COmElRcent AssunDtion.

There is something almost laugh
able in Mr.. McKinley's wholesale as
sumption of credit for the prosperous
condition of the country. In his let
ter of acceptance the republican
party and his own administration are
again made the source of all the bless.
ings which the people enjoy. The
republican party-especially in its
earlier days-can point to much in its
history that is worthy of praise and
commendatiCn, but its amiable and
self-satisfed leader. Mr.. Mckinley.
really assumes too much when he
robs nature of the credit that is due
to her prodigal genera sity.-Kausas

backed cane-seat chairs. The only
article foreign to the room was a
birds'-eye maple dresser with an oval
glass. This was set diagonaIly of the
darkest and most unobtrusive corner.
yet it was the most prominent object
in the room. A carpet of Brussels COW

with rug, while there were sundry
knickknacks on the mantel and book
case and divers Autographs relieved
the paper on the wall. The alcove was
shut off by heavy portiers and was
terra incognita to Brownley, though
he had reason to know it contained
gas stove and surmised it might also
hide view of one of those folding in
dispensables to economical life in the
city boarding or rooming house.
Brownley and Mabel had long ago
discovered that their tastes were sim
liar, and having got safe footing
with each other had adopted a some
what bohemian manner of enjoying
themselves when together. Which ac-
counts for the fact that Brownley had
grown out of the habit of dining at
home Sunday evenings, and as a re-
suit usually took home with him con-

for his bombastic and egotistic ora
tory on any terms, but Roosevelt has
troubles in the west. The western
people are not to be imposed upon
by gingerbread hero.
AT Roosevelt's meetings there are
the ubiquitous colored men, who re-
mind him that colored regiment
saved the rough riders from annihila-
ton on San Yuan hill, and then there
is sure to be a shower of posters con-
tanning quotations from Roosevelts
books in which he shows himself the
narrow, conceited aristocrat, having
no real sympathy with the people
He has sent Hanna word that he
is tired of the west a j, wants to come
home, but, while he is losing votes
for the republicans, he is doing 1T in
states that will be democratic any
way, and Hanna doesn't propose to
let him help the democrats by his
foolish speeches in doubtful states.
Flaws in the Gold Standard.
The republicans are now industrl-
ously pointing out the flaws in their
gold standard law and asking to be
given another opportunity to fix it
up. They will get that anyway in
the coming short session of the Fifty
sixth congress, but if republican
congress and executive couldn't pass
a satisfactory gold standard law at
the last session, the bankers have
right to suspect that they will be un-
able to do so at any future time.

WHICH IS IMMEDIATE?
Justice, Honor and Duty Ignored by
Mckinley in the Interest of
Party Policy.

Maj. Mckinley declares that while
the Philippine issue may be parxrount
the silver question is immediate. He
therefore insists that the latter must
take precedence in the campaign.
Yet if Bryan should be elected, as
now seems assured, and by political
revolution both houses should be
democratic, at least four months must
elapse before Mr. Bryan could get SON
gress together to deal with silver or
with anything else. From November
7 until March 4 William Mckinley will
still be president
But meanwhile shall the "nigger"
killing still go on unchecked and un-
challenged in the Philippines? Shall
we keep in the field an army of 65 600
men and a great fleet of war shipa to
back up our wicked and baseless claims
of sovereignty over people who long
to be free? Shall we go on with our
criminal aggression, burning and slay-
ing and sowing havoc throughout a
stricken land?
Which is the immediate issue? That
of dealing with a question that cannot
be reached in half a year or that of
stopping a war that is destroying the
liberties of the Filipinos while under
mining our own?
If your house is on fire, which is the
immediate issue, that of extinguish-
ing the flames, or that of deciding on
plans for a new barn which you think
of building next year?
Imperialism is at once the para.
mount and the immediate issue. Mai
Mckinley, with all his stiffness and
all his SNUG hypocrisy, cannot dodge
or obscure it. The flag is being trailed
in the dust of his ignoble ambition
and the blood of our late allies, perfd.
iously betrayed, stains it's folds.
Shall we palter with standards and
ratios while American guns are slaugh-

Come Out for Bryan.

Republican managers in Ohio are
aghast at the continued desertion oi
voters from Hanna-McKinley ranks
From nearly every city and town in
this state comes reports of promi.
nent and influential republicans who
declare openly that they will vote
for Bryan and Stevenson and against
Mckinley, trusts and imperialism. The
following communication from a
prominent business man of Coshocton
is only one of scores of similar re.
ports from Mark Hanna's private
| bailiwick:
"Coshocton, O., Sept 10, 19OO.-Editor Ma
tional Democrat: l herewith send you the
names of few prominent republicans of
this city who are against Mr.. Mckinley in
this campaign because of trusts and i'm
perialism:
"Hon. Theodore Neighbor, a prominent
merchant of New Connorstown, and with
him more than 20 others. who declare they
will not vote for Mckinley this year Mr..

is to vote for Bryan.
Frank Ward, a wealthy rolling mill

straight democratic ticket in order to re-
buke the trusts, one of which closed our
mills and left him out of work
"Clyde Linn, Of the Twentieth Century

MARK HANNA A TAXDODGER.
His Sworn Statement 10 the Assessor
in His Home County in
Ohio.

