THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. C. WNK, EDITON 4 Proprietor WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, lt9!. Vice President llubart Dead. Vice President Garret A. Hobart passed peacefully away at bis home in Patterson N. J., last evening at 8:30 o'clock, after a long and painful illness of Bright's dis ease. Tbe who'io Nation mourns the death of this noble man. TnK people of this country are not dis posed to exchange prosperity for some political nostrum caid to bo better. Bryan carried Nebraska by about the same majority as in 1S!H, but there is a different fetory from South Dakota, Kan sas and Kentucky. Rhode Island opens the State eleo tions of 1900 in April. It will be the next Democratic chance to put salt on the tail of that elusive "reaction." Germany's demand for American ap ples is the largest in Europe. England stands next and neither country can got all that it wants of the splendid fruit. Thk United States has become a billion dollar country in its supply of gold. Next year's campaign will not hinge on humbug about a defective gold supply. Notrino in the election returns indi cates that sound money Democrats have applied for the suits of sackcloth and ash es Bryan promised them three years ago. Edward Atkinson says that expan sion stands condemned in the President's own Stato. That sounds like one of Agui naldo's bulletins to his bow-and arrow men. An enterprising statistican has com piled a map of the conn'ry showing where tho various centers as of popula tion, manufacturing industry, agricul tural output and the Hke-are located. The conter of population Is now in Indi an a, of agricultural output in Iowa and of manufactures in Northwestern Penn sylvania. At a meeting of tbe President and his cabinet on Saturday last it was decided to establish the domestic rate of postage in the PhiMppiues, tbe same as has alrea !y boen done in Cuba and Pono Rico, and tho order for the new rate was issued on Saturday. Hawaii is the only one of our new possessions now without the domes tic rale of postage, and as that country is not under military rule, the President must leave that matter to Congress. Admiral Dewey says the report of the Philippinos commission is "an absolutely tmtlifnl representation of all that has happened and of the existing situation." Carl Schurz says it is contradictory and inconsistent. Dewey was in the Philip pines for a year. Schurz has never been there. But this is immaterial to Schurz. He s-t himself up to be infinitely wiser than Lincoln and considers Dewey mere ly an infant in brain power compared w ith himself. Tiierk is no shrewder political prophet in tho United Statos than Col. McClune, the great editorof the Philadelphia Times, and when he has figured out the cause and effectofa moveou the political check cr board ifs figured, that's all. He makes the claim that Senator Mark Hanna car riod Nebraska f r Bryan, so as to make sure that the great free silver prophet would again be the candidates of the Democrats for president next fall,against McKinley, who will lead the Republican ticket once more to victory. American capital is being rapidly in vested in the islands which have of late come under the control of the United States Government. The business men of the country realize that we have to B-nd abroad $250,000,0 JO a. vearor tropical products and think they might as well get their share ol the profits frem the production of these artieles, every dollar's worth of which ean be grown in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, and thus keep this vast sum of money within our own borders instead of dis tributing it to tbe outside world every year. 8 m Jones, the picturesque oxortcr.oo caHionally stops his talk on religion long enough to speak a littlo on worldly af fairs. A few days a;;o he was preaching in a town in Georgia and, dipping into politics, got off the following: "The big gest fool in the world is the one who stands up and argues against ta ts. I was talking to one of those old free silver loons a low day ago and called his atten tion to the great prosperity which has come upon our country, mills and shops and mines running on good time, and I said truly prosperity has come to our land again. lie said: 'It ain't struck me yet.'- I said, It's mighty hard to hit nothing " Peopi.k who are loosing sleep over the frequently repeated suggestions that Eng land's experiences in India prove that a large standing arm v will be required in tbe Philippines should diyide the stand liu. army of India into the population and then see how it fits conditions io tho Philippines. The standing army of In dia consist of 225,000 men, of which one third aro Europeans and two-tbirds na tives. The population of India is 300, 000,000; that of the Philippines 8,000,000. Make the calculation and you will find that at tbe same ratio we should have to keep in the Philippines 2,000 American and 4,000 native troops. The old soldinrs of the war of 1801-5 havo no patience with the performance of the fault-fiudors in the so-called Demo crasio party of to-day. General Dan Mickles, who was in Washington the other day, said : "I have always been a Democrat and always expect to be one, but Biyanism is linMhe faith of the old-time leaders of the 4iarty. I would scorn myself were I to pretend to endorse such principles as were embodied in the Chicago platform, which has already made shipwreck of the Democratic party; and if put lorward again, the verdict against it will be more overwhelmingly crushing than iu 1S90." A Look Oier luu The political sentiment of the United States at this time is decisively Republi can. Auy one can go over the list of statos and see that the Republicans bold more than in IS!6. Three general elec tions have taken place since that year and the net result is a strengthened Re publican position. The four states gained are Kansas, Washington, South Dakota and Wyoming. Kentucky, which divid ed its electoral vote in lSlht, is more strongly Republican now than it was then. The single State regained by the Democrats is Maryland, and this was managed only by a platform silent on silver and the rest of the Chicago plat form. Compared with 1896 the Republi can gain of electoral votes is twf nty-two the loss