To date, the situation in Kentucky seems to be "hands off your guns, gen tlemen." We may expect Mr. Bryan to make another analysis of the election results after the capture of Aguiualdo. If we are not mistaken in the man, Mr. Goebel inay yet fall back on the Senatorship as a consolation prize. In about three weeks President Mc- Ivinley, as Mr. Cleveland cynically ex pressed it, will have "Congress on his hands." So long as the Kentucky situation is as bad as it is, it would be highly in consistent for us to poke fun at the South American revolutionists. It has been noticed that the Mary land Democrats have refrained from mentioning the Chicago platform or "our peerless leader" in their jollifica tion meetings. From the fact that the Democratic editors and orators have suddenly shown admiration for the Hon. John Sherman, we infer that the "crime of 1873" has been condoned. Colonel Watterson and the Courier- Journal are having a hard time these days. Between Goebel and Bryan it is likely that the Colonel would prefer to take to the woods. It was quite natural that the success of the Republican cause in Ohio should result in renewed demand for the re tirement of Mr. Hanna by the Demo cratic newspapers. Attorney General Griggs, when ap proached with the offer of a Vice Presi dent ial nomination, said: "No thank you, a robe ai.d a seat on the Supreme Bench would just about suit me." Aguinaldo has shown himself to be a sprinter of no mean abilities, and after the war is over, our Post Office Depart ment should provide "Aggie" with an oppointment in the rural free delivery service. • • New York State is to have a state constabulary in charge of the police in its cities, the head of which is to be appointed by Governor Roosevelt. How th 9 Tammany Tiger must be lashing his tail. After Mr. Bryan has recovered suffi ciently from his efforts ia the Nebraska campaign, ho may find it desirable to visit New York state again. His party in the many-times-pivotal state is sadly in need of vitalizing energy. Aimost ten days have elapsed since election, but Hon. C. Schurz or Hon. Blush Mason have failed to enlighten the expectant Nation as to whether it was a storm or just a shower that over took the Aunties. Secretary Gage seems to be the right man in the right place. In his annual report the Secretary will recommend the distinct enactment of the gold standard, and will advocate as insepa rable thereto the need of providing an i adequate method of maintaining it. It is reported, but not as yet con firmed, that among the improvements at the north end of the Capitol at Washington will be a blushery for the exclusive use of the Honorable Mr. Mason, of Illinois, and the Honorable R. P. Pettigrew, of South Dakota. V The resignation of the New York Evening Post and the New York World to the fate which the people have thrust upon themselves, has about as much consolation as the perfunctory blessing of the condemning judge when lie says:"And may the Lord lave mercy upon your soul." It is said that Richard Croker will -spend the winter in England, where he •an once more hob-nob with his Royal Highness, Albert Edward, and inciden tally uperate his bank account by judicious investments in racing pools. Thes-' Tiger victories in Gotham om. ;.;gh, : ut Ci iker needs them in I "Like father, like son," is certainly exemplified in the heroic military ca reer of Major John A. Logan. His death, while gallantly leading his bat tallian in the Philippines, brings sor row to a wide circle, and heartfelt sympathy will be extended the widow of the gallant Union General, who, by the death of her son, is left without a male relative. American capital is being rapid ly invested in the islands which have of late cotue under the con trol of the United States Govern ment. The business men of the country realize that we have to send abroad 8250.000,000 a year for tropical products, and think they might as well get their share of the profits from the production of these articles, every dollar's worth of which can be grown in Cuba, Porto llico, Hawaii and the Philippines, and thus keep this vast sum of money within our own bor ders instead of distributing it to the outside world every year. Low-tariff advocates who are fond of reiterating u the threadbare assertion that protection destroys our markets abroad should take a look at the figures of our foreign commerce for the month of Octo ber and compare them with the good old low-tariff days under the Wilson law. The October exports in 18'J!) were 812tj,7t;4,75t>. while in IS!>4, the first October after the enactment of the Wilson law they were 883,053,121, and in 1895 887,090,1)72. For the twelve months ending with October 1899, they were 81,29(5,890,845, against 8809,<549,289 in the twelve months ending with October, 1895, under Wilson law. The old soldiers of the war of 1861-5 have no patience with the fault-finders in the so-willed Demo cratic party to-day. General Dan Sickles, who was in Washington the other day, said: 'T have always been a Democrat and always expect to be one, but Bryanism is not the faith of the old-time leaders of the party. I would scorn myself were I to pre tend to endorse such principles as were embodied in the Chicago platform, which has already nearly 1 made shipwreck of the Democratic party; and if put forward again, will be more overwhelmingly