MACK MARK’S HARK. An Ideal President to Monopolists and Manlpnlators a Men and L«(lalatl> Mark Hanna and the s ndicate association with him devoted ;heir untiring energy and money with ut limit to secure the nomination, a; i election of McKinley. He has proved to be an ideal occupautof the executiv chair, viewed from the standpoint ©t the corrupt gang of republican n magers who placed him there. This syndicate was not seeking a “leader.” What it required was a “mask.” ] cKinley was certainly their man. He ias a face that beams like a harvest t oon, and a tongue that never wears; s in uttering bland but meaningless p ititudes. His policy is not much crit eised, for the ggod reason that he evad scommitting himself to any specified toliey. To comprehend, or ra Her to detect, the lack of explicit mear ng of McKinley’s utterances, one mi t first understand that he is simply “mask.” and his mission is to cover s ad shield the “gang” behind him, pa tly by that beaming face, and when necessary by utterances susceptible o; double meaning. The only way to g t an accurate understanding of wh t McKinley means is to wait and see *hat he does. Reviewing McKinle'yY record, we find that he very easil relieves! his conscience of the pron scs made to hundreds of thousands v ho supported him in the bejief that h- would make earnests continued and effectual efforts to bring about ini rnntional bimetallism. A review of is utterances will not recall any dire< promises in regard to bimetallism. Chese promises, like most others if ade by him,

M’KINLEY’S POLICY. DraMMtMlIw Method* ail Cn| | Phraaei ot the Forenoit Ueiihtleaa. “The future of , the Philippine islands,” said President McKinley In his Boston speech, "is nowin the hands of the American people. 1 have no light or knowledge not common to my countrymen. I do not prophesy. The j whole subject is now with congress, I and congress is the voice, the con- 1 science, and thp judgment of the Amer- 1 ican people.” • Sounds tine, doesn’t it? But where ; are ’’the voice, tl»|conscience, and the judgment of the American people,” just at present; and how are they to have opportunity to make themselves felt? What- sort of a policy and leadership is this which relegates the Philippine question to “the hands of . the American people,” and then proceeds to tie those hands, by refusing to convoke congress in special session? If President McKinley spoke in good faith at Boston, why is not the Fiftysixth congress sitting at Washington to deal with the Philippine question, and to outline a Philippine policy ? The president is like Orator Puff; fce has two tones to his voice. To the people he says: “I leave it all to congress.” To congress he says: “Leave it all te me.” Until December next, for two-thirds ; of a year likely to be prolific of events j of the most momentous character with | relation to the Philippine question, the | “voice” of the people will be silent, the i “conscience” of the people can effetft no quickening touch, the “judgment” of : the people will have no way to make it- j self felt. The president will have abso- |

The record of the wa is one of appointments to respousil; e staff' offices of untrained and miimpc tant relat ives of the politicians behir ! him. The result was t hat on soldiers were sent to Cuba with worse :han ordinary cattle accommodations, without adequate medical orQsurgi al attendance or supplies, with low |jj ?ude and improper ammunition, an then fed on “embalmed” beef. Inferentially. at least, McKinley declared at the beginning ■ f the war that it was to be a war of lil iration, of humanity, and not a war c conquest and extension of territory. Tffe unscrpulous band s behind him, however, are not given' o any kind of humanity that does nc pay six per cent, annual dividends. Having saved the Cuban and Philippi e lambs, the present proposition; seined to be to take their hides in payi ent for salvation. v During the war, how ver. was the period of the gang’s n .st successful achievements. When 1 ie incomparable Dewey won aie iina .diless victory at Manila and flushed With pride the hearts of his eountryme . the gang behind McKinley seized t is opportune diversion of public inte est to launch the great iron trust. The brilliant victory al Santiago gave us free Cuba through the thrilling valor of our force® ant the steel and tin plate trusts by the g; lg behind McKinley. Every victory by land, or sea has found its response in the joyous plaudit® of our people a d the launching of new trusts by thi gang. In the end, that smilir • face rises up to beam on an applaudi g nation and, also, to detract attention; from the fact that the hands of his : backers are plunged into the pocket* of the people.

World. -The sum of the appropriations by the Fifty-fifth congress reaches the enormous total of $1,570,349,578. That is the number of dollars the first two years of President McKinley’s administration has cost the people, which is about 550,000,000 more than any previous congress voted out of the treasury, including the congresses which convened during the civil’hvar.—Kansas City Times. -Mr. Reed might os well reconcile himself to his fate, tie will never be president. He is a positive character, and, once installed in the white house, he wciuld be president. McKinley, the weakling, the clay for such potters as Mark Hanna and the political syndicate which he represents, a man that can be easily bent to their selfish purposes, is the sort of material for a republican presidential candidate.^ Louisville Dispatch.
