OF need OF salvation. These men are not
under any such moral pressure as would

ally have some other place to which to

Another reason doubtless lie that the

THEMONEYQ UESTION TO BE THE
ISSUE OF THE NEXT CAM
PAIGN

Senator Morgan Of Alabama, is quoted
by the Herald as saying at Washington
on Thursday that the late elections Set
tied the question Of the issue for next
years campaign, assuring the renomina-
ton OF Mr. Mckinley on a gold platform
and Of Mr.. Bryan on the Chicago plat
form. 1T will be a battle for free silver
at l6 to l, with Bryan as our standard
bearer, against sound money and McKin-
ley said Mr.. Morgan.
"The money question" in the opinion
of the Alabama Senator, will be the
predominatiDg issue in the next cam
paign," necessarily, for "the Democrats
will be obliged to make the fight over
again on the Chicago platform" Even
If the Republicans try to force some 9TH
or issue 10 the front, they will not be
able to do it, he affirmed.
The issue of "imperialism, he secs,
cut all the figure possible to it in the
campaign just closed and it amounted to
nothing. Why it will not appear in the
campaign OF next year is thus explained
by Senator Morgan:
"I hardly look for either expansion,
imperialism or trusts TO cut any material
figure in the next campaign. IL is my
opinion, based on information derived
from my connection with the subject OF
foreign relations, that we will hear very
little about expansion and imperialism a
IN 10 hn-
lieVe the Philippines will be disposed Of,
or practically so, before the next national
election occurs. President Mckinley
evidently has that idea in view, and his
Republican friends in Congress will unite
in bringing about such a result as will
make ii difficult for the Democratic party
70 make any political capital out Of q
dead issue
That, unqueHtionably, is the view sup
ported by common sense. The Philip
pine question will be settled by legisla'
ton Of the next Congress, in which,
doubtless, even Democrats Of statesman.
like views, like Senator Morgan, will be
constrained TO join. Then there will re.
main 10 the Democratic party as distin
gushing issues for the campaign only
the issues Of the Chicago platform, Of
which its candidate, Bryan, will be the
embodiment. Consequently, as Senator
Morgan says, having nothing else "a
fight for, that party will be obliged Il
fight out the next national contest on
sustaining the Chicago platform and free
silver at l6to ]. New York Sun.

local option in Davenport, but can write
aud give my voice to the cause.
At the foot of the snoW-capped, cloud
wreathed Pixies Peak, is the beautiful
and law-abiding city, Colorado Springs.
I cannot say that local option has caused
all the peace and quietude Of the place,
butCan say that the patriotic, noble men
had the good Of all mankind at heart,
when they made the chart to say that
no saloons or gambling houses can ever
be in Colorado Springs.
To have healthy, pure boys, we must
have healthy, pure air to breathe. This
is what a town minus saloons creates
When we really test every father and
mother this is what they desire. If we
desire this atmosphere, we will work for
it. Often our boys wish to be true,
stalWart men, but with snaTes on every
side, it takes a brave soul indeed, to
withstand the temptations. God says,
"The strong shall help the weak" "If
meat offend thy brother, eat no meat;"
80 If we want true men, We must remove
every obstacle before them. Some say
it kills the town. We had better kill
the town than kill the soul, for it is the
soul that lives forever. 1--WE are the
