If sent to the Legislature, Candi
date Seese will not vote to roturn
Foraker to the Senate stick a pin in
that, as the nominal editor would say.
Fob the first time since they en
tered public life, Senators Alexander
and Sanford seem to think ard feel
alike. Col. Sanford feels and talks
just like Senator Alexander has felt
and talked since the Painesville
convention.
The Republican convention of
Pennsylvania Thursday approved
the appointment of Boss Quay to the
Senate, and advocated the mainten
ance of the single gold standard.
Instead of condemning the trusts, it
endorsed them. The convention
knew that the Republican Adminis
tration has been and is hand in glove
with the trusts, so as a loyal mem
ber of the Republican family it did
not want to embarrass the Adminis
tration by denouncing its patrons.
Pennsylvania is in the control of a
boss, but there is no hypocrisy about
his platform declarations.
Fob the past two months the army
has cost the American people more
than $31,000,000. The appropriation
of $80,000,000 made by the last Con
gress will not last until December.
Congress estimated that the army
ought not to cost more .than $6,500,000
a month, but the expenditures have
exceeded $15,000,000 mouthly. The
next Congress will increase the war
taxes enormously to overcome the
deficit and to stave oft" a bond issue
until after the 1900 election. Accord
ing to authoritative estimates the
business of subjugating and govern
ing the Filipinos will cost the people
of this nation in the neigborhood of
$300,000,000 a year. "War is a game
which, were their subjects wise,
kings should not play at."
have been held have declared in
favor of the Chicago platform. Di
rect Legislation, the government
ownership of national monopolies,
and the election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the peo
ple. All of them have denounced
imperialism.
The Summit county convention
should take a progressive stand upon
national questions tomorrow. In
addition to this it should denounce
the hypocrisy of local Republican
office-holders who, at their conven
tion last year, pretended to be in
favor of a resolution reducing the
fees and salaries of county officers,
yet who sent lobbyists to Columbus
to defeat the passage of a bill carry
ing that resolution into effect.
The convention should also con
demn the notorious interference of a
Republican Probate Judge in the
affairs of the city, through his
proxies on the Board of City Com
missioners. It should afford the
voters a chance to give such resolu
tions force and effect by nominating
a man for Probate Judge who, taking
the advice of Senator Alexander,
will allow Akron's Commissioners to
be their own masters.
Then give an enthusiastic endorse
ment to the candidacy of Judge C.
R. Grant for Supreme Judge, give
him the support of a capable dele
gation, nominate good men for the
various county offices, and tlio work
of the convention will have been
well done.

Gen. Otis' act excluding Chinese
from the Philippines has threatened
to bring about international compli
cations, so the State department has
tens to explain that the act of exclu
sion came about through the adoption
of military regulations and not by
the detailed enforcement of United
States laws applying to Chinese ex
clusion. American consistency
seemed to be put to a pretty severe
strain when the Administration sent
a messenger to carry backsheesh to
the Sultan of the Sulu islands, with
the promise that his institutions of
polygamy and slavery should not be
interfered with, as an inducement to
mm to recognize American sover
eignty in the Philippines. But what
shall now be said of the practical ab
rogation of the Chinese exclusion act
by the Administration, in order to
escape the peril of international com
plications due to its enforcement?
And with Chinese labor tolerated in
the Philippines, what becomes of the
boast that the conquest of those
islands will afford unlimited oppor
tunities for the employment of
American labor?
An announcement, purporting to
have the sanction of President Mc
Kinley, has just been made to the
effect that in the near future" the
obnoxious rules established by Pen
sion Commissioner H. Clay Evans,
preventing many old soldiers from
obtaining pensions, will be "mate
rially modified." The qualifying
clause, "in the near future," is too
indefinite to prove very satisfactory
to the old soldiers. It means that if
they will stand by the president for a
second term, they have the promise
of better treatment for the future.
This is the same bait that is being
held up to the currency reformers
who voted for the President in the
expectation that something would be
done in their interests. The abso
lute failure of the Administration to
act during the first four years of its
lease of power has caused thousands
of Gold Democrats to return to the
Democratic party. What the old
soldiers need is not the promise of
action "in the near future," but Im
mediate and decisive action for the
present. All too many of thpm may
not live to see the near future as that
term is defined by the Administra
tion. But "tomorrow, and tomorrow,
and tomorrow" seems to be the favor
ite policy with the powers that he at
"Washington.

Detectives Started on a Wild Goose
Chase Not Abducted.
For boveral days, a Cincinnati de
tective has been searching this city
for the purpose of locating the al
leged kidnaper of Goldie Lake, a
four-year-old gill, whose father re
sides in Covington, Ky.
Thursday night the officer was
notified to return to Cincinnati. The
child was located and a sensation
ended. The Enquirer says:
The alleged abduction case of in
fant Goldie Lake, who was missing
from the home of her father on But
ler St., turns out to bo only a family
affair, in which the child's grand
mother, Mrs. Rasmus, of Covington,
who had raised the child, according
to her statement, found the little
one playing in the streets near her
father's home, and, thinking that
the child's home was with her, took
charge of It in a motherly way. Mrs.
Rasmus is the mother of Charles
Lake-, tho father of the child.
Mrs. Maggie Rasmus, with the
child, called upon Attorney G. F.
Boughner at his office in Covington
and before him entered a positive
denial to any charge of abduction.
Mrs. Rasmus claimed to havo all
legal rights to the infant. She was
armed with a letter of Introduction
from Attornoys Blackburn, Rhyno
and Friend of Cincinnati, who
vouched for her. Attorney Bough
ner immediately notified Chief of
Police Pugh.
Lake had notified the Cincinnati
police of tho child's disappearance
and a corps of detectives had been
running down different clews until
Attorney Blackburn informed Super
intendent Deitsch that the person In
possession of the child was his client,
and that the child was in proper
hands, and would bo produced when
ever Superintendent Deitsch regards
the case as a civil one, to be settled
in court, and abandoned it to higher
tribunals.

LABOR DAY
Proclamation Issued.
Mayor Says Akron's Much
Indebted to Labor.
Is Well Termed "A Hive
of Workers.
jj
An Absence of Caste Founded
on Wealth. i.
One Day Set
Apart to
Toilers.
Ennoble the
Mayor W. E. Young has issued his
annual Labor Day proclamation. It
follows :
"To the Citizens of Akron:
"No other city in'the United States
is more largely indebted to labor
for its progress and prosperity than
is our own City of Akron. It might
will well be termed "A Hive of
Workers."
"There is today scarcely a single
individual standing at the head of
anv of our srreat manufacturing in
dustries who was not at one time a
laborer in the sense in which that
term is generally used ; that is, one
who works with his hands as dis
tinguished from one who performs
mental or brain work. This fact ac
counts more than any other for the
absence In our midst of caste and
distinctions founded upon wealth or
birth.
"Ours is one of the most Demo
cratic communities in the land. La
bor Is appreciated at its true worth.
"In such a community it is vory
meet and proper that the one holi
day, set apart especially for the pur
pose of dignifying and ennobling the
toilers of our land, should be fitting
ly observed.
"As the Mayor of our city, I hereby
kindly request all of our work shops
andfactories, stores and places of busi
ness to close their doors on the 4th
day of September, in the year of our
Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred
and Ninety-Nine, and to join in the
due celebration of Labor Day."
'I would also request all of our
citizens to display from their resi
dences and places of business, upon
that day, the American flag, the
glorious emblem of an united, peace
ful, prosperous and progressive na
tion.
"W. E. Young,
"Mayor of the City of Akron."
