THINK; THEN VOTE RIGHT.

If, before the Spanish war, the Amer
lean people could have forseen that
two years after its end we would still
be holding Cuba by the neck and main
tanning 5000 men ten thousand miles
away in a war waged for spoils, ag-
erosion and oppression, pure and sim
pie, America would have allowed Cuban
and Spaniard to fight it out until
doomsday. A conflict ostensibly grow
ing out of a desire to aid Cuba has re-
suited in nearly three years fighting,
the expenditure of half a billion dol
lars, and foreign ENGAGEMENTS of which
no man can see the end. 1t is time to
call a halt, and the people will do it
when they go to the polls.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

The Cabinet has been routed at every
point, as well as the kitchen cabinet, and
also the Ohio whoopers up of a Western
man. Long, Bliss and Dolliver are all
buried, probably forever, under Roose-
velt's most natural prowess and popular
ity.--George Alfred Townsend, in Phila-
delphia Times.
Yes, and had it not been for the in
reference of the bosses, Roosevelt's
natural prowess and popularity" with
in his party would have swept Mckinley
the creature of Mark Hanna, off his
feet, and he would never more have
been heard of. The survival of Nc
Kinley is simply due to the consum-
nation of a deal. in which he had no
voice, but the parties to which elected
to save him that he might be used if
possible, later on. That tells the whole
story.

Hanna,s Fight ON roosevelt.

Washington Post.
The Post has never been an admirer of
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. 1t appraised
him at his real value years ago. We be-
lieve that Senator Hanna, in doing his
best to prevent Roosevelt's nomination
for the Vice Presidency on the score of
his general unitness for the place, has
served his party we'll. Roosevelt is
wholly undeserving of the honor. And in
antagonizing Messrrs. Plat and Quay,
Senator Hanna was justified by the fact
that the New York-Pennsylvania coali-
ton was VIGOROUSLY founded upon sell
fish partisan interests, and not prompted
by genuine regard for Roosevelt himself.
or faith in his availability as a national
candidate. AS the leader of the admin
istration forces-as the tried and true
friend of the President-Mr. Ham was
clearly engaged in a laudable effort in
seeking to prevent the convention being
used to further the ends of the New York
machine. At the same time, he endeav-
ored with all the strength at his cong
mand to force upon the delegates the
knowledge-the ~fact-that Roosevelt is
an unsafe man, who would be a danger

Prosecuting Attorney o. w. o. Hard
man, of Tyler county, is out in a card
in which he gives a last warning that
Sabbath dissertation in that county
must stop, and wherein he calls upon
all good citizens to take notice and
give such reliable information as will
lead to the arrest or indictment of
everybody who insists upon violating
the law" He also quotes from the Code
of 1891, page 100, wherein it is made
"the duty of every officer of the coun-
ty to notify the prosecuting attorney
of the violation of the penal statutes
or laws" What if this practice should
obtain in Ohio county?

IMPRACrIcABLE SUGGESTIONS.

The New York Herald is nothing If
not eccentric and impracticable.
1t is o calling upon President Nc
Kinley, in double leads, to withdraw in
favor of Governor Roosevelt for first
place on the Republican ticket, and in
the same breath it asks Mr.. Bryan to
retire as a candidate in favor of Grover
Cleveland.
Neither idea is sane, nor have either
the slightest prospect of accomplish
ment. Mr.. Mckinley would as soon
think of giving up the ghost and retir-
ing into the solitude of a dank and dis
nal tomb as of surrendering his crown
and scepter to another. He would not
be permitted by his managers to do SO,
even if he had such an impossible
idea.
On the other hand the Democratic
party would no more set aside Bryan
for Cleveland than they would chose
Mark Hanna as counsellor and guide.
Mr.. Bryan is in touch with the people.
He is not only a Democrat, but a demo-
GRAFT. He is patriotic, li~berty-loving,
with an ambition to aid substantially
the masses of his fellow countrymen.
Mckinley is a Republican of the latter
day school, but not a republican. His
whole tendency is Numerically oppo-
site to that of Mr.. BRYAN. His course
is away from the masses Of the people,
rather than toward them. His ideas
are not those of the patriotic Ameri-
can, but decidedly those of the ruler of
subjects, swayed, however, this way
and that by those who called him to
power and who maintain him in place.
The Herald ideas are impracticable.
Mckinley is the one candidate. Mr..
Bryan will be the other. The country
must choose between them.

THE DELEGATES WERE o IN 1T.

