Bnrker shows His Colors.-The
Hon. Wharton Barker former Repub-
lican and former plutocrat has at last
displayed his eolors. He and the Hon.
ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota. are run
ming a Hanna sideshow under the name
of the Midde-of- the Road candidates for
President and Vice President Soon after
they were nominated at Cincinnati last
May the Hon. Wharton Barker came to
Washington and called upon his old friend,
the amiable and gentle natured Mr.. Nc
kinney. When he emerged from the White
House Barker quite fiercely denied that
he had wished his friend, Mr.. Mckinley,
good luck in the race for reelection. Even
the Hon. 1gnatius Donnelly perceived 1t to
De MS duty to caper nimbly from his bu-
colo retreat in Minnesota long enough to
protest earnestly not to say violently,
against the report that the Mid-Roaders
were Hannaites in disguise. Then the ia
nous Dcnnelly retired to his retreat and
has since been engaged in his celebrated
act OF thinking while the head OF his
ticket has been making as much hay as
possible for Mr.. Hanna while the sun
shone. Dark clouds seem now to be low
ering in Mid-Road skies, and Barker has
started from the wild and woolly West back
AT Omaha he yielded to the temptation t.
talk, and he assured all anxious enquirers
that in his opinion Mr.. Mckinley will be
trirmphantly reelected. But for my own
candidacy" modestly declared Barker,
Bryan would have a majority in the exec
toral college. but / shall poll enough yaies
in Nebraska, Indiana, and West Virginia
TO take these States away from Bryan and
give them to Mckinley. For the same rea-
son ] regard Missouri and Kentucky as
doubtful States Then the queer Mr. Bar
ker proceeded to tell his awe-struck in
terviewer that the ultimate success OF Mid
Road principles will be fastened by the
reelection Of Mr.. Mckinley, for reasons
that are based upon a system of logic wH.ch
only the cult that circles around the brill
liant light of the Hon. Ignatius Donnel
ly's intellect can appreciate. Barker says
he is going to poll vote of at least 500. 900.
and it may go to 000. 600. eff Georgia and
Texas do their duty" He says Woolley. the
Prohibition candidate, will get 100000
votes and Debs. the Socialist, will get the
same number. Mr.. Barker headed for CHI
not find Mr.. Hanna in the Windy City he
will chase that great orator up into South
Dakota. which State. according to Barker,
may give Bryan and Stevenson 5000 ma
jority. unless Mr. Hanna puts in some
powerful ticks there" Why Barker in
sists upon making verbal report to Han

mysteries which even the heaviest con- |

prevalent in China, that Lii Hung Chang
engaged to give Russia the Province of
Manchuria in consideration of the with
drawal of Russian and American troops

one is inclined to wonder what Russia
gave for the Mckinley alliance to carry
the scheme forward? Is there somebody

hopes of Russian railway contracts and
