The Democrats who are sneering- at
Prof. McGhe now will change their
countenances after the election when
McKinlev is elected.
Tha speech of Prof. J. S. McGhee
last Tuesday night was an able one.
He made several very strong points on
the money question, likewise on ex
pansion.
The Republican party has ever
.legislated for protecting American
labor from cominz into competition
with pauper labor abroad, or convict
labor at home.
"The party that hangs back," is
Gov. Roosevelt's description of the
Democratic organization for the last
forty years. It that time it has elected
but one President and it repudiated
him. .
Nikola Tesla is trying to prove that
La electrical results "the earth acts
entirely like an ordinary wire." If
the public were convinced of that
there would be a. great rush for rubber
boot.
There never was a time in the history
of the United United States when the
citizens should be more cartful when
, he should be more constant and exer
cise his intelligence more discreetely
than at the present time.
Norman A. Nozley is making telling
speeches for the Republican party
throughout Southeast Missouri. Mr.
3foxley is an orator and a reasoner
and he is making friends for himself
and votes for the Republican party.
Th Democrats admit that Hanna is
a great political manager, and now
they fear him as a campaign orator.
Well, its plain to be seen that the
Senator is not a spring chicken for he
can hold bis own almost anywhere.
"Sext XoTOtuber will tell the story.
The election of McKinley means con
tinued and accentuated prosperity;
his overthrow foreshadows the re
turn of the shadows that enveloped
the nation in gloom under the Cleve
land regime from '92 to '90.
A bill has been introduced into the
Mexican Congress to appropriate $30,
000 to the sufferers at Galveston. The
measure will, it is believed, pass by
a uniminous vote. No stronger ex
pression of sympathy could be render
ed her striken neighbors, and it will
go far towards wiping out tht last
vistige of ill-feeling between the races
growing out of the Mexican war.
"The only answer to the arguments
advanced by the Fusionists of South
Dakota is that Roosevelt was drunk.
Compl'iint was ma le to Lincoln that
tirant was drunk during the Snal
campaign against Vicksburg. The
Wreat President said: "If I can find
he brand of whisky us-ed by Grant
I wiJl order a barrel for each Union
jeBeral." Let's have more of the
Jfioosefelt drunkenness.
The prosperity and wellfare of this
country is now at stake, and it lies in
the power of the people to say wheth
er we shall continue enjoying the good
aiuaes we have had during the McKin
iey administaation or thow us into the
iathy that will lead to ruin and pau
perism. .How can a people hesitate
when the facts are o plain. "Let
well enough alone" should be the
motto of every American citizen.
John M. Palmer, the most promt
sient figure in the history of Illinois
is dead. Mr. Palmer was
f i
born on Eagle Creek, in Scott county,
Kentucky, September 13, 1817. He
dnoved to Illinois in 1831 and has been
j& resident of that state ever since.
"When the war broke out Mr. Palmer
raised the 14th Illinois Infantry and
was eventually promoted to a major
jgeneralship and given command of
tan armv corps. In 1868 he was elect-
Governor on the Republican ticket
Uen. .Palmer became dissatisfied with
nhc administration of Gen. Grant and
latterfj allied himself with, the Demo
cratic party. His family consists of
his wife, two sons and four daughters,
the latter being all married. His wife
was Melinda Ann Neely, to whom he
was united in marriage December 20,
1842. Ten years ago Gen. Palmer
-was elected to the United States Sen
ate and four years ago was chosen
a , . ti . : . !..!
r nominee for the presidency.
Various national centers in addic
tion to that of population will be
shown by the census. The center of
wealth, at last account , reckoning a
total of 834.000.OOJ.000, was at Cleve
land, O., and the center of debt was
not far off. at Tiffin, O. The national
center of pauerism and prisoners
held for crime were also in Ohio, at
Cbillichothf- and Columbus, respect
ively. The national manufacturing
center was at Erie, Pa.: that of agri
culture at Ut'uiua, la., and that of
railroads at La Salle, 111. Ohio is
the national center of education, and
the center of illiteracy is at Jackson
Tenn. Until the boundaries of the
United States are changed, the geo
graphical center will remain in North
western Kansas, near Hill city. The
half-way point between the equator
and the North pole is at the hamlet of
North Perry, Me., and the government
has marked the spot by a monument.
A Populist orator at Parson, Kan.
proclaimed the other night "that no
sooner had Hobson sunk the Merrimac
in Manila Bay than this Administra
tion began to scheme to establish an
empire." The gentleman seems to
have been a little mixed touching
Hobson, the Merrimac and Manila
Bay, but then he was no further off
than in accusing the Administration
of scheming to establish an empire,
However, a Populist-Democrat has so
little to stand on that he ought to be
allowed some latitude.
"If there is anyone who believes the
Gold Standard is a good thing, or
that it must be maintained, I warn
him not to cast his vote for me, be
cause I promise him it will not be
maintained in this country longer than
I am able to get rid of if" W. J
Bryan.

HOBSON ON DEWEY'S VICTORY.
Tells How His Interview at Vancouver Was
Distorted,
New York, September 25. Lieut.
i Richmond Pearson Hobson, who ar
: rivr-ii in tuis city last night, having
jcorae from Yokohama by way of Van
couver, was seen at the Plaza Hotel
! this morning. The Lieutenant de
clared that the interview in which he
was quoted as belittling Admiral
Dewey's victory, was distorted. He
said the only reason the Spanish ves
sels went to the bottom was because
Dewej 's war-ships made it so hot for
them that the Spaniars were forced
to open the sea cocks. All the sunk
en vessels, according to Lieut. Hob
son, were well riddled with shells,
and he thinks that Admiral Dewey de
serves all the honors that he has re
ceived. He said that ne had not writ
ten to the AOmiral regarding tne in
terview, liecause he did not think it
warranted serious attention. He says
that he will call on the Admiral at the
first opportunity.
"The whole fabric of that silly yarn
was formed out of the following inci
dent:
"As soon as I arrived at Vancouver
I was approached by a correspondent,
who asked me about the Spanish war
ship which I had been repairing at
Hong Kong. Among other things I
said that the interior of all the sunk
en ships were very much warped: that
the metal work was rusted, and alto
gether the vessels were in a sorry
condition.
1.T.-,T1 . .... .... -
-uia uewey uo an mat?' 1 was
asked. I replied that the seven
months' submersion, and not the Ad
miral, was responsible for what I had
described. I then explained that the
Spaniards had sunk their vessels by
opening the sea cocks. I also ex
plained that it was the shell fire of
Dewey's fleet that made them do this
You have seen the resnlt of the inter
view." The Drag Trad -.

Last week .'100 survivors of the 15th
Massachusetts iDfantry ni-t on the
battlefield of Antietam to dedicate a
renireital monument, a shaft of
granite 12 feet high, surmcocted by a
lion. The regiment went, into lhe
battle with (SOU officers and men, of
whom 77 were killed or died of woucds,
253 were wounded and 14 were missing..
Before the firing began an order was
issued that no one should, fall out of
ranks to carry the wounded tu the
rear. When Lieut. Spurs- was shot
two of his men started to ta! him
back to the surgeons, but he recainded
them of the order and compelled them
to leave him under a tree. Be was
captured by the enemy, and died from
his wound. The lion is a fitting-emblem,
for a monument to American volun
teers.
