FROM the reports of Congressman
Jones' speech at Bowling Green it
would seem that our Representative
does hot intend to make Ais fight
upon issues that are temporarily
RELOCATED to the past, but that he
will be in the van with those pro-
gressive Democrats who are quick to
catch hold of the euemy's weak posi- :
ton, and to fight them on their own
untenable ground. The CITIZEN
feels that Mr.. Jones' utterances are
another endorsement of the position
which it took months ago on the
lines of l6 to l and Imperialism.

MIR. JONES BELIEFS.

Hon. W. A. Jones opened the cam
paign in this district last week at
Caroline court. Mr.. Jones discussed
at length the main issues, the princi-
pal portion of his speech being devo-
ted to Imperialism, which he declared
to be the leading Issue.
lie said he was as strong for Free
Silver at 10 to / as he ever was, that
he believed in time it would again
come to the front, but now it was
dormant and no legislation could af-
feet 1t for the next four years. He
did not wish to deceive the Demo-
Gratis by saying that if Bryan was
elected we would enact free silver
legislation, for it cannot be done, as
the Republican Senate bars the way
during the coming term. The most
OF his speech was devoted to impe-
rlalism and trusts, which he said are
paramount to all other questions in
this campaign.

THERE seems to be much interest
throughout the State as to whether
the special session of the Legislature,
to be called for the purpose of passing
upon the Constitutional Convention
question, will take up any matters
of general legislation. We assume
that if it will first attend to the
Convention matter, and do it in
good shape, the people will have
little to say if it dabbles into other
legislation, though there is a pretty
general belief that enough harm is
done the State by biennial sessions.
Should anything transpire to raise a
howl-for instance, like the Commits
sioners of Valuation act-leglslators
who favored taking up general legis-
lation would have hot shot poured
into them by their constituents. 1t
would seem, then, that the wisest
course for the members to pursue
would be to have nothing else to
engage their minds or time but the
matter they were called to act upon
providing for a Constitutional
Convention.

TRICKY, BUT NOT HEATHER
CHINESE.

Two tricks of the Republican
managers have become very patent,
and those who read their cunningly
edited campaign book should look
with much allowance upon its
claims and statements.
One statement that they have
shrewdly launched, and which has not
the slightest foundation Of truth IN it,,
is the expression cf fears that if BRYAN
carries the country the Democrats
will win the Senate by small
majority. The conclusion is drawn,
Notwithstanding the loud claims of a
few weeks ago, now suddenly become
silent, that there is danger that
the money question will be re-opened
and, IN the event of BrSan's election,
free silver will dominate the Senate
as well as the House and the Execu-
tive. Nothing butan unprecedented
record of deaths among Senators and
a complete turn-around among
legislatures in several hopelessly Re-
publican states could achieve this
end, and the Republican managers
know it well. But they have, never
theless, changed their tune of Boosting
over hopelessly fastening upon this
country the gold standard, and in
insincerity are seeking to brighten
the business interests with bugaboo
or display of free silver spectres.
1t is believed-and there are good
reasons for giving it credence that
In some localities, where under exist
ing conditions it is not much sacra-
flee to do so, mills have been, and
are almost daily closing down, with
view to opening up just previous
to the November election. Th is is a
beautiful campaign dodge, and will be
as potent as millions of dollars of a
campaign fund. The owners tell
their employees that there is some
danger of Bryan's triumph, in which
event the mills would he closed for
good; that just now they would prefer
suspending until there is some GER
tainty that it will be otherwise. Just
before election they will resume,
upon the confidence" theme of GER
tain Republican success; the half
starved operatives will be reinstated,
and, through gratitude to their bene-
factor (the operator) and the fears
of threatened permanent closing out
if Mckinley does not win, they will
march to the polls by hundreds and
thousands, under the unconscious
lash of the money power and mill
owners.
Our friends, the enemy, will poo
hoo the statement, but we have been
in the midst of it in years past, and
seen the miners of Pennsylvania
imprest in the same manner and for
the same purposes. What our ewes
have seen that we believe, and what
has once happened may happen
again.
