FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1895.
THK tidal wave of McKinley ism is sweeping the whole country.
IT is the people against the bosses and that is what is causing the trouble just now.. McKinley represents the people.
S. E. NICHOLSON, the author of the Nicholson law, has been renominated for Representative by the Republicans of Howard county. He had a hard fight for his white alley and led his competitor by only forty votes.
CHICAGO Inter Ocean: The sooner Republicans begin to remember that after the nomination comes an election the better it will be for the Republican party. Honest, open, fair, square work should be the order all along the line.
LAFAYETTE Call: Ths college student has again triumphantly demonstrated what a fool he can make of himself on the slightest opportunity. That the leaders in the fisticuff at the oratorical contest at Indianapolis should be the lepresentatives of the staid, non-resist-ant Quakor college, is indeed a joke.
THB Chicago •Inter-Ocean gives as a reason for McKinley's popularity iB that bis name is directly identified with the great and leading Republican principle of protection to American industries. There can be no doubt of that. Candidates who attempt to make protection take a second place will be disappointed.
IN order to amend the constitution of the United States a joint resolution Betting for the amendment must pass both houses of Congress by a twothirds majority, and then ratified by three-fouthB of Legislatures. It is a long and tedious process, but the people are ripe for the change. Twothirds of the house can be easily obtained, but the Senate, there's the rub.
SIXCF the calamity of this Democratic Administration has fallen upon us there have been issued 8263,000,000 of bonds. Of these bondB 8100,000,000 bear interest at the rate of five per cent and run ten years $162,000,000 run thirty years, and bear interest at the rate of four cent. The annual interest charge on this debt is between 811,000,000 and 812,000,000. Democracy has been a costly luxury.
TUESDAY was the last day for taking a final ballot for United States Senator by the Kentucky Legislature. The joint session adjourned without an election. Kentucy, therefore, will have but one United States Senator for two years, at least from the 4th of next March at which time Senator Blackburn's time will expire. As nobody is better than Blackburn. Republicans at least should be satisfied.
THE Cincinnati Enquirer said the other day that while it differed from McKinley on every fundamental party principle, it did not hesitate to say that if nominated and elected the White House will be occupied by a gentleman for the four years beginning March 4, 1897. What a pity it is that some of the little 8x10 Democratic papers, whose editors even never saw McKinley, could not be as generouB and as truthful a6 the Enquirer.
THE Senate bill to donate public lands in Alabama to the Girls' Industrial School of the State and
lto
the
TuBkogee Institute, of which Booker T. Washington i6 the president, has received favorable action at the hands of the House Committee on Public Lands. An amendment was added providing that the land given to the two institutions shall be of equal value, the committee, it is said, fearing that the white school might get the coal lands and the colored^ school the jswamp lands in the division.
THE Methodist church in the United States claims approximately 4,600,000 communicants. This of course includes all branches of Methodists, but the Methodist Episcopal church proper has in round numbers 2,250,000 members, whose church property is estimated to be worth a little above 896,000,000. There are over 16,000 M. E. ministers in the United States, 26,000 church organizations, which have under their control 23,000 church edifices, whose seating capacity is put down at 6,500,000 persons. In addition to the*e churches there are 2,900 halls with a seating capacity of 280,000 persons.
blBNERAL WALLACE'S POSITION. Gen. Lew Wallace 'called at the JOURNAL this morning to say, and to have it publicly Baid, that the dispatch^to the Indianapolis Sentinel Tuesdiy from this city connecting his name with the contest over the delegate from this District to St. Louis is pure fiction. He says that he has had nothing to do with, the local fight either directly or indirectly.- -He desired furthermore to have it understood that he belongs to no Harrison machine. Until General Harrison took himself out of the list of candidates for the Presidency he in common with every other Hoosier Republican favored his nomination.. With the utmost faith in General Harrison's sincerity he accepted his letter declining permission the use of his name at St. Louis. To construe the letter in any other way than that General Harrison is absolutely out of the race and is neither an active nor a receptive candidate is by implication a charge of duplicity which no true friend would make against this distinguished man. Entertaining these views of General Harrison's honesty he at once declared himself in favor of the nomination of Ex-Governor McKinley, and to-day he stands by his sentiments expressed in his dispatch which he sent to the Chicago Marquette Club. General Wallace is a candidate for one of the Dele-gates-at-Large from Indiana to St. Louis, and if chosen he wants it distinctly understood that his influence and his vote will be given to Major McKinley. In this position he says he will not only represent himself but he believes he will voice the sentiments of nine-tenths of the Republicans of Indiana.
