Prom our EeguUr Correspondent Unless Mr. MeKinley stop ped hia earn, he heard the en thusiaBficeheers' given to the Boer en vors and the voices of the Senators and, Ite'pre 8frritrtt4vest .who Hpoke in be half of the two republics now Kinged in a death grapple with the world's mightiest empire, to an audienco which the largest theatre in WaMh ington would not hold. The Speakers at that reception pointed out the fact that from all over thi country there was a demand that thip government should save the lives of those little republics, which all the world knows could be done by o word from Mr. McKinley to thp Hritinh government, and yf t that word remaius unspoken.' Jnetead the mouthpieces of the administration are fray ing, "hush 1 we know that England intends to wipe ont those republics, but it is none of our, business; we hav promised to remain neutral and we must not say n word." A President who is afraid of England, is a rtov elty in this country,; and a decidedly unpleasant one too. . But the remedy lies in the hands of the people. Next November they can elect a President whose first act will be a dissolution of the part nership between the greatest republic and the worst land grabbing empire on earth, and if present signs are not misleading, they will do it. Hon. J. D. Oampau, Michi gan's member of the Demo ciatic National Committee, has been in Washington to consult with Chairman Jones, on the work of thecampnijrn He is confident that Michi gan will go democratic this year. Speaking of the mat ter, he said: "Even the re publicans in Michigan admit that the democrats Iihvh rea son to fncl encouraged. The opposition is in bad shape. The republicans have given a very bad stale administra tion. It cannot all be lai4 at the door ot Pingree, be cause the legislature was a bad as the officers he appoint etl. If there was fcver a reas on for turning the governing party out, it exists in Michi gan. It is not a matter of politics, but of common sense with regard for the interests of the State!' Thedemocrats will have a united part" with a strong organization to put up a good fight." A ntimbei of democratic Senators and Representa tives baye launched a boom for Representative McClellan, ol New York, a on of "little Mac", the democratis candi date for President in .1864, as Vice, President on the tick et with Col. Bryan, and are pushing it actively. Senator Morgan threw a bomb in the right direction when he offered a resolution directing the Senate Commit tee o n Interoceanic canals to investigate the two Canal trusts organized under the laws of New Jersey, and re port whether the object of these trusts is to coutrolany cahalbuilt , across the jstb- mus, or in . clef a ult of such 5 n rol 1 0 e m ba r ra ss t h is go y ernment; and to prevent, the construction of a Canal, Sen ator Morgan 8a a that in asking an investigation cf the new Panama Canal Com pany, he did not intend that the action on the Nicaragua Canal bill, which was favor ably reported to the Senate hst week, notwithstanding Boss HannaV opposition, should be delayed, but to "enable the President of the United States to check, ts cape from the destroy and the conspiracy, fouuded in fraud and corruption and ar rogance against the highest rights and privileges of the people and government of the United States." Mr.Mor gan will try to get a vote on the Nicaragua Canal Bill this week, but success isdoubtful, owing to republican opposi tion. . Secretary Root's second re ply to a Senate resolution asking for a detailed report of receipts and expenditures under our military .govern ment in Cuba, was onl a lit tle more satisfactory than the first. IZhe details are still lacking, but the report makeslt plain thatthecharge of extravagant expenditures ia Cuba," is well founded. For instance, the civil'salary list of the Cuban government for last rear, exclusive of $1, 337,000 paid on what there port calls the "labor pav rolF was $4,330,587. Add ing these totals together and more than one third of the total receipts-$10,000,000-are show n to have been paid out for civil salaries, not to mention the ?ost of the Mili tary Establishment, which is, rf course, paid by the United States Government. H o w long could a political party remain in control of one of our states which spent one third of the Stace's receipts for salaries? The Clark case has become badly complicated. Mr. Clark resigned and was ap pointed to fill the vacancy by the acting Governor of Mon tana. Gov. Smith denounc ed that appointmentns fraud ulent and appointed exCon gresKiuan Martin Mnginnis. The vacancy is likely to con tinue until the Montana .leg islature elects another Sena tor. The Republicans in Con gress are afraid to adopt either of the resolutions offer ed by democrats in the Sen ate and House for a Congres sional investigation of the Cuban stealings. The total of thosn stealings, already known, and the number of officials already implicated, makes the republicans fear fearless democrats might trace some of thestealingstu Washington, and implicate bigger officials than those now known to have been in the conspiracy at the Cuban end of the line.

Editor Demon at', r f ; One' of the most gigantic and hideous object lessons of the cruel anddestructive wor king of the gold standard is now being f presented to- the people. This too just at the time that the gold bugs ate try ing to delude the people in to the belief that the monej question is dead. " , ; It would melt the heart of a stone almost to read of the terrible suffering and misery death and desolation tbro' famine in India. To the gold standard is trucable much of this. Not that any one would suppose that the gold stan dard caused a failure of crops. ?ut from statements made by those who have issued the call for aid. It is clear to ail that it is not Jor a lack of money with which to pur chase the food. The sampan thorities who call for the aid tell us that two cents will pur chase food for a day, a n d that corn cun be nought for forty cents a bushel. From these and other statements it will be seen that very little mOney would be required to sustain lif&Y But, England having forced the people up on the gold standard, and having been a silver using people their money was more than half destroyed and has left tbp poorer classes liter ally without a purchasing me tiium. ' This is not the first famine in Inda in thememorj olmen now living, but is much more horrible than anything yet hnrd of. In former famines the people could take silver trinkets, of which they pos 8383 many in the ehape of ear rings, rings, pins, and idols and have them coined into monej with which they could purchase food. A 1 1 this is now changed and the poor suffering millions mils' die of starvation that the Rothchilds and thpir brother bondholders a n d bunkers may revel amid their heaps ol gold. The English government does not do her duty by these poor subjects of hers, after having brought them to this terrible plight. She turns her attention to the conquering and making more subjects that she n.av be able to exploit and get more gold. But we too are just now en gaged in the conquering bus iness, that we may be able to force our laws upon other people. The gold standard for instance, and we will soon have starving millions of our own subjects. It wont do to let England get before u&, dontchei know.

Rocke feller to the front as our rich est man. According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Mr.' Rockefel ler now has an income which is 5 per cent of a capital of 11,500,000,000. . If these figures be correct, the billionaire has -arrived. The power wielded by men of such vast wealth is tremen dous, and the day is coming when n few Rockefellers will be more powerful thun our government. But there is one safeguard. Death loves a shining mark, and under his touch the wealth of the billionaire scat tera among their heirs and becomes more generally dis tributed. Alarmists overestimate the danger.ot a plutocracy in 1 his country. The chances are that before many years the Jeffersotiiun idea of income tax will crystalize into law, and this, with an inheritance tax, will materially check the growth of great lortunes. In this big country there is room for billionaires. Let them come. The American people will take care of them selves in the future, as in the past, and for every evil they will find a remedy when they need it. .V.vV Seelig the PoItJ . .

"Stop it I Stop it for a year; then come and see me again." The young man stopped chewing, but he never went ' back again. When asked by his anxious friends why he never called on the million aire agaiu, he replied that he knew exactly what the man was driving at. "He'd hare r told me that now I have stopped drinking and amok ing and chewing, I must have saved enough to start myself in business. And I have." J.
