The Separate Car Law.

While travel in this section has
been robbed of much that was un-
pleasant and Objectionable by the
new car law there are still evils and
ineOnvenienceS, which were brough-
about by this law. The Railroad
Company no longer sells second class
tickets, and every body makes rush
now for the first class car, and of
course, often crowding it uncomfort
ably. 1t can be readily scent that the
railroads have been greatly benefited
in taking off all cheap tickets, and
not burdencd by expenses in fitting
up cars as was at first suggested.
The fact that West Virginia has
not adopted the law makes it inoper-
alive to some extent, in this section
of the State. The prediction is made
by some. tkat West Virginia will be
forced by public sentiment, to adopt
the law, or one similar to the law now
in force III this State.

The Prayer Cham and Votes.

The executive committee of the
W. G T. u. of Indiana, have in
augurated a novel and Unique meth
cd to aid in the election of "a better
man for President for the next four
years" They have b,nded them
selves together to pray, aud TO try
to get all their sisters to pray until
the election that Mr.. Mckinley may
be defeated. Their opposition to
him arises from his we'll known can
teen policy.
Some one should suggest to those
ODD sisters, that while prayer may
prove an effective weapon, votes are
necessary to ''elect better man."
and they might accomplish their
purposes by helping to elect Mr..
Bryan.

Great Prize for Workj1o,e1

This is new element i'm the
campaign. The Democracy still
holds out great prize to the work
ingmen of the United States.
With a Secretary of Labor in the
Cabinet the wealth producers of
the nation can press successfully
for reasonable legislation In their
interests and present their griev-
ances in manner hitherto I'm.
possible.
All the reports from industrial
centers in New York indicate THAT
this promise of the Democratic
party has opened the eyes of thous-
ands of men who have until now
supported the party of trusts.
AS former Senator Dreamer said
today: "There are eight thousand
million dollars of untaxed wealth
in the State of New York, and the
millions of men who have made
that wealth by their labor have to
pay the taxes of the few men who
own 1.-THE World.

The Passing of the Constitution.

To THE News:
The Declaration of Independence
aud the Constitution of the United
States are no longer regarded as
Immortal documents by the pres
ent administration organs, which
organs reflect the sentiment and
feeling Of the administration. A few
weeks a5O the Des- Moines Globe, an
ardent supporter of Mckinley said
Now lis a good time to do away
with our obsolete constitution and
adopt form of government that will
be logical with our new expansion
ideas and will give ample protection
to capital.
"a constitutional monarchy is
probably the most desirable plan that
we tould now adopt. Everything is
ripe for the change We have large
army aud it can be increased under
almost any pretext with causing any
alarm to the masses. The
strong iron hand of discipline will
have to be used to bring the masses
to sense of good behavior"
Our fathers believed in the eternal
principles of liberty and selfgoven-
ment. and clothed these principles
in the language and forms of the two
articles referred to, and their crystal
lization resulted in our present Re
publican. Government, under which
we have grown and become great.
But, the extracts from the paper
above quoted clearly show that a
King is wanted. The Cons6 ution
and Declaration of Independence
have become obsolete, and their
teachings not adapted to this pro
gressive age. Israel waxed strong
and mighty, and her simple laws
grew Objectionable to the aristocrecy
OF the Jews. They clamored for a
X ng-a king was allowed them, and
chat very day clouds began to gather
over the earth. and the wrinkles of
care became visible on the face of
the nation, and IN the end tears, war
and blood filed their cup, which,
though drained to the dregs, was as
alter refilled, and the back tracking
of her history is made through fields
and ages of blood. So, will the
Goodies of Liberty-civil and reli-
gious-be dashed from her pedestal,
and despot mount the throne,
sword in hand, and armies at beck
and call, and American Liberty be-
come a matter of brief history, and
tbeh-asbes.

the Prosperity President does, and
we have had great times. Look after
the interest of the rich, and be aris-
tocratic and imperial. We have
feared all along that you talked too
much TO AID about 1.-The masses" the
lsboriDg and common people. Our
present man done do it, and he is
great. You might talk to them
about "a full dinner pail" and please
them that way. These masses live
only to eat, you know, and you must
appeal to their lower appetites
The happiness of "a full dinDer
pail, is about as much as these
men and women have any rIgh to
ask. They deserve no privileges
We warn you again, to create de-
mand for stuff, and look after the
dinner pail" And lastly, be a
great president, have a high ideal.
Don't bother with Lincoln, Wash
ington, Jefferson, or any of those
common old fogies, but be like the
Car of Russia or the Emperor OF
Germany, or some one of those g eat
rulers. Remember, that president
of a Republic like our is not servant
but ruler. Ignore Congress, the
Constitution, Declaration, the flag
and all the whole blamed business.
Observe all these suggestions, and
you'll make a good president if you
live to get through, and we may vote
for you next term-to stay at home.

An Open Letter to M. BRYAN.

DEAR Mr.. BRYAN:-We take this
method of addressing you upon some
matters OF vital Importance both to
you and to the country at large We
are sure you will see this letter, as
you could not very well afford to ie-
more this paper, for you must know
by this time that we can make and
unmake presidents, and have done
a great deal already to block MIR.
McKinleys road toIthe White House
We call your attention 10 the fact that
Mr.. Mckinley is paid-up subscrib-
er to the Republican papers in this
"nick of the woods" and II you are
wise you will take the hint and Isend
us your subscription. Please remit
by Post officer order, Registered let
ter, or certified New York check-no
stamps,
But to proceed with our advice ::
Presuming, of course, upon yonr
election, there are some things you
must do. See to it every ear that
there are good seasons all over the
United States We are farming
people, and unless you give us good
seasons you will not fill the bill We
have been accustomed to "a president
for 4 years who has given us plenty OF
rain, and we have gotten use to it,
You know what fine crops we nave
had as the work of the present admin
istration, to which is due the good
times. If you are not up on
the weather, why, get in with the
Bureau men, and study up. This is
vitality important. Again, see to
it that the price of cattle keeps up.
We raise cattle in this section, and
since Mr. Mckinley went IN we have
been getting fine prices, and if you
let the prices drop you will disap
point your friends. We suggest in
this connection, that after you have
given US abundant seasons and crops
that you precipitate famine in
England, or India-or just any old
place-in order that we may sell our
stuff This is what your predecessor
has done in his great considerable
for us, and we are spoiled, and will
expect you to continue his policy.
You might also preclpitate small
sized war somewhere, or continue a
few of the present ones we have on
hand, in order that we may sell iron,
steel, lumber for ships, &c. This
will afford market for our stuffs.
We warn you that the famine and
war part of the program is import
ant especially the war part. You will
thereby be enabled to give many of
your friends and loyal supporters
good fat positions on commissions
and various other things. You must
by all means, continue the present
prosperous times. Mr. Mckinley
has been a great success at creating
q demand" There has been
great demand for coal, sugar, coffee.
canned beef and other hecessaries and
they have all increased very much in
price 1t is true, the men who buy
these things are not getting higher
wages, but that mrkes 10 difference.
They are only plain working people,
and don't amount to iauch. anyway
You look after the owners of the /
mines and factories, and they will |
look after the rest. This is the way |
