the Democratic machine in Kentucky.
which Bryan has publicly recognized
and indorsed, will give It's consent;
therefore we expect Kentuckys elec-
toral vote to be stolen. One other
state conceded to Bryan may go to
Mckinley. This is Colorado. Four
years ago 1t gave Bryan 1S4,ss2 plural
ity in a total vote Of 1886. TO ex-
pect nearly half the voters of the state
to vote opposite in 1900 to the man.
ner in which they voted four years
ago is to expect the most extensive
reversal Of public opinion ever noted In
American politics; but there has been
reversal most extraordinary. 1t may
not swing the state out of the Bryan
column but 1t will come mighty close
to 1t. If Colorado f,ops. Idaho and
Utah will be likely to do likewise but
the chances in those states now seem
to favor Bryan.
To predict on congress Is made haz-
ardous by the many local factors Of
uncertainty in the various districts
which only those on the ground can
fully appreciate. But careful tabula-
ton which we have made on the basis
Of the best information obtainable, II
tabulation on conservative lines, indi-
Gates a Republican majority of twenty
over all opposing elements. This COM
putation rests upon the supposition
that in districts like our own. where
efforts are being made by few men
claiming to be Republican to defeat the
regular Republican nominee and turn
the Office over to the Democrats. the
good sense and party loyalty Of the
Republican masses will see that the
president Of their choice Is not exposed
to the humiliating embarrassment of
having his hands tied by a hostile ma
jority in the incoming congress.

Hanna.

YIN ONE OF the magazines this
month there is long article
Il analyzing the character and car
eer of the man whom the Demo.
Gratis seem to hate with peculiar and
exceptional intensity, Mark Hanna.
1t is an interesting human nature
study which all intelligent persons
ought to read If not before election,
then certainly after.
And this brings MS to the point OF
saying a few words of our own on
the subject of Hanna. 1t is undeniable
that the prejudice which exists against
Hanna, while mostly of Democratic
origin, has entered considerably into
Republican thought. particularly
among those who do not get near to
the man himself hut see him only
through the distortions OF lippant
newspaper treatment and carcature.
The conception of him as pig-headed
plutocrat reeking with the coarse in
science of money without brains is
grossly unfair and untrue but 1t has
undoubtedly been widespread.
Bnt 1t is disappearing. People are

4 LITTLE common sense
~ should teach every think
- ing man how dangerous
Bryan's Philippine policy
would be if applied consistently and to
its logical conclusions.
Because Aguinaldo and his crowd Of
Tagalog intriguers have stirred up a
rebellion against American authority
and have been shooting down our SOL
diers as we'll as terrorizing the natives
generally, Bryan says: Elect me ana
1 will call an extra session Of congress
and have it send word to our army to
come home as fast as possible and let
Aguinaldo and his gang run things in
their own way. There must not be
governed.
Now suppose Bryan was elected and
congress had done what he said. Our
army is out of the Philippines and
Aguinaldo is going it alone, the only
pebble on the shore. Some smart fell
low up in Alaska. noticing how Aguin-
aldos trick worked, gets together lot
of Esquimaux and adventurous mining
camp followers and says to them:
Boys, If we stir up an insurrection
and show Bryan that we don't consent
to being governed by the United States
but want to set up a government of
our own he will be bound to let us go
as he let the Philippines so, both ter
ritory having been bought, paid for and
occupied by the American army with
out soliciting the consent of the gov
erned." What would Bryan do?
This is a fair comparison. The
Alaska supposition is on all fours with
the Philippine situation. Insurrection
is insurrectlon wherever our flag floats.
Surrender to the enemy is surrender,
no matter in what language it is dis
gused. The logic of Bryanism in this
matter would snap asunder all the
bands of stable government and throw
open wide the door to secession and
dissolution Of the Union.

A Predictions.

" 7 HAS NOT been The Tribune's
custom to indulge publicly in
l. prediction prophecies although
the forecasts which it has made
privately have been uniformly close to
the truth. In 1892 it came. within one
state of predicting Cleveland's elec-
toral strength, being fooled on Minne-
sofa; and in 1896 it came within two
of forecasting correctly the electoral
majority for Mckinley. But this year
it is going to make it's private estimate
public as follows:

AS the mine workers are entitled
to semi-monthly pays If they choose
to demand them. and as they have
unanimously agreed throughout the
Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys
that they will present this demand, it
would be q gracious thing on tho
part of the operators and an action
that would tend to help along the
pleasant, harmonious relations be-
tween operator and miner, which both
sides and the general public join in
hoping for, IL the demand was an
ticipated by notices announcing that
hereafter payments will be made semi
monthly. We are authorized to say
that Mr.. Connell stands ready to COM
ply with this request at any time 1t
is made; and we note with pleasure the
decision of the Temple Iron company
to concede this point without further
delay.

Tionesta was again defeated in an
eleven-inning game with Pleasantville,
on the latter's grounds last Saturday.
Tho game started with Tionesta at the
bat, and there was lively, close work for
an inning or two when Tiones;a began
forging ahead. At tho end of the 5th in
ming the score stood 70 in favor of Ii
nesta, in the seventh Pleasantville
scored two runs, and in the eighth by
the merest accid ant, brought in another,
tying the score. The ninth and tenth IN
nings resulted in goose eggs for both
teams, but in the eleventh Pleasantville
got man TO first by allowing the ball to
hit him, and by lucky hit by one of the
other play ers, the runner came home,
