We call attention to the announce,
nent Of DR.. II. X. Smith for Mayor OF
the city of Union in another column.
This announcement should have ap-
I.eared in last issue but the copy was in
advertcntly put on the wrong hook and
we did not discover the oversight until
the paper had gone through the press.

A Narrow Escape

Again the determined saloon-keepcrs,
who, have time and again been turned
down. as they deserved TO be, look adj
vantage OF the absence Of many menu
bers of council who were opposed to
licensing them. and last night again
presented themselves to council as APP
.plicants. Through the high-handed de-
cision OF the temporary chairman Of the
second branch. who disregurdad all
rules OF that body. their applications
were granted. Fortunately. however.
they struck against an obstacle, when
they reached the first braach.wl.ere the
whole proceedings were ruled out Of
order by the mayor. The public Is be-
coming very weary OF this insstence
on the part OF these discredite6 saloon
keepers. who are kept in hope by mems
bers of their calling who occupy seats
In council. 1t is 4 question whether this
class OF persons should be eligible to
election to council. 1t Is certainly q
serious reflection on the decency OF the
city that this element Is impertincntly
forcing council to do a thing 1t does not
want TO do, and which public sentiment
has distinctly condemned.

Nothing But Tommyrot.

OF all the freak planks In the Kansas
City freak platform the one denounclnG
the Porto Rico tariff bill is, perhaps,
the most freakish. The Democratic
party very seldom dcnounces anything
except pronounced successes, ana that
is the reason they delivered themselves
as follows on Porto Rico:
We denounce the Porto Rico law
enacted by q Republican Congress,
against the protest and opposition CT
the Democratic minority as bold and
open violation of the nations organic
laws and fragrant breach OF the ma
tlonai good faith. 1t imposes upon the
people OF Porto Rico government
without their consent and taxation
without representation. -. It doomed
TO poverty and distress 4 people wilose
helplessness appeals with peculiar force
TO our justice and magnani:nity.
This Is the worst kind of tommyrot
as the report of the Porto RIcan budget
for the fcal year Just begun will show.
+ According to that statement. the re-
.ceipts from the operation OF the low
tariff law are estimated at S2.Ol4,60S.
The expenditures will be $i,9Si,645. II
the receipts have not been ovcrasti-
mated the surplus at the end CT the ifs
cal year will be only s29, 900. II pro-
vision had not yet been made for the
raising OF the money for the maintaa-
ance OF the government and other ne
cessary expenditures in Porto Rico.
nearly two millions of dollars would
have had to be taken out of the United
States treasury to meet those expenses.
The law passed by the Republican
Congress. and complained of by the
Democracy Is in no sense the outrage
that party would have the people OF the
country believe. 1t works no hardshlps
on the Porto Ricans. aud they have
made no complaint since the law be-
came operative. It has not doomed
them to distress and poverty" but, on
the contrary. has relieved them for thu
present Of the burden OF local taxation.

ernment: In any event, the Bryanites
begin by asserting the right OF tbs
United States to determine the whole
question. II Mr.. Bryan were at this
moment President OF the republic, with
Congress as subservlent to him as the
Kansas City convention was, he could
not apply this policy Without doing
practically just what Mr.. Mckinley is
doing. And the differences between him
and Mr.. Mckinley in this mater is he
gravely asks the people OF the country
to decide as the paramount Issue OF
the campaign. Amure absurd and
dimsy proposition never was made to a
people supposed to be governed by the
dictates of ordinary Intelligence.
There are other things in Mr.. Bry-
ans platform that will repay attention
from time to time. At present it is
sufficient to note that the issue declared
to be paramount Is withou. substance
or presidency. and that the issue which
engages his profoundest interest, on the
distinct presentation OF which he staked
his acceptance OF the nomination, and
as to which we most surely know the
course he would follow II elected. is
that Of free silver.

Democracy's Definition.

There can scarcely be 4 sound-mIndeI
man in this country who honestly
thinks that such a thing as 'imperial-
ism could ever be introduced in this
nation. Nor Is there 4 sensible man
who takes any stock In the nutterings
OF the bird that claims 1t Is being lullad
into a false security by the snake that
the Democracy claims is co!lad to strike
at the integrity OF the republic. Even
the Democratic platform contradicts
itself In defining the issue which they
assert they will make paramount in the
coming campaign. The New York
Times makes fne dissection OF the de-
nn!tion OF imperialism" given by thn
Kansas City convention. 1t says: 81;
Tn the first place. Il rather thiniy
drawn distinction is attempted be-
tween imperialism TO which the party
Is opposed, and expansion which IS
favored The convention says: We
favor expansion by every peaceful ana
legitimate means. but we are lmalter-
ably opposed to the seizIng or purchas-
ing of distant Islands to be governed

Will be the most largely attended gath

state. The outpouring OF the Republic
cans shows that the people are In great

ton means much to the party. as It is
the first one that has met with the or

Hon. A. B. White having no opposi-
ton for the nomination for governor
will, OF course, be acclaimed unnni-
mously for that honorable position. The
contest for the authorship is quite i
different matter, with many candidates
in the field seeking the favor of the con-
ventlon. While there are number OF
candidates for the remaining places on
the ticket their selection largely de-
ponds on the outcome OF the fight for
the authorship. In all these contests the
1ntelIigencer confidently believes. they
will be so conducted that the. defeated

"Adlai the Amman"

E. One Of the grim humors OF the Kan
sas City convention was the speech OF
one OF the delegates who seconded the
nomination OF Adlai Stevenson for the
vice presidency. who referred to the
brilliant war record OF the assistant
postmaster general under Cleveland's
last administration. 1t was an unfor-
tunate blLnder for the delegate who
attempted to throw in few pictur-
esque chunks OF oratory about his
.valor on the field Of carnage" stev-
enson was never in the army. but he
has been called General" the title be-
Ing an abbrev!ation OF assistant post
master general. But the delegates re-
ference to Stevenson's war record re-
calls very painful rsmtniscence OF his
career. He was old enough TO &c 10 the
war. but like other copperheads Of his
time. remained at home and fought his
government as n member of that Infam-
GUS band OF Confederate sympathizcrs
known as the knights of the Golden
Circle" One can respect the Confeder-
ate soldier who fought openly: but not
' the coward and sneak who remained
under the protection OF the government
he sought by secret and insilious
means to destroy. That Is Mr.. Steven
sons war record. and that is the
amount OF valor he displayed ION the
field OF carnage"
But Mr.. Stevenson has several other
yariegated and undesirable records. As
a public man he Is Identified with tho
two worst features OF our politics-Gat
money and the spells system. Twenty
Ave years ago he was elected to Con-
gress US Grecnbacker with Damo-
cratic support. At that time green
backlsm was at Its height. but about to
be replaced by silverism as the prevail
Ing political mania. Since that time
Mr.. Stevenson has not taken much part
In public discussion. bu, there Is no
reason to suppose that his opinions
have undergone any change. 1t, Is sara
to assume that he concurs heartily In
the proposition OF the Kansas City plat
form that legal tender not.s should b.
issued TO replace the bank currency.
During Mr.. Clevelands first term ha
was first assistant postmaster general,
and became extremely popular with the
politicians OF his party by the rapill,y
with which he turned out Republican
postmasters and appointed Democrats.
Mr. Clcveland's nomination for tho
Presidency In 1892 was forced by The
public sentiment OF his party upon the
unwilling politicians. Mr.. Stevenson
was nominated for vice president to
soothe the feelings Of tha politicians
