We hear men prate; of the princi

that those men had no principles, be
yond their countries glory. Men
of this samp are no longer found in
the halls of Corigress.or if there, - they

their voices are drowned in the hurri

Tjhere is a tremendous effort now
making within the Republican party
to keep that organizj t cn from being
possessed by the McKinley craze, a
crazje which threatens to bring serious ;
trouble upon the party and country
both. Most of the Republican states
men seem to have lost their heads or
their hearts. They are screaming
for McKiniey as originals,; or they
are climbing into .the McKinley wag
on as irighten.ed and penitent desert
ers from other candidates. The bus
iness w orld together with the ' mass
of thoughtful, sober, and self-respecting
Americans, is praying that it may
be saved from McKinley. ;
' Possibly some people may not ap
preciate justly the fact that the Repub
lican leaders who .will not agree to
McKinley 's nomination, and who are
fighting with undiminishing resolu
tion against ian apparently over whelm
ing force of delegates and against, fac
tional threats of vengeance lor the
defeated,, are Thomas C. Piatt, of
New York, Matthew S. Quay, of
Pennsylvania, and James S.iClarkson
of Iowa, three polititians who - have
fcr years been particular targets for
the sneers and denunciations which
tie Mugwumps of both parties have
been accustomed to fling at men of
qf their station. I;

"MISQUOTKO
Under this heading, the; Times of
last week; writes an editorial a column
and a half long. About thir:y lines
of which j space is devoted to the
charge of being "rhisquoted," and the
residue cf our contemporaries valua

In quoting from a previous issue of
the Times, we copied the idea rather
than the exact words. This was done
not, as our brother seems to think,
. with the intentiou of misrepresenting
- him to our readers, but; simply be-
- i
cause the copy of his paper was mis
placed and only the.(nori)sense of his
argument "was remembered. Nor
yet did we intend to attack his posi
tion as an advocate of Silver.
We have never Usurped, nor ' have
we attempted to usurp, jthe right of
any American citizen to the full and

What we said, and what we repeat,
is, that now, when j Democracy
stands in need, not only of the sup
port, but the consistent support of every
nevvspapen published in its ranks,
it appears to us but poor policy for
one ot those papers to ask : Will a
sane man, having the interest ot his

country at heart, vote far a man who
believes in the gold standard ? And
in the next issue of the j paper admit,
that it is not only possible for a. gold

It has been remarked that it was a
wise move'on the part of England to
send East Indian troops to fight in
the Soudan instead of British ' regi
ments, but this! is hot the first time
this programme, has been adopted. It
will be remembered that in the war
of the revolution between the United
Colonies and England the Hessians
formed no small part of the invading
army. In almost all their wars Brit
ish gold has been Used to hire men
to do their fighting, and it should not
create any wonder that the East In
dian troops are sent forward to the
Soudan to do1 the same thiriq:. If
. 1 ....
they win, however, it will be an Eng
lish conquest. It is true that the East
Indians, being acclimated to the coun
try, are much better suited to
make a campaign in the Soudan than
the natives of England, but all the
same, if this was not sr1 "the - Rrif-
convention but that, ii nominated, the , , , , ' t , ' , ,

New line dress good. M. T. Young
, Probably since Congresses first as
sembled at, Washington there never
was one which had greater opportu
nity than the Fifty-fourth Congress
to afford the country helpful legisla
tion, or which more utterly failed to
grasp its opportunity.
It would have greatly diminished
the chances of electing a Republican
Congress and President in Novem
ber if this Congress had followed the
recommendations of the President
with regard to financial legislation.
It would have been almost as hazar
dous .to have adopted some tempor
ary measure, like a: beer tax, a tax on
coffee or tea, or a slight tax on sugar,
to cover the lessening deficit in the
Federal revenue. But, notwithstand
ing the early admission that tbe op
erations of the Treasury would not
hayn been facilitated and large sums
of money saved by arming ' the
Trea?uryt with the power to issue
low-interest short-term bonds, and
more revenue was an immediate ne
cessity, partisanship overbore every
other consideration. Speaker Reecl
announced at the beginning of the
session that it would be a do-nothing
Congress. He . has made goodhis
prophecy.
Nothing has been done. except to
make heavy appropriations, and by
neglect and delay to p-olong -a sea
son of industrial distress and appre
hension in the hope therefrom to
reap political advantage.
These are hard words, but they
are true. I(the need confirmation
beyond that which the facts bear pn
their face the confirmation is to be
found io trie admissions of Republi
can leaders that their inactivity has
been deliberate. They have only at
tempted such general legislation as
