Tom Rezd was unanimously elect

In making appointments Presi

that it is better to be right than to
be speedy.

The sooner the extra session of
congress can get the new tariff bill
to the white house, the better it will
be for the country.
Thbodohout his entire public
record President McKinley has been
known as a harmonizer, and he is
living up to his reputation.
Or course we don’t wish to see
. the plucky Greeks bring on a
■ European war, but suoh a war would
be worth a lot of money to the
people of the United States.
Thk republican leaders in Con
gress will take the necessary steps
to prevent our markets being over
loaded with foreign goods while the
tariff bill is pending at the extra
session.

Out Grover Cleveland, publioly
oharged by the legislature of the
state of Missouri with having con
fiscated a government vessel, has
not yet been arrested, nor have any
members of the Missoure legislature
been sent to insane asylums.
. . Pbisidknt McKinley did just
what those who knew him best
1 "expected him to do, when he ordered
that the cordon of policemen which
has surrounded the white house
night and day for several years,
when the president was at home,'be
removed.
Thi democrats, or anybody else
can make a general change of “ex
travagant appropriations” against
the last Congress, but so long as
they fail to specify one single ap
propriation that is extravagant they
cannot expect to reeeive any atten-:
tion from intelligent people.
Aluw G. FisBiB, of Ohadron,
oounty attorney of Daves county,
.'•’•is beooming famous on aooount of
- his resemblance to the boy orator of

column write-up iu the Journal..

Th* receipts from the inaugural
v ball and concerts and the street
, stand privileges paid all the expen
see of the inauguration ceremonies
. .. and left a aurplus exceeding $5,000,
which will be distributed among the
charitable institutions of Washington
/A In other words the people of
Washington, and the inauguration
f_, visitors willingly footed all the bills
for the privilge of participating in
..., the ceremonies. This is all the
,1 answer needed to the foolish demo
cratic chargee of extravagant ex
penditures. The people merely spent
, there own money for there own
*kacare.
Congress could not do better than
follow the recommendation of Presi
dent McKinley and turn the whole
question of our currency over to a
non partizan commission composed
of the ablest business men of the
country, in order to get thoir opinion
of what ought to be done. It is not
a time for experiments. No change
should be made until it is known
that it will be better than what we
now have. The country had a dose
of the effect of changing just for a
change during the last four years
that ought to suffice for a century to
come. When a wise man has a
complicated legal case on hand he
employs the best legal talent to be
had. This country needs financial
advice, but it wants it from men who
have proven their ability by the
management of their own affairs,
and not from blatant demagogues
who sway with every mm that hap
pens to become popular.
WHO ABE THEY?
Of coarse the wave of prosperity
promised daring the campaign,
has not come as rapidly ns
the fellows expected who voted
against the proposition to have it
return.
Had it come next morning after
election they would also have been
disappointed. It is evident there
fore, that in the very nature of
things these free silver advocates
were to be disappointed.
Accordingly there is no reason to
weep with them over their woes.
Who are they who mourn and
refuse to be comforted ?
Who are these men who at this
time, ton days after the inauguration
of a republican president, point the
finger of scorn at the victors and
taunt them with a demand to know
why the indigent and indolent are
not prospering and why baked ducks
are not flying through the air and
roast pigs do not fill our pens ?
These are the same fellows who
in 1802, when labor was fairly gorg
ed with abundance, when idleness
was thejexception and when willing
'hands were everywhere at WorJc at
remunerative wageB, when the
women sang about the hearth and
children played in comfort and as
strangers to hunger, concluded it
would be a wise thing to put a stop
to that kind of prosperity and vote
for the Bryan idea of free trade.
They did thiB and stopped the
spindles and looms here and set
them going abroad. They could see
nothing the matter with our financial
system then. The only trouble with
them was that they couldn’t Btand
prosperity. They sowed the seeds
of discontent, which they are still
sowing. They sow them in times of
prosperity and seasons of want.
They inflame the public, and when
there is a feast as well as when there
is a famine.
They promised greater prosperity,
they gave us misery and distress.
We had bread and pie and they
promised us peaches and cream,
but they gave us nothing but a
marble heart.
Where were their jibes and jests
then? Why did not these Pariahs
aay something about their fulfillment
of pledges? The prosperity we had
was suddenly checked. It oannot
be as quickly re-established. It is
one thing to arrest the speed of a
heavily loaded wagon. It is quite
another thing to restore its motion.
In view of the record, known and
suffered of all men, these fellows
who are now taunting should sub
side. They are discredited; they
are spurious and repudiated “re
formers.” They should quietly and
peaoeably bide their time. In due
season prosperity will be restored,
and the women will be singing again
at their work and the children at
their play.—Fromont Tribune.
A NEW LEADER.
The democratic party has a new
leader. He is Joseph W. Bailey of
Texas, who will today receive the sup
port of the democrats of the house
of representatives for speaker. The
country does not know muoh cf Mr.
Bailey. It is safe to say that a large
majority of democrats have not beard
of him. He represents the Fifth
Texas district, but is a native of Mis?
sissippL He is a young man, being
not yet 34, and is a lawyer. He will
enter upon his fourth consecutive
term in congress today, but his
name has not been prominently
identified with any legislation except
a bill providing for voluntary bank
ruptcy which nobody familiar with
the subject approved.
Mr. Bailey has, however, been
something of a factor in democratic
politics. It is interesting to note
that as a member of the Chicago
convention he was opposed to the
nomination of Mr. Bryan, regarding
him os essentially a populist. Mi.
Bailey was so dissatisfied with
Bryan’s nomination that he published
a letter declining to run for congrsa,
but was finally persuaded to accept
a renomination, which carried with it
support of the popocratic ticket. As
the democratic leader in the house
of representatives, the Texas con
gressman will have a vantage ground
for his ambition that will enable him
to broaden his leadership if he have
the ability to do so. That he has
ability must be presumed from the
fact of his having been successful
over such democratic veterans as
McMillin of Tennessee and Bland
of Missouri. Mr. Bailey will have
the best possible opportunity in the
present congress to show what there
is in him. If he can win prestige
as a leader the chance is now before
him. Should he justify the evident
confidence of his democratic col
leagues he will become a force to be
reckoned with by the aspirants for
the democratic presidential nomina
tion in 1900. Mr. Bailey has
bounded into national prominence
and his future will be watched with
no little interest.—Omaha Bee.
If the free traders will recall the
fact that they were defeated at the
last election, it may serve as an
antidote to the madness that is
making them foam at the mouth
because protection is going to have
another inning.
The selection of Bailey, of Texas,
for leader and the turning down of
McMillin, of Tennessee, who was his
opponent, by tho democrats of the
house. Is regarded ns a direct slap
at one William Jennings Bryau,
whose representative McMillin
claimed to be.
