The Taku forts are now Takn.
Outside the pulpits of the
world, the era of universal
peace seems a long ways off.
If Tom Keed congratulated
Mr. McKinley, the letter or
telegram containing it was
suppressed.
Republican speakers will be
careful not to say anything
about "Teddy" being a man oi'
his word.
Since "Jiilly" Mason got back
into the McKinley coop he has
been devoting himself ex
clusively to a.thinking part.
The republican bosses are
already finding out the "buck
ing" qualities of "Teddy," and
the campaign hasn't got fairly
started.
Our Caesar doth begin to
take to imperial ways of living.
The newly-fitted McKinley
residence,at Canton, has a gold
trimmed bath tub.
The steady growth of Bryan
sentiment may be judged when
a paper like the Philadelphia
Ledger says the election of
Bryan is not an impossibility.
Boss Hanna and Mr. Mc
Kinley are excusable for laugh
ing over the controversy of the
little fish about the authorship
of this or that plank of the re
publican platform.
"Teddy" will doubtless pro
vide himself with a good sub
stantial backbone, not made of
chocolate eclair, for the use of
his running mate on trying
occasions.
When .peace is concluded in
'China, it is to be hoped that it
will contain a clause providing
foi* the repeal of the "no
check-ee, no washee" require
ment.
There are plenty of proofs
that the Philippine war is
really over. For instance, a
fresh batch of troops were sent
to General McArthur on the
transport Thomas last Sunday.
Hon. David B. Hill of N. Y.,
possesses attributes which
would make him a very strong
candidate for vice preisdent in
the localities where strength
will be needed.
That investigation of Cuban
finances,by a senate committee,
isn't breaking any records for
speed. The republicans do not
wish it to be completed until
after the election.
The British commanders
complained bitterly of the
plague of women at Capetown
'Pretty soon the allied forces
.are likely to complain more or
less earnestly of the plague of
-missionaries in China.
Cable dispatches tell us that
a German-American has at
tempted to rob Oora Paul's
capitol of some of its hard
earned gold. They don't say
whether he was a plain thief
or a British patriot.
Mr. McKinley's removal of
the Capital of the U. S. to Can
ton, Ohio, may be inconvenient
for others, but will doubtless
be a good thing for Canton,
where Mr. McKinley has prop
erty and business interests.
TimeB believes
the«
gang of conscienceless money
chancers back of the Mckinley
administration, vh6 would
plunder "our new possessions"
in the tnanipulation of latter's
public franchises and offices,
in the guise of Godliness and
patriotism and this is one of
the reasons why we believe
the American people ought to
vote, to, in due time, give Cuban
and the Philippine peoples
their freedom.
The Republican platform's
handling of the Philippine
question and the ship-subsidy
job shows that the bosses of
that boss-ridden party are
afraid to show their hands up
on either.
If the Sultan of Turkey
doesn't pay those missionary
claims before the campaign is
over, the administration will
be likely to make a naval dem
onstration against Turkey as a
method of vote-getting.
Senator Hoar says it would
take an earthquake to induce
McKinley to call an extra
session just before the election.
Hoar may be old and wander
ing, but he can recognize a fact
when he sees one, all the same.
If "the man who built the
Oregon" and other government
contractors, are to have booms
for vice president, what's the
matter with the man who built
the President—Mark Hanna,so
please you, gentlemen! Step
up, Mark! Don'i be bashful.
Congressman Amos Cum
mings of New York, said the
other day: "I am going to
Kansas City to see Bryan nom
inated, and I am going to see
him elected just as sure as I
live to see election day." Amos,
old boy, you have a level head.
If the southern states are to
be disfranchised because their
voting strength does not come
up to the quota for their pre
sent congressmen, why should
small states like Nevada,Rhode
Island,and others be permitted
to retain altogether dispropor
tionate representation both in
the House and the Senate?
Think of this!
It is a thousand pities from a
newspaper point of view, that
the Boer war, the Chinese
imbroglio, the St. Louis strike
and the Philadelphia conven
tion should all coincide in
point of time. Had things been
arranged a little more judici
ously, they might have been
made to furnish news for the
entire summer.
A North Carolina negro
preacher has seen a great light.
He declared that the negro was
not fit to vote and that the best
thing to do was to take the
ballot from him. This was at
Asheville, and it required the
police to protect the preacher
from the violence of a negro
mob. He isn't the first man to
get into danger by telling the
truth.
How the first republican
platform, that of 1856, contrasts
with its manifesto in 1900. The
one denounced "those twin
relics of barbarism—slavery
and polygamy." The other
commends the acquisition of
the Philippines and the treaty
with the Sultan of Sulu which
guarantees the continuance of
both "relics," and pays the
salary of the harem keeper of
the Sultan.
We note considerable talk in
some quarters about America
being the only power that can
save China, etc. This is prob
ably intended to prepare the
public mind for action on the
part of the administration. It
may be just as well to remark
at this stage of the game that
the safety of Chiua isn't worth
enough to the American people
to justify a war with any great
power.
1UIBS
The president seems to have
gone to war with China, as he
did with the Philippines,solely!
by his own sweet will, without
asking the consent of congress.
in whose hands- alone the war
making power is lodged by the
constitution. The question of'
the right and justice of the
war is not material. The pre-1
sident has no legal power to
declare it and should call con
gress in session at once to con
sider the matter. But he will
not do it.
Why should the United
States take sides with England
against Russia in the Orient?
Russia was our friend when
England was our enemy. Rus
sia was the first country to
accept Secretary's Hay's open
door proposition and guarantee
our citizens equal rights with
her own. Why should we fly
to the rescue of England, en
gaged as she is in the same old
work she attempted over here
a century and a quarter ago,
and protect her Asiatic in
terests for her?
The critical point in the next
election is New York, which is
absolutely necessary to both
parties. But Roosevelt as
nominee for governor would
stand a better chance of carry
ing that state, than as nominee
for vice paesident, with a gov
ernor selected by Piatt and
sworn not to enforce the
franchise taxation law. This
is the real milk in the cocoar
nut. Piatt wants the franchise
tax law killed, and has to get
Roosevelt out of the way to do
it.
There is a very good reason
why the vice president is now
a-days seldom nominated to
succeed the president. It is
because, since the war, there
has been but one vice president
whom the democrats could
nominate, while the republi
cans have always chosen men
of no importance—mere money
bags for the most part—to take
the lower post. None of them
measured up to the office. A
really good man can still show
that the vice presidency is not
strictly ornamental.
Arctic Funmakersr
There is at least one new
thing under the sun which
shines upon the sea of circus
tents, and that is Captain
Woodward's really famous and
only school of trained Ataska
Sea Lions and Seals, which
this season form one of the ex
clusive and unique features
among the thousand and one
attractions of the Consolidated
Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers' menageries,
circuses and Hippodromes, to
pitch their canvases in Wab
peton, on Tuesday, July 13th.
When the exceedingly wild and
timid nature of these strange
Arctic amphibiai is considered,
coupled with the fact that tfeey
are provided with flippers oaly
to supply the place of haads
and feet, their performances
are absolutely marvelons and
trench closely upon the in
credible. That soch necessarily
clumsy creatures on land have
been successfully clumsy crea
tures on land have been suc
cessfully taught to drill, pitch,
catch, play upon different
musical instru merits, sing: and
imitate many other human acts
and arts almost surpasses- be
lief, but that th$y do so i» at
attested by the- press of New
York, in which, city they con
tinuously drew big and d'ejijght
ed crowds.
