FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1899.
WHEN a man who professes to be a Republican has his Republicanism loudly vouched for by Democratic papers, real Republicans look askance at him.
THE Nebraska man evidently reasons that it is better to be a big man in a defeat than nobody in a victory even if a victory under the latter conditions were assurred.
EX-CONGRESSMAN FUNSTON, of Kansas, finds himself obscured by his 6on's lame. In announcing the Memorial Day programme, the Ottawa, Kan., Herald says: "The address will be delivered by E. B. Funston, of Allen county, father of the famous General FanBton, of the 20th Kansas."
IT seems that Bryan and his worshippers prefer the "rag time" music of a 16 to 1 campaign for 1900. This teems incomprehensible when the merits of the silver question are considered, except upon the ground that any other issue would relegate the young star to the wings of the stage, and the old liners would then come forward and run the play of the Bpavined mule on a somewhat more business basis.
THE question is, whether the condition in which the country now finds itself, with mills running day and night, wages increasing, factories enlarging and crowding their work and everybody employed and hustling— whether, were Bryan in the white house, this condition would not be considered a fairly prosperous one. We are inclined to think that Democrats would discover, at least, some signs of budding prosperity.
IMMEDIATELY after the election of McKinley there was a great deal of very frank talk from Democrats to the effect that if the McKinley administration could produce prosperity it should be given full credit for it they wore willing to let it have a trial (seeing that they could not help themselves) and if prosperity should come they would gladly acknowledge the corn. It would have been well, it Beems, to have gotten, at the time, a statement from some of these leading Democrats BB to what they considered prosperity.
HON. M. S. TAYLOB, of Ohio, who has been closely allied with President McKinley in political matters in that Btate and who iB United StateB consul at Glasgow, Scotland, is in this country on a short vacation, and will attend the Ohio Republican convention, although he says he will not take an active part therein. In a verbal report to the department of state, Mr. Taylor said: "The war with Spain was of great benefit to the United StateB, considering the advertising given us in the old world. Among the ordinary classes in Europe, there were not many who had any appreciation of our size, power or commercial importance. The truth is, they had not given us much thought. But now every person abroad is talking about the victorious nation and giving it some study and examination. In my judgment, it will not be a great while before this will have a wholesome effect upon our trade, and give us markets where our goods have not heretofore "•been admitted."
DURING the discussion of the Dingley bill in congress, one of the most direful prophesies of the Democratic orators—and the Democratic editors of the country promptly disseminated the assertions—was that protection was ruinous to foreign trade. The enactment of the law would IMl our export of manufactures. What about this prophecy? Are these statesmen and orators and editors going about pointing with pride to the fulfillment of their prognostications? The Dingley law was enacted, and yet the year 1898 was the banner year in the history of the foreign commerce of the country. For every dollar's worth of foreign merchandise bought by the United States, was sold and exported two dollars' worth of American products. And this sort of thing did not stop in 1898. In March, 1899, the exports of manufactures were $36,025,733 as against 828,314,450 for March of 1808. It is a good time for Republicans to begin to rub these facts in on those who advocated the Wilson tariff and who are doubtlesB only waiting an opportunity to begin to talk again about the beau ties of free trade.

