WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

The money question is a great and
important one, but the perpetuation OF
constitutional liberty, the safety of the
state, the protection of the citizen and
the conservation of the citizen and the
conservation of this republic are OF
much greater moment. A party found.
ed on the dollar, with nothing higher
than plan of money getting by some
new hocuspocus and without work, will
fail mlserably, as it ought to.-NIin-
neapolis Tribune.
When the whole platform is boiled
down, it SIS found to be not half as
manly or as substantial or as consistent
proclamation as the greenback party
used to put forth every year. The only
notable advance from the doctrine OF
paper money imitation is the scheme of
a governmental pawn shop and land
loan, the latter feature of (which has
brought the Argentine Republic to in
dustrlal ruin and utter bankruptcy and
to the verge OF reyolution.-Sioux City
Journal.

world like a parcel .of unreformed,

pear in their platform, and tariff re-

The nearest approach they make to the

While European governments are
struggling under the terrible load of
nearly 500, 000, 900, 900 public debts, in
creased the last decade by g, 500, OOO, 900,
our government has in the same period
paid off 81, 000, 900, 900 of its public debt

In 10 years the debts OF the foreign gov
ernments have increased as much as our
debt has been reduced in 20 years and
their military and naval establishments
continue to take the pound of flesh from
the taxpayers and depress industrial
activity.-Mnneapolis Journal.

tire strength of both. In 1873 a

tire strength of both. In 1873 as we
have seen, it injured the democracy
most in these states for the reason that
the strength of the democracy in the
doubtful states of the north is greatest
in the large cities, the voters resident
in which lend their support to new
movement promising great gains and
advantages more readily than do voters
resident in farming districts where more
conservative views prevail and agi-
taters find it much more difficult to
gain hearing. Thus it was that thir-
teen years ago the independent third
party movement, which was designed
to overpower the two old parties,
injured the democrats most, and so far
from indicating probable change in
the national administration seemed
certain to prolong the control,
obtained in 1877, OF the republic
cans, and thus postponed all hope or
prospect Of change. AS a result of
this, the budding prospects Of the new
party were chilled to the marrow in the
very first contest in which they en-
gagged. A year later QS7S) their
strength in Pennsylvania had fallen
off from $1,000 to $1,000 votes,
in New York from $1,000 to 10000,
in Ohio from 5000 to 1900, in Wis.
consin from $4,000 to 1000 and in SINH
lar ratio in other states in which
elections were held. By the time that
the presidential election of 1880 was
reached, the great national peoples
party had about gone out ofexistence. 1t
ran, it is true, General Weaver for pres
ident. and he received about half as
many votes in the entire country as the
party had cast for its candidates in but
twelve states two years before: but al
though he was a western man, and APP
pealed for support in the republican
states of the west chiefly, his candida
ture exercised no particular effect in
the contest there or elsewhere, and
Garfield and Arthur carried all of tie
northern states with the solitary excep-
ton of New Jersey.
Such having been the record, in point
of achievements, of the last independ-
ent third party organized at an Ohio
convention to overturn the democracy
and do away with the republicans here
after, there would appear to be no pres
ent cause for apprehension in the pres
ent movement, established on the same
lines, advocating in substance the same
principles, and engineered to consid-
cradle extent by the same persons.

Office, expect consideration for their
services in addition to the regular
stipend. Procuring of concessions was
obtained, as was previously mentioned,
by Charles Fl. Sanford.
In order to secure the great contract
Sanford was compelled to bid high.
James Celman was chief executive of Ar
pentine. Celman realized upwards of
$500. 600 for his fee" in granting these
concessions. An additional sum OF

IL the statements of some of the most
responsible persons are accurate: The
minister of the interior, DIR. Wild, an
other of the gang OF sharpers who
formed Argentine's Doodle ring, re-
ceived 100000 for his share OF the
deal. 1t proved difficult task for this
correspondent to trace the entire dis
position of the Barring corruption fund
used in the waterworks deal. Inc
belief is current here that nearly $50
600 was spent in 'preliminaries, as the
expression runs in Buenos Ayres.
Sanford is credited with securing
personal commissions" which put him
high above water. Having secured
the contract, Barring Bros, forwarded

each:and a third of like amount will fall
due this summer. Other sums were adj
vanced at various times until the cor
respondent estimates the governments
liability to Barring Bros. on this single
enterprise at nearly S30,OOO,OOO. He
continues: The losses of Barring Bros.
from their water works investment
will not be as grert proportionately as
in their purchases of bonds and other
money here which no one outside OF
the confidential circles OF the houses
employees and those of their agents can
describe. The correspondent learned,
however, that amounts ranging from
S., 900, 600 to twice or three times that
amount were obtained by various prov
inces for internal improvements. +"
One of these loans to Cordova, the cor
respondent says, is larger than the en-
tire province is worth. Earrings also
have large investments in railroad
bonds, but these, the correspondent
thinks, will yield fair returns in time.

An Outbreak Expected.

ST. LOUIS, June S.-A dispatch from
the City of Mexico says that advices
have been received from the city of
Guatemala to the effect that secret
meetings are being held in the upper
districts OF Guatemala at which revolu-
tionary plans are being formulated for
the overthrow of Barrilla's government.
These meetings are attended by some of
the most prominent residents and
speeches are made urging separation.
The people openly declare that they
will no longer endure the despotism of
Barrillas and an early open outbreak is
at any time.

Official Account of the Surrender of the
Itata.


NEW YORK, June S.-A dispatch
from Iquique to the Herald gives the
details of the surrender of the It8ta and
the insurgents side of the affair:
1.-THE congressional government asks
me to send the following, with the re-
quest that it be published: The Itata
arrived at TOcapula June Sd and was
instantly ordered to this port, where
she anchored at II p. m. on the same
day. She brought 5000 rifles and ..
600, 900 rounds of ammunition, which
were transferred to her off the coast of
the United States, near the uninhab-
tied island of San Colente, by the Rob-
ert and Minnie. In strict compliance
with the promise made by congress, the
ship and arms were placed at the dis
pOsal of Admiral McCann, and the gov
eminent is using all dispatch to make
ready the Itata for her return to San
Diego. The congressional party has
acted in strict honor in making every
atonement for having vacated the law
of the United States.
'There prevails here, nevertheless,
the impression that its action. while
o.IlOuJ OOLuP lJlnS WIFI tHe HoruS VI
the compact, even exceeds it in spirit
1t is fact that the Junta de Gobiena,
in communication to Secretary Blaine,
has called attention to the fact that the
Itata did not embark the arms at San
Diego, but did so after she sailed from
that port and at the uninhabited
island far from the coast.
1.-THE junta asks that while the Itata
goes to San Diego the arms may re-
main here in the custody of the Ameri-
can admiral until judgment is rendered
by the California court" -.
