In the current number OF the North
American Review Mr. Andrew Carnegie
sets az rest the speculation o. 70 whether

much consequence which one be supports.

II often happens that men Of the promi-

They prefer to seek pleasure 10 foreign
lands 20 taking part la the public az

called that when few days ago Mr
Olney came 60 the from, with a long let
ter on the political situation. IL was as
serted and not denied that he had not
voted IN the last Ave or SIX years. Doubt
less there are many prominent men WHO
pretend 20 influence public opinion on pub
Dc affairs who do mo- take the trouble 10
qualify themselves 20 vote
The reason there was 20 much speeu-
lstion as to whether Mr.. Carnegie would
support Mr. Bryan or Mr. Mckinley. was
that he manifested the most vigorous op-
position 90 the Philippine policy Of the
Republican party. lie wrote articles, and
IN other ways attracted almost a. much
attention 20 himself In connection with
the Philippine matter as did Senator Hoar
Many people though, that nothing could
induce him to support Mr. Mckinley
According 90 his article IN the North
American Review. however he thinks the
best interests Of the country demand the
reelection Of Mr. Mckinley. He believes
that Mr.. McKinley's judgmont has been
right al along. but that he has been In
fluenced 70 take n wrong course by bad
men. men Of inferlcr statcmanship. He
probably has Mr.. Hanna IN mind He
declares that Mr.. Mckinley was right in

sionera 60 the Paris Peace Convention He
thinks II n had not been FOR the men on
whom he depended as advisers he would
have stood by his message In The case Of
Porto Rico and his instructions IN the
case % the Philippines.
The substance Of Mr.. Carnegie's article
Is. IN brief. that he thinks the best inter
ests OF the country demand the reelection
Of Mr. Mckinley Mr.. Bryan Is such
sincere man. according 90 his view, that
he would undertake TO force free silver on
the country WHITTIER 'ho people wanted 1t
or not.
May It not he that Mr. Carnegie has in
mind particularly the big contracts for
