The Minneapolis Review
IN
GENERAL.

cause can be benehted thereDy.
EmpOria Republican: There Is only
one war party in America, and that Is
the American people.
Norton Champion (Pop): We are
patiently waiting for another Republi-
can installment OF the beautiful story
concerning the divorce OF wheat and
silver.
Cottonwood Falls Leader: The only
rivalry which exists between our army
and navy is the very laudable one of
seeing which can do the braVest and
most effective fighting
Hiawatha World (Rep.): II the money
squandered on the Spanish war could
have been spent toward building the
Nicaragua canal, humanity might have
been more greatly benefited.
Osborne News (Pop.): All farmers
who are subscribers to Republican news
papers should tender their editors one
bushel Of wheat instead Of one silver
dOllar-the former In their estimation
being the more valuable.
Garden City Sentinel (Pop) 1t is
on the other foot now. Have any Of
you people noticed the Republican pa
pers saying anything about the relative
prices of silver and wheat since the
collapse Of young Mr.. Letter?
Emporia Republican: The bloodiest
battle of the war was fought near
Santiago From the way the Spaniards
showed up both in craftsmanship and
bravery 1t must be admitted that the
job Of whipping them will be no picnic.
Augusta Journal (Pop): The fact is
wheat rose steadily during a year from
20 cents to $1.85 and fell In two weeks
back to 70 cents with Letters failure
is proof conclusive that 1t was manipu-
lation and not McHanna's prosperity
that caused the fluctuation.
Hutchinson Democrat: The Monroe
doctrine as q policy and power to
prevent the governments from interfer-
ing with the established governments Of
this hemisphere can never again be
urged by this government In settling
with foreign governments II we annex
Hawaii.
Emporia Republican,: No church will
refuse a contribution when the saucer
is passed around, nor should the gov
ernment refuse to receive so great
contribution as the Hawaiian islands.
After we get them If we conclude we
don't want them we can sell them or
give them away.
Atchison Champion (Rep); We do
not believe in big, brutal majorities.
A close county or close State forces
each party to put up it's best material,
and only such persons should be put
forward for Office who think of their
country first, their party next, and
themselves last or never.
Minneapolis Review (Pop): The
common weapon used by political wire
pullers is the branding Of traitor applied
to every other man who does not fall
in with every device that has been con-
cocted by said schemer. 1t is what men
do more than what they say that is the
best evidence Of their honesty Of pur-
pose.
Garden City Sentinel (Pop.): No one
ever pretended to say that the prices
Of silver and wheat went right along
together every day, week or month,
but that year in and year out they trav-

average price Of wheat for 1898 Is deter
mined there will not be enough differ
ence to crow over, from present indica-
tions.
Lyons Eagle (Pop): If it is true, as
Brother COnkling and other Republican
papers asserted, that the high price of
wheat, etc. (after the bulk OF it had left
the producers hands, was owing to the
policy Of the Republican party, how
does it happen that just as the wheat
Is nearly ready to market by the pro-
ducers that the party runs the price
down? Why don't the party keep 1t up
SO that the producers will get the ben
eft? Tell us how it happens
Neodesha Sun (Pop): Mr.. Griffith,
Of Ohio, who figured prominently in the
Senatorial contest in the Ohio Legisla-
ture, and whose wife 1t will be remem-
