of 1899. While it is tribute to a
great man from an unexpected-source,
1t deals in nothing bnt absolute facts
and is appreciated by all unbiased
people 1t will do you good to read
it. Here it is:
The most unfair critic of President
Mckinley canuot deny that the
President is in the eyes of the people
of this country and of the world Il
much bigger man than he was six
months ago. The manner in which
he conducted himself curing the try
ing period just preceding the war and
his course during the war have been
highly admirable.
He resisted the powerful influences
which did their best to influence him
to recognize d nonresident Cuban
republic, and many of those who were
most urgent for that policy now con-
fess that he was right. He refused
to be bulldoZed into war until he
had exhausted every honorable means
to avoid one, and at the same time to
preserve the honor and dignity of the
government. He so managed affairs
as to put our country in the most ia
vorable light possible when the war
had to come. His official conduct
since the war began has been firm.
vigorous and well judged. He has
met the great responsibilities that
came upon him in a manner that has
won the gratitude and praise of the
whole country.
One of the most commendable lines
of his policy has been his ignoring of
sectional and partisan lines. Some of
his most trusted counselors have been
Southern men and Democrats. He
the South, every one of them an ex-
confederate soldier. The President
has done much to weld all sections of
the country closer together than they
had been for two generations.
1t has been fortunate for the coun-
year as President broad-minded, de-
liberate and clear-headed man. No
one can estimate the harm that might
have come to the country if the exec
utive office had been occupied by
rash or weak-kneek man, by a narrow
partisan or a secJionalist. We honor
President Mckinley for his calm, pru-
dent. yet positive course and for his
broad and liberal comprehension of
the truth that where the republic is
involved there should be no North,
no South, no East and no Vest

1t must be relief to all earnest
Republicans that the wrangle in the
First district has been practically
settled. With the settlement of all
differences there should come reac-
ton to the entire state to get closer
together than ever before. The ques-
tion of who shall or who shall not be
designated as the party boss should
never enter our councils. Let the
opposition wear themselves out with
the threadbare cry of bossism and
each county send to the state conven-
tion their most influential and trust
worthy men and these minor aues-
tion will be settled to the honor of
the party and not of Individuals

Some how or other the leaders of
both political parties in Kansas are
beginning to believe that as goes the
state this year so will go the Union.
They figure like this: If Bryan car
ries Kentucky and Maryland, which
is generally conceded, and New York
which has had the habit of changing
its political skin every four years for
long time, he will on the basis of
the vote in 1896, not counting his one
in California, be elected by fifteen
votes. But if Mckinley could carry
Kansas then he would be elected by
five votes. These are the figures that
are stimulating the leaders of Kan
sas to make the fight of their lives

American coal is flowing into the
Mediterranean in a swelling steam,
cutting a channel for itself which
will probably not run dry when the
present conditions interrupting it's
ordinary supply are over. England
has hitherto sent it, but now has use
for it elsewhere. 1t is not necessary
to assume that the present large de-
mand for American coal means that
naval preparations adverse to Eng
land are being made in the Mediter-
ranean, though that is the view of
some continental military observers.
Its most direct interest to Americans
is that it opens a practically new
market for an important commody
shut out and that there is
a good chance of the market staying
open hereafter.-New York Tribune.
