"McKINLEY PROSPERITY

The following items are taken from
the one days news in McKinley's State.
They speak for themselves and carry
their own comment:
The rolling mills at Hubbard, Ohio, for
years its greatest sustaining industry are
being dsmantled by the Republic Iron and
Steel Company, and the equipment taken
to Youngstown, where most of it will be
sent to the scrap phe. 1t is the story OF
another prosperous Ohio town absolutely
ruined by the trusts.
Salem, Ohio, is another manufacturing
town that has recently been injured by one
of the trusts. The big wire nail mills at
that point. which were absorbed by the
American Steel and Wire Company, are
being dismantled and the machinery ship
ped away.
These are simply sample items that
are duplicated in the industrial news
columns of the press almost every day
in many States.
They are peculiar to this era of NC
Kinley prosperity" and indicate what
a blessing the trusts are to the work
ingman.

than the Constitution some source
above and beyond the laws Of the land,
Congress or the people, to which un-
known and superhuman authority alone
he is responsible! If this is fact
and the Brooklyn organ of imperial SIN
goes on soberly in the effort to DEM
onstrate that it is-then it is high
time for the people to rise up and clip
the pinions of this tremendous one
man-power which vests the protege OF
Mark Hanna. mere Ohio politician,
elevated to the Presidency by the power
of Doodle, with an authority beyond
that of kings, making him superior to
his creators, the people, and their fun
damental law 1t is high time the peo-
pie were taking measures to protect
themselves from the possibilities and
tremendous dangers of such awful and
hitherto unheard-of power welded by
one man and he totally irresponsible!

East need attention, for this assuredly
is imperialism run mad!

A CONFUSED ORGAN.

Our Fourteenth street contemporary
winds up characteristic goldbug argu-
ment and TRADE against Mr.. Bryan as
follows:
''The people are not going to fly from
the blessings of prosperity to return To
the husks and stagnation and depression
that Swallowed the land in the closing days
of Cleveiand's administration"
Why, bless your heart, neighbor
don't you know that Grover Cleveland
was goldbug of goldbugs and that
his entire administration was run on
strictly goldbug principles?
If these brought us to "the husks of
stagnation" and Swallowed the land
with depression etc, what becomes OF
your goldbug argument?
Verify, the organ should get together
with itself and not go giving the whole
thing away in this gratuitous fashion.
Better stick to just plain prosperity
bowling, friend, erediting it all to Nc
kfnley, Hanna & Co. without going too
deeply into details or offering explana-
tions.

IMPERIAL PLEA.

The intention of the President 10
snub Congress and go ahead anu APP
noint governors general for our col
onies without legislation or the advice
and consent of that coordinate body IN
the government is distinctly imperial
usurpation OF power, sufficient to take
away the breath of the people when
they contemplate that if he may 60
this there is practically nothing in the
Imperial line that he may not do.
In labored effort to bolster up the
Presidents right to ignore Congress in
this manner in dealing with our Deepen
denotes, the Brooklyn Eagle says:
.'The power of the President to appoint
provisional governors Of colonial depen-
Eencies is unquestionable. His right grows
OUT of the war power, Those VINO thlnK
that the war power exists only during war
are mistaken. 1t comes by war, but 1t
often long survives the establishment OF
peace 1t lasts until the settlements of war
have been effected. and until Congress has
made them the subject of legislation. The
war power is neither consututona! nor
an unconstitutional power. 1t is national
power"
This is most delightfully."- indefinite
Here we have something new in the
way of government which the Ameri-
can people never before suspected they
possessed or rather did not possess
for it seems that nobody possesses 1t
but the President who is responsible
70 no one in the exercise of it, Nation
II pcweri" 1t is something above and
beyond and entirely away from the
fundamental law which the American
people hitherto have regarded as gov
Tning the nation and the President.
II by the national power" which
often long survives the establishment
Of peace" the President may trample
on the Constitution and Congress and
do as his own sweet will dictates re-
CARELESS of any other law of mankind,
wherein does this national power
differ in any degree from the imperial
power welded by the autocrats and
war lords of Europe? If this myster-
lous national power" vests the Pres
ident with such a-Constitutional
authority wherein does it differ from
the divine right of kings?"
Where does the President get his
wondrous national power" which
makes him an autocrat above and be-
yond all human law and accountable to
no one, not even the American people
hitherto supposed by foolish old-fash-
Toned folks to be the only real supreme
power in this land? Must the Presi-
dent not acquire it in some mysterious
manner from the same source that
monarchy acquires its divine rights?"
Wherein then, if this contention is well
founded, does our President differ in
any degree from the imperial autocrats
OF Europe? What monarch or war
lord exerts greater power?
This is the first time, we believe That
an American newspaper has ever main
tanned that the President of the United
States is not a constitutional exc
cutive, but being who sometimes de-
riVes power from some other source

