REPUBLICAN ADVICE.

The New Orleans Delta has the follow
ing: The solicitude being displayed by the
Republican party generally, and the Re
publican press particularly, least the De-
mocrscy should nominate a weak candi-
date for the Presidency next year is very
great. In fact il is so earnest that some
people doubt its genuineness. The elab-
crate calculations which the Republican
papers are making to convince the Dem
oorats that the selection Of Cleveland as
their nominee means certain defeat are
very emphatic indices, pointing to the
fact that he Is the man they most fear.
And the constantly recurring cartoons,
in which he figures, In the Republican
illustrated journals, do much toward
proving that he is not the political cad
aver they are pretending 10 think him.
While we are welded to no man as the
candidate, and are prepared to accept as
our standard bearer whoever the major
ity Of the party may deem the strongest
and best man for the honor, we hold fast
to the doctrine that neither the Republi
can party nor the Republican press should
have a part in saying who should OF
should not be selected to lead us against
them. We have nothing to do with the
question Of who they shall select for th.
Democrats to slaughter in 1892. and WI
propose that they shall have as little t
do with our selection. If the Democrac!
Judge Mr.. Cleveland to be the man h
will be nominated, and if it thinks tn
honor should go to some one else, then
will so act. But the other side will b
given no say-so in the affair until tn
polls open on election day, when the
will be free to express their opinions j
the matter. We suggest that "ou
friends, the enemy" have enough to d
with the shindy they have on hand j
their own camp, without coming int
ours with their unsought and unappreci
ated advice.

A contemporary Processes not to con-
prehend what President Harrison means
when he says; Every dollar we issus
must be as gOod as any other dollar.
Our contemporary wants TO know (which
is the dollar and which the other dollar.
Under the conditions the President lays
down there is no "other dollar" All
dollars are interchangeable with each
other. The dollar may be Of gold or sill.
yer. but the requirement. 10 that one shall
have equal currency value with another.
Under the present policy the silver dol
lar does not possess equal intrinsic value
with the gold dollar. But the silver dol
lar is kept at par with gold by the obli-
CATION the Government has assumed TO
receive il for all government dues. Free
coinage would give rs dollars OF unequal
currency value. II the limit should be
might be converted into money, gold
would inevitably 90 to premium.-San
Francisco Call.
The Call is one OF the leading Repub
lican organs Of California. It and the
Bulletin belong TO the same firm. Neither
Of them ever misses an opportunity to
bit silver lick in the wrong direction.
Indeed we hardly know Of Republican
paper in California that is not consis'
teutly gold bug through and through.
The Chronicle claims to be an exception,
but never draws the line against any Re.
publican candidate on account Of his anti
silver views. II follows, therefore, that
the Republican party and press Of Cali
fornis are as much opposed to silver as
are the same party and presses in New
York or Massachusetts. Every strictly
Democratic journal in California Is true
TO its party by being true to silver. We
are glad that one Republican organ, that
gushed for Harrison while he was out
here, has taken il upon itself TO explain
what the President meant when he said
"every dollar we issue must be as good
as any other dollar" We have no doubt
that he meant precisely what the Call
says he did, namely, THAT the silver
dollar does not possess the same in
trinsic value of the gold dollar. That
is what Sherman, Blaine. Hoar and all Of
the Republican leaders say. They affect
TO be bimetallists and to believe in the
silver dollar if we will only add sufficient
silver bullion to the present standard
dollar to bring il up to the market value
Of the gold dollar measured by gold. They
want five pecks in the bashel. The Re.
publican party is not the kind Of silver
party, nor Its leaders the kind of silver
men, that the West should longer trust
or have anything to do with.

When Secretary Seward negotiated
the treaty with Russia by which we &C
quirsd AIasks there were many who be-
lieved the United States were throwing
away 81. 2O0. 900 Of good money for which
no proper equivalent would be realized.
Alaska was regarded as q region Of gla-
ciers and inaccessible mountain ranges,
with some fish not worth catchisg and 9
little timber that would not pay the cost
Of marketing. That It's possession car.
ried with il some strategic value was
deemed probable, but there were few
who believed that the bargain was good
one from pecuniary point Of view.
A recent census bulIstin, however,
dispels this illusion completely. The
shipment Of fur seal skins since 1867. the
year In which Alaska was acquired, has
reached s33, 900, 900, and Of other furs,
SIC, ,0O0, 900; . total fur output Of S49,-
900, 900. The salmon and cod6sheries
have netsed $40, 900, 900, and the gold
mines, $4,000, 600; making the total
product Of the Territory in the twenty
three years s63, ,O00, 600; not bad return
on the original investment.
Whatever may befall the seal fisher
les, the income from the salmon and cod
fisheries is certain to be muoh greater in
the future than in the past. The rivers
fairly swarm with salmon, and now that
the Columbia river and its tributaries are
becoming depleted, the canneries are
moving to Alaska. The cod fisheries OF
the Pacific coast are only In their infancy,
but they are known to be very valuable.
Abost $780, 200 annually is taken from
the gold mines. an output that is certain
10 increase with the decline Of the gold
deposits in Californis. There is vast
extent Of gold. producing territory In
Alaska awaiting development. II Secrs.
tary Seward was alive now he would not
be called upon to apologize for the pur-
chase of Alasks. Philadelphia Times.

