alone, supreme. unchaIlenged! To the
naked eye, there is nothing whatever
left of the national republican party,
except what can be seen under the
hat of Marcus Alonzo Hanna. People
who are curious enough to look be
meath the surface are aware that
while he is the unresisted autocrat OF
the great political organization he
rules with rod Of iron, he is per-
mitted and able to do so only as the
delegate of the combined trusts and
monopolies of the country, who con-
troll and dictate to him, even as he
controls and dictates to his candi-
dates, his men in office, from the
highest to the lowest, and his herd Of
political cattle in the senate and
house of representatives.
As it was four years ago, it is the
will Of the trusts and monopolies that
he shall be continued in power,
through the nominal presidency of
his personal creation, Mckinley. He
has but to give the nod, and the job is
done. There is chance that it may
not prove TO the liking Of the great
voting masses of the union; but that
is question which cannot be decided

DENOMINATION OF M'KINLEY,
1t Is the VIII Of the Truats and Mo-
nopoIies That He BE Contin-
ned in ONCE.

Four years ago Mr.. Hanna succeed-
ed in nominating Hon. William Nc
Kinley as the republican candidate
for president of the United States.
But it was only accomplished after
two years of the hardest kind of pre-
liminary political work, the aid of
creatures like Wimberley, of Louis
lana; the purchase of several hun
dred head of delegates from rotten
southern boroughs, and the most
lavish promises of patronage. On ac-
count of these malodorous but neees-
sary preparations, Senator Platt, of
New York, often and feelingly re-
ferred to Mr.. Mckinley as ..the mort
gagged candidate" His shrewd busi-
ness manager did not escape, harsh
criticism at the hands of many party
leaders of that day. Hanna did not
mind the slurs of his antagonists in
the game. He made his plans, kept
his check book in condition of per-
nicious partisan activity, and landed
his man.
Between the time Of the st. Louis
convention and that in Philadelphia,
how things changed! Again Hanna
was on hand to nominate William Nc
Kinley. He had not had to do any
preliminary work, and there was no
one to say him nay. He was no long

German Waiter Who Thought 1T
Could BE Used to Identity an
Umbrella.

| There is waiter in a certain restau-
rant in Chicago, who has but recently
landed from Germany, and his knowl-
edge of American ways and manner
Isms is vague and peculiar. But that
has nothing to do with the tale, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
| A well-known member of the board
Of trade visited the restaurant one day
last week. The man who spends his

would further advance the price of the
cereal
All through his hasty luncheon he
turned the matter over in his mind.
The soup disappeared as did the meats
and dessert, but neither the food nor
his environments appealed to the
broker. Weightier matters were ON his
mind, and he mechanically slowed
away his meal in the manner locomo-
tive fireman would throw coal into the
frebox of an engine.
When the waiter had placed the
check at his elbow and the dessert was
finished the diner had made up his
mind. He would hold his. wheat for
further rise, and he rose and tossed
aside his napkin. At the cashiers
desk he waited impatiently for his
change and then plunged through the

atively.

the broker.

went to question the waiter, for in q

specfous Plea OF Imperialism Ex-
posed by First Republican
President.

The republican national platform
promises to the people of the Philip
pines the largest measure of self-gov-
ernment consistent with their welfare
and our duties"
Abraham Lincoln disposed Of this
specious plea, used in his time, as it has
been in every time, by the apo1ogists
of government without the consent OF
the governed. In the course of one OF
his famous series of speeches replying
to Douglas the first republican presi.
dent said:
These arguments that are made. that
much allowance as they are capable of en-
as their condition will aIIow-What are
these arguments? They are the arguments
that kings have made for enslaying the
people in all ages of the world. You VIII
find that all the arguments in favor OF
ktngcraft were of this class that they al
ways bestrode the neeks of the people, not
that they wanted to do It, but because the
people were better Off for being ridden.
Turn it whatever way you will, whether IT
come from the mouth of a king an exs
cuse for enslaving the people of the coun.
try, or from the mouth of men of one race
for ens1aving the men of another, 1t Is ali

