ISSUES NOT MEN
The municipal campaign nasi settled down to a
Muestion of issues not men KatUer It Is a question of
oue issue and that Is Do the people of Houston waiit
to supplant a wastuful and disordeily administration
of public nffaiis with an economical arid conscientious
administration of public affairs
There Is no rivalry between Colonel Holt and Mv
Stewart in any porsonal sense Tha leform forces are
not seeking to pay Colonel Holt a political comnllmont
they are availing theniholvns of hs patriotic service
Jn loading tlio stiugglo against prodigality and lock
lossnoFF Neither nro tho elements behind Mr Stewart
inspired by love for him thoy are employing him as a
moro Instrument of their purpose to contiol tho spoils
nnd snaps of office
The Issue is clQiuiy drawn and t can not ho con
fused by appenls to clnss prejudice or to Incidents of
one sort or nnothor Tho machine U on tilal charged
with renoua sins nf omission aui commission and the
jury is composed of tho otors In tho coming primaries
Let tho Jury clvn attontion to the ovldenca and to the
argument nnd Insist that only the teal Issue of tho
case bo submitted
Will Houston permit her Uixpg tp bo wasted and hor
hijgh trust to be abused for two years more That Is
the question
THE INTERNATIONAL UNDERCURRENT
The dispatches as to the Uuiopean pourparlers sup
posed to have been held with regnnl to tho Philippines
are without foundation No European nation no coal
ition of European natlonH Is aliong enough to coerce
tho United States nor me the wily European diplo
matists capable of the folly of offending this country
by a protest that could do no possible good and that
could but result in unpleasant feeling
However bitterly the democrats nnd homo republi
cans are opposed to the policy of tho administration in
the archipelago although many soberminded men re
gard the robbing of patriots of their liberty nnd trade
nnd putting them to death nnd to torture as heltlbh
work and consider that tha government has boon act
inc as it It had formed n league with tho devil and the
powers of darknoss nevertheless the governments
bitterest foes in Us deplorable policy would rally
round the flag at tho slightest meuaeo of foreign at
tack The European nutlons know this and havo not
the slightest Intention of provoking one of the most
powerful nations In the world a nation iltU n formid
able navy a nation of unbounded rosomcos of full
preparedness for war whoso citizens at tho first call
for troops volunteer in numbers such as are unparal
leled elsewhere in any country
Tho Philadelphia Times says that thoro is a secret
supplement to the AngloJapanese troaty and surmises
that a trado may ho offered us for tho Phifippines
Japan is supposed to want them and Great Britain
will take some too and glvo us In exchange Jamaica
and some of the British West Indies This tho Times
guesses is tho subject matter of the International un
dercurrent darkly hinted at In recent foreign dis
patches
If tho Times is correct such an oxclwingo would
prove a happy solution of tno difficulty If thev can
bring it about the republicans will bo able to congrat
ulate themBOlves on being very fortunato in gottlng
out of a very difllcult situation They will have un
raveled tho most tangled web over woven for tho per
plexity of this nation
THE ELECTION IN CUBA
Thft Cuban papers havo boen making satirical com
ments on tho recent ffloctton held In the Island They
claim that it was a farce and that tho eloctlon returns
were manipulated by American officials They claim
that the returns aa made up show that two thirds of
tbo voters registered In tho province of Pinar del IUo
Toted for tho successful candidate for governor of tho
province Jn Havana province fiveeighths iu Mutnn
gas twoflftho in Santa Clara neatly threefourths