THE Philadelphia Press has presented the following summary of the condition to which the woolen industry has been reduced in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine: Total mills affected Mills shut down Mills on quarter time 4 Mills on eighth time Mills on half time Mills practically closed Operatives practically idle Estimated annual wages of these operators one year ago $3,000,000 Estimated annual wages of operators to-day 875,000 Loss to the country in wages 2,625,000 Loss to the country in native raw material, say 6,000,000
!2 14 10 5
1 2
7,500
What is true of these four States is true of the entire country. The loss to this country in raw material and wageB has been gained by foreign countries. Reducing American workingmen to idleness has given employment to English workingmen. Shutting down millB in America has started mills to going in Bradford. And all for the purpose of saving a dollar on a suit of clothing. Such a policy is nothing but MBSummate nonsense.
WHEN Eli Perkins aBked Senator Cullom, of Illinois, if he had really said anything criticising McKinley's brain power, the Senator gave a contemptuous loek and said: 'Pshaw, no! I admire and respcct McKinley too much for that. The Democratic boys made that up. But," continued the Senator, "I should like to say one thing about Gov. McKinley. I should like to Bay that, in my opinion, if you should take the smallest hair on McKinley's head, punch the pith out of it with the little end of nothing, and then ram into it all the brains of Grover Cleveland and his entire cabinet, and the brains of all the Democratic candidates in sight, and then shake that hair, it would rattle. That is my simple opinion."
The Senator seems to be trying to make atonement for the letter he recently wrote in which he spoke in most derisive terms of McKinley'B ability. He perhaps sees by this time in which direction the cat intends to jump
THE services at First PreBbyterian church Sunday evening were quite impressive. It was exemplified in terms more eloquent than anything that was said the need of a mission chapel in the southeastern part of the city. The people there are poor and are possessed with the pride that is common to the race. They will not enter our more fashionable churches, for the reason that their raiment does not compare with their more fortunate neighbors. They are not only almost destitute of this world's goods, but they are starv ing for the Bread of Life. A mission church building should supplant the quart shop. It will be the gateway which will lead the poor people to progress, prosperity, honor and a better life. The Christian people of every sect Bhould at once give their as' sistance to the First church people in their laudable endeavor to establish a flourishing mission in this fruitful field.
SENATOR MITCHELL, Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, has been authorized by a majority of the committee to report his joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for the election of United States
Senators by a direct vote of the people. Such scenes as -are daily occurring in Kentucky's capital are strong arguments in favor of such a change. What is taking place in Kentucky is experienced by every State in the Union, especially if the votes in the Legislatures are nearly equal. The pian has, at least, the advantage of disposing of the question in short order, and gives to the Legislatures all of their limited time to attend to their legitimate business. The people are ripe for a change.
MB. MOUNT'S CANDIDACY. Lafayette Courier: Hon. James A. Mount, who is delivering a series of lectures on agricultural subjects at Purdue University, has good reason to feel gratified in consequence of the generous support he is receiving as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. Several counties have instructed for him and it is evident that he will be among the leaders at the State convention. Mr. Mount is certainly entited to the good opinion of his fellow citizens and the Courier would find it altogether agreeable to support his candidacy in tbe event his name is«placed at the head of the State ticket this year. He is sound in political and economic principles and the moral side of his nature is so well developed that it may indeed be said to be exceptional, among men prominent in public affairs.
THE New York Tribune, discussing the attempt of President Cleveland and certain Eastern bankers to break down and destroy the legal tender currency on the pretense that it is unsafe, says:
The straight fact iB that the people will not have the change. What their temper may be in the distant future is anther question. For the present it is plain as anything can be that an attempt to curtail or retire the greenback circulation will be overwhelmingly defeated by the people, no matter how high the reputation of those making it. There is no desire, whatever, with the millions of voters to get rid of a currency which costs the Nation nothing, and to incur a yearly interest charge of 811,000,000 or 812,000,000 for that purpose, in order to give National banns larger circulation and lai-ger profits. A few thousand conspicuous persons, who have had the ear of a few newspapers, may favor such a change. The millions are against it and will beat it.
HON. CHARLES A. DANA delivered an interesting lecture at New Haven recently on "Lincoln and His Cabinet," in which he spoke of the several members of that body as men of superior qualifications for their respective positions, who were not always satisfied with Mr. Lincoln's decisions, "but he was always master of the house," because he was "the greatest man of modern American history, perhaps of all mankind.",

He believes that he is earning $1,000 a month, and is lavish in his expenditures of this income.

REV. BROWN ACQUITTED.
He Is Censured, but His Friends Say It Is a Complete Vindication.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 18. Dr. Brown is acquitted of the charges of adultery and unministerial conduct. The council excused his actions. The charges had been made public on account of his quick temper. With regard to the young lady who. it is alleged, he threatened, the council says: "We find his conduct to have violated all rules which should control the actions of a clergyman and a Christian minister and we censure him for it, while we gladly recognize the kindly and manly words of appreciation and reparation offered by nim' to the younjj ltTdy in our presence."
The council says Dr. Brown's explanation of the payment of money to Mrs. Davidson is unsatisfactory, but there is not a trace of suspicion in the minds of the council concerning the hitherto stainless refutation of Dr. Brown. Brown and nis friends consider the verdict a complete vindication.
