We take it that you know a good
thing when you see
you are not so selfish
your neighbor a good
t, and that
as to denv
thing when
it doesn't cost you anything for
him to obtain it. Now the point
we are striking at is tpis: Do you
believe in the doctjrin the Yellow
Jacket teaches and in the fight it
is making? Do you desire to help
in defending the caus4 of Republi
canism? If you do, t len we want
to ask you to help circulate the
Y. J. a little further among your
neighbors. You kno its politics.

EDITORIAL. NOTES.
. Men often make bluffs for
which they are sorry. Senator
"Billy," Mason for instance.
Those Ohio returns furnish
ample explanation of the new
democratic attack on Senator
Hanna.
Senator Caffery, of La., says
his party will nominate Bryan
again, and that he will gladly
assist in defeating him.
- The democratic party deser
ves congratulations for one
thing at least. It has been de
nounced by Eugene Debs.
It begins to look like Kentuc
ky will have to adopt the old
fashioned tow 11 -meeting mode
of securing justice.
Whoever pnts up the money
to pay for Mr. Bryan,s New
England speeches will buy a
gold brick.
Having fooled his doctors by
getting better, we trust tha
Vice President Hobart may go
further and get well.
We haven't seen any an-
nounceraent of the departure of
Senator Mason for South Africa
to fight for the Boers.
The cool nerve of Gov. Brad
ley seems to have been' a little
too much for the bluffing Goe-
belites, of Kentucky.
The oftener Mr. Bryan con
gratulates men of thej Goebel
stamp, on their attempts to
steal offices, the worse he will
be defeated, next year.
We wonder if the Hon. Fred
W7hite has not changed his mind
concerning the Iowa voters of
German descent since the elec
B
tion.
Were arguments necessar,
everv nuff of smoke from a fac-
tory chimney would furnish an
argunient against the Chicago
platform.
While Jerry Simpson succeed
ed in disposing of his fat cattle
at a good price, he still has that
lean populist newspaper on his
hands. : . .
It begins to look as if they
will still be stuffing ballot boxes
n Kentucky" about the time
when the rest of the countrv
will be stuffing turkeys. -.
Bereft of his private secretary
and his wife's wardrobe in the
hands of the enemy , it would
seem that Aguinaldo is in pret
ty bad way just at present.
Billy Mason is kept pretty
busy just at present chasing the.
beer microbes; and incidentally
acquiring a , good " blush" for
the coming session of Congress,
It would be safe to wager
that Mr. firyan will kill more
wild turkeys, during his Texas!
hunting trip, than he will get
electorial votes next year
Jones and Coxey would be an
excellent combination for the
middle, of the road populists
next year. The platform might
be -'The world owes us a living."
The question has been asked,
who would be the democratic
candidate should Bryan die.
We risk the assertion that in
such an unfortunate event the
party would die too.
Col. Henderson shows his
level head by declining to be in
terviewed on what he intends to
do when he becomes Speaker of
the House, saying that his acts
must talk for him.
Democratic Chairman Jones
expresses some peculiar views
on book-making, when he says
the result of the Ohio election
"speaks volumes for Democra-
It required several days for
Mr. Bryan to find some one to
congratulate in the state of
Maryland. The congratula-
tions were received by the silver
men. That's the joke !
The despicable yellow journal-
ists who are trying to arouse a
bubonic plague .scare in this
conntrv would deserve .little
sympathy if they we-e stricken
down with the plague.
It is said that Mr. Brvan in
tends to spend his winter build
ing up the democratic party rri
the east. The republicans . will
push him along in the good
worK and pay his expenses.
If there is one qualification
that fits a man for democratic
leadership, it is when he shows
a fondness for the sound of his
own voice. juaeea ov uns

If the reDUblican leaaers in
Maryland cannot get- together,
they should make way for men
who can. While that state is
by no means necessary to insure
republican success next year,
its electoral votes ought to be
found in the republican column.
Mr. Bryan is wise in having
two Strings to his bow, in laying
the wires to go to the u. b.
Senate, if he fails to be elected
President, as there is not the
slightest doubt that he will be
defeated by a much larger ma-
jority than in 96.
Now that 'Americans have
Undertaken to erect an earth-
quake proof palace for the Crown
Prince of Japan, we shall not be
surprised to see an advertise-
raent guaranteeing to make us

It would appear that immedi
ately after election dav, Senor
Aguinaldo, escorted by his
three feathers, took to the woods
and has remained there. Per
haps he js busily occupied in
the attempt to figure out a democratic-triumph
in KeutucKy.
"Why should the democrats
feel that they have a "kick"
coining to them because the,
House and Senate, both with
republican majorities, intend to
legislate in accordance with the
recommendations of a republi
can President.
Because everything points to
the reelection of President Mc-
Kinley is no reason why repub-
licans should allow overconfi-
dence to make them indifferent.

political success as well ias , of

treachery to the President and
Senator Hanna on the part of
Senator Foraker, will have to
revise their ideas. No citizen

pecially odious is the fact that
Goebel, who devised the ma
chinery of fraud, is to be the
beneficiary of its operation.
Now that Mr. Brvan has fore-
closed his mortguage on the
democratic nomination next
year by his victory in Nebraska,
and Mr. McKinleyJs generally
looked upon as . the republican
nominee, the' ambitious news
paper men are 'turning their
speculative faculties toward find
ing the probable running Jmates
for the heacis of the tickets.
It will require a long running
chain stitck to hem in Asuinal-
do.
The enthusiasm for Bryan
and Aguina!do seems to be con
fined to Nebraska and the Phil
ippines. The announcement is made
that the windmill of Col. Vm.
J. Bryan's farm is out of order.
This is itqt given out as "news."
Another democratic confer-
- r
ence in Chicago is booked for
the future. This time it will
partaKe of the features of an in
quest. ,
From Mr. Bryan's latest re
marks it is very evident that he
feels that- he is a consecrated
martyr to the cause of Bryan
ism. Notwithstanding all the noise
in Kentucky, one. can catch,
even at this great distance, the
strains of that touching song,
"Steal Away."
Now that South Dakota has
"come back into the republican
fold, it is presumed that the re
sult will sere to accentuate the
blushing-for-his-country act of
the Hon. Mr.. Pettigrew.
( Peril apstrillght of Aguin

peremptory demand : on the
part of Mrs. Aguinaldo that

should not take too much credit
for the precipitate flight of the

The anti-imperialists have re
peatedly circulated- the report
that Aguinaldo and his follow
ers were our allies, loyal and
true, in the capture of Manila,
and that their opposition did
not begin until they learned
that the Philippines were to be
transferred by Spain to the Uni-
ted States. Prof. Dean C. Wor
cester of. the- Philippine Com
mission in a recent speech said
that the fighting of the Span
iards preceding our occupation
of Manila was 'perfunctory
and designed only to save the
honor of the Spanish troops",
and that Aguinaldo did not as
sist because his - assistance was
neither required nor desired,
his actions for some months
previous to that time having
been the reverse of friendly to
us.