judgment on the Philippine policy OF

similar arguments gets the case put
over until July %. Meanwhile Rath-
bone struts about Havana. Under the
pretext that he will be needed as a
witness in the trials he is not arrested,
and it becomes very evident that Han
ma and his friends do not dare to let
the gentleman escape to this country
for fear he might tell all he knows.
The German-Ame e1 lean Vote.
Hanna and his satellites are becom-
ing sadly worried over the detection
of the German-American vote. Repre-
sentative Dick relieved his feelings on
the subject by getting leave to print
a speech about the Germans in the
Record just before congress adjourned.
The other day he gave out the same
speech as an interview to Washing
ton paper which supports the admins
tration.
Representative Dick thinks he dis
poses of the argument against mi1itar-
ism by pointing out that great many
more men are drafted into the army
in Germany than are enlisted IL this
country. He does not seem to realize
that it is the principle of militarism to
which the German-American object.
They see very clearly that the action
of this administration in the last two
years has been only the entering wedge
and they propose toprotest against the
establishment of a great standing
army.
It is unfortunate for Representative
Dicks desire to soothe the Germans
that the war department on the same
day boasted that it had many applica-
tions from people wanting to volun-
teer in case of war with China. 1t re-
gretfully pointed out that congress
would have to take action before these
alleged bloodthirsty taxpayers could
be accommodated, but it commented
with pride on the martial spirit dis
played by the people.
The war department makes special
ty of revamping all its old stories. 1t
hates to take the trouble to invent new
excuses to the people. It will be re-
membered that at the beginning of the
Philippine trouble it sent out this same
story about being besieged with ap-
plications from those wanting to enlist.

pLANKs OF THE PLATFORM.
Points That Crop Out In the Pro-
gramme of the ImperiaI-
istic Party.

The gold standard.
A protective tariff.
The blessings of liberty and civGiza-
ton by cannon.
Ship subsidies to advance the mer-
chant marine.
Trust twaddle.
Endorsement of peace conference at
The Hague.
Reduction in war taxes after the ad-
journment of congress.
The above, in brief, is the republican
platform adopted in national conyen-
ton. For the first time in the
history of our American politics a
great politiealgparty has declared in
specific terms in favor of the gold
standard. It has condemnedsth binet-
allism, for which its candidate, and the
peoples president, voted on three oc-
casions as representative in congress
from Ohio. It places itself firmly on
record as the party of protection and
proposes to maintain inviolate the
trust breeding Dingley bill, to the al
legged benefcent effects of which, with
the gold standard, it is claimed the sup
posed prosperity now felt in the land is
entirely due. The Philippine declara-
tfons are the most unsatisfactory of
all the planks of the platform. They in
dicate an indefinite, uncertain policy

the Endorsement of the protective pol

by the republicans after the party has
had undisputed control of every
branch of the federal government for
four years and has not passed. nor Sc

With the congress adjourned, the
war said to be over, the war taxes still
remaining, the platform declares for
the removal of those annoying taxes
which, had the party been sincere and
the state of the treasury what is
claimed. might have been removed be-
fore the adjournment of congress.
But the Endorsement of peace con
ference. every sentiment of which has
been and is being violated by the
annointed administration, approaches
buffoonery. Viewed upon its merits

HE MISSED THE MOTIVE.
The Speaker Thought 1t Was His Owx
Genius That Held the
Child.

This is story which Representative Eddy,
of Minnesota, tells on himself. Mr.. Eddy
not only enjoys the situation when the laugh
is turned against him, but has a sense of hui
NOR which leads him to start the laugh some
times himself:
"In making the campaign. in my district
one year," said Mr.. Eddy, Il took along as
an attraction veteran of the war of 1872
and of the civil war who was famous hand
at beating the drum. He was drummer
from away back and could arouse whole
township. Drum music is an incendiary
kind of thing, anyhow, and the old captains
drumming was particularly stirring.
"Well, one night, after the captains drum
had given the usual overture, commenced
my speech to the populace which had been
lured to the scene by his drum. ! noticed
at the foot of the rostrum, the same being
a big dry goods box, bright-eyed little
fellow about II years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great atten-
ton. 1t pleased me very much. Any fool
can interest an audience of adults, but it
takes genius to hold child.
$50, after the speaking, went down and
spoke to the little fellow, and after sha kins
hands with him asked him how he liked my
speech.

them being the chateau of Mr.. George w.
