COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Secretary Shaw says the law
gives him discretion in the matter of
bank reserves. This is fortunate.
He needs it.-N. Y. World.
The republican editor is hard
worked mortal these days trying to
reconcile the existence of strikes,
trusts, tariffs and high prices with
the plea of universal prosperity
ST. Paul Globe.
1t is to be hoped that the hui

protected trusts and monopolies are
not escaping the notice of the long
suffering voter.-Chicago Chronicle.
WHEN the republican party is
in power labor strikes, and when the
democratic party is in power capi-
tai strikes. Labor, however, never
strikes except when it is safe and
capital never strikes except when it
is unsafe" Thus is Senator Foraker,
of Ohio, quoted.

why are the trusts fighting the prop
osition with all their might? If it
would benefit them, they would
adopt the opposite course, wouldn't
they?-Sioux City Times.
Speaker Henderson seems cool
under the reflections that are made,
on him. Perhaps he expects to be
called back after season of rest. It
would be a proud thing to have it
acknowledged that the country could
not get along without him; but
there are so many impertinent young

the offices.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

On the Verge of Bright's

CASE NO. 3O.611.-C. E. Boies, deal

Street, Akron, O., made the following
statement in 1896, he said: ever
since the Civil War have had attacks
of kidney and bladder troubles, decid-
eddy worse during the last two or
three years. Although 1 consulted
physicians, some of whom told me 1
was verging on Bright's disease, and
was continually using standard rem
edies, the excruciating aching just
across the kidneys, which radiated to
the shoulder blades, still existed. AS
might be expected when my kidneys
were in disturbed condition, there
was a distressing and announcement
difficulty with the action of the kid
ney secretions. A box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Lamparter &
Co.'s drug store, brought such a de-
cided change within a week that I
continued the treatment. The last
attack, and it was particularly ag-
gravated, disappeared"

MONTANA TRAIN ROBBERY.
Between Bermount and Drummond tho
Northern Pacific's Engineer Was Killed
and Registered Mail Stolen.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 25.-Word was
received here of the robbery of a
Northern Pacific mail train between
Bermount and Drummond, Mont,
about midnight. The engineer was
killed, the mail car broken into and
robbed of all registered mail but no
other cars touched. The train was
due at Drummond at 1880, but it did
not come in. Investigation located
the train stalled.
The trainmen saw one man and
think the robbery may have been
committed by him without assist
ance. The robber shot Engineer
O'Neill, who died soon afterwards.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Quinn. The combination baggage and
express car was blown to pieces and
all the registered mail was taken.
The Northern Pacific officials in st.
Paul have posted a reward of $4,000
for the delivery of the robber, dead
or alive. The posting of the reward
has started active pursuit of the rob
Der, and it is believed he will be cap
tured. The Northern Pacific COM
pany has borrowed the bloodhounds
from the state penitentiary at Deer
Lodge, Mont, and has also started
out posses of men from Deer Lodge,
Missoula and Anaconda, fully armed
and prepared for long search.

CHROMATIC AFFLICTION.

A Virginia reader sends story told by
the late Alban S. Payne as an actual occur
renee, says the Philadelphia Times. 1t con-
cerned hard-riding, drinking young
Englishman, who settled near Linden, that
state, in the expressed hope that the rustic
surroundings would prove an aid in Kidding
him of his abnormal thirst. But he chung
to his old habits, and soon became a con-
noisseur in moonshine Oscillations, rather
preferring them, after time, to those bear
ing the government stamp. His face was a
mingled purple and sunset red, the joint
product of whisky and an open-air life; and
he had nothing of charm apart from his
faultless manners to offer the pretty noun
tain girl who consented to become his wife.
One afternoon he was carried home, pretty
well mussed up as the result of fall. The
gravel of the roadside, the green of the grass
and the smear from some cuts added to the
colorfulness of his countenance; and the

out on the porch, screaming:
ooh, doctor! doctor! go in to him-quick!

VIEWS OF GROVER CLEVELAND
ON It's Old-Time Doctrine of
Tariff Reform.

To a Representative of the New
York Evening Post who asked him
his views in regard to the outlook
for and the duty of the democracy
in the approaching congressional
elections, ex-President Grover Cleve-
land, on October IA, said:
'It seems to me that If the democracy Is
really In earnest it cannot fail largely to in
crease its representation in the next con-
gress, but in order to co SO think that
there must be a constant and stalwart in
sistence upon the things which are recog-
nized by all to be true democratic doctrines.
OF course, by far the most important of
these is tarin reform On this issue. am
satisfied that the democracy Is face to face
with a great opportunity. All of the signs
of the times point to a recognition, far
beyond all party lines, of the benefits which
would accrue to the people by a readjust-
ment of the tariff, and it would be worse
than folly for the party under the stress
OF any temptation or yielding to any al
lurement to permit this to be subor61nated
to or overshadowed by any other issue.
THE present restlessress in republican
circles on this subject, often amounting to
protests against republican protective the
cries, should warn the democracy of an
impending danger. I mean by this the pos
sibility that our opponents may crowd us
from out position on this subject If we
allow them to do so by our lukewarmness
and iId1nerence, and to occupy our ground,
just as we permitted them to crowd US
from the ground that belonged to US on
the question of sound money. am very
much pleased with the deliverance of the
New York democracy on the tariff issue,
and 1t was fit and proper that the EN-
pire state should sound the right note It
is my clear conviction that the best as
surance of success for the democracy in
the next national campaign will be found

WHAT REPUBLIcANIsM DOES.
Favors Trusts and Opposes and VIII
lies Organized Labor, the Small
Farmer and Laborer.

