RepublIcanism This Fall.

The elections to take place next month.
with few exceptions, will be OF less impor-
lance than usual as indications OF the drift
Of political sentiment in the Union; but
occurring at this time they will express
emphatic public approval OF the policy
and achievements OF the Administration
il they are decided under the influ-
ence OF reason and common sense. No
Administration in American history has
justified the confidence Of those who voted
for it more fully than that Of Mr.. McKIN-
LEY throughout the past two years Of his
term. Every Republican every Democrat,
every patriotic man who assisted in putting
it in power, hassobtained through it the
fulflment OF every promise made in its
platform, the st. Louis platform. 1t has
failed nowhere.
1t promised to maintain the single gold
standard against the menace OF free silver
coinage, and it has kept its word. with the
consequence that confidence Is revived and
business has arisen from depression to
prosperity. 1t has dispelled completely
the clouds which had before overshadowed
trade and finance, and now there Is no
fear except OF the triumph OF It's enemies in
1900. 1t has conducted n war which was
almost unexamped in history for a COM
plete triumph achieved In three months
only, without the loss Of a ship, a gun, a
color or prisoner-a war which raised and
extended the power and prestige OF America
as none other in our history. Our money is
good, our fame is greater than ever before,
We have become one Of the dominating
States in the civilization OF the world and
all the world accords us the place.
Why, then, do we read. in the columns Of
ieeble-hearted or treacherous Republican
journals, that there Is grave doubt about
Republican success In numerous States
this fall where precedent tells us 1t should
be overwhelmingly Take, for instance,
the State Of Ohio. II ever there was a
forthcoming election about whose result
there should be no doubt 1t Is this Ohio
election. Opposed to the party Of the Pres
ident is the Democratic party. with plat
| form hardly less Infamous than its ever
memorable platform Of surrender In
1864 It insults the patriotism, the very
common sense Of the people Of that
State, and all the States, by practically de-
riding the war with Spain and scofang ut its
glorious consequences. More than that, 1t
calls for the free coinage OF silver and
demands the overthrow Of the single gold
standard, the victory OF which, in 1895.
ushered in the present era OF national good
fortune. The election Of the Democratic

Surrender, or that he would cast longing
eyes toward. Presidential nomination

will be interesting. reporter OF tho
Chicago Record joined Admiral DEWEY at
Port Said on his homeward journey, and
he has this to say Of the banquet given
to DEWEY at Trieste by the United States
Ambassador to Austria-Hungary and the re-
lurn feast to the Ambassador given by
DEWEY on the Olympia
iona who was guest at both Of the banqu cts told
tao that on each occasion the Admiral used nearly
The same language when drinking the health Of the
President OF the United States. It is generally the
habit Of navy officers to speak OF tho President by
his oficial title-the Pretident-instead OF men
tioning the name Of the incumbent of the place.
But At the Ambassadors banquet after the toast to
the President had been proposed. Admiral DEWEY
raised his glass and said:
"'Yes. here's to the President-President McKN-
LEY. hope he will be reelected
AT the dinner In his own cabin he said: There
will be only one toast tonight, gentleman. Here's
60 the President-President MCKINLEY. hope he
will be our nsIt President"
This is in direct contradiction Of the re-
port that DEWEY was ready to accept the
nomination Of the party openly antagonis-
tic to all that his own peculiar distinction
means, or that he would lend himself to a
political combination formed within the
Republican party to capture the nomina-
ton 30 unquestionably due to WILLIAM
MCKINLEY.
It appears that in spite ofthe tremendous
outpouring Of national admiration for the
Hero OF Manila there are those who cannot
truly be called Admiral DEwEYs friends.

Church Going.

The Rev. DIR. HILLS OF Plymouth Church,
In Brooklyn, explains the disposition to
avoid church services on Sunday by attrib-
uting it to the tremendous pressure Of
work." we Americans being extremists in
all respects" Why, then. are we not ex-
tremists In church goingp
The talk about Americans overworklng
themselves. however, is nonsense. They
work no harder than other people, French
men, Germans or Englishmen, and they
now take more rest from labor than ever
before. There are moro holidays, the hours
OF work have been shortened and half OF
Saturday is time Of rest preparatory to
Sunday.
II people do not go to church rs much as
formerly their neglect Of divine worship Is
not excusable on the ground that they are
now too tired to go. and we are surprised
that a Christian minister should suggest it
In behalf Of the delinquents, for even IL
1t was true that they are worked too hard
during the week that would not be a valid
excuse for their disregardng a religious
duty. The truth, however, is that the
very churches which are most crowded on
Sundays are those frequented by the hardest
workers. 30 far as physical labor goes
Apart from positive illness when people
stay away from church it Is not because
they are too much exhausted to go to
divine service, but because they do not
care to go. II they are impelled by q
lively faith and a strict sense Of duty to
attend their churches, II they feel that
their souls salvation is made the more
secure by such attendance, they do not
stay at home on the pretext that they have
worked too hard during the week to be
able to offer their prayers to GoD on Sum
day. Let there be revival Of religion,
such, for instance, as the great awakening
In 1857, and there will not be room enough
in the Brooklyn churches to hold the throngs
anxious for their souls welfare.

For the alleged uncertainty as to the COM
ing elections the cause 10 to be found fret
in the Republican press itself. Too many
Republican newspapers have shown an
almost total lack Of comprehension Of the
events Of the past year. When there started
up q humbug assault on the rations Of the
army-the best-fed army ever put in the field
they Joined In It very generally. When an
hysterical cry was raised about the suffering
Of the troops, they swelled the crazy chorus,
though actually the death rate from both
disease and wounds was less proportion
etely than in any other war. They assisted
In the bowling without fact to excuse
the uproar. 1t was a melancholy display by
men assuming to occupy the position Of in
structors Of the public. They lost sight of
the tremendous achievements Of the war,
their gaze being riveted on petty details
inseparable from all military operations.
So also now, when the task Of pacifying
the Filipinos by overcoming a self-appointed
dictator Is proceeding successfully, though
less rapidly than in their ignorance Of the
problem they had expected, they are utter
ing their childish discomfort. They cannot
rise to a conception Of the grandeur of the
achievements which will give imperishable
lustre to their country and their party.
Never before did the newspaper represent
atives Of party have such reason to glory
In It's record. Yet how many Of them are
dumb or captious or feebly apologetic!
II there is any reason for the pretended
misgivings about Ohio specifically and
Republican States generally. 1t comes
primarily from the incompetency Of
the Republican papers Of which we have
spoken. Republican voters, therefore,
throughout the States where the folly
Of the party press has been rampant will
have to work the harder to win the election
that would be a party disgrace indeed an
American disgrace, to lose.

gested that the start be made not later than
