Grant us, thou sovereiga disposer 0 . mortal ills, a financial cyclone . that will wreck the count ry and dismal poverty to bring every house hold, for without such a cataclysm, we are, indeed, doomed to wander the cheerless outer darkness of an eternity and never hope to bask for a single moment in the joyous sunshine of the Federal pie counter. Let stocks fall with the velocity of a clown sliding down a greased rope. May one mighty run be made on the banks till every door is :losed and Mack and Mark are made to tremble liks an earthquake.

Wev'e yelled "rotten beef' and 44 pull down the flag at Manila" and everything else we could think of. Now give us a panic and we'll serve thee more and yell for anything thou would have us veil. Amen, EDITORIAL THOUGHTS. The Senator from South Dakota has been Pettigrew ing some more. If Mr. Bryan presents any new issues he doesn't set them out where the people can see them. If snarling and faultfinding made a statesman, Senator Pettigrew would be one with I his boots on,- instead of the ! nuisance he is. Some of the squirrel-tails are talking of reading Gov ernor Dan Jones f of Ark., out of the democratic party because he favors expansion. . It isn't neces.sary for speak ers to defend the administra tion now-J?v;:. All they have got to- do is to keep quiet and let General Pros perity do the talking. The deniocrats cannot boast of a cardinal principle other that opposition to whatever the republicans advocate. The party that fights ex pansion will stand no more show in the future of this country than a one legged man in a foot race, or a hair lipped boy . in a whistling school. If the democrats don't al ready know that no party has ever been defeated by circulating lying scandals a fainst it, they should post up a little on political histo ry- Since the stars sang to gether the democrats have never agreed on issues Hen ry Watersqn says there is no hope fdr his party unless it gives up its silver craze and goes back to. democratic principles. Organization wins more battles than any other one force. Organization costs money, so don't hesitate ta contribute to ..the- campaign fund to keep the splendid re publican organization in good condition. Ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, who is fully as long as Bryan on brains, but perhaps much shorter on wind, isn't afraid to talk expansion to the democrats. He goes for the skedaddlers. The man who sat on a limb and sawed it off between himself and the tree didn't have much sense, but he was .a philosopher compared to the fellows who propose to eliminate the trust evil by repealing the Protective Tariff laws. In Chicago a wolf has been killed inside the limits of Chicago Now let New York keep her, end up by killing an octopus in the Hudson river. Or perhaps St. Louis might catch a mi crobe in her, water from Chicago. Mr. Bryan V friends would better keep a close watch on him. Since he said be was too busy to talk there have been doubts ab;out his mind. Nobody had ever known him to be too. busy to talk before, and talking has- been .about hi & qui v; pccuxKtipn for the last four years.' The St. Paul, Minnesota, Herald; remarks that the $19,000 prize money which Admiral Dewey gets ought to be enough to buy the baby a frock. bWe would like to know whose baby the Her ald is talking about. Dewey is no relation of Grover Cleve land. - The Maryland legislature decided not to invite Col. Wyllyum Jennings Bryan to' speak before it. Very na tural! This legislature is democratic, and its members noticed the effect of Wyl- lyum's speeches in Ohio and Kentucky during the last i a -f r campaign ana xnereiore dreaded the consequence. The democrats have al ways been disposed to criti cise the republicans for select ing men to fill all important political offices who are thrifty in their private busi ness and have accumulated much of the world's goods. This is another clear case of demecratic incompetency. The state or national gov ernment is like the affairs of an individual, but qn a larger scale, and a man who is not thrifty in his private busi ness .is unfitted to hold pub lic office. Men who are shrewd in private business make the best officers. v Lots of little ,squirrel:tail ed democratic editors -believe that they know more- abjout how the government should be run than McKinley does, and yet they couldn't keep their own business from go ing to the devil were it not for the help they receive from republicans who I take their papers. Bryan is again quoting scripture to prove that dire calamity exists at home and abroad, but such methods will have but little effect on the four million workingmen wbo are getting better wa ges than they did when they heard this song 4 years ago, besides Shakespear says: 44 An evil soul producing ho ly witness, is like a villian with a smiling cheek." Mr. Sibley, once one of the most frantic free silver cranks in the country, has now come almost entirely to the republican party, admit ting frankly that the - logic of events has i proved that his former position was a mistaken one. Naturalljr, his old party friends .are biting -their thgmbsv t tliioi and making remarks about Judas Iscariot.j . But Mr. Sibley doesn't seem to mind. He knows that Jie is right. Governor Jcnes of Ark ansas, is advocating republi can doctrine right along. In a recent speetfh he said: 4 4 The veriest nonsense of it all is to confound expansion with imperialism." That's what we have contended all the while. Our present ex pansion policy has about .as much to dp with imperialism as the rings on a coon's tail have to do with, the spots on the sun. Our banner club for1 this week is sent by Giles Wade, of Alum Ridge, Va., Mr. Wade sends club of 10 an nual subs to the Weekly Y. J. and says that he will have more to follow soon. Let 'em come. If all our readers will go thus and do likewise, we'll agree to double the size of-the Y. J, at once, put in a perfecting press; give the news in general and make the political end of the pa per the hottest thing in Dixie. ;v Our big colleges are get ting undesirable reputation of harboring freaks. Prof. E. C . Kenney j "who has been connected with 'Cornell and Johns Hopkins, is champion- ing the cause of Roberts, the polygamist; or posing as a humorist, we are not quite certain which. He recentlv said: 44 It seems remarkable that in a land where old maids are forever complain ing because men will not marry them, that when one is elected to Congress who has been large hearted enough to take three or four wives, he should have such trouble in taking his seat." Prof. Kenney must have had ex- ceptional opportunities, or must have come in . contact with an exceptional class of "old maids." ' Not long since word was passed down the line of the democratic encampment from the gutter snipes at Wash ington to the one gallus fel lows in the remotest corner of the Union that some very smutty financial transaction had been going on between some high officials of the government0 and a certain New York bank. The demo cratic editors grabbed up the charge and rolled it a s -a I sweet morsel" tender their tongues. They served it hot and cold, ; They - flavor ed "it witEP - pmvricatipn , puffed it up with democratic gas , and made it it pair of Aguinaldo legs and turned it loose to do missionary work among the brethren. Every democrat heard it or read it that takes any notice of anything; and many, of course, believed the charges were well ' founded . But when President McKinley offered to furnish any and all information desired by Congress concerning any branch of the government it put a quietus on those demo cratic editors, who had been norating this gossip. They are not saying aMessed word about those transactions now. On the other hand so far as we have noticed not a single one of those editors has had the manliness to inform his readers of the fact that the charge turned out to be noth ing but a democratic mare's nest. By this method, they leave the im pression with their readers that the charg es are true, and that the ad ministration stands condemn ed. This is no new trick with the democrats. Who ever heard of one of them recanting however inconsis tent the charge might have been. - Tterhpwl.- on the string until that is proven a , lie, then they -drop -.- it and : proceed to hunt another mare's nest.
