YoUNGsTOwN WANTS TALENT.

Our Columbus dispatch Of even date
makes rather significant statement as
showing the feeling Of Republicans to-
ward the leaders of the party in this
state, when 1t says that the Republl-
cans Of Youngstown have requested
Chairman Dick to assign Governor
Roosevelt, Congressman bolivar and
Senator Depew to speak at the Repub-
lican campaign opening at Youngstown,
at which 1t had been arranged for Gov
ernor Nash and Senators Hanna and
Foraker to speak. One would think
that three such celebrities as the latter
named gentlemen would satisfy al
most any set of Ohio Republicans were
it not known that a large majority Of
the Independent Republicans are not
bursting with enthusiasm and admi-
ration for this trio of administration
Foraker was the ideal of this discord-
ant element, but since he has gone over
to the enemy to save his own toga, his
erstwhile followers have the feeling that
usually goes out toward Benedict
Arnold. They feel that when they re-
organize 1t must be with some new
leader, who has more loyalty and less
fire alarm. That the request evidently
came from the dissatisfied element is
evident from the selections made, espe-
cially in the request for Roosevelt, who
is becoming altogether too prominent
and whom Hanna is trying to suppress.
1t might not be pleasant for Hanna,
Nash and Foraker to sit upon the plat,
form at Youngstown and listen to the
applause for the rough rider, but that is
the medicine they will have to take
If Teddy gets there with them. But
1t would be like finding money to bet
that Dick will not grant the request un-
less the pressure becomes too great.

WILL GET rAYLos YET.

Caleb Powers has been found guilty
and Governor" Taylor again quakes in
his shoes and lunches up closer ia
Governor Mount, of Indiana, the only
state executive, probably, in the United
States, who would openly and brazenly
defy the law and public sentiment by
harboring a man accused of murder.
The Powers trial was conducted as
fairly as any trial was ever conducted
anywhere. There was nothing in the
proceedings that had the flavor of
prejudice and there was nothing in the
conduct OF the court or in his rulings
that would indicate any degree of un-
fairness or prejudgment. The evidence
that was adduced on the trial was suf-
ficient to convict any man, including
Governor" Taylor. Ex-Governor Brad
ley and any others, had the same evi-
dence been produced against them.
Taylor was frequently mentioned dur
ing the trial and to such an extent that
the prosecution OF the murderers or
Governor William Goebel are more than
ever anxious to get him. But, there
are so many in the conspiracy that the
courts can afford to reserve Taylor to
the last. There are enough Republi-
can politicians accused of the cowardly
crime to keep the wheels of justice turn
ing till another governor of Indiana is
elected and then Taylor win have no
place Of refuge. The people of Indiana
feel the disgrace that has been thrust
upon them and are going to change
at the first opportunity. To
wipe out the stain on the
fair name Of their state they are go
Ing to put a Democrat in the executive
chair.

SHARKS LAND PORTO RICANs.

The establishment on August 1, Of
American money as the official curren-
cy In Porto Rico, has caused much suf-
fering and loss among the farmers and
poor persons throughout the land. On
August shop keepers and merchants
announced that they would accept only
American money. and prices on nearly
everything advanced. The United
States treasury agents have continued
to exchange Spanish silver for Ameri-
can money at the formers full face val
ue, but most Of the people In the interior
did not know this fact and they had to
give up their Spanish silver to mer-
chants bullion value. At the same
time they have had to purchase goods
at the new gold rate. h r
Educated urban residents have not
suffered much by the change. as they
kept well informed concerning the priv
ilege of exchange which. has been in
definitely extended. but the countrymau
Is being steadily beaten by clever mer-
chants, and as a result there is an in
creasing feeling Of unrest and denupci-
alton OF the American administration.
1t would seem to be the governments
business to protect these people from
the money sharks that have followed
the Americans everywhere and who are
said to have had ample assistance from
the appointees of the government at
washington. What with money chan
gers, the ioiicisi thievery and the tariff,

LONDON WANTS M'KINLEY.

One of the first utterances Of Con-
gresham Grosvenor, the "mouthpiece
of the administration" with the accent
on the mouth, when he returned from
Europe, was: IT am confident that the
president will be reelected. The
sentiment in London Is almost unani-
nous for Mckinley" That Is the re-
port of the interview the Cleveland
Leader carried Sunday, and is the
gist Of the argument for the Republl-
can party this fall. The people Of
London want a Republican victory. But
what about the people of the United
States? We knew there was a great
leaning toward everything that is
British and monarchial during the
present administration, but we hadn't
beeH informed before that the polling
places were to be opened in England.
We know that Mr.. Hanna came back
some time since and said that England
had better government than ours,
but we didn't know the time for dicta-
tion as to whom the American people
should elect president had entirely ar
rived. But, If England is to vote, Nc
Kinley will surely be elected. They
would be ingrates indeed If they didn't
show some appreciation for the assist
ance he has rendered in the attempt to
crush the liberty out Of the Beers. And
then he would doubtless get a fine
majority in payment for that strip Of
United States territory he turned over
to Great Britain as the result Of John
Hays fine diplomacy. The fun Of
running the Nicaraguan canal while
the United States footed the bills. would