New York World: The principal bust
ness portion Of Iquique has been de
stroyed, but the rest of the town escaped
serious damage. Provisions are being re-
ceived and the danger of a famine is dis
appearing. The railway has been repaired
and is in running order. The railway
played very important part in the war
on the pampas, being used by both armies.
Field and Gatling guns were mounted on
fiat cars and fighting was carried on from
the cars whenever possible. One of the
tricks adopted by the revolutionists was
to make up long train Of cars. and. af-
ter putting on full steam. jump off and
let the train run away and crash into the
Government train on the track ahead
with which they had been fighting. This
scheme was adopted after running out Of
ammunition.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Dispatches from Columbus, Ohio, say
the expression of many of the delegates
to the convention show that the farmers
will make a strong fight against McKin.
ley for Governor and Sherman for Sena-
tor. S. H. Ellis, State Master Of The
Grange, and also President Of the Far
mers' Union, says he does not think
that Sherman can be reelected to the
Senate, no matter what the action of the
farmers may be at the Columbus Con-
vention. As for himself, be will vote
for no candidate for the Legislature who
will not pledge himself to oppose Sher-
mans return to the Senate. Even if the
convention decides against third party,
the farmers will be sufficiently strong In
the next Legislature to render impos-
sible the election Of Senator as antago-
nistic to their interests as John Sherman,
and, as an earnest Of good faith, the NOV
ers of the third party intend to try to
beat Mckinley in his canvass for the
Governorship, and while it is thing yet
to be accomplished, it is regarded as q
certainty by the Farmers Alliance and
other reformers that full State ticket
will be put in the field by the third party
Jerry Simpson, who is q pronounced
free trader, and as much opposed to
tariff for revenue. as advocated by the
Democrats, as he is to tariff for monop
olies, as advocated by the Republicans
has programme laid out for him, ant
he will devote considerable time to edu-
eating the farmers of Ohio. He is ex-
pected to make seversl speeches in June
and stumping tour near the close Of th'
campaign.
The Alliance men do not care to tall
third party until something can be &C
complished by it, and they want tn
movement forced by public sentimen
aud not nursed into activity by so.calle'
leaders. They believe if the Democrat
nominate Cleveland the third party will
succeed in electing their candidate TO
President, but whatever may be the re-
suit of the national election they wan
to defeat Sherman and Mckinley il

The Reno Gazette says the outlook for
. prosperous year in Nevada was never
better than now. The frequent rains that
have visited the State insure an abund-
ant harvest and the range never locked
better. What cattle and sheep we have
to market will be rolling fat, and from
present indications will command good
prices in the markets Of the world; the
Fall wool clip will be the largest ever
known, and will be sought from every
part Of the globe. The fruit crop prom
ises to be exceptionally large and fine,
and Nevada apples will find ready sale at
one dollar box. The hay aud grain crop
will be unusually large. and with the min
ing industry holding up its head, the
prospects are indeed iattering. Eastern
capital is looking for investments in East.

ly visible all over the State. Through
the efforts Of the State Board Of Trade

safed to them upon the encouraging out

. THE DusCONTENTED.''

A morning newspaper, says the New
York World, refers contempsuously to
the men assembled in Cincinnati as the
" delegates Of the discontented.
The men In question may be very wise
or very unwise-what they do will de-
termine that-but il is no reproach to
them that they are the " delegates OF the
discontented." The Congress which
adopted the Declaration Of independence
was composed wholly of the delegates Of
the discontented, and so has been every
other gathering OF men which has insti-
tuted any of the great reforms OF history
1t is not reproach to man to be dis
consented. The Hampdens, the Patrick
Henrys, the Jeffersons, the Adamses, the
Franklins and all the rest Of Liberty''
lovers have been the discontented and
the delegates Of the discontented, and il
was their discomfort that made them the
benefactors Of mankind and the scourg-
ers of wrong.
Every man Of honest mind is discon-
tented with wrong. injustice and oppres
sion, and is at war with those things
whether on his own account or in behalf
of his fellow.men. Discomfort is the mo-
tive power of human progress. 1t hal
accomplished the overthrow Of despoti'
power and the emancipation OF the peo
pie 30 far as those ends are accomplished
1t alone can complete that work. Issome
times errs in its objects and methods, bu'
II would be the saddest of all days fol
humankind on which discomfort should
be eliminated from the list OF active
forces or the delegates of the discon
tented" should be made to hold thei
peace.

THE "ANABORRO."

A writer in the Queenslander, Bris-
bsne, Australia, gives something in the
shape Of genuine information to the effect
that there are immense herds of wild buf.
falos in Australia. The article is called
out by an inquiry from Michigan. The
herds were observed about thirty miles
from Port Essington in 1874. The native
blacks called the animal "anaborro. "
Bulls weighing ton have been killed.
albeit their conquest Is no boys play, for
their hides are an inch thick. The horns are
square at the base and four inches thick,
and the tips bend backward, so that in
charging the animal puts his head be-
tween his forelegs. There is but little hair
on the body, and the color is dirty red
dish.brown. The bones are of great
sturdiness and thickness. Not only are
they found on the Australian mainland,
but on Melville Island. which is thickly
stocked with them. As the American
buffalo has disappeared within few
years il is interesting to know that his
relatives Of the same race are still alive
and doing we'll at the antipodes.
