Amkiik-am wagos are the wonder or the rest of the world, and it is the policy of tho Republican party to keep them at the top. Axn yet no Democratic editor has sno ceodod in explaining how Uncle Sam can have a "secret alliance" with Russia and England at the same time. Bryan is KtiU quoting from Lincoln, but can ho find an extract anywhere showing that the Democratic party ever said a good word for Lincoln while he was alive? Mr. Bryan insists that the present prosperity in this country is only tempo rary. Mr. Bryan cannot set the idea out of his head that ho is to be elected Presi dent. . Wiikn tho Doniocratic platform opened a fire in tho rear of the (50,000 brave Americans in tho Philippines it lost sev eral times that many Democratic votes. Undo Sam's lighters hare a host of friends in that party and they will bo heard from on election day. Till! great tidal wave by which tho city of Cinh'oston, Texas, was almost com pletely submorged is one of tho greatest disasters this country has ever witnessed, equalling almost the great Johnstown calamity. A good account of the awful affair is contained in our telegraphic re ports to-day. Ukuk is the way a Buffalo police court judge received a man who appeared as complainant in his court rosplendent in liu'ht colored shirtwaist and russet belt, coatless: "I suppose you are one of thoso shirt waist men. You can't appear iu this court in rig like that. Go and vet your coat on." Thk Philadelphia Record snys: "When the people of Philadelphia were com plaining of tho temperature of thoir hot test day (August 11) they did not know thut at Seville, in Spain, the thermome ter registered 117 degrees iu the shado and 131.8 degrees in the sun. On that day in Suvillo thousands of birds fell dead in the streets. No citi.kn should fail to read Presi dent McKinloy's letter of acceptance, the text of which is givon on tho first pago of tho Rkpthlican to-day. It is a messago to the patriotic people of the United Slates that w ill go down in history as ono of tho ablest ever written by any public, man, appealing to tho loyalty, patriotism and honor of tho citizens of tho grandest nation ou earth. Read it. Mr. Bryn said at Zancsvillo, O., yes terday that "The party stands whoie it did in lMHi on tho money question, but it believes that the form of government is more important than the kind of monoj-, and imperialism attacks the prin ciples of government." If the Demo cratic party stands just where it did on silver why so much shuflliug and apol ogy T Tho free coinago orators stood on every curbstono in 1SW5, but they are not there now. Jkkferson wrote to his successor, Madison, urging the acquisition of the Island of Cuba and in tiie same letter made uso of words that put him without the p de of the new democracy as inter preted by Bryan, for he wrote, "I am persuaded no constitution was ever so voll ealenlatod as ours for extensive em piro and self-government." He never doubted for a moment tho constitutional power of tho government to acquire ei ther insular or continental torritory. Senato it Vjtsx has a story ho some times tolls to illustrato Arkansas char acter of tho Bourbon mossback type. According to tho narrative the Senator, iu the days following the civil war, was on a wild country road which had been blocked by a hugh tree. The na tives wers trying to drag it out or the way as a whole when Sonator Vest ar rived ou the scone, lookod on tho tree and at the helpless crowd of Arkansas natives, and thou said : "Why don't you cut the tree in two in the middle and Imul the ends out of the way ?" There was a mo mont of silence, broko suddenly by ono of the crowd, who reached for his gun and exclaimed : "Yankee, by gum!" Maine's Great Republican Majority. The Stato of Maino follows Vermont iu the piling up of big Republican ma jorities. Tim Stato election took place there on Monday and resulted iu a vic tory or tho Republican ticket second on ly to Hint ol lour years ao ; tho majority being nearly ss.um. Hon J. II. Mauley, chairman ol Hie Republican Slate com mittee, sent tho following dispatch to Hon. M. A. liaiina late Monday night: "Maine stands by the splendid admin isiration of William McKinley. The voters of the Pino Tree Slate know when they posso-uta good thing and are deler tninrd to retain it. They Imvo given to day the largest Republican majority ever given in the history of the Suite to any par ty, Willi IheKiiiKlo exception of Tour years ago, when our opponents wero complete ly