M,RINLEY,s PATRIOTISM.

There are classes of people who have
been criticising President Mckinley to
the verge Of vfndictiveness, impugning
his patriotism, and even insinuating
That the stockholders and gold-bug
manipulators of Wall street have him
under their thumb. 1t is all been be-
cause Of a supposed hardness in his
policy toward Spain. These say he is
too slow. People said the same thing
of Lincoln. Whatever else may be said
Of Mckinley, he is a patriot with no
lack Of bravery. His record as a SOL
der in the ranks, as that as governor
of his state during a strike, as also his
course on the floor of Congress, all at
test his exalted patriotism, his IN
11inching courage. It is astounding
chat newspapers pretending TO great
ness are found caricaturing the chief
of the nation at a time when mistake
might prove fatal, criticising the acts
of the official who has no lack Of wise
advisors and whose sources Of infor-
mation bearing on the situation are far
more numerous than the pubic
dreams, and withal more reliable than
the gossip printed by these fault-fnd-
ing sheets. There is no question that
President Mckinley has been strictly
adhering to the policy which he out
lined months ago, and that in this pol
of
and the confidence Of the country. The
awful tragedy Of the Maine may have,
and no doubt did stir him, as it did all
true Americans. But there was no
sign of sentimental weakness nor dem
onstration Of jingoism upon the part
Of the chief executive. It has been as
If Washington or Lincoln were holding
the reins held by Mckinley. Any in
sinuation, therefore, at this critical
moment in the history Of the country,
Of the presidents surrender of patriotic
devotion to mammon dickering or
stock jobbing is bastard cowardice.
The late-day yellow sheets are prosti-
tutes in decent journalism. Not con-
tent with Haunting their shame in the
eyes Of decency, they would pull viz
tue down to their own libelous level
In the elimination of their saturnalia
OF sensationalism, in which de-
hatchery Of intelligence is attempted,
they revel in wild-eyed inebriety and
howl madly for courage, or like grin
ming Shouts cry for blood. With no
proper comprehension of the moment
Gus responsibility resting upon the soul
and Judgment of the president, I'M
mindful of the demands of decency
they stalk in where angels would dread
10 imprint the lightest footstep.
While there is no question that the
great body of the American people are
intensely angered over the deplorable
condition of the victims of Spanish
cruelty in Cuba, their faith in the pa
iriatism and wisdom of President Nc
Kinley remains as steadfast as the
granite bound coast of New England,
as rigid and mistaken as the backbone
OF the Rocky Mountains, which verte-
brate the continent.

FORT RILEY's ARTILLERY.

The Fourth artillery, which left Fort
Riley, Kansas, the other day, is the
Oldest military organization in the
United States, and its officers and men
are jubiIant over the idea of going to
war. 1t was organized in 1776, and Al
exander Hamilton, the great Federal
list leader was it's first captain. Its
first military service was in the battle
of Long Island, in the Revolutionary
war. In 1882 the descendants of Alex
ander Hamilton presented it with a
banner for 100 years Of service, faith
full and tried. Lieutenant Henry B.
Ledyard of Detroit was formerly Of
the Fourth artillery. At the centennial
of the Inauguration of Washington
held in New York in 1889, Mr.. Ledyard
looked with great interest at his old
battery as it marched past the review
ing stand. He remarked that he once
knew every man in it, but such were
the changes of a few years that he was
able to recognize in the ranks but few
Of his old comrades.

Kidd and BeiIamont,

You have always thought OF Captain
Kidd as q particularly bloody man. a Pr
rate 4 writer in the 81 Louis Globe
Democrat says there is grave doubt that
he ever was . pirate. Il is known that
Captain Kidd was q privstesr against
France. just two hundred years ago, and
that he ives II partnership with Lord
Beuamoni. the English governor OF New
York. Later. Lord Bsllamont found il de-
sirable 10 deny his connection with kidd.
and Kidd was hanged as a pirate, al
though It has always been admitted thAI
his trial was a farce

types, all of which are contributions of
science to the art of war. Predicted
firing may be arranged SO that the en-
emy's vessel may run into the projec-
tiles fired from different batteries at
different moments, but fired so that
they arrive at the desired point the
same moment. All this may be brought
about automatically, controlled from a
central point of observation.
Then the work of the chemist came
in perfecting high explosives, smoke
less powders giving velocities as high
as 1900 feet per second. With the
great increase of power given to the
gun, the target being no longer obscur-
ed from the gunner by veil of smoke,
he may unerringly direct the rapid fire
of his guns.

Governor WolcOti was reelected In Mass
achuseits by plurality Of over -. 90 over
Alexander b. Bruce, the Democratic can
didaie Both parties po.Ied alb u 1900
more votes than a. the last election. The
congressional delegation sta s ten Re
pubAcans and three Democrats.
The Republican candidates were elected
in al but the Third, Ninth and Tenth Mass
achuseits Congressional districts.
In these districts John T. Thayer, John
7. Fitzgerald and Henry 2 NAphen,
Democrats, were successful. Fitzgerald
plurality is almost 500, Naphen's abou,
200 and Thayer's l3I votes. The defeat
OF Congressman WAlker by Mr.. Thayer
was the surprise Of the day.
Mr.. Walker is one Of the old wheel
horses Of the Republican ranks and his
district has always been counted safely
Republican. but he has been losing popu-
larity Of late. Mr.. Fitzgerald, whose dis
trict is the city Of Boston, expected TO be
reelected. He has had three or four terms
in Congress and as be always espOuses the
interests OF Boston he is popular among
his constituents. The Republicans had a
good candidate in Mr.. Krebs, a young man
who had been in the state legislature, and
who was counted upon as a drawing
card from the fact that he fought through
the Santiago campaign in one of the Wor-
cester companies Of the "a Massachusetts,
regiments. The defeat Of Mr.. BarroNs in
the l0,h district is generally regretted. He
is a former Unitarian clergyman Of great
ability and had made All excellent congress
