We see in the 1NTELL1GENCER some
thing about an old time cake walk.
Now, we never saw an old time cake or
new time cake walk, but heard about
them all our lives, and our idea about
them was that when fellow got there
he grabbed a c,lke and walked Oft with
it. Now, Mr.. Editor, it that c0nclu-
sion is not correct rise and explain.
When I was a boy the people would
always talk about Salesday like it was
some great day, and we concluded that
a whole lot of gay fellows met at some
place with their fine horses and buggles
and just sailed around and had tine
time. But we have learned better.
Now it means to drink whiskey, curse
and swap old rips. If an intelligent
heather was to take notes at some of
our Salesdays we are afraid that he
would get dsgusted with Christianity
and our b0asted civilization. But
enough of this; we are getting pessi-
mistic. Letus look Oh the bright side
and tell OF our free institutions that are
supported by our Christian people,
such as our Orphanages. where hun
.dreds of helpless children are fed and
clothed and educated under Christian
influence, and Colleges and Churches
and Missionary Societies, which are
bringing JOY and gladness to thousands
of people in every cline.

1t is daily becoming palmer to close
observers that President Mckinley and
his advisers do not regard next years
campaign as Republican walk-over.
They are diligently studying ways and
means for corraling electoral votes
that they consider doubtful. The trip
that President Mckinley is now ar
ranging to make this summer to the
Pacific coast is one of the ways that
has been decided upon. They do not
expect to be able to carry Delaware,
Maryland or Kentucky again, but they
hope for Kansas and Nebraska, both of
which States are likely to be visited on
Mr.. McKinley's western trip. They
are also beginning to realize that some
sort of a bluff against trusts must be
made.
