The Bartley case should be a
warning to public officials.
The trouble with the populists is
an old one with political parties—
too many men who want to be the
whole thing.

Tn jury in the Bartley ease
returned a verdict ot guilty. They
fixed the amount of his embezzle
ment at f151,88445.
Son democratic senators find
protection quite good enough for
them and their states, but they
insist upon calling it by another
name. _ _ _
Thx new treaty for the annexa
tion of Hawaii will be as popular as
the one Mr. Cleveland withdrew
from the senate in defiance of pnblic
opinion.
Thi new populist editor has not
been received by the “tried and
true” populists with open arxnB.
They will keep him on probation
for a few years.

No scmna on earth can get money
among the people aa quickly as
improving business, and nothing
will improve business as quickly as
the new tariff bill.
Son editors are making money
for themselves by calamity howling,
and as long as they oan do that they
will keep up the howling, regardless
of they injury they may do others.
“A wisi man may ohauge his
mind, a fool, never.”—Independent.
The editor of the Independent
ahould be classed among the wisest
of the sages, if the above saying is
true. _
Democratic discussion, in and out
of the senate, was hardly necessary
to convince anybody that the Chi
cago platform was constructed
regardless of principles and solely
to get votes.

It is surprising to note how quiet
some of the loudest howlers against
large government appropriations
can become when an appropriation
is made to be expended in their
immediate vicinity.

of free trade by England. Now let

W. I. Bbtas is said to be pre
paring for a trip around the world
with his family. And this is the
man who has succeeded so admir
ably in failing to lay by anything
for a rainy day that by virtue of his
poverty he has begun to be consid
ered the pstron saint of the poor!
This is the fellow Who, having no
visable means of support, made a
grand stand play of refusing the
ordinary courtesies which railroads
offer to all public men, during the
early part of his late campaign, and
then rode on a pass in a private oar
all over the country until election!
Bis extensive travels and the prince
ly luxuries whioh he then enjoyed
were explained by his dnpes here at
being paid for by the democratic
national oommittee. Will they still
claim that Chairman Jones is gen
| |p/
eronsly paying the freight, or wil
they candidly admit that there is i
plutocratic “nigger in the woodpile’
whose objects and purposes are to<
deep for them to fathom ?—St
Paul Republican.
“Let me tell you my countrymen,
that resuscitation will not be pro
moted by recrimination. The dis
tress of the present will not be
relieved by a distrust of the future.
A patriot makes a better citizen than
a pessimist. And we have got to be
patient Much as we want to move
out of the old house we cannot
afford to do it until the new house
is finished. A tariff law half made
is of no practical use except to
indicate that in a little while a whole
tariff law will be done, and it is
making progress. It is reaching
the end and when the end comes
we will have business confidence and
industrial activity. Let ns keep
steady heads and steady hearts.
The country is not going backward
but forward. American energy has
not been distroyed by the storms of
the past. It will yet triumph
through wise end beneficient legis
lation.”—President McKinley at
Philadelphia.
GOING TO THE GOLD STANDARD.
It would not be surprising if
Mexico before long should formally
abandon the single silver standard
which is forced upon it by the main
tenance of free and unlimited coin
age of silver. As a matter of faot,
even Mexico has abandoned the
single silver standard in many
respects. For example, Mexico has
abandoned the silver standard in the
national debt. Mexico uses the
single gold standard in measuring
and stating its whole publio debt,
the national bonds being expressly
payable, principal and interest, in
gold, and gold alone. Not only so,
but Mexico provides for a vast and
growing use of the single gold
standard, as against the silver
standard, by guaranteeing to all
citizens freedom of contraot—that is
to say, freedom to use the gold
standard. A very large part of the
business men of Mexico avail them
selves of this freedom. Nearly all
the large money transactions in
Mexico, in so far as they involve
future payments, are exclusively on
the single gold standard. The bonds
of the various states and munici
palities, the funded obligations for
city and all extensive publio improve
vents, the fixed debts of most of the
great railroad corporations are con
tracted on the single gold standard.
Even the bonds of most of the big
silver mining companies are gold
bonds. This is wise policy on the
part of the government of Mexico.
It discards the silver and usob the
gold standard in the national debt
for the simple reason that it pays to
do so. It can make a better bar
gain on the latter than on the form
er. It can borrow on better terms.
And as the Mexioan government can
do so, it is likewise good sense to
give all citizens the opportunity to
do the same, if they choose. They
do choose. The result is, as before
remarked, that while in general the
silver standard is in vogue, by vir
tue of free and unlimited coinage of
silver, nevertheless the silver stand
ard is being gradually displaced by
the superior merit and economy of
the gold standard. It is a natural
process, an evolution of business,
whereby the way may be prepared
for Mexico to get wholly and legally
onto the gold standard, as soon as it
advances in civilization and industry
to a point making such change im
perative. That time must come,
just as surely as Mexico shall pro
gross, and it may come much sooner
than has been anticipated. With
Japan and the South American
countries, so long on a silver mono
metalie basis, so rapidly rejecting it
and adopting the gold standard,
Mexico can hardly long remain in
“splendid issolation,” to use the
phrase of current British political
slang. If is a curious fact, to be
emphasized in this connection, that
the Bryanitee are wedded to a more
rigid silver monometalism than
exists even in Mexico. For it is i
part of their program, not only tc
force silver monometalism throng!
free and unlimited coinage of silver
but also to rivit it by abolishing
freedom of contract, so that n<
1 debtor and no other person conic
i have the option of using the gold 01
1 the silver standard, even though the
i option might be, as it certainly is ic
Mexico, of vital importance.—Sious

