Painter & Bro, at Thornton, was
robbed one night recently by four
men. Mr.. w. J. Painter was sleep
ing in room adjoining the store.
He did not hear them enter nor awake
until they had entered his room
covered his eyes with a bandage and
were strapping him to the bed. After
securing him they drilled a hole in
the safe and blew the door off with
dynamite. They secured about s2O
in money out of the safe, Mr.. Painters
watch valued at $65, and about sec
of the postal funds from the postoffice,
which were in the store. The gang
then departed, leaving Mr.. Painter
bound to the bed. He succeeded
after some time in freeing himself
from his bonds and gave the alarm
but no trace of the burglars could be

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. -, 1900.
President Mckinley is sill receiving
congratulations on one of the most
remarkable endorsements ever given
a President by the American people
and is compelled to hold an almost
continual levee during office hours.
He does not regard the result as so
much a personal and party triumph
as it was a triumph of right over
wrong, and as involving new response
bility for himself and the Republican
majority in Congress, in order that
the people may see that their conf
dence and endorsement was deserved.
He has succeeded in conducting his
first administration up to the time
through some very trying circum-
stances without making a single mis-
take of Importance and he purposes
to do to his utmost to continue that
good record through his second ad-
ministration, and if the same careful
consideration, Difference to the opin-
ions of the party leaders and patriot
ism which has guided his every act
since he became President will make
success, he will achieve it. He will
do his best, which is all that any man
can do, and all that the patriotic peo-
pie expect of any man.
Washington is full of the usual af-
ter-the-election gossip about the
makeup of the next Cabinet, but the
subject has really not been consider.
ed by those most interested for the
very good reason that they have not
had time to do SO and that there is no
occasion for hurry. The President is
very we'll satisfied with his present
Cabinet, and if nothing were to be
considered but his own wishes, there
would be no changes. But it is well
known that majority of the present
Cabinet hold their positions not be-
cause they sought them, but because
the President desired their assistance
in making his administration a sue
cess, and probable that at least three
of them, possibly more, will ask to be
allowed to retire at the close of the
present administration. 1t is no hol-
iday job to properly perform the du-
ties of member of the Cabinet and
it is not surprising that men having
the necessary knowledge and capacity
to make their services desirable as
such are not hankering after the
places.
Although Senator Hanna has not
yet named the Chairman of the Wash
ington Committee, which will make
the arrangements for and have charge
of the second Inauguration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the prominent men

party more frigbtful than any plat
form.
You can no more have a successful
nation with Jeffersons platitudes
than you can carry out the beatitudes
of the Apostles and sell all that you
have to him of 16 to and give to the
poor. The Democratic party was only
preserved by slavery, and has won
no victory since without Republican
stragglers. Bryan was perpetually
quoting jefferson, and would feel
more secure under Bryan than Jeffer-
son. The former-named did put on a
uniform. He did discover Lincoln.
The principles of Washington, the
economics of Hamilton, the humanity
of Lincoln are growing into the great

Biggest Lie Yet.

The horrible news comes from Ar
kansas that a boy climbed cornstalk
to see how the corn was getting along,
and now the stalk is growing up fast
er than the boy can climb down. The
boy is plum out of sight. Three men
have undertaken to cut down the
stalk with axes and save the boy
from starvation but it grows so fast
they can't hack twice in the same
place. The poor boy is living on
nothing but the raw corn and he has
already thrown down over four bush

discussing ways and means of making
/ the event memorable. The tenor OF
public sentiment in Washington was
reflected by Mr.. L. II. Michener, Gen.
w. w. Dudley's law partner, when
he said of next Inauguration day:
we can lavish upon that occasion will
not be too much. 1t will be the first
Inauguration of new century, and
will mark victory no less impressive
| or important than that of the second
election of Lincoln. We should strive
to excel in the glory of that day the
splendor of the jubilee of England s
Queen. We should show that there
is nothing mean or cheap about a re-
public and that even the oldest and
greatest of monarchies cannot outdo
us in doing honor to the institutions
and history of our nation" With
this spirit prevailing, President Nc
Kinley's second Inauguration cannot
fail to be one of the most imposing
and magnificent events in our history
Chairman Payne, of the House
Ways and Means Committee, who is
already in Washington, has called a
meeting of that committee for next
Monday to consider a bill for the re-
vision of the internal revenue tax
laws. President Mckinley is anxious
that some reduction may be made in
this class of taxation at the coming
session of Congress, ard it is to decide
how much reduction can be safely
made that the Committee will meet
in advance of Congress.
Those who believe the Democratic
campaign charges that the Chinese
policy of President Mckinley was ar
ranged solely for campaign use, and
that there would be change immed-
lately following the election have a
disappointment coming to them.
There will be no change in the Chin
ese policy for the simple reason that
it has been from the beginning on all
fours with American common sense.
The whole matter was gone carefully
over at the last Cabinet meeting, and
it was the unanimous opinion that
not single thing had been done
since the announcement to the pow
ers, on July 8, of the policy of this
government in and toward China
that would be changed in even the
slightest manner if the whole affair
had to be gone over again. This a
proud showing for any administra-
tion to have made at any time, but
all the more credit is attached to the
President and his advisers, that they
can make it at the close of a heated
national campaign.
The yellow press is disposed to
make quite mares nest out of the
cable news from Madrid that this
government had agreed to pay Spain
! 100000 for three islands, adjacent TO
the Philippines, subject to the ratifi-
cation of the treaty providing there
for by the Senate, and some cock and
bull stories about the regret of Secre-
tary Hay at the giving out of the
news in Madrid have been printed.
To get down to cold facts the matter
is not news at all, as it was fully pub
lished some months ago, that rather
than have long diplomatic wrangle
with Spain over her claim of SOW
ereignty of these islands, because they
were outside of the geographical linn
it's named in the treaty ceding the
Philippines to the United States, this
country had agreed to pay Spain
100000 for them.

This aoveEnment,s Attitude.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Ths ca
blegram from the American Association
has been received at the state depart
ment. 1t has not yet been acted upon,
but is under serious consideration. At
first reading 1t Is not clear just what
connection exists between the attitude
OF the Chinese empress dowager to-
wards the reform element in China, and
the open door, policy in which the
United States with the remainder of the
civilized world is interested. 1t is re-
called, however, that the empress dow
ager is prosecuting with relentless
hatred the reform party, going so far
as to resort to the barbarous practice
OF offering a large sum OF money for
the assassination of leading reformers.
This reform element in China is believed
to include nearly all Of the Chinese who
are disposed to elevate China into q
civilized nation, following In the foot
steps Of japan. They realize that this
can only be done with the help Of for
eigners and arc therefore disposed to
the open door" as one Of the measures
to lIberalIze and enllghten China
through the Introduction OF foreign
capital and foreign methods, It Is as
sumed that the basis Of this Representa-
tion from the American Association Is
an apprehension that the conservative
party surrounding the empress dowa-
