CASUAL OBSERVATIONS.

(From MT. Dooley's Philosophy, Copyrigh,
 by K. H. Russell. New York)
 If ye live enough byfure 30 ye won't care to live at all afther 50.
 To most people savage nation is wan that doesn't wear oncomf' 'rtable clothes.
 As Shakespeare says, be thrue to ye'erself an ye will thin be false to ivry man.
 All tn wurruld loves a lover-excipt sometimes tn wan that's all th' wur- ruld to him.
 If ye dhrink befure sivin yell cry be- fure iliven.
 Ivry man has his superstitions. If I look at a new moon over me shoulder get crick in me neck.

cies are welcome by any means, but Massachusetts, owing to the so-calL.d anti-imperialist sentiment of it's vat CTS, cut down McKinley's plurality of 1896 by 100000 votes. In New York. a state of immense commercial and 7n- dustrial interests, his plurality was fairly cut in two, though the popular uprising against Croker and Croker- ism largely offset tle effort of Croker to assist Bryan.
 There is in all this a lesson which Mir. Mckinley will do well to heed. lie is not in himself a strong man; he is the medium through which strong forces operate. His nature is plastic, his habit is to yield, and his will power is negligible quantity. As one result of his pliancy and opportunism we have now to deal with a problem resulting from the lack of a settled and enlight- ened policy in the Philippines. As an other result we are face to face with the serious problem involved in the steady growth of certain tendencies looking to the centralization of wealth by improper means and for improper purposes. Up to the present time this administration has shown no well-de- fined perception of it's duty in the mat ter of the trust problem, and still less has 1t shown any purpose to take any effective action thereon. The trusts which hold no special privileges and which are not oppressive and the trusts which owe their very existence to fa- voritism and bad legislation have all been grouped in the same class and treated with uniformly tender regard by the obhging administration. Those measures of publicity, of tariff reform and of reform in discrimin ation in rail way rates which should divide the two classes, leaving unharmed the benefi- cial combinations which rest on su- perior products and low prices to con sumers and curbing those which are harmful, seemed to have formed no part of the administration pro- gramme.
 Mir. Mckinley has yet to make him. self known as an earnest friend of measures beneficial to the great mass If the people as distinguished from the interests of the few who have power and infiuence.-Chicago Record (Ind.).

AS TO M'KINLEY'S SUCCESS.
Reelection Does Not Signify Full and Free Endorsement by
 the People.

Reelection to the presidency is natur- ally accepted by the fortunate candi- date at it's face value as a personal compliment and a proof of approba- ton. The larger the vote the more fattering is the commendation sup posed to be. Yet the approval may be qualified; the election may contain also a lesson and warning. It is the weakness of human nature that, where as a reelected president should return 10 power with a heightened sense of his responsibilities, a deeper apprecia- tion of the obligations imposed upon him by this added evidence of popular trust, he may in reality accept it conn placently as a sign that he has been wholly admirable in the past and will be well-nigh infallible in the future. Ordinarily it is only the defeated can didate who with humility and self searching seeks to find wherein he is prone to error.
 William Mckinley will enter upon his second term as the result of a vote which leaves no possible doubt as to the popular preference for him as against his leading opponent. Yet in his reduced pluralities in certain states. where his attitude on the money issue should have swelled his vote he will find reason for serious thought Massa- chusetts, for instance, is not state where Mr. Bryan's populst tenden-

SOME NOTED PEOPLE.

Admiral Sir Edward Seymour is a most accomplished inguist. As q boy he learned languages simply for amuse- ment.
 Lord Salisbury, in speaking of the social side of English political life, said recently that there is really little of it. He has never so much as spoken with John Morley and never even saw MT. Parnell.
 The castle offered to ex-President Kruger by NJ. Oswald d'Aumerie is sit uated at Anderlecht, a suburb of Brus- sels. It was built by the monks three centuries ago, and used as a convent. In 1S40 it belonged to the burgomaster of Anderlecht. who had the honor of en- tertaining within it's walls Leopold l. Lately it has been restored to its former splendor with all modern improve ments. It is surrounded by splendid park.
 Francis Parkman, the historian, had a keen sense of justice. A friend met him walking one day along the street, leading two street boys. He had firm grip on their coat collars. What in the world are you doing, Parkman? p asked his friend. ''I found that Johnny here had eaten all the apple instead ot dividing with his little brother. I an going to buy another for the younger boy and make Johnny watch him while he eats it."

DEMOCRACY'S FUTURE.
The Party Will Always Combat Impe riaIism and the Work Against
 the Trusts.

twill the democratic party" asks g New York paper, now be restored to the control of it's reason and it's con- science, and furnish once more a real opposition?" Much depen $ upon what is meant by tits reason and it's con- science" If reason" and conscience" mean complete acquiescence in impe- rialism, militarism and the unre- strained reign of industrial monopoly, then the democratic party as a whole will probably never return to the con- trol of its reason" and it's "con- science" Part of it may return, but not all ef it.
 The future of the democratic party, it seems, is already the theme of spec ulation. No one can pretend to fore cast its development. There are many and varied possibilities. The parallel of the liberal party in Great Britain would indicate that, with the imperial istic spirit unchecked, the democratic party may break into fragments. There are signs of this already. The gold democrats contain large pro- portion of the imperialists, while the south, solid enough, may contain alto gether too much genuine imperialistic spirit and too much native contempt for inferior races to be kept long in support of an anti-imperialistic pro- gramme.
 Or, take the question of plutocracy,

THE WHEELS OF TRAFFIC.

Two thousand tons of American steel rails are being sent to Italy foI use on the railways.
 The English staff system of dis patching trains has been put in force upon the single bridge now being used by all the lines entering Calves. ton, Tex, in order to expedite the traffic.

 Thirty new freight engines are ts be put on the tracks of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy railroad next March. The engines will differ from the average freight train puller in having wider and shorter fireboxes The weight of each engine on its driy- CTS will be 10000 pounds.
 Paul Storitzky, of the Moscow To- comotive works, who is making an in. spection of locomotive works in this country, says: There are six or eight locomotive factories in Russia. one of the largest being located at Kolomna, not far from Moscow. I am satisfied, however, that for all general purposes the machines made in this country are superior for the Russian service"

one of the greatest of the future. Will the old democratic party ever again form a compact organization on that issue? Is it possible for the democracy of Whitney. German, Fairchild and Charles k. Flint ever to harmonize again with that of Mir. Bryan and Sen ator Tillman, so long as industrial mo- nopoly and the growth of the class spirit continue in America?
 Some people are asking what will now become of MT. Bryan? As a ques- tion of politics, that has very slight relative importance. The real ques- tion is whether the fundamental issues which formed the heart and soul of the democratic campaign this year have been settled forever in this country by the republican majorities. Upon the survival of those issues in the minds of great masses of Americans will de- pend the character of the future devel- opment of the democratic party. Only one thing seems fairly sure. An effort to make the party conform to the impe- rialism, militarism and unrestrained monopolistic spirit of some of it's for mer leaders and adherents would rend it again, and probably increase amaz- ingly the political power of socialism in the United States.-Springfiel (Mass.) Republican.

Now let the republican government start in to make it's prom ises good, put our industries on the high grade of prosperity and keep them there. And the start should be made without delay. Our workingmen are beginning to realize the hard fact that their wages have not risen to meet the increased cost of living under the re- publican policy of war taxes in time of peace.
