The President and the Country.

The Sun this morning announces that
the country is with Mckinley. It bases
the statement upon the fact that numer-
Out letters from all section are sent to
the President, endorsing his course. It is
said that these emanate from both
parties.
No dou the statement of fact is true,
but we think it affords insufficient
premises for the conclusion. We believe
the country is not with Mckinley. We
believe that if the Presidential election
were to take place tomorrow and he were
the candidate with any reasonable Demo-
crat opposed to him-say Hill or Whitney
-he, Mckinley. would be defeated by at
least a million Of votes in the popular con-
test, and would probably not carry suffi-
Gent States to control the Electoral Col
lege. OF course, it does not follow that
he would be defeated by William Jennings
Bryan, or that he will be defeated by
that gentleman next year. The nominal
ton of the revolutionist and ~repudiator
will bring up a different set of issues
from those now prominent in the public
mind, pretty solidly, eyen more SO than
in 1896.
AS for the letters which are sent to the
President, they mean nothing in p%artIcu-
lar. They simply indicate that a large
number Of persons are expansionists and
fmperialists, and this we knew already.
Neither is it specially significant that
many Democrats are among the writer's.
We all know that many Democrats favor
the Philippine crime, just as many of them
favored the Hawaiian folly. 1t is only
necessary TO read the vile New York
sheet, which Is the organ of Organism
and of anarchy in general, to be advised
of this fact. 1t is well to remember,
however, that for every Democrat who
favors expansion, ten Republicans oppose
It. and If any one is doubtful about the
accuracy Of the statement, we refer him
10 the more enlightened portion of the
Republican press from Boston, Mass to
Portland. Oregon. OF course. the anti
grab Republicans are not writing letters.
They are rather hiding their heads in
shame. It is the reckless horde of looters
and imperialists. who are doing all the
shouting.
n e a;fso,lt m understand how any
man moving in intelligent society can
mistake the temper of the country. For
one man who may be heard endorsing the
President, at least a dozen win be met
who nounc his course in more or less
u~nsparing terms Let anyon try for him
self. Let him ask twenty or fifty or a
hundred of his acquaintance who read
h papers, and tick off their answers on
a card. He viii be much enlightened by
the resulting figures.

ST PETERS GARDEN PARTY.
Closed After Ten Days of Unqualified
Success.

After a successful run Of ten days ST.
Peters garden party came to a close last
evening, being one of the most success
full events in the church history. The
different booths presented a very curious
appearance last evening towards what
they looked on the opening night. There
is certainly one thing. and that is that
whatever the Rev. Father Harlin takes
in charge he has met with success after
success. and It is all due to his hard
working ability.
His assistants. who worked faithfully
during the ten lays of the party are also
deserving of credit.
The crowd that visited the party on the
closing night was one of the largest dur
ing the ten nights it was open.
Today the stands will be all taken down
the spacious yard will be put in con-
ton for the students of the college, which
opens next week.

have lots Of time to explode more jokes
