The Republican press of the country has
long assailed the Democratic party as being
the champion of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver This false accusation has
been as vigorously denied by Democrats. In
support of this denial now comes the Colo
RADIO state Republican convention and
instructs its delegates to vote for no Repub-
lican candidate for president who is not an
avowed advocate of free silver coinage. No
Democratic state has gone on record to this
effect What does the action of the Col
orado Republicans prove? Simply this:
The whole free silver craze was originated by
a coterie of Republican leaders from the sill
reproducing states men like Teller. WOlcott
and Stewart who know no politics but the
politics of the pocketbook and who are ready
to sacrifice any principle to gain their ends.
And these are the men who stoop to the de-
grading business of trying to foist upon the
country an Infamous measure under the
guise of a Democratic bill. But they are
spotted by the Democratic party. and their
schemes are all exposed The Republican
party must hereafter shoulder all responsible
ity for free silver.
The Republican party will not turn down
Harrison a Minneapolis. 1t is on still hunt
for little men, and Benny is the smallest of
the lot.
Is Minnesota destined to become the home
of literary iconoclasts? The question is sug-
gested by recent attacks of Minnesota man
on the works of Sir Edwin Arnold. coupled
with the former onslaughts of Ignatius DON
nelly upon the posthumous fame of Shake
speare. The New York Press says that the
charge of plagiarism against Sir Edwin Ar
mold is made by Minnesota banker named
CadbOurne, now in Japan" Telegraphlc
errors have doubtless twisted the name of
c. II. Chadbourne, Minneapolis banker, Ia
vorably known in financial circles through
out the Northwest, into Cadbourne. MIR.
Chadbourne, according to the Press, asserts
that Sir Edwin was guilty of plagiarism from
the standard works of Japan in his series of
articles in Scribner's Magazine, since re-
published in book form and entitled 'Japon-
ica,' and likewise in his letters for the En-
glish press similarly collected and published
under tle title of Seas and Lands 20" If Mr..
Chadbourne has made any extended re-
searches into the fields of Oriental literature
in support of charges to which the Press
calls attention, we may rest assured that the
work has been thoroughly done. He is a
man not prone to jump at conclusions. Facts
are much more i'll his line than fictiOn. II
Mr.. Chadbourne has made these charges one
can readily see who knows the gentleman.
that his sole object is to bring truth to the
front and expose a fraud. He can be ae-
cused of no Interior motive. No one would
more heartily applaud the honest fame OF
any author than Mr.. Chadbourne. But the
credit must be due before he would be pre-
pared to grant it. He despises isubter-
fuge of every description. In this con-
nection it is. however, easy to see now
MIR. ChadbouIne may have been led
into over estimation of the literary
province of Sir Edwin Arnold. Sir Edwin
and Mr.. Chadbourne are men of dist1nctiyely
opposite types The one is highly imagina-
tive; the other sterDly practical and devoid
OF the subtle inspiration loaned by fancy
Having acquired his facts from the source
shown by Mr.. Chadbourne, it is natural to
suppose that in Transporting them into his
imaginative and in Il sense, creative work,
Sir Edwin has failed to impart sufficient
originality to scenic description leaving the
reader acquainted with the source from
which he drew to catch many strikiDgly
synonymous illusions. In the heat of COM
position Sir Edwin might overlook simil-
arity which Mr. Chadbourne, approaching
the subject in a calm, dispassionate frame of
mind would quickly discover and. in the
honesty of his purpose, as quickly call to 1t
the attention of the world. At all events. we
are content to await the issue of this last lit
erary sensation with calm assurance that no
Injustice will be done Sir Edwin Arnold by
Mr.. Chadbourne of Minneapolis, Mr.. Barnes
of New York, or Mr.. Potter of Texas.
