II may be that Cortelyou has been
selected as chairman OF the republican
national campaign committee because
he has kept his whole department
manufacturing campaign literature for
the last six months and intends to keep
1t up. The new department Is now at
work preparing figures TO prove that
wages have raised much faster than
prices and the Official document will
soon be issued from the government

THE POLITICAL "CHINEE"

There never was more vicious and
degrading economic doctrine pro-
claimed than that of stand pat" 1t
rises up like stone wall TO prevent
the progress of mankind. The trou-
BILE with the mullet head is, that he is
perfectly satisfied if he is permitted
to live. That is the height of his am
bition. He never makes any COM
plant as long as he can get enough
to eat. He will never make any de-
mand for anything better. Now the
long-haired, wild-eyed pop is different
from that. His watchword is "on-
ward" No matter what his surround
ings are, he wants to make them bet
ter. He Is never satisfied. He is a
creature of unrest. He does not be-
lieve in being contented. He may
never have read Darwin, but he is by
nature an evolutionist and is ever
lastingly trying to "evolute" into
something higher and better. He is
glad to have telephone, but he wants
the wire put underground. He knows
that the water supply Of the cities is
cheaper and better than 1t ever was in
the history of the world before, but
he is not whit more contented than
he was when the inhabitants drew
water from wells by hand. He wants
the city to own the waterworks and
furnish it at cost so that he can water
his lawn and fill his bath tub when
ever occasion requires.
Travel is hundred times more ex-
peditious than it was 100 years ago,
but the populst is not bit more con-
tented than when he Travelled over
these plains in prairie schooner
drawn by four pairs of oxen. He
thinks that there are improvements
still to be made He would have the
GOV eminent own the railroads inst as
they do in Europe.
The populist won't even stand pat"
on our present educational system, al
though he demands that every child
shall he educated. He is dead Ger
tain" that the present system can be
improved and he goes about demand
ing that Improvement In the cduca-
tional system shall be made.
The stand pat" 'let we'll enough
alone" voter Is In practice "a heather
Chinee." China has stood pat for the
last 1000 years. and the present-day
stand-patters would follow their cx-
ample for the next twenty centuries,
II Is the leader In the republican
party who IL the political "Chinee."
lie has secured many special prlyil-
eges by which he aecnmulates un-
earned millions. lie wants the voter
to stand pat for the mllllonaircs'

The drollest joke that has appeared
in the dailics for long time is the
oft-repeated assertion that Governor
Pennypacker appointed Attorney Gem
eral Knox to fill the United States
senatorship made vacant by the death
OF Quay. He was appointed. as every
body knows, by Prick, the leading d.
rector in the United States steel trust.
The appointment was made in direct
violation of the constitution Of the
state of Pennsylvania, which requires
that Ia case of the death OF a United
States senator, the governor shall call
the legislature together within sixty
days for the purpose OF electing some
one to I'LL the vacancy. Neither state
nor national constitutions amount 10

and Imperialism. Take glance at
