The too partisan friends of Mr..
Cleveland in New York belittle their
chief in their measure of his great
speech at Buffalo on the subject of pub
lie expenditures by using it to parallel
him with Governor Hill. This, how
ever, is about as high Il view of the
matter as the New York politician
can take of anything.
This creature, the New York politi-
clan, whether he be a democrat or Il
republican, is always the same narrow
partisan. He is in politics simply
as a self seeker, and as the hench-
man of some faction boss, or else is n
petty boss himself.
Knowing nothing, and caring less of
principle, he is seeking only to Use the
name of party to promote the selfish
greed of himself or his political master,
and every national convention is for a
time overwhelmed by the soiled linen
of New York's warning factions, brought
there TO be laundried by the party.
Now, out here, democrats don't want
to be annoyed with the quarrel between
the sycophantie partlsans of Mr.. Cleve-
land and Gov. Hill in New York. AS far
as appearances go, these two great demo-
cats are at peace with each other, and no
democrat outside of New York wants
to know or to be assured that Governor
Hill is doing all he a to thwart the
political ambition of Nh. Cleveland or
that Mr.. Cleveland is running about
over the state for the purpose of put
ting a knife into Governor Hill.

TO SHUT UP.

Seemingly not satisfied with the ex-
perience of the 18th of last March,
when eleven of their number were e
ecuted by the people of New Orleans,
Mafiaists of the Provezeno faction are
again raising trouble and fomenting
strife. Last Saturday Mayor Shake
speare called John Provezano, the leader
of his faction, and told him pretty
plainly that unless he and his gang OF
cut-throats behaved themselves they
would receive such n chastisement as
would forever settle their condition in
this country. The thing the people
ought to do is to drive the entire Malta
society, all its adherants and sympa-
thizers out of the United States, This
will have to be done some time and the
job would be u lighter one now than it
will be later on.

STURDY FIGHTING.

Mr.. Cleveland i'm his Buffalo speech
warned the democracy that much sturdy
fighting awaited it yet. Quite true. As
bright as the skies have been for the
democratic party, eve since November
last, it is no weakling the party will
encounter in 1892. If there is any
breach between Mr.. Harrison and his
~lieutenants, is will be healed, and the
republican machine viii be put in
thorough repair. Mr.. Harrison is no
mean leader, and Blaine is II man of
wonderful Mckinley, stung
with the defeat he received last year,
will fight like a wounded lion, and
Alger, Foraker, Clarkson and Allison,
will play no idle part in the great
struggle. The weak place in the re-
publican party to-day is the detection
of ingalls,, Stewart, Jones and other
silver advocates, who no more like
Harrison's and Windows treachery to
the coin of the constitution than do the
masses of the democratic party. To
keep these and their following aloof
from the republican forces, to appeal
to the masses, and enroll all the peO-
pie not welded to plutocracy and the
money power, is the II policy of the
democratic party. That policy was
preached by the democracy in congress
last winter when it waged its titanic
battle against the force bill, the robber
tariff, and in favor of the free coinage
of silver.
There can be no longer a doubt in
any thinking mans mind that the re-
publican party is the party of the corpor-
atoms, the party of the trusts, the party of
plutocracy and the abject tool of the
money power, the slaves of concentrated,
merciless and constituencies corporate
capital.
To be with the people, to have the
people, and hold the people, the demo-
cracy must show that it has on no part
of its garments the smell of ~plutocracy.

SILVER BEAMS.

The United States do not borrow
their form of government from Great
Britain and Germany, why borrow
their monetary ideas from thomP
From lS49, the timo ut which gold
was discovered in California til! 1890,
the United States have produced ST.
S04 ,316 1882, worth of gold and S925,z
10000, of silver,
In 1889, all of Europe produced but
so, 121, 230 of silver. AT the same time
she consumed $4,000, 900 worth in the
arts, and i'm order to do SO was com
PEELED to import nearly rs much rs all
her mines had produced.
From 1898 TO 1890, including the
first six months of the last year, the
total amount of gold and silver depOs-
tied at the mints and assay Offices Ol
the United States, was rs follows
Gold, S1,42S,931, 1860; silver, $537,-
O65, 1926, II. Total S1,965, 1915, 463 80.
The United States produces more
than even times rs much silver as all
Europe. She produces forty-nine times
as much as the German Empire; one
Thousand times rs much as Great Brit
ain. and thirty-seven times as much as
all the single gold standard countries
in Europe put together.
In England and Germany where the
idea of government Is based on the ell
| slayement of the masses, the domino
ton of the poor by the rich where a
governing class is a principle of consti-
tutional recognition, it may be all right
to use only the single gold standard OF
values; but in free America, where the
people are supposed to be sovereign,
no such condition ought 20 be allowed
to prevail.
Henry Clews in his weekly review OF
the finances says that 'sbetween the
years 1862 and 1877 inclusive the Unit,
ed States made n net export of $685.,
600 900 of gold; whilst during the
period 1873 to 1890, we made IA ne
import of $3.50, 900 900, there having
been only three years within the last
thirteen during which the export o
gold has exceeded the import" Silver
was demonetized in 1873 and during
the time this country was coming N
silver, there was a constant drain O.
gold and our export of that metal ex
ceeded our import by $685., 900, 900
In 1873 the Bland silver bill went int
effect and there begun at once a return
of gold to this country, and during the
thirteen years following there We're only
three in which the balance was not il
favor of this country. On the first da.
of this month the coming of silver wa
again discontinued. 1t was known las
January that this would be done, ant
there have been exported since tina
time $41, 000, 900, of gold, and thu
drain continues at the rate of $4,000,
900 per week. If this is not an argu
ment in favor of silver coinage it is on
of the strangest condolences in history

PANICY EUROpE.

