The men who are so bla tantly attacking the admin istration are not the men who have faith in the repub lic. They are of the same stripe as the men who did not believe the Federal Gov ernment could hold the Union of States intact, and who - - shouted that 4 4 the war is a failure." But the Union was held together and the intelligent men in the States that strove to set up a con federation of States were the quickest to realize, when the end came, that the Union was tobe preferred to two republics. Wilmington, Del, News. In a s'peech made before the united commercial bodies of New York on the evening of the 10th inst. Governor Roosevelt gave expression to a sentiment which is self ev ident, but which is quite frequently ignored. He said: 4 4E very now and then we need to be reminded that if we kill the capitalist the la borer goes too. We can't give prosperity to the man with the dinner pail except by gvg prosperity to all. That's a truism which it ought not to be necessary to repeat but which it is." New York, Iron Age. McKinley or Bryan. - y The Greenville News, a Democratic paper printed at Greenville, S. C. gave out the following a few weeks ago: 4 4 The Greenville News is not a McKinley organ, but it would on the, whole, rath er be a McKinley organ than a Bryan monkey, jumping to the pulling of a sting in Nebraska." This, of course, raised the nap of the Brvantish editors down there and they pro ceded to give him 4 what he needed," which causes the News in its issue of March 27 to define its position still more clearly and forcibly.. It says: 44As. between McKinley and Bryan The , Greenville News is distinctly for Mc Kinley! We regard him as representing not our political principles, but the progress and commercial prosperity of the country . On the other hand Colonel Bryan is, in our view, as far from Demo cratic , principles as McKinley is, and represents stagnation and commercial disaster. Between a republican repre senting prosperity and sanity and a populist representing disaster . lunacy and irrespon sibility we are for the Repub lican. This because we are interested in the good of the country more than in the . 1 ". A t R of politicians." Greenville is situated in the. midst of a manufacturing settlement where the spind les are- -humming and the people have employment and are independent, and the News'has the good -sense and the manhood to stand up in the face of his party and say that he is 4tinteres ted in the good of the coun try more than the success of any special crowd of politi cians. If the press gener ally was thus disposed to recognize the condition of things and to stand for the good of the people instead of catering to politicians the people would be happy and prosperous and would not have to witness and feel the occasional distressing calam ities that sweep over our country. Union Republican. 3Ioney Flowed Like Water. Cut this out and paste it in vour hat and the next time you hear one of those know-it-alls spouting about 44 Mark Hanna's Monev"and how republicans use it to buy votes and influence leg islation, just read to him the following facts about how the democrats used money to bribe the Montana legis lature to vote for Clark for Senator. -This lays all the alleged republican deals in the shade. Remember too as you go along that Clark is a great Bryan man and that Col. Bryan so far has treated the Montana pro ceedings like he did the acts of the Louisville convention. Itl reference to the case of Clark, the following facts have been established and submitted to the Senate committee on privileges and elections: First That at least 15. members of the Legislature were paid by Mr. Clark and his agents for their votes. Second--That at least nine others were offered 'money for their votes and that the total amout of offers proved aggregate $175,000. Third That $100,000 was offered by Dr. Treaty, a friend and agent of Mr. Clark to bribe the Attorney Gen eral to dismiss proceedings in the Wellcome case. Fourth That the samea- gent of Mr. Clark offered Justice Hunt, of the Supreme Court $100,000 to dismiss the Wellcome case. Fifth That Mr. Clark and his friends engage in wholesale bribery and at tempted bribery of members of thQ legislature to secure the election of Mr. Clark Of the 95 members of the legislature (including Mr. Whiteside,) 26 were .sworn before this committee. Of these, the memoralists sav. success or any Special c ro wd riine'have taken oatns inai they were offered money to vote for Senator Clark . Two j they claim, have admitted the receipt of money, $5,000 each, after voting for- Mr. I Clark, but tried to excuse it. Either bv. direct! testimony or otherwise they claim that the acceptance of bribes is fixed upon 15 others. Howling Bryanitc Free Tradors. In 1896 Bryanites yowled j and screeched that prices j were too low, and that if I Bryan were elected higher! prices would most surely j prevail. But if McKinley were elected the price ot ev erything would fall and bus iness and the nation would j be ruined. Yet now that prices are higher, but mostly because; higher wages prevail and everybody can have work the Bryanites are howling like wolves iabout high prices. Nothing on earth can ever i satisfy Brvanite Free Tra- ders except low prices of foreign fabrics for genteel idlers, with one or two mil lion wage earners looking in vain for jobs while our cod fish aristocracy can buy things awful cheap, and ev erything will be as nice as can be, don'tcher know? A merican Economist. The following is said to 7 t be tacked to a roadside tree! in Boone county, West Va.:! 4Strade or Swiped with; the left car crept and tail j rntio A Icn rt 1 11 n Lr cnf rrt I the left hand hip and a hole in the other ear. Said hog shote disappeared from the" premises of the undercined ouner at night under circum stances point ing. to him be ing stole; said hog shote an -sweres to the name of Nellie, and he will eat from the hand and can stand on his hind legs like a dog, and is of an affectionate nature. Anvone returning said hog shote or letting me know where he is will confer a benefit on a in valid lady whose pet said shote was." Look out for your boys. Family government is the best government in the world. It does more for the state than jails or penitentiaries. The mother does more for the morals of a community than the preacher possibly can, and the father is in a position to do more for the country than k major gener al. Your boys, : : to" become intelligent and useful citizens; must be kept in school, . and don't forget that idleness is the devil's workshop. The boy that idles away his time in loafing about when he ought to be in school, is takr ing a step to become a tramp or a crimnal. Exv: The State of West Vir ginia is on the;high road to prosperity. The record of last year was a splendid one, but it is believed that dur- ing 1900 all figures will be beaten in the' growth and material, increase of every kind of huntan endeavor in that State. Investors from outside States are pouring in, and never before in its history has there been snch activity. Businessof all kinds is booming, everybody is em -ploed and e ver?body is hap py. The Little - Mountain State was one of the first be low the line to turn her fact: against democracy, and her people are how prospering as a result of their divorce from free silver and free trade. Ohio State Journal. .: i.v 44 A house divided against itself cannot stand , ' V and the democratic party is in just that quandary. All over the country the party is split in to faction's who quarrell, not over questions of public pol icy, but over the control of the party machinery. All this augurs well for a repub lican victory ; but the repub lican party is sure to win anyway for it has brought the country to the promised land of prosperity promi sed four years ago when William McKinley was introduced to the nation as the advance a gent of prosperity .
