THE PASSING OF JOHN SHERMAN.

Throughout the land, among men of
all parties and shades of political be-
lief, there will be but one expression,
and that of sincrere regret, at the death
of Hon. John Sherman.
In public life for more than forty
five years, he was for generation a
notable and conspicuous factor in the
affairs of this country, and as Senator
and Cabinet minister he welded great
influence, and through his personal ex-
ertions CAD much to shape the laws and
policies of the Government. He was
typical American statesman, and as
such was not without ambition for high
er places than those he so long and so
ably filled, but as in many another
case, the coveted goal of the highest
office in the land was not reached. But
disappointing as were these failures
to grasp a broader opportunity, they de-
tracted nothing from the value of his
public services, and until the last he
was held in the highest estimation, even
by those not of his political faith.
1t was not until just before his resig-
nation from the Mckinley Cabinet, in
April, 1898, that any failure of his great
mental grasp became apparent and even
then there was a conviction in the
minds of many that he was forced to
give up his Office, and that disinclin-
alton to wholly coincide with the views
of the President was, the real cause of
his retirement from public life. For
two years and half he was incon-
spicuous as public character, but love
and respect foC him was still manifest
in the popular mind, and now that he is
dead, a myriad of kind words will be
spoken of him, and many tribute paid
to innate honesty and conspicuous
worth

Keep your county and State tax bills
in mind when you go to the polls two
weeks from to-day. Your taxes this
year will be higher than ever before,
and they will not decrease, but increase,
so long as the present officials of their
twin brothers in policies and purposes
are maintained in power. The city ard
county ring are hand in hand in
policy of high taxation and extrava-
gance, as has been amply demonstrated
in the past three years, in number
of ways. With an approving vote they
will feel authorized to go ahead With
unwarranted expenditures. Turn ev-
cry man jack of them down, and let
us have a return to an economical at
ministration of public affairs.

REPUBLICAN FALSE PRETENSE,

Special to the Register
CHICAGO, October Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, has replied TO many attacks
which have been made upon William j.
Bryan recently. Republicans have de-.
clared that Mr.. Bryan. ii elected Presi-
dent, would ARBITRARILY nullify the law
which makes gold the standard of the
United States money. They have also
declared that if Mr.. Bryan was elected
he would pack the Supreme Court With
Democrats aid Populists. Senator Jones
says:
1T has been the fashion for the Re-
publ!cans for some years TO denounce
Democrats as anarchists. revolutionists,
etc, but all fair-minded men will admit
that at this time the Republican party
seems 10 have monopoly of revolutions
airy suggestions We see a Secretary of
the Treasury in an effort to disturb the
business of the country for political effect,
suggesting that Mr.. Bryan, In case of
his election, would deliberately evade the
law. with a purpose as unstatesmanlike
and unpatriotic as his own in making
these suggestions. Fortunately Mr., Bryan
has been before the public long enough
for every one TO know that tricks and
false pretenses are not among his weap-
ons, and suggestions of this kind excite
contempt.
But worse than this is the fact that
other men who should despise such pre-
lenses affect to believe that in case Mr..
Bryan is elected he will pack the supreme
Court for purposes of his own. Can Ii be
possible that the men themselves actually
contemplate such revolutionary methods
in case Mr.. Mckinley is elected? If they
do not find this danger in their own minds
it is difficult to conjecture where their
distempered imaginations find a pretext
for it.
II repeat that there is nothing In any
Democratic utterance upon which this
false pretense of fear of attack upon
the Supreme Court can be founded. The
construction put upon the expressions
in the Democratic platform of 1896, which
were perverted and misconstrued as
basis for such charges. was unwarranted
and untrue No such purpose has ever
entered the mind of any Democrat, but.
on the contrary, the leading idea with
Democrats everywhere is to return to the
principles of the Constitution of the
United States and to faithfully administer
the laws as written"

'CLINES TO co UPON RECORD
The Register repeats its warning to
the people: LOOK OUT FOR FRAUD.
TILE GoyERNOR,S bad nREAK,

