Speculation Rife as to G. G. Cs.
Coming Candidate for
Legislature
is 1t CR0VAqq OR FRANKLIN f.?
One Has Good County Position and the
Others Name is Being Much
Discussed by Voters.

In regard to rumors to the vfreci
that Mr.. A. L. Franklin a been nom
irA,ed to make the rs q for III l gis-
l.,ure BY meeting Of Good CIV
ernment cub men on saturiiyl =, a
prominent member of that order stated
to Times reporter yesterday that 1t
was a mistake. He said that no few
men of the G. G. or would get to-
gether and try to name officers, but
that in response to a call now run
ming in the ,ity papers, a meeting OF
the club and its supporters would be
h'ld on Friday next, at which the en-
tire attendance viii participate in
nominating candidates for he yaripu-
omoss.
Pol'tio.l gossip is rife a. to who WI
he the G. G. e.. candidate for repre-
sentative Considering that former
representative Emanuel does not
want to go back, the most talked Of
men are MEAL FtAnkIin and Judge
A. j. Crovatt, but in view of the fact
that the Good Governments have as
one Of their cardinal prircip'os that
public patronage should not practical
ly all 20 to one man, and the further
fact that Mr., Franklin has been well
favored in this respeot, 1t is probable
he viii not allow hi. name to be used
in connection with the office. Ex
pressions from Judge osoyAtt are
hard to get, as be seems to be too deep
ly sngro'ssd in his clients legal af-
fairs to talk politics.
1t may be that Mr.. Emanuel will
run again, but Straws now point to
the popular Judge. For tho otl er Of
fees there will probably be renomi-
nation of those now holding, but until
the representative is named the poll
tioanS and public will be on the guess

FALSE PRETENCES.

1t is beginning to be made clear that
William Mckinley owed his election TO
his pledge OF international bimetallism,
which held enough silver Republicans
in line to insure his election. In his
recent annual message he comes out
for the absolute gold standard, thus
manifesting his deceit and duplicity in
1896. Congressman Champ Clark of
Missouri, in the debate on the currency
bill, said:
He not only recommends it, but he
urgently recommends. The chances are
a thousand to one that had he uttered
that sentiment in the campaign Of 1896
he would not now be in position to
send message to congress and there
would be no gold standard congress to
receive it. II was the pledge in the st.
Louis platform to secure bimetallism
by international agreement that landed
him in the White house. So says Hon.
John NJ. Thurston. Republican senator
from Nebraska. The pledge Of an inter-
national bimetallism held enough sill
yer Republicans in line to give the
election to Mr.. Mckinley"
By what subterfuge Mr.. Mckinley
expects to be reelected in 1900 nobody
seems to know. but even the devil has
a'persuasive way Of quoting scripture
which deceives the children OF light,
and II is presunable that some great
fraud, or fake, will be dressed I'D in
attractive colo-s like circus posters to
draw the crowd. Forestalling an evil
is better than repenting for its exist
ence, and political evil must be fore
stalled. This is an occasion when the
personnel Of Mr.. Mckinley Is involved.
and he is too much mixed up with
grievances that go to the destruction
Of the public welfare to make him a
desirable candidate on any platform.
He would betray every plank n he
were told to do so. and his encourage Is
of that suspicious character that COM

Fatal Consequenees.

BE careful how you invoke a force
that may destroy you." says a writer,
whether It be the force Of electricity,
the force Of habit or of appetite" For
ward tells Of two chickens who in
voked a power unconseiously. The
other night all the electric lights In
q certain city suddenly went out, and
after a minute came on again. Pretty
soon an odor like that of an over.
cooked dinner filled the power-house,
and on examination it was found that
q couple Of chickens had stolen in and
gone to roost on the main wires. All
went well with them until Chanticleer.
who was perched on one wire reached
across to give a goodnight kiss to his
dear Biddy. on the other. The moment
their bills touched the current Of thou
sands Of volts was short-circuited
through their bodies, and the kiss end
ed in a lightning fash and burnt

REASON FOR SUSPICION.

There appears to be grave reason
for the suspicious Of the Kansas City
Times in referring to the great
bank. the National City bank,
which Is to receive all OF the govern
ments internal revenue receipts, max
ing a clear profit of about $4,000 900
out Of the fund. Added to 1t is the
other suspicion anent Mr.. Gage resign
ing his present office as treasurer of
the United States and taking upon
himself the presidency OF that new
bank in which are Hanna, Rockefeller.
Morgan, Sloane, Mccall, Schiff and
others. Yet" says the Times, why
should not Gage, at the beck Of the
president, AFFORD them the opportunity
of manipulating the millions Of reve-
nue. taxes, wrung from the people for
the purpose Of promoting the growth
OF militar,sm and pro scouting the plan
Of imperialism now in process Of de-
velopment in the Philippines? Have
not these men given freely OF their
money to the Hanna slush fund, by
whose potent hocus-pocus William /.
Of Asia and America was chosen to sit
on the throne? And. shall our noble
executive be recreant to the trusts
which elevated him? Shall he prove
ungrateful to his benefactors? Shall
he not so distribute his favors that no
worthy and contributing plutocrat
shall ever become impoverished?
This bread which he now commands
his secretary Of the treasury to cast
upon the waters win return to him be-
fore many days, when the presidential
campaign begins to warm up. Then
will the coal oil trust and its moneyed
following throw into Hanna's slush
fund a liberal percentage OF the mil
lions that Cages philanthropy has de-
lfyered into the vaults of the big bank
ing institution owned by the Standard
OIL magnates, trust monarchs and rail-
way barons. who are the main bene-
fieiaries and chief owners of RepubIi-
can prosperity and sole proprietors of
prosperity's advance agent"

NO CAUSE FOR GRIEF.

