The Administration As an Issue.

The Kansas City Journal quotes Vice
| Chairman Payne of the Republican
national committee as saying that the
administration of William McKinle,
will be the main issue in the coming
campaign, and holds that there /.
much truth in this utterance. Certain
questions will, of course, take the lead
in the Democratic campaign, but the
whole trend of that campaign will be
against the administration. The Dem
ocratic party and it's radical allies have
nothing new to offer as a campaign
| argument except those questions that
have arisen out of the present admin
Iistration.
Four years ago things were different.
Then the Democratic party-if one re-
gard the adherents of the Chicago
declaration as the party-practically
repudiated it's own president-the only
one the party had elected in forty
years. The silver question was pushed
~ tiC AiOIlt loI lllt III Sl tlIle DIS d OiS
national ISSUE, and on this ground the
f,new Democratic party and the old Re-
publican party met and had their fight.
But when a party stands by its prcsi-
dent, as the Republican party now
stands by President Mckinley. the
issue of a campaign that involves the
reelection of the president will be
that incumbents administration. The
party itself could not divert the cam
paign to specific issues if it desired, nor
can the conglomerate opposition forces
compel a diversion of sentiment from
the main question: Does the present
administration merit continuance"
Upon this broad ground the Repub-
lican party may feel particularly con-
fident in going before the people. If
such an administration as that of
President Mckinley, which has wit
messed the greatest revival of industry
in the history of the nation, which has
witnessed the largest domestic and
foreign trade in the annals of the
country, which has witnessed comfort
and happiness at home and enlarged
respect and prestige abroad-if such an
administration cannot stand upon its
merits before the tribunal of public
opinion, then there would seem to be
little reward for well doing in official
life. So far as the specific questions
are concerned, the Republicans are not
afraid of imperialism which has
been designated by the Democrats as
the paramount issue. nor can the de-
cree of the Kansas City convention
obscure the Importance of the old sill
yer issue so long as Bryan stands at
the head of the party.

Another Royal Victim.

The Italian anarchist is at it again
The world was shocked, Monday
morning. to read of the assination OF
King Humbert who has been for %
years, the ruler of Italy, governing his
kingdom wisely and having the love
and respect of his people. 1t was a
cowardly crime. The king was dis
tributing the prizes at an athletic
competition, when above the cheers of
the crowd came in rapid succession the
revolver shots that ended his life.
Humberts life was attempted. There
is an old adage that the third time
never fails.
With the possible exception of Queen
Victoria, every monarch of Europe is
in daily and hourly fear of being muir
dered. France, Russia, Germany, Spain
and Italy have each been shocked
again and again by more or less sue
cessful attempts on the lives of their
rulers since anarchy came into exist
ence, some 40 years ago. Italy has for
long been the hot-bed of men who seek
to destroy the lives of rulers. and near
ly every big tragedy in Europe in re-
cent years can be traced to the hand
of an Italian. 1t was just two years
this coming September that Empress
Elizabeth of Austria fell at the hands
of an anarchist. President Carnot of
France was stabbed at Lyons, June "a
1894 and on Aug. s. 1897. Canovas del
virtually ruler of that kingdom at that
time. was shot and killed at. Santa
Agueda. These mtrderers Awere all
italian anarchists Npf lfF Ago an
Italian made an attenipf on Che lif5oi
the Prince of Wales.
The sympathy of the world goes out
to Italy and to the beautiful Queer
Margherita who is idolized by her sub
jects no less than she has been, for ove1
80 years by her devoted husband. Nc
! European monarch has had happier
family life than King Humbert. His
successor on the throne will be the
only son born to him and his queen
| named Victor Emanuel for his famous
| grandfather. He Is said to be quiet
| studious young man, with more fat-
| tractive qualities of heart and mint
than of person. Though he be as wise
and strong and sas well beloved BY his
millions of subjects as his father has
| been there is ever the crank, the IA
matte and anarchist ready to cut hin
down at the first opportunity.
