TUJJ8DAY, DJ5CEMHEB 10 WORSE JIMN CLEVELAND'S PLAN. The pnulo In tUo New York branch of tho McKlnley Administration, coming as it did at tho very moment tbo Republican monoy bill was pass ing in tlie Houso, surely Is tlio irony of events. That measure, considered in nil its bearings, and pushed to its re mote consequences, is by odds tbo most important and far reaching of npy n all our history. It was, nevertheless, driven through with tho most despotic and Indecent liaeto. The interests of the people, of tliose who uro to work and earn all that tho fow beneficiaries pf this bjll are to gain by it, woro not at all considered, Loss than five days of debate wcro allowed, Not an amendment wob permitted to be offered. Hy it the resources of the nation wero short ened by a half billion. To that ox tent the Implements of Industry wero destroyed. Just that much of tho ccouomlo life-blood of tho people was drawn from arteries already do plec(J from n lonj; ootirso of drnstlo financial quackery. The wuge-eornlng public, thus ho t rayed by their representatives, arp by this net oompelled to toil on and eyen to pay tho Intoreet and princi pal of bonds which our government is pow bound by law to Issuo and sell whenever the hanking trust sees fit to send nut Its paper promises to pay as security for those promises. The trust renps the profit of tho transaction; tho peoplo furnish tho security and nt tho same time pay Inlcrost upon It. As Kdnuind llurko once said of a lllco robbery, It Is "In. irjultously legal," In 1893, when (Irovor Cleveland was selling n small lot of bonds, ho told Congress that ho could got sixteen millions mora for thorn If ho could be permitted to Insert tho ouo word "gold" in them. Congress ro fused the permission and they wero sold for the smnllor figure, although no one was then nfrnld to buy thorn, or has slnco been afraid to hold them, because tho mnglo word was left out. Ily tho hill passed j cuter day that word Is Inserted, as n oluar honusl as an nbsoluto gift to tho holders, not only ns to tho fow bonds sold by Clevolniul, but also ns In the enormous amounts Issued before his time. That which Congress never would do for the peoplo, Is iluno at a stroke for a few of the pooplo. Thus the burden of our national debt Is In a moment doubled and tho time of Its payment put oil former. This moasuro makos a permanent national doht necessary. Wo shall see Iow long the public will tolorato such faithless repre sentatives. The passage of this bill was all that was needed to bring to pass tho long-promised reign of "conildonco," Well, what kind of "oonlldeuoo" was t tbt Wall Htroot felt while the rol was being called In the Home? It was the kind of confi dence the lamb, experiences as he Is going down the wolf's gullot, It the kind, of cnnlldonce a man feels aft.e the roller has gone over him and. he ogrnes. up behind.

As a sample of tho Impartiality of Congress in passing this monoy bill, nn Ohio member asked If it would be In order to oltor an amendment pio vldlng that whenever nn IndUIdunl or corporation other than a national hink should deposit government bund In tho treasury, ho or It might also issue curroncy up to tho par vnluoof tho bonds so deposited, Just ns tho national hanks are by tho act authorized to do, And tho Hpenkor nnsworwt that under tho rules adopted by the Houso tho amend ment proposed would not ho In ordor.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 19 MEDINA COUNTY "CZAR-CASM," OR, "THE GARFIELDS IN POLITICS.' "It Is no secret that James It. Gar field, of Mentor, will be n candidate for congress In this district, next year. Hon. F. O. Phillips has an nounced his candidacy for renomlna tlou und fullv exnects the cuitoinnrv second term and feels it to be his duo. To nrovo that the Oardnlds are In politics, living Oarfleld got himself elected tntlin Jlostnn. MngH.. school board, lost Monday." Tlio above, taken from the editorial column of last week's Medina Ga zetto,60UDdn big and brave,but all the same that popor will sing a far smal ler note when convention time comes round next summer. And it will do this becauso Mark Hanna will coin- pel it tp; it's talk in the adjoining column about "traitors in the Re publican party," and naming Gov. Hushnell as one of tho "traitors" is ovidenco enough on this point of Hb continued and abject servility to tho boss. The reason the Gazette editor thinks Gov. Hushnell Is a "traitor" is that tho latter would not be tho mere lickspittle of corrupt poli ticians, nor surrender the dignity of his oil! co nt the howls of as disreput able n mob as over was gotton to gether to Insult and defy public opin ion. On the question of tho Phillips succession we do not scruplo toproph ccy clear through to tho end. As a political proposition Phillips Is nn untoward accident. No ono wanted him for his presont position; no ono expocted him to bo nominated for It. And when the nomination, by stress of circumstances, camo around to Medina county, the manouvor of Its delegation, commlttod with protestntlons of llp-servlco to Phil lips, but; Inwardly despising him and his candidacy, wero, like tho gam bols of the hippopotamus, inoro intofitlng than irrnoeful. If his capturing tho plum hod been accounted among tho remotest of contingencies, the