he severely denounced the Shipping Subsidy bill
now before Congress. Mr.. Warner said:

ASSES AND CANDIDATES.

Mark Hanna's local organ alleges
that the Honorable Thomas Kearns
and Captain Charles E. Loose have re-
Gently been treated to a vision of asses
and senatorial candidates. Inasmuch
as these gentlemen have been hobnob-
bling at Philadelphia with the widely
known editor of our contemporary,
have been boosting the editors sena-
toriaI candidate into a national COM
mitteeship and have sat as delegates
III Hanna's convention, we are free to
admit that they may have seen both
asses and candidates, A spirit of fair
ness, however, would have prompted
this contemporary to present its plans
and specifications in greater detail. It
should have drawn a line between the
asses and the candidates, and showed
upon which side it placed its widely
known editor and in which class the
new national committeeman was found
This story of the asses was printed as
a defense of the course of two silver
mine owners, who have been made to
believe that 60-cent silver is better
than S1.29 silver, and are therefore
boosting the gold standard. Such a sit
uation surely justihes some reference
to an ass.

ing the last few years are raw materi-

Of power. less coal is used than former

view of the coal famine which is COM
pelling most European countries to buy
coal abroad.
The gold standard is causing some
trouble, owing to a scarcity of money
with which to carry on business. And
wages, which advanced so rapidly from
1894 10 1898. have been stationary since,
on account of the extraordinary de-
mand for gold aud the shortage caused
by the South African war.
On the whole, the empire has pro-
crossed rapidly during the last six
years, Notwithstanding recent checks.
