frank and courageous. He tells the
people exactly where he stands on all
the great issues. His Labor day
speech. in Chicago put him in sympa-
thy with the working people all over
the country. He discussed their cause
with understanding and sympathy, as
if he were one of them. Not so with
Roosevelt. He was pelted with jeers
and hard questions by the working
men of Chicago on Labor day. They
openly tainted him with favoring gov
eminent by injunction and a military
form of government.
Hanna has been keeping Roosevelt
as far west as possible because the
eastern republicans will not stand
for his boEbastic and egotistic ora
tory on any terms, but Roosevelt has
troubles in the west. The western
people are not to be imposed upon
by gingerbread hero.
At Roosevelt's meetings there are
the ubiquitous colored men, who re-
mind him that a colored regiment
saved the rough riders from annihila-
ton on San .uan hill, and then there
is sure to be a shower of posters con-
tanning quotations from Roosevelt's
narrow, conceited aristocrat, having
no real sympathy with the people.
He has sent Hanna word that he
is tired of the west "a wants to come
home, but, while he is losing votes
for the republicans, he is doing it in
states that will be democratic any
way, and Hanna doesn't propose to
let him help the democrats by his
foolish speeches in doubtful states.
Flaws In the Gold Standard.
The republicans are now industri-
ously pointing out the flaws in their
gold standard law and asking to be
given another opportunity to fix it
up. They will get that anyway in
the coming short session of the Fifty
sixth congress, but if republican
congress and executive couldn't pass
satisfactory gold standard law at
| the last session, the bankers have a
| right to suspect that they will be I'M
able to do so at any future time.

VICTORY WELL ASSURED.
The Vermont Election Indicates
That the Drift II Toward
Bryan.

Four years ago 48 more electoral
votes would have elected Bryan. To
be elected now he must get that
many votes IN addition to those he
had in 1896, and if he loses any of
his former votes he must get enough
in addition to make up for the loss.
were very evenly divided. A slight
drift would have sent them over the
line. Everything depends now, there
fore, on the direction of the drift. A
small majority in a state is safe if
the drift is in the direction of max
ing it secure.
The Vermont election indicates that
the drift there is toward Bryan. The
democrats are indisputably stronger
in Vermont now than they were four
years ago. What light does that
throw on the possibilities in other
states?
The republican vote in Vermont has
fallen off about ten per cent. as COM
pared with the corresponding election
in 1896, while the democratic vote has
increased about 16 per cent.
Indiana has Is electoral votes. In
1896 the republican vote there was
1928, 754, and the democratic 305, 573. If
the republicans lose ten per cent. and
the democrats gain 16 per cent. the
republican vote in Indiana this year
will be 291,379 and the democratic
ity of 63.O83.
A similar process would give the
democrats Delaware by AT, West

TAXDODGI.2 HANNA.
His Sworn Statement to the Assessor
I'm His Home County In
Ohio.

A startling revelation has just been
made at Cleveland, which shows that
Mark Hanna, instead of being pluto
crat, is one of the poorest citizens Of
the republic. 1t all came out through
the Office of the assessor of Cuyahoga
county. Mr.. Hanna has made sworn
return to this meddlesome official
showing that the value of all his per-
sonal property is only a little more
than $4,000. This return makes Mr..
Hanna's tax bill for the year very
small, and, as before stated, shows
that he is poor man. It is suggest
ed that if Mr.. Hanna continues much
longer to devote himself to the inter
ests of Mr.. Mckinley he will be a
bankrupt, for it is well known that
when Mr.. Hanna first entered public
life he was worth many millions.
1t is recalled that his first great
stroke of craftsmanship and act of
patriotism consisted in contributing
literally to the fund raised to pay
Mr.. McKinley's debts, which were ac-
cumulated because confessedly Mr..
Mckinley was a statesman and not
a business man. But this patriotic
act did not cost him much, according
to the statements of himself and his
lieutenants. Mr.. Hanna's living ex-
penses are not nearly so heavy as are
those of 20 or more other statesmen at
Washington who have acquired a
great deal less fame than has Mr..
Hanna. What, then, it is being asked,
has become of Mr.. Hanna's fortune
1t is not believed that he put all the
money for Mr. Mckinley in the last
campaign or that he has been draw
ing on his own bank account for the
presidents benefit in this campaign.
And yet Mr.. Hanna's sworn statement
recently made at Cleveland shows him
to be almost a pauper.-Washingt
Times.

RenubIican Loss.

Mark Hanna is alarmed over the
growing indications of republican de-
feat this fall. Fear has seized the
camp of the republican national COM
mittee, and the party boss has begun
to use the whip on the party work
ers. The big republican loss shown
in the Maine election, following on
the heels of the decreased majority
secured by the G.. o. P. in Vermont,
has served as the cause for peremp-
tory orders having been issued for
every henchman of the party to get
out and hustle. Hanna has quietly
begun the squeezing of campaign
funds from western monopolists and
trust directors. Word has been
passed along the line that contribu-
tions or pledges must be forthcom-
ing during the ten days the head of
the party Is in Chicago.

THE nn1EDIATE ISSUE.
Mckinley In the Interest OF
Party. Policy.

