POINTS AND OPINIONS.

It is not so strange that William Mckinley should have thrown civil serv- ice over for Mark Hanna. Hanna has done infinitely more for McKinley.- Chicago Democrat.
 It is good democratic doctrine to stand up for the right and resist wrong. And no exception will be made in favor of chartered robbery.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 -Secretary Root is now spoken of as running mate for Mckinley in 1900, As a former trust attorney he would be fit candidate if the republic ans are going to put plank in their platform denouncing trusts and apolo- gizing for them at the same time.-Buf- falo Times.
 The nature of President McKin- ley is to have no principles and to urge no measures that are antagonistic to anybody. And this is his policy, too. Such is the way in which he has treated the money question and such is the manner in which he has endeavored to deal with the Filipino insurgents. The basic principle of such policy is to be amiable and not offend anybody. Even in war don't shoot to kill Portland Oregonian.

 The theory of those who sustain the policy of the administration in the Phil ippines is that the declaration of inde- pendence is outgrown; that it is no longer true that all men have Auual po- litical rights; that just government to-day does not rest upon the consent of the governed; that representation need not accompany taxation. But the declaration of independence and the constitution of the United States are two different documents. The declara- tion may be outgrown, ss the republic an supporters of Mr. Mckinley tell us, but the constitution is the law of the land, to which the president must bow as well as the humblest citizen. And the constitution declares that there shall be no slavery or involuntary serv- itude within either the United States or "any place subject to their iurisdic- tion.''
 Mr. Mckinley has. by his .'wise. states manlike and patriotic" conduct, es- tablished the jurisdiction of the United States over the Sulu islands. In doing this he seems to have reestab- lished slavery within the jurisdiction of this republic. On the face of it.. here surely is case for the house of representatives to make a presenta- tion to the senate of the United States. -ROStoO Docf

-According to Hanna the talk of running Dewey for president is an in- suit to the hero of Manila. Jackson and Grant ran for president. Has the presi- dency been cheapened since Hanna, as purchasing agent for Mckinley, seeu-sd a lien on it?-Alnany Argus.

REST CITY, ARK. FRIDAY AFTERNOON OCTOBER P, 1s99

which I solemnly urge upon the attentIor of the American people. It is one of the fundamental principles of our system ol democratic government that only the con. gress has the power to declare war. What does this signify? That a declaration of war, the initiation of an armed conflict between this nation and some other power the most solemn and responsible act na- tion can perform, involving as 1t does the lives and fortunes of an uncounted number of human beings-shall not be al the dis. cretion of the executive branch of the gov- ernment. but shall depend upon the author ity of the legislative representatives of the people-in other words, that, as much as the machinery of government may make such thing possible. the deliberate will of the people constitutionally expressed shall determine the awful question Of peace O. war

MANY GOOD WORDS.
Kansas Semi Centennial CeIe-
bration Receives Endorse
ments.

Secretary Anderson has begun to re-
ceive letters from over the state en-
dorsing the idea of celebrating the semi
centennial of Kansas with an exposi-
ton. This morning a letter came from
J. E. Baird, editor of the Cuba, Repub-
lie, county Daylight. in which Mr.
Baird says:
Il see by the Topeka Journal that
your club is considering a proposition
regarding an exposition in Kansas in
1904. l see no reason why Kansas can
not have an exposition and one that will
be of great import to our state. 1 am
from Republic county, and while I have
no authority to speak for the people of
the county, I am quite sure that they
will favor exposition. AS a rule the
people of our county work for the inter
ests of the state. Speaking for myself
I will say that I am in favor of any
honorable means that will be of interest
to the state My home has always been
in Republic county, and I am always
ready to speak a good word and do what
can for our state and her people,"
Major Anderson has also received a
private letter from Senator George w
Hanna of Clay Center in which Senator
Hanna says
4 note that there is some talk of a
semi celebration in Kansas
in 1904 While it is some five years
distant I think it would be a wise and
beneficial move. From what I know of
the people of Clay county I believe
would be safe in pledging them for at
least $1,000 stock in such an enter
prise"

TOM JOHNsON's MOTIVE.
The $1z,OoO,ooo Was Merely Incl
dental to the Detroit Scheme.

