COMMENTS OF THE PRESS

Naturally, Hanna will say that a
prophet is not without honor except in
his own city-Pittsburgh Post.
Hon. Marcus Moneybags Hanna
has nothing to crow over in the result
in Ohio. He has received his warning.
Illinois State Register.
-McKinleyism was indorsed by the
minority and repudiated by the major
ity vote of Ohio. That is pointer
for 19oo.-Kansas City Times.
If the president is really so de-
lighted at the result of the recent cleo
lions the fact cannot be denied that it
takes very little to please him.@St.
Louis Republic.
The Observation-Disclosures vote in
Ohio is about $4,000 greater than the adj
ministration vote. Mckinley and Han

can get from this fact.-Columbus Post.

NOT YET TESTED.
The People Have Not Yet Passed Up-
ON the Administrations Policy
of Expansion.

That the administration should not
have been able to make better show
ing than that of the elections in -
states is a fact full of significance as
bearing upon the presidential contest
of 1900.
It is claimed by the administration
party and by administration organs
that a majority of the people of this
country are in favor of the PRESIDENT
policy of American expansion into the
eastern hemisphere. Where do they
find an expression of this sentiment in
the recent elections?
In Massachusetts, where the fight was
made almost exclusively on the expan-
sion issue, the democratic party made
surprising gains. Ohio was held for the
president only by the eXertion of all the
administration influence. In no state
of the IL did the vote show that the
presidents Philippine policy strength
ened the republican party.
The issue of Imperialism, of expan-
sion by the conquest of foreign terri
tory, will come clearly before the peo-
pie of all the states in 1900. There is
reason to believe that the popular vote
viii pronounce unqualified public con-
demnation of this un-American policy.
The democratic party has cause for
greater confidence than ever that the
people of this country are not yet ready
to repudiate American principles for
the gain of foreign territory or the gov
eminent by force of weaker peoples

ELECTION RESULTS.
Terribly Emphatic Rebuke to the
Administration for Criminal
Aggression.

That the recent election carried with
1t a severe condemnation of imperial
ism is evident to all intelligent people,
and claims to the contrary on the part
of administration organs are simply
buncombe and nothing more.
That this fact is apparent to those
who allow themselves to reason is made
evident by the editorial comment in the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, news
paper true to the grand old party, but
opposed to Imperialism.
Discussing the results of the recent
election, the Republican says:
1.-THE election carries to the admins
tration a terribly emphatic rebuke for
its war of criminal aggression. Mary
land has swung back to its democratic
moorings. Nebraska shows large gains
for democrats. AS to Ohio, the issue on
Imperialism was clearly drawn"
The Republican continues: 'sThe
great .urch which sends the president s
party in Ohio from large and apparent
~ unassailable majorities in years past
into a striking minority has been
brought about by the presidential pol
icy of criminal aggression
Nash was elected governor of Ohio by
the republicans, it is true. but with a
plurality of $4,000 there was a popular
majority of 10000 against the policy OF
imperialism.
Jones received 10000 votes, every
one of which was protest against Nc
Kinley.
There can be no doubt that.the Jones
vote was against Imperialism, and this
is the view taken of it by Candidate
Jones.
In concluding its comments the Re-
publican says:
1.-THE verdict of the election raises at
once the question of the expediency OF
Mr.. McKinley's denomination. It points
to the impossibility of electing him in
1900 on the platform he has made fo1
himself, and by which he must now ap-
parently stand or fan.''
Coming from a republican newspa-
per, this is rather cold comfort for EN-
peror William Mckinley. - Chicago

A MISSOURI judge has decided that
any physician who believes the case of
his patient is a hopeless one and
fails to inform him is guilty of a
breach of trust. It may be in some
cases an unjustifiable act for physi-
clan to keep up patients hope when
there is no hope But there have often
been cases where restoration to health
has occurred in spite of the physicians
belief they were fatal If physicians
were infallible the case would be differ
emit, and the decision might be war
Tanted. But they are not infal1ible.

SOME prominent New York women
have succeeded in having introduced
before the New York legislature bill

of the school is to make girls self-sup-

All Land Must Paw Taxes.

Superintendent Clark, of the Ed

whether any land in the state outside
of reservations can legally be kept out
of school districts. There is big strip
of land in that county owned by cattle
men that is not attached to any school
districts. The county superintendent
wants to take it in, but the owners are

that the Superin tendent has the power

HALF a dozen years ago a farmer
considered the value of his corn crop
to be practically terminated with the
husking of the corn. What was left
was worth very small sum an acre as
fodder. Many experimenters, how
ever, working along different lines,
have established the by-products of
the corn crop and there is now home
market where farmer can get from
$3 to SIS a ton for cornstaIks, so that
their value is now, according to the

1T is safe to pay little heed to those
tales that Russia is about to assail
Japan. AS the fighting, in such a case,
would be in or near Japan, Russia
would be at such a disadvantage that
her defeat would be morally certain.
Japan is too powerful a nation to be
attacked by any country in the world
on her own ground with much pros
pect of an easy triumph. Japan can
assemble far more vessels and soldiers
in her own country or in the neighbor
ing parts of China than Russia coula
muster in those quarters.
