CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE, j
The Itcxult of the State Klecttoaa
SIIOUM Aiiprovnlof the Preal
detit'M Policy.
Now that the result of the elections
of 1899 is known the administration can
go forward with the ansuranee that its
policies have been emphatically ap
proved by the people. The country has
spoken and its verdict is that new na
tional issues developed by circum
stances have been faithfully and ably
handled by President McKinley as far
a 9 they lay within his province, and he
has scrupulously avoided going beyond
that, lie has been guided by 'he tra
ditional upirit of Americanism and
kept in the closest touch with the gen
eral sentiment and common sense of
the country. His policy is that of the
mass of the people and his constant
study has been the goof' of tin- whole
country. President McKinley has no
vagaries. His opinion 's made up cau
tiously. He is far removed from the
class of brilliant egotists who Ihink
that conclusions carefully formed are
too humdrum to be up to their political
standard. Long experience in public
life has taught him to view and hear
all sides, and his temperament is that
of a man well guarded from hasty emo
tion or impulse.
Since the election the president has
remarked to some callers at the white
house:"The more 1 see of the confi
dence reposed in my administration by
the people of the country the more I feel
the weight of the responsibility rest
ing upon me." The sincerity of the
president's words will be admitted by
all who have intelligent ly observed his
character. He is not affected by the
vanities of high station, but feels al
ways the seriousness of the duties im
posed upon him, especially those that
require the shaping of policies under
new conditions. Far more than a share
of this labor has fallen to his adminis
tration. The most perplexing question
with which he was Ailed upon to deal,
that of the I'hi'ippines. was absolutely
unknown in the ranvass of 1890. A
president with a greater pride of self
assertion, or with a less sensitive re
gard for the sober and substantial judg
ment of the people themselves, might
easily have made a mistake in mee'ing
the complications of diplomacy and an
unexpected war on the far side of the
Pacific. But the voice of the country
is that McKinley in every instance has
done what was right and best.
There are times when the nation ad
vances with exceptional power and ra
pidity. The present administration is
one of the periods. It was elected to
preserve a sound currency and bring
back industrial prosperity. This was
quickly accomplished, but is only one
item amontr the important achieve
ments. A foreign war was pushed
through with remarkable success. An
other war, the unforsecn sequel to the
first, has been vigorously prosecuted
until Ihe enemy no longer pretends
to make a determined stand. The
United States has expanded territorial
ly in the greatest ocean of the world
and which is nearer to us geographical
ly than to any other great civilized
power. President McKinley has met
every crisis and every problem with
calm balance, prudence, executive ca
pacity and unquestioned success. The
November elections are the ample proof
that his labors are approved and ap
preciated. Demagogues will rail as
usual and partisan detraction will con
tinue, but the country stands squarely
with McKinley, and will see that he
works out the mission so well begun.—
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A BLOWN-UP BUGABOO.
The ilult-Uolilln Pullry of ".\ntl-lin
pt*riuliMin" Sll ufVi il Out nl
tlie Polln.
It is generally admitted that the anti
expansion or anti-imperia list movement
was generally condemned in the elec
tions. Wherever hostility to the presi
dent's policy wys made a special issue
the president held his own compared
with his remarkable vote in 1890 or his
party vote in subsequent years. Some
claim is made that the president was
not sustained in Massachusetts because
the republican plurality was not as
large as it was last year. The demo
crats in ls'.i.s nominated a more popular
man for governor and the silver issue
was ignored. The gold democrats de
clared for him, and anti-imperialism
was made the chief issue, yet t he demo
cratic candidate received about 4.OMJ
fewer votes than did the democratic
candidate a year ago. The republican
vote fell off' more thousand* because
congressmen were not vof.il for.in
Maryland, where the democrats won,
anti-expansion was not hinted at by
the democrats. In Ohio 100,1)00 men
voted for Mayor Jones, who previous to
the election had not said a word on the
question of expansion.
It is claimed that Mr. Bryan and ex-
Gov. Altgeld carried Nebraska 011 the
anti-expansion issue and on general op
position to the president's policy. Such
seems not to be the fact. Altgeld de
clared in his first speech-that he was
not, opposed to expansion, but was op
posed to an increase of the regular
army and the alarming growth of mili
tarism under the president. In Ne
braska there are. many voters who came
to this country to escape military serv
ice. Many of them do not read English,
so the literature setting forth the dan
gers of militarism and the speeches as
sailing the increase of the army and the
use of the military power were a real
terror to them. On t-he other hand the
republicans of Nebraska, did not lave
speakers nor the means to refute the
fallacies of Mr. Bryan and liisfriends.
The expressions of the anti-imperial
ist. press in the east, with one or two ex
ceptions, are to the effect that the op
position to the president's policy did
not make itself apparent in the elec
tions. The New York World, one of the
extremest and most inveterate organs
of the anti-imperialists, ronfessps that
"the elections mean a victory for im
perialism in a majority of the states vot
ing," adding t hat "there is neither hon
esty nor profit in denying this." The
New York Post, the ablest and most
strenuous opponent of the president's
policy, expresses itself as follows:
"Although nofederal officials wire chosen
yesterd iv, ■ xc< i>t in four eongn ssionai dis
tricts to till the vacancies in the house of
representatives, a national aspect was
Kiven to the campaign in so many states
that the result may be accepted as a ver
dict of the country on the-McKinley admin
istration, and esj'i dally on its policy of ex
pansion. The judgment of the people was
so clearly expressed that no room is left
for doubt as to the attitude of the nation."
1 112 the voters in the states which spoke
by their ballots did not render a ver
dict in favor of the president's policy,
as declared by the New York Evening
Post, they have seriously refused to re
gard the bugaboo of imperialism.—lndi