paralyzed and threw the smallest volo they ever cast in a Presidential ycarsinco PI'i. Tho Ucptiblicanx, against a deter mined and united Democracy, have car ried lo day every county savo ono in the State, electing more than l'iO out of the 1H members of the Legislature, which wilt return to the United States Senate Hon. W. P. Erye. Wo liavo re-elected our delegation to emigres bv majorities rallying In, in 7 to 1'i.iino. We have car ried the State hv 31, nun iuiioritv out of a total vottj of 1 lO.inio. Yoi'Nu Cornelius VauJcrbilt was delegate in the Republican State Conven tion held in Saratoga, N. Y., this week He is the lirst one in the multi-million aire family who has ever dabbled in pol itics and he evidently enjoys the busi ness. He is ouly L" years old but has al ready an itching to represent the swell district of New York City in Congress. A dispatch from Saratoga says: "He did many strange things for a Yauderbilt to do, saw and talked with many strauge persona, with whom he had never been brought in contact before, mingled in democratic fashion with old and astute Republican warriors, and ventured a few discrete confidences to the younger and less scasoued. O.xk .nay be a little surprised at the conlidenoo displayed by intelligent men everywhere regarding the probable sue cess of the Republicans this fall. It is to be regretted that this confidence lends to apathy, but intelligent people cannot conceive how business men, laboring incu, laimers, mechanics, and in Net all citizens who are enjoying such a full measure of prosperity can vote to over turn that piosperity. And hile this is inconceivable, it cannot be impressed too often upon the minds of those very per sons who aro enjoying the prosperity which is the fruit of Republican rule, that they must see to it in the November elclious that their votes are cast and counted in on'.or to continue tho blessing which are now being enjoyed. Bryau Don't Want Tour Vote. 'If there is anv one who believes tho gold standard is a good thing, or that it must be maintained, I warn him not to cast his vote for me, becnuso I promiso him it will not ho maintained in this country longer than I am able to get rid of it."' This languago was used by Hon. Wil liam Jennings Bryan in a speech at Knoxville, Teun.,on Sept. 1(1, lSOti. You will notice that Mr. Bryan does not want the vote of "any ono who believes the gold standard is a good thing." Can any one believe othorwiso aftor witnossing our sound business and financial pros perity sinco the gold standard law bas been enacted t Mr. Bryan made a "prom ise" to the American voters that the gold standard law "will not be maintained in this country longer than I am (he is) able to get rid ol it." The olectiou of Mr.Bry hii to the presidency would, theroloro, be immediately followed by attacks upon the financial integrity of tho United States and of every individual citizen. Tho result would be a repetition of the business panic and disaster that we ex perienced during tho last Democratic ad ministration. Tammany for Hrjan. Croker has spoken and Tammany is out for Rryan for President. The event inspires one of the free-silver journals of New York City to remark : This is to be a signal to the whole country that the reform forces of the Nation have ben soliditied and that Mc Kiuleyisui must now face a united Dem ocratic party. It means that tho attempt to re-elect President Mckinley w'lll be practically hopeless. Now York State is lost to tho Republican party. Well, we shall see about that. It is very true that tho Tammany office hold ers care nothing about the country's con ditions. Free silver or gold, Free Trade or Protection, expansion or tho giving up of territory, it is all the same to thorn. They aro not expected to thiiiK. But Tammany isn't New York State, and thoro ought to bo enough voters out side of Tammany, yoters who do think, to carry the State for McKinley. Once before, when the country was prosper ous, the Dem x-ratic party captured it, and confusion, panic and bankruptcy fol lowed. That lesson, fancy, is enough. We do not believe that prosperity will take any chance this year. J7n7'. Inquirer. Self Respect. Perhaps tho greatest virtue that a young man can acquire is that of self-respect, for it is really the sum of all virtues, writes the self-respecting editor of the Punxy Spirit. To thoroughly respect yourself you must keen voursolf above. sol f-reproach. Your conduct must be cican, ami your soul without taint.
