The principal question in re gard to Li Hung Chang is which side he is fooling. One reason why McKinley is not going to make speeches this year is because he doesn't have to. The' Filipinos must believe in free silver. They have taken to counterfeiting with the great est gusto. It's rather strange that the clairvoyant who was recently arrested in New Yrork for larce ny couldn't have foreseen her own danger. The only difference betweei a horse thief and a ballot thief is that the former is a high- toned gentleman compared with the latter. The terrors of Alaska have been added to by the news that there is a whiskey famine at Dawson. No rose without its thorn, you know. Some time ago the Chicago Chronicle (democratic) said: At Kan sas City a platform can be constructed to elect McKin ley and Roosevelt. Well, the dems did it. Thanks, boys. 4 , 1 lie dems ie grow nai ... w-rt t It, 1 . tO' denouncer the surplus, but r gave anybody a anything like that were in jower. s the way it worked. Do you see ! In '96 Bryan said he expected to carry every state in the Un ion. He says this year McKiii- ley will not carry a single str Bryan was wild in '96 but I he seems raving becussed ihis year. Col. Billy Bryan is so be on being consistent in opposing "militarism" that it is said he wont use "drills" in putting in his oats. He ought to use a forked stick like they do down in free' silver Mexico. Bryan's statement that "pros- penty is only temporary , would come true if Billy was e- lected. But he's wabbled on the spindle again, because Mack is going to be elected and pros perity will continue. Bryan says the republican platform is exactly what every body knew it would be. Cer tainly. The people themselves made it. But the democratic platform is not what the people expected, for they didn't think the democratic party had got ten so destitute of a backbone that it had to fall down on its bellv and let Bryan kick it into the adODUOn oi uis .-uuauuiai policies ' when it didn t wan them. , il if they neye yki chance to d0 I wriest laitfxT Does not spell any thing, but what wj started out to say was this: Do not sei postage stamps on subscriptions to Y. J.; and when you send Money Ordlrs have them drawn on Wilkesboro, N Moravian Falls is not a M. O. office. It appears that so far as the Presidential candidates are con cerned, that we are to have a si lent campaign this year. Bryan has talked himself about ,out and McKinley doer n't need to talk. at all." Henry Watterson savs that Croker was originally aT tough and later, having acquired wealth, "the devil knows how", blossomed out into "a cheap flash, swell and sport." This portrait leaves little to be de sired. The machine democracy of Arkansas is running a man for governor who asserts that he doesn't wash nor change shirts once a month. Wouldn't he make a desirable hand to sit up with the free silver corpse this hot weather? Shew-izz ! One of the best of the cam paign buttons reads : "The peo ple will not vote themselves in to the poor house twice in eight years." There is more brain in V that button than the ayerage democratic politician carries in his head. Four years ago under demo cratic rule, remember the shipment of gold to Europe from this country not only caused alarm, but created dis trust. Today we hardly hear a commentabout a gold ship ment. Mr. Democrat, can you see the milk of this cocoanut? rovidence has given the big crops of the past .jr-years, but the republican part3'' made the people able to buy and con- sura'e Jlhese crops, and open new avdguesjar our surplus prod ucts. The people are highly fa vored when Providence and the renublicans are on their side. It affords no little curiosity to compare President McKinley 's speeches in '96 with those of Col. Bryan of that year. McKinley 's read today as well as they ever did, while Billy Battercake's ap pear like a laun dried petticoat after a Kansas cyclone had run thru it. Cuba' is to be set free within eight or nine months. Call up that little wise-acre know-it-all democrat who has been shoot ing off his mouth like a gatling gun that the U. S. had broken its pledge to Cuba and was go ing to hold the country for sugr ar kings and others to speculate over, break the news to the young rooster and watch his jaw fall.

This week he sends us a club of 25 subs and accompanying his order was the following words of encourage- ment : Let me" say to you that you are on tlie rignt road, just lieep on ana you are sure to get the reward.
