress. Certainly if the represen-
tatives of the people could not recon-
mend appointments, to whom could the
president turn for advice?

A copy.of the official ballot appears in
this issue Of the REPUBLICAN. Voters
should look at it and famiIariZe them
selves with it. There are just two
ways Of voting this ballot If you
want TO vote the straight ticket of
either party put a cross in the circle of
that party. That votes the whole
straight ticket which is under that
circle. If you do not want TO vote
straight party ticket, but want to vote
for one or more candidates on other
tickets, do not put cross IN the circle
Of ANY ticket, but place Il cross in the
square opposite the name Of eUe,y can
didate for whom you desire to vote.
In our opinion the right way for YOU
TO vote this fall il TO put "a cross in the
circle ut the head Of the republican
tickle, which ticket occupies the lirst
or left hand column. III at is enough.
Then fold Your ticket and pass 1t to-
the judges. That registers your vote

good times, for unfolding the presi-
dent in his diplomatic contest against
Spain and for good, clean, honorable
and able state, district, county and

Stand BY the President.
From the Inter Ocean.

From the Inter Ocean.
1t is clear now that William Nc.
Kinley's tour through the Middle West
is of epoch making significance. Several
of our Presidents have made tours Of
the country, but no other President is
ever did 50 under such circumstances
as the present. Other Presidents have
spoken to the people on what their adj
ministration and their parties had done
in years past. President Mckinley is
speaking to the people OH questions
that one year ago had no place in the
minds of our statesmen or party
leaders. Other Presidents have pointed
the people to the record Of deeds that
had been done. President Mckinley
faces the problems of the future.
The Nation stands at crossroads
of destiny. Tie spirit of pioneer
Americanism urges it OH to great
future AS the representative of this
spirit, President Mckinley exhorts it
to be confident, bold and loyal in the
discharge of its new duties. He is not
preaching Il new crusade, but he is ask
ing the people to stand with him 80
that wherever destiny shall lead us,
we will have hearts stro.g enough to
meet every responsibility" He is not
Sinking responsibility, but on the
other hand, assures the people that he
is willing to assume the responsibility,
however heavy it may be. He wishes
them only to record their desire "to
bear the burdens that have come with
victory, that they may fully enjoy the
glories of victory
At the beginning of new epoch,
looking out trustfully into the future
he says to the people that they must
gather the fruits of victory and must
meet the duty of carrying forward the
great trust of civilization that has been
committed to them" There is in these
words the earnest pathos that charac-
terized the address of Lincoln when he
insisted: 1--WE must do right as God
gives us to see the right" No one can
read the Presidents st. Louis speeches
without the conviction that William
Mckinley is making the strongest ap-
peal heard since the days Of Abraham
Lincoln to national conscience and
national pride. He is not asking for
personal support. He is calling upon
the people to stand together in main
tanning and guarding with sacred care
the new opportunities that have been
placed within their reach.

This is largely campaign of make
believe. on the part of the democratic
leaders. They are trying to make the
people believe what they do not be-
lieve themselves. They do not believe
times are hard now. They know bet
ter, but they are willing to try to play
the people for suckers. They do not
believe in the sick soldier racket they
have been working. They know that
no army of 230, 900 men was ever raised
drilled and equipped SO quickly, nor
cared for so well; that no army ever
accomplished such matchless results
with so little loss of life. They know
praise and not criticism is due the
management. And so OH through the
list. But those fellows must have
something to make their campaign on,
and if they can make their campaign
on such things and win they think it is
as we'll as to have better issues.
