McKinley is the only private soldier who has been elected to the Presidency, or seriously thought of for that posi- tion. The only other man'who served as a private in the ranks of the army who has been prominently discussed as a Presidential candidate was William R. Morrison. of Illinois. McKinley enlisted as a private in the -ranks of the Twenty-third Ohio Regi- ment, of which General Rosecrans was colonel. R. B. Hayes, who afterwards became President. and Stanley Mat- thews, who died as Judge of the Sn- preme Court of the Mnited States. were field officers. McKinley rose to the rank of captain during the war, and retired with the brevet of maj )r for special gallantry at Fisher’s Hill and Cedar Creek. It is an eloquent commentary on the beneficence of the greatest of free gov- ernments that a private soldier in the ranks of the army can win his way to the highest civil trust of the world, and ‘by the largest majority ever given to a Presidential candidate. F‘_-.—_'1?'.>—»—~:3‘52T:7;;9 Democrats Demand Nit. Nearly every Democrat who bore a conspicuous part in the campaign for sound money has taken occasion to pro- test against the assumption that the sound money Democrats wanted offices or expected any “recognition” of that kind. The idea that the men who joined to defeat Bryanism are to be permanently attached to the new ad- ministration by the appointment ofa few Democrats to office shows an almost ludicrous lack of understanding of their motives. If the new administration is loyal to the principles that commanded this support, it will still command it, upon all the essential issues of the past campaign. On any more party policy that subordinates these issues, it has no reason to expect Democratic support and would only weaken itself in mak- ing trivial bids fer it. The situation is not at all the same as that when Cleveland came into office. Most of the Republicans who supported him had left their old party and at- tached themselves to the party of which he was the leader. But the Cleveland Democrats who have helped to elect McKinley did so as Democrats, though as Americans first, and it rests with the new administration to hold or repel them, not by offices, but by a broadly patriotic policy. Give Commerce a Chance. The report of the Commission of Navigtticn once more urges upon Congress the relief of American ship- ping from the legislative burdens that have all but drive: our flag from the the seas. . Of the imports into this country last gear, ninety-four per cent. were carried in foreign vessels. We have almost ceased to compete in the Atlantic carrying trade and we are now giving up the Pacific. Even Japan has already a greater tonnage of modern steamers'there than the United States. I There was a time, within the memory of men now living, when the United S ates owned one-third of the entire tonnage of the world, when the Ameri- can clipper-ship was queen of the seas and we not oly controlled our own commerce, but built ships to sell to other nations. How did we come to lose this advantage? Simply because we were-not awake to the change that was wll'ought by steam and iron. The civil war swept away our wood- en flset, and then we came to realize that the iron steamer had supplanted the clipper-ship, and that England had got the start of us. So there was noth- ing left but to haul down the flag and pay the English, French and Germans ‘ to do our carrying trade for us. The navigation laws of the United States date back to the last century. They did no harm then because they did not hamper the extention of Our commerce under the old condition. But they make it impossible for Ameri- cans either to. build or to buy modern l vessels, and the only American ocean line of importance that has been est 1b- lished, was made possible by the partial abrogation of these old laws, to enable the American owners of two great ships to sail them under the American flag. A brighter day is sure soon to dawn upon our American ship-building and in the near future we may again rival Great Britain in our Commerce of the Seas. ' 4—O- Amussmsnrs. Mr. Barnes of New York. Miss Loraine Hollis as the heroine in “Mr. Barnes of New York” will be the attraction at the Opera House to-night. Miss Hollis is very handsome, of the classic type of beauty with clear cut features and magnificent eyes. In spite of her beauty she is an actress who relies upon her talent alone and she has proven herself to be the p054 sessor of artistic talent of a high order. While with Augustin Daly’s company, her acting attracted the attention of been rapidly advanced. lIer method is that of the realistic school and is un- marred by aflectation or mannerisms of any sort.

' The Yellow Kid and Hogan’s Alley is a 3 act comedy, written ,by Mr. T. D. Miles and sent out under the auspices of the Sunday World with a company of comedians Whose names are well known, will be presented at the Opera House Thanksgiving day and evening. This wonderfully successful produc- tion is founded on the comical scenes and incidents as illustrated in the Sun- day World and should not be confound- ed with anv company playing a so called Hogan’s A'le'. . “Princess of Bagdad.” A small but highly appreciative an. dience attended M as Margaret Fuller 3 presentatiod of “ l‘he Princess of Bag- dad” at Ho) t’s Theatre Saturday night.
