MORE ARROGANCE.

The Register InlS Auo4 Hlu6 Sif0'
space. on this page, to communlca-
ton of the ST. H. N" stripe, from
correspondent who pretends to be I'M
DER the impression that we will not
print his remarks.
The Register is glad to print that
sort of thing, once in while, to show
the steady drift of Republican 1ntol-
erance and arrogance, and to demon
strate the Republican party idea that
everyone who does not think with that
organization is damned. a d..
"W. H. R." like ct H. NJ" cannot
rise above that plane wherein rests
condemnation, criticism and insolent
epithets for those who are unable to
agree with them as to the
conduct of the public affairs
of this country, or in the for
eign policies of the present admins
tration. He who dissents, in the eyes
of "W. H. r. is unworthy of respect.
He must necessarily be depraved, de-
graded. degenerate and unworthy the
consideration of those gifted, perfect,
thrice blessed, infallible and almost
immortal creatures who, standing in
the full brilliancy of that light which
radiates from the all but throne at
Washington, are the sponsors, apol-
ogists and defenders of the every act
of an administration which has repeat
edly shown its utter contempt for the
Constitution and the traditions of the
republic-except when the blame can
be divided with somebody else
The grain of wheat in the mass of
chaff submitted by our correspondent
is contained in the excuse that Presi-
dent Mckinley concluded the bargain
with Spain, by the terms of which we
paid $4,000 900 of American money for
the Philippines, because William Jen-
nings Bryan went to Washington and
used his powerful influence to induce
the Republican Senate of the United
States to ratify that treaty, and fur
Their. that as it was ratified by the Sem
ate, President Mckinley simply carried
out its terms.
This is pleading the baby act with
a vengeance. Was not President Nc
Kinley a free agent? Had he no in
fluence with the Republican Senate of
the United States? Did he sit silently
in the White House while that arch
traitor William Jennings Bryan,
worked his reasonable and disloyal
works in the chamber of the Senate
of the United States of America, and
then, with Mr. Bryan as the alleged
responsible man, deliberately set to
work to carry out Mr.. Bryan's abom-
Unable plot? BY all the gods. this puts
William Mckinley, President of the
United States, by the grace of Mark
Hanna and trust contributions, in
new light, and the change will doubt
less be welcomed and enjoyed by Re-
publicans throughout the country.
And 80, William Jennings Bryan was

The "syndicate President

New York World.
Where does Mark Hanna turn when he
starts to raise the enormous campaign
fund which he warns his supporters is
essential to the election of Mr.. Mckinley?
Does he go to the people? Not at all! He
goes rather to the full money bags which
have been made rotund by Mckinley
bounties, Mckinley subsidies, Mckinley
contracts and Mckinley benefits, contribu-
tons from which are not merely tithes
from favors received but the expression
of lively hope of favors to come. What
word can more accurately describe a Pres
idency obtained by this means, for these
ends, than that employed by Mr.. Olney-
"a syndicated presidency"

The news comes from Shenandoah,
Pa, that on Sunday night many of
the State troops were drunk and dis
orderly, that they had to be quieted,
and not the miners, and that guard
houses were all full of intoxicated men
in uniform. These soldiers, sent to
enforce order, set beautiful example
for the strikers.