THE AWFUL WORK OF HANNA
A year ago today the price oi
hogs was lower than it is today and
it is constantly rising.
Who has done this fearful deed ?
Who has gone into the hog lot and
forced the American farmer to accept
more of this tainted, pointed gold
for his pigs than he received a year
ago? Who is this conspirator that
is slyly undermining American man
hood by cunningly putting money—
vile, slimy, debasing, soul-destroying
money—in the pockets of the peo
ple? Everyone knows the name of
this knave. It is that plutocratic
old devil of a Mark Hanna.
Wheat brings more today than it
did in the market a year ago.
Mark Hanna’s wily hand is seen
in this diabolical transaction. For
is not the price of our sacred silver
going down, down, down, until sil
ver is little better than mud ? Who
but a fiend incarnate like this Hanna
could plan and carry cut such a
nefarious, blasphemous plot to shat
ter the heaven-given creed of our
people that wheat and silver rise
and fall together? Mark Hanna,
the arch destroyer of calamity, has
wrougut tnis sacrilegious confasioa I
Cora is going up every day. In
terest rates are gradually receding.
Money is easier to get.
A great plot against our beloved
woes and lamentations is being
designed and manipulated. A hell
born scheme to rob the populist of
his misery—the very gem of his
soul—is ripening, and that arch
demon, Hanna, has cultivated this
scheme to its awful fruition.
Something should ba done to pnt
down this man. He is destroying
the blessed grief of the populists;
he is slowly sapping the glorious
unhapiness from the pigeon-toed
dervishes of calamity. Hanna is
stealing all the joy from the tears of
democracy; he is robbing the orphan
jaokasB of his dolorous complaint.
In the name of suffering insanity,
can’t someone stop the cruel work of
this monster, Hanna! Can’t we
have a few national mishaps, a pes
tilence or a panio—anything that
will tune up the lugubrious hoss
fiddle of the populists and make
them snort again. For now their
harp is on the willows and the goose
hangs high.—Emporia (Kan.)

Nr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the

of the moat widely known men in the

three years of suffering. He says: “I

nothing could be done for me, and my
friends were fully convinced that noth

then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
