President Mckinley paid Spain 500

did not possess and had not power to
deliver. The president has since that
time spent of the American peoples
money $2O0,O00,G00 trying to obtain
that for which he had paid $4,000

succeeded in filling graves, hospitals,

He has appointed more commissions
to carry out his unconstitutional poll

WANTS A MONARCHY
Mckinley Organ in Iowa Voices the
Real Sentiments of the
Republican Party.
CONSTITUTION IS OBSOLETE.


The following article is from the
Des Moines tIa.) Globe. Republican
farmers paper. 1t voices in plain Ian
guage the spirit of Mckinley Repub-
hcanism. What the Globe frankly
speaks the imperialist secretly thinks.
1t is brutally plain, and for this rea-
son Republican organs have affected
to discredit its sentiments; but it
speaks out Of the fuIlness of a heart
saturated with Hamiltonianism, which
is the inspiration of President McKin-
ley; and there is in it that touch of
sincerity that gives it weight as an ut
terance, little rash perhaps and pos
sibly little premature, but significant
OF Lne trend of modern RepubIicanism.
The article deserves the very widest
publicity as showing the direction of
the Mckinley drift:
For a long time thinking people
who have large commercial interests
have felt unsafe with our present form
OF government from the fact that we
are controlled by the little Cheap

From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 It seems to be the general opinion that our reciprocity treaty with France will fail of ratification in the senate on account of the opposition of American protected manu- facturers who think they will be hit by it.. Similarly in France certain protected in- terests think they will be hurt if the tariff wall be lowered the least bit to American products. Protests have been sent to the French senate and the minister of com merce has promised to let the French chambers of commerce and agriculture see the treaty. Nothing short of absolute pro- hlbition of imports satisfies the consistent rfotectionist. He may be content to toler- ate for the sake of revenue, importation of such articles as he himself does not manufacture, but every ounce of merchan- disc that comes over the tariff wall to com pete with him is an ounce of evil and call ing it's admission reciprocity" does not improve it.

Chicago's Sanitary Canal.

The glacial drift that Pere Joliet re- gretted in 1874 has been cut through, and the waters of Lake Michigan are now feed ing the waters of the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. The actual work of exca- walton was not begun until September g.. 1892, and it was after that time prosecuted wiah rare vigor and skill, and it's comple- tion at the present time is a monument to Chicago's energy and enterprise. The en- tire cost, s3S,OoC,OOO has been in part met by taxation, and the balance will be easily carried in view of the undoubted benefits .it will bring to the drinking water Of the city.
 The sewage of the city will be turned Into the canal and washed down the Mis- sissippi valley much to the discontinue

of St. Louis, but really not to its detriment. distance. The trouble at Chicago was that sewage was turned into lake that had no outlet short of Niagara Falls. five hun dred miles away. The sewage was turned into pool, in other words. and the water for the uses of the people became foul, and there was way to remedy it except to cut a canal to the waters of the Mississippi valley, expensive and slow as the jo5 might be
 Now that the canal is completed, Chicago begins to plan schemes Of navigation to and from the Mississippi valley.

DeIauoa Bay Fills the Eye.

There is still a widespread belief that Germany and England acting in ac- cord in South African matters and that they are about to divide between them at least Portuguese territory in East Africa. If they are so determined all the protests of France will not prove obstructive in the slightest degree. France is deeply hurt over Fashoda, and she would like to avenge it, but she has too much sense to tackle Germany and England, either separately. The Portuguese territory will be divided if Portugal, Great Britain and Germany are agreed, and the better part of Europe is inclined to think they are.
 As soon as the Swiss arbitrators decide the Delagoa bay railroad claims, the world will probably come to know how much truth. if any, there are in current reports In the meanwhile Deagoa bay will remain a center of interest, because it is the only possible port of access of the Boers with ,.the outside world. Not a letter or dispatch or a pound of supplies can reach them ex- cept through that much coveted bay. While 1t remains in neutral hands England will doubtless continue to seize on incom- ing ships whatever she thinks is destined for the Boers. Under the general law of nations she will proceed to pay for such seizures paying not only the value of the goods but a mercantile profit and freight and damage besides. She will not haggle over the bill. She is willing to pay if she can keep the goods from going to the Boers The seizures will be maintained with great regularity until shippers be- come tired of the process, and under the law of nations TO harm will come from it beyond the settlement of bills. Clustering politicians of the cheap sort will utilize it, claiming that the flag has been desecrated and all that, but in this country they should not indulge in much talk about the flag, for navigation and tariff laws long ago drove the flag off the seas, especially those that flew along East Africa. Orators and statesmen in this country should confine themselves to a discussion of insults to the American Eagle with a few observa- tions upon Uncle Sam's might thrown in. The flag that does not exist on the- high seas should be omitted for obvious rea- sons

