Issues Made nv Mckinley,
the Kansas CITY Times.

From the Kansas City Times
A colonial empire, 4 large war estab-
lishment, federal supervision at elections,
higher taxes. national troops to quell dis
turbances. still create privileges for the
favored class, stronger props for the
trusts and monopolies and a gradual APP
proach to militarism are Mark Hanna $
objective points. So far as the republican
party is concerned, therefore. the issues
of the next presidential campaign are al
ready made up, and it is for the democ-
racy and only the democracy to say
whether or not Mckinley Hannaism shall
be allowed to overthrow and revolution
ize the principles of Jefferson, the found
err of the democratic party, and confer
autocratic power upon the president.

An Open Field.

rWO items relating to recent Incl
dents are the best sort of proof
that Speaker Reed really is pull
ing out of politics. The first of these is
the fact that the Maine man sailed out
of New York harbor, bound for Eng
land, without any sort of ado. If he
were going to be speaker, or candi-
date for that office. he would have rad
strong escort when he walked on
board; the fellows who want the best
things in the committee appointments
would all have been there.
As it is, these gentlemen were so IN
crossed in their purpose to hail the
coming speaker that they hadn't the
time to speed the parting speaker.
Croker and Reed were passengers on
the same outbound ship day before
yesterday. Croker had the call; the
dispatches said, Yesterday, that Mr..
Reed was hardly noticed
In the second place, Mr.. Reed him
self is in evidence. 1t was quoted as
his parting word that he expects to
take about three months for his So
jOurn on the other side, and that when
he returns he will take up the practice
of law in the city of New York. That
is notice to the aspirants-if they
needed any. The rivalry will be sharp,
and some Of the candidates are out for
a very hard race. TO begin With, Mir.
Sherman, the New Yorker, mus have
if ont with Mr. PAYNE also n New
Yorker, whose candidacy is announced.

Spells System Dying Out.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
However much the politicians mas seek
to break down civil service reform it has,
as factor in our public life. come to
stay. 1t may receive an occasional set
back, as it did when President Mckinley
sought to break down the civil service
barriers and take some 5000 offices out of
the classified service, as he did when he
threw the coming census into the SPOTS
system. Civil service reform is one of the
most encouraging signs of the times. 1t
is an indication that the people Of the
country are becoming weary of incompe-
tent servants.

Roosevelt's Pernicious Activity.

From the Minneapolis Times.
Colonel Roosevelt's Chicago trip and the
significant incidents accompanying it
may not have suggested President Nc
kinley's proposed swing through the West
next June, but it may have given a hint
of troublesome surprises that are posi-
bic when one great mans popularity is
waning and anothers waxing.

Mckinley Not a Free Agent.

From the Kansas City Times.
1t is limited that the president would
like to retrace his steps, even to the aban-
donment of the Philippine islands, but
the syndcates that are planning to Sc
cure the millions of acres of highly pro-
ductve agricultural lands, the mountains
minerals and the forests of valuable
woods will permit no backdown from the
original policy of treating the natives as
the Indians were treated in this country

Dark Spots in a Bad Record,

From the Memphis Commercial-Ap
When the republicans went into power
their platform promised the reform of the
currency. What steps have been taken
to keep this promise? In what way has
there been any reform? What has become
of this impulse. anyhow? With war scan
dals to apologize for and responsibility
for the trusts to be assumed and broken
promises to be explained it would seem
that the republicans have no easy sail
ing.

Losses by Fire in America.

From the Cleveland Leader.
America has one undisputed leadership
which ought to be abdicated in some
way. That is in the destruction of prop
erty by fire. No country in Europe pays
any such bills, year after year, as this
republic has to foot account of fires,
most of which ought TO be avoided. The
annual drain from this cause amounts to
about 20 per cent. of the expenses of the
United States government, including pen
sions interest on the public debt and the
operation of the postottice system.

Roosevelt a Candidate,

From the Rochester Herald.
The best evidence that Theodore Roose-
Welt is a candidate for the presidency lies
in the fact that he calls the reformers
fools. 1t has been noticed that the poiti-
cal candidate always prefers the friend
ship of the heeler to that of the civil SER
vice reformer.
