The Real Issues.

The real issues that will decide the
presidential contest in 1900 are business
and patriotism. Imperialism, militar-
ism, or any ather ism will have little to
do with it. The business man, who may
always be depended upon to look out for
himself, will not want to risk change,
and as the interests of the laboring man
are identical with those of the business
man-both prospering or suffering to-
gether-that vote will be for Mckinley.
And the patriotism IF this country may
always be depended upon.
1t was the unanimous sentiment of the
people of this country that we should
take up the cause of CuDa and wrest that
fertile island from the tyrany of old
Spain, the She Wolf of nations. Congress
Immediately voted $4,000, 900 to the cause
and was ready to appropriate ten times
that amount if necessary.
Wnen we declared war against Spain
the United States assumed all the COM
pick obligations that such a declaration
involved. Every condition growing out
of it must be met in manner becoming
a great nation. There must he no shrink
ing, no evasion of duty. We were in
duty bound to stand by the flag of our
country wherever the hand of destiny
gave it to the air Of heaven.
To withdraw our troops from the Phil
ippines and permit the inhabitants OF
those islands to become the target of con-
flicting interests and to pray upon them.
selves like wounded wolves, would be tc
dishonor the flag and to brand ourselve.
as weaklings and towards.
That the sentiment of the American
people is distinctly averse to such a pol
icy we have not the slightest doubt, anC
the party that appeals TO them TO retrea
and to evade the responsibilities whicl
our interference in beealf of Cuba pu
upon us, will surely go down to inglori

Dear Sir: Perhaps you would like to

right to put before you the facts as to
why il is the foremost.

color, and linseed oil, ONLY used in it.
(2) 1t contains nothing else whatever ;
no water, no alkali, no benzine, no petro
leum, no fish oil. no barytes, no whiting
no adulterant.
(3) Your state chemist not only has an
alyzed the paint, and verifes (D and (2);
but he Is going to buy it and analyze it
occasionally, and thus watch over the in
terests of your customers.
(4) 1t is proportioned for veal.
(5) 1t is mixed intimately and ground
fine.
(6) II is full-measure (23l cubic inches

PugnaciOus Pastime.

What is there i'm our national pastime
OF baseball that tends so to arouse the
latent pugnacious instinct lying deep
within the soul OF every man to trans
form him for the time into a bowling,
lighting demon. There must be some
mysterious influence as yet little under
stood that impels the peaceful, law-abid-
ing taxpayer and citizen to rise in the
grand stand and shriek, "Kill him, kill
him." when the umpire renders decis-
ions not according to popular approval.
The man who, half choked with anger,
hurls insulting epilhcts at tho members
of the out-of-town team will sit in the
front pew in church on Sunday and listen
to the sermon, his placid countehance IL
Illuminated by a smile ofseraphic sanctity.
But put him in the grand stand and let
one of the home players muff an easy one
at third, and DIR. Jelsyll Immediately be
comes Mr.. Hyde, and his language inn
parts distinct odor of birthstone 10 the
surrounding atmosphere.
1t might be supposed that ball mines
composed of church members exclusive
ly would be able TO get along without
quarreling, but it appears not. The Pitts
burg NeDS relates the stor, from Hunt
ington, Conn, of ball game between
the members of tho Congregational
church of that town which ended in n
free fight and call for the police. II was
decision of tho umpire, OF course, that
made the trouble. The superintendent
OF the Sunday school, who was playing
right field, questioned the decision,
which was upheld by the leader of the
choir and three deacons on the side lines,
Thoreupon the superintendent smote the
musician, and with the mixing in of the
deacons, the assistant superinten lent,
who naturally went to the assistance of
the uperintendont, several members in
good standing and the sexton, the fight
was fairly on. The beloved pastor, who
ondeavored to separate the combatants,
was put out in the first round. The sin
ners in the grand stand provided voclf-
erous applause. But the police, who are
always nosing around to spoil somebody's
fun, appeared and all hands were hauled
to the station house. Why dose base
ball arouse our sleeping savagery? Let
the mighty minds of tho nation grapple
with the question. Daily the citizens of
this country at ball games waste enough
pugnacity TO whip the whole Chinese
army.

MIR. BRYAN doubtless feels internally
vexed over the praises bestowed upon
him since his nomination by prominent
English papers like the Spectator. 1t
must be naturally disagreeable TO be TAX
en- for friend by nation against which
he wants TO wage n wordy war in tho
hope of gaining the votes of such people
in this country as feel hostile TO it, The
English apparently care nothing about
Bryan's pro-Boer protestations, for they
do not believe Mr.. Bryan as President
would be militant enough to involve the
Anglo-SaXon countries in bloody war by
going any farther than to offer to medi-
ate, as President Mckinley did. Why
England wishes for Bryan's election is
because he is free trader. BY closing the
mills of the United States the mills of
England would do bigger business
The work that Mr.. Bryan would take
away from the American workman
would go TO the workmen of England.

THE New York Herald recently con-
tanned cartoon which showed Mr.. Bray
in Bryan, the Presidential candidate of
the Populists Of the Democrats, too
at the telephone. Mr.. Bryan was calling
to Central for the American working
man and Central" was replying as
Central provokingly will, BUSY
now" The st. Louis Globe Democrat
now says this picture has been sustained
by subsequent actual facts. at was,n
says that paper, "Mr. Bryans original
intention to conduct front porch cam
paign, making ringing speaches to visit
ing delegations, but he has abandoned
tho idea and in conversation with some
friends recently stated that it was useless
to think of such method of campaign
ing, for the reason, that the people were
too busily engaged with their regular
work to come TO Lincoln and near him,
and that he would be compelled to go to
them" There is an apropos line of
Burns about "the best laid plans of mice
and men," you know.

Even the convention is not responsible

imperalistic club.
