of certain democrats is to vote the democratic ticket and be opposed to everything the administration does. Carl Schurz has declared for Bryan. That settles it. Carl is about as pleas ant supporter as a hornet inside ones shirt.
 Mir. Sewall, the democratic candidate for vice-president in 1896, is one of the Tammany ice trust crowd. But then the political preaching of the democrats never did agree with their business practice.
 Boss Croker and Would-Be-BO Hill, of New York, furnished a sensa- ton in Kansas City the other day. Each gentleman expressed his opinion of the other and in doing so told some plain facts not relished by either
 The republican platform should be read in conjunction with the actions of congress and the speeches of Sena- tors WOlcOtt, Lodge and Fairbanks. Together these furnish an epitOme of what the republicans have done and will do.
 Boss CrOker is the Dr. Jekyl and Mir. Hide of American politics. He spends a large portion of his time in England and when there is intensely English, "don'tcherknow," and anti American. When in this country he is just as intensely American and anti-English.
 As might have been supposed, Sena- tor Hoar stands by the republican party. He differs with it on one point, but with Bryanism in every thing, for it could not be trusted on the Philippine question or anything else.
 The democratic claim that they had cut down the republican majority in Oregon, has been disproved. The lat est figures show that the republicans won by almost exactly the same figures that they did two years ago. This shows cOnclusively that Bryan has no chance on the Pacific-and everybody knows that he has none on the Atlantic.
 It was certain to come, and CrOker is the first to express it. In q speech last week the New York boss said: Look at what is happening now in China. Our soldiers and sailors are fighting under British admiral. What do Americans think of that? Mir. Bryan is against this" A plank em- bOdying these sentiments and request ing the abandonment of American citizens abroad would be in keeping with the rest of the Kansas City plat form.-St Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
 From reading the horrible stories of the humiliation of foreigners by the Chinese. one can readily believe the theory that the North American In dians are the descendants of the Chinese race. and that they have be- come less avasge since 'trekking" to America. The atrocities committed by the Chinese would bring a blush sas City convention. We propose to
 Bisbee's new paper. the Herald, was short lived. It was merged into the review last Saturday. Paul Hull. who was the editor of the Herald. occupies a similar position on the Review. In announcing the change the Review states that the political complexion of both has been lost in the union, leav- ing the question of its politics in doubt.
 If the American masses support the Boer cause. as the BOer envOys claim, they do more than the BOer masses, either in the Transvaal or the Orange Free State, are doing. Over there the Boer masses, including sons of Kruger, have returned to their farms and are engaged in supporting their families.
 If this political campaign could be conducted with the political prejudi- l ces and demagOgery eliminated. so that people could give free eXpres- ! sion to their calm and better judg l ment and not have their passions in famed by false assertions, McKin- l ley's majority would be greater than 1 any president ever received. It will | be large enough for all practical pur | poses. as it is. The handwriting of | Bryan's political doom is plainly visi | ble.
 Attention has been called to the fact l that the old United States frigate | President, which won much glory in | the war of 1872 before it was cap tured by vastly superior forces, is still doing duty as d British drill ship. | It has lasted through all these years. while the many ships captured from Britain by the United States about the same time have long since de- cayed and vanished. This fact shows the superior workmanship of the American mechanic, even at that early day.
 Discoursing on the proposition to remove the territorial prison the Tue son Star says; Any proposition to remove the territorial prison cannot The territory cannot af- ford the expense. The present To- cation is the best in the territory to provide the resources to make the prison self-sustaining. Agriculture is the best employment for cOnvicts as it encourages the refOrmatOry spirit. And Yuma provides the most fertile land and the greatest supply of water for irrlgating the same of any county in Arizona" The ex-governor evident " had that prison farm of his in mind
