Grand Rapids, Mich. Aug. 15.-The

firemen Of both trains were killed as
well as five other persons. The ex-
press train was made up largely Of
Pullman cars. 1t was the finest train
on the road. 1t carried the Grand
Rapids coach, a day coach, several
sleepers from Cincinnati and the south
and buffet-breakfast car, and the bag
gage cars.

MKINLEY AND ROOSE-
WELT.

The Hatchet doesn't deal
largely in politics. 1t tries to
steer 'twixt Scylla and Charyb
dis on5all religious and polit-
ical and religious questions.
Not that it hasn't pronounced
convictions and positive opin-
ions, but does not care to be
drawn into discussions of either
the one or the other. Here are
two individuals-plain citizens
of che Republic-nominated by
acclimation to be President and
Vice President. Now, good
people, what are you goiAg to
do about it? Is it to be a change
of administrations change
of policy Shall chaos reign
where now order, peace, pro
gression and prosperity hold
sway? The lament of the sweet
Psalmist of Israel was, "My
people will not consider" but we
have to deal with q thinking people,
a people who can and do reason from
cause to effect with wonderful facil~
ity and unerring judgment. The
mere men, Mckinley and Roosevelt,
who head the ticket, are not mas
tiers. They simply represent large
body of men who mean that certain
measures of government shall be car
ried into effect. And you are asked
to ratify by your votes the approval
of those measures, We need not go
into detail. There is hardly a
school boy who does not understand
the conditions. All this talk about
imperialism is mere "bosh." The
senseless gable of seeker after
place, prominence, and preference.
What we want and to hold is pros
perity, pure and simple. That pros
perity which descends to the hum
blest citizen and makes him under>
stand that the purest of happiness is
not the misty phantasmagoria of a
dream, but that it is within his reach
and he may grasp and hold it,

The action of the United
States government in China is
without a parallel in history.
The thinking people of the
country look with contempt
upon Mr.. Mckinley and his
facilitating methods. He
should have at once senta force
to China sufficient to maintain
the supremacy of the United
States and project our citizens.
The English idea seemed to
paralyze him-that it would be
thought we had an alliance
with England. An alliance of
any kind would bea good thing
if it would put a little stiffen-
ing into the Mckinley back
bone and give him a little more
speed in the affairs of the peo-
pie.
