' Hanna says he in well pleased^* What over, the result in Maryland and Nebraska?

There seems to be no doubt that the American army mule is no party to the Anglo-Saxon alliance. In most parts of the country this month the impecunious man can confidently look for some change in the weather. A kings could not conduct the affairs of empire more independently of the consent of his subjects than Mr. McKinley has acted in this whole Philippine muddle. Trusts, goldbugism and imperialism have received a black eye at the hands of the voters of the several states. This can be seen by the reduced republican vote at the elections. The democrats feel encouraged over the result of the elections last week in the. several states that voted. The battle of 1900 against trusts and the gold bugs will be waged from start to finish. _

The products of the farmers still continue at a low price. The products of the trusts continue to climb higher. The result^of republican legislation and protection. The trusts put up the campaign boodle. The trust has absorbed nearly all the glass Works of Indiana. Several of the plants have been shut down and a large number of men thrown out of employment. And the republican party is in favor of trusts. In this republic to have colonies is > ta be false to the principles on which it was founded, which embodied a protest against the assumption that a people could rightfully be held in subjection at the pleasure of another country. __ In the_ fourteen months between May 1, 18J>8, and June 20. 1809, the mortality in the United States army was 224 officers and 0,395 men. Of these deaths 5,509 were from disease for many of which Algerism was responsible. Mit. McKinley’s plan for a department of colonies is to be designed by . calling its head a minister of com-1 merce. (,'olonies in^ply imperialism as much now as when our forefathers revolted against being treated as col-1 onists, and therefore inferiors.

In the summer of 1890, Terrence V. Powderly referred to Mr. Hanna as an “industrial cannibal.” Mr. Powderly neglected his duties as commissioner of immigration to make speeches for Mr. Hanpa’s ticket in Ohio. Truly the ox knoweth his master’s crib. Some administration supporters blame Hanna in public for the good words he has said for the trusts, though th^y are quite willing to help spend the money that the trusts are thereby induced to contribute to the administration campaign fund. Hanna knows his business. If Congress should reverse the republican policy, and conclude to accept no other reward than the establishment of free republics in all the territory wrested from Spain, we shall show that we did not make war for conquest or plunder, but for justice and humanity, and thus set a noble example to all the world.

“Col.’? Thompson in the Press says that trusts are a good thing. That * settles it. The peopte of Pike county .t will now kuow just where the chairman of the republican party in Pike county stands He has not answered the; question as to where* h*e stands on the money question. Is he for the St. Louis platform or Mark Hanna’s gold standard without bimetallism? Fob Mr. McKinley’s sake it is sincerely hoped that his vassal Sultan will behave himself, and if he kills off any of his surplus wives or a few doaen of his slaves, he will observe due secrecy, and not make his tyranny too public. It is bad enough that our once glor|ous flag is now protecting polygamy and slavery, but wholesale murder as well might prov^too much for the American people. S As a nation we do not want any more foreign complications and entanglements on our hands, but we ought to have it distinctly understood that we heartily dissapprove of the course that Great Britain is taking with the South African republics. One mission of our country should be to give our influence to the multiplying of republics, instead of giving our silent consent to having them pulled

down and destroyed from the face of the earth. If the and stripes mean anything they stand for the advancement and propagation of the kind of government that our forefathers set up on a foundation of blood and suffering. Republican papers are claiming that the Ohio election is an endorsement of the administration. Well, if it is, they are certainly welcome to it. But the fact of the matter is that McLean and Jobes received 50.000 votes more than the republican nominee. Do you call that an endorsement?

The trusts are not so sure about things as they were before the elections last week. * The people are not in favor of monopoly and the trust combinations which are favored by protective legislation. The people favor all combinations standing alone without the protective tariff. Hanna | and “CoL” Thompson says trusts are a blessing to the country. The American Bible society issued 1,380,892 copies of the bible last year, of which “19,622 were distributed in other lands. This is only one of the societies issuing bibles. The English society issues even more than the American. The Oxford press alone has metal type for printing bibles in over 300 different languages. Yet the enemies of good books are asserting that it is a back number.

In proclaiming Thursday, Nov. 30,J as Thanksgiving Day, Governor .1 ames A. Mount says: “Now, therefore, I, do hereby designate Thursday, November thirtieth, 189b, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to Almighty God for His merciful loving kindness to us as a people. Let the day be appropriately observed in all our homes and places of public wo^hip, thus attesting our gratitude to the Father of all our mercies, -through thanksgiving and praise and by deeds of love to our fellow beings.” Do not be fooled by the cry of good times. Times are good for a few people, but the masses are poorer than ever, because what little money they have will not buy as many of the comforts of life as the same amount would have done two years ago. The only, true way'to measure prosperity for the masses is to ascertain how much of the good things of life one can buy for a day’s wages. Wages remaining the same the workingman is worse off when his day’s earnings will not buy as much asUbefore. That is the true situation now. Wages have advanced ten per cent, while nearly all articles of consumption have advanced in prices from 25 to 300 per cent. Such a condition leaves the masses in the soup. __

The immigration during the fiscal year, closing with last June was very heavy. The number of immigrants was 311,114 which is an increase of 32 per cent, over fhe figures of the year preceding. There are many years in which these figures have been exceeded. But, considering the strictness of our immigration laws, the number of our immigrants last year is certainly large. The total gain over the year before is 82,416;,of this 12,654 is accounted for by increased immigration from Italy, Russia and AustriaHungary. Of these prospective citizens of the republic 60,466, or about one fifth, can neither read nor write, while there are 1,082 who can read, but cannot write. The amount of money the immigrants are known to have brought is over $5,000,000, or an average of about $11 each. CAN'T RECOVER.

Supreme Court Decision About l*oor ^ Person Attorney. When an attorney accepts an appointment to prosecute or defend a civil action on behalf Of one who has been admitted to sue as a poor person he cannot recover from the county for services. The supreme court so held in the case of the board of commissioners of Howard county against Clark N. Pollard. The circuit court had appointed Pollard to assist in prosecuting a civil suit, and had allowed him $100, which the commissioners appealed from judgment of the superior court against them. The supreme court decided with the commissioners, holding that the statute providing for appointments in civil cases contemplates gratuitous services. The court holds that such services cannot be made compulsory. In criminal cases the county is obliged to provide counsel for the poor, but civil cases cannot be governed by the same rule.

To the People of Petersburg. Mr. Editor—I want to say to the; good people of Petersburg who so kindly expressed their willingness to j contribute money for the purpose of pumping out the water and opening up the mines of fhe J. Woolley coal company at this place, that we do not ask one cent for that purpose, opening up the mines belongs to our part of the coal business, and we expect to pay for it ourselves. We also intend to drill a hole with the diamond drill j down to that ten-foot coal vein, said to be at a depth of 310 feet in the fair I ground and Jones gas wells, and take j out the core of the coal. This will also belong to our part of the coal business and will be paid for by us and will not be public property. Now I want to suggest to the people of Petersburg! If they want to boom the town and raise the value of their property by inducing capitalists,manufacturers and other mining industries to come here, to go down with a diamond core drill and take out the core of these coal veins at the fairgrounds and Jones gas wells and show them up to the public. If they really exist as the people who saw the drill go through them say they do, you will not need to drill gas wells to boom Petersburg. Now I will go down at one or both of these places with my diamond drill and take out the core' of the coal or any other substance wanted to the depth of 310 feet for two dollars per foot, or I will give $o0 to any one else that will do the same. Jabez Woolley, Sr.

Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day, Three physicians had given me up. j Fortunately, a friend advised trying “Electric Bitters;’ and^ to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them.
