FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1899. ‘ Imperialism belongs only to a monarchy, and to enforce it requires an autocrat with a standing army. • The law makers overlooked a de-■ veloping field when they neglected to j require a revenue stamp on all sword presentations. It is understood tha% thle Sultan of Sulq has decided to/remam pacified; just as long as the^American people j keep putting up the money/ “Manifest destiny” id receiving severe wrenches by th|/recent, exposures, showing the inside history of the peace negotiations with Spain. The democratic party added a large | amount of territory to the United | States, but they never had to increase i the standing army to gain or to hold it. • • If the disaffection of the colored republicans in Ohio is as serious as reported, the administration might draft the Saltan of Sulu for a few speeches. We cannot let the opportunity pass without commending the Venzuelan policy of the Hon. Richird Olney. It is the richest legacy of the Cleveland administration. It is very evident that the Hon. Thomas B. Reed, attorney at law. j New York City, is too busy with his clients to make any campaign speeches this fall.

What has the republican press to say about bimetalism by international agreement these days.' W’hat’s the matter. The St.Louis platform certainly does not suit them. In his address at Huron, S. D., President McKinley took a step in advance of his previous position regarding the Philippine^, by speaking of them as already “become a part of the United States.” ' The republican party has kicked aside the Monroe doctrine and the constitution of the United States. These documents are old fogyisms in the eyes of the Hanna administration. In other words they say they are out of date. Congress should abolish the law allowing prize money to the Navy. The spectacle of Admiral Sampson claiming the lion’s share of the prize for the destruction of Cervera’s fleet which took place in his absence, is not an inspiring one. Since the recent prder of the president “broke the back of thqpcivil service law” by opening anew thousands of places to appointment thrbugh political influence instead of merit, it is not surprising that the politicians of hte party in his own state and, in his interest should seek to further beat the law by requiring contributions froth office holders. ■ The First Assistant PostmasterGeneral is quoted as expressing surprise that Aguinaldo did not succomb when offered a commission in the United States Army. His surprise is borne of the fact that he has witnessed the pacification of a great many Ohio insurgents by the proper administration of official medicine in the shape of a post office appointment. “There is glory enough for all” so said that gallant and generous soul, Admiral Schley, when the people essayed to credit him with all the honor of the victory at Santiago. Singularly enough, this same phrase came to the rescue of Secretary Long in making one of his recent speeches in the West when he attempted to laud Sampson and the crowd yelled for Schley.

One week from next Tuesday elec* tions occur in Ohio, Kentucky, Nebraska and several other states. The campaigns have been fought to a finish on both sicftps, Mark Hanna, President McKinley and all the government officials have been putting in good time in Ohio, Kentucky and Nebraska at the people’s expense trying to save the republican party from defeat in those states. There was a time when republican editors frequently quoted from the declaration of independence, and also the utterances of President Abraham Lincoln. They have quit lately and say the declaration of independence and the utterances of the illustrious Lincoln are fogish, that they were all right in their time but not at the present time. The sayings of Mark Hanna suits them better.

The Press need not worry itself about the cause of 16 to 1. The Chicago platform of 1806 wiH be re* adopted in the next democratic national convention. But now to be frank, “colonel,” will the St. Louis platform of 1896 be adopted by the republican national convention? Of course you are privileged to “hedge” on this just as soon as you please. Bimetalism is no longer republicanism. President McKinley was a bimetalist up until the time he received the nomination for president, when he became anything to be elected. Mark Hanna made his platform. There is not a voter in Pike county that is ashamed of the vote he cast in 1896 for the cause o^ilver at the legal ratio of 16 to L without the aid or consent of any other nation. They believe that the United States is able to care for itself without dictation from English money lenders. The Indian corn propaganda at the Paris exposition and the conventions recently held in the West in the interest of corn producers have brought out the fact that over twenty important products are now manufactured from corn. One of the most important products is distilled spirits, the demand for which has increased greatly since the invention of smokeless powder, in the manufacture of which the spirits are largely* used. Among other products made from corn are: Mixing glucose, crystal glucose, grape sugar, anhydrous grape sugar, special sugar, pearl starch, powdered starch, reiined grits, tiourine, dextrine, British gum, granulated gum, gum paste, corn oil, corn oil cake, rubber, substitute, gluten feed, chop feed, gluten meal and corn germ. With the present economical methods of manufacturn not a particle of the corn is wasted. There is no refuse.

