hauled over the Northern Pacific road along
the low, weedy shores Of the Northern Mis-

Yellowstone Park, climbed slowly up to the
Continental Divide, sped down to and over
long stretches of sage-brush desert dotted
here and there with an irrigated oasis-life

valleys fed by streams of silver tinkling
over red and brown and white and
yellow tinted mountains capped by purest
snow, on and up and down again beside
swift and sweet and cold blue-green waters

cedar, on and out along broader. slower,

DEMOCRATIC SOFT MONEY PLANK.

The persistence and barrenness Of
Democratic organs in defending the plank
of the Democratic platform calling for
the revival of State banks of issue is q
feature of the early canvass. The New
York World quotes Mr.. David NJ. Stone
as an authority to the effect that sin these
days of close communication and conse-
quent quick collections wildcat banking
to any dangerous extent is impossible"
This amounts to little more than a varia-
ton on the previous dogmatic assertions
that no one now would undertake to run
bank on unsound principles The quick
communication idea is a unique refuge
which is mainly significant of the paucity
of argument for the advocates of patch
work currency. The fact that when a
workman in New York gets ten dollar
bill of an Arkansas bank he has quick
communication to satisfy himself that it
is good, is interesting, but it does not af-
ford very much salts faction to the work
man.
Let us see. Close communications and
quick collections render wildcat banking
impossible, do they? We believe that there
was case in New York not long ago in
which some spectators bought bank for
the express purpose of quitting it. If they
had succeeded the note holders would
have been protected by the national bank
system. But the Democratic organs pro-
fess to wish that class given the liberty for
such swindIing offered by forty-four diff
ferent methods of putting bank notes in
circulation in as many States. Commercial
morality has not yet reached so high a
standard that people would not be found
to take advantage of the magnificent
opportunities for cheating the public COM
prised in the freedom of issuing bank
notes without security.
1t has not yet been made clear what
malign influence secured the incorpora-
ton of this remarkable soft money plank
in the Democratic platform; but the
Democratic organs which strive to defend
it make a pitiabIe exhibition of them

RUSSIA'S RIOTS.

Our cable dispatch gives the first full
account of the Russian cholera riots at
Sye-Darya on July 6. Even Russian
officials are not altogether devoid of a
8eTse of shame, as indicated by the rigid
censorship with which it is sought to keep
accounts of these terrible troubles from
the more civilized world. That the
cholera epidemic should lead the peasants
to attack their doctors is hardly surprising
when their state of utter ignorance and
superstition is remembered And they
would be the more ready to do so since
the regulations to stem the plague were
issued by Government that has so recently
demonstrated its disability even TO protect
its subjects from starvation.
The extent OF the suffering to which the
Sarts have been subjected is indicated by
the most unusually stubborn and furious
resistance which the mobs offered to the
regular troops. Truly Russia is in sad
plight, and its Gar may well shrink from
the enormous and overwhelming task of
reform. But, hard though it be to know
where to begin, start toward happier
condition of affairs must be made some
where, and that right early, or the coun-
try and its people will even go from the
present more than bad enough to future

purpose of reinforcing its gold supply.
But if the United States can take and pay
for its own investments at low market
price in this way is it the worse or better
off for the movement If the fact be that
the result of last years trade has been to
transfer over $500, 900, 600 worth OF Ameri-
can investments from foreign hands TO
those of domestic investors, the result Is
to be counted as quite satisfactory. We
do not suppose that the Post, which is q
well-known organ of Wall street, viii
maintain that this country is Impoverished
by acquiring such large amount OF It's
own securities at its own prices.
The outflow of gold can be held to have
bearing on the silver question; but there
is more than one opinion as to the direc-
ton in which it cuts. Its continuance
after free coinage has been definitely
shelved is more suggestive of such in
adequacy of the worlds stock of gold that
Europe has to unload stock investments
in order to get gold from the United
States.

matter-where genius has scaled and leveled

cracks In grand old mountains cut a path
way for the world through a defiant barrier

streams start Off in different courses-one

Pacific ocean, one north to Puget Sound.
Three mighty rivers ere they reached three

the remnants of some of his father-in-law w's

waters, waiting for the ak, signing for the
plow.
did hear some frightful kicks against the
failure of the free coinage bill.
SURELY this country of ours is great and
grand. 1t cannot be studied from books or

Es
The renewal of gold expectations from
New York-S4, OO0, 600 being reported as
shipped by Saturdays steamers-is taken
by the New York Post as a text on the
iutility of certain spasmodic efforts to
stop the outflow by raising the rate of dis
count and endeavoring to meet drafts for
sterling exchange with ordinary CONNER
cial drafts. Thence the Post drifts into
politics by referring to the statement of
last years merchandise exports exceeded
the imports by S2o2, ,944, ,342, as follows:
Mr. Funston concludes, cheeriiy, that we
thus learn ''that a large amount OF the
worlds gold has been placed to our credit
II not actually landed on our shores and
coined into currency" The Mckinley tariff
he therefore infers, "has taken long step
toward solution OF the question of Ameri-
can currency by bringing to our country in
one year enough gold to supply every man,
woman and child with S3 25" The only
question remaining, after this lucid demon
stration, is when the distribution OF the
European gold will begin.
We presume that the Post does not
mean to dispute the accuracy of the trade
statistics showing the balance of exports
over imports as Mr.. Funston cited it.
That being the case the only cogency of
its remarks is that he omitted to give due
attention to the phenomenon of gold ex-
portation against a favorable trade
balance. But it is evident with reference
to the gold expectation that one of two
things must be true. Either the foreigners
are borrowing gold from this country, in
which case, as MI. Funston says, the gold
is placed to our credit, or they must be
sending something here outside of mer-
chandise imports to meet not only the
gold exports but the large trade balance
in addition.
There are extraneous reasons for be-
heving the latter to be the case, the con-
sideration in return being the American
securities sent here by Europe for the

Mrs. Moran Claims Peter storti Beat Her
--Petsr Says She Was Drunk.
In the District Court this morning
Lawyer Cosgrove had suit for damages
in the sum of $500 brought by Sarah Mo-
ran against Peter Storti and his wife. The
parties all lived In tenement house on
Spruce street, and Mrs. Moran claims
that on some day In the last OF July or the
first of August she was assaulted by the
Stortis and kicked and beaten with
club till her body was black and blue,
and also stabbed on the arm with
knife in the hands OF Mrs. Storti DIR.
Morrison testified that the marks on the
body must have been made with club
or other blunt instrument, and could
never have been caused by falling down
stairs as the defence tried to prove.
Mr.. and Mrs. Storti furnished lots OF
fun In their broken dialect and in their

story, whether it WAS wanted or
not, and Mrs Storti's habit OF calling
Mrs. Moran "he' was very funny. "He
fell-a down-a stairs the box he fall-a too.n
Il no have-a knife-a In my hand" and
similar expressions kept the sheriff con-
stantly calling for order.
The case was continued till Monday,

fined for drunkenness the next morning
in the police court, and the woman SAYS
she was not, and the police court records
must be obtained. j. G. q. Cobb for de-