crushing than in 1896." Secretary Gage's proposition to redeem 825,000,000 worth of the outstanding bonds of the United States not yet due the purpose be ing to put into circulation a part of the surplus now in the Treasury, will probably bring the total money in circulation in the United States to the two billion dollar line. The total money in circulation on Nov. Ist was 81,963,716,148, and the great excess of exports over im ports is constantly bringing money into the country from abroad, so that it seems almost certain that the two billion dollar line in our circulation will be reached very soon, thus increasing the total circulation 33 per cent, since the nomination of Bryan —and all this without the free and unlimited coinage of silver. About the last of the industries to recover from the depression caused by low tariff and Demo cratic rule is that of woolen manu factures. The enormous importa tions of woolen goods under the Wilson low tariff paralyzed the manufactures of woolen goods within the United States, and it is only during the last few months that they have fully recovered from the depression due to the enormous stock in the country when the Dingley law was passed. Now, however, the woolen mills of the country are running on full time, and in many cases overtime. De mand for American wool is in creasing, and the last American industries to feel the effect of Republican protection is gratefully acknowledging its benefits. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Roar Admiral Schley hoisted his Hag 011 the cruiser Chicago yester day and assumed command of the South Atlantic squadron. When he has sailed away to his new post of duty it is most sincerely to be hoped that the end will come to the Sampson-Schley controversy. Schley has said that there was glory enough in the naval battle off San tiago for everybody, and so there was. Let it rest there with the sailing of the squadron. History will determine and fix the credit, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. When that history is written it will record: Of Sampson, that he was in com mand; that he planned the fight; that it was conducted according to liis plans, that while he was absent when the Spanish lleet came out, he rapidly approached, ran the fire of the forts and was present at the finish. While he did not actually participate, it was his genius that produced the results. Of Schley, that his movements preliminary to the blockade of Santiago were such as to bring up on him the condemnation of the Navy Department and naval offi cers. He was in the fight, how ever, and because lie did partici pate the official records have not been laid up against him. He de serves the same credit that is due captains of the various warships. He has his full reward. History will further record that Captain Clark, of the Oregon, should have been awarded the stars of a rear admiral. lie was the forcible man who stood out in bold relief. He made the famous cruise around Cape Horn, with his vessel stripped for action all along the Brazillian coast and with his men sleeping by their guns, ready for a moment's notice to engage the en tire Spanish lleet. With the hero ism of Clark that of Schley is not to be mentioned. The Oregon after that voyage, that required both nerve and bravery; was in the fight from beginning to end. We cannot compare Clark and Schley, for Clark's record is as bright as the unclouded sun in the heavens. History, too, will award Wain wright, who fought the torpedo boats with nothing more formidable than a steam yacht, a special niche in the gallery of heroes. Yes, there was honor enough for all, and it will be well if matters are allowed to rest. TERSE TOPICS FROM NATION'S CAPITOL. ricKinley and Next Speaker of the House in Hearty Accord on the Leading Questions--Con tracts Let for Six New Cruisers. President McKinley and Speaker-to be Henderson are the closest of friends, personally as well as politically, and the first thing Col. Henderson did after his arrival in Washinnton, for the ses sion of Congress, was to call at the White House and hold a long confer ence with the President on the work that is expected to be accomplished at this session. This personal harmony between the President and the man who will preside over the House, augurs well for the country and for the Republican party; it means that the executive and legislative branches of the government are to work together much smoother than they did in the last Congress. The President and Mr. Reed were never the slightest bit un fx-iendly in their personal relations, but there were several important questions of party policy on which they were not only in accord, but were actually an tagonistic in their opinions. This naturally led to embarassment, and in some cases to the failure altogether of legislation which the President would not attempt to push because of Mr. Reed's opposition would give the Democrats an opportunity to say that the party in the House was divided into factions, led by himself and Mr. Reed. In the coming Congress, the President and the Speaker of the House will work together in all things, and the result is bound to be beneficial both to the country and to the party. Col. Henderson can hardly be said to have opened headquarters, since his unanimous nomination to be Speaker by the Republican