Our neighbor down the street is of the opinion that he is the second Bill Nye, Bob Burdette or some other humorist from the number of jokes he has been trying to work off on an unsuspecting public for the past several weeks. He seemed to be in one of his humorous (?) moods last week and cracked one about the Democrat continually stabbing the Barker family in the back, ^hy, bless your soul, neighbor when have you ever seen a line in the Democrat that was disrespectful to the Barker family! We have no light againt the Barker family. Not in the least. But people of Pike county must consider the source of these humorous jokes which are being cracked by “colonel” Thompson of the Press. He was defeated for county superintendent* by John D. Grimes and he is still sore. r The republicans are not pleased with the probable success in the organization of the thrashing-machine trust. It is ui-ged that this will bring home to the pocketbooks of the farmera the greed of these monopolies, and, besides, when production catches up with consumption, the large works at Columbus and Richmond, now employing so many skilled workmen, would most certainly be closed down. It is stated by way of reference that over at Crawfordsville, the steel nail trust has dismantled and closed a factory, throwing nearly one hundred men out of work. The history of trusts, it is urged, is to close the smaller factories as fast as the manufactured product passes to a surplus.—Indianapolis News, rep. Peculiar indeed is it not that republican papers say but little about “international bimetalism.” The St. Louis platform was for bimetalism and President McKinley appointed a commission to go abroad to see about it. That commission cost the people aver $100,000 just to fulfill a pledge made by the republican party. But possibly that plank in the platfortn was merely a makeshift to hold free silver republicans in line. What kind of a dodge will the party make at the next national convention in order to hold the free silver republicans in line? Hanna will have to invent something. The people were fooled by the Hanna party in 1890, but will they in 1900. Well, hardly.

Newspapers are now getting a taste of the trusts. Print paper has advanced 25 percent in the last two weeks. Envelopes have also advanced and other paper stock accordingly. Republican pipers will not say anything about this. They would rather lie about the matter. The republican journals have never said anything about the advance in fencing wire, nails and all steel and iron supplies. They would rather lie about it. ‘•These combination* known as trusts, are not a political question at all. They are simply and purely a business question. They have the best men in the country at their head. We all believe in co-operation. I believe in | their organization”—Hanna’s speech at Cleveland, Oct. 18th, 1899. -"'Gregg’s new double roast process retains the sti'ength, flavor and aroma of their coffees which are roasted daily, and insures to the consumer fresh goods at all times.

Secretary—Mrs. Huldah Rader of Mount Vernon. Treasurer—Mrs. Fannie Hewett of Princeton. Miss Lula Fj*ey of Bellfontaine, Ohio, gave two very interesting talks on the habits and customs of the Cot reans, a knowledge of which she gained during her labors as missionary at Corea, during the past live years. Miss Frey is an interesting speaker and delighted her audiences Sunday morning and evening. She also made an interesting talk before the pupils of the high school Monday morning. Miss Frey will return to her work at Corea, sailing from San Francisco, Cal. i Miss Margaret R. Dixon of Connorsville, Ind., conducted the exercises of the session and proved herself an excellent presiding officer. Half of Happiness Depends upon the stomach. If you have no constipation, indigestion, chronic sick headache, summer complaint or any other trouble of stomach or bowels, you ought to be happy— usually are. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin rids you of these ills. Its pleasant and powerful. It doesn’t cost $1 to try it, 10 doses 10 cents, at Oliphant Drug Co’s. o Ingersoll’s Last Letter. “I think the treatment of the Filipinos wrong, foolish. I do not want the Filipinos unless they want us. I believe in expansion if it is honest. I want Cuba if the Cubans want us. At the same time I think our forces should be immediately withdrawn from Cuba and the people of that island allowed to govern themselves. We waged war against Spain for liberty and for right and we must wear the laurels unstained.”—R. G. Ingersoll to Editor Chester Claim, July 20, 1899, the day before he died. Bismark's Iron Nerve. Was the result of his splendid health. Indomitable will and tremendous energy are not found where Stomach, Liver, Kidneys and Bowels are out of order. If you want these qualities and the success they bring, use Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They develop every power of brain and body. Only 25 cents at Stearnes Drug Company.

Lincoln On Expansion. No man is pood enough to govern another man without that other’s consent. When the white man gov* eras himself, that is self-government: but when he governs himself and also another man, that is more than selfgovernment—that is despotism. Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in us: our defense is in the spirit which priaes liberty as the heritage of all men in'alHagds, everywhere.. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and under a just God cannot long retain it. Abraham Lincoln.

Hanna Hat Decided. Hanna's brutal frankness in coming out; flat-footed in support and approval of'the trusts, in his speech before the Fifth District Club at Cleveland Thursday night, tears the mask from republican ’ hypocrisy. That party stands committed in word by its leader to the monster monopolies which its policies have created, as it has long been committed to them in deed. There is no longer reason or excuse for subterfuge. The Boss has in effect said; ‘*We are for the trusts,” and that settles the attitude of the republican party. We may look now for a disappearance of the make-believe opposition to trust domination that has been showing itself in a mild and ladylike way in some of the republican papers. Praise and support of these extortionate combines should be preached instead. Hanna has spat upon the anti-trust plank in the Toledo platform. He feels that he has in hand the money of the trusts and the coercive power they exert by means of their employment of thousands of wage-earners. He boldly kicks the anti-trust humbug of his own convention into the air and proclaims that the trusts are good things, and that the only deficiency is that they are not big enough and that there are not enough of them. The Boss of the republican party has left no excuse for those who are opposed to trusts to vote for the candidates of that party in the Ohio and other state elections or in the presidential contest. His Cleveland manifesto serves notice on the country that he has decided to depend for success on the paper money. It remains for the democracy to demonstrate that manhood suffrage is still a potent and effective agent for the salvation and maintenance of our institutions.—St. Louis Republic.