CLEVER WORK BY THE WHIPS

From the Washington Post.
 There great deal of clever fenc- ing between the two party whips of the house, Representatives Tawney, of Min nesota, and Underwood of Alabama, be- fore the holidays. On account of the close ness of the two parties numerically this will probably continue during the session. The greatest caution is observed to have every absent member paired with some one of the opposite political faith. That in itself is very simple matter, but the transfer of pairs is worked out by the ex- perts to a mathematical nicety. There is always danger of the transfer of a pair to some dead one" or member who is al ready paired. If such a consummation were reached it would simply lose vote to the party that the dead one" affiliated with Something like that came near be- ing carried out by inadvertence on the vote upon the financial bill, but it was. discov- cred in season to be corrected.

THE ONLY DAILY NswspApEs IN ALABAMA
Athens Has a DispensarY.

The city of Athens as well as twelve counties in the state. are now conducting the liquor business for the public good ex- clusively. These experiments in the South , Carolina method will be watched with a good deal of interest, and upon the success of their operation. morally as well as fnan- cially, will depend possible extensions of the plan.
 Up to New Years Day Athens had four saloons, but the city is now the only dealer in ''tanglefoot." which is kept in sealed packages only. and these packages cannot be opened in the cty's saloon The Athens Courier thus describes the situation;
 The store, for that is really what 1t
 IS Is kept open not later than o'clock
 in the evening, and a person can make
 only one purchase a day. so if he wants
 to get on a bender he must buy quart
 and get on the outside of that during
 the twentyfour hours. The profits of
 this business go to enrich the city treas
 ury, and it remains to be seen whether
 the city will be better or worse off under
 the new regime. It is very likely that
 there.will be much less whisky drinking
 an the county under the new order or
 things. This will be the only saloon or
 whisky house in the county that is 1egalized there is likely to be number Of blind tigers" but unless Moores- vile or Elkmont. the only two other in- :. corporated towns in the county, should sell whisky under the dfspensary law the only other way it can be legally sold is by the county. The county commission CTS are not disposed to go into the whis- ky traffic, it is likely that Athens
 will have a monopoly of the whisky
 business during the year
 Blind tigers will undoubtedly become prominent features of the case in districts outside of Athens, but there seems to be mo reason why there should be such an in- stituton in Athens; and indeed the law is ample for their quick suppression anywhere. The citizens of Limestone will not give the dispensary a fair trial if they permit "blind tigers" to exist. They should be hunted down and out; and then all will be able to see whether or no the dispensary is the remedy for the evils of the liquor trade that they long have sought.

HARD PHRASE TO TACKLE
People Located by Their Pronunciation of
 "Tabled'Hote."

