EDITORIAL riENTION. A Brvan and Sulzer ticket would be able to talk at both ends almost incessantly. Naturally, the Democratic don key will resent the advent of the automobile. Following his well-established system of political rotation the Hon. Carl Schurz will support Mr. Bryan this year. The Democratic leaders should not place much confidence in the ability of the walking delegates to maintain strikes. There is not enough in the, \ an Wyck Presidential boom to justify its promoters paying the transpor tation charges to Kansas City. The person who contributes to the contentment between capital and labor does more for humanity than a whole army of talking poli ticians. The Hon. Arthur Sewall desires it to be distinctly understood that he will not act as bag-holder 011 any more political snipe hunting expeditions. I'he I'nited States cannot prop erly market her surplus products as long as foreign vessel owners lix the rates of transportation. In order to be secure the Ken tucky Democrats should institute criminal proceedings against every body who persists in voting the op position ticket. One lone man held up an entire train in the suberbs of Omaha the other day. This seems to be the fashion in Nebraska. The entire Democratic party is being held up by a lone Nebraska man. It is said that Mr. Bryan will not make any speeches in Ken tucky this year. It will be recalled that Mr. Bryan cooperated with the Kentucky Democrats last year. When American products are carried to all parts of the world in American bottoms the politicians who are opposing progress will be made to see their mistake. Bishop Potter willingly and man fully acknowledges he was wrong in his opposition to expansion. The opinion of tho man who has the courage to admit his errors is much more valuable than that of the person who stubbornly sticks to a mistake. The Hon. JamesK. Jones, chair man of tin; Democratic national committee, declares that he is no longer connected with the round bale trust. Like the Hon. Mose Whetmore, Chairman Jones secur ed the right to denounce trusts by selling out to one at a handsome profit. " What Lincoln was to his coun try 111 his day, McKinley is to the country to-day; and the nation which expressed its endorsement of Lincoln by re-electing him to the Presidency, will set a similar ii .a k of approbation on the latest of his bo says " American Commerce and Industries," the organ of the com mercial travelers of the Unite*] States. Farm Animal Values. Farmers have not yet forgotten how the value of their live stocik depreciated when Grover Cleveland was President, the loss being more than $800,000,000 during his last term of office. It will interest them now to study how they ad vanced again under the McKinlev Administration. The following table gives the official figures of the Department of Agriculture: January 1. Value.

I'nder President Harrison, in the two years from January 1. ISOI, to January 1, 189:}, the value of all live stock on American farms in- creased by §154,000,000. During the four following years, ; under President Cleveland, the j fanners lost upwards of 000 through the smaller market j value of their livestock. But under McKinley prosperity ] the farmers have again benefited, j Placing the market value ol all American hogs on the farms, at the i beginning of this year, only on the j same basis as on January 1, 1S!)9, then the Department of Agricul ture's figures show a total gain of 8557,000,000 in the value of all farm animals during the three years that William .McKinlev has been President. Here are the facts; Harrison Gain §154,000,000 Cleveland Loss §820,000,000 McKinley Gain, three year5,§557,000,000 Always The Same. Mr. Sibley told the following story to illustrate the recurrence of the anti-expansion argument, re produced on every occasion when an extension of territory has been under consideration since the founding of the Republic: "It seems to me that you gentle men are in the position of an old man who lived up in my country at the time they built the Alle gheny Valley Railroad. lie had same flat land in the valley where they wanted to build the road. He was opposed to railroads, never having seen one of them. I'nder the right of eminent domain they built thi' road, and, after it was built, he and his wife concluded they would go over and see the train pass by. They got on the top of a hill; as a long freight train ! came around the curve and swept down the valley they watched it until it went out of sight; and then she turned to him and said. ''Well Josiah, it didn't do no harm." He said. "Maria, that is all right; this time it went endwise, but the next time she may come sidewise, and there won't be a crop left in the whole of wiregrass region." You people are afraid that the next time it is going to come sidewise, but it is going to come endwise, just as it always has done. —From a speech of Hon. J. C. Sibley, House of Representatives.