The real opinions of the leaders of
the republican party are seldom to
be obtained on the question Of the
trusts and legislation for the wage
earners. The platforms adopted al
ways deal in platitudes and are new
er definite on these subjects. Occa-
sionally some republican leader is
more outspoken than his fellows and
discloses the real intentions of the
republican party on the trust and
labor questions. Such was the case
when Congressman w. A. Calder
head, of the Fifth Kansas district.
addressed his constituents, at Beloit,
in that state, on September "a. In
the course of that speech, he said:
ct deny that the trusts constitute an evil
a contend that they have been a godsend to
the country. have no sympathy with
all this talk ard fuss about the trusts I
care not If 1t emanates largely from my
own party, consider it all political bun
combe. The trusts will never be remedied,
and they ought not to be. The trusts have
peen the handmaids of progress in every
channel of business and in every avenue
OF life. They have reduced the cost of liv-
ing. They have furnished employment to
labor They have developed the country
1hey nave promoted science and encour-
aged invention. I regard organized labor
as the greatest menace this country has
to-day. 1t not only robs it's own members
OF liberty. but is a constant menace to
the lives, liberty and property of the peo-
pie OF the whole country. 1t has frequently
been the cause of bloodshed and crime
1t has caused famines in the necessities
of life. 1t refuses to recognize brains, and
it holds the capable. brainy member down

FUND IS ABOUT COMPLETE.
Ty7stees OF Mckinley AEemoFlal Assoeaa-
tion Report Cash Subscriptions OF I.
Over Half . Million.

washington, Oct. 25.-The tr lstees
OF the William Mckinley National
Memorial fund win hold meeting
at Canton, O., to-day and hear the
report of the treasurer of the fund
as to the amount of subscription
raised for the Mckinley memorial.
The trustees set out to raise $780,
600 and the report will show that of
this amount more than $55O,O0 has
been subscribed and that the remain
der can be raised, SO that practically
the work of raising the fund has
been completed. The trustees can
now purchase the site for the me-
mortal and prepare plans for its cree
ton. While a site has been selected
in the cemetery at Canton where
President Mckinley is buried, the
ground has not been purchased nor
have the plans or designs for the
monument to be erected thereon been
selected. Of the states contributing
to the fund New York leads with
S150,000, the larger portion having
been raised in New York city. Ohio
promised to raise 100000 and has
not only kept its promise, but has
gone above that figure and stands
next to New York on the subscrip-
ton list. Pittsburg stands in the
front ranks of the cities, for citizens
subscribed $4,000. There is disap-
pointment in New England's contri-
button, for the entire six states in
that section, including the city Of
Boston, did not subscribe more than
$4,000. Although the trustees have
nearly raised the amount required,
they do not intend to relax their eff
forts to raise the full amount, and
subscriptions will still be welcome.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. est is stat

has refused to discharge those who
took the places of the men who
struck. The miners are incensed at
this action by the company and there
Is feeling of unrest in the Lykens

order to the effect that only limited
number of men will be re-employed
and that it will not discharge the

Modern economy permits less and

which utilizes its surplus hot water

nearly 1000 baths week.

Worthlessness, and is dangerous thing,
which should be suppressed"
These sentiments of Judge Calder
head are not so remarkable, except
that he had the courage to tell them.
1t may be remembered that a still
higher republican authority had ex-
pressed the same ideas more pic
turesquely on former occasion.
President Roosevelt, in his book,
Ranch Life and Hunting TRAIL
pages 9 and 10, said:
Peril and hardship and years of Iorg
toll, broken by weeks of brutal dissipat ton,
draw haggard lines across their Cowboys
and rough ridersO eager faces but never
dim their reckless eyes nor break their
bearing of self-confidence. When drunk
on the villainous whisky of the frontier
towns they cut mad antics, ride their
horses into the saloons. firing their pistols
right and left, from boisterous lighthearted-
ness, rather than from any viciousness and
INDUCING too often in deadly shooting af-
trays, brought on either by the accidental
contact of the moment or on account of
some longstanding grudge or perhaps be-
cause of bad blood between the ranches or
localities. They are much better fellows
and pleasanter companions than small
farmers or agricultural laborers; nor are
a
to be mentioned in the same breath"
On page 295 of the September Qs96)
issue of the Review of Reviews,
Theodore Roosevelt, in discussing the
American union workingman, made
the following statement:
1.-THE men who object to what they style
Government by Injunction are. as regards
the essential principles of government in
hearty sympathy with their remote, skin
clad ancestors who lived in caves, fought
one another with stone-headed axes, and
ate the mammoth and woolly rhinocep nos.
They are interesting as representing geo.
logical survival, but they are dangerous
whenever there is the1east chance of their
making the principles of this ages-buried
past living factors in our present life. They
are not in sympathy with men of good minds
and sound civic morality"
How do you like the picture, work
ingmen and farmers, that these re-
publican leaders have painted of
you?
Both say organized labor is dam
gerous. They regard government by
injunction as a legitimate exercise
of the powers of the judiciary.
of a great city as not to be men
toned in the same breath with the
drunken cowboys of the plains. They
look upon the small farmer and ~ag-
ricultural laborer as clodhoppers
whose only use is to swell the re-
publican majority on election day.
Trusts, to them, are blessing.
Is it not about time the labor
worm should turn and defeat the
renuhlicanS and their vicio,,S r,o1;
cies and their impudent audacity?
