THE GREAIPRESiDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN OF 1000.

The wars OF America have. heretofore.
settled affairs Of state. Great questions of
policy, Of national motives and national
conclusions have been answered as soon as
the battle smoke cleared away, and the
victor realized his victory. The war with
Spain is unlike its predecessors. 1t has
not answered questions. but has created
problems which may not be solved lightly.
These problems are being formulated by
the political parties. and before they can
be definitely settled at the ballot box it is
necessary that the people be informed in
regard to the situation. The result Of the
campaign of 1900 will make broad mark
upon the page of history: it will doubtless
establish the policy of the great Republic
America for a quarter of century. 1t is
vastly important, therefore. that every
citizen shall study the situation through
that best Of mediums. great newspaper.
The most reliable newspaper, the best
newspaper, is the SemiWeekly Republic.
which affords comprehensive view of the
political situation in all its bearings. 1t
publishes the new news. The Serl>Week-
ly Republic is a Democratic paper. but it
offers to its readers the news regarding all
the political parties, and this without pre-
judice. 1t is fair newspaper. Its tele-
graph and cable news service has been
proved to be the best employed by a
modern paper. Its special features are
unsurpassed. 1t is the newspaper for the
reader who has not access to daily paper
News features, art and literature COM
bine to make The Republics Sunday Ma
gazine specially attractive weekly maga-
zine. The half-tone illustrations printed
in this magazine surpass anything ever
attempted by newspaper. These pro-
ducts of photography are worth the price
of the paper. Special articles by trained
writers on the news and the subjects en-
gaging the public attention are prepared
for The Republics Sunday Magazine.
A distinctly useful and attractive feature
of this magazine is the fashion depart
| ment. Always reliable and up with the
times. the ladies find the fashion page a
delight. Indeed, The Republics Sunday
Magazine appeals to every member of the
family.
The subscription price Of the Semi
Weekly Republic is 81 90 per year. The
Republic Sunday Magazine s1.25 per year.
Both papers are now being offered at the
very low price of 81. 50 for one year. To
secure this low rate both must be ordered

Some Bryanite Bourbontsm.

The extent to which Bryan is in
ignorance. of the drift of public
sentiment throughout the country
is shown in his assertion in Boston
that he believes in the campaign of
1900 the three elements which sup
ported him in 1S96-Democrats,
Populists and silver Republicans
will be for him again, and that be
will gain Il large accession of voters
on the trust and expansion issues.
imperialism and the trust cues
tion are going to reinforce the
silverite elements of 1896, and
make the Bryanite cause triumph
ant this year. This is the reason
ing of that causes spokesman and
candidate.
1t is evident that Bryan has not
heard of his old friend Boies re-
Gently, who has turned against sill
verisln, and declares that another
campaign on the issue and with
the candidate of 1896 would bring
even greater disaster to the Dem
ocracy than was brought then. HI
seems to be ignorant, too, of t,t
whereabouts of his old friend Sib
ley, of Pennsylvania, who has al
so dropped reputation and come
over to the honest money side
Moreover. lie seems to be in ignor
auce likewise Of the swing back
ward toward the Republican party
which Colorado, the State of hi:

Several years ago young man,
named Harry Hawes, came to
Missouri from Kentucky and To-
Gated in the city of St. Lonis. Once
in the State he promptly entered
politics and soon became promi'
nent in Democratic party plots.
His mission, according to his own
statement, was to teach Missouri
Democrats to run things on the
Kentucky plan. That he has been
a successful tutor Of the faithful
here was demonstrated by the ac-
ton of the last session of the Leg
islature. which passed partisan
election law turning the election
machinery of the cities of St. Louis
and Kansas City into Democratic
hands. Following up this success.
Hawes next 2ave his attention to
the police forces of these two cities
and has reorganized them upon a
thorough Democratic basis. Next
he will, undoubtedly, give his
attention to having the elections in
the counties of the State controlled
by Democrats only. Mr.. Hawes
has recognized in time the fact that
the Democratic party is rapidly
losing ground in Missouri, but he
is arranging matters SO that the
party will no longer be dependent
upon majority vote to enable it
to retain its hold upon the State
government.

In none of the states of the Union
where Republicans rule is there
any complaint by the opposing
parties that they are not given
equal rights at tho ballot box. is
it not, therefore, somewhat signi-
ficaut that we only hear of such
complaints coming from Dem
ocratic states. Our Democratic
exchanges who are SO fond Of re-
fcrring to the declaration of inde-
pendencc and the constitution
should go over those estiusable
documents again and endeavor to
reach their true meaning, that this
is intended to be government OF
the people and not government
to rcprcss the rights Of the
people.

Political Drift.

When a Democratic candidate
asks you to vote for him just for
friendship, you should remind him
that if he wants your vote he
should get on your ticket.-Fulton
Journal.
1t keeps e Popocratic editor
moderately busy to write with one
hand of the starving masses under
the Mckinley administration, and
with the other of the overfowing
State treasury--Lebanon Republi-
can.
A calamity bowling newspaper
says money Is piling up in the
banks and that in order to get it a
man has to give its value it return.
That's very sad. How the man
was to get it in any other way
would be puzzle to almost any
body, unless he was Jesse
James. Republican.
1t appears that Mr.. Bryan will
not only be allowed to nominate
himself for the presidency, but be
accorded the unusual privilege of
naming his own running mate and
the city in which the convention is
to be heki. If there ever was a
case of onc-man control of a po-
litical party the country is certain
ly being treated to an exhibition of
that kind now in Colonel Bryan's
management Of the Democracy.
Bryan has consented to the tri-
umph of the flag. Finding the flag
moving in glory over the Philip
pines he gives the Democracy
leave to shrek their appreciation.
Once upon time Bryan was real
colonel. He bravely rallied with
his regiment as near Cuba as Flor
ida, endured the agonizing muzzle-
ing of his mouth a few weeks, and
then resigned. Now he consents
that the flag shall wave DER the
free and the home of the brave.

General Lee never asked for a
pardon. He surrendered his army
and himself at Appomattox, on the
9th of April, 1865, on parole, with
liberty to return home and not to
take up arms until duly exchanged.
General Lee lived under that pro-
vision, and, although there was talk
of arresting and bringing him to
Trial for treason, he was never inter
tered with. On July 4, 1868, Pres
idene Andrew johnson issued pro.
clamation giving amnesty and ex-
emption from prosecution for trea.
son to all Confederates not already
under indictment. This included
General Lee. On the 2sth of De
cember, of 1868, President Johnson
issued q proclamation of amnest,
and pardon. which included Presi
dent Davis and all other Confeder
ates then living. General Lee neve
asked for pardon or any other in
diligence at the hands of the Fed
eral Government, and, until HI
died, held himself ready to NEE
any fate that his leadership of tn
Southern armies might bring upol
him. He passed away on the 12tl

and most heroic characters eve
