ENGLAND GONE REPUBLICAN.


ONE of the things that renews the
ugly passions Of the popullst and dem
ocrat and the true American and then
makes him feel like weeping aud gnash-
ing few dornicks, Is the high glee OF
the British press over the election Of
Mckinley, In the speeches that we
made In the campaign We said that the
prayer Of every crowned head OF Eu-
rope WAS for lhe election Of Mckinley,
and the triumph If hs British colonial
policy The utterances Of The British
press on thu question since lection are
alone snlii jIent to Justify That asser.
ton. From reading OF the sub. Joined
associate press dispatch from Lon1on
under date Of Nov 9Th II Is quite evil
dent that England a3 we'll as Hades
and Kansas went republican.
The afternoon papers voice the gen.
eral sentiment of England with the
result OF the presidential election In the
United States. The Evening News
says; "Anti'imperialism, the attempt
TO stir up jealousy against England,
the championship of the Beers and
panderInG to the Fenians all awaited
Bryan nothing. His defeat 20 even
more defeat for Croker and Tammany
and that is It's happiest feature. 1t
really looks as though Americans are
tired Of the gang Of corrupt Irish Amer.
leans who have degraded American
politics 80 long"
THE Star says: Had Bryan kept to
the issues Of anti Imperialism, anti
trusts, and social reform, he might
conceivably have won, Sound money
proved his undoing, lie has been
cruci1ed on y cross of gold but II was
very much a voluntary crucinction,
The most remarkable feature Is the
defeat Of Boss Croker
The Times, in a special edition,
says; McKlnley's victory is no ordin-
AIRY party triumph. 1t is u victory for
common honesty, sound sense and
sober, enlightened and political judg-
ment.
AFTER reference to Bryan's eudeavor
to make imperialism the paramount
Issue, the Times says: Free silver
and Its attendant hersesies are the real
matters upon which the electors have
given Judgment"
After commenting upon organs
advocacy Of unsound principles and I'M
constitutional methods and his appeals
to class hatred, which stirred the pas
sions of all the worst elements of the
population" the Times expresses the
opinion that had Bryan been elected
even oil the checks of the constitution
could not have restrained him from ex-
perlments fatal to social order and ma
teriaI prosperity, aud 1t concludes
From that danger the country is mer.
citully delivere !, certainly for the pres.
9 mt and we may hope for all time"
This is from an associate press dis
patch from London under date Of the
10th: "There is no conceallng the
fact that McKlnley's reelection meets
with the almost unanimous approval Of
the press and public while the foreign
Office expresses undlsguised relief that
1t will not have to deal with a new set
of diplomats in this critical stage of
affairs in the world, Among the col
umns of comments appearing in the
journals, there is common to all an ex-
preston of surprise at the return
to power of the existing govern
ments of Great Britain, the United
States and Canada, and rightly or
wrongly, the deduction is drawn that
this reversal of the usual order of
things is due to the wondrous spread
OF 'imperialistIc ideas" among English
speaking peoples
