THE RALICY.

Friendship for Cleveland beat Mills Tor
Speaker. Since the fight finally took
the shape of subordinating silver to the
tariff we are glad the contest resulte'. as
il did. Speaker Crisp has always voted
for free coinage. In fact all OF the can
didates, Mills, Crisp, Springer, McMil.
Ian and Hatch had good silver records.
But Mills, it seems, was willing to push
the consideration of the tariff to the ex-
clusion of everything else, IT necessary.
A majority of the Democrats of the House
have decided against that policy. We be.
lieve the policy has been wisely chosen.
It means moderate tariff legislation, with
time given to consider silver and other
important national questions. This line
of procedure will meet the hearty APP
prevail of a large majority Of the Ameri-
can people. The Democrats Of the House
have now only to 60 to work in earnest,
guided by prudence and patriotism, to
make next years Presidential election q
mere formal affair in which the electoral
votes of two-thirds Of the States will be
recorded for the Democratic ticket.

If the New York papers were correct
in saying the election of Mills would have
been q victory for Cleveland, by the same
course of reasoning the conclusion is log
ical that the beating Of Mills was 3 de-
feat for Cleveland. If this be true, it is
fair to assume that Cleveland cannot now
contest for the Presidential nomination
with any hope of success. II the claim
of the New York press is good for any
thing the Democratic party has by its
action served notice on Mr.. Cleveland
that his services as a Presidential candi-
date are not wanted and will be dispensed
with when the National Convention
comes together. We hope sincerely that
the result of the late contest is suscepti-
BILE OF this Interpretation and will have
this effect. Mr.. Cleveland is an honest
man and gave the country a clean admin.
istration. but he does not represent his
party on the question Of finance, and he
has no right to seek to become its candi-
date when he is not in sympathy with its
policies. The Democrats in Congress
this Winter will show their wisdom by
making silver as big an issue as that OF
the tariff. If they formulate legislation
ON this line, or anything substantially
approaching il. Mr.. Cleveland cannot be
even q possible candidate next year.

GOLD FOR

The Journal Of Peoria, ILL.,, says: The
silver question is assuming q phase favor
able to the advocates Of free coinage. 1t
appears that the white metal is being ex.
ported to Europe, and that gold is com
ing back in large quantities. Silver to
the value of 500, 600 left this country
during the past week. Should its export
continue at this rate for several weeks,
we would then hear no more of the
'"eighty.cent dollar" The Sherman act
of July IA, 1890, provides for the pur-
chase by government of a. 200. 900 ounces
Of silver annually, and treasury notes to
be issued therefor. These are redeem
able in coin, and the treasury must coin
enough Of silver to meet them. Accord
ing to the latest estimates the production
Of silver for the last year in the United
States is less than GO. 000, 900 ounces. AL
lowing a certain proportion Of this out
put, perhaps ten per cent, for the arts.
then there is very little left for foreign
markets. The Sherman act absorbs the
whole native product OF silver in this
country, hence, should the export of the
metal continue for q few weeks the main
argument Of the anti-free coinage men
would be entirely set aside. In Europe
silver circulates on a par with gold, and
is coined in q ratio Of l5A to l Of the lat
ter. 1t seems reasonable then to imagine
that silver which is worth over there
Sl.33 an ounce, could be brought over
here and sold for 81. 90. Before any trade
| in this line could be effectively accom-
plished, European nations should actually
reconstruct their coinage system, and
there is very little probability of such a
reform. Gold is coming back to the
United States at present to pay for our
products. This shows that after all, the
only way in which the precious metals
can go from one country to another is in
settlement Of trade balances, and not by
trading in the metals themselves. The
country that continues to export more
than it imports will eventually possess
the largest quantity of both gold and sill
yer. II must, however, not be forgotten,
that by means Of American tourists q
great deal Of gold leaves this country
yearly, for which there is no reciprocal
trade. European tourists do not to q
corresponding extent visit this country;
hence the balance Of gold in this line is
against US. If American pleasure-seek-
ers would spend their holidays in Colo
RADIO, Utah. Alaska and California, then
part Of the gold question would be set

THE DrrrERESCE IN THE MEN.

