NOT A DEAD ISSUE.

Notwithstanding the fact that Repub-
lican leaders and newspa pers have been
saying that the silver issue is a dead As
sue, Mr. Mckinley devoted the greater
part of the speech he delivered yesterday
at Canton, o., upon the occasion of the
visit of he committee appointed TO notify
him of his nomination for President. to
the money question and the 10 to l idea
If he and his party consider ii dead is
sue, why did he devote so large a part
of his speech to it? AS a matter of fact
neither he nor the Republican leaders re-
gard it as a dead issue. All the indica-
tons are that they intend to do their Ut
mosE TO make it the leading issue of the
campaign. The people may not be so
much interested in it as they were in
1895, but that they are interested in it
there is no doubt.
In the course of his speech Mr.. Nc
Kiniey said: unfortunately the threat of
1895 has just been renewed by the allied
parties without abatement or modifica-
ton. The gold bill has been denounced
and its repeal demanded. The menace of
country with all of its dire consequences
to credit and confidence to business and
industry. The enemies of sound currency
are rallying their scattered forces. The
people must once more unite and over
come the advocates of repuCiat ion, and
must not relax their energy until the bat
tie for public honor and honest money
shall again triumph"
This does not look as If the silver issue
is dead or that the Republicans consider
it dead On the contrary it justifies the
conclusion that, so far as they can con-
troll the political situation, the Repub-
licans intend to make the silver issue the
most prominent issue of the campaign
They believe that they will have a better
chance 10 win with that issue than with
any other
1t is not by any means certain that they
will succeed in their purpose The Dem
ocrats may concentrate their fire so
strongly on imperialism that the Repub-
licans will have to take the defensive on
that issue. In that event they will have
very little time to give to the silver is
sue After all. however, the people viii
determine the issue. just at present they
seem to be interested in questions which
have come to the front since the war with
Spain, particularly as TO whether this
country shall remain a republic or. by
exercising imperalistic powers, become an
empire

MIR. CROKER AND THE SILVER
QUESTION.

1t is very unfortunate for the country
that Mr.. Richard Croker of New York
did not devote his powerful mind to the
study of the silver question long ago. If
he had done so there is a probability that
IL would now be settled and out of the
way. In an interview in New York or
Tuesday he said that he had been giving
some attention 10 the silver question late
ly and was surprised to find that the
problem il presented was so easy to solve.
Continuing he is quoted as having said:
The dstrust which some persons have
of silver proceeds from ignorance. They
think il is sort of bugaboo. When they
study the question thoroughly they will
vote for Mr.. Bryan. As for the ratio
of 1e to l, that is something which per-
sonally think Congress ought to estab-
fish every four years"
No doubt financiers and politicians and
statesmen in all parts of the country who
have heard Mr.. Croker's solution of this
troublesome question are wondering why
they never thought of this solution OF
course, they will agree with Mr.. Croker
chat they We're too ignorant 70 think of
it. Even Mr.. Bryan does not seem TO
have thought of it, because he win not
agree that Congress shall have anything
to do with fixing the ratio. He insists
upon l6 to !. Congress might think il
advisable, If il decided to do anything
about the ratio, TO deal with il as a mer-
camille question, fixing the ratio in ac-
cordance with the market values of gold
and silver; but even Congress would hard
ly agree with the Croker view that the
ratio should be established every four
years. That would give the silver dollar
so many different money values that il
would require person 10 have a remark
able memory TO keep up with all of them.
If Mr.. Crokers plan We're adopted there
never would be a settlement of the silver
question The rise and fall in the price
of silver bullion would keep it alive.
There would be no danger then of its be-
coming a dead question. It is fair to
suppose that Mr.. Croker has received con-
CALCULATIONS from many parts of the
country on his silver question solution

4 story Of whtstIing and Bees.

