BrYanism in 1900.

Hanna, Payne, Scott, Dick, the men
whose business it is to keep close
count on the political pulse, are not
viewing the approaching presidential
campaign as an easy walk-over for the
Republican party. They have conf
dence in the result, but they do not
hesitate to say that the management
must neglect no opportunity for ad-
vantageThat feeling is what lies back
of the agitation over the vice pres
idential nomination. The leaders do
not want to let the selection of the
candidate for second place go by de-
fault at the last hour of the conyen-
tion. They do not think 1t wise to
leave this matter to the convention
without previous full discussion of the
merits fthe men mentioned and gen.
eral expression of sentiment through
out the country. The desire is to get
the man who will add most strength
to the ticket in all sections. Mr.. Han
ma wishes the Philadelphia contrlbu-
tion to the national committee treas
ury made available now, so that the
literary part of the campaign may be
put in motion, and run at high pres
sure for three months before the con-
Ventfon meets. Because the nominal
tion Of Mr.. Mckinley is assured the
Republican managers do not conceive
that they have nothing TO do until
midsummer. Long conferences are
held almost daily at Republican nat
ional headquarters and at Mr.. Hanna's
house Such activity nine months be-
fore the election is perhaps without
precedent, 1t means a realization by
the leaders of the struggle to which
the country has not yet awakened |
On the ether side there Is manifesto
tion Of confidence by Democrats which |
is unaccountable. Strange to tell, the |
danger to Republicans and the hope |
of the Democrats is on the Atlantic |
seaboard this time. Eastern Demo- |
Gratis regard the approaching passage |
OF the gold bill as practically a settle
ment of the silver issue, no matter
how much Western Democrats may |
make of it for campaign purposes, and |
they will not be in the position of pas
sive antagonism to the party that they |
were in 1896. The more intelligent |
gold Democrats have left their party |
for good. The rank and file and the
politicians who sulked four years ago
will be for Democratic success in the
East the coming campaign. There is
no mistaking the exultaion of Bryan
since he has been among these East
ern Democrats the past two weeks.
Organism is still dangerous Every
leader here says So
Glc,be Democrat.

COUNCIL
In Session Only Eighteen Minutes
Tuesday Evening,

The regular meeting Of the Marietta
City Council was held last evening.
The following members were present;
Blume, Curtis, Gossett, LofTiand,
Marsch, Storck, Strain, Wood.
The meeting lasted only eighteen
minutes, eight of which were occupied
in reading the minutes of the two pre-
ceeding meetings.
Building permits were granted as
follows; Henry Albrecht, Third street;
Susan M. Athey, Highland street;
William Weiss, Front street.
Engineer Mason reported that no
work had been done on the Putnam
street bridge the past week.
No report was received from En-
gineer Holmboe, in charge of the
building of the electric light building.
The committee appointed on the
messenger service ordinance asked
another weeks time, which was grant
ed.
Another week was allowed the com
mittee making arrangements for the
fire protection of the West Side during
the building of the Putnam street
bridge.
Strain brought up the matter of the
relaying of the Second street switch
by the B. & o. S. W., saying that it
was in violation of the terms of the
franchise granted by Council recently.
He made motion that the matter be
referred to the railroad committee for
investigation.
Wood said that he had had more
talk with railroad people than any
other member of Council, and was in
better position to understand where
they stood in this matter. He stated
that the removal of the track was one
Of the terms of the franchise, but that
the franchise would not be in effect
until 1t was legally tested by the
courts, and that the railroad company
mad held that they had the right to
keep the switch open until the fran
chlse had been passed on by the
courts. He said that if the franchise
was held good, he would guarantee
that the switch would be taken up,
even if he had to do it himself. The
motion carried.
Blume stated that there wculd pos
slbly be meeting called for Wednes-
day night and said that there should
be a full attendance, as an ordinance
for a bond issue would be introduced.
The following bills were allowed and
Council adjourned:

GAMBLING DISCRIMINATION.
Chinese Players Always Arrested
White Players Go Free.

Four Cinnamon were arrested Sun
day night and taken to the station
house charged with gambling. In the
Police Court yesterday morning Judge
Wilcox made short work of their cases
and fined them $40 and costs each for
violating the law, certain sections Of
which were read in Court in English;
but the tenor of them was not translat-
ed to the bewildered offenders. Evil
IDENTIFY the winnings of the previous
nights game were in the possession OF
the four men. for they promptly paid
their fines and went away.
The testimony as given by the police
showed that they had opened up their
game, presumably poker, in a room at
the top of house, barricaded the doors
and otherwise endeavored to keep the
knowledge of the game from all outsid-
ers. Some one gave the men away and
he police soon had them in the patrol
wagon. The stakes were not large but
the men were gambling.
Meanwhile. as showing the superior
| immunity of the noble white man from
arrests for gambling, several poker
games are going right along in public
resort in the heart of the city.

JOKES ON THE GOVERNOR.

Governor Shaw doesn't mind telling
a story on himself now and then.
While passing thru Chicago the other
day he talked to a Times-Herald re-
porter and told him that he had been
the subject of some funny paragraphs.
"One reporter" said Governor Shaw.

man, another said my clothes didn't

went unwillingly TO the front. and re-
cites how n regiment had to be
handcuffed in Waterford after throw

other regiment went to Cork and pull

cheered for the Beers. She says her

BEET SUGAR

The proposition to grow beets at a
profit, even if Ottumwa does not Sc.
cure a factory, should be seriously
considered by CUR farmers, and the
experiment tried by as many as posi-
BILE. The general run of land produces
about $50 worth OF heels. ard the ex-
pense does not exceed $50. The prop
osition Of the Iowa Beef Sugar Devel-
oping company is certainly worth
investigating. If what is claim
ed for it is true the farmers of Wa
'pello county stand an excellent chance
OF securing a market for a new prod
uct, while at the same time they do
not take many chances of loss. III SUI
gar beets can be profitably grown in
Iowa the farmers of Wapello county
want to know it, and they want the
market for them situated at the CAPT
tai OF their w county. If another
big industry can be secured for OF
tuna without the outlay of a large
amount of money in business the peo-
pie of Ottumwa are greatly interested.
They want that factory and will give
the proposition of the Beet Sugar com
|pany careful consideration.

