FRIDAY. OCTOBER 14, 1808.

THE Populist campaigners have been assisted slightly by the western prairie fires, but the damage inflicted is not sufficient to enable them to succeed.

How do the New York Democrats stand on the silver question? They have not said, but nominated silver men for governor and lieutenant governor.

COLONEL BRYAN went to Washington in the interest of the sick men in his regiment, but he found time to caucus with the sick Democratic campaign managers.

THE military services of Col. William Jennings Bryan should not be underestimated and we are quite sure the country appreciates the silence he has 60 bravely undergone.

THERE are excellent reasons for believing that Aguinaldo has been spoiled by his friends who have so persistently exploited him as "the boy orator" and "our peerless leader."

THOSE Republican congressional candidates whose districts are being invaded by leader Joe Bailey are fortunate. The more the people hear and see of Bailey the larger the Republican vote will be.

THE political remains of David B. Hill have been used by the New York Democrats for outside breastworks decorative purposes. Hill may have to emulate the example of Mr. Cleveland and move out of the state.

AFTER clamoring for an investigation of the conduct of the war the Democratic campaign managers announce that they will not place any reliance in the findings of the commission. This is rather bard on the Democratic commissioners.

A REPUBLICAN candidate is not stampeded when tearful and sympathetic Democrats come to him and confide in him that other Republicans are planning his defeat. The cloak is so old and so threadbare that through its holes and filmy texture the figure of the wolf and hypocrit is seen.

THE Democratic supreme court of Kentucky has declared constitutional the "separate coach" law recently passed by a Democratic legislature. This law obliges colored passengers on the railroads to ride in separate and inferior coacheB from those in which white people ride.

COIN HARVEY'S financial school is again in operation at Chicago, the first lesson being in the shape of a fervent appeal to the free silverites of the country to sustain him by pledges of a dollar a month per capita for the next twelve months. After that it is believed that he will be self supporting.

THE Republican party is a debt paying party. Witness the reduction in the national debt during the administrations of Republican Presidents See the reduction of our state debt under Republican governors, and the same rule applies in the administration of county affairs by a Republican board of commissioners and a Republican auditor.

A CRISIS.

It is all important that a Republican congresB be elected this fall, not only as an indorsement of the war, but as an aid to President McKinley in solving the great issues which are coming upon our country. The opportunity has come for a great step forward. Shall it be made a disgraceful retreat-.' The nation has arrived at a great land mark in its career. The old isolation policy suitable for the period of its feebleness and insecurity must be discarded, and a step onward to larger activities and greater influence has to be taken if the country is to intelligently meet the requirements of its position and realize its destiny. Providence has placed in our hands to-day opportunities for national advantage which may not come again in the lifetime of anybody now here, if ever, and unless we meet them promptly our remissness will rise to disturb and humiliate us in after years. The United States has a chance to gain an immediate and important accession of lorritorv in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean. The country's wisest statesmen from the beginning of the government have realized and ex-

pressed the importance which possefi-1

sion of Cuba and Porto Rico would have for the United States. The acquisition of the Philippines, which fortune has now virtually put in our hands, would be of immense advantage to us in the great world-strife for the tra^e of Asia.

EXPENDITURES FOR PENSIONS.

New York Tribune: Commissioner Evans' forthcoming review of the operations of the federal pension bureau for the fiscal year ending June 30, a brief abstract of which has been given out from Washington, sustains .the contention repeatedly advanced that, though the closing years of the decade would undoubtedly see the roll of pensioners raised to over a million names, the high water mark of pension expenditures had been safely reached and passed with the disbursement of the record-breaking appropriation of $158,155,342 in 1893. During the four years of Mr. Cleveland's second term in the Presidency repressive methods of administration in the pension'bureau had brought the growth of the pension list, especially noticeable in 1890, 1891 and 1892, to a virtual standstill, so that though nearly 500,000 claims under the act of 1890 and earlier acts were still pressing for adjustment, the net increase of names on the pension rolls from June 30, 1893, to June 30, 1897, was barely 10,000. The annual disbursements through the pension agencies had fallen during the same period from S158,00u,000 to less than 8140,000,000. It was to be expected that a return under Republican management to a juster and more liberal bureau policy would result in material additions to the pension roll and a perceptible increase in the sum annually voted for pension payments But, although the new commissioner has granted during the year just enr.ed more'claims than have been allowed in tkps other year since the bureau was organized, and the aggregate number of pensioners has at last been carried beyond the million limit, the net expenditure of the year has risen less than $5,000,000, and does not threaten, even with a continuance of the present policy of prompt adjustments, to reach the record-holding total disbursed in 1893. But with a list easily exceeding 1,000,000 names, ,and with first payments made on the largest number of new claims ever granted in a single year, there is much encouragement to be found in the fact that the total expenditure for 1898 is put at only $144,051,879, while for 1897, with 976,014 pensioners, the total was just a trifle short of $140,000,000. Indeed, for 1895, with only 970,000 names on the roll, the amount speni was nearly $141,000,000, so that probably 40,000 names have since been added at an increased cost of less than $4,000,000.

IT is encouraging to note that the county Democracy is devoting its entire energy to an attempt to stir up a quarrel in the Republican ranks. It is more encouraging to note that the Republican candidates and their friends see the motive of the shallow game and take no stock in the bugaboo stories that are set afloat. That the Democrats resort to this method of campaigning augurs that they regard it as their only hope of pulling their county ticket through. That the Republicans steadfastly refuse to go to war in their own household is prophetic of a sweeping Republican victory in Montgomery county.

A VICTORY for the Democratic party in the congressional elections a few weeks hence, even though the Democrats of part of the country have ignored silver, would bring that i66ue up in 1900, arouse distrust all over the country in the interval, send gold out of the country as in 'Cleveland's day?, and put an immediate check on business expansion.

Homer Wants Damage**.

Homer Harriman ha6 entered 6uit in the circuit court against Wm. H. Hughes for $3,000 damages. He alleges in his complaint that last April Hughes had him arrested for trespass and that upon trial he was found not guilty. While awaiting trial he was confined in the Montgomery county jail where he suffered greatly. He has been damaged in name, credit and feelings, and besides by reason of his arrest he was unable to get bis crop in in proper shape and accordingly his yield was short and inferior.

You Have Been Tolcl

That the Haymakers' carnival on Thursday evening of the street fair will be amusing. There will certainly be "a hot time in the old town" that night. To make things warm and lively everybody i6 invited to participate. If you can't march you can 6ing. If you can't sing you can wear a straw hat and "holler." Everybody will be Haymakers that night.
