MCKINLEY AND AGUINALDO.
(Omaha World-Herald.)

(Omaha World Herald.)
Did you ever notice the striking SINH
larity between William Mckinley and
Emilio Aguinaldo? Really the resem-
blance is most remarkable. There is
Aguinaldo, for instance. One day he Is
penned up in the mountains about Ga
gayan and the next day he Is safe with
in the corporate limits Of Singapore.
Suddenly he appears in the vicinity Of
Bongabong and Otis gleefully an
nounces that within "a hours he will
have the willy Filipino leader in irons.
In less than the time set for his cap
ture Aguinaldo bobs up serenely In an
other part Of Luzon and gives Otis the
merry ha-ha. One day he is here and
the next he Is 500 miles away. He bobs
in and out, here and there, up and down,
in a most bewildering manner, and one
never knows where to locate him.
What a resemblance to William Nc
Kinley! One day he is safely anchored
to plain duty" and the next day he pa
rades Pennsylvania avenue securely
chained to the chariot wheels Of Henry
r. Oxnard. He bobs up at a Methodist
conference one day and tells us what
the flag means, and the next day he pro-
ceeds to show by his actions that what
he said was merely clap-trap and that
he really believes that the flag means
some thing else. One day he is in con-
gress swearing by all the political gods
in the gallery that he who would at
tempt tostrike down bimetallism is a
thief and robber; the next day he is In
the white house declaring that only a
thief and a robber would advocate BIZ
metallism in the face of the fact that
the men who hoisted him into office
want the other thing.
Talk about skip jacks! Emilio Aguin-
aldo is not in the same class with Will
liam Mckinley.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-04-20

that class of citizens which failed to give
their support to him, characterizes him
as narrow in spirit and bitter in resent
ment, and is not high recommendation
for the position to which he has been
elevated. Hundreds of Democrats in
this city gave their support to Major
Baird because they were of the opinion
that the old board had not at all times
done the right thing, but there were
many hundreds of Democrats. and we
have reason to believe good sprinkling
even Of Republicans, who did not vote
for the Major, who are men of as high
responsibility as even the Major HIM
self, and that in the estimation of the
Major is pretty high. Again, the Ma
jor believes, as he said, in placing the
schools upon the low plane Of partisan
politics. He believes that merit and
merit alone should count. Yet the Ma
jor says in his address that the teach
ers should be about equally divided be-
tween Democrats and Republicans. BY
what arrangement the Major proposes
to elect teachers on merit alone and at
the same time divide them equally be-
tween the two parties we do not know.
To the fair minded such proposition is
not only inconsistent but absurd. The
Major said many other things that had
better remained unsaid, for the good OF
himself and the schools, and 1t is a
matter of regret that the new board
from whom the people expect so much
should make such an unfortunate be-
ginning.