A startling revelation has just been
made at Cleveland, which shows that
Mark Hanna, instead of being pluto
crat, is one of the poorest citizens of
the republic. 1t all came out through
the Office of the assessor of Cuyahoga
county Mr.. Hanna has made a sworn
return to this meddlesome official
showing that the value of all his per-
sonal property is only little more
than $4,000. This return makes Mr..
Hanna's tax bill for the year very
small and, as before stated, shows
that he is poor man. 1t is suggest
ed that if Mr.. Hanna continues much
longer to devote himself to the inter
ests of Mr.. Mckinley he will be
bankrupt, for it is well known that
when Mr. Hanna first entered public
life he was worth many millions.
1t is recalled that his first great
stroke of craftsmanship and act of
patriotism consisted in contributing
literally to the fund raised to pay
Mr.. McKinley's debts, which were ac
cumulated because confessedly Mr..
Mckinley was a statesman and not
business man. But this patriotic
act did not cost him much, according
to the statements of himself and his
lieutenants. Mr.. Hanna's living eX-
penses are not nearly so heavy as are
those of 20 or more other statesmen at
Washington who have acquired a
great deal less fame than has Mr..
Hanna. What, then, it is being asked,
has become of Mr.. Hanna's fortune?
1t is not believed that he put all the
money for Mr.. Mckinley in the last
campaign or that he has been draw
ing on his own bank account for the
presidents benefit in this campaign.
And yet Mr.. Hanna's sworn statement
recently made at Cleveland shows him
to be almost a pauper.-Washington

PRESS COMMENTS.

"A New \ ork capitalist predicts
a great panic if Bryan is elected. There
will be one all right, but it will be con
fned to republican officeholders and
grasping opolies.-Denver Post.
-EngIand's early American sys-
tenn of taxation without representa-
tion is powerfully indorsed by that
portion of President McKiniey's let
ter of acceptance which treats of our
rule in Porto Rico.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.
The few words which the presi-
dent devotes to the great subject of
trusts in his letter of acceptance are
discounted completely and in advance
by. the fact that in the three and one
half years of his administration he has
done absolutely nothing to arrest the
growth of these vast and dangerous
binations.-Buffalo Times.
Nothing which President McKin-
lev or any campaign orator who is
working for his reelection may say in
denunciation of the trusts can be ac-
cepted as sincere or genuine as long
as the republican party upholds pro-
lection, which forestalls fair competi-
ton and thus fosters all sorts of COM
binations against traGe.-Kansas City
Star.
Since eX-Secretary AIger has
consented to make a few speeches for
Mckinley, why not call in Gen. Eagan
from the Sandwich islands, or wher-
ever he is enjoyiI s his five years
vacation for Safeguarding Gen. Miles,
and get him to do a little talking?
His pay is going on all the time, so
he might do it quite cheap.-Phila-
delphia Times.
If the republican gold standard
legislation of last winter is good legis-
lation, if it does what President Nc
Kinley and his supporters claim for it,
in what way can the demand of the
democrats. populists and silver repub-
Licans be a menace TO the country?
If it does not do what its supporters
claim, why are they Dragging about it?
Have they purposely passed a weak
law so as to have the question an is
sue in this campaign gn?-Helena Inde-
pendent.

thought there was no use coming, so [

explained Brownley, with much cheer
fulness.
Perhaps it was the suggestion about
the other girl that caused Mabel to
change the subject, but in any event
they soon turned their attention to a
perusal of a newspaper and discus

Lenders Arc Disagree /.

Unless the republican leaders put
their heads together and harmonic
their arguments they will stand
good chance of not deceiving many
people in this campaign. Mckinley
declares that silver is the main issue
and that the battle of 1896 must be
fought over again. Roosevelt insists
that silver is not only an issue, but
the paramount one, which it would
seem ought to satisfy even q Montana

hand, Foraker says in his Yo1ngs-
town speech that all of the rep'lblic-
ans and half of the democrats are
opposed to free silver. but that Bryan
will try to force it.-Anaconda Stand"

In few minutes Mabel returned,
carrying a dripping umbrella. She
pumped down into the chair nearest
the door and gave way to peals of mirth.
Brownley looked at her in amazement
and endeavored to elicit an explanation
of the funny feature of the incident,
which he rather failed to see himself.

al'y time for luncheon drew near Ma bel
approached with evident Gffidence a
subject that several times before had
been the cause of arguments between
them.
Say, Charley" she asked, coaxingly,
"will you let me run up to the corner
aad get bottle of milk?"
"If you will let me go with you"
"But you are tired and I'm not and
can go quicker alone"
"What do you want the milk for?'
asked Charley. suspecting that she
wanted it only for him to drink,
knowing his preference for that fluid.
II want it to put on the pudding and
must have some cream for my tea" af-
frmed Mabel, evasively, adjusting and
pinning on her hat.
''Now, if you are going out to get
milk for me to drink, I'd rather you
wouldn't, for I'd just as soon drink wa
ter" replied Charley, suspecting the
subterfuge.
"Well, l wouldn't, and l must have
some cream for my tea. l won't be
gone five minutes. You stay here and
read the paper"
Won't you let me go with you?"
begged Charley.