From the Indianapolis News.
 Hanging in the elevator car over our place, said a man who lives at one of the big hotels, lis a card announcing a table d'hote dinner at certain hour. It is all most always subject of inquiry on the part of new guests, and, strange as it may seem it constitutes fairly reliable indiea- tion as to their places of residence. During the past couple of months I have made something of a study of the subject and have prepared little schedule showing the pronunciation current in few different localities. Here it is:
 Chicago. tabble day hote.
 :" Louisville, tabu dote.
 ," Des Moines, tay-bul de hotey.
 " Omaha, table dough.
 " Indianapolis, table de hote.
 !" Grand Rapids, tabbel dotty.
 :" Sioux City, tabbul de hoo.
 " Oklahoma, what d y callem.'
 "I don't claim that this is absolutely ac- curate, and, of course, it is merely the be- ginning of a much wider classification, but as far as it goes it may be relied on in the majority of cases. For example, when l hear a man ask where the 'tabbel dotty is served I feel fairly safe in inquiring how things look in his part of Michigan. If he says, Where's that table dough" l make some pleasant remark about MT. Bryan or ask whether the Nebraska farmers are still ir line on free silver, and about five times out of seven he gives me a stony glare s,a I bax if r;obt bat h takes me for a bunco steerer. l have esti- mated that there are at least forty differ ent ways of rronouncing the term table d hote, each peculiar to some city or sec tion. It is very fascinating study and am thinking of incorporating my researches in my great work entitled Hints to Hotel Men How to Size Up Strangers With out Looking at Them "

SHOULD BE SWORN

Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune
 T hope the Roberts committee will re- port in favor of allowing the member-elect from Utah to take his seat" said Represen- tative Sam Smith, of Michigan. "He un- doubtedly should be granted that right, which he is entitled to because of the cer- tificate of election held by him. ' \ When I came here at the beginning of the session my mind was made up the only proper thing to do was to permit Roberts to be sworn in. and have seen nor heard nothing since that time to change my opin- ion. After he has been sworn in 1t VII be proper to unseat him, if he is guilty of polygamy. but the constitution is so plain on the point of administering the oath of office to a member-elect I do not see there is anything to do but to admit him. Of course, if Roberts is guilty of polygamy he should be expelled.
 "There is but one way to expel member of congress, and 1t cannot be done before he is sworn in. l am in favor of doing business in a proper and orderly way. as it has more effect. and no bad precedents are set, and we will not be plagued by regrets.

It certainly ought not to be in this stage of civilization. It is not flat tering to the pride of our people 10 be obliged to acknowledge the necessity of adopting this method Of stamping out reproach to any civilization in the closing days of the nineteenth century. and we think, in view of the apparently conceded fact that polygamy is dying out of itself, that there should be serious deliberaiion before taking that step. The men who made our national constitution were averse to recognize slavery by name in it. and there would be propriety in their sue eessors taking the same attitude toward the other twin relic of barbarism."

EXPLANATION ASKED

From the Chicago Post.
 MT. Austin's latest poem is very sweet and pretty, and We should desire to offer q few thoughtful comments if the morning papers which publish few sample stanzas will kindly tell us who MT. Austin Is "alludin' at when he says:
 What is to him,
 Or life limb
 Who rends the chain or breaks the rod?
 Who falls for Freedom, falls for God?
 Who falls for freedom and who falls for God? And who are the Spartan mothers" down in the Tnansvaal?' Far be it from us to utter word of reproadh against our gallant English cousins, put if i6,r Austin has not repudiated his sovereign, what is his particular merry jest when he talks about falling for freedom and falling for God? For what and for whom are the Poers falling? Diamonds?

OBSCURE MARTYRS

By Edwin Arnold. They have no place in stored page, Nor rest in marble shrine. They are past and gone with a perished
 age,
 They died and made no sign. But work that shall find its wages yet, And deeds that their God did not forget, Done for their love divine These were the mourners and these shall
 be The crowns of their immortality. Oh, seek them not where sleep the dead Ye shall not find their trace: No graven stone is at their head, No green grass hides their face; But sad and unseen in their silent grave It may bs> the sand of deep sea wave. Or loneN desert place; For they need no prayers and no mourning
 bell They were tombed ntrue hearts that knew
 them well. They healed sick hearts till theirs were
 broken,
 And dried sad eyes till theirs lost sight; We shall know at last by certain token How they fought and fell in the fight. Salt tears of sorrow unbehefd, Passionate cries unchronicled, And silent strifes for the right Angela shall court them and earth shall
 sigh That she left her best children to battle
 and die.
