ley surrendered American territory in
Alaska to Great Britain and denied
the right of American miners to pro-

Enemy of Labor.
At the request of the Standard Oil
trust President Mckinley sent it's
regular army into Idaho to shoot down
and imprison miners who had rebelled
against Standard oil tyranny in Occur
d. Alene. These men were thrown
into stockade and kept there with
out right of trial until many Of them
became raving maniacs. These facts
are part of current history.

pliced Gen. Miles incommunicado and

Shafter, who rode to battle in a lit
ter and who wanted to surrender when
the first shot was fired.
Crooked All Through.
Mr.. Mckinley was a free silver man
in 1898, bi-metallist in 1896 and
single gold standard advocate in 1898.
He was champion of civil service in
1896, and two years later he discharged
5000 civil service appointees to make
place for political pets of Hanna and
Plat.
Through his pro-British secretary of
state he entered into a treaty with
Great Britain whereby the American
people were to dig Nicaragnan canal
and leave it defenseless to be used at
I! pleasure by John Bull
He permitted the opening of special
mail matter to our consul at Pre-
toria by British agents and called our
consul home because that official COM
planned.
He makes constant declaration that
the institutions of this country are
in the hands of providence and then
demands large standing army, as if
providence were not equal to the task.
Behold the Man of Destiny.
Secretary Root in recent speech
in New York said:
ooh for one hour of Grant,
Why Grant. if Mckinley is such a
Napoleon?
Why Grant, when the man of des-
tiny and of providence. is at the
helm?
Look at the man! He has been on
every side of every question-always
landing on the side opposed to the
people. on the side Of oppression, on
the side of national shame.

WANTS A MONARCHY
Mckinley Organ in Iowa Voices the
Real Sentiments of the
Republican Party.
CONSTITUTION IS OBSOLETE.

The following article is from the
Des Moines Qa.) Globe, Republican
farmers paper. 1t voices in plain Ian
guage the spirit of Mckinley RepuD-
licanism. What the Globe frankly
speaks the imperialist secretly thinks.
It is brutally plain, and for this rea-
son Republican organs have affected
to discredit its sentiments; but it
speaks out of the fullness of heart
saturated with Hamiltonianism, which
is the inspiration of President McKin-
ley; and there is in it that touch Of
sincerity that gives it weight as an ut
terance, little rash perhaps and pos
sibly a little premature, but significant
of me trend of modern Republicanism.
The article deserves the very widest
publicity as showing the direction of
the Mckinley drift:
For a long time thinking people
who have large commercial interests
have felt unsafe with our present form
OF government from the fact that we
are controlled by the little cheap

We believe that there is not single

President Mckinley paid Spain $780,

succeeded in filling graves, hospitals,

He has appointed more commissions

Some Historical Parallels Be-
tween Jefferson and
Bryan.

First hear now Mr.. Henry Adams
summing up Of the Trades against
Jefferson by the Federalists of New
England and New York in 1900:
Every dissolute intriguer, loose-liver,
forger. false-coiner, and prison-bird;
every hair-brained, loud-ta,'1ing dem
agogue; every Spectator, scoffer and
atheist. was a follower of Jefferson;
and Jefferson was himself the incarna-
ton of their theories"

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAYS OF THE
FOLLOWERS OF JEFFERSON

"Study the Kansas City platform
and you cannot help realizing that
their policy is the policy of infamy,
that their triumph would mean misery
so widespread that it is almost UNI
thinkable and disgrace so lasting
that more than generation would
have to pass before it could be wiped
out
"They stand for lawlessness and dis
order, for dishonesty and dishonor, for
license and disaster at home and cow

WHAT HISTORIANS SAY OF JEFFEB
SONS ADMINISTRATIONS.

