The nomination of Bryan and
Iowne by the democrats is not among
the impossible things. The opinion
IS growing that they make a combi-
nation that is invincible. 1t is almost
certain that the platform will mot
only reaffirm the declarations of the
Chicago platform but will take ad-
yanced ground upon the question of
trusts which includes railroads and
the new money trust made possible
by the currency law. In these par
tlculars the platform must be more
popullstlc, SO much SO that it will not
require any sacratice of party pride
to nominate upon it the candidates of
the Populists. Bryan and Towne can
command the support of every man
who voted for Bryan in 1896 and
thousands more who are disguised
with the un-American policies of Nc
kinley and the fraud and corruption
which has followed their operation.
II the democrats are wise they win
name Bryan and Towne.-Burlingto

ton Is that OF the National City bank
of New York City. This bank. domi-
mated by the Standard Oil trust, was
enabled. through Secretary Gage and
a potent political pull. to invade the
United States treasury. This scandal
furnished the democratic party with
much campaign material and threaten
ed for a time to disrupt the republican
party.
The National City bank was selected
by Secretary Gage, with the full ap-
proval OF President Mckinley. as the
distributing agent for all the internal
revenue funds OF the government dur
ing the financial crisis of last Decem-
ber. BY this favoritism 1t Is estimated
that In a few months the bank cleared
about 81, 500. 900.
The cause of the favoritism shown

istration was shown in a letter from
the banks vice president. A. P. Hep

thus:
"Of course the bank Is very strong.
and If you will take the pains to look
at our list OF directors you will see
that we also have very great political
claims, IN view or what was done dur
ing the canvass last year"
In one year the government deposits
In this bank jumped from $1,000 to
$19, SIS. .421.
The business of the bank has con-
stantly grown since the list of direc-
tors was looked over by Secretary
Gage. Mr.. Gage was the personal

went before the committee on COM
merce and assisted Wimberley and De-

the appointments were confirmed.
How the Administration
Aided the Armor Trust.
President Mckinley, through his po-
litical manager. Senator Hanna, in
dorsed the grab of the armor plate
trust, which was agreed to by congress
just before adjournment. All during
the session the strongest lobby Wash
ington has seen for years has been
maintained by the armoE plate inter-
ests. The shipbuilding lobby and the
lobby working for the shipping subsidy
bill were also instructed to work for
armor plate. The democrats attempted
to lower the rate by threat to build
government armor plate factory. The
house refused to consider such propo-
sition and it was introduced in the
senate. Here 1t was fought by the
administration men. When the bill
went into conference there were days
Of wranglng with the senate steadfast
for cheaper armor or the building Of a
government factory. As adjournment
approached the lobby became more In
siStent.
After missionary work done by SEN
ator Hanna and republican leaders 1t
was finally decided to leave to the dis
cretion of the secretary Of the navy
the price to be paid for armor. Under
the new law he is authorized to pur-
chase armor at a ''just and reasonable
price," and to contract for as many
thousand tons as he desires.
No limit Is fixed. If the secretary
does not believe the price asked by the
trust Is reasonable, he can use 4.000, 900
which has keen placed at his disposal
to build government factory.
On the night the armor plate section
was adopted the lobby held a celebra-
ton at Chamberlain's that Is still the

sion.
The scandal caused by the activity Of
Abner Mckinley finally became SO
great that Senator Hanna called the
attention of both brothers to the In
jury being done to the republican par
ty. Indeed, certain members of the
republican national committee spent
much time and money in gathering ev-
idence regarding the operations of Alb
ner, with the view of having II given to
newspaper, the intention being to
open the presidents eyes to the dam:
age being wrought by his brother But
when the work of collecting this data
was about completed the war ended
and Abner ceased to be the important
factor he was during the contract let
ting days. The necessity for publica-
tion thus being obviated, the facts were
suppressed
One of the earliest scandals of this
administration was the appointment of
certain notorious men to public offices
in New Orleans to pay the ante-con-
vention obligations of Senator Hanna
Louisiana was favorable to the candi-
dacy of Speaker Reed for president.
Wimberley, Demas and their associ-
ates came to Washington and demand
ed their pay. Great pressure was
brought to bear upon the president to
prevent their selection. Petitions were
presented by the women of New Or
leans to Mrs Gage urging her to have
the secretary assist in defeating the
Wimberley gang.
Mr.. Gage openly declared that the
appointments should not be made.
Delegations Of prominent men from
all sections of Louisiana came to pro-
test against the appointments The no.
torious records of the aspirants were
presented to the public throughout the
world, but Senator Hanna commanded
and Mr.. Mckinley obeyed.
y The nominations were sent to the
senate.

confirmation. Mr.. Hanna was faithful

sold at small percentage of their cost.
Owners, agents. attorneys and all sorts
of middlemen realized vast profits from
the sale of the vessels to the navy de-
partment. Prominent politicians lob

their value. reaping small fortunes in
the way Of commissions. The excuse
given for these expenditures was the
necessity of forming a mosquito fleet"

Of the recklessness which obtained the
old and practically worthless Merrimac

to be of no utility in the service, and

the egress Of the Spanish fleet. The
yacht Comanche. the property of Sem
ator Hanna's brother, was sold to the
government at a high figure.
While the purchase of these vessels
was made public, the sums obtained in
disposing of them have in only few
instances come to the surface.

the administration to the beef trust will
not soon be forgotten Nothing which
occurred during the war with Spain
aroused the public to a higher pitch of
indignation than the feeding of rotten
beef to the army in Cuba.
Beef contractors reaped rich haryests
while soldiers by the hundreds were
going into hospitals from eating this
meat upon which they were Obliged To
subsist.
Desperate efforts have been made by
the administration to suppress the en-

The Fredonia Citizen is a strong
supporter of the penitentiary binding
twlne plant in spite of the paternal-
istic of such support. The Citizen al
SO publishes approvingly a Kansas
City Journal special which says that
the binding twine plant will save the
farmers OF Kansas at least $2Q0, 900
this year. Just think of it. If a little
common sense aud fairness will save
the farmers of Kansas $500, 900 in one
year what would complete relief from
trusts save the farmers and all others
in the United States for. one year?
There is no relief except government
ownership. The Citizen has claimed
that the trusts would prove to be
their own remedy and fall of their
own weight, and now we would like
to know why the binding twine trust
had to be set down upon? We don't
claim to know where government
ownership will end when it once gets

but we are willing to risk it as we
are confident nothing but good can

issues than the ones that are being

The graduates of the University of
Kansas who are now engaged in teach
ing have recently been requested to
furnish information concerning their
present positions, and the results OBJ
tanned will prove both interesting and
gratifying to the friends of the insti-
tuition. 1t has been found that a very
large percentage of the graduates en-
ter the profession of teaching, at least
for time after leaving the Universi-
ty. The measure of success attained
by them in this calling is an evidence
of the value of thorough University
training as preparation for teach
ing. The positions held are almost
wholly confined to high schools, city
superintendicies, and college profes-
sorships, very few of the graduates
having engaged in grammar school
work. The salaries received vary from
$50 month for inexperienced teach
ers to $4,000 a year in the higher po-
sitions. On the whole, the rate of ad-
vancement and the success attained are
proportionate to the length of time
spent in special preparation, those who
have pursued postgraduate studies
being found in the best places.-La
