From our Regular C6rresp onde Mt
A distinction without a diff
ference is that made by repub
leans who say that Mr.. Nc
Kinley will not make some
sppepches in Ohio, but will
probably nakespeeches from
the rear platform of t b e
rrain upon which he will pass
through Ohio on I's' coming
trip to ana from the West. 1t
really looks az though the
trip had heen arranged for
the purpose of giving Mr.. Me-
klnley an opportunity to
make some speeches'in Ohio,
which he has been assured
by his party managers are
very much needed. He and
his party managers may call
them "rear PLATFORM" or,any
other kind of speeches they
please, but the people will
know them for the stump
speeches they will be, and
they will not lie inclined to
think any more Of the Prssi-
dent Of, the United States,
who is willing to engage in
such business, even to help
pull his party out of q very
deep hol-. ! .a" rGti
Boss Platt has been in
Washington, and it is bnliey
ed that he tried to make a
deal for the Wee Presidential
nomination for a New York
er, it now being pretty gener
ally understood that Mr.. Hu
bart is to "voluntarily" re.
tire. and that Gov. "Teddy''
doesn't want the nomina-
ton. 1t is said that Platt
told Mr.. Mckinley that any
man from his state would
please him, but euggested
Senator Depew and Secreta
ry Root as available men.
One OF Mr.. Depew's c o e
| friends says that having Just
secured fnll term in the Sen
ate, he would not for a mo-
ment think OF giving it up to
accept. the Vice Presidential
nomination. Mr.. Root might
take it, il he could get it.
Since Reeds retirement
there has been much talk a.
bout members of the House

Elections In November.

Baltimore Sun.
On the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in Novem.
ber each year there are cleo
tons in many of the States
This, however. is an off year
in politics. and in only Il few
States are the elections i'm
portant or of any special in
terest outside of the States
themselves. The three states
" hose elections are attract
ing general attention are Ma
ryland, kentucky and Ohio.
The first two. were lost by
the democrats after a long
and uninterrupted control.
aud they are now fighting
hard to recover lost ground.
In Kentucky the contest is OF
a most bitter and unusual
character. The regular demo
cratic nominee for Governor
is opposed by an Independent
democratic ticket. and he al
leges that a great railroad
company has entered h e
campaign to compass his de-
feat. William Goebel is the
democratic candidate and j.
Young Brown the independ-
ent. There are four other
tickets in the field. A full list
Of State officers and a Legis-
Iature is to be chosen.
Ohio will elect a Governor
and six other State officers,
Ia number OF county officers
and a Legislature. The chief
interest in tho Ohio election
lies in the fact that this is the
Presidents State, and while
a republican success would
he scarcely more than the
"Dutch taking Holland" a
defeat would be a stagger-
ing blow to the administra-
ton. The republican candi-
date for Governor is George
K. Nash, and the democratic
candidate is John r. Mclean.
the wealthy proprietor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr.. Nc
Lean is a pronounced silver
ite, and the question is being
to q degree forced into the
campaign. Iowa will a | s o
elect a full State and county
ticket, and there are already
five tickets in the field. Mas
sachusetts will elect a Gov
ernor, Leg Gislature and State
ticket, and an amendment to
the constitution will be sub
mitted. The Legislature to
he elected will choose a Fed.
eral Senator to succeed Mr..
William Van A. Sullivan, who
is now serving by appoint
ment of the Governor. Two
tickets, the democratic and
popullsts, have been nomina
ted.
Virginia will elect a Legis-
la ature and various county
officers. The Legisla ture to
be elected will choose a Uni
ted States Senator to sue
ceed the Hon. Thomas S.
Martin, whose time expires
March 4. 1901. Nebraska
will elect a Judge of the State
Supreme Court and regents
OF the'State University. New
York will elect a Legislature
and vote upon four proposed
amendments to the constitu.
ton. New Jersey will elect o
part of the Legislature. Penn

Platt's legislature has committee
investigating Cookers political meth
DDS, and Croker has been on the wit
ness stand and has told the committee
that they could cut his right arm off if
they could show where he had taken a
dollar dishonesty. He went further
and told the committee that if they
were in search of political skulduggery
to put some of Platt's partners or bust
ness associates on the witness stand T;
that they we're at the foundation of all
the corruption in New York AS near
as the public can determine, there is lit
tie difference between the political
methods of Croker and Plat. Both are
political leaders, who seem to have I'M
questioned control of their respective
parties. One controls all departments
Of government in the greatest city in
the country, the others wish comes
pretty near being law in the nations
greatest state. OF course there is no
law giving these men the power they
possess. Croker while admitting that
his advice is seldom disregarded by
New York City officials, said that he
had no more weight than "any other cit
izen who is recognized, and who is liked
and who is respected"

Something After Col. Henderson

We are in receipt of circular letter
which was mailed at Chicago, and is
signed Charles kingsbury Miller, Chair
man Flag Committees Sons of the
American Revolution and Society of
Colonial Wars in the State of Illinois,
and member of the Executive Commit
tee American Flag Association of New
York City.
AS near as we can make out, this per-
sonage Of many titles imagines that he
has grievance against Col. Henderson
and desires us to assist him in singing
little mud.
The probabilities are the fellow is a
harmless crank, possessed of an uncon-
trollable desire to get into newspaper
controversy with some man Of promi-
nence. We infer from his numerous
labels that he is one of those individuals
who wants law passed restricting the
use of the national flag to certain pub
lie purposes. As matter of fact there
never was less necessity for law than
the one for which they ask. A recent
congressional investigation has disclosed
the fact that there is not nation on the
earth that has found such legislation
either necessary or desirable. There is
patriotism enough in every country te
make the improper use of the nationa
flag both unpopular and Improbable
If Col. Henderson has sat down heavil,
upon one of these notoriety hunting
busybodies, he is entitled to the thanks
of every right thinking person for 81
doing.

1t is asserted that the expenses of this
government for the year 1899 will ex-
coed those of any other nation in the
world, and it is quite probable that no
other civilized country has as unjust a
revenue system as we have. In Eng
land and France, and we think in most
all European countries the rich do not
object to an income tax but our rich
men refuse to pay taxes on their in
comes, or in any other way pay their
just share of the expenses of govern
ment. By inducing single judge to
change his opinion, the highest court in
the country which for a hundred years
had upheld the validity Of an income
tax, changed our constitution and ex-
empted wealth from such taxes. And
congress has stood nerveless before this
autOcratic force. 1t has been several
years since the rich secured their income
tax decision and yet not single step
has been taken to correct the injustice
If the constitution, i'll its present form
will not allow incomes to be taxed, il
should be amended and the democratic
party must dedicate itself to the work

What We Are Coming To.


We have been annexing countries to
which it will not be safe to extend even
modicum of our constitutional liber-
ties, and which must be held at arms
length and governed as military des-
potism for an indefinite time. We must,
meantime, try to hold our president as
a constitutional executive so far as we
ourselves are concerned and permit him
to become an irresponsible despot SO
far as our recent captures and purchases
are concerned. 1t is delightful situa-
ton. 1t raises some such question as
Lincoln once propounded respecting the
longevity of government half free and
half slave.

There may have been technical justi-
tication for the American and English
men-of-war to use their big rihed guns
for the purpose of Smelling the huts and
cabins Of the Samoans, but that bonn
bardment can hardly be called very
edifylnG spectacle. All descriptions of
the character of the Samoan natives
agree in saying that they are peaceful
docile and good natured, and that they
are easily influenced by the white for
eigners. 1t seems, therefore, that they
might have been influenced to adopt or
derby conditions by other arguments
than that Of the gun and cannon.
