The Night Is Passing

It is nhvays interesting to watch tlie slovv dawn of a new day. The purple shadows of the passing niglit nielt slowly and sileutly slip out to give place to the brightening dawn. When the sun has cliffibed tlie rosy sloppn of the East and lights with his golden beams the tnountain tops, we feel that thp dailv miracle of a new birth is aceomplished and that another day bas oponed upon the world. It is with something of the same feelings that we watch the dawn of a new political day. feeling that with ils morning comes tl. inspiration of new duties, the necessi ■ for fresh achievements, for greatt ■ patriot'sm and broader purposes. The American people are a patriotic pe and they have infinite faith in the possibilities of the American future. We are beginning to feel that we may look the whole world in the face and boldly challeuge it to surpass us in all that really pertains to national greatness and the possibility of progress. We are each year acceptiug more fully and heartily the theory that wnen God built this New World, and environed it by mighty oceans He inteuded itjor the home of freemen, where all those conditions should exist which are necessary for the highest development of the race. The American people have for the past three years or more been indulging pretty freely in political experiments. We have discovered what mere theories are worth which are impossible of practical application. We have passed through the dull, long night of languishing industries, when the thousand forces of labor were stilled, when competition was strangled and industry was famished and despaiiing. From ocean to ocean we have seen the workshop deserted and found the clutcfa of Idleness upon the arms of the workingman. Never before in our history bas there been such a vast army of unemployed seeking work and tiiiding it not. The conditions which have thieatened us have been appalling in their danger and filled with possible evil results that might be lastiug. We have been misgoverned to an extent heretofore unkuown in this republic and which lias made possible the direst disaster. Bat now we feel that the night is passing and that tlie dawn of a new political day is near. We watch the passing of the night and wait with high hopes for the coming day. The lessons of experience have been well learned, and we have gathered wisdom therefrom. With McKinley in the White House there wil! be no repetition of the lack of wisdom which so blindly demanded a "change" four years ago next November. The American people will go up to the polls with thinking ballots in the hands of the great majority, and the result will be such as every patriot desires, the triumph of protection, of sound monev and industrial progress. The poor man will again take hope, and Labor throw off its chains, and evervwhere shall we see the evidences of returning strength.
