you are not so selfish as to denjr
your neighbor a good thirig when
it doesn't cost 3'ou anything for
him to obtain it. Now the point
ve are striking at is this : Do you
believe in' the doctrine tho Yellow
Jacket teaches and in trie fight it
Ais making? Do you .desire to help
in defending the cause of Republi
canism? If you do, then kve want
t 1 sk you to help circulate the
J. a little further amclng your
neighbors. You know its
politics.

The annals of athletics
fail to record anything to
equal the present exhibition!
of base running given by Ag
uinaldo's seat of government.
There are a number of
members of Aguinaldo s cab
inet amd congress who are
quite ready to trade their
independence for an office.
! I
The financial bill prepared
by the republican caucus
committee is likely to be a
mong the first bills passed
by the House r
Roberts, the Utah polyga
mist, Trill have more respect
for the strength for the uni
ted sentiment of Ameicau
womanhood after he is kick,
ed out of the Hotme.
One of the things that it
is difficult to understand is
why any man should wish to
be a democrotic leader in the
House during the present
Congress.
Goebel is now in a position
to testify that political burg
lary is just as uncertain as
the other kind, no matter
how careful plans are or hoy
good tools are.
Aguinaldo had to eat his
Thanksgiving day dinner on
the run, and it was a mighty
skimpy, meal, if captured
Filipinos tell the truth about
his commissary department.
Republican members of
the House should keep the
size of the party majority in
mind, and see that absentee
ism is not allowed to" make
trouble for the leaders.
We hope our new fixtures
will reach-usm time to get
out the next issue of our pa
per much improved over the
present.
We are now supplied with
order blanks for taking sub
scriptions to the Y. J. All
our agents will be supplied
as soon as we can mail them

clear evidenc that the Ad

presence of nitid to retain the
night key.
P
Democratic howling will
not prevent Congress, re
publican in . Voth branches,
President.
A southern contemporary
declares 44 thaVMr. Bryan is
a mere man and not a god."
Can it be possible that the
paper has sold out to Wall
Street?
The de,rn erratic managers
woifMVdoYl to -call in an
eeFt;.hQCf?Sj trainer, when
the effort is,made to hitch
the Xlarylanu' democratic
nag to the Chicago platform.
Every indication points to
the fact that Mr. Hanna
will not manage next year's
republican campaign, but it
will not be because of the
democrats objecting to him.
Evidently, democratic
chairman Jones pins his faith
to the Sam Jones votes in
Ohio, but in this case some
other kind of a pin than a
coupling pin will have to be
used.
There is reason to believe
that the contemplated fight
between Jim Jeffries and. Jim
Corbet will excite about as
much interest as the election
returns from Virginia usually
do.
The Hon. John P. Altgeld
seems to have taken on a
new lease of political life
since the Nebraska election,
though it is difficult to see
how he figured out a "vindi
cation" for himself from the
result of that state.
The poor old . democratic
donkey is to be loaded down
with the octopus trust next
year. Haying borne the sil
ver load for. several years it
is reasonable to suppose that
the longsuffering beast vyill
welcome the change of bur
den. -
Jerry Simpson's paper is
called "The Bayonet. " The
name was doubtless selected
in order to keep in touch
with the times. So . far it
has developed into a blank
cartridge.
While denouncing- Mark
Hanna, an Ohio politician
broke his arm in making a
speech. However his jaw- j
bone remained intact, and he
had no difficulty iu resuming
his speech, using the other
arm.

Col. Henderson knors his!
business, and is attending
strictly to it, without paying
any attention to the various
program ins arranged for him !
by enterprising newspaper
men.
President McKinley, un
like his--, predecessor, never)
regards Congress as being!
ion his hands; he knows the
art of making use of Sena
tors and representatives as
adrisers, and practices it.
Senator Morgan of Ala
bama places the situation in
a very striking manner be-
ifore the country,' when he
says that expansion is ac
complished, and imperialism
is impossible.
Great care should be ta
ken in breaking the news of
Aguinaldo's loss of capital,
government, army, son, and
typewriter, to the hysterical
Miss Nancies who have been
yelling "haul do vrn the flag."
Apparent , what has held
the Goebelites in check in
Kentucky, is the fear that
any considerable amount of
throwing out would very
likely be followed by some
lively stringing up.
No republican should ren
der any aid: to ex-Senator!
Gorman, who is scheming to
prevent Mr. Bryans nomina
tion again; Mr. Bryan is the
man ninety-nine per cent of
the republicans would prefer
to defeat.
France also has an anti
expansion party, which ad
vocates the dropping of all
the outside possessions of
France. If they are not
more numerous than the
anti's of this country they
will not accomplish m.uch.
The Hon. Mr. Sulzer, of j
iNew x one, wno is one or me
candidates, for . the demo
cratic nomination for Speak
er, declares, in a loud;voicc,
that he expects to secure the
solid support of the New
England democratic Con
gressmen. This sounds big,
but it only means two more
votes.
Now is a good time of the
year to hustle about and get
iup a club.for the Yellow Jack-
et.
The latest prediction . giv
en out by a contemporary is
that if Mr. Bryan can carry
New York and Ohio, his
chances for the presidency
will be very bright. To this
prediction we are disposed
to give an unqualified assent.
It remains to be seen what
the democrats will find to
howl about after the Philip
pine war has been ended and
Mark Hanna has resigned as
national chairman of the re
publican party. No, we for
got, there's the trust octo
pus. With each issue of the
Yellow Jacket quite a num
ber of subscriptions expire,
and we hope each subscriber
will take due notice of the
date on the label and act ac
cordingly. .
We concede the ability of
Mr. Brynn as a talker. He
has been accustomed to talk
against. time in the west, but
when it comes to talking a
gainst factory smoke in New
England, we fear that he
will find his match.
Tire re was a legal execu
tion in South Carolina re
cently, and one of the ne
groes executed was sogreat
ful for the innovation that
he made a speech on the scaf
fold thanking the public for
its indulgence,
do move."
"The
world
Carl Schurz expresses the
opinion that . the cause of
anti-expansion was injured
by being associated with free
silver, and then there are
silverites who are convinced
that anti-expansion is not a
proper associate for. free silver-
The opposition had
better eet together and do
ci'de on a platform that will
stick. .
It seems that some people
have got it into their heads
that an editor can live on
wind and saw dust and pay
his bills with promises. Ev
ery few days we receive let
ters from fellows who ask us
to send them the Y. J. and
they will pay for it before
the year is out. We could
add "thousands of namep on
our books every month if we
were to addopt this plan, but
we don't propose to do it.
We consider one bird in the
hand worth a whole flock of
geese on the wing, and as it
costs us about SOcentsayear
to publish 52 papers we pro
pose to run nb credit concern.