Maj. Mckinley declares that while
the Philippine issue may be paramount
the silver question is immediate. He
therefore insists that the latter must
take precedence in the campaign.
Yet if Bryan should be elected, as
now seems assured, and by political
revolution both houses should be
democratic, at least four months must
elapse before Mr.. Bryan could get con-
gress together to deal with silver or
with anything else. From November
z until March William Mckinley will
still be president.
But meanwhile shall the Ssnigger''
killing still go on unchecked and I'M
challenged in the Philippines? Shall
we keep in the field an army of 65, OO0
men and a great fleet of war ships to
back up our wicked and baseless claims
of sovereignty over people who long
to be free? Shall we go on with our
criminal aggression, burning and slay-
ing and sowing havoc throughout a
stricken land?
Which is the immediate issue? That
of dealing with question that cannot
be reached in half a year or that OF
stopping a war that is destroying the
liberties of the Filipinos while under
mining our own?
If your house is on fire, which is the
immediate issue, that of eXtinguish-
ing the flames, or that of deciding on
plans for a new barn which you think
of building next year?
| imperialism is at once the para
mount and the immediate issue. Maj

Disagreement Among Leaders.

Unless the republican leaders put
their heads together and harmonic
their arguments they will stand a
good chance of not deceiving many
people in this campaign. Mckinley
declares that silver is the main issue
and that the battle of 1896 must be
fought over again. Roosevelt insists
that silver is not only an issue, but
the paramount one, which it would
seem ought to satisfy even a Montana
'.silver republican" On the other
hand, Foraker says in his Youngs-
town speech that all of the republic
ans and half of the democrats are
opposed to free silver, but that Bryan
will try to force it.-Anaconda Stand

OHIO IN REVOLT.
One Hundred and Twenty-Five For
mer Mckinley Men In One Town
Come Out for Bryan.

Republican managers in Ohio are
aghast at the continued desertion of
voters from Hanna-McKinley ranks.
From nearly every city and town in
this state comes reports of promi.
nent and influential republicans who
declare openly that they will vote
for Bryan and Stevenson and against
Mckinley, trusts and imperialism. The
following communication from a
prominent business man of Coshocton
ports from Mark Hanna's private
bailiwick:
"Coshocton, O., Sept. TO- 190O.-Editor Ma
tional Democrat: herewith send you the
names of a few prominent republicans of
this city who are against Mr. Mckinley in
this campaign because of trusts and i'm
perialism:
..Hon. Theodore Neighbor, a prominent
merchant of New Connorstown, and with
him more than 20 others, who declare they
will not vote for Mckinley this year. Mr..
Neighbor was a prominent speaker for Nc
Kfnley In 1896

cannot stand Mark Hanna and the trusts.

who says the only way to save the country
is to vote for Bryan.

buke the trusts, one of which closed our

There are at least LIS other republicans
In and about this city who have declared
their intention of supporting Bryan this
year, but whose names are kept secret to
prevent being prosecuted by the Hanna ma

what Mckinley Assumes.

There is something almost laugh
able in Mr.. McKinley's wholesale as
sumption of credit for the prosperous
condition of the country. In his let
ter Of acceptance the republican
party and his own administration are
again made the source of all the bless
ings which the people enjoy. The
republican party-especially in its
earlier days-can point to much in it's
history that is worthy of praise and

self-satisfied leader, Mr.. Mckinley,
really assumes too much when he

The reason is that | do not put any

stove. He is walking furnace. Put
fuel into him and he will burn it up
and create heat, just as surely as when
you put in into stove and apply a
match. In winter time the fuel is
needed. because the exterior tempera-

the body. In summer time scarcely
any is needed because the outside air
keeps the body warm. But most peo-
pie keep shoyeling in fuel, just as II
the temperature was below freezing.
They either do not know how to slow
down the fires in the body or they
think that the pleasures of swallowing
fuel compensates for the extra swell
terlng that follows. The discomfort

High Rentals in New York.

How valuable space is in Lower New
York has often been discussed. There
is practically no limit to the price that
may be put on a small portion OF
Gotham real estate and atmosphere on
Broadway south of Canal street, and
the kind of business that requires
showing on the ground floor to attract
customers as they pass has the hardest
time OF it. This is powerfully illus
trated in narrow rcom-a mere
crack in the wall-lately opened as
quick lunch restaurant on Broadway,
near Trinity church So confined is the
apartment that there is no room for
moving walters, and not much for the
guests. A line of tables, each with a
square space in the middle, in which
stands a young woman attendant, runs
down the room for patrons to
squeeze in and sit around them. At
the edge OF the space in which stands
this girl is row of electric buttons,
each one marked with the name Of
some common consumption in quick
luncheries, such as pork and beans, pie
of various kinds sandwiches and so
forth. The guest gives his order, the
girl touches button, and from below
like harlequin trick, springs up the
particular dainty desired. In this way
the manager of the place is able tC
feed hundreds of men in an hour or
two in a room not much larger than a
Harlem fiat parlor, and he pays rent
for the privilege that would seem ex-
orbitant were not one aware of the
enormous business he does. In Park
row, opposite the postoffice, there is a
small hallway occupied as branch
store for big cigar firm, which draws
a rental equal to that OF a large house
uptown, and yet the cigar firm was
glad to get it at any prlce.-New York
