PASSENGER STATION BURNED.

Special to the Register
WILLIAMSTOWN, w Va, July 16.
The Ohio River passenger station
burned this morning. The cause is I'M
known, but it is thought a cigar stump
thrown last night into cuspidor fill
ed with saw dust set fire to the saw
dust which smouldered all night and
finally burst into flames this morn
ing. The baggage and valuable papers
were all saved. The loss is about
$1,000.

The Party Must Do the Rest.

Los Angeles Herald.
There is no reason to doubt that the
Democratic masses of the United States
will do their part in the momentous un-
dertahng of restoring common sense gov
eminent in the United States. This is
the naked issue in the campaign of 1900.
Stripped of all establishment. the ques-
ton is simply whether the United States
shall escape from the Mckinley jungle
of Imperialism and return to the broad
path outlined by Jefferson and the other
fathers of the Republic. The Kansas City
convention has done its share. fully and
well The party that employed 1t for the
work must now do the rest.

Lesson Hanna Must Learn.

st. Louis Republic.
Mark Hanna has yet something to learn
of the character and temper of American
men. The old American spirit is not
dead. The republic is dear to the hearts
of Americans. The thought of empire in
the place of the republic is inexpressibly
repugnant The people of this great and
free country, proud of the things for
which their country stands, will be swift
and sure to hurl from power the Hanna
lied party which seeks to wreck the re-
public for the building of an empire

Under the Republican Indian man
agement unknown but evidently null
titudinous white men have been steal
ing the timber of the Chippewa In
dians, up in Minnesota, and the In
dams naturally don't like it and
threaten trouble. Here is another OPP
portunity for benevolent assimilation.
Why not exterminate these Indians
and divide their lands among lumber
sharpers?

A Great Truth Well stated.

Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
Imperialism abroad will lead quickly to
despotism at home" says the Democratic
platform. This is great truth succinct
~ stated and should command attention.
The more thoughtfully it is studied the
stronger will be the conviction of it's
truth. Militarism, a large standing army
made up of the citizens of the republic
in time of peace, is old world imperialism
applied to America, costly, dangerous
and un-American.

FAVORS IMPERIALISM.

Mr.. Charles j. Bonaparte, of Balti-
more, grandson Of Jerome Bonaparte,
youngest brother of Napoleon l. has
declared in favor of Mckinley, and
improves the occasion to pass what he
evidently presumes to be severe crit
icisms upon Mr.. Bryan and the Dem
ocracy in general. For instance, Mr.
Bonaparte says Mr.. Bryan, if elected,
would probably be untrue to his oath
of Office, and continues:
who can reasonably assure us that a
'Populist' president and secretary will
respect that law or any other? In effect,
they profess the doctrine that no law
need be obeyed when a considerable num-
Der of people find obedience to it incon-
venient: for them any attempt to enforce
legal rights constitutes government by in
junction. or something no less, odious.''
How natural it is for one claiming
utilization with Imperialism and
whose distinguished relative was per-
haps the best opponent of autocratic
government to express sympathy with
Republicanism at the present time
The relative of Napoleon l. is for Will
lam I. It's perfectly natural and al
ogether harmonious and natural

REPUBLICAN "ORATORY.v

Republican oratory appears to run
to typewriter remarks as Republican
platforms have taken the definite form
of being prepared in advance by Cabi-
net ministers and big bosses.
A case in point occurred at Cam

was to be notified formally of his nom

an immense crowd, bands of music,
distinguished gentlemen from a dis

several intimate friends were discuss

topics current in a snail town in the
heart of thriving agricultural COM

awoke the echoes, and there were
hoarse cries of Mckinley Bring

Senator Lodge, Immediately groomed
and wearing a high hat, approached,
and saying Sire" produced from his
coat tail pocket large wad of type
written copy and proceeded to inform
the protege of Hanna that his master
had again selected him as the can
didate for the party. Mckinley blush
ed rosy red and otherwise showed
his surprise. His attitude was dis
tinctively that of the maiden's "this
is so student" Then he produced
from his coat tail pocket another large
wad of type written copy, and pro-
ceeded to express his surprise and
qualification.
1t was all very funny. But is ora

fishes a dispatch from Constantinople

urged the severance of diplomatic re-

even went so far as TO threaten war
unless the Kentucky should be with
drawn from Turkish waters. The
ministers express the belief that the
European powers would not permit the
United States to attack Turkey, and
that the country. therefore. would bt