Railroad Employees Kick Against the
Horizontal Cut in Wages at the
Shops.
The new schedule of prices for piece
work recently posted at the shops is
extremely Objectionable to the employees
several of whom have sought and ac-
cepted positions elsewhere.
The men say they cannot make wages
sufficient to keep their families. The
list hung up in the planning mill is said
to be very marked in its cuts In some
articles the price Is cut more than 90
per cent and there is a great reduction
along the whole line.
Said a planning mill employe: ION ar
ticles that used to make $2.25 a day, I
can make but $1.05 under the new
schedule, and have to work very hard
to even do that. / would willingly nc
cept any ordinary class Of work at $40
per month rather than attempt to make
living at the shops under the present
schedule"
The dissatisfaction among the men is
said to be quite general.
Thus the great love of the Republican
party is explained by this action. II

WILL GET THE VERDICT THIS FALL.

The Alliance Leader takes occasion
to quote from the News-Democrat's y
presentation of the cost of the war in
the Philippines and the array of figures
backing up each assertion, and adds:
When this terrible affair is over and
the people look at the matter from a
non-political standpoint, they will unite
in saying that our government has
made one Of the most stupendous blum
ders in history. All are not ready for
the verdict at this time, but 1t will not

Caleb Powers issues a card in which
he says he is much abused and discus
ses the question Of election frauds.
Powers was not being tried for election
frauds. He was being tried for murder
and was found guilty. There were three
anti-Goebel Democrats and one Re-
publican on the jury and it took but a
few moments for them to agree unani-
mously that he was guilty. Cards ad-
dressed to newspapers will not get him
out of the penitentiary.

suspect that It issthat very fact that
makes 1t quite certain that Mckinley
is not going to be elected this fall. It
may be arranged, despite Mr.. Grosven-
or and Mr.. Hanna, for the American
people to do the voting, after all. This
will interfere with Republican plans
somewhat, but great many people
over here think it is safer. Still the
plan Of the Republican managers is
only preliminary. They are first to
establish the empire and then of course,
will consult somewhat among other
monarchies as to who shall occupy the
throne they have erected. That is the
way it is usually done across the pond.

WANT CHINA NOW.

Now that the legations at Peking
have been relieved, the administration
is beginning to hedge. Personal organs
are beginning to declare that what is
really wanted is an open commercial
relation with China but If the dismem-
berment of China can better bring this
about, then the United States will be In
favor of that. Here is what Secretary
Hay said, in joint note to the powers.
July.3:
The policy of the government of the
United States is to seek solution
which may bring about permanent
safety and peace to China, preserve
Chinese territorial and administrative
entity, protect all rights guaranteed to
friendly powers by treaty and interna-
tional law, and safeguard for the world
the principle of equal and impartial
trade with all parts Of the Chinese en-
pire.
That was the official declaration. But
we have learned that official
declarations and official actions are
very different under the present ad-
ministration. For instance there is the
"plain duty" to the Porto Ricans which
Is coupled 80 closely with the tariff az
to have become unrecognizable. Then
there is criminal aggression" that has
put on the cloak of benevolent as-
similiation." Then there is the history
Of the war with Spain, which we enter
ed with the disavowal Of any inten-
tion to grab territory. Everyone knows
the result and everyone knows of the
betrayal Of friends and allies who aided
that they might obtain their liberty.
So 1t is not strange that. in the first
great Joy at the relief Of the Americans
in China. the people should be regaled
with glimpses Of Imperialism. Already
the hungry fellows want slice of the
territory that It would take thousands
Of men and mints Of treasure to hold.
Here is the way 1t is persuadingly stat
ed in the Cleveland Leader. Mr.. Han
mas personal organ:
The chief aim Of the United States
is to secure an open commercial field
in China. II conditions should be such
that this object could not be attained
through the preservation Of the en-
pire, but in another way more practic-
able. then this government might not
oppose the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the ma.
| ton. There viii be no haste
on the part Of this government to
withdraw from China now.
There It il in 2 nutshell. There is the
argument Of the imperialist. 1t doesn't

y A Republican club has been formed in

WHAT Ic MEANS.

Some time ago the Pennsylvania com.
pany exhibited the premonitory symp
toms of corporation that desired to &c
into politics. At the reunion Of its vet.
eran employees at Cleveland this year
Superintendent Scrivens told the mer
that If they would do as their employ
ers desired they would vote the
Republican ticket. At the time OF the
building strike in Chicago the company
took occasion to lay off some of its EN-
ployes and went to the trouble to send
a man to Canton to tell its employees
that the reduction of the force was due
to the wicked labor organizations Of
Chicago causing trouble there. Nbt
long after this the Psnnsylvnia compa-
ny announced that the Democrats were
in a wicked conspiracy to induce the
employees of the road to strike. Every
action demonstrated that the we'll
known policy Of corporations that love
the Republican party SO desperately
would be followed In due time and the
following from the Wellsville Union, a
paper published where one of the Penn
sylvania shops is located, demonstrates
1t. The Union says:
