dent Cleveland, as against four months
and twenty days that it took the Repub-
leans to pass the Dingley bill after the
inauguration of President Mckinley.
No less than 63i amendments were
made to the Wilson bill before it was
passed-and then, despite this enormous
number of patches to make the bill suit
all Democrats. President Cleveland view
ed it with the utmost disappointment"
and said that it was marked with places
where the deadly blight of treason has
blasted the counsels of the brave in
their hour of might" The colossal fail
ure of this bill to produce enough rcve-
nue. to run the government, as we'll as the
general blow it inflicted on the industries
OF the country. thereby driving thousands
OF men out of employment. was in sharp
contrast to the success of the Dngley
bill in not only producing enough reve
nue. bnt in giving employment to thou
sands of people out of work, and in re-
storing good times to the country.

DEMOCRATIC INDIGESTION.
Country Has Suffered Because of 1t
When that Party Was in Power.

Whenever the Democratic party has
had a chance at power its course has
been like that of the donkey in the fable,
which died of starvation while trying to
decide which to eat first. its oats or its
hay.
II was this way when Buchanan was
President, and could not make up his
mind whether or not TO suppress by force
the secession movement in the South,
and so postponed having anything done
until Lincoln could become President.
This dilatory policy was largely respon-
sihe for the enormous cost in money and
lives of suppreSSing The rebellion.
When Cleveland was President the
country suffered quite rs much from az
onizins uncertainty n la what the Demo
oratS were really going to do. Il from the
actual evils that they did do. On Meth
or the tariff nor on the money question
was there any unity of opinion amongst
The Democrats and never WA, it posi-
/ bic IT, forecast iu>J what would Ice done

Not Fit to Govern.

When Grover Cleveland was elsctsI
President the second time the first thine
he did was to withdraw from the Senata
the treaty for the annexation Of HawaN
and order the American flag there to b.
hauled down. The Democratic party ar
proved this action as brave and patr-
otto. lie prevented annexation az Ions
as he could and the Democratic party
appauded every step he took.
Finally, in the second year of McK1a-
lcy's administration annexation was com.
pleted and the islands entered on a new
career of prosperity. Now no Demo
cratic speaker would dare to advocate
the surrender or evacuation OF Hawaii
A few years hence it will be the same
with the Philippines.

DEMOCRATIC ANARCHIST.
Assassination Preached by an Incen-
diary "Nigger" Halter.


IL Democracy has returned to san
ity." as Grover Cleveland asserts, it is
certain the party has not yet purged it
self of something even worse than insan-
ity. Anarchists are q greater curse to
any community than lunatics, for luna
tics are often harmless to society; but
anarchists, by their words and deeds, are
always menace. Take the case Of Con-
gresham j. r. Helm, for instance. He
is an Albanian with a mouth more dan
gerOus than dozen CzolgosZes. The as
sassin of President Mckinley did not
openly preach anarchism before carrying
out his purpose and thereby incite 9th
ers to STAY public men. Hetlin is more
cowa rdly. In recent speech at Tuske-
gee, Ala, the home of Booker 7. Wash
ington, and the negro school conducted
by him, Helm said:
There they sat- Roosevelt and Booker,
and if Czolgosz or one of his kind had
thrown bomb under the table no great
harm would have been done the coun-
try"
OF the report that Booker Washington
was going to help to beat him for cleo
ton to Congress, Hefin said:
IF Booker takes a hand in this thing
it will be one time will ask him to step
out. will ask him to hands off, and
Won know we have way of influencing

And ., | can't help thinking, John, how
times are changing 50,
II costs US more to RIM things than some
forty years ago.
In honest old Buchanan's days, before
the civil war
We didn't have the money, nor SO much
to spend it for
Two dollars and a penny was the aver
age, you know;
Expenses nave gone mp a heap since
forty years ago.
They say the country's grown in wealth
and territory, too,
But | have been so busy. John. these
facts | never knew:
When this was but a little land. ex-

Assessments were not very high, some

that it will spread and spread

Alas, but times have changed, dear John,

To-day they say the railroads run to al

That's why expenses have increased since

They tell me we have islands now, all

measure through Congress old Soldier
Answer: The service pension bill failed
to pass the last Congress- which was Re
publican. 1t would have no chance. of
course. III Il Democratic Congress. The

President Roosevelt and the Secretary of
the Interior, is all right. There is no
danger of Parker's getting the chance
he wants to cut off the old soldiers little
pension of Sc to ST. month. VOTE
AS YOU SHOT.