THE Democratic leaders are cudgeling their brains in an endeavor to manufacture an issue for the coming campaign. Opposition to the government's course in the Philippines is not proving as attractive as was at first hoped, seeing that the administration is going ahead and following the only rational course open to it the trust question is not eliciting the enthusiasm and blame against the admistration that was expected silver is looked at askance by most of the old wheelhorses of the Democracy and the tariff is of course as dead as Hector. What is wanted is a real live»earthquake or something else that will sweep the country and the three-mile shore limit and wipe the Republican party out of existence. No issue has appeared as yet, but the leaders are hopefull.
GLITTERING generalities and misstatements are evidently to be the stock in trade of the silver Democrats and Populists in the next campaign. They have already marked out their programme in their recent semi-offic-ial utterances. These indicate that details are to be avoided and that the only hope is that by a constant reiteration of the calamity cry and a vociferous shouting of meaningless charges, people can be confused into believing that things are not going right. Every man who makes these charges knows that more people are employed, wages are better and the purchasing capacity of.a dollar greater than ever before hence the anxiety to avoid details and the recourse to general assertions.
THE post office department wisbes Old Glory to
fly
THE Houston (Texas) Times, a Democratic paper, seems to be getting dissatisfied with the old order of things. It says editorially: "It is high praise to Republican policy that it is always on the alert to multiply the dollars in a community that home enterprises are encouraged and that it does not hesitate to push its conquests into the regions beyond, instead of sitting supinely wringing its hands and crying ruin, when the dollars pour in and out of the banks and channels of trade. A political party that finds fault with prosperous business because it is prosperous, iB not long for this world and unfit for the next."
TIIE|frantic efforts which are being put forth by self-constituted guardians to raise money for Admiral Dewey will occasion annoyance and distress to that modest hero rather than result in contributing to bis pleasure. In the first place upon material grounds there is absolutely no necessity for these contributions. As admiral he raceives 813,000 per annum and perquisites which include a number of the ordinary requirements of subsistence. He is not an extravagant man and it does not appear that there are any unusual obligations resting upon him.
THE Omaha World Herald, Mr. Bryan's personal organ, sarcastically inquires whether the Edward Atkinson and the Professor Laughlin of today whom the administration papero denounce as copperheads, are the same Edward Atkinson and Professor Laughlin whom the Republican organs "lauded to the skies" in 1896 when the money question was paramount and when they were supporting the gold standard. Yes, it might be answered they are the same. The Edward Atkinson and Professor Laughlin whom the Bryan papers are to-day holding up to the country aB true patriots in
their work of uttering treasonous sentiments and Bending [seditious literature to American soldierB in the Philippines, are the same Edward Atkinson and Professor Laughlin whom the World Herald and its class denounced in 1896 as the hirelings of the gold power and the arch enemies of humanity.
WOOL growers as well as those in other agricultural lines have occasion to be well satisfied with the workings of the new tariff law. The importations of the raw wool in the first nine months of the present fiscal year were only half those of the corresponding months of last year and less than one third those of the corresponding months of the fiscal year, 1897, which was the last year under the Wilson law. The wool imports for the nine months ending with March, 1899, were 53,537,291 pounds valued at 95,741,470 against 102,053,945 pounds in the corresponding months of 1898, valued at $13,160,733, and 108,534,479 pounds valued at 824,625,921 in the corresponding months of 1897 under the Wilson law. Meantime, values of domestic wools have increased. In July and August 1896, when there was reason to fear that Bryan would be elected, Ohio wool sold in the New York market at 17 cents per pound while now it is selling at 25 cents Ohio medium was then

from the top of every
post office in Porto Rico, and having no funds from which the flags could be bought, asked the war department if it could not supply them. Acting Secretary Meiklejohn was compelled, much to his regret, to answer that he could not legally do so. But, Perry Heath, assistant postmaster general,, who iB pushing along the movement of the Hags, says the Porto Rican post offices shall have them if he has to Bolicit private subscription of the money to buy them.

BRITISH papere praise the American volunteers in the Philippine campaign on their devoted patriotism end gallantry. A few editors, politician and hoboes in this country, however, have discovered that our American soldiers are thieves and murderers.

BY GOVERNMENT EXPERT.
So writes Miss M. A. Armstrong, the government microscopist, after making a painstaking examination of Paine's celery compound, the only remedy that has withstood every conceivable teBt since it was first discovered by Dartmouth's great physician-pro-fessor and its formula submitted to the scrutiny of the ablest practitioners in the world.
Paine's Celery Compound the Only Spring Remedy Endorsed.
Thousands of letters have been received by the proprietors of the remedy from men and women in every community, ali telling one experience —the immediate relief and perfect cure effected by this remedy.
The best physicians openly endorse and recommend it, authorizing the public use of their statements that Paine's celery compound, in case after case, cures rheumatism and kindred
was the first issue and it was a little late, almost Saturday nightr when our editor got the paper out.. We hope that be will make a success and if he works at it as hard as he says he is going to, we know that he will not fail.
