Tho Go v-fnor.hip Contest.

The G"verno :ship contest is in full
blast at Car,"n. The ballots cast in
certain precincts OF Lyon county.
mentioned in McMillin's compliant,
were examined yesterday and several
ballots were objected t" by both par
ties. The News says many Of the OH
jec"ions were trivial. the most serious
being the plac ~, OF @Nu" opposite
the county consolidation line. There
were more OF these ballots cast for
SadIer than for Mcmillan Witnesses
will be called later TO testify Tor Sad
Ter on other precincts. The ballots of
Lender county, otj cted to by Nc
MILAN, we're then taken up. SadIer's
attorneys objected to these ballots jn
the ground that they had been cop-
'veyed tn Carson by express and were
not in the custody Of the clerk. This
ohj 'ctlQn was overruled by the court.
The ballots Of Austin precinct, No /.
were objected to on the ground that
the seal Of the package was broken
and the ballots had been tempered
with. This objection was also over
ruled, the court holding that as the
string was still tied around the bal
lots. they had not been ,anpered
with. The ballots were then counted,
objections being made by both sides.
The seal Oh the ballots of Austin pre-
cinct, No. 2, was also broken. Sad
ler's attorneys objected to these bal
lots. At che time the report closed
the objection had not been decided.

A DISGRAoEFUL WAR.
The Philippine Policy of the Presi- dent Is Based Upon
 Politics.

The pain and amazement of the Me sinleyites at the fact that anybody should be base enough to desire to make party capital out of their gigan- tic blundering in the Philippines, is getting to be such that they can no longer contain themselves. They are beginning to explode with indignation and horror. While trying to win votes for you fellows out of the mistakes we fellows have made. Merciful heavens. was ever such political tuTpitude heard of before? Col. Hay was aghast at the thought. in his letter 10 the Ohio re- publicans. Ii is true that his horror and disgust were a trife too plainly theatric: his starts and gasps and stares were cleary stagey; you all along saw that he would be perfectly willing 10 go off and take drink witt the villains when the play was over: but he already has many imitators, and we shall hear much more of the un- speakable conduct of party opponents in holding a republican administration to account for the colossal failure of it's Philippine policy.
 Bear in mlnd. however, that the ob- jeetion is not 10 making party capital out of the Philippines. as such. It is only to making democratic party cap ital. The truth is. Mckinley and Han na had intended all the political capital that could be made out of the Philip pines strictly for themselves. For the democrats to interfere and claim any of it is pure perversion of a sacred fund, and the courts should intervene. An injunction would, we think. be granted by any federal judge, restrain ing Bryan and other democratic ora tors from so much as mentioning the word Philippines. The president has an exclusive property right to all the party capital which the Philippines can be made to yield. and what are we coming to if outsiders can break in and take it away from him? We know what his adulatoTs would have said if his plans had not gone so grievously wrong. If Aguinaldo had groveled at his feet: if the Filipinos had hastened to submit 10 his usurpation and illegal proclamation. what powerful argu- ment the republicans would have seen in it all for reelecting the great. strong, inaexible. far-seeing. infallible man, who spake and it was done. who conn manded and it stood fast. To demand votes for success in foreign complica- tions is legitimate: but to say that votes should be withheld on account of the humiliating failure-why. that is simply monstrous! Men who would do that would botanize upon a mothers grave and traffic in their country's shame. This is republican, McKin- ley, war, if if succeeds, but if it goes on from one disgrace to another it is a national war, for which all are respon- sible, and to support which all citizens are bound to stand together.-N. Y. Post.

MORE LOSS THAN PROFIT.
Expense of Imperialism to the Peo- pie of the United
 States.

When the administration gets ready profit and loss of the policy of imperial ism, how will the account stand?
 Certainly not in favor of a policy which burdens the nation with taxes and gives no adequate return. In 1890 the national receipts were S403,os0,9s2 and the expenditures S31s,- o40.T10, and the army and navy cost the government sec. .5s9,04
 How does the account stand for the present fiscal year?
 The receipts were S515, ,960, ,620 and the expenditures S605. ,17e, of which $293, ,7s5,359 went for the army and ! navy.
 While McKinley's administration has increased taxes and raised the revenue in every possible way, the deficit this year amounts to Ss9,111,559.
 Taxes have been increased 27 per cent. by the republican administration and the expenditure has doubled since 1890. Not only this. but the interest bearing debt of the government has grown from S6o0,000,o00 to S1,1S2. 2.149,05o.
 Now, what has Mckinley to show for this enormous increase in debt and taxes?
 The war with Spain ended more than year ago. This nation is supposed to be at peace with .n other nations, yet war expenses go co at an increased scale.
 1t will be difficult for Mckinley to make his profit and loss account bal ance. The people of the United States are patriotic, but they are not imperial ists and they will not long approve of a policy which costs much more than it comes to.-Chicago Democrat.

We Need a Statesman

We are upon grave times. Great new issues have arisen, new questions of su- preme importance have come into view, even since Mir. McKinley's nomination little more than three years ago. While crediting him with honesty ofintention, there is feeEng among vast number of people that a president is needed more thoroughly equipped in states manship, more vigorous in determina- tion and action, less dependent upon the promptings of advisers in his personal circle, less subject to be swayed by pop ! ular clamor from conscientious convic- tion. We believe that with an abler leader the democratic party will carry the election next year, for the mass of the people are still and ever will be true to the principles upon which our coun- try was founded and for more than a century maintained; and, although at times in numbers misled, or influenced for the maintenance of some appealing issue 10 sacrifice others, there is no doubt that they understand the present condition well. They know that the new era upon which the nation has en- tered calls for the services of a master mind and stout heart.-Buffalo Cour. fer.