2ussia has on deposit in British,
German and French banks the sum of
E22 ,000, 900, in gold. Having failed
in a negotiation for a new loan withthe
Rothschilds, Vichnegradski, the Rus
sian minister of finance, is preparing
to withdraw this gold form the banks
at London, Berlin and Paris, and a
monetary crisis is threatened. 1t is
rather n startling fact that the with
drawal of a small matter of $l06, 700,-
600 of gold from three of Europe's
richest and greatest nations should
threaten panic, but it is IL fact never
theless, and the draught upon this coun-
try for gold TO take the place of the
depicting deposits in European banks,
is something unusual.
And what troubles Europe equally
as much as this threatened loss of gold,
is that other fact that within the next
six months it will be compelled to send
all the gold it can scrape together to
purchase American grain with.
Having conspired with American
plutocrats to demonetize silver, and de-
base that useful metal, European tinan-
ciers find themselves beset with diff
culties v dreamed of before. The
great house of Barring Brothers has
never recovered from the wrench it re-
ceived from dabbling in South Ameri-
can securities, and the bank of England
has been compelled to again advance
its discount rates to save its credit.
The furry OF last September develop
ed the alarming fact that the bank OF
England's gold reserve vas not near
so great as it was supposed to be, and
that excites alarm over all Europe.
In Germany the distress is almost as
great as it is in England, MS leading
banks i'm Berlin have been important
depositarles of Russian gold. AS this
is drawn out they either draw upon
their creditors In Londsn or purchase
from this country, and they find them
selves paying a high premium on mon
ey they have made dear In order to
carry out their conspiracy against sill
yer.
Possibly the folly of Germany and
Great Britain in trying to transact the
vast volume of business pertaining to
their commercial greatness with gold
alone will be made manifest, and that
both these will reverse their action in
demonetizing silver and restore that
important accessory to its proper posi-
ton in the fiscal affairs of Europe.

KENTUCKY EORWARn.

The sturdy democracy of Kentucky,
led by the gallant Blackburn, fires the
first gun in the cause of silver coinage,
in the following resolutions:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
United States is the greatest silver pro-
ducing country in the world, and that
both gold and silver were equally the
money of the constitution from the begin
ming of the republic until the hostile and
fraudulent legislation Of the republican
party against silver, which undriy con-
tracted the circulating medium OF the
country, and feeling that the great inter-
ests OF the people demand more money for
use in the channels OF trade and COM
merce, we tender our gratitude to the
democrats in the last congress for their
almost unanimous votes in both houses in
favor of the free coinage Of silver, and de-
mand it restoration to the position OF
equality before the law given to it by u
fathers.
And so will speak the democracy OF
the entire nation when the fitting time
comes.

THE POPULAR ALLIANCE.
Twentieth Annual Tour of Sells Broth
ers' Enormous United Shows.

On Monday, May 25, the famous Sells
Brothers will visit Lexington with theiI
entire colossal unity of Circuses, Menage-
RE, Moorish Caravan n Spectacular pill
grimage to Mecca, Regal Roman Hippo
drome, Olympian Elevated Stages, Tropi-
cal Aquarium, Aviary, Royal japanese
Troupe, Arabian Nights Entertainment
and splendid Free Street Parade. Had
not Adam Forepaugh made his final exit
from mortality's great arena, presumably
to manage ga galaxy of stars" elsewhere,
he would be forced to concede that Sells
Brothers now have essentially "the Great
est Show on Earth" and the only legiti-
mate one of its kind left. A menagerie
which includes among many rare wild
beasts the only pair OF full-grOwn giant
Hippopotami, worth $4,000 is something
TO boast of. Other notable exclusive fea-
lures are n most singular Hairless Horse,
n whole Hook of stately O~striches, and the
tiniest pair of cattle ever known-verita-
BILE mites from elidom. The program of
Hippodrome races and general perform
ances is upon u truly imperial scale, and
the greatest drivers, riders n
athletes of both sexes, including an as
tonishing troupe of Berger and Bedouin
gymnasts. A most decided and fascina-
ting novelty is the introduction of Cyrene,
the peerless l~ong-skirt, Spanish dancer,
who is the terpsichorean sensation of the
era on both sides of the Atlantic. The
newly-devised spectacle OF the Pilgrimage
to Mecca will introduce many rich, strik-
ing II romantic novelties.