WHAT KENTUCKY NEEDS.

Mr.. Watterson and Senator Black
burn think the Gocbel law a boomer
ang n are urging its repeal. Mr.. Wat
terson points out that the democrats
lost thousands of votes because of it.,
and that no party would dare tc cham
pion it.. But he is troubled about u
substitute. He has jumped to the con-
~clusion that the Australian system, of
| which the Goebel law is a monstrous
distortion, is no good, and he wants to
go back to viye voce voting, but is not
entirely blind to the fact that this an
cient method under modern conditions
| would open the door to widespread
corruption by enabling the purchasers
of votes to see that goods paid for
were. delivered. Between wholesale
bribery and the "strong-arm" methods
of counting out OF throwing out duly
elected candidates it would take a
skilled casuist to choose. kentucky
would resort to the one as readily and
unblushingly as she has resorted to
the other, and no mere legal device
can protect her from herself if she is
bent on mischief. This is indicated in

to it that are absent in states where
decency is in the ascendant and where
the system has assured honest cleo
tions or made fraud difficult. The
fault is not with the system but with
the politicians, and the same crew that
has made ''Goebelism' a synonym for
the most shameless political robbery
would hardly stop at SO innocent a
thing as bribery. And as for Mr.. Wat
terson's pet %bugaboo, the Louisville
and Nashville road, what chance would
the star-eyed goddess have against its
Vaccinations and millions? No won
der the Courier-Journal is troubled.
If Kentucky really wants to be as
honest as Mr.. Watterson would have
it, why doesn't it equip. itself with
voting machines, and assure itself an
accurate vote and an honest count:
For not even the most consistent de-
yotee of Goebelism could falsify or
manipulate the returns of one of these.
u~ltra-honest and strictly non-partisan
devices. 1T is. probably the only remedy
that would be Of the slightest use in
Kentucky.

M VIEW OF DUTY.

Dubuque Times: The Rev. DR.. Shell
don believes that Jesus if editing the
Topeka Capital today would: 1. OPP
pose the wal against the Filipinos as
one of injustice, aggression and un-
patriotism. .. Oppose annexation and
the general policy of expansion. 8. In
argurate a crusade against the social
ed joints" 4. Declare for the reform
of the stage. ). Discard from His pa
per all patent medicine advertise
ments. &. Insist upon editing the adj
v~ertisements with as much freedom as
He would the reading, even as to their
size, position and date of publication.
Z. Discard all sporting news, such as
prize fighting, but devote special at
~tention to manly and womanly ath-
letics. S. Discard all police courr news
and everything of a scandalous charac-
ter, as we'll as all criminal news. Q.
peka. which would seem to require the
papers attention, print the barest
possible account Of the tragedy and
devote ample space to moralizing on
the case. 10. Take no part in the dis
cussion of local, state or national politi-
cal issues.
There are men of experience and ca
pacity in the newspaper business who
honestly differ with DR.. Sheldon on
nearly all these points. The founders
of this government would have differed
with him. They attached SO much i'm
portance to newspaper discussion of
public policies, and SO highly valued
the newspaper as a means of preserving
the liberties of the people, that they
provided in the constitution for a free
press. They opposed the insurrection
OF b aborigines as we oppose that of
the filipinos today; they expanded.
Since their time there has been a
growth of sentiment against the
joints and a growth of experience in
dealing with them, experience which
has proven the wisdom of restricting
them with laws which require no
crusaders for their enforcement.
In the other matters to which Dr.
Sheldon alludes it is more difficult to
prescribe the rule, but it is not difficult
to find newspapers which perform a
more valuable service to the public
than would any journal, however
s%crupulous in other respects, which
would exclude from it's columns the
discussion of issues in local, state and
national government. Whoever pro-
poses such a thing loses sight Of the
newspapers origin and mission, of the
reason for it's existence. 1t was found
ed not to spread scandal, which oecu-
patton belongs to the gossip, nor to
develop spirituality, which is the mis-
sion of the church, but to relate pub
lie occurrences and to discuss public
| policies, 1t lependS for it's justification
not SO much on its ability and enter
prise as on it's sincerity in the treat
ment of public events and public ques-
lions. As a permanent institution 4
newspaper without opinions on public
questions would neither acrieve success
nor deserve it.

There are two presidential tickets al
ready in the field, and several more are
to be put in in the. next few months.
The social democrats, whoever they
are, nominated Debs for president and
a man named Job Hartman for vice
president the other day in Indianapo-
lis. About a year and a half ago, or on
September 6, 1898, the radical branch
of the populists put Donnelly and
Wharton Barker in the field for presi-
dent and vice president respectively,
lat a convention in Cincinnati. The two
present sections of the populists will
60 thru the motions of nominating
some person or persons on May o, one
of the branches meeting at Cincinnati
and the other at Sioux Falls, Dakota.
The republicans will meet in Philadeel-
phia on June 10. and the democrats in
Kansas City on July 4. Several other
parties will also put up candidates.
There is no reason to suppose the sup
ply of national tickets this year will
be any smaller than it was four years
ago.
