some weeks ago under arrest as George

Of the doctor as long as the orders Of the

thing could be done to avoid the neces-
sity Of taking Mr.. Clawson back to a

the law clamors and the law must be
satisfied. There have been several petit

a thousand names. These VIII be present

THE PUBLIC
Somethin for Sharks in All Lines
of Business to Prey
Upon.

"You must remember said the mar
who was arguing with great volubiiity and
self-approval, that we owe duty to the
public
,."Who is the public?" inquired Mr.. Bly,
'Why-er-the masses, you know; the
general populace."
NO" said Mr. Blylins, with emphasis,
"you got the wrong idea The public is
something to be roped in; to be gouged; to
be walked over. To the sugar trust the pub
lie is great congregation of confectionery
consumers. To the beef trust the public IS
the politician it is a collection of persons
who have influence at elections; to the the

retribution is always waiting. The man
who imposes on the public in one respect
lapses back into the general outfit in some
thing else and is imposed on in his turn.
It's a heartiess business all the way
through. One great and elaborate scheme
Of imposition. What people ought to do is
to hold primaries in all parts of the civilized
world and send delegates to The Hague to
see if they can't discuss something like a
disarmament scheme by which the people
of this earth can be persuaded to quit i'm

M'KfNLEY,S WAR.
The Philippine Policy of the fres1-
dent Is Based Upon
Politics.

The pain and amazement of the NC
Kinleyites 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 turpitude heard
of before? Col. Hay was aghast at the
thought, in his letter to the Ohio re-
publicans. It is true that his horror
and disgust were a trifie too plainly
theatrio; his starts and gasps and
stares were cleary STACEY; You all
along saw that he would be perfectly
willing to go off and take drink with
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 republican administration
to account for the colossal failure of its
Philippine policy.
Bear in mind, however, that the OBJ
lection is not to making party capital
out of the Philippines. as such. 1t is
only to making democratic party cap
ital The truth is, Mckinley and Han
ma had intended all the political capital
that could be made out of the Philip
pines strictly for themselves. For the

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 adulatorS would have said if his
plans had not gone so grievously
wrong. If Aguinaldo had groveied at
his feet; if the Filipinos had hastened
to submit to his usurpation and illegal
proclamation, what powerful argu-
ment the republicans would have seen
i'll it Ill for reelecting the great, strong,
infexible, far-seeing, infallible man,
who spal1e and it was done, who COM
manded and it stood fast. To demand
votes for success in foreign complica-
tons is legitimate; but to say that
votes should be withheld on account of
the humiIiating failure-why, that is
simply monstrous! Men who would do
that would botanize upon mothers
grave and traffic in their country 5
shame. THIS is a republican, a McKin-
ley, war, if it succeeds, but if it goes
On from one disgrace to another it is a
national war, for which all are respon-
sihle, and to support which all citizens
are bound to stand together.-N. Y.

a man who lives up to his principles.

harping away on Gen. Otis alleged in

age or candor to admit that Mckinley

coo. Hasn't the country had enough of
the republican party's experience" in
managing trusts?-N. Y. World.
Mr.. Hanna made a s'break' as
soon as he opened his mouth to the
interviewers in New York. ''My OBJ
servations of England" he said, ''are
that it is a country with a good political
system. 1t is fully as good as ours"
If Mr.. Hanna's Ohio opponents are
sharp. they will observe the implica-
tions of this remark. 1t means that.
in his opinion, a monarchical form of
government is just as good as re-
public. Some of Mr.. Hanna's critics
think that monarchy is what he is
leading us to.-Spring ngfeld Republican.
The republican party managers
are striving hard to decide upon the
most available vice presidential can
didate for next year. Their evident
anxiety that Mr.. Mckinley shall have
an exceptionally strong running mate
is significant. 1t means that they are
aware of the waning popularity of the
president. The great desideratum is
some arrangement by means of which
Mr.. Mckinley can be placed at the head
OF the ticket again and still be kept as
much as possible in the background
during the campaign.-Miuneapo'is

AN ERROR OF REPUBLICANS.
Free Trade England Is as Prosperous
as the "PrOtected" United
States.

