that, in my judgment. the most important
one of these at the present moment, and
the one destined to over shadow all
others in the discussion of the Campaign

who is always looking out for his
party's interest, informed the judge
that the persons he had selected were
totally unfit for the position, and then
Mr.. France continued that he knew

filling the position, and that man was
Walter Raley.
Mr.. Rnley's father is general super

Railroad and has lived in the South
for ten years, while his family resides
at Kent. Mr.. Raley was at home on

France steered the Judge up against
the father of Walter Raley, and told
him of the Judges mission, and add
cd: II have asked the Judge to re-
commend your son for the position"
All that day Mr.. NJ. Y. Raley and the
Judge were together. Shortly after
that the Judge Went to Washington
to see Congressman Dick. There he
was met by Mr.. Raley's private car
and he was taken down into Florida
for pleasure trip, free of expense.
Walter Raley was accordingly ap~

to think that they will have good

office for five years they feel that they

there have been in any year, or any
four years since.
When General Grosvenor assumes
that the four years under Mckinley
have been unprecedently prosperous,
he does so without warrant of fact.
The people of the country generally
have not been more than ordinarily
successful. The only great success
achieved has been by the trusts and
combines. Under the high tariff these
have been enabled to make corner
on the manufactured products of the
country and rob the American con-
sumer as he was never robbed before
Nail mills have declared semi.annual
dividends on their capital stock OF 100
per cent, other protected and cornered
industries have paio dividends varying
from % per cent to POO per cent. The
stockholders and manipulators Of these
concerns have prospcred, bat the
bulk of what they have gained has
been lost by the great body Of peo-
pie. Mckinley prosperity, so.callcd, is
a sham. Ii cmpties the pockets of the
many and fills the pockets of the few.
| II controls the home market, and after
supplying it at prices from 80 to 100
per cent higher than its products are
worth, sends any surplus it may have
abroad to be sold there for whatever
it may bring. As the result of all
this American nails, railway bars,
woolen gods, etc, cano be bought in
Europe at lower prices than in Amer.
lea. This may be good thing for the
combines and for foreigners, but it is
not at all likely to contribute to the
prosperity Of the American consumer
The old Republican party insisted up
on equal opportunities for all. Tho
Mckinley party plays into the hands
of trusts and combines at home and
bullies weak and dcfcnselcss people
abroad In short, 1t robs Americans
and slaughtcrs Filipnos aud then
shouts prosperity to divert attention
from its misdeeds.

In the July number of the North
American Review, General Charles
Henry Grosvenor adds somewhat TO
the luster Of his reputation as crimi.
nal lawyer by n lengthy defense of
McKinley's Administration He starts
out by affirming that the so-called Re.
publican party needs no defense and
then proceeds to defend it. The fact
is General Grosvenor knows very we'll
what only the Republican blockhead
has failed to discover namely, that
Mckinley, Roosevelt Hanna and their
Confederates, have abandoned every
thing the old Republican party ever
adhered TO except the name, and that
they are now doing fraudulent bust
ness under stolen trade mark. Gen
eral Grosvenor asks "What was it that
precipitated this country from the high
pinnacle of the commercial, industrial
and financial prosperity of 1892 down
into the pit in which we wallowcd for
four years"
1t was the so.called Sherman law of
lS90--the law authorizing the purchase
of 100000 ounces of silver per month
for which Mckinley and General Gros-
venor voted II they were in Congress
at the time. and which | know both
defended on the stump in Ohio. This
law prcciptated the panic of 1903
and this panic continued with the ut
most violence until Cleveland called
Il special session Of Congress and had
the law repealed. From the hour OF
it's repeal the panic ceased, and tho

The fact that the Yosemite, whicu
was wrecked in a typhoon off the coast
of Guam, after having her bows stove
in, her stern battered and her bottom
torn, remained a6oat for two days
bears out the statement recently made
by Lieutenant-C t-Commander Kelly that
modern war ship is practically un.
sinlable, unless her bottom is ripped
open.
The iron bulkheads cut up such q
vessels hold into many water tight
compartments, which gives the ship
buoyancy, though the water comes in
in various places.
An even better example of this was
the cruiser Maria Theresa, which was
foated after being sunk at Santiago
and abandoned in a big storm as it
was being towed to the United States.
The Spanish ship was thought to be
sinking then, but it floated five hun
dred miles after being abandoned, nn'

TRUE GREATNESS.

The wisest man l ever knew
Had neither wealth nor fame;
Few people in this busy world
Have ever heard his name;
He never wrote a book nor led
An army to the fray,
Nor asked men for their votes nor mourned
Because they said him nay.
He may have known his Bible and
His Shakespeare through and through
III 80 he never tried TO let
The world know what he knew;
he toiled, and Fortune sweetly smiled,
And still he toiled away,
And stopped to rest and found himself
A millionaire one day.
This was the greatest wisest man
] ever knew, because,
Although he never wrote a book
Nor won the worlds applause,
He took his million and withdrew
From all the rush and roar,
Instead of starting anew
To win a million more.