If there was eve a boss dominated
and boss ridden political convention
in this country, it was the late inane,
impotent, helpless and inconsequent
Republican gathering at Philadelphia.
1t neither had a mind or a soul of its
own. 1t was insipid, dull, dreary and
dispirited. 1t had no more to do with
the selection of the ticket or the compo-
of circus monkeys. 1t made a brave
showing as to numbers, but that was
all, and the thousands who crowded
the hall as SPECTATORS, expecting to see
something worthy of the expenditure
OF time and trouble, went away dis
appointed and disguised. There was
an Introductory address by the tenn
porary chairman, written long before
the delegates left their homes. a set
oraIion by Mr.. Lodge, a characteristic
opera bouffe %harangue by that WORKOUT
Jester Chauncey Depew, and that was
the sum and substance of it. Nobody
paid any attention to the reading of
the platform. There was no enthus-
iasm worthy of the name. no effort on
the part of the delegates to assert their
pr~erogatives and transact their own
business. A more pitiable exhibition
of inanition was never given. The
shadow of the triumvirate of bosses
was over the entire gathering. and
when the three had agreed upon what
was to be done, it was as good as ac-
complished, for NO voice was raised in
protest, and no member OF that vast
body, representing a supposedly great
party, had the nerve to either oh
ject or suggest. Even Roosevelt. pro-
testing that he did not want the nomi-
nation, and supposed to have a mind
OF his own, was compelled to surrend-
Ell at discretion and do the bidding of
the master minds, for had he not his
political career in New York would
have ended then and there, and he
\ would have been retired to obscuritv.
Hanna, Plat and Quay settled every
thing, the first being compelled to

THE DEFEAT OF A BOSS.

The more you think of it, the more
apparent it becomes that Mark Hanna,
the boss of the first magnitude, the
head and front and brains of the Re-
publican party-the man who steers
the machine-who has been used to
see things happen when he waved his
hand-was compelled to haul down his
flag at Philadelphia and beat a retreat
to save his political pet, William Nc
Kinley. Plat, MANNED by a broken rib
and i'll besides, and Quay, almost ex-
communicated, smarting under the de-
feat he sustained in the Senate, COM
bined in an attack upon the mighty
Hanna, forced Roosevelt upon him, and
compelled as ignominious a surrender
as is on record in the annals of Amer
lean politics. The Boss has been boss
ed. He is no longer pre-eminent, trans
cendant or omnipotent. Mortals a
look upon his face henceforth and live.

same expectation of its being accepted,
as tina Of DR.. Stathers was last year,
and to all appearances for the same pur-
pose; namely. to quiet an ever increasing
personal fight.
The reason advanced for the removal
of these men. as well as Boyers at Buck
harmon, by the foremost of the oppose
ton, does not discuss the ability of these
men, but emphasizes the statement that
they are unpopular among their subor-
dinates, or have not treated their as
sistants as they should. We cannot see
that this is just cause for removal.
Another thing hat makes the case look
blaeker is the fact that, whenever you
find a man opposing the present admins
~tration, you find one with a personal
friend whom he wishes to see succeed
the present incumbent
We don't have a cent in II one way or
another, but the fact remains that affairs
of these three institutions are in a de-
plorable condition, and it is plain that
the reputation of the three men working
hardest for their welfare will sooner or
later be sacrificed. not TO please the OPP
position, but for the SAX of harmony,
and the general relief and welfare of the
public.
We are of the opinion, however. that If
a knockout blow is not given at the same
time to those who hav created the dis
turbance, future years. even under a new
administration, will but see a repetition
of the past.

For meeting of the Epworth League
at Chautauqua Lake, the Pennsylvania
Lines will run special excursion, leav-
ing Wheeling at 7:30 a. m. Thursday,

9:15 D. m. and by leaving Chautauqua
at midnight, can arrive at Wheeling at
$50 a. m. This is the official route for

A TYPICAL

There are a good many things to
smile over in the Republican national
platform, but n of the most amusing
is the civil service plank. That pre-
cious document says in this regard:
I'VE commend the policy of the Re-
publican party in maintaining the eff
ficiency of the civil service"
Here we have the Quintessence of
gall and the acme of assurance. Ex-
pect the people to endorse that sort of
thing, in the face of the declaration
made at st. Louis four years ago, and
the subsequent acts of Mckinley.
Well, hardly! William Mckinley.
President of the United States, has not
only not maintained the civil service,
but he withdrew from its operations

personal purposes. and would have

An example of how the white Re-
publican loves his dark-hued political
brother is afforded in the case of A. w.
Harris, alternate from the Fourth Vir-
GINA district to the Philadelphia Con-
vention. Mr.. Harris is a Republican
leader in Virginia, and has attended
five National Conventions. When he
appeared at the Lafayette Hotel he was
Disseminated against on account of
his color, and when he protested he
was elected from the rooms of the
delegates. Negro Republicans are
simply expected to vote as they are
told. They have 40 rights.

No Native Need Apply.
Parkersburg Sentinel.

- "a . 1880
Has it occurred to the average voter
that the ring now running the Republi-
can machine in West Virginia is building
strong and stout fences against every ma
tive born who aspires to an office in this
State? Elkins, Scott, White, Hughes, all
of whom boast-do not merely assert, but
boast-that they are not natives of this
State. 1t appears that In all the length
and breadth of the State there is not in
the opinion of the ring a single native
born West Virginian fit to be their po-
litical associates. Unless the candidate
bears a foreign brand he is ineligible. If
he is not ineligible by law they make
him so by edict. Not only foreign birth,
but servility to the rings commands, are
necessary to a place in their councils and
a nomination to office.

Imperialism, endorses Mckinley, and
barely mentions the trusts-not
enough to hurt.
