In speaking of the Republican Ma
tional Committees adoption of the
"full dinner pail as a campaign en-
blem, the Montrose Democrat says:
"Happy thought. This dinner
pail, of course, will be made from the
tin supplied by the imperial Tin
Trust; the wire used in it will come
from the American Wire and Steel
Trust The pail will contain bread
made from the -four of the Flour
Trust; it will have in 1t piece of
meat from the abattoirs of the ''Bg
-Four" known as the Packing Trust ;
the bottle of coffee will be sweetened
by the saccharine matter of the Sugar
Trust; if there be bit of fish in it
on Friday, Booth & Co., the head
of the Fish Trust, will profit thereby.
There are more empty stomachs in
the country than there are full dinner
pals, and, if Mckinley and war, and
trusts are to abide, the proportion of
empty stomachs to full dinner pals
will enormously increase

The Republicans have changed
Their base since 1892. Their cam

their position on the question of bi.
metallsm as follows:
"Nine tenths of the people are BIZ
metallsts. They want both money
metals used, because they believe
both are needed to sustain the worlds
commerce. The republican party
honestly and intelhgently answers their
wishes. President Harrison is a BIZ
metalst, as his official papers and
speeches show. The republican plat

Congress re-assembled last We'd nesday and went to work without much delay. The bills which will engage the attention of our legisla- tors are the ship-subsidy bill, the re-apportionment bill, the bill to reduce war taxes, and the army re- organization bill. The ship-subsidy bill, which is being fostered by leading Republicans, is nothing more nor less than gigantic steal. It is to be hoped that the wiser and more conservative Republicans will unite with the Democrats and de feat this measure, thus doing the country a lasting service. The re- apportionment bill works great injustice upon the South, for, while it gives Arkansas and few others one new congressman, still it cuts down other Southern States, espec- ially those that have laws disfran- chising negroes and other illiterate persons, so much that the South $ representation in congress will be a great deal smaller. One thing, however, is certain. If this bill is passed it will be tacit recognition of the right of the South to dis franchise the negro, and it will seal the fate of the negro as factor i'll politics. Everybody hopes for the reduction of taxes and there should be no fight over this measure. The army reorganization bill is very a important measure and involves the expenditure of many millions. The war department has asked for an army of Ioo. .ooo men and as that number is absolutely needed in our war of conquest ill the Phil ippines, it is very probable that this bill will be passed.

 A bill will be introduced in the next legislature providing that the negroes shall have for educational purposes only that part of the taxes which negroes pay. This bill merits and will doubtless receive an over- whelming defeat, for it would prac- tically do away with the education of the negro. Education, properly directed, is about the only means we have of lifting up the negroes, and it is to our best interest to. ele- vate him in some manner, for he is with us to stay. This talk ol the negro being colonized ill the North or West, or in Africa is all foolishness. The South is the ne gro's natural home. He receives better treatment here than any where else and here he is going to cko
