beach in that inhospitable climate,
threatened with typhoid fever and
smallpox. The claims for miles along

land on the tundra. Even those who
took in great stores of provision and
miners supplies, with view to trade,
find the stock so large and competition
so keen that they cannot sell their

RESULTS AS THEY ARE.

The result of the election leaves the
country where 1t was before the casting
of the ballots. The Republican party
is in power in both branches of Con-
gress and in the Executive Mansion.
It's intentions as set forth in its plat
form are, briefly, to maintain the gold
standard, the Dingley high tariff law,
and to hold the Philippine Islands.
AS to the latter, however, the platform
is indefinite. 1t declares fthe largest
measure of self government consistent
with their welfare and our duties shall
be secured to them by law" So here
is room for development.
On the question of trusts, high war
taxes, civil service, ship subsidies and
imperialism as demonstrated IN the i'm
position of unconstitutional taxes on
Porto Rico, the record of the Repub-
lican party is known and is subject to
criticism. And there is danger that,
intoxicated by success, 1t may cast
aside it's conservative teachings and
traditions and plunge into radicalism.
It did this in 1868 and in 1872, and it
was this disregard of popular rights
which brought it to halt in 1879.
Because the ticket, Mckinley and
Roosevelt, has been Endorsed does
not mean that imperialism-for some of
those who supported Mckinley strong
est were It's intense foes-ship subsid-
les, and the annullment of civil service
were Endorsed. Thousands of men, in
the doubtful States particularly, sup
ported Mckinley, as the lesser of what
they conceived to be the two evils.
These facts should be known and i'm
pressed on the leaders of the Republi-
can party, lest they do that which in
iure the country. Patriotism comes
before part1sanship.
Such talk as that INDUCED in by the
New York Sun, that the Republican
victory is an Endorsement of Mckinley s
administration, will be too common
and should not be allowed to go unan-
swered. Conservative people, Repub-
Iicans andDemocrats, should unite to
warn theleaders of the party in power
that radicalism in no shape or form
will be tolerated.