The TJuevo Pao and La Lucha of Havana sny that
these figures ara preposterous and that tho officials of

the Cabana to chooso their offlce holders by imlJot

deith typically American Tliore is no inv ironment I
should say anywhere else iti the woild which could produce
Just such a character He w hum into that way of life
which elsewhere is called thetmiddlc clais but which ui this
country is so nearly universal U to make ot other classes au
almost negligible quantity lie w neither rich nor poor
neither proud nor humble lie knew no hunger he was not
sure of satisfying no luxury which could enervate miitd or

thoughtful time 1 he boya f that day felt dimly but deep
ly thai dVyfc of shirp struggle and high achievement were
before them They looked v < lue with the wondennK yet
reholute eyes of a young eaqture 111 his vigil of arms
At J7 years of ige William McKmley heard the sum
mons ot his country He was fie rort ot youth to whom a
military life in oidinary times w mid possess no 4ttrartions
His nature wai far different froi that nf the ordinary sol
diet He had other dreams of life Its prwts and pleasures
thun that of marches and battles But to his mind there was
no choice or question He enlisted as a private he learned
ti obey His serious sensible ways his prompt alert ef
ficiency soon attracted the attcnijOn of his superiors He
was so faithful 111 little things tb r save him niore and more
to do He was untiring in camp and on the raaroli awlft
cuol and fearless m ftghl He left the army with field rank
when the war ended bjevetted by President Lincoln for gal
lantry in battle William McKmley one of that sensible
million of men gladly laid down hit sword and betook him
self lo his books He quukly made up the time lost In sol
diering He attacked his I Uckstone as he would have done
a hostile entrenchment finding the ranqe of a country law
library too narrow Ue Went to the Albany law school where
he worked energetically with brilliant success was admitted
to the bar and settled down to practice a bevetted veteran
of 4 in the quiet town of Canton now and henceforward
forever famous as the secne of Ilia life and his place of
sepulture It came lutuuHy about that in i876the begin
ning of the second century of the republic he began by an
election to congress hi political career Thereaftei for four
teen yeaii this chamber was his home 1 use the word ad
visedly Nowhere in the world was ha so in harmony with
bis environments as here nowhere else did his mind work
with such full consciousness of its power When he came to
the presidency there was not a day when his congressional
service waa not of use to him Probably no other president
has been in such full and cordial communion with congress
if wc may except Lincoln alone McKinley knew the legis
lative body thoroughly its composition its methods its hab
its of thought Ho had the profoundest respect for its au
thority aud an Inflexible beltet in the ultimate rectitude of
Its purposes Our history shows how surely an executive
courts disaster and ruin by aasitmiug an attitude of hostility
or distrust to the legislature and on thr other hand Mr
Kiuley s frank and sincere trust nnd confidence in cougres
were repaid by prompt and loyal support and cooperation
During his entire term of office tills mutual trust and regard
> so essential to the public welfare was never shadowed by
a single cloud
I am hare to give the opinion whjch his friends enter
tamed of President MoRinley of course claiming no im
munity from criticism m whatI shall say I believe then
that the verdict of history will be that he met all grave nue
tiops with perfect valor and incomparable ability that in
grappling with them he rose tctiic full hpigljt of a great oc
casion in a manner whioh refunded tp tho lasting benefit
Of the oountry and to ma qwn immortal honpi In dealing
icjth foreign powers he will take rank with the greatest of
cw diplomatists It was a world of which he had little special
knowledge before convng to the presidency But his mar
velous adaptability was 111 nothing raoie remarkable than in
the firm grasp he immediately displayed in intern iticnfil re
lations In pieparlng for war and in the resWnti > n of peace
he was alike adroit nmtous and farsighted When a sud
den emergency drcared iteh as m China in a state of
things of which our history furnUbed no precedent and in
ternational law no safe and certain precept he hesitated not
a moment to Uke the course marked out for him by consid
erations of humanity and the National interests Even white
tin ligations were fighting for thejf Uvea against bands of in
furiated fanatics he decided that we were at peace with
Ciina and while that conclusion did not hinder him from
taking the most eifbrgetie measures to rescue pur imperiled
citiscns it enabled him to maintain close and friendly rela
nona with the wiho and heroic viceroys of the south whose
resolute stand saved that sneiout cnipitV from anarcliy and

And those wee feet
Those trotters sweet

Walk softly all