The difficulty that our protectlonlst
friends find in fastening the credit for
increased prosperity on the Dingley law
is largely due to the fact that free
trade England is enjoying similar
prosperity simultaneously, and without
any assistance from a Dingley law. Ii
America, with the highest kind of pro-
lection, could show a record for pros
perity while England with free trade
suffers from industrial depression, the
argument for protection would have the
semblance of plausibility at least.
But eX-Speaker Thomas B. Reed gives
testimony that Great Britain is on the
top of the crest of the wave of pros
perity, as well as the United States. So
if we are going to form a judgment as to
the comparative advantage of protec-
ton and free trade, we have the puz-
zling condition of the same results un-
der each system. The deduction to be
drawn from the present conditions is
that the prosperity we are beginning
to enjoy comes from causes unrelated
to tariff laws.
In the days of the Mckinley tariff and
the Sherman silver law, under which de-
preston settled upon this country, the
suffering public was told to be patient
and to rejoice that the Mckinley law
was causing industrial havoc abroad, if
it was not producing prosperity at
home. The misery of the Welsh tin
plate makers was a picture that our
protectionist friends gloated over con-
tinually. The sufferings of others were
offered as a compensation for our own
troubles. But now all is changed. Pro-
lection cannot point to industrial
misery abroad as triumph of protec-
ton. On the contrary, free traders can
point to prosperity in England and cite
it as triumph Of ee trade, with as
much justice as our friends, the protec-
tiOnists, claim the increased activity in
this country a triumph of FrOtection.-

PLEASED THE DRIVER.
The Stout Lady Was Less n Burden
to Him When She Was
Least ObIiginE.

One of the most delightful women in New
years ago. She is built on the order of the
tub, but she has genial and accommodate
ing disposition and laughs heartily when she
tells this story on herself:
She had been to the Catsl1ills for few
weeks, staying at one of those mountain top
houses that it takes you four hours to drive
up to and half an hour to come down from.
She was met at the nearest railway station,
she and half dozen others, by stage that
set off up the mountain road. 1t was hot and
the stout lady had kind heart. She pitied
the horses and as the road grew sleeper she
volunteered to get out and walk. The driver
helped her down and she trudged along as
far as she could. Then she was helped into
the stage again and at the next steep grade
she insisted on being helped out. She had
returned to the carriage another time, when
they came to still sleeper stretch of road
way. The stout lady was just too tired to
walk another step.
We'll" she said, I'm not going to get out
again. I'm too tired"
The driver turned to her with look of
gratitude.

GUILELESS TENNESSEE FOLK.
They Stand Not at All on Ceremony
and Say just What
They Think.

SIN no state in the south, and L travel
in all, are people in the back districts
as guileless as in Tennessee" said a
business man. 81 fancy that most of
the stories of their simple nature are
true. In some manner they get an ink
ling of what the world is doing, but
that is all they want. They do not trou-
BILE themselves with inquiry. They do
not know the meaning of an interroga-
ton point as applied for information.
l was in a town in the eastern end of the
state, where a stranger is as muol n
sight as circus parade. A woman rode
up to the door of store and looked out
from her sunbonnet; the merchant
went to the door just as he was, in his
shirtsleeves and pair or nankeen over
alls held up by a rope.
"'How do, Miss Sarey; won't We
light? % was his salutation.
Reckon not to-day, Dave. Pap's
down with the yallers agin and wants
We to send i'm some of them new bit
tiers We was tellin' him about The
young woman showed her bonnet back
on her head and took me in as she talked
to Dave.
"'Ye mean Trust Schnapps, Miss Sa-
rey, l reckon, said the merchant.
That's it, Dave, cause pap said they
was to be charged up
..Then she readjusted her bonnet,
picked up the reins, dug the heel of her
shoe into the flank of her nag, and as
the nag loped away Miss Sarey looked
back, and, pointing at me, called out:
"Say, Dave, when are you goin' to
kill it??'
''The merchant apologized to me, or
thought he did, by saying that he reck-
oned was the 'fust man that ever come
to these diggin's in pair of shoes that
had no tannin'' N. Y. Sun.

MR.. HANNA'S SOLICITUDE.
The republican Boss Is Not Inter-
ested in the Philippine
Question.

Mr.. Mark Hanna is Jealous 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-
gramme. 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. 1t is very wrong to suggest
to the admiral that he should 90 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 20 be content with that. 1t appears
also to be to the interest of Mr.. Hanna
that he be content with that.
Hanna uoes 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 impediment to the major why

possibility that he may yield? 1t is a
good old proverb: LET the cobbler stick
to his last and if Dewey is wise he will
act upon it. Il he does not he must take
his chances, even of offending the po-
tent political figure of this country, his
monitor, Mark Hanna.
Mr. Hanna in a recent interview said :
Il do not know anything about the Pail
ippines; the only fight [ am watching is
the one in Ohio" These statements VIII
be readily accepted by his countrymen
Mr.. Hanna does not know and never dlc
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 discredlt
able to the republic. AS to the fight II
Ohio, of course Mr.. Hanna will watch
that very carefully. 1t involves his po
litical fortunes and his personal pocket
book.-Chicago Chronicle.

A Statesman Is Needed.

We are upon grave times. Great new
issues have arisen, new questions of su-
preme importance have come into view,
even since Mr.. McKinleys nomination
little more than three years ago. While
crediting him with honesty OF intention,
there is a feeling among a vast number
of people that president is needed
more thoroughly equipped in states
manship, more vigorous in determine
ton 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-
ton. 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-
trv 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 to 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.-Butfalo Cour-