HBAE hfEE8ENG ~ A6k HIM.
The New York Herald, World and Sun
all shouted that the election Of Mills to
the Spsskership would be equivalent to
the Endorsement Of Mr.. Cleveland for the
Presidency. II they got Presidential
politics mixed mp in the fight in that way
il is . fortunate thing for the Democracy
and the country that the Texan got left.
The Cleveland Mills combination was on
the line Of the tariff. Mills has always
been q good silver man. A few years
ago he was one OF the most Jealous and
impetuous friends Of silver in the House.
We regard him still as a friend Of silver,
but he seems to have assumed the posi-
ton Of late that the tariff should be made
the chief issue in next years campaign.
There appears to be about this difference
between Mills and Crisp. judging from
such scraps Of information as have reached
us in the nature OF echoes from the re-
cent struggle for the Speskership. Crisp
is less radical, and therefore less inclined
to rip things open deeply than his COM
petitor. Speaker Crisp. we are certain,
will do the right thing by silver, by sp.
pointing Mr.. Bland to the Craftsmanship
Of the Coinage Committee, and associat-
ing with him on ID a reliable working
majority for free and unlimited coinage.
Not much can be done with the tariff
anyhow by this Congress, and we shall
not grieve if nothing at all is done, pro.
vided we get favorable and speedy action
on silver. We are for silver straight out
and against any man, or set Of men, or
Of circumstances, in Con-
gress or out, that will relegate il to the
rear or in any manner temporize with
the question.

nEu.RKaBLE mURDER TRIAL,

y
Rarely, IL ever, has q more peculiar
murder case come before the courts than
the one now on trial in Denver.
Last April Mrs. Josephine Barnsby, q
wealthy widow Of Providence, then in
Denver, received by mail bottle labelled
"Fine old whisky from your friends in
the woods" She drank some Of its con-
tents. was taken suddenly i'll and soon
after died. There was unmistable evil
dence that her death was due 10 arsenical
poison, and this conclusion was later
substantiated beyond all doubt by an au'
topsy and an examination Of the liquid
in the bottle. 1t was clear that the VIC
man had been murdered. Who was the
murderer! There were several persons
whose names were mentioned in connec'
tion with this question, chief among
whom was DIR. Thatcher Graves. He had
been the physician, confidential adviser
and business manager OF Mrs. Bsrnaby,
and soon after her death a will was Of
fered for probate in which he was named
as a beneficiary to the extent OF twenty
FIVE thousand dollars. 1t further ap-
peared that he knew before her death Of
this provision. Suspicion gradually cen.
tered on him and was strengthened by a
number Of circumstances. 1t was dis
covered that the fatal package had been
mailed from Boston, and there was strong
evidence pointing to DIR. Graves as the
one who mailed it. Finally he was in
dicted for murder by the Denver Grand
Jury, was arrested while in that oity and
held for trial. There has been some spec.
~ulation as to where the accused in such q
case should be tried. The fatal mixture
was prepared in Rhode Island, mailed in
Massachusetts,, and produced its deadly
effect in Colorado. As the death &C.
Cured, and consequently as is claimed
the murder was committed. in Denver,
the courts there have taken jurisdiction
Of the crime. The evidence against DR..
Graves, who stoutly maintains his limo
cence. is entirely circumstantial. This
fact, and the novel circumstances Of the
case, will make the trial one OF excep-
tional interest.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.

The Salt Lake Stock Journal says:
Riches do not go hand in hand with hap
piness and genuine comfort. Russell
Sage has had 3 sample Of the troubles
that wealth brings in its wake, and re.
Gently narrowly escaped death at the
hands Of a crazy dynamite fend. who
wanted a mere trifs Of 81, 900, $50 to
crafty his simple needs. Russell had just
banked his cash and his new check book
had not yet arrived from the printers,
therefore he firmly but quietly refused
the unreasonable request of the stranger,
who then opened a carpet bag he carried
with him and threw at Sage an innocent
looking projectile. When Sage recovered
his senses in an adjoining pharmacy es.
Enlistment he found that there had been
an explosion that had killed three or four
Of his clerks, injured several others, be.
sides wrecking the building, and that the
stranger with the carpet bag had been
the victim of his own i~mprudence. Had
Russell been an honest miner or q news
paper man he would have escaped all
this horrible experience, and at the same
time enjoyed the health and comfort that
labor and a clear conscience brings.

