Washimctow, D. c., Dec. IS,
Nkws-cmbosiclk :
McKinley isn't satisfied with
bossing congress; he intends to
boss the whole republican shoot-
ing match. He has soured on
Boss Piatt's little scheme of mak
ing «Teddy Roosevelt the vice-
presidential candidate« and took
'occasion to tell the republican na-
tional committee, which met here
Friday to choose time and place
for the next republican national
convention, that Secretary Root
would be nominated on his ticket.
Boss Piatt tries to make it appear
that he means it when he says
that Root's nomination will be en-
tirely satisfactory to him. Now
that the president's wishes have
become known, the thick and thin
worshipers at McKinley's shrine
are falling into line and tbe Root
boom is growing accordingly.

Senator Allen, who has been
appointed by the governor of Ne-
braska to fill the vacancy left by
the death of the late Senator Hay-
ward, will be warmly welcomed
as a staunch and valuable recruit
to tbe ranks of the anti-gold stand-
ard senators, who are preparing
for a long and hard fight in the
senate against tbe gold standard
bill which McKinley has found so
easy to jam through tbe house.

The republican speeches in the
house tbis week have contained
lots of gush about «republican
prosperity and «sound money,
but very little praise of any por-
tion of the gold standard bill,
which will, if it becomes a law,
put the control of the finances of
the country into the hands of the
bankers, enabling them to con-
tract or expand at will tbe amount
of money in circulation.
I I t
Representative Cochran (Mis-
souri), in an able speech against
tbe McKinley gold standard bill,
presented figures showing that
there is not enough gold in the
world to do the business of the
world, and declared that the im-
portation of gold to pay for the
surplus crops exported to supply
the failure of crops abroad had
quickened trade and produced
the prosperity of which the re-
publicans boasted, and warned
tbe republicans that when the
stock of gold declined, as he be-
lieved it was bound to do, the
prosperity of today would crum-
ble like a house of cards. Rep-
resentative Sims (Tennesseein
his speech against tbe gold bill,
called attention to a very impor-
tant fact—that while wages did
not average more than 10 per cent
above the panic level, the price of
manufactured goods bad increas-
ed 100 per cent.

Senator Pettigrew's resolution
calling upon the secretary of the
navy to inform the senate wheth-
er the flag of the Philippine re-
public was carried by vessels in
Manila bay and saluted by Admi-
ral Dewey or any of the vessels
of his squadron at any time since
May 1,1898, and whether a vessel
flying the Philippine flag accom-
panied the United States cruisers
Concord and Raleigh toSubig bay
in June, 18'>8, to aid in compelling
the Spanish force to surrender,
asks for legitimate information
and should be adopted. If these
reports are false, the administra-
tion ought to be glad of the oppor-
tunity to officially say so, but no
such gladness is manifested. On
tbe contrary, tbe resolution in to
be smothered, not answered.

Some of the members of the
house committee which is inves-
tigating the charges against Rob-
erts are themselves charged with
being more anxious to get a free
trip to Utah and back, with all ex-
penses paid, than to complete the
investigation and make a report.
There seems very little probabil-
ity that the report will be made
to the house before tbe Christmas
recess.

It is no new thing to charge the
United States senate with being
an extravagant body, but the
itemized cost of the furnishings
bought for the vice-president's
room in the capítol show that it
is growing more extravagant all
tbe time. Here are some of tbe
items: Imported carpet $465, an-
tique desk $325, mahogany tables
$150, sofa $130, two rugs $212,
two pairs of lace curtains $300,
velvet portiere $170 and a solid
silver inkstand $1000.

The democrats intend pushing
trust legislation at this session of
congress. Senator Morgan (Ala-
bama) has introduced an anti-
trust joint resolution which he
says he intends forcing to a vote
if it possibly can be done, and
Senator Chilton says the same
about the anti-trust bill he ha«
introduced.

A correspondent of the Mexico,
Mo., Message pays this deserved
compliment to the country press:
«It mmii to me if the people could
realise that the country newspaper, in
every county in America where there
ii a newspaper, is the nursery of free
thought and free speech, they certain-
ly would rally to their support more
than they have done in the past. They
certainly would find too that their sub-
scriptions would be a paying invent*
ment to them. So allow me to say
that if the people value the profita oí
their labor, in the preseut and in the
future, they must stand by their coun-
try papers.
Jefferson said that be would
rather have newspapers without
a government than a government
without newspapers. And he was
right. Politicians may pay many
insincere compliments to the
«palladium of a free press, but
the most extravagant expressions
in that line have never surpassed
the truth. Say what you will, the
country press is the palladium of
the people's liberty. As a rule
the country editor is a hero and a
patriot. He is close to the peo-
ple—tbe great throbbing heart of
honest humanity and he absorbs
the spirit of independence and
untrammelled manhood that al-
ways actuates the masses. In
every community there are peo-
ple enough to support him and in-
sure him a living in the expres-
sion of his honest sentiments,and
a living is all be cares for. When
times are hard he prepare* his
own copy and sets his own type,
and makes his columns red-hot
with genuine Americanism, feel-
ing sure that his farmer friends
and their wives will never let him
go hungry. The country editor
cannot be driven into subservien-
cy by a threat t<> boycott Ins ad-
vertising. The sheriff i usualh

now going on between the people
