POLITICS
Get IKE Better Of the avail Bill
Debate.

WASHINGTON, APRIL is-The de-
bate on the naval appropriation bill un-
der the FIVE minute rule today drifted
into poilrics, and for good portion OF
the afie noon members fought hammer
and tongs across the political aisle. The
partisan rancor almost eliminated tn a
sensational scene between Mr. Grosvonor,
the champion OF the administration and
Mr. williams. Some OF the democrats be-
gan worrying Mr. Hawley by pointedly
asking n the rresi ont had not changed
his mind on the Porto Rico tariff ques-
tion. and Mr. Grosvenor finally threw
himself into the breach.
During some remarks by Mr. Hawley,
IN eulogy of the presidents course Mr..
Kitchen askeD him II the president had
not denied that the constitution. the
greatest Of all blessings, followed the
flag
"rhat is a technico- question" repliei
Mr. Hawley
"In order not to embarrass the gentle
man. I withdraw the question" ohserv-
ed Mr.. Kitchen ami. laughter
Later Mr. Hawley challenged Mr..
Wheeler 10 give the name OF the officer
Of the United States whom he yesterday
/ expressed the opinion was responsible
! for the armor plate trust.
Mr.. Wheeler replied that he had ex-
/ pressed that opinion, .ut did not give the
name OF the officer whom he had IN
MIND.
Later on Mr. Grosvenor ana Mr. will

President Mckinley a Union Man.

In August. 1899, President Mckinley
was made a member of the Bricklayers'
and Stone Masons' Union of Chicago.
He attended a meeting Of the union and
was addressed by President Gubbins of
the union, who said, among other things:
I'VE know that you are the friend Of
the workingman and that you are deeply
concerned in all that concerns him.
President Mckinley in reply said, in
concluding his remarks:
''The word l would leave with you is
this: Improve all the advantages and op-
portunities Of this free government Your
children, your families, your boys and
girls, are close to your heartstrings, and
my word is to avail yourselves for your
children Of the splendid opportunities for
schooling under our excellent free school
system. Give them the best education
you can. That is the best equipment for
American citizens. (Applause.) Intelli-
gence and integrity will win their way

hostile camps and divide into classes.

your homes lore and contentment." Con

DEMONSTRATION.

OF course it does not strictly pertain to
the subject to record an interesting fact
with regard to the general labor situation
in Omaha, which presumably is typical
Western town, but it may nevertheless
be recalled that the Omaha World-Her-
aid was Mr.. Bryan's personal organ in
1896. and during that campaign it made
the prophecy daily that in the event of
Mckinley's election the depression and
distress among the working classes
would be widespread. The best proof
of the falsity Of this prophecy is found
on the want pages of the World-Herald
A recent issue at hand contains the ad
vertisements Of two females and seven
males who want situations, while on the
same page the "help wanted" advertise
ments ask for 1O7 females and 115 males.
This is in addition to the agents want
ed and does not include the advertise
ment for 1000 men for railroad work.
The calamity prophecy was failure in
Mr.. Bryan's own State, as it was else
where.

The new STAR SPANGlED BANNER

Oh, say, can you sec, by the far Eastern
light,
What 50 proudly is hailed at the twi.
lights last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
after many fight,
In lands near and far, is so CALAMITY
streaming?
And the thanks in our prayers, rising high
in the air.
Give proof to the World that our flag is
still there;
Oh, say, let that star spangled banner be
waved
Ger the lands we have freed and the
peoples we've saved!
Oh, thus be it always, whenever we stand
Between the oppressed and a Kings
desolation
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made US q
powerful nation!
And onward we must, for our cause it Is
just;
And this be our motto, I'm God is ,ou1
trust;"
Let the starspangled banner in triumph
be waved
Der the lands we have freed and the
peoples we've saved!

"Well," continued Mr.. Murphy, Its
been a nachurl SUCCESSION Of ivints thot
has placed this administration in its
present position. The byes wor-rkin'
on the job have been doin' some dom
hard liftin', with no tonne to listen to
aunties, for the dodgin' of cannon balls.
Now, this here argyfyin's all right in
your front parlor, but it cuts no figure
with them Mouser bullets. Now, all
sensible Americans knows that the
United States means to do whot's right
by them Fillipeaners. Mr.. Mckinley
isn't goin' to steal anything from 'em.
Nobody's tryin' to cheat them out Of a
cent. Whenever they quit their kickin'
We'll treat 'em in SIGH way they'll be
glad we licked 'em. / think if some of
thin fellers thot's agin ivrything would
go to Mainly and wur'rk on the job,
they'd find out thot, while's they's pick
in bullets out of their bareback. These
fellers thot's agin ivrything makes me
think OF a shipwrecked sailor that was
jest like 'em in this respect. The ship
he was on went down. and he swan to
an island. A native came to help him
up the bank. Now this Teller was al
most drowned physically, but he was
still able to blow his bazoo. Got a gov
eminent here?' he said, says he, to the
native. Yes, sor,' says the native.
Wal, I'm agin it, said the feller.'
''See here, Mr.. Murphy" said Simon,

is rather limited, and l guess you'd bet
ter go on and stay some other place.

Bryan q False Prophet.

eff Mckinley and the Republican par
ty are successful. and put in power for
the next four years, wages will be de-
creased, hard times will come upon us
and over the land the price of wheat will
60 down and the price Of gold will go
up, mortgages on our homes will be fore
closed by the money lenders, shops and
factories will close. We will export no
goods and we will import from foreign
lands all the goods we use; thus will
ruin, want and misery be with us."-Wil-

Employment Seeks Labor.

We have gone from Industrial depres-
sion to Industrial activity. We have
gone from labor seeking employment to
employment seeking labor. We have
abundant and unquestionable currency
the world over, and we have an unsur-
passed rational credit-better than It has
ever been hafore in our history.-Presi-
lent Mckinney at Clinton, Iowa, Oct. IL.

New Michiean Factoriea.

There are in Michigan 1905 factories
which were not in existence in 1897.
These factories employ $4,000 people,
whose yearly wages amount to about ST.
100000. OF these some had employment
in 1897, but many had not. The volume
Of idle labor has been so decreased that
the lumbermen, though offering higher
wages than they did in 1896, find it hard
to get men to work IN their camps.

Now will we ever consent that the

The preliminary report Of the census
bureau completely disproves the asser-

sorbed by the larger ones. The number

ed States in 1890 and 1900 compare as

WAS 2,731, 721 ,766 CIGARS.
, At an average of 65,00O cigars
