A National Receiyershin.

A receiver has been asked for Spring
Valley, III. If the court grants the
petition, the city affairs will be taken
out Of the hands Of the people and
vested in trustee as absolutely as if
ne were a czar. Perhaps this will
open the way to take the peoples
franchise from them, for they will have
no power over their own affairs. In
this way. the U. S. supreme court
might settle all the national affairs bv
appointing a receiver If the repuhlic
could be made to default on some Of its
obligations, a91t the receiver could
then operate the nation, and save the
people the time and trouble of chewing
the rag over the finance, tariff and
other rags every, campaign. I think
this would be capital. idea II it is
right to consider receivership for q
city, it is right to consider one for a
state or nation.-J, A. Wayland.

MKINLEY'S MESSAGE,
1T is NOTABLE FOR WHAT 1T

President McKinley's message is
largely historical in character. 1t tells
tne people what has taken place dur.
ing the past eight or ten years, but it
uoes not give much light as to what
is going to take place.
Ihe history of the greenbacks is
gwen, the history of the Cuban insur-
iectlon is given; the history of the
laflH IS given, but clear-cut, definite
ana statesmanlike recommendations
as to what shall be done with the
greenbacks, the Cuban question and
the tariff are not given.
The president is full of faith He
mas faith that the tariff will be all
right II 1t is only given time. He has
1alth that Spain will come out all
right if that government is given
time; he has faith that reciprocity
treaties will settle all commercial diff
cultles with foreign nations-in time.
Inc nearest approach to positive
opinion made by the president is his
recommendation that when any Unit
ed States notes are redeemed in gold,
such notes shall be kept apart, and
only paid out in exchange for gold"
lnls, OF course, cannot be accomplish
eo without an amendment of the ex-
lstlng currency laws, and as it is in
erect contraction of the currency
1t Will meet with decided opposition in
congress.
The message is long, labored and in
the nature of a special plea. The task
oeIore the president was full of diff
culties He was forced to congratu-
late the country on a PROSPERITY
which is not general; to urge none

Between Two Stools"

The republican party has been nlac-
ed BY its tariff legislation between
two: stools" and is therefore in immi-
nent danger of coming to the ground.
The first stool is that of tariff de-
ficit. The party has, through its spe-
cial session of congress, given to the
country the great Dingley bill, product
I've OK deficit to date of over $46, ,000,-
00O, and menacing shortage in the
treasury Of $100. 900 by the end of
the fiscal year.
To amend the bill is to confess judg-
ment and to 60 before the people as an
incompetent lawmaker and to brand
itself as party incapable of carrying
on the business Of the country with
reasonable intelligence.
Not to amend the bill is to allow the
deficit to grow into such dangerous
proportions as to make necessary
bond issue which would be the death
blow to republican supremacy.
The second stool is retrenchment.
To cut the expenses of the government
in order to bring them equal to the
revenue would mean reduction OF
at least s5O,0O000 and that would re.
tire large number of republican con.
gressmen in 1898 to throw the balance
Of power into the hands of the dem.
ocrats.
The situation is sad for the repub.
licans. Whichever stool they choose
they are bound to tumble. II they
tax the trusts they lose the support OF
the men who put the party in power,
If they cut the appropriations they
cause the defeat Of their congressman.
If they are forced to issue bonds the
people will revolt.
The republican party has proved Il.
self incapable Of wise government. and
the sooner it comes to the ground the
better 1t will be for the people Of tn,
United States.

Foretold by poet, prophet, saint ant

Then strife will cease between united

And peace will prosper, when the

who own,
The slave no longer then will bow
the knee,
The king will then be driven from his
throne,
The people regnant, when the world
is free.
Then greed and poverty will pass
away;
And all will share a true prosper-
ity.
The god of Mammon, with his feet Of
clay,
Will be demolished, when the world
is free.
Then will be little law-the Golden
Rule
Will be enthroned--the law Of eaui-
ty.
The thief will vanish with his creed
and school.
And truth will flourish, when the
world is free.
Then will be happy homes, and hanny
men,
And happy women, raised from slav.

wiser nor better measure, never one
better calculated to serve the interests

substance: I'm Pennsylvania the land

all paid back he can repeat the oper-
