THE ORGAN At ITS WORST.
washington Post.

Washington Post.
Thoughtful men OF all parties and geo.
graphical sections will not fail to be inn
pressed, and very disagreeably, by the
comments of the eager, tail-wagging, SUI
perserviceable little Republican organs on
such men as Richard Oney and William
L. Wilson. who have declared themselves
for Mr.. Bryan as against Mr.. Mckinley
in the present campaign. 1t seems to be
impossible for these newspapers to under
stand that gentleman of that or any other
class can be inspired by unself1sh and pure
motives. Incapable of high aspirations
themselves, they measure others by their
own standard, and. naturally, find moth
ing but sordid and ignoble motive at the
bottom of every act.
Mr.. Olney did not dwell in an atmos-
phere of affection during his term of office
at Washington in the second Cleveland adj
ministration. He was not the sort of man
to inspire affection. He did not seek and
did not want it. A strong, self-contained
and forceful man, he was content with
the approval of his own conscience, and
acted without a thought of popularity or
a dream of loud applause. 1t was plain
that he cared nothing for public office,
or the cheap and tawdry pleasantly at
tending 1t. He compelled the plaudits of
the very newspapers that are now assail-
ing him, and in 1896 with Cleveland, Pal
mer, Buckner, etc. he was lifted to the
skies upon the wing of their hysterical
adulation. Doing what he thought was
right at that time he received the plaud-
its and acclamations of the organs Act
ing on the same principle now, he be-
comes the target of all the inspired scorn
and subsidized reprobation that can be
procured in the journalistic market. The
same is true of Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, a
modest and retiring gentleman. a scholar.
student an honest, conscientious citizen.
He has spoken not in the same terms but
to the same effect, and he is now receiv-
ing the same vulgar abuse and vile dspar-
agement in consequence. In the philoso-
ply of the professional organ there is no
hypothesis Of honesty or patriotism or
virtue that does not bear the party stamp.
We do not believe that this coarse and
raffish defamation will harm its victims
any more that it will help its authors
and procurers. The gentlemen we have
named stand high above suspicion or re-
proach. They are not in search of gov
ernmental favor. They would scorn 10
barter their opinions or their service. No
honest man suspects them of base mo-
tives. No collared henchman, barking at
their heels. is worthy of moments no
tice. But the exhibition disgusts all de-
cent-minded men, and is doing the Re-
publican ticket serious injury in their
eyes.

PARkHRSBUR, w. va, September
1.-THE visit of Senator EIkins to
Parkersburg has developed the fact thar
he is not satisfied with the work of
some OF the conventions, ana his trip
to the Ohio valley at this time is for
the purpose of amending the work of
some OF them. Perry Nicely, who was
nominated for the Legislature by the
Republicans in this county, and whom
they tried TO count out at the time OF
the primary. but who refused to be-
counted out and stuck to the ticket, is
one OF the intended victims 1t is said
that Nicely is not only weak in the
county and can hardly hope to be elect
ed, but also that he is not particularly
stuck on Mr.. ElkinS, and If elected
might refuse 10 support him for ths
Senate. Or course IN a gnaster Of that
kind Mr. Elkins is naturally Interested
and it is not to be wondered at that he
should spend TWO or three days here
attempting TO straighten out the mat
ter and get man on the ticket whom
he can rely upon and whom he can have
some hopes of electing,
Tyler county Will receive his atten-
ton on Monday, and o. w o. Hardman
will be induced TO withdraw from the
ticket, on which he is candidate for
presidential eleetor. Hardman Is no.
toriously weak in Tyler county and sew
eral efforts have already been made TO
induce him to withdraw. our ne also re-
fuses to withdraw. 1t is said that Elk
ing has twice written 10 aim asking him
to withdraw and that he positively re-
fuses 10 90 so.
The Republican nominee for the Leg
islature in Tyler county is not accept
able to Elkins either, and an effort will
be made to induce him to withdraw.
Clint Moore, popular Republican, re-
ceived two letters from Elkins before
the nominations were made, urging him
TO take the nomination for the Legis-
lature and stating that if he would do
so the campaign should not cost him a
cent. Moore refused and man named
Lowry was nominated. The visit OF
Mr.. Elkins at this time may change his
mind, but it Is thought it VIII not.

Inconsistency of womankind.

Preston, Kansas. Plain Dealer
A woman will yank up the guy ropes Of
her corset until she almost squeezes her
immortal soul out of place and put dead
bird on her hat and go strutting around
over town selling tickets for an entertain
ment to raise money to help send mission
aries to China for the purpose Of teaching
civilization TO the poor heather who have
never known what 1t is to wear a>-1prset.
and who have been struggling on in ignor-
ant belief that birds were created TO sing
instead of to be worn on hat.

ROoSEVELT,S ACCEPTANCE.


In his letter of acceptance of the Re
publican nomination for Vice President
extracts from which are published this
morning, Governor Theodore Roosevelt
ley. He pleads the Republican cause
in many words, but to little purpose
He has a great deal to say in attempt
ed justification Of the imperial policy
of the present administration, and in
the course of his discourse upon this
subject so embarrassing to his party,
remarks:-
The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what is now be-
ing done in the Philippines is exact"
This is mere assertion. There is no
proper parallel. The Louisiana pur-
! chase was purchase of CONTIGUOUS ter
ritory, just as the Gladsen purchase in
the far southwest was, and was legiti-
mate expansion. 1t extended the ter
ritory of the United States from the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico to the far
northwest, rounding out a compact
country, and making possible our pres
ent greatness through affording homes
for our ever increasing population and
for desirable immigrants from other
lands. The acquisition of the Philip
pine Islands, with their motley crew of
semi-civilized and wholly wild natives
| of many tribes was very different mat
ter. 1t was not legitimate expansion.
and cannot be successfully defended
from that standpoint.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in attempting to draw
! his parallel, says there was no local
self-government in the territory ac-
CURED through the Louisiana purchase
| for many years. That is true OF all the
United States, outside of the original
thirteen States. Territorial govern
ment is a well recognized feature Of our
system. but pro-consular goyernment

Modern Young Men Too Finicky.

memphis Commerclal-AppeaL
The young men Of to-day are too fnicky
too much given to self-anaIysis, too self
pampering. Their shoes and neckties cost
more each year than did the whole ward
robe OF their grandfathers. They feel a
sense of degradation in small beginnings
and plodding and they wait for success
ready-made to come TO them. The young
man of to-day wants capital Trusts and
combines and corporations distress him.
He cannot be president of a bank or Judge
of court the first week he is from

Republican party and his own administra-
ton are again made the source Of all the
blessings which the people enjoy. The

Taking Their Cue From Washington,

AIIdHtd JOURNAL
The theory Of imperialism is being APP
piled very practically in Idaho. The arbi-
trary use of United State authority and
United States troops against the striking
miners at Couer dAlene has been followed
by outrages of similar character on the
part of the State government. The miners
at Gem were holding a meeting recently
when a State deputy forced his way into
the hall. walked UP to the secretary's
desk, seized the papers and records lying
there and took them away.