Medina woods would havo boon full of competitors. As It was, tho dolo gatos wore seasick all tho way home, to think that theonochnncaof allfo tlmo had gono to such a fronk. Ever slnco the nomination divers of the political patriots of the county havo been casting sheep eyett towards the no it nomination, and now to have an outsider who was beaten by stioh a man aB Phillips como in and inter fere with "home Industry" strikes thorn on the raw. Honce tho mild Insinuation of tho Gazette editorial that "the GarfloldB are In politics;" this slant, coining from so hungry a county, Is what a facotlous frlond of ours would call cznr-oasm. lliit to our prediction: You nro right, nolghbor, about the Garflolds bolng'-ln politics," And t hoy will havo no sort of trouble tn displacing tho Medina glralfo, olther. To a man who can boo through n ladder, that a treaty has already been struck to that ond Is npparont enough. Mark Hanna has slated Roynolds for tho speakership of the Ohio House. This kills off tho Lnko county opposition to James It,, and Modlim county may whistlo about tho "customary second term." What show has Phillips against n corpora tion lawyer, and tho son of his fnthor to boot? Resides, Garfield did yoo man service for Mark when he need ed help at Columbus two years ago, mid Just ns likely ns not hns told him so ti his fnco before now, Ite furu the year is month older "tho customary second term" tout ors will ollmh down olT their poicti and begin to shout that each one was latord: Congress by Its monoy bill says so; hut our "certificates," our Boston Bhlnplastors nto all right. Cdmiui.ss.man Dick- has been appointed a member of tho Congres sional Military and Militia Commit tees, placing hlin In a good position to help promote tho Intorests of tho National Guard. Reprosoutatlvo Rromwcll, of Cincinnati, wanted tho appointment ery badly, but ho was Bldetraokcd without ccromouy to make room for tho Major Gouornl. As a sort of sop to Rromwoll, ho was appointed a member of tho Civil Service Reform commlttoo a com mittee for which tho present Con gress wilt havo abuut ns muuh use as tbo averago ward politician has for the Initiative und Referendum. Tiik Ilnltlmere llrm which did nn Immense business in the manu facture nnd sale of St. Jacob's OH a few years ago, has Just bocn forood to the woll. Ten years ago St. Jacob'ti Oil was one of tho most extensively advertised medloluos on the market, and was in Immense demand, but somehow its name was the only original Garflold man, and tho Gazette will lend tho procession, Whon the elder Garfield was run nlng for President about half tho politicians in that nock of tho wouds claimed that they holpcd him drive mules on tho Ohio canal. Next year they will get up on their hind legs and bray that they were the mules themselves, and the Gazotto will bo "Tlio laureate of tho long-fared cro ." For, bo it romombered that several notable things are to be said about James R. Garfield, to-wlt: First, that James A. Garfield was a great man. Noxt, that be James B., being newly out of Williams college and of courso a froe-trader, nnd hence so dear to the hearts of tho shoop-ralserB of Medina county, nnd being also ono of tho wo-are-tho-snlt-of-tbo-oarth sort of follows, is also tho putative author and finisher of the go-cnllod "Gnrflold law," flfa tho "corrupt practices net," but which ought to bo entitled an act for tbo compulsory attendance of Ohio ofllco-seekers nt tho school of por- Jury, and for the promotion of hy pocrisy. And finally, In advanco of Mark Hanna'a Senatorial shambles at Columbus, lest some one should try to seduce so incorruptible a man, ho caused it to be made known that if be thought tho Sonator would wander In any crooked paths ho Garfield, would not follow him; nnd then iio turned up after having voted for Mark, as ono of tho com mittee appointed to Investigate the methods used to compass his olec tion. In thin rolnllon his woll-known ef forts to aid in turning on tho light, and In oxposlng and denouncing po litical crookedness, aro mattors of history; thoy were such as bocamo tho nrchltoet of tho "corrupt prac tices" aot. It is indeed true that ho uniformly sustained tho witnesses in refusing to answer questions; but then ho explains this, vory lucidly, In tho minority roport whioh ho filed, by saying that tho refusal was basod "upon two grounds: Either the laok of Jurisdiction of this committee, or by rcitbou of the fact thot thoy nuttamed confidential re lation! to fi? piiWj'g," whatever this last may mean, Now, Uali.thlS'' does not entitle a man to a seat in Congress, even though to get lt)io has to jostle a man out of his J'oustomnry socond torm," what in tho namoof rhymoor reason would? Even Phillips, beforo nextyonr's convention, will fall on tho proper side of tlio fenco and cackle "nothing," Tlio fact Is "tima is monoy" with "tlioGarJtoldSj"aatlie Giuotto pro fanely calls thorn. Tho innohlno was till lived to havo opo of thorn break Into Congross last year the appren ticeship of tho Mnrk Hanna Investi gating committee having fitted him for tho wider flem Hut tho Phillips accident prevented. And something must bo done for him beforo his county is thrown back into tho Nineteenth Distriot, where ho would hnvo to come In collision with Gon.
