NOODLE W.. THE PEOPLE.

st. Louis Republic.
According 10 Mark Hanna's own stand
ards Of political morality and party duty
there Il every justification for the renew
ed effort which he Is now making u
compel from the trusts total campaign
subscription Of at least ESQ 100000 TO be
used in insuring the election Of McKin.
ley to the presidency Of the United
States.
Hanna finds 20 his dismay that Amer.
Jean public sentiment, II allowed honest
expression at the polls, would defeat Mr..
Mckinley this year. His first thought
following such discovery is to devise
ways and means 10 prevent this expires
sion. The instrument 90 which he turns
for the accomplishment of his purpose Is
money, The source from which he de
mands the slush fund for the oyercom-
ing Of the popular will is the trusts. The
Republican boss Is logical in his action.
lie knows that through Republican ia
vOrtesm at the sacrifice of the people 5
interests the trusts have been enabled 10
amass the hundreds of millions Of dol
lars which have enriched their two hun
dred organizers and chief officers. He
knows that the 100000 OF more Amer.
lean people have boen placed under in
iquitous tribute 20 the trusts for tins
purpose. lie knows that the Republi
can party is entitled 10 rake-off from
the monopoly profits Of the trusts. He
Is demanding this rake-oh as a party
right.
There is no doubt that the American
trusts will contribute the vast sum as
sessed against them by the fat huckster
who has degraded American politics 10
the barter -andsale level. They will re
gard their contribution 10 the Republi-
can slush fund as an Investment TO be
repaid with interest when their dollars
shall have bought Mckinley's election

Outlook In China.

There h every indication that any
thing like a definite settlement OF the
Chinese question cannot be expected for
many months, and that it may yet be
deferred by war between the European
Powers most nearly concerned.
The Chinese Empire itself is now viz
tualIy without Government. The con-
cert of Europe for common adjust
ment of affairs in China is dissolved.
Russia, eager for her own advantage,
is adopting an aggressive policy which
is opposed by England, intensely leal-
GUS of Russian gains in the Far East.
Germany. impelled by.her militant En-.
peror and incensed by the murder OF
her Minister in Pekin, Is DESTROYS of
war. Japan's dominant ambition is to
achieve coup that shall more than re-
pay her for the war indemnity terrific

ed by Russia.
1t must be confessed that this IL not q
promising outlook. either for peace on
for an early disposition Of the Chinese
QueetiOO.

How They'll Vote.

Ninety per cent of the Democrats in
the United States. If not more. will
vote for Bryan and Stephenson, and
the same per centage Of Republicans
will vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
The other ten per cent is made up Of
independents, who following their ideas
of right and wrong, vote regardless Of
strict papv lines. And then there is
in each State large per cent, chiefly
about the large cities, who are Of the
purchasable, corrupt element. No doubt
but that m some States the honest,
high minded independents, control the
result, but most generally this element
divides between the strict parties, there
by offsetting any great influence. The
latter element, the corrupt element, go
where they can get the best prices, and
lamentable is it that they frequently
carry the day, and thus control the des-
tiny of great country.

Arbitration Is intended 90 prevent the
horrors of war. Whatever any one may
think Of the probability Of hostilities

100000 on the Strike.

More than 10000 miners have quit
work In the anthracite coal regions OF
Pennsylvania, and the leaders claim
that THIS number will be- largely incroas
ed unless terms are agreed 10 or com.

five leading railroads Of that section
have adopted resolutions also TO strike
rather than haul any mont union coal.
So Ear there has been no disorder, and
leaders urge strict respect for law.
The striking miners have 100000 m

ed by assessments and contributions from

Englishman recently came out to my

good investment. He was at my ranch

young man said that he would enjoy
good ride ia the saddle He said he
was used to riding only thoroughbreds,

good enough for him. The boys CON
WINGED him that they had one of the
finest horses on the plains, and if lie
knew how to ride he was welcome to
the animal. He was apparently insult

to ride and answered that he could
