FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1895.
FOB PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM McKINLEY, Of the United States.
SENATOII Cullom's defeat in his own Congressional district makes a sad mess of his resemblance to Lincoln.
REED is known to the country as a good counter, but McKinley is beating him in the enumeration of delegates.
FOURTEEN new variable stars have been discovered at the Harvard Observatory, and the Democrats will see all of them in November.
THE failure of so many school teachers to pass the examination for license speaks badly for the teachers or well for the stringency of the superintendent.
THE bicycle manufacturers are expecting to sell about 800,000 of these vehicular contrivances this year, the aggregate cost of which to the purchasers will be not less than $50,000,000.
THE JOURNAL publishes to-day the "brief of an interview with Thomas Edison, the Shakespeare of science. Dr. Edison's work is the harbinger of a new regime in surgery and medicine.
THE Washington Capital says it can tell Mr. Matthews that the Democrats are not likely to nominate anybody for President by the name of Claude. Indeed, if there is anything in a name, that would seem to be an effective bar.
SENATOR THURSTON explains the situation aptly when he describes it as follows: "McKinley is sliding swiftly toward the nomination on a toboggan. A lot of people, who are getting left, are engaged just now in throwing snow balls at him. They are simply helping him along.",
THE "favorite son" business is not working very satisfactorily. On the .very day before a machine instruction for Morton by the New York State convention there was an immense McKin:ley outpouring in New York City, which shook the State with its vociferous cheers for McKinley.
THE fact that Senator Davis, Of Minnesota, is sure of only two of the eighteen delegates from his own State furnishes him with the opportunity tp announce that in view of the anxiety of his constituents to keep him in the Senate, he does not care to be any longer regarded as a candidate for President.
THE man who goes six miles to market, over a bad road, with a half load of corn, pays a fearful amount of toll. On a first class road he could haul two loads a day instead ot one and then he could haul full loads instead of half loads. In other words, he would haul four times as much corn in a day on a good road as he could haul on the bad one. A good road would thus save him the price of three days' hauling out of four. So you see it costs a great deal more to keep a road in bad order than it does to keep it in good order.
,THE first enumeration under the new law of persons of school age in the State will be taken between April 10 and 30. The law exacts things that were not formerly required. The object of the new law is to prevent "padding." For years evidences of fraudulent returns have been numerous af the office of the Superinteddent of Public Instruction. On account of the limited time for taking the enumeration it will be necessary in this city and in other large cities in the State, for the enumerator to engage a large force to do the work.
WHY OPPOSE M'KXNXEYf The almost universal sentiment of the country is for McKinley and if let a^one it would be quick to so express itself. If the few who are attempting to turn back the McKinley tide would look into their own hearts for the motives that prompt them, they would more than likely find themselves working not the public good but to accomplish some selfish end of their own in which the country at large has no interest. If there is any public reason why McKinley should not be nominated, why do not the "bosses" let the country know what it is? It must be realized by every one now that not to nominate McKinley would so dampen the ardor and chill the enthusiasm of

the Republican party as to endanger the success of our cause. So overwhelming is the public sentiment for him that the party as a whole, would turn away with disgust from the nomination of any other man. But the Republican party is not in the habit of acting the fool and it will not in this case.