growing fear that the Democracy is
going to capture the State for William
Jennings Bryan, as well as majority
of the Legislature, and there are not
wanting indications that the State
management, under the direction of
Senator Elkins, will sacrifice the Pres
idential ticket to save the Legislature,
that Mr.. Elkins may succeed himself.
1t is doubtless true that the Repub-
Mcans are worried, but worrying will
do no good. The Democracy is making
gains in every portion oflthe State, and
is forcing the fighting. Every day
brings its accessions of former Repub-
licans and gold Democrats of four
years ago, while the old-time members
of the party were never better in line.
Republican apathy, so marked that one
cannot help notice it, is confronted
by Democratic enthusiasm, and not
even the Importation of thousands OF
fraudulent voters can save the State
to Mckinley.
The trouble with the Republicans is,
the people don't fancy their admins
tration this year. They decline 10
enroll themselves into campaign clubs,
they won't attend the meetings in the
old-time crowds, they refuse to con-
tribute to campaign expenses, and
little later they will refuse to vote the
party ticket Right here in Wheeling
and in all the Panhandle counties,
in fact, there is apathy with big "a.
We are now within six weeks of cleo
ton day, and there is not an uniform
ed club within fifty miles of Wheeling,
despite the most desperate efforts TO
form organizations, there has not been
a parade, and there are no indications
of one, while the few Republican meet
ings held-and they have been very
few-have been thinly attended and
devoid of enthusiasm, although the
weather has been good for outdoor
demonstrations. The people have no
interest in the matter, and they Ut
terlv refuse to be enthused. All pos
sible pleas alike fall upon dull ears,
and the party leaders see the sltua-
ton steadily going from bad to worse,
without the power to apply remedy.
The Republican press is full OF space
Killers" double-leaded articles, cor
respondence from National and State
headquarters, interviews, STATISTICS ana
wild appeals, but the effect is nil. IL
all falls fiat, and is stale and unprofit-
able.
The people are dong their own
thinking this year. and in November
will vote without needing the attempt
ed dictation of Republican bosses.

PUT HIS FOOT IN 1T.

Hanna is explaining" again. He
says he didn't say there were no
trusts in existence, but that there were
no trusts within the meaning of the
law"
Well, now. The Republicans brag
about having enacted an antitrust law
and loudly proclaim that theirs is the
only party which ever formulated such
a bit of legislation. Despite that law
the trusts have grown like mushrooms
until they monopolize about every
thing in sight
The inference is that the so-called
antitrust law was carefully framed so
as not to hurt the trusts, for we have
them with us, on every side. 1t fol-
lows that Hanna's explanation that
there are mo trusts within the mean
ing of the law rests upon the conces-
sion that it is very lame law, or that,
being a good and sufficierk Statute, it
is not being enforced.
1t is in order for Mr. Hanna to ex-
plain his explanation" for the people
will scarcely be satisfied with what he
has said about what he said he said.

with the argument that he ought to
be satisfied with bucket full OF cold

STEAMER ZELAND|AN
 Ab[E ID PROCEED Pulled Off the Rock But Slightly Damaged.
WATER IS NOW RISING
Chief Clerk Young Tells the Story of the Bailey's Exciting Trip and Newspaper Dealer West Recites That of the Nora.

The steamer Zealandian. which on Tues> day struck rock in the White Horse rap ids and sunk until the water was over her guards, was yesterday safely gotten off. and after some temporary repairs was able to proceed on her way to Dawson.
 "The Zelandian," said a man who ar rived Tuesday night from White Hcrse, struck just after she had passed out of Box canyon and was entering Squaw Rap Ids. She went on rock right in the mid de of what appeared to be the channel She immediately swung around with her stern down stream. The Bailey. it seems, passed within few feet of the hidden rock a few days ago."
 The steamer belongs to the Canadian Development Company. branch of the ] White Pass & Yukon IaliIoau. one was launched but few days ago and is one of the gnest boats on the Upper Yukon. She was built by the John Irving Navigation Company, which was absorbed few days ago by the railroad company.
 A soow laden with so cattle is said have also run on a rock in the rapids few days ago.
 The steamers Bailey and Nora made the run through the rapids safely last week. It is five miles through. The Bailey backed water at places and at other places raced under full head, and was so minutes completing the five miles. The building of the railroad below White Horse makes it unnecessary to have so many steamers on the lakes, hence several large steamers are being taken to the river proper
 Traffic Manager Irwin received informa, tion that the water is now rising, and he thinks it will be but few days before all the large steamers are running, He leaves for White Horse this morning to staI tn. enormous piles of freight at that poiht on its way to Dawson.
