4 FOOLISH KEpuBL1oAN CLAIM.

That there has been a very consid-
liable degree of prosperity during the
Ipast twelve or eighteen months for a
minority of the American people, is not
to be doubted. That this prosperity has
reached the great mass of the people, is
very much to be doubted But the
question of proportion benefited is
hardly the one to be considered when
the situation is reviewed upon broad
lines. That the banks are full of idle
money, in Wheeling as in most other
cities, is a fact; but it does the poor
debtor no good, for he can't get hold
of any portion of it, even at six or any
other per cent. That business is BOOM
ing in certain industrial lines is beyond
argument; that prices have greatly ad-
vanced is an accomplished fact; but
whether these conditions have benefit
ted the rank and file of the people is de-
cidedly open to argument.
But even that isn't the point. The
meat in the cocoanut is the character
istic Republican claim that everybody
is prosperous and happy and that the
Mckinley administration is responsible
for it, If, for the sake of the argu-
ment, it be granted that the country is
prosperous to the extent that business
has increased and prices have advanced,
the Mckinley administration is certain
ly not responsible.
Business has lately made some rapid
strides in the United States, tbs true;
but so it has all over the civilized
world. In some other countries the
gain per cent is ahead of ours. Is Nc
Kinley and the Republican party re-
sponsible for that? The revival in
England of late has been just as
marked as in the United States; France
has felt the effects of increased COM
mercial activity to a great extent:
England shared in it fully, until the
South African war cloud had its eff
feet; in Russia and Austro- Hungary
there was the same expansion of COM
mercial business: and even Africa and
Australia and the islands of the sea
have recently felt the influences of a
quickening business life. 1t has per-
meated the globe, and while we may
have acquired, perhaps, little more
than our share, largely through the
water and wind which the trust craze
has injected into certain manufacture
ing branches, we are by no means an
ISOLATED example of so-called prosperity.

AN EMBARRASSING POSITION.

Hon. w. J. Bryan has declined to sign
the petition to President Mckinley, ask
ing for the good Offices of this country
in mediation between England and the
Transvaal, and in doing so says:
Il DO not desire 20 join in the petition to
the President on this or any other subject
Our refusal to recognize the right of the
Fiiipinos to self-goVernment will embar-
rass us If we express sympathy with those
in other lands who are struggling TO fol-
low the doctrines set forth in the declara-
tion Of independence.
That is exactly where our Filipino
chicken is coming home to roost. In
dependent ourselves, and believers in
the widest form of liberty for mankind
throughout the world, we are at pres
ent engaged in the wholly un-American
task of subjugating some millions of
people on the other side of the world,
who are and have been fighting for in
dependence just as our fore-fathers did
in 1776. With what force and grace
would an offer of friendly mediation
come from the United States in the
South African affair, were it not for
this incubus, saddled upon us by the
administration at Washington? Under
the circumstances, President McKin-
ley's offer, if made, would only excite
English ridicule and contempt, for she
would be able to automatically and
truthfully say that we are engaged in
exactly the same line of business It's
a pretty state of affairs, indeed.

A STATESMAN Is NEEDED.

Buffalo Courier.
We are upon grave times. Great new is
sues have arisen, new questions Of SUI
preme importance have come into view.
even since Mr.. McKiniey's nomination lit
tie more than three years ago. While cred
iting him with honesty of intention, there
is feeling among a vast number of peo-
pie that President is needed more
thoroughly equipped in craftsmanship,
more vigorous in determination and action.
less independent upon the promptings of
advisors in his personal circle, less sub
ject to be swayed by popular clamor from
conscientious conviction.
We believe that with an able leader the
Democratic party win carry the election
next year, for the mass OF the people are
still and ever will be true to the principles
upon which our country was founded and
for more than a century maintained; and,
although at times in numbers misled, or
influenced for the maintenance of some APP
pealing 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 entered
calls for the services of a master mind
and a giant hand.

HANNA'S IDEAS.

Chicago Chronicle.
Sweeping as usual in his CONGRATULATIONS,
Mr.. Hanna arises to remark that the Fill
pinos who are fighting our soldiers are not
representative natives, but the riffraff of
the islands. Maybe Mr.. Hanna is right.
But we cannot forget that after the
Maine was destroyed Mr.. Hanna announc-
ed that only the tramps and the dsorderly
element of the American population want
ed war with Spain. He may have been
right in that likewise, though the state
ment was not f1attering to some 10000 900
people, nearly all of whom favored war.
But the point is that the riffraff are put
ting up a remarkably stiff article of fight
ing and it is fighting ability rather than
eminent responsibility which counts in a
warlike. struggle. Otherwise Mr.. Hanna S
influence in behalf of the Spaniards would
have proved too much for Dewey, Schley
and Shafter, and history shows that it
didn't.

Whisky occasionally comes in handy,
and one Of the times was Immediately
after the wreck of the steamer Scots
man. One of thirteen women placed
in one of the boats, with four sailors,
had the presence of mind to secure a
bottle of whisky from her cabin, which
she attached to the life preserver she
wore. When the sailors, completely ex-
hausted with their combat with the sea,
were on the point of giving up, that bot
tie of whisky was produced and its con-
tents put where it would do the most
good. AS a result the seamen fought
the battle out and all on board the boat
were saved.

CURRENT COMMENT.

FORAKER FORCED TO EAT CROW,
Kansas City Times.
Fire Alarm Foraker could not stand up
against the administration hose and he
now presents sorry spectacle. In fact,
he is now proclaiming as vehemently for
the conquest of the Philippines as he was
vehement in his denunciation of it few
days ago. But he goes still further in the
defense of the President by announcing
that If the industrial trusts cannot be con-
trolled without abandoning high protection
the Dngley tariff-he would let the
trusts so undisturbed. 1t is the most dis
graceful case of man changing his prin-
ciples for the possibility of an office on
record.
Until a week ago Foraker spent much of
his time in talking and in writing open let
tiers denuneiatory of Mckinley's colonial
empire scheme and all the other I'M
American policies Of the administration
He was so bitter in his denunciation of
the Hanna Mckinley combine and its tyr
amy that even those who We're well ac-
quainted with the mercurial nature of his
thinking apparatus thought il would be
impossible for him TO ever be reconciled
TO either Hanna or Mckinley. But Forak-
er's term in the Senate will expire in 1891
and Hanna owns the Republican machine.
The price of his apostasy is a promise that
he shall succeed himself II re will support
Mckinley in everything meanwhile.
Nothing is so productive of public con-
tempt as willing crow eating The pub
lie admres bold, fearless man if it is
satisfied that he is honest and sincere,
even when ne stands alone against the
world, but an insincere advocate of any
doctrine gets only ridicule and contempt