By HIS SONS pERFIDY.

There is no sadder story in all history
than that which is told OF Cyrus W.
Field. Edward NJ, the favorite son,
went to his father when the venerable
man-seventy-four years old-wss pros
trated with grief at the mortal illness Of
his wife. He told his father that his
6rm was in trouble and needed money.
Cyrus Field. like the noble man he lie,
gave his son the key Of his strong box
and told him to take what securities were
necessary to tide the firm Of Field, Lind.
ley, Wiechers & Co. over their difficult
ties, not knowing, of course, the extent
Of the deficit. And now it appears that
the faithless son robbed his father Of al
he possessed. He emptied the box and
took everything his father owned in the
world. Cyrus ". Field is ruined through
his son. 81 am as poor as the day
came into the world, means the old man,
sick unto death. Can there be any pic
ture more tragic than that!

rs 1T To ne l.

Recent occurrences would seem to point
very strongly in the direction Of Cover
nor David B. Hill, Of New York, as the
most likely Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. He is said to have taken an
active part for Crisp against Mills in the
late Speakership eight. As q matter OF
fact the credit would seem to be due to
him for e~lecting Crisp. Cleveland was
on the other side and the Governor
wanted to show that he was q bigger man
than the ex-President. The New York
delegation will be his IL he wants it.
There are evidences that he will want it,
and is already in the field for it. The
New York Herald, until now. has al.
ways been for Cleveland and against
Hill. The Herald is o clamoring for
q Western man. This, we take it, is be.
cause Cleveland cannot beat Hill for the
New York delegation. If he could it
would probably be for an Eastern man,
as usual, and that man being MIR. Cleve-
land. Finding that it has no show to
beat Hill with Cleveland, il is willing to
beat him with somebody from the great
West. At least this is the way the stu
alton presents itself, unless there have
been changes and conversions in New
York that are not known on the outside.
Governor Hill is also getting in line with
his party on the silver question. he
made q very fair silver speech right under
Cleveland's nose in the Flower campaign,
and a few days ago made another before
the Hill Club of Elmira. The Demo
cratic ticket next year is as apt to be Hill
and Boies as any two names that can be
suggested at this time. Almost certainly
one Of these names will appear on the
ticket. Boies can hardly be overlooked
for either first or second place.

MORE SUITS.

Fox has now brought suits against
Mackay, Senator Jones, Harvard, and
Hobart-fouf new suits. The milling
ring of these people is supposed to be
about the same as that shown up in the
Hale 4 Norcross suit. AS a matter Of
fact the Jones crowd invented the mill
ing ring business. and all hands have be-
come enormously rich out Of it. II is an
easy matter to get rich if there be enough
to steal. And it has been such secure
stealing with these rings. They had mo-
body to watch them. They were the
officers and Directors Of both mines and
mills, and the stockholders were all
asleep. The scheme Of plumber possessed

A Washington special says there is a
disposition among leading Democrats to
hedge and dodge on the silver question
this Winter. We do not believe the
Western Democrats will permit any such
work as that any more; we do not be-
lieve the Western Republicans will per.
nit it. There are a good many electoral
votes in the West just now, so many
that they cannot very we'll be ignored.
and some Of the people Of the West are
very determined on the silver question.
The correspondent may be mistaken, but
il we were to diagnose the case we would
say that il there is anything in his dis.
patch, il means that Mr.. Cleveland is
again assuming control of the Democratic
party, and is going to try to carry into
the campaign next year what he carried
so unsuccessfully into the campaign Of
1880, in which campaign he compelled
his party to be silent on the silver ques.
ton, and to crowd free trade, under the
title of tariff reform, down the throats
Of the American people. He failed in
'SS; he will be liable to fail in go il he
tries to repeat that programme, and it
would be just like him, for be is as stub.
born as that ancient animal called the
mule; and he poses on his stubbornness
because he knows that a great many peo.
pie believe that stubbornness is lofty
kind Of 6rmnes IS, and he laughs in his
sleeve at the thought.
The silver question is going to be a
factor in this Winters legislation, and
we do not believe that the men Of the
West will permit it to be coughed down.