caucus, was assured many months ago, but he is in his office daily and is glad to have mem bers of the House call and talk to him about their committee assignments. There will bo nothing even remotely resembling a shake-up among the old chairmen of the House —except in cases where tbey express a wish for a change, they are likely to get their old places —but there are several important chair manships vacant. For instance, that of the Committee on the Juniciaay which was filled by Col. Henderson in the last House, and that of the Com mittee on Banking and Currency, held Mr. Joseph Walker, of Massachusetts, j who was not a candidate for re-election ' to the present house. Whether the \ ranking Republicans on those Com- ! mittees will be made chairmen or new | men put at their heads, is a question j that Col. Henderson will decide, and j he declines to <nv publicly one word I about either the Committees or the work of Congress, saying that he pre fers acts to do his talking. There is some talk about a change in the House rules, but the confidence of members of the House in Col. Henderson is so great that it is perfectly safe to say that his wishes will be allowed to gov ern the matter entirely, and that any changes made will be upon his sugges tions. The Board which has been consider ing the bids recently submitted to the Navy Department for the construction of six armored cruisers provided for by the last Congress, has recommended that each of the following firms shall be awarded a contract to build one cruiser: Union Iron Works San Fran cisco; Lewis Nixon (Crescent Ship- Building Works), Elizabethport, New Jersey; Bath Iron Works, Bath, Me., Trigg Ship-Building Company, Rich mond, Va.; Fore River Engine Com pany, Braintree, Mass., and Neafio & Neuy, Philadelphia, Pa. The recom mendations must be acted upon by Sec retary Long, before it becomes effec tive, but there is no doubt of its appro val. The price tor each cruiser, ex elusive of armor, slightly exceeds one million dollars. Owing to the large Republican ma jority in the Senate of the Congress about to assemble, the Senate Commit tees will be changed so as to give the Republicans nine of those having thir teen members and seven of those hav ing eleven. This will make the Fin ance Committee anti-silver for the first time in years, and will insure the prompt reporting of any financial bill that the Republican leaders may wish to pass. This will be a fair apportion ment of the committee memberships, as the Republicans will have fifty-one Senators, without taking account of the four vacancies—one each Irom Cal ifornia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Utah —if Senator Hayward, of Neb., lives, and fifty if he dies and is suc ceeded by a dem-pop, while there are only thirty-five Senators—twenty-eight Democrats and seven Populists or Silver Republicans—on the opposition side. It will not cause any silver Senator to be removed from the Finance Committee, as there are two vacancies left by the retirement of White and Turpie; these will simply bo filled by Republicans which will make the com mittee stand seven gold to six silver men. Boss Gorman is again in the saddle in Maryland. This was fully shown at a secret conference, held at Gorman's Washington residence, at which Gov.- elect Smith was instructed by Gorman just how to dispose of the state patron ago of the Gorman machine. Representative Curtis, of Kansas, said emphatically: "Kansas will give McKinley not less than 35,000 majority over Bryan in 1900. I know how strong the President is in our State and over the west generally, and how thoroughly in accord with his views our people are."

The Liars Club failed to hold a ses sion last week. The members seem to have lost interest in the club since the election, and we were unable to get a quorum. Pap Blodget, Pap Berlleld and C. W. Beklin held a short session in the post-office. Tonny Snyder got on his ear and put the three out. He has been edgewise since election and lays his defeat to the Emporium Club, for not supporting the ticket. Joe Logue has been at work for six days; this being the first time such a thing has happened in years. John Logue sprung a good one to-day, but the club was not in session, so nothing was re corded. Your scribe has just finished a hearty supper, composed of bear steak, which accounts for such crooked writing. George Hoover, one of our members, has killed four bears this sea son, one being a monster, weighing about 400 pounds. I presume Dalrym ple and Win. McDonald have the market at Emporium stocked by this 1 time. Something has happened one of our members. I think his best girl has gone back 011 him, as he has his head shaved. Grundy Logue is piling wood, so he cannot attend the club. John Johnson is a citizen now and says he won't tell any more whoppers. The big mill is running now, and the club will hold no more sessions until snow comes. Every member has lied out and will have to wait for new members. Hanscom has reformed since election. Harve Smith and Norman Johnson claim superiority over the other, and Ike Bowen will knock them off their pins, should they happen to meet him. Martin Bowen expects to ride the goat the first time he comes to town. M. J. Logue will accompany him in his perilous ride. FIDK. Geo. Noland, Rockland, 0., says, "My wife had piles forty years.