Henry Fitch, a young farmer living at
Mountain End, invited death for himself
and his two oxen the other day by whis-
Ting. says the St. Louis Republic.
Young Fitch is whistler of much 0bil-
ity. He has whistled at every farm house
and every gathering in the neighbOrhood,
and when he is whiting nobody cares to
listen 10 piano, violin, flute, guitar or
banjo
Tho other day Fitch was ploughing in
his field-ploughins and wits fling. Two
sleek, sleepy oxen were drawing the
plough, and neither they nor Fitch paid
any attention 10 anything but the plough
ing and the whistling
Presently a swarm Of thousands of honey
bees lowered over them. There was no
use 20 run-slill less to fight them, and
Fitch simply kept on whistIing ana plough
ing while the bees settled softly upon him
and the oxen. They seemed friendly
enough as Ions as Fitch whistled, and
Fitch admits that he was willing 10
whistle as long as they remained friendly
and seemed inclined TO listen.
Fitch continued 10 plough along. His
patch led toward his home. where he
could see his mother in the yard. He
caught the tails of the oxen and held
them so the beasts might not anger the
bees by switching them. For the distance
OF half mile he held those two -oxtails
and Whistled.
His mother looked up and saw him. He
and his oxen looked like they might be
covered with q soft brown fur. Fitch
stopped whistling just long enough to
shout bees and then continued his
team without the bees realizing that he
had dropped note,
Mrs. Fitch acted at once. She knows
something of bees and realized that unless
she got them hived in short order they
would probably sting her son to death For
she argued that he could not keep on
whistling forever.
So she Sot a huge tin pan and began
beating it vigorously. The bees stirred
uneasly al this interruption of their con-
cert, but they did not sting. and after
few moments every one of them rose in
the air and started toward the tin pan.
Mrs. Fitch led the way to an empty hive
which had luckily been prepared for an
other swarm, and, by dint of much beat
ing aud coaXing, got all the bees into it.
Fitch stopped whistling, sat down fiat
on the ground, and mopped his face. The
sleek, lazy oxen switched their tails vigor-
ously TO make up for lost time

IMPERIALISM DENIED.

In his speech at Canton. yesterday, the
President made an adroit attempt to
create the impression that the policy Of
his party in respect to the Philippines
is not imperialism. In the course of his
remarks he said THE Republican par y
was dedicated to freedom forty-four years
ago. II has been the party of liberty and
emancipa ton since that hour; not of pro
f5ssion, but of performance. 1t broke the
7 shackles of 100000 slaves-and made them
free and to the party of Lincoln has
come another supreme opportunity which
il has b;ayey met in the liberation Of
10 10000 OF the human family from the
yoke Of imperialism. ln its solution of
great problems, in its performance Of high
duties. it has had the support of members
of all parties in the past and confidently
invokes Their co-opsra ion in the future"
The President has overlooked the fact,
apparently, that the 100000 Filiplnos do
not understand that they have been en-
tirely released from the yoke Of imperial
ism They think the yoke under which
thy are now held is yoke of imperial
ism. bat little if any less Objectionable
t1an the one from which they were releas-
I'd. They know they are not to have the
same rights under the constitution Of the
United states that citizens Of the Ameri-
can Union have. but are TO be governed
as Congre IS may direct They cannot un-
derstand why this is not imDerlal.sm
pure and simple. And there are a good
many American citizens who cannot I'M
derstand why it isn't.
In his Canton spee Oh the President took
occasion 10 say. what the Republican
platform fails to say. namely, that Con-
gress is clothed with ample power to
govern territory that belongs 10 the Unit
ed States, that the constitution does not
follow the flag.
The manner in which the President dealt
with the Philippine question indicates that
he sees many difficulties in the way of a
successful defense OF the Philippine pol
icy Of his party. The Philippines were
colonies Of pa n, ard the President says
they we're released from Imperialism by
the party of which he is chief What is it
that that party proposes now? To make
he Filipinos freemen, citizens of the
United States or an independent people?
Nothing OF the kind. II proposes that they
shall b. co'onists of the United States
just as they were colonists of Spain. II
does not propose that they shall come
within the jurisdiction Of the constitution
of the United States. but that they shall
be governed by Congress.
If this is not the essence Of Imperialism
what is it? But the Democratic party is
not opp sing the Philippine policy of the
Republican party simply because it denies
liberty to the Filipinos, but mainly be-
cause of its effect upon the institutions
of the United States. Its tendency is to
make the character of the government i'm
pe;ialistic. The concern of the Democratic
party is for the 1900, 900 of American free
men who are now enjoying the blessings
of a government of the people by the peo-
pie and for the people.