A VICTORY FOR LABOR.
The Wnrliliiisnien of Olilo Vote for
Km pi oynie lit mil! Pros
perity.
The laboring men of Ohio carried the
election in t hat state for protection and
the gold standard. Ohio is one of the
principal manufacturing states, and it
was that industry that saved Ohio to
the republicans, in spite of the large
number of republicans who voted lor
"Golden Rule" Jones, who was merely
a candidate in John K. McLean** inter
est, as Jones' interviews since the elec
tion fully prove. McLean had and has
barrels of money, and he was willing to
pour it out wherever he thought that
it would servo his political ambition,
liis income is said to be about SI,OOO per
year, largely from trusts, and his house
hold and family expenses not less than
SIOO,OOO annually. That is the sort of
a man t lie democrats of Ohio selected as
their standard bearer this year, and he
was selected solely because the demo
cratic leaders in that state thought he
had sutlicieiit money to buy the govern
orship! l!ut they misjudged thC indus
trious laboring' men of the liuckeye
slate, all of whom now have the oppor
tunity to work over time, in contrast to
the majority of them being unable to
find regular employment during the
free silver and free trade hard times.
It is said that there is not now an idle;
mill in Ohio, and that nearly all of them
are working over time, and that many
of them are working two sets of men
each day and night. President McKin
ley opened the mills, the opening of the
mills opened the mints, and never be
| fore has there been such an unsuppiicd
demand for laboring men in the tac
tories of the United States. The labor
ing men of Ohio won the. great victory
in t ha t stale for labor and busine - *, and
they will make their victory still more
overwhelming in ]!K)0. for ihey are fully
convinced that republican nil.* is abso

Washington, Nov. 25. —A split has
occurred in the organization of the
Spanish war veterans and a rival body
was formed Friday to be known as the
(Spanish-American War Veterans. Last
week the original organization held a
meeting in thin city and perfected its
constitution and by-laws and at, that
time there were rumors' of an impend
ing split, but nothing was made pub
lic officially about it. Yesterday's
meeting was held in response to an
urgent call of Adjt-. Gen. Liller, who
»ives the following as the reason for
ihe split:
"General dissatisfaction —find an at
tempt to place the organization in the
hands of the Ohio representatives,
making it appear as a move for politi
cal purposes, and Ihe recent action of
the committee who were in the mi
nority assuming the privilege of elim
inating and vacating oflices created by
the national convention; making sev
eral appointive officers, and a move to
control the association generally and
remove the headquarters to Ohio.
Those who were present Friday are
men who have made national reputa
tions and are here to make the asso
ciation a success and not use it for
selfish motives."
The new organization makes all
those who served in the regular or
volunteer army, navy or marine corps
during the Spanish-American war and
these who are now serving in the
present Philippine war eligible to
membership, provided they can show
111 honorable discharge. A constitu
tion and by-laws were adopted and
the units of organization are to be
local camps, departments and a na
tional association. A resolution was
adopted declaring it to be the sense
if the body that Admiral George l)ew
sy be placed at its head and authoriz
ing the adjutant general to convey to
the admiral the information of his
unanimous selection as commander-in
■bief.