HANNA AND OHIO.
The Republican Boss Is Not fntefs estcd In the Philippine
 Question.

Mir. Mark Hanna is zealous for the reputation of Admiral Dewey. He dis- likes to hear politicians squatted at his ear suggesting to him that "Glamis thou art and Cawdor and shall be king here after" That does not suit Hanna's pro- rramme. The king hereafter is to be of his own selection. and his mind IS al- ready made up as to the identity of that gentleman. Ii is very wrong to suggest 10 the admiral that he should go into politics. Politics would be the ruin of him. He occupies the highest position in the navy. and surely it is to his inter est to be content with that. It appears also 10 be to the interest of MT. Hanna that he be content with that.
 Hanna does not choose to remember that Grant had the highest position in the army nor to suggest that he should have been content herewith. He was doubtless among those who encouraged the idea that Grant should be president, but since he is quite sure that Dewey will rise superior to all temptation and offer no impeachment 10 the major why does Hanna so seriously apprehend the possibility that he may yield? It is a good old proverb: Let the cobbler stick to his last" and if Dewey is wise he will act upon it. If he does not he must take his chances. even of offending the po- tent political figure of this country, his monitor, Mark Hanna.
 Mir. Hanna in recent interview said: ''I do not know anything about the Ieil- ippines; the only fight l am watching IS the one in Ohio" These statements will be readily accepted by his countrymen. MT. Hanna does not know and never did know anything about the Philippines. He is not watching the fight out there, and apparently neither is anybody else, save to condemn it as utterly discredit- able to the republic. As to the fight in Ohio, of course Mir Hanna will watch that very carefully. It involves his po- litical fortunes and his personal pocket l book.-Chicago Chronicle.

SOUTHERN oLEANINGS.
A Terrible Tragedy.

A terrible tragedy was enacted in Hickman, Ky, the other morning. c F. Hohen and T. L. Eversole, partners in the Hickman roller mills, became involved in a difficulty growing out of an attempt to settle their business af- fairs. Hohen was possessed of the idea that Eversole had been robbing him, and so accused Eversole. This led 10 an affray in which Hohen shot Eyersole, severely, but not dangerous ly wounding him. In a struggle which followed the shooting, Eversole wrenched the pistol from Hohen. Hoben then ran through the door to- ward the river, followed by Eversole, who shot at him once. Hohen finally rushed into the river and drowned himself. It is believed that HohcD was crazcd by the illness of his wife, who is in Texas, and by his business troubles.
The Forrest City times., 1899-10-20

It was not until the Mckinley tar if act became operative that Germany began to legislate against imports from America, and believing the United States would not materially modify its tariff schedule German merchants started in to make commercial con- quests in South America. Mexico and Africa. The venture has been wonder fully successful, so much so, indeed. that the sentiment is growing all over Germany that trade interchange with the United Staes is not as essential as 1T was thought 10 be. Germany should be our best customer next to Great Britain, and we should be heavy buyers in German markets, and such trade conditions will undoubtedly obtain when we grant 10 Germany the same commercial rights in our markets that we are demanding in her narkets.- Kansas City Times.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

The trusts are not worried over any conferences that may be held in Chicago. St. Louis or anywhere else so long as they have command of the situ- ation at Washington.-Peoria Herald Transcript
 administration organs are still harping away on Gen. Otis alleged in competence, without having the cour- age or candor to admit that Mckinley is responsible for Otis. just as he is for every other feature of the war of con- quest.-Columbus Press-Post.
 Senator Hanna can see no evil in the trusts. Why should he? Isn't he depending entirely upon the contribu- tions from the trusts to carry him safe ly through this falls election? Hanna is for the trusts and the trusts are for Hanna.-Canton (O.) Democrat.
 -'Another evidence of prosper ity," says journalistic neighbor, 'is found in big demand for diamonds" !" There has not been a time when the plutocrats and trust benefciaries have not been able to buy diamonds In the
 
 of money do not have to give up any of the luxuries of life. The poor man is never able to buy diamonds.-Cincin- natl Enquirer.
 The republican party managers are striving hard to decide upon the most available vice presidential can didate for next year. Their evident anxiety that MT. Mckinley shall have an exceptionally strong running mate is significant. It means that they are aware of the waning popularity of the president. The great desideratum is some arrangement by means of which MT. Mckinley can be placed at the head of the ticket again and still be kept as much as possible in the background during the ampaign.-Minneapo Times.
 -Mr. Hanna made a "break" as soon as he opened his mouth to the interviewers in New York. My ob- servations of England" he said. "are that it is country with a good political system. It is fully as good as ours" If Mr. Hanna's Ohio opponents are sharp, they will observe the implica- tions of this remark It means that, in his opinion, monarchical form of government is just as good as a re- public. Some of Mir. Hanna's critics think that a monarchy is what he is leading us to.-Springfield Republican.
 It is necessary first that we should remove from the independent peoples of the new world the fear that we are intending as soon as possible to "s'obble them up" in the course of our destiny" We ought not to have the hostility of American republics, but rather their loyal friendship. It is i'm portant to them as to us that the Mon- roe doctrine should be upheld, and if it be fact that there is to the south of us growing suspicion of us, or hos tility toward Us, the statesmanship and the press of the United States ought to go out of the way to remove such a sem timent at C1ce.-Hor son (Tex.) Post.
