NO COMPLIMENT TO MCKINLEY.
Some Very Truthful Words from the

Although triumphant, President Nc
Kinley must come out of the late con-
test with sadly battered self.respect.

for him at all and e1cusing it only on
the ground that be represented whst
they regarded as desirable policy.
Tie intellect and character of the
Republican party looked upon the
president with contempt and they were
not polite enough to conceal it. The
disgust with his shilly-shallying policy
was freely expressed II the newspapers
and in the ntterances Of some of the
most distinguished men of his party.
With what withering contempt must

Torrance of modern pumping engines is
pretty high, as was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
here in New York, where some large
pumping engines that had recently been
set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise were inspected by an expert in
such matters who hailed from an inte-
rior city. He remarked, "Well, those
engines work very nicely now, but wait
until you get to pumping water at that
speed and then you will hear something
from them probably"
