JUST why it is that the men shaping
the policy of the Democratic party
think it judicious to take up in these
days of prosperity an issue upon which
they could not succeed in the dark
days of 1896 is past finding out The
Democratic Congressional Committee
which is to manage the campaign for
members of Congress in the Congress
sional contest has decided to make the
principles of the Chicago platform the
battle-cry for 1885, 1t seems little
curious that they should attempt this
in view of the fact that they must lose
greatly among that large element of
the population in which they made
the greatest gains in 1896, the farmerf.
Then the farmers were in bad shape,
as result of the low tariff which had
been put into operation under the
Cleveland ADMINISTRATION, and with
low prices prevailing, heavy mortgages
and difficulty in obtaing funds, they
welcomed the men who talked glibly
about more money and who insisted
that prosperity could not come to
them except through the free coinage
of silver. Free coinage was not
adopted, yet no class of men in the
whole wide world have been more
prosperous than the farmers of the
United States in the past year. Their
expectations of bread stuffs alone dur
ing the year 1897 was more than
double that Of 1896, and was greater
than that Of 1895 and 1894 put together.
Their expectation of provisions in 1897
was greater than in 1896 or 1895, their
expectations of barley exceeded in 1897
that of 1895; their sales of corn abroad
in 1897 were 35 per cent. in excess of
1895 and of corn-meal more than 100
per cant. Of wheat the expectations |
in 1897 were over so per cent. greater |
in value than in 1896 and SO on through |
the entire list The result has been |
that the year 1897 saw more farm
mortgages cancelled, more content
ment and genuine prosperity than in
many years, and if Democratic leaders
expect to retain their hold upon the
farm vote which they obtained by the
false assertions of 1896 they will find
themselves very much mistaken when
the vote is counted next November.

DRAGGING THE RIVER.
Down Went Mcsweeney to the Bottom of
the Sea-Nit.

the Sen-NIt.
A party Of men under the direction
OF Marshal Dye were at work Sunday
dragging the Ohio near the incline on
the West Side, searching for the body
of Morgan McSweeuey, whom the po-
lice believe committed suicide by
drowning, Although most thorough
search was made the missing murderer
was not discovered. 1t is more than
probable that If McSweeney did drown
himself his body is now many miles
below the city, as on the night the
murder occurred the river was high
and the current very strong. There is
no evidence that McSweeney made
away with himself, except, as the police
say, that theory seems as reasonable as
any other in face of the fact that no
trace of him can be found.
AS TO the mental condition of Nc
Sweeney having bearing on his prob
able actions after the murder, opinions
differ. One physician who had knowl-
edge Of McSweeney's condition short
time before the cutting believes that
the man has drowned himself, as the
first means that would occur 10 him of
ridding himself of his troubles.
On the other hand, another member
of the medical fraternity who knows
McSweeney says he would have been
one of the last men in the world to take
his own life, especially after having
been successful in killing his enemy.
The general public does not appear
to favor the suicide theory, but think
rather that McSweeney made his plans
for escape deliberately, got away from
the city as soon as the coast was clear,
and is now hundreds of miles from the
scene of his crime.
Another theory is that he is still in
hiding in or near the city.

OVERCOME BY GAS.
Mr.. C. II. Eiston and Clarence Ogle Have
an Unpleasant Experience.

an Unpleasant Experience
Saturday morning an accident which
occurred at the Pioneer Mill Company
came near resulting fatally. A heavy
gust of wind blew down the pipe lead
ing from the fre-box of small boiler,
under which jet of gas was burning.
The gas fame was also extinguished
and as the valve remained open the gas
escaped and filed the room. A young
man named Ogle. who was assisting in
the work of replacing the pipe, was
overcome by the noxious fluid and fell
over unconscious. He was soon revived,
however, and recovered without SER
ious injury.
Shortly afterward Mr.. c. R. Elston
was also overcome and for q time
was in serious condition. It re-
quired over three hours to bring him
back to consciousness. On Sunday Mr..
Elston informed us that he had COM
pletely recovered, but recommended
the use of natural gas to everybody
contemplating suicide.

THE POLITICIAN.

Although it is such an old habit OF
President Mckinley to say the right
thing at the right time and place that
nothing else is expected from him, he
is being CONNIE nded on all sides for
the tone of the speech he made Thurs
day night at the banquet of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
in New York. He returned to the
White House Friday.
+
Secretary Gage made ten strike
when he took occasion, without MOTTO
ing any of the absurd rumors about
his being on the eve of resignipg be-
cause the President was not In accord
with his financial views, to say that
the republican party was the best
friend Of bimetailism, which it APPROX
ed in its National platforms; that its
political head has been active in its
efforts to secure it under the only con-
ditions by which it can be maintained,
an international agreement; that in
his efforts to inaugurate such method
the President heartily supports the
principles of his party's platform, and
has the support Of all the members Of
his official family, inuendoes and de-
clarations from various sources to the
contrary Notwithstanding. After this
plain statement of facts the profession.
al liars ought to give Secretary Gage a
rest for while, but having set him up
as bogy man they are not likely to
let him alone.
There are few republicans in Con-
gress or around Washington who did
not rejoice at the election of Hon.
Louis e. McComas to the Senate by
the Maryland legislature. Ifhe makes
as good record in the Senate as lie

bench of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, he will be one of the
greatest Senators Maryland has had.
His term in the Senate will begin
March 4 1899.

The democrats in the House followed
the bad example of Mr.. Bryan and at
tempted to deny the existence of pros
perity in the country. 1t is now prob
able that they are sorry they were not
wiser. The republicans simply made
monkeys of them for the amusement of
the galleries. Secretary Gage has a
list of $50 factories and enterprises that
have started to work during the last
six months, many of which had been
idle since 1896, and advances in wages
aresreported from almost every direc-
tiou in almost every industry, except
the New England cotton mills, which
are not affec ted by the tariff but by
the opposition of the cheap labor in the
cotton mills of the south. The strikes
in those cotton mills was the only
thing the democrats have to back up
their denials of prosperity. The coun-
] try is prosperous and is constantly be-
coming more so, and about the only
thing that could possibly check the
growth of prosperity would lie the
election of a democratic majority of the
next House, and the consequent fear
of democratic legislation.
The first case heard by the U. S. Su-
preme Court after the seating of Mr..
Justice McKenna. which took place
Wednesday. was that involving the
constitutionality of the Texas anti
trust law, which had been deferred
until it could be heard by full bench.
| Attorney General Griggs has been
confirmed by the Senate, but is not ex
pected to join the cabinet until the
first of this week.
| The republicans have been the gain
ers in the debate on the resolution, de-
claring U. 8. bonds to be payable in
silver at the option of the government,
although the resolution was adopted
by the votes of the silver Senators. 1t
was brought out clearly in the debate
that the only object of the resolution
was to embarrass republicans and the
Eastern anti-silyer democrats; also
that the resolution would have no
binding effect, even if there were a |
possibility of its adoption by the House, |
which there is not. The silver Sena-
tors have merely repeated the tactics
of the French King who marched his
army up the hill and then down again,
and they have accomplished precisely
the same thing-nothing.
