McKenna's Bad Break.
Attorney General McKenna's nause- |
ating dispatch of congratulation to |
Hanna was well calculated to please
Hanna and the President, who has |
nominated him to be Supreme Court |
Justice of the United States, but it Is |
said to have had bad effect upon the |
Democratic side of the Senate chamber. |
In the end it may prove to have i'm |
peri!ed his confirmation. Democratic |
Senators cannot be much blamed for |
being sickened. McKenna may think |
that Hanna is virtue incarnate, but |
that only shows what sort of man
McKenna is.-Springfield, Mass, Re
publican.
Mckinley's Humiliating Position.
The speech Of Senator WOlcott leaves
the President in an uncertain and I'M
complimentary position. 1t represents
him as being opposed to the financial
policy of Secretary Gage, and opposed
consequently to the whole currency re-
form movement. He is simply being
used by Messrs. WOlcOtt and Chandler
as club publicly to maui Mr.. Gage in
particular and the whole currency re-
form movement In general, and amid
leries. Mr.. Gage can stand 1t, but can

Sowing the Wind.
The crowning idiocy of the tariff is
that we are laying up trouble for our
selves. When the United States be-
comes the foremost manufacturing ma
tiOn other nations are going to retaliate
by restricting the importation of our
manufactures as they ROW restrict our
grain and meats. Already South Amer
lea is striking at our growing manu-
factures Europe will not long delay.
In keeping with the Internal policy of
protecting" the trusts, we are sowing
the wind. 1t is inevitable that We shall
have to reap the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Millions that Might BE Saved.
How little seriousness there is in the
disposition of Congress to curb e1pen-
diture and bring it within the measure
of income Is shown by the failure of
the attempt to adopt paying rate for
the carriage of second-class postal mat
ter. Here is S2O.OO0,0OO per year as
good as thrown away. A few interest
ed publishers who profit by the gov
ernment largess are more influential
in shaping the action of Congress than
is any regard for the public welfare

OhiO's Blasphemous Boss.
Hanna's blasphemous message was
Il coarse plagiarism of President Gar
fields famous speech, which was called
forth by Il terrible panic. There was
nothing sacrilegious in the latter's in
spired assertion of relation between
1t was left to a vulgar boss, exulting
over narrow escape from defeat, to
suggest a connection between Gods
reign and the survival of corrupt po-
litical party.-Kansas City Times.
Ways of the Protectionist.
All protectionists are free-traders
when they want to buy. and are only
protectiOnists when they have some
thing to sell. They squeal like pigs
when foreign nations shut out their
products by tariffs, as likewise when
their own government refuses to shut
out competing foreign goods in the
same manner.-Grand Rapids Demo-
crat.
Cod Shoulder for the Veterans.
A party that declared in 1888 that it
would sacrifice the entire internal rev.
enue system rather than abate one jot
or title of protection will not hesitate
to choose between the old soldier and
the fat-rendering manufacturers. The
old soldier might as we'll make up his
mouth for the inevitable dose of bitter
medicine.-St. Paul Globe.
Modesty Taking ecOnd Place.
In his thrilling telegram, God reigns
and the Republican party still lives"
Mark Hanna paid the Almighty neat
compliment In allowing the fact of
divine existence to take the precedence
over the second proposition.-Kansas
City Times.
