ANYBODY BUT M'kIRLEY.
Cincinnati EnnrlIrer- ,

(Clnc1nnatl Enquirer.)
New York;. L. Godkin is out in a
fierce attack on President Mckinley,
asserting in a letter to the Evening
Post today that he has done everything
that might lead up to a coup d'etat'
On the question of a choice between
Mckinley and Bryan, Mr.. Godkin
sa-s:
consider any man who has rot
done these things as more fit for the
presidency than Mckinley, even if that
other man were considered capable of
doing Them
He goes on to say:
10 tel me that such a man as Nc
k1nIey is fit for the presidency because
ms non-election will cause a fall of
SIockSs strikes me as ridiculous This
might be considered a sufficient an
sWer for broker, but L hope for a
broker onl-.
Among free and seIf-respecting peo-
PIE 1t ought to excite a smile. 1t is the
OLD argument by which Napoleon III
JUSTIFIED his coup d'etat. What he said
was that he must be emperor. must
XIII those who opposed him and must
put an end to the republic or stocks
would fall heavily. That is exactly the
Mcklnley argument.
There is not one Unconstitutional
act committed by Mckinley, the omis-
sion OF which would have imperiIed the
happiness OF single American citi-
zen
If he had court martialed Otis and
Merritt, who have been abusing the
constitution and justifying his own vio-
iat1on of it, it would have secured US
the respect of foreign nations, and
continued the stability of our power,
without the loss of a single life.
THE permission accorded to his mill
ltary officers to oecry the form of gov
eminent 20 which they owe their exist
ence strikes me as one of the silliest
things in his career.
The proposal to give a man who is
elected to the highest office in the state
once in four years authority to decide
when he will obey the constitution and
when he will not; to annex provinces
when he Dleases by simple proclama-
Ilon and to make treaties of peace
through his creatures, seems to me one
OF the craziest propositions in his
torx.
ITO decide upon the propriety of this
one does not need to prefer either Nc
h1nley or Bryan Great nations do not
compose their state papers while hang
ing over a stock exchange ticker"
In another place Mr.. Godkin SAYS:
There is no denying that Mckinley
has committed class of faults un-
known TO former presidents.
He has disregarded the constitution
by annexing foreign provinces without
the authority of law
He has employed 65, 600 Americans
TO massacre foreigners who had done
him no injury and to destroy their
homes.
He has declared war, without notice
upon friendly people, to whom he had
first promised peace and cooperation
He has allowed his subordinate of
hcers to denounce the organic law
which created them as worn out and of
no effect
He has, in fact, done all the things
which usually Drecede a coup d'etat
whether Julius Caesar or Louis Ma
poleon, and, what is unheard of in his
tory, he has secured a congress in con-
nivance with him."

A POINT FOR THE WORKERS
Denver News.)


Western railroad men will be interested
| in the fact that the Chinese exclusion
! act expires May ;, 1902. If it is renewed
at all it must be renewed by the con-
gress elected this fall If it is to he
extended TO include japanese as well as
Chinese laborers it must be extended by
the congress elected this fall And what
ever congress does must be approved bv
the president elected this fall.
The first Chinese exclusion act was en-
acted May 6, 1882. On May 5, 1892, it was
renewed for period of ten years
In the treaty with China Dec S, 1894 it
was provided that if six months before the
expiration OF the ten-year term neither
government (the United States nor China0
shall give notice of its termination it will
remain in force for another ten wears
But the mere existence of the treaty
would have 30 force for the exclusion of
chinese laborers in the absence of legis-
stated, the exclusion act expires Nav 5
The railroad section men in California,
oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming
and western Colorado who have been re-
placed within the past two years by
japanese have ample appreciation of the
need, not merely of an extension of the
time of the Chinese exclusion act but of
an extension of its terms TO include Jap
The powerful corporation interests
which have been importing Japanese
ern states will bitterly oppose the 5sx
cluston of Japanese, if they do not in
Ueed, demand thaC chinese be admitted
when the present act expires
The Republican national platform and
President McKinley's acceptance careful
~ avoid reference TO the subject.
The Democratic national platform saws.
I'VE favor the continuance and strict en-
forcement of the Chinese exclusion law
and its application to the same classes
of all Asiatic races and Mr.. Bryan in
his acceptance specifically endorses the
plank. The Democratic platform also de-
clareS for the creation of a department of
labor: IN charge of a secretary with
seat in the cabinet, while the Republican
platform contains a plank which merely
pats labor on the back in general terms
The inroad of Japanese already has re-
placed a large number of Americans west
of the Rockies with Asiatic labor The
continuance of the Republican party in
power means a great influx of japanese,
and. very likely, the opening OF the door
to sWarruS of Chinese

TIRE REAL FIGHT ON BRYAN.

The Commercial Advertiser thinks
1T is a sorry humbug for Mr.. Bryan
TO assert in his letter of acceptance
'that co empower national banks to
issue circulating notes is to surren-
der to private corporations the control
of the volume of paper money" Then
the Advertiser explains that the to-
tai paper circulation in the United
States is 81, loo, GOO, 900; that in 1891
the national bank notes aggregated
only $168, 100000. In that the Ad-
vertiser practices upon the supposed
Ignorance Of the readers Tt knows
very well that Mr.. Cleveland favors
CALLING in all the greenbacks, calling
in all the treasury notes issued IN
der the Sherman law, and all the
silver certificates; that there is fav-
ored, too, by majority of the New
York banks, for the purpose of hav-
ing more bonds issued, and permit
ting the national banks to issue the
paper money needed by the country.
They want the rule established that
governs in Germany, to increase and
then to call in their paper money, ac-
cording to the needs of %he country.
and the fight on Mr.. Bryan is not
half so much because of his belief in
silver, as in the determination which
they see on his part to limit the
power Of the national banks.-SaIt

mysterious voice, said that he would
make plain his position in Forthcoming

Admiral o Neil made the statement that
perhaps after all the contract for making
armor plate might not be let by the bid
ding process, for it had been discovered
that possibly the government could make
peter terms by having conference with
one or more of the large manufacturers,

circumstances.

Thy world is ours. Thy song Troy town
Built, burned; and then thy Tyre
Burst in a, blaze of fire

Fire burned high Troy; and beckoned men
From home; and from the skies

Yea, now as then.
Yea, now as then, the worlds desire,
Though hidden from US, still doth dwell
In Helen's heart of fire,
And breatheS upon thy Tyre
Her mighty spell.
Against new gods We wage our wars,
New cities build or burn with fire;
And still. beneath the stars,
We beat against the bars
OF blind desire.
Our world is thine New wars we wage,
Under old skies Our richest wine

And as we read we wonder how
Thy blinded eyes discerned

Sang fate defied and mortals slain,
Upon that hOneyed tongue,
How sweet thy song, though sung

What fates thy heart hath not foretoldi
Breath thou the songs we bring;
Bees on thy mouth still cling,
