Mr.. Georges Opponent.

The Democratic conferees OF Hancock,
Brooke and Ohio counties met ut Wells
burg. on Saturday. and nominated Mr..
John Kunkle, OF Lazearvllle. u suburb
OF Wellsburg. for the state senate. Mr.
Kunkie is a practical giassworker and
is said to be a strong union labor man.
ills very pointed nomination In the
light of the Republican nominee. whom,
the Democrats aud some Republicans
claimed, was inImlcal TO organized
labor. but who satisfied the working
men of his true position before his So
lection us candidate.
Both candidates being. therefore. ac-
ceptable to the labor clement we see 20
reason for any party detection.

W, r. Hearts SanFrancisco Examin-
er, April 81, 1899: We trust that Mr..
Bryan vii yet range himself in line with
the national aspiration for expansion.
The time has come, us 1t comes at inter-
vals to every vigorous nationals 1t has
come 10 ours on several former occa-
sions-when the old boundaries are too
contracted for the pulsing life within
them, and when the health Of the body
polite demands that room. The popular
instinct understands the need for these
periodical expansions. and every senu-
inc statesman understands 1t, too. The
popular instinct OF nation cannot be
changed In sixteen months. nor can q
creature OF expedicncey be converted
into n statesman by an appeal to the
truths Of history. Mr.. Bryan may
think he is close to the people, and that
his silly talk about imperialism" moves
them. but he will soon find out that
Americanssare as much in favor of cx-
pansion to-day rs they were when they
applauded the acquisition OF Louisiana
territory by that noted Imperial!st,
Thomas Jefferson.

The Workineman's Real Friend.

n Who Is the real friend OF the working
man? The party that gives him a
chance to live without being a,pauper.
Which party is that? The Republican
party. the party that protects his labor,
and gives him n fair days wages for I
fair day OF toll. What has the Demo-
cratic party ever done for the working
man? 1t affects to conserve the inter-
ests of the "plain people," or the COM
mon people," Its speakers delight to
use these two phrases for the purpose OF
misleading the worklngman. But for
tunntely the plain people" and the
common people" have brains-this ex-
traordInary concession having been
made by William Jennings Bryan, al
though anyone 10 hear him talk to them
would think he was addressing the in
mates OF an asylum for the feeble mind
ed.
The apostle OF calamity In his scorch-
ing tour through West Virginia, claim
ed that prosperity was n fiction, and
that the employment OF labor was an
Idle dream. To contradict this 1t Is
only necessary to refer to one case out
OF many that could be cited During
Cleveland's administration the Console
dated Coal and Coke Company, Of Lo-
gan county. mined only four and five
cars OF coal n day, with the men on half
time. Now the same company has an
output OF thirty-five cars per day anG
have standing advertisements In the
newspapers asking for more men. I'm
der Cleveland these miners were paid
IN cents bushcl. hut under Mckinley
they get ~ cents over two inch
screen. Under Cleveland, or rather un-
der MacCorkle. they had to deliver their
days work over q one and one-haif Inch
screer. work only three or four days
week. and get less wages. who is the
friend OF the workingman?'

The Miners, Strike.

The situation In the anthracite region
yesterday was one of order after the
tumultuous events of Friday and Sat-
urday. The outbreak expected has hap
pened. and the National Guard OF
Pennsylvania had to be called upon to
quell the riotous actions OF those sirik-
ers who defled the law. 1t Is presumed
TINT the better element OF the miners
will henceforth be forceful enough to
prevent any serious clash with the mil
itary. A peaceful fight will obtain bet
ter results than contention with the
legal authorities, and as the strikers
appear to have real grievances they
can only be permanently adjusted by
Just and equitable mcasures-never by
bloodshed.

Now. while the Democratic politicians
complain about the amount OF these ap-
preparations. they could not have been
made without their concurrence. Bit
the worst feature OF their attitude in
this connection is that. among the

WHEN WILLIAM WAS WILLIE.
The Code of Morals of the Youthful
Politician illustrated.

Kansas City. Journal tRep.): A local
paper publishes an account OF the boy
hood days OF William j. Bryan. the data
being furnished by one E. W. Hedrick.
OF this city. who was In Bryan's classes
ut school. Hedrick also attended Sun
day school with the future politician.
This WIS back In the days when young
Bryan lived at Salem, III. n
The narrator evidently is \ great ad-
mirer of Mr.. Bryan. and he gives n
glowing account OF his conscientious
boyhood. According 10 this historian.
Willie had no bad habits. He was never
bolsterous. he never played truant. he
never played cards, he never stol,.
watermelons. and he never got Into
downright mischief. us the other boys
did. On the contrary. he was studlous.
active and respectabie-a model boy.
But he was fond OF watermelons, and
while he would not steal them. he had
them just the same. Bryan Would not
go to the patch to steal them." says
Hedrick, but he. would enjoy eating
them when the boys had secured the
booty"
The pa-er furnishing this account
says very truly and very wisely: "Sev-
eral incidents OF Mr.. Bryan's poyhood
so to show that in his case the child
was father TO the man," The water
melon Incident is especially illustrative
OF this. theory. When boy is too con-
fsclentlous to indulge In active mischief,
but does not hesitate to enjoy the fruits
of other boys mischief. there Is some
thing wrong. He has neither correct
moral perceptions nor true sporting
blood. A boy who holds up his little
hands In holy horror at the thought OF
Illicit foraging. but who Will cram his
little belly full OF watermelon stolen by
HIS playmates, isn't game one way or
the other.
Such boy is likely to develop incon-
slstencies Of perception and character
as he grows to manhood. It is needless
to enumerate the applications OF the
early incident to recent developments In
Bryan's case. It would take too much
space. But it is clear that the water
melon story of little Willie furnished
an early key to William Janus.

Discredited State Democracy.

Ex-Governor MacCorkle. although
shut out OF the temporary and permn-
nent Craftsmanship OF the Democratic
state convention, at Parkersburg. had
published in the state papers speech
he had in his pocket to deliver, but
which was never spoken. Il was IN At

and every paragraph contained
hole through which you
could thrust good-stzed contra
Republican argument. His inslnccrity,
like other Democratic stump speakers
to-day show their lack Of patriotism.
This Is set forth In the attitude OF the
Democratic party relative to the nppro-
priations OF the last Legislature. The
lower house OF that body was Demo.
cratic and the senate Republican. No
appropriation bill could become law
without passing both houses. 1t was.

1t Is true the appropriations amount
ed to about 100000 more than ,hose o:

the appropriations for the years 1899
and 1894 were insufficient to meet the
demands Of the public service. So
shamefully Inadequate were they, that

On the latter he was especially clear
and convincing. showing the various
