A case in point Is the Interview with

to our commissioners. when they persist
in the position that Spain must pay her

What they should say says the Spanish
statesman. and what they doubtless will
say Is; 1--WE are in your hands; you are
the victors. We for once committed the
folly Of going to war with you, because
you left Us no time to avoid It, because
you treated US in such way that, even
ct the risk Of suicide. We were bound to

Ex-senator Hill, in his Brooklyn
speech, got down on the level Of the
demagogues when he INDUCED In bare
faced misrepresentation of President
McKlnley's attitude toward the Cuban
question before the war. He went away
back to December Of last year, five
months before the war. and two months
previous to the act in Havana harbor
Witch aroused the war feeling, to refer
to the Presidents message advocating
peaceful measures to settle the Cuban
question, as the nrst duty. and charac-
terized 1t, wrongly and unjuslfably. as
"cold and unsympathetlc." Here Hin,
after this gross Misrepresentation Of the
President, stopped. Not one word did
he utter concerning the vigorous policy
pursued by the President when all peace
means failed, and when force become
necessary to induce the Spanish govern
ment to grant the righteous demands of
the United States; nor Of his uttimatum
TO the Spanish government, his prompt
action when authorized to make war,
ana the splendid bearing of the Presi-
dent throughout the war under the bur
den Of responsibility.
Mr.. Hill went far out Of his way in his
efforts to prejudice his hearers at the
start against the man at the helm. That
was demagogy far more despIcable in It's
purpose, and possibly in its effects, than
any of the alleged partiSanship he was
attempting to magnify and denounce.
Ex-senator Hills emergency from re-
drement is characterized at the very
start by his old tactics. He is the same
Hin who led the New York protest
against the platform. and went home,
not to consistently follow out his prlnci-
pies, as other sound money Democratic
leaders did, who. with him. believed that
Bryanism and the other heresies Of the
platform were dangerous to the flnan-
cial honor Of the country,and threatened
disaster, but 70 rest quietly at home and
afterward to say that ne voted for
Bryan"
This is that same Hill, ana now. anx-
Ious TO get back in the leadership. he
does not hesitate to be inconsistent at
the very outset of his speech, by declar-
ing that the issue Is not war questions,
but honest government The position
he took against BryanIem and the chlca-
30 platform, and helpedfto make posi-
BILE MclKnley'B election, was the came
ne was for honest money" which moth
ing but an honest government" could
secure. Throughout hlssspeech he does
not show wherein the administration OF

While the Register was indulging in
it's usual ante-election calamity cry
about there being no better times, al
though the evidences were all around 1t,
It was receiving the Associated Press re-
port of a speech delivered by President
mckinley to the railway employee In,
Chicago, whose part of the peace Jubilee
programme he attended. But the Reg
lister did not publish that speech. al
though It did mention that It was
warmly applauded." 1fit had publish

political career had Its beginning; in
that year he entered the house of repre-

state, and his work was executed with
such political ability that in 1870 the cit

sending him back to tho states capitol

In 1873 he entered Congress, where ne

one encouraging and important fea-

congressional district is in the fact that
so large number Of Democrats have
slgnlfed their satisfaction with the
present favorable change that the busi-
ness OF the country has taken under
President McRinley's administration.
The outlook for the former and every
body else is so much improved that the
people are going to vote to 80 right

again taken. For this reason hundreds