And what followed all this hysteria
and malice, invocation of dread spec
tres and prediction of the mob? What
was the sequel? can administration"
as Schouler justly describes it, peace
full, progressive and popular beyond all
precedent . especially strong and
successful just where the direst disas-
ter had been foreboded, in the man.
agement of the finances of the coun-
try. 'Tho policy of this remarkable
administration" writes this admirer
of Jefferson, was at once and steadily
successful in winning the people; and
the prestige of enthusiasm became ir-
yesistible when ccnjoined with the
prestige Of success. An executive,
neither the instrument of others nor
betrayer of trusts, we may regard
Jefferson as the genuine personator Of
that to which Frances First Consul
presented contemporaneously the
counterfeit,-a leader OF the common
people in the direction of their best
DESIRES"
This verdict is not simply that of
Jefferson's admirers. The historians
are harmonious. Mr.. Morse, in his
volume on Jefferson, in the American
series as whole, nor Mr.. Morse's vol
ume in particular, will ever be ac-
cused of making admiration of Jeffer-
son its forte-uses terms almost iden-
tical. Mr.. Schouler, in the passage
quoted, is writing of time midway
in Jefferson's second administration,
Just before the troubles with England.
Mr.. Morse is writing Of the close of
his first administration, when the
campaign for his reelection APP
preached. Everything, he says, ere
bounded to his good fame and popular
Ety." The nation felt Comfortable
and good natured amid the broad visi-
BILE facts of the passing time !.
Were not expenses curtailed and taxes
reduced, and debts being rapidly d.
minished? Had the country
been for many years past SO free from
irritation and anxiety growing out of
foreign affairs? Had political
kindness ever before permeated the
nation as it did today? Four years of
prosperity and tranquility left little
room for discomfort with the govern
ment. Amid such influences political
opposition pined and almost died"
Tho verdict OF history on the admins
eration of the latter day Jefferson,
William Jennings Bryan, who has been
more bitterly abused than even his great
prototype, will closely follow out the
parallel.

Bryan and the Income Tax

AT present the government can draft
) the citizen, but cannot draft the
pocketbook. Slowly but surely the
dollar Is being exalted and the man de-
based. Justice In taxation must be
restored.
The sentiment prevailing among
those who advocate an Income tax
just'fies the prediction that the Demo-
Gratis, POpulists aud Silver Republicans
will in their next campaign advocate
an amendment to the consultation
specifically authorizing an Income tax.
and no one who has faith In the final
triumph of every righteous cause will
doubt the ultimate success of the effort
! to make au Income tax n permanent
part of the revenue system of the fed
eral government. w. j. BRYAN.

Another smooth graft is being at
tempted on chiefs of police over the
country. 1t may be an old game in
some parts, but IN. this section it is
a new, one. Thes details of the
scheme, as attempted on Marshal
Gee, is substantially as follows:
A few days ago the Marshal re-
ceived long type written letter
from fellow who claimed to be a
detective in New Brunswick, Can
ada, telling him that certain. .valu-
able. documents had been stolen from
a client of his, and offering a re-
wasd of $200sfor the papers, and a
further $3.50 for the arrest of the
supposed thief. The detective went
on to say that 'probably'', the
papers would be expressed to one
81. E. Stone,,' supposed to be near
or. at Montpelier. The Marshal was
instructed to procure the papers, by
signing for them, and then keep a
close lookout for the thief. A large
number Of details were gone into as
to how the, papers were stolen, their
value, the reward, etc.
After reading the letter Mr.. Gee
tumbled that there was a scheme
behind the proposition, and he de-
termined to investigate. Going to
to the express Office he. found the
package awaiting 81. e Stones"
appearance. The agent informed
him that there was $2.15 express
due on the bundle, and G. o. u.
of IS, and by paying both Of these
amounts he could. get the parcel.
Then Bob seen. through the whole
business. The company would get
its pay, the sender get rs, and the
marshal lot Of worthless paper, if
he took up the package. Bob
further found out that the money
was to be sent to the name of
party living in a town in Name,
both being different fropl the name
and place mentioned in his letter.
The attempt at fraud didn't work
in this case, but it no doubt has in
many instances. The letter has
been placed where its sender never
intended it. should go, and he may
hear from it later on.

Matter to Come Up which viii Re.

Kentucky House.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 27-To-day a
vote will be taken in the house of rep
resentatives that is expected to fore
shadow with some accuracy the
strength that both sides will be able
to muster when the gubernatorial con-
test comes up. The vote will be on the
contest brought by Van Meter (dem.)
for the seat now held by Berry, both
being from Fayette county. Both the
democrats and the republicans claim
to have a majority on the impending
vote, and, while it will not of course
be in any way decisive, it will put
every man upon record, and the party
managers will know just who is for
them and who is against them. There
are 100 members of the house, and the
democrats claim with confidence that
of these they will have at least SO
votes, against AZ for the republicans.
Berry, the republican contestee, not
being able to vote, as the question is
some in which he is personally inter
oested. The republicans assert that
they are absolutely certain that the
vote will be at least 81 to As in their
favor, and are confident of receiving
several votes in addition to that esti-
mate.
Thecity was very quiet all day, there
not being the slightest sign of trouble.
There are still quite number of Wis
iting mountaineers in the city, but
they are making no noise.
