"Well," continued Mr.. Murphy. Its
been a nachur'l SUCCESSION OF ivints thot
has placed this administration in its
prissent position. The byes wor-rkin'
ON the job have been dom some dom
hard liftin', with no tonne to listen to
aunties, for the dodgin' of cannon balls.
Now, this here argyfyin's all right in
your front parlor, but it cuts no figure
with them Mouser bullets. Now, all
sensible Americans knows that the
United States means to do whot's right
by them Fillipeaners. Mr.. Mckinley
isn't goin' to steal anything from 'em.
Nobody's tryin' to cheat them out of a
cent. Whenever they quit their klclkin'
Wen treat 'em in SIGH a way they'll be
glad we licked 'em. l think IL some OF
thin fellers thot's agin ivrything would
go to Mainly and wur'rk on the job,
they'd find out thot, while's they's pick
in bullets out of their bareback. These
fellers thot's agin iyrythlng makes me
think OIL ship-wrecked sailor that was
jest like 'em in this respect. The ship
he was on went down, and he swan to
an island. A native came to help him
up the bank. Now this Teller was al
most drowned physically, but he was
still able to blow his bazoo. Got gov
eminent hereY he said. says he. to the
native. Yes, sor,' says the native.

"See here, Mr.. Murphy" said Simon,
ut is nearly time to retire. Our house
is rather limited, and guess you'd bet
ter go on and stay some other place.

New Michigan Factories.

There are In Michigan 1,005 factories
which were not in existence in 1897.
These factories employ $4,000 people,
whose yearly wages amount to about ST.
100000. OF these some had employment
in 1897, but many had not. The volume
Of idle labor has been SO decreased that
the lumbermen. though offering higher
wages than they did in 1896, find 1t hard
TO get men to work In their camps.

Bryan a False Prophet.

"rf Mckinley and the Republican par
ty are successful, and put in power for
the next four years, wages will be de-
creased, hard times will come upon us
and over the land the price Of wheat will
20 down and the price Of gold will go
up, mortgages on our homes will be fore
closed by the money lenders, shops and
factories will close. We will export no
goods and we will import from foreign
lands all the goods we use; thus will
ruin, want and misery be with us."-Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, 1896.

Employment Seeks Labor.

We have gone from Industrial depres-
sion to industrial activity. We have
gone from labor seeking employment to
employment seeking labor. We have
abundant and unquestionable currency

passed national credit-better than It has
ever been before In our history.-Presi-

LET THE PEOPLE ELECT.

For years there has been q growing SEN
tinent throughout the country in favor Of
the election of Senators by the people,
Now 1t is more pronounced than ever. -Four
of the States of the Union are TO day with
out full representation in the United states
Senate because Of the struggles of mean
and wealthy ambition In the Legislatures
where corrupt methods have become com
mon IN practice to control the choice OF the
members of the first legislative tribunal oil
the nation. In addition to the four vacant
seats, two admitted members of the Senate
are on trial before committees Of that body
charged with having obtained their com
missions fraudulently.
These scandals, connected with the choice
of United States Senators, are not Of recent
growth. There has not been period dur
ing the last half century that has been free
from grave charges of the corrupt control OF
Senatorial honnrs. and the tlne h. So71e
~ the Senate should, in justice to lie
own dignity, assent to the election Of United
States Senators by the people.
1t is entirely right that Senators should be
elected by the people, and such an amend
ment to the Constitution would eliminate
large measure Of corruption that now runs
riot in American politics. There is no pre-
tense of intelligent, conservative care In the
election OF Senators by Legislatures, and 1t
is q notorious fact that many Senators
have been elected by Legislature who
could not have been elected by popular
vote.
The Senate is rapidly becoming the rich
mans club OF the nation, and when 1t is re.
membered that II should be the most intelli-
gent and reliable check upon governmental
errors. The chief purpose of its creation is
entirely lost sight Of by men of fortune who
seek to control or climb to the highest leg
islative honors OF the republic. The people
are the sovereign power of State and nation,
and they should be empowered to choose
their United States Senators by popular
voia

A DAsTARDLY CRIME.

The great contest over the Governorship
of Kentucky, which has been in progress
for many weeks, eliminated on Tuesday In
the shooting OF William Goebel, the Demo
cratic candidate for the position. Taylor,
his Republican opponent, had been awarded
a certificate of election and been sworn In
as Governor. The matter was then referred
to the Legislature, now in session for final ad.
iustment, and q decision was expected with
in few hours. Excitement ran high, and
crowds were in attendance, including about
one thousand armed men from the mountain
counties, who had been there for several
DAYS in the interest Of Taylor, and were
stationed about the Executive Building.
A dispatch from Frankfort, dated Janu.
airy 80, gives the following account of the
disgraceful affair:
Mr.. Goebel left his hotel about II o'clock
this morning TO attend the meeting of the
Senate, which was 10 convene 10. day at 1880
o'clock. He was accompanied by Col.
Jack Chinn and Capt. Eph. Llllsrd. They
walked eisurely along, chatting about the
situation In the Legislature, and II took
them several minutes TO walk the two
squares to their destination. When they
reached the State House gate Lillard walk.
ed on ahead and was just going up the steps
of the Stale House proper by the time Goebel
had reached the stone fountain that was half
way between the yard gate and the State
House.
A few steps after passing the fountain
shot was fired and 1t struck Goebel. He
fell to the pavement wounded, and those
who witnessed the shooting thought he had
been instantly killed.
Alter a seconds pause three or four more
shots were fred 10 quick succession, but
none OF them hit Goebel or Col. Chinn, who
was standing at his right side.
Goebel raised upon his elbow and tried TO
get at his revolver, but fell back again and
remained motionless. Acting thus, under
advice from Colonel Chlnn, who stood by
with drawn revolver, waiting for a shot at
the assassin, the news was sent like light.

had been assassinated. People began pour

AN ABSURD OONOL UsION.

The Senate Committee on Puerto Rico,
which has under consideration the Foraker
bill providing form Of government for the
island, does not believe the Constitution of
the United States is suited TO the Puerto
Ricans. 1t has, therefore, struck out of the
bill the word constitution, the original copy
Of the act having extended the provisions
OF the Constitution as well as the laws OF
the United States 10 the island. 1t is also
stated that the majority of the committee
are opposed TO giving the island free trade
with the United States and that they favor
"a slight duty amounting TO % or 30 per
cent. on articles imported into the United
States from the island"
If the views Of the Senate committee pre-
vail and Congress legislates along the lines
il suggests, the people of the United States
will be in the position of annexing territory
from which their agricultural interests must
be protected There is, OF course, no need
of this protection; If there were our states
men should have thought Of this contiu
gency before they took possession OF the
island 1t is impossible TO conceive also
why the Puerto Ricans are not adapted to
our Constitution. Surely they must-at
least large number Of them-be as well
fitted To live up to it's spirit and enjoy Its
privileges as the millions OF blacks in the
South who were permitted to share It's
blessings almost as soon as they were eman'
cipated Congress honored the latter by
amending the Constitution. Why should
not the same distinguished consideration be
shown to the Puerto Ricans? The folly oil
the policy which our statesmen are en-.
deavoring to force upon the country is
strikingly illustrated by the attitude OF the
Senate committee. Why should we annex
territory the people of which are not good
enough to be invested with constitutional
rightsP Are our statesmen unwilling to ex-
tend the provisions of the Constitution to
the Puerto Ricans merely because they fear
to establish a precedent that may plague
them In the case of the Filipinos P-Bdth