Sc the trusts are on the point OF
moving into Canada? That Is the report
and II bears the impress OF truth from
the statement of a representative OF
the dominion government. who recent
ly went to New York to confer with
several trusts having their main otiices
in that city. Broadly stated, the rea-
son given is: Proposed antitrust
legislation and the rapid spread OF the
antitrust spirit"
I'VE despair" say the aggrieved
benefactors OF the public, "of obtaining
favorable treatment through the en-
actment OF federal laws, for the rea-
son that it would be necessary to
| amend the constitution of the United
States before this could be done"
This is certainly deplorable condi-
ton. but il the trusts will possess their
souls in patience, Mr.. Mckinley, should
he be reelected. will at least attempt
to secure an amendment to the con-
stitution which will give the trusts
more latitude. At present he Is doing
everything in his power to accommo-
date the trusts by overstepping the
constitution. But the downtrodden
trusts go on with their declaration OF
grievances.
We are harassed and subjected to
petty annoyances in various states,
and by obtaining national charters
from the Canadian government We
would free ourselves from state in
reference, and could be sued in this
country only in the United States
courts"
Here is a threat that unless the peo-
pie of the United States totally sur
render to the grasping monopolies they
will go to Canada and put themselves
beyond the reach of any interference.
What a commentary upon the servility
of the federal judiciary What an apt
illustration of the encroachments OF
McKinleyism. which is another name
for American imperialism, II is the
same subterfuge, deception and de-
fusion. as McKinley's attitude in favor
of silver. In a short time the Repub-
lican press will be dampened with
tears at the wicked trusts, and holding
up the good and benevolent trusts for
our worship and to get votes. Does
any one suppose that a single trust
will move to Canada to avoid the anti
trust spirit? Not as long as Mckinley
is president and Mark Hanna his chief |
counselor. The more one thinks the |
matter over. the more he is persuaded |
that it is one of Mark Twain's witt
cisms.

American FeudalIsm.

Napoleon destroyed the old feudal-
ism, which was the slavery of the ten
ant to the owner of the soil. Then he
established in its place a military
aristocracy and the feudality Of the
sword. Our Napoleon has discovered
a new feudalism which the Los An
geles Herald thus defines:
1T may with equal truth be said
that, to the aspiration in this country
for equal opportunities to earn a live
lihood and a comfortable competency,
capital has replied by creating cor
poratiOns, syndicates, trusts and mo-
nopoly, 10 shut the door to competi-
ton and to hold a position through
which the class OF dependents can be
enlarged and the labor OF the masses
exploited. Instead of feudalism based
upon land ownership, the country is
rapidly becoming subjected to the feu-
dalism OF money.
The policies of the government, IN
observed by the masses, but not the
less surely, have promoted the growth
and maintenance Of capitalistic feudal-
ism. Unless the trend in that direc-
ton is speedily checked the system will
become absolute and irremoyable.
Through the increase OF dependents
and Of political corruption capitalism
seeks to become the feudal lord Of the
nation"

II scatters them in our midst, and we

Of it Anent this new disposition TO

OF the truth. the Louisville Courier
Journal is a living example and a
warning.
During the past twenty-nine months
there has been an international trade
balance in our favor upon the mer-
chandise and gold movement OF ST.
100 900 900. or about 1892 900 900. To
this must be added silver exports OF
s25, 000, 900 yearly. This produces a net
apparent value of considerably over
81 200, 900, 900, but this is subject 10 the
invisible movement of exchange in
volved in the payment OF interest
abroad, freight charges, travellers ex-
penses. and so on.
How much OF this has been settled
by the return of our securities from
abroad We cannot say. The amount
is large. but it cannot be figured out
with precision. Beyond question the
debt to uG is large, and as We are in
creasing our merchandise exports and
only moderately adding to our i'm
ports, there is no chance that we shall
become embarrassed even by the loss
of 4O,OOO. 900 or s5O,O0O,O0O on this
movement"

We are a debtor. and paying our debts

CURRENT TOPICS
SOUTH AFRICA.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

Almost the only news allowed to
come regularly from Ladysmith
through British sources relates to the
rayages OF enteric fever. the intestinal
disease that follows a defective food
supply and insanitary conditions. Ac-
cording to the bulletin the deaths from
the disease in Gen. Whites force for
the six days preceding the battle Of
last Saturday were thirty-three, and
on the latest day reported numbered
ten. When the British public finds the
war Office bulletining this news and
nothing else they are warranted in
taking it as an admission of the grave
II not desperate situation Of Gen.
Whites army. No doubt hundreds of
his men are down with the fever, and
all must be reduced in health by the
siege, which has now lasted ffty-five
days. The strain throughout has been
far more severe than ordinary service
at the front. Indifference may be bred
as to the frequent rain Of shells, but
the utmost vigilance is necessary, es-
pecially at night. Much Of the time
must be spent in trenches or burrows.
RatioEs lack variety and freshness, for
nothing comes from the outside.
Long ago the men ran out Of tobacco,
which. next to food, is a necessity to
the soldier. He can exist without it,
out IN q state Of constant discomfort.