Fall Uiver, Mass., Nov. 25.—Itepre
senstatives of the textile council and a

agreement yesterday which will, when
finally adopted by operatives and em

to take up in good faith the consider
ation of a sliding scale of wages which

New York, Nov. 25. —William K.
Miller, head of the Franklin syndi
cate which lias accepted ol'<? «ln;>fJriitss
of thousands of persons in Brooklyn
under promise of paying dividend* ut
10 per cent., a week, or 520 per cent per
annum, and Cecil Leslie, tiis secretary,
were indicted by the Kings county
grand jury yesterday. Bench war
rants were issued for the arrest of
these two men, but. up to quite a late
hour last night neither had been
found, the police saying they had dis
appeared in the afternoon.
Last night, the police raided the
premises occupied by the Franklin
syndicate 011 Floyd street. There
was a great crowd of people around
the building and the police surround
ed it. Inspector Brennan arrested
Louis Miller, brother of tlie head of
the syndicate, and the cashic • of the
concern and took possession of SII.'JOO
in cash. There were 40 employes at
work in tin- odices and these were al
lowed to go. Tt was stated by Louis
Miller to the police that the oflices
were then in the hands of ex-Sheriff
Daly, of Richmond, to whom he said,
the concern had assigned.
The charge upon which Mill was
indicted was that of conspiring to de
fraud.
The district, attorney's office in
Brooklyn has been at work 011 the
ease, for some weeks, so prominent
have become Miller's opera* ions in
that time. Miller had been engaged
for the past two years or so in offer
ing his glittering inducements to the
people to invest their money for l.im
to make use of, but it has been only
within the last month that by ex
tensive advertising lie managed t j at
tract to his office hundreds of people
daily, who gathered in a long liri" or
fought with each other for the chance
to hand out their savings. liven
when the place was raided last night
a number of those around the offices
were waiting to deposit money, with
the Franklin syndicate.
The presence of the police caused
great excitement. When thev entered
the office they were informed that at
(i p. m.the concern had made an
assignment in the borough of Man
hattan to James Daly, ex-sheriff of
Richmond. Chief of Detectives Uoyn
olds said the police were the assignees
naw and put Daly off the premises.
Daly lias been in the employ of Miller
for some timt*. Of the $15,000 taken
possession of by the ponce, something
more than $5,000 in cash was found in
the syndicate offices.
From the record which the police
had made on Friday's deposits, it was
evident that a portion of tin; money
had been removed from tie* otiiees,
and Louis Miller, the cashier, wh > was
arrested, was called upon to mnk * ail
explanation. He at first refused, but
on being threatened by the police lie
said Miss Annie (lory, an employe of
the concern, who lived in a house ad
joining the offices, had been given pos
session of a large sum of money in
the morning by the head of the firm.
The police went to the adjoining
house, where they placed Miss Gory
under arrest, and after a search they
found nearly $9,000 concealed in an
old lounge in her apartments.
The woman then declared that she
had this money in her possession to
pay the employes of the syndicate.
The police, however, took possession
of the money and gave Miss Gory her
liberty.
William F. Miller began the Frank
lin syndicate in a small way, locating
his office among the poorer classes in
Brooklyn and making one feature of
his business the acceptance of very
small sums of money and the alleged
investment of them for poor people,
lie claimed that by inside tips on the
stock market he was able to pay a
large percentage to his clients. He
paid the interest on the principal each"
week and his business increased. It
is claimed that Miller was simply the
representative of a syndicate which
had been conducting blind pools for
years.
No syndicate has ever attempted to
pay any such wonderful rates of in
terest as the Franklin syndicate. The
very fact that the newspapers and
financiers began to make investiga
tions aroused the public ii terest to
such an extent that it is said within
the last week Miller has received de
posits of hundreds of people, aggre
gating a daily amount of from $30,000
to $40,000.
Not only were people living within
the limits of New York large depos
itors with the Franklin syndicate, but
cities all over the country contribut
ed the earnings of scores of their resi
dents to swell the wealth of the syndi
cate. Tne mail delivery tit Miller's
office amounted to about three wagon
loads and most of the letters contained
money.
It is an absolute fact Miller did not
have facilities for takinr care of all
of the gold and greenbacks whie.i
poured in upon him. and empty bar
rels were rougbt. up from the base
ment of the building and thousands of
dollars were dumped into the.-,e bar
rels by the clerks emplovd by Miller.
No evidence is forthcoming to show
that Miller ever speculated in stocks.

Winter in the South.
The season approaches when one'a
thoughts turn toward a place where the in
conveniences of a Northern winter may he
escaped. No section of this country oilers
such ideal spots as the (Julf Coast on the
line of tlic Louisville & Nashville Railroad
between .Mobile and New Orleans. It pos
sesses a mild climate, pure air, even temper
ature and facilities for hunting and fishing
enjoyed by no other section. Accommoda
tions for visitors are lii>t-class, and can l»j
secured at moderate prices. The L. & N.
R. It. is the only line by which it can be
reached in through cars from Northern
cities. Through car schedules to all points
in Florida by this line are also perfect.

THE FOOD DRINK.
Grain-O is not a stimu
lant, like coffee. It is a
tonic and its effects are
permanent.
A successful substitute
for coffee, because it has
the coffee flavor that al
most everybody likes.
Lots of coffee substi
tutes in the market, but
only one food drink—
Grain-O.