eight. This change would make the electoral college stand Republican, 2S5, Democratic, 102. It is as close an esti mate in a tual figures as can be made. These are accomplished facts. Through three so-calcd tr years the opposition has done its utmost to turn the political tide. But it runs more powerful than ever. The Dt mocratio party itself has crum bled in attempting to develop a weak spot in Republican lines. One new national issue, expansion, was tested in the twelve states that voted on the 7Ui inst. It was emphatically ap proved. Massachusetts, tho home of At kinson, Garrison, Boutwell, Hoar and a bitter anti-expansion league, piled up an immense Republican majority. New York Republicans Increased IheirRoose velt majority and gained twelvo mem bers in tho legislature. New Jersey shows decidedly Republican gains in both tho popular vote and the legislature. McLean is astonished by tho 50,000 plu rality against him in Ohio. The Repub licans of Kentucky were united and won a brilliant victory. Iowa increased its majority. South Dakotn.where the Pres ident recently made some of his strong est nxpansion speeches, and where Sena tor Pettigrew has been untiring on the other side, changed from a fusion majori ty last year to a phenomenal Republican majority of 8,000 or 10,000. McLean and other Democratic managers counted on a German revolt on expansion. It is invis ible in the returns, in Ohio, Iowa, Now York or any whore else. There are many thousand Germans in Buffalo and Louis- villo, and both cities went Democratic last year. This year they give large Re publican majorities. Mr. Bryan saved his state and it is evi dent that there aro somo Republicans in Nebraska who do not care to lessen his o .nspicnity In the Democratic party. Bryan has a strong popularity and per haps will serve tbe Democratic purpose next year as well as any man could in the preseut confused condition of the party. He will be defeated, but so will any other Democrat. To drop him would cost tho Democrats their chance in Ne- brrska, Colorado and two or three small western States. He can cnunt on tbe South as confidently as any other. He will lose Man land unless he renounces free silver and that would stultify him to such a degree that he would be a laugh ing stock. His position against expan sion is already condemned. As for trusts, he will find no exclusive fighting ground. In fact, he has no objections to them if they take the shape ot his friends McLean and Wetmore. All that the Democraeie party can do is to hope that an issue will turn up before the meeting of their national convention. In all prob ability they have their candidate, and he is a teateu man on the face of circum stances. Globe-Democrat. Surtrisinq gains were made by tbe Republicans in all parts of Colorado. The Democrats won victories in only two important places, Denver and Cripple Creek, and they merely held their own It looks as though the Stato will fall into the McKinley column next year. The Silver Republicans and Populists are fast disappearing. A bod . the last of the industries to re cover from the depression caused by low tariff and Democratic rule is that of wool en manufactures. Tbe enormous impor tations of woolen goods under the Wil son low tariff paralyzed the manufactures of woolen goods within tho United States, and it is only during the last few months that they have lully recovered from tbe depression due to the enormous tock in ths 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. Demand for American wool is increasing, and the last of American industries to feci the ef fect of Republican protection is grateful ly acknowledging its benefits. Secretary Gage's proposition to re deem ?25,00O,0OO worth of the outstand ing boniis of tho United States not yet due, the purpose being to put into circu lation a part of the surplus now in tbe Treasury, will probably bring the total money in circulation in tbe United States to tbe two billion dollar line. The total money in circulation on Nov. 1st was $1,003,716,148, and the great excess of ex ports over imports is constantly bringing mancy into the country from abroad, so that it seems almost csrtain that tbe two billion dollar line in our circulation will be reached veiy soon, thus increasing the total circulation 33 per cent, since tli nomination of Bryan and all this witbont tho free and unlimited coinage of silver, Maj. John A. Logan's death while leading his battallion in action ends tbe direct male line of a heroic family. Gen Logan went through a storm of shot and shell for years, but survived to servo his country in civil life. His horse was shot under him at Fort Henry and he was se verely wounded at Fort Doiieison. He always led bis men, and no one who saw him in bat'lo can forget the spectacle. Maj. Logan lias fallen in his first fight in the Philippine. Tho supremo sacrifice of the patriot has como to him and the sympathy of the country goes forth to the family and bis distinguished mother The mime of Logan, father and son, will have a prominent place in the history of tho American volunteer, who has never yet failed to. carry the flag where bis country asked him to plant it.

Sho came with her parents from the above named place, about four years ago, located in Liberty Town, afterward moved to Portago.O., here her life eud ed in grap luig with that dreaded disease, consumption. MarUiy sought and found her Savior about two y ars ago, in a re vival meeting held by Revs. Shelter and Abnr, after wbicli she united with the United Brethren, it being the church of her choice, to which she remained faith ful until sho was called home. She fre quently expressed herself i s to her long ing to be with bet- Savior. Be ore her departure she called the family to her bedside and asked them all to meet her in Heaven, which they promised to do. Funeral services were held in the t. B church, at Portage, O., Sunday at 2 o'clock, which was la gely attended. The sermon was delivered by her pastor, Rev. J. Sehrller, from the text, "Hor sun is gone down while it is yet day," Jer. 13:9, after which her remains were taken to the Sargent cemetery, for interment. There were loft to monrn, a father, moth er, two brothers, four bisters and many friends, but not as those who have no hope.
