A MIGHTY CORRUPTION FUND
The Trusts VIII BE Let Alone so Long
an They Give Up to Mark
Hanna,

Never has the United States wit
messed such campaign for the pres
idency as that now impending prom
ises to be. There has in the past been
debauchery of the franchise, corrup-
ton of the peoples ballot, but not on
any such scale of magnitude as is now
being prepared for the coming cleo
tion.
In order to promote republican sue
cess campaign fund of $25, 600, 900
is to be raised, and how? BY the con-
tributions of the rank and file of re-
publicans throughout the nation? By
the voluntary offerings of those theor-
lists who see in republican doctrines
the essence of political wisdom? Not
at all. 1t will be collected from the
trust beneficiaries of the Mckinley
administration. Two hundred COM
6inations of capital, representing
So. 600, 100000, will contribute the
money. Mark Hanna recently came
out in an interview absolving trusts
from blame. They are doing no harm
and should be let alone" he said.
Soon followed the announcement of
the gigantic fund to be raised to
further Mckinley's candidacy. The
trusts will be let alone so far as
legislation by congress and prosecu-
tion under the law by McKinley's at
torney general go, but they will not
be ''let alone" by the illustrious Cleve-
lander until they have contributed
their pro rata of the corruption fund.
Think of what such a sum means
when improperly used. 1t cannot be
honestly utilized. Such an amount is
many times more than the most ex-
travagant manager of an honest cam
paign could spend. 1t is an amount of
money which, if divided among 75,000,-
900 people, the population approx
imately of this country, would give
each 33 1-3 cents. The usual reckon
ing is that one in five of the popula-
ton is a voter. Then this Hanna
campaign fund is great enough to
allow each voter more than $1.65.
Twice this amount $3.50, would be
available for each Oh the necessary
votes to gain a popular majority.
But the money will not be spent that
way. 1t will be put in large sums in
the doubtful and close states. These
will be purchased outright. If the
money was to be expended pro rata
in the country the Mckinley manag-
ers in Denver might reasonably ex-
pect a contribution exceeding $4,000
from the national committee.
In addition to the corrupt might OF
this immense sum, there will be an
other element in the campaign even
more reprehensible. It is the policy
of force and intimidation, employed
quite largely in 1896, and to be per-
fected in its workings this year. The
So, 900 ,OOo,ooO of capital, represented in
the campaign fund, will also contrib
ute to republican success by compel
ling the hundreds of thousands OF
men dependent upon them to support
the Mckinley ticket.
Democratic success may not be i'm
possible in spite of all the money the
trusts can throw into the campaign,
if only the vote is free and fair. But
if in the large manufacturing centers
of the close states intimidation of the
voters is employed successfully, there
can be but one result of the cam
paign. Mckinley will be reelected

A Difference.

One morning shortly after the trial
Of Rev. Prof. S for heresy, the sub
ject was being discussed at the break
fast table of one of his clerical friends
One of the boys asked:
Papa, what did they do with Prof.
S--?"
'They hung him." promptly replied
the six-year-old brother.
"Hung hiTn?" said the astonished par
ent. why, Edwin, what do you mean
They didn't do anything of the kind"
We'll, then, papa, what did they do ~
They suspended him."
s'Weli, that's what said, replied the
little fellow. Doesn't suspend mean
to hang?"-Philadelp Times.

Ghostly white as the shrouded dead

True hand at the throttle and hope ahead.

GREED MAKES THEM MAD.
Republicans Are Showing the World
Spectacle of Robbery and
ExtOrtion.

Republican Congressman Mccall, OF
Massachusetts,, splendidly justified
himself for refusing to vote with the
| party in favor of the bill imposing du'
ties equivalent to 25 per cent. of the
American tariff on goods imported
into Porto Rico from the United
States, or vice versa.
No honest and truly patriotic Amer
lean will deny that Mr.. Mccall is right
in denouncing this bill as unconsti-
tutional, and as denying to the Porto
Ricans the constitutional rights to
which they are entitled under our
form of government. They will agree
with him that the bill is a well-con-
sidered measure from a fiscal stand
point They will also agree with him
that its passage opens the W y for the
governing of the Porto Ricans as con-
gress may see fit, regardless of limi-
tations placed upon its powers by the
constitution. In other words, there ID
money in it for the syndicates, but it
is wrong in spirit and violates the
sound American principle of uniform
ity in legislation for all territory of
the United States.
II regard it as a most inauspicious
omen.' says Mr.. Mccall, "that our
first legislative act should be framed
on the theory that freedom does not
follow the flag. Is it not clear that
at the outset you are paving the way
for more hideous extortion and rob-
berry than ever disgraced India ?'
And again: 'If congress is not re-
strained by the limitations of the con-
stitution, but has the power to pass
this bill, then it follows that it has
also the power to pass ak post fseto
laws, bills of attainder, and to do all
other acts prohibited by the consti-
tuition, and the people OF Porto Rico
are merely subjects without legal
rights, and can only enjoy their lives
and property by the grace of con-
gress."
It is vitally imperative that tn.
American people shall see the signifi-
canoe of the course now being fol-
lowed by an imperial and trust-ridden
party. This wrong being done to tbs
people of Porto Rico is but the be-
ginning of CHASTITY sin in the line of
extorting tribute from conquered
peoples. We are more than following
the example of imperial Rome in thus
robbing our distant colonies" We
are going beyond the mark set by
the British empire in the looting of
India. We are showing the world the
sinful possibilities of a republic gone
mad with greed. And the shame of il
is that these things are being done
in the name of freedom and ciriliza-
ton. and that the flag under which
they are done stands for liberty and
is lovingly known by its people as
Old GlGy.-St. Louis Republic.

OF General John B. Gordon, who
lectures here next Wednesday even
ing, the Brooklyn Eagle says:
He told the story of Lees surrender
in a mastery and most effective man
ner. He briefly outlined the early
stages OF the war and rested the bur-
den of his narrative on Gettysburg
and Appomattox. His humor was
keen, his pathos affecting. Withal
his story was simply told. More than
one incident brought tears TO the eyes
of the audience. All the incidents
cited were illustrative of the spirit of
American manhood which pervaded
the ranks blue and the ranks gray.
Grant and lee were faithfully pictur-
ed. The closing scene Of the bloody
drama was splendidly presented. 1t
was tale inspiring to the young and
intensely realistic to the old.
