Good prices have been maintained

any stronger the real estate mon fear
a downward movement, and it will be-
come stronger if the Lackawanna COM

JOE WHEELER AS A RUNNING MATE

Smith D. Fry, the Washington cor.
respondent OF the Philadelphia Times
sent his paper the following, in which
he quotes one of the oldest members o.
the house OF representatives as saying;
president Mckinley never does any.
thing merely for effect. He always has
an object In view. When he advocated
decorating the graves OF the Confeder.
ate dead 1t was not the mere utterance
OF a sentiment; 1t was not the vaporine
OF a careless mind. Mckinley had an
object in it--a we'll considered object
He intends to carry some of the south
ern states next year. He expecs to lose
some OF the northern states. He is
looking farther into the future than
are the politicians who are predicting
his nomination and defeat.
President Mckinley had an object in
sending General Joe Wheeler to Cuba,
and in keeping him at the front. He
has an object in sending General
Wheeler to the Philippines. The little
ex.rebel lie born soldier, an educated
military man. BY order of the Presi.
dent he will be kept at the front when
he gets to the Philippines, and he will
be given an opportunity to add new
laurels to his soldierly reputation.
THE people of this country admire
military heroes. They would vote al.
most unanimously for Dewey If he
would accept a Presidential nomina-
tion. The Democrats desire to have
Schley on their ticket next year. How
would you like the Republican ticket
to be Mckinley and Wheeler"
The member above quoted is no
doubt right when he says president
Mckinley never does anything for ef-
feet. He always has an object in
view" But there is great big doubt
as to whether Joe Wheeler would ac-
cept second place or even first on the
Republican national ticket.

PLAIN AMERICANS.

The Canton, Ohio, German-Ameri-

they spoke as plain Americans-Chi-
cago Post.
To the Chicago Post and all others
who are displeased with the anti-im-
perialistic resolutions adopted by the
Canton COMMUNICATIONS, we would
say that the German Americans OF Can
ton are as plain Americans as any OF
those who happened not to be born on
foreign soil. They are Intelligent,
they are patriotic, and they are as loyal
to the flag and their adopted country as
any of those who boast of this their
native land. Though this is not the
land OF their birth, they speak with as
much force, If not more, because they
are not actuated by any sordid motives
nor are they prompted by any hope Of
reward save that which comes to every
citizen by keeping inviolate the liber-
ties OF free people.

A HANDFUL OF GERMAN.AMERICAN

The imperialists are evidently great
ly displeased with the action of the
German-American citizens of Canton
in declaring against the policy Of
President Mckinley in the Philippines.
They seem to be more especially dis.
turbed at this action, because it occur
red in the home of the President, and
the meeting was presided over by one
OF Canton's most prominent citizens, a
life long friend OF Mr.. Mckinley.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Cleveland Leader, one of the most
radical imperiahst organs of the state
sends his paper the following:
Efforts are being made by Demo
cratic politicians and newspapers of
anti-expansion proclivities to magnify
a thousandfofd the significance of the
action of a handful of German-Ameri-
can citizens OF Canton, Ohio, in declar-
ing against the administrations policy
in the Philippines. The enemies of the
President and the government are en-
deavOringl to demonstrate that. the
resolutions adopted by fellow towns
men OF Mckinley represent the senti-
ment OF majority Of the German
Americans Of the country, and are try
ing to show how the Republican party
will lose in the elections next year
through the alleged hostility OF this
large, sentimental element OF the body
polite. These efforts, instead of Gre
ating uneasiness among Republican
leaders and friends Of the administra-
tion, are the cause of much amuse-
ment.
1t is thoroughly understood that the
meeting in Canton referred to was
called together by Democratic news
paper which was unheard OF in this
part OF the country, at any rate, until
the assemblage took stand against
the bugaboo OF an American British
alliance, and that it was attended by
members of the Democratic party. It
is expected that Democrats here and
there, who are blind followers OF Bry-
an, will subscribe to his anti-expansion
sentiments, but so far as all the Ger
mans who are adopted citizens of the
United States are concerned there Is
no apprehension that a majority of
them are not staunch supporters of Re-
publican doctrines, just as they were
in 1896, and always have been.
The attempt to belittle the action of
several hundred Of Canton's represen-
tative German-Americans by referring
to them as simply handful" will not
diminish the significance of their ac-
tion nor will it serve to change their
course. The resolutions adopted at
the anti-imperialist meeting of the
German-American citizens of Canton
can be taken as the true sentiment of
the patriotic COMMUNICATIONS every
where throughout the land.
If there Is any doubt now as to where
the German Americans stand on this
question, there will not be after the
first opportunity for full and free ex-
preston at the ballot.