THE Wv EnNOn > DAD DHEAns
The more one thinks over the recent
remarks of Governor Atkinson in re-
gard to the Kentucky convictions of
men implicated in the foul murder of
William Goebel, the more atrocious
they appear. They were expressions
without excuse or palhation, and cannot
be defended upon any ground. The Gov
ernor of lnis State has publicly gone
upon record as not only not regretting
the reign of terror in our neighboring
State, but by fair inference favors its
continuance, because he objects to pun
ishment for those guilty. His assertion
that there was an absence of due pro-
cess of law is untenable. If such a
thing had occurred-which 1t did not
there would be the right of appeal to
the higher Court, and finally to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The rights of the defendants have been
and are amply protected, and the strict
forms of law have been complied with.
Yet this does not suit Governor At
kinson, who appears to be perfectly
willing to condone political assassina-
ton. and to stand ready to defend the
acts of w. S. Taylor, through all his
regrettable and unlawful course, from
the time he attempted to convene the
State Legislature in the mountains,
where his partisans were in control,
up through the uncalled for ordering
of armed men to the capital, the muir
der of Goebel, the granting of pardons
to those implicated, and his final flight
from the State a fugitive from justice,
and his continuance in Indiana, where
he hides behind the coat-tails Of Gov
ernor Mount.
This stand by the Governor of West
Virginia Is upon a par with his grant
ing of pardon to a Parkersburg muir
derer, and his publicly expressed be-
lief that that particular criminal was
justified in his act-an expression
which startled the country and pro-
voked deserved criticism.
Governor Atkinson appears to have
an abnormal capacity for making an
exhibition of himself. He should curb
his desire for notoriety, and recollect
that, whatever his individual views may
be as to the merits of the plan of re-
moving public officials by ambUscade,
he is the Governor of State, and that
his high office should be held in re-
spect.

CHAIRMAN DAwsoN,s SILENCE.

If anything were needed to convince
the public that the party in power il
this State intend to resort to fraud and
corruption-or at least to wink at it
when accomplished in its interests-it
is afforded in the remarkable failure
of Secretary w. NJ. o. Dawson, of the
Republican State Executive Committee,
to reply to or even acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the letter addressed to him by
Chairman James H. Miller, of the Dem
ocratic Committee, asking his cooper"
alton in the detection and punishment
of frauds upon the ballot.
The letter addressed to Mr.. Dawson
was printed in the Register of yester-
day morning, and is here reprinted n
full:

being made that each party is intending
to perpretrate frauds on theday of cleo

that yourself and the undersigned take
such action as We can TO prevent the
taking of illegal ballots and insure
fair and honest count and election. AS
one means to This end, propose that
we offer a reward Jointly, such as en-
close to you, Offering a reward for the
arrest and conviction of violators Of
the ELECTION law. l shall be pleased to
have an early reply from you, and hope
you may concur in this proposition.
Il further agree and suggest that we
urge upon all election officers and vot-
ers the Importance and absolute neces-
sity for an honest ballot in this State.
l shall very cheerfully JOIN with you
in a circular letter of this character to
be mailed TO each and every officer in
the State.
This matter of an honest election
should be impressed upon the people,
encouraged and not discussed.

nEMocRATIC COUNTY TICKET
HERE WE HAVE IT.

Republican speakers and papers at
tempt to ridicule the imperialistic issue
raised by Democracy, and assert that
there is not only no such thing, but no
tendency in that direction on the part
of the present Mckinley administra-
ton in short, that the whole matter
is a sort of political scarecrow, gotten
up for the purpose of frightening the
people.
: OF course the great majority of the
people of the country know how to
appreciate this plea of not guilty
They have had plenty Of substantial
evidence of'the exact truth of the DEM
ocratic assertion and contention that
the country, under the present admin
Istration, is drifting away from the
.time-honored and essential principles
Of the republic, and they know full
we'll that another term of McKnleyism
would bring this tendency to an I'M
republican form of. government to such
point that the people would be vir-
9ually powerless to compel return to
Did principles.
The imperialistic issue is not q fic-
lion. 1t is a solemn fact, and one
which, above all others, impresses the
people with a steadily growing danger
10 their liberties That it really exists,
and has the support of administrative
friends, the following extract from the
Des Moines, Iowa, Globe will show.
Here is the deliberately expressed opin-
ION Of the Globe:-
1--WE believe it is better and will be
safe: il we admit that practically we
have passed the period when this
country can or will safely remain re-
publican in form
Again the Globe blurts out this
opinion
= For long time thinking people
who have large commercial interests
have felt unsafe with our present form
of government and now is good time
to do away with our obsolete constitu-
ton and adopt form Of government
that will be logical with expansion
ideas and give ample protection to cap
ital."