THE TRANsyAAL,s GOLD.

England's war on the South African
Republics may have a serious effect on
the gold supply, and, since gold has
come to be the only recognized money
metal, may have bearing on the fl
nancial situation throughout the world
whose values to-day are based on gold
alone.
During the first nine months of the
present year the gold production of the
Wltswatersrand amounted to 3.913,S10
ounces against 3,OS1, 1897 during the
same period last year and 2,152, 662 for
the same months of 1897 The Septem-
Der product of this year was more than
double that of 1896 with an approx
mate value OF $S,2OO,OO0. The total ap-
proximate value of the nine-months
output of this year is $7S,0O0OO
The cutting off of this supply of gold
the sole money standards calculat-
ed to tighten up the money markets.
Already Wall street is feeling the pinch
and bowling like a good fellow for re-

Inc THilduelpHld Enquirer closes a
pro-trust argument with these words:
1T makes no difference to the working
man whether he is paid by an individual
or by corporation, so long as he is paid
what he thinks is right
Surely not; but it makes a mighty
difference to the workingman whether
he is given employment by an individ-
ual concern, or is thrown out of en-
ployment by corporation that gobbles
up that concern and closes it down to
curtail production and raise the prices
of his neces saries of life. That's the
point the workingman must keep in
mind.

First-That the canned and re-
frigerated beef issued to the troops
was unfit for issue.
Second-That they were issued
as a pretense of experiment,
because canned roast beef as a
part of the army ration had long
been obsolete, was revived during
the Spanish war but is no longer
issued to troops. All the facts GO
to show that in the great civil war
and in Indian campaigns beef was
furnished to the army on the hoof.
The army in Cuba is now supplied
with beef on the block.
Third-That chemical processes
for preserving beef was fully dis
cussed with Commissary General
Eagan to show that refrigerated
beef could be kept in the tropics
only by means of a preservative;
and, according to the statements
of Messrs. Eyper, Giddings and
Simpson as to conversations with
General Eagan. his only excuse
for not giving contracts for live
cattle to Texas firms was that the
beef firms had a preservative for
keeping beef - hours, which would
be given a trial. and, if unsuccess-
full, he would then awaId contracts
to the Texans for supply cattle on
the hoof.
Fourth That Commissary Gen
eral Eagan and Secretary AL
ger were responsible for supplying
embalmed beef and canned
roast beef to the army. the general
being Alger's agent; since. accord
ing to Mr.. Giddings, General
Eagan said to him that Secretary
Alger had asked him to give con-
tracts to the Chicago firms, and be
considered the request equivalent
to an order.

of this part of the country, is here
from Greencastle, Ind, and will
establish his claim to Chiekasaw
citizenship.
An Indian, who was in the city
today, said that there would be
frost in this country on the Goth
of April. Asked how he knew, he
said it was an old Indian sign that
never failed and that if the re-
porter to whom he was talking
would look out for it he would see
that it came true.

She was of one of the best families
in the Chickasaw Nation, and her
death will be regretted all over the
Nation, where she was well and
favorably known.
There was a long string of NOV
ers in the city today looking for a
place to stop and make a crop this

of the country have been rather
scarce for people of limited means
coming in from the old states and
it is pretty hard to find location.