Columbus, July 17,--State Treasurer
Samuel M. Campbell has turned Cub

the wall. Within the last few days
agents OF the Republican state commit
tee have been distributing Autographs
of'Judge Nash through the offices and
departments at the capitol. They left
one on the front counter at the state
treasury, and porter there was about
to put 1t up in conspicuous place on
the wall, when Treasurer Campbell
called halt. He informed the porter
that the picture should be cast into the
waste basket instead of placed where 1t
could be seen. This action on the part
OF Mr.. Campbell grows out of his de-
feat for denomination and the naming
Of Judge Nash at the recent state con-

defeat to the high-handed course OF
Senator Hanna, and says that II Judge
Nash has no more honor than to ac-

MrKINLEY'S WAR.
(HOuston Post.l

This is McKinley's war. He saw fit
to bring it on. According to the con-
stitution congress has the right to de-
clare war, but congress did not declare
war against the Filipinos. 1t is true
that congress approved the treaty with
Spain by which the Philippine islands
were ceded to us, but that treaty was
forced on Spain by the President and
almost equally forced on the United
States. We should have been as much
justified in purchasing from Spain her
title to Venezuela, Bolivia or Peru,
after they had achieved their indepen'
dence, and asserting our own dominion
over them. But the earlier presidents
were made OF different stuff from Mr.,
Mckinley. They were not willing tC
do wrong or to violate the principles
on which our own government il
founded even in order to get second
term of office.

HOW THEY TRY TO FOOL THE
PEOPLE

We congratulate the Republican par
ty that existing federal legislation for
the suppression OF harmful trusts, pools
and mbinations is the work Of Re-
publican congress, performed during
the administration of a Republican
esident.-Kentucky Republican plat
form.
Why did the Kentucky Republicans
not congratulate President Mckinley
and his Attorney General, John W.
Griggs, on their vigorous enforcement
Of the existing federal legislation for
the suppression OF harmful trusts,
POOLS and combinations? Why con-
gratulate the Republican party on the
existing antitrust laws, that are dead
letter on the statute books 80 far as
their enforcement is concerned2 What
steps have the president and his attor-
ney general taken to suppress these
harmful trusts, pools and combines?
Mr.. Mckinley owes his election
to these "harmful trusts, pools and
combines" and they own him soul and
body. Whatever antitrust laws that
now exist or may hereafter be enacted,
will never be enforced so long as VIM.
Mckinley is president and John w.
Griggs, of New Jersey, the home OF the
trusts, is attorney general. The adop-
tion OF antitrust resolutions by Repub-
licans has but one pupose, and that is
to blind the people.

AN ADMINISTRATION OF COMMITS
SIONS.

1t can be truthfully said that Mr..
McKinley's administration is one OF
commissions. In the number of ap-
pointments of special advisers to the
president and separate commissions
Mr.. Mckinley has made a remarkable
record. The aggregate expense of
these special advisers and commission
ers exceeds $2,OOO,OOO. The American
people pay the bill. Those who criti-
else this useless and extravagant waste
of the peoples money are branded by
the administration press as rebels and
as traitors to their country. Here are
a few of the commissioners, with con-
servative estimate of the expense of
each:

A "PoINTER" FOR WARRIORS.
Chicago Chronicle.l

Patrick Fahey, private, Fourth Unit
ed States volunteer infantry, got drunk
at Fredericksburg, Va, and had fight
with civilian. A court-martial has
sentenced Patrick Fahey to five years
imprisonment. He is serving his term,
the finding OF the court martial having
been approved.
Oberlin M. Carter, captain, United
States engineers, stole 81 100000 ol
government money. A court martial
sentenced Oberlin M. Carter to five
years Imprisonment likewise. He il
not serving his time like Patrick
Fahey, however. The finding OF the
court martial has not been approved,
nor Is it likely that it ever will be ap,
proved.
This teaches us that 1t Is wiser and
safer to steal 81 500, 900 from the gov
ernment than to get drunk and thrash
a civilian.