New York, July Pa complimentary
dinner was rendered last night to Prof..
as the author of THE Man With the
Hoe" by the Manhattan Single TAX
club at the Marlborough hotel ABOUT
70 members of the club were IN attend
ance for the purpose of meeting MT
Markham, prominent among them De
ing Tom L. Johnson, Henry George,
Mrs. Henry George, widow OF the great
single taxer; Postmaster CharIes w:
Dayton, and John NJ Parsons, leader OF
the recent Brooklyn strike.
PORT. Markham said: Il LOOK upon
Henry George as one of the liberators
of the age. His vigorous thought mas
passed with great power over ciV1llZa-
ton. A great passion of humanity
filed his heart. He made a daring at
tempt to solve the industrial enigma
There is one thing in Henry George
that strongly holds my heart. It is the
fact that he sees the great truth that
the industrial movement is a religious
movement at bottom. He somewhere
refers to Christ as the great political
economist of the centuries. 1 heartily
agree with his conception of the noble
mission Of religion 1t IS to furnish the
spirit for organizing the kingdom OF
social justice among men. Its mission
is to establish on earth practical fra
ternity.'
THE Progress of the Single Tax" was
the topic of Tom L. Johnson.
Mr.. johnson told of the work he had
been interested in in the city of Detroit,
and how a single tax measure had
nearly been passed by the Michigan
legislature.
AT one of the dinners of this club I
stated that I should devote my best
efforts in the future to promoting the
cause of the single tax said Mr.. John
son, and many may think that I have
not been true to my word, because of
my work in Detroit. want to say
that my only interest there was to Sc
cure municipal ownership of the cars
and then to run them free, taxing the
land owner for the cost. 1 saw through
this a wedge for the advancement of
the single tax. This was my motive,
and not for the slight interest I had in
the stock of the roads. I will say that
1 will engage in no other business as
long as 1 live further than advancing
the single tax"

HORSES DISAPPEARING.
Automobile Is Invading Newport and
Becoming Popular.

Newport. R. L. July 25.-The horse
has begun to disappear from Newport
before the rush of the automobile into
popularity. Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Drex-
ell, who had as fine a string of horses
as was ever brought to Newport, have
disposed Of some of their fine stock
to make room in their stable for cleo
trio carriages. The change is admitted
to be radical one and is a prominent
topic of conversation at the clubs and
dinner parties.
The Drexels are counted as among
the leaders at Newport, so the fashion
they have set in displacing horses by
automobiles is likely to be followed by
many others and it would not be sur
prising if the horses were deported in
large numbers before the season is at
end.
The Drexel stable is being changed
about considerably to suit the idea of
its owner as to the proper means of To-
comotion about town, while the new
FLIES that remain are having a doIeful
time of it, possibly wonder which is to
go next.
Mrs. Drexel received today a hand
some automobile of the Stanhope phae-
ton variety, which she will drive her
self. Mrs. Hermann OelrichS, whose
rides on automobiles have been con-
Quoted to unfreQuented places. is now
sufficiently confident of her skill to Wis
it the buster parts of the city She as
tOniShed her friends on Saturday by
doing her shopping in her automobile
on crowded and narrow Thames street.

CUBA TO HAVE ELECTIONS.
Test of Self-Government Will Be
Allowed Soon.

Washington, July 25-President Nc
KinIey will in all probability lay before
the cabinet the question of municipal
elections in Cuba. Col Carlos Garcia,
who represents the Cuban Republican
league, had a conference with the presi-
dent at which he told him that many
Cubans were anxious to elect their mu-
nicipal officers.
While the policy of the administration
in this respect had not been defined, it
is said there is no objection to permit
ting the Cubans to run their local af
fairs under the supervision of the mill
tary authorities. This is done to a con-
siderable extent at the present time,
but the mayors in almost every in
stance have been appointed by the mil
itary authorities. By permitting the
Cubans to hold local elections and ad-
minister their local governments they
