Th following from the Jackson'

standpoint : "President Cleveland has

his successor will at least endeavor to
do something for the beaefit of the
people, inatead of having only the
money power's intereata in view.
Cleveland'a foreign policies, with one
exception, have been villainous a
disgrace to America and something
should ba dona for Cuba and the
Sandwich islands as sooa as the peo

Times hopea that Major McKinley
will ba equal to the emergency. He
baa a golden opportunity to canonise
himself by simply doing what Cleve
land has not done."

agitation is atarted for . lengthening

magistrate, for tba reason that a preei-
dential campaign ia distracting and
depressing to business. This is al-
Iways true of a presidential contest, but
the interference with industry baa
