THREE NATIONS AGAINST sILvEI

England, Germany and Austria Oppose
BimetaIlism-The Delegates.
There is no doubt but that England, Ger
many and Austria are opposed to bimet-
allism. So far as can be ascertained none
of them has come with the idea of making
serious proposal for the rehabilitation of
silver, and they Will assume purely mega
tive attitude toward any such proposal
coming from the United States or France.
The Austrian government does not care to
burden itself with any more conditions as
to its currency while in the midst of its
currency reform and the concurrent coin
age OF new money, and Germany would
under no circumstances tolerate ANYTHING
like even partial abandonment of mono
metaIlisIn, not only because the whole AGA
demic sentiment of the country seems to
be against it, Sb5rt also because such a course
would benefit France.
Not Very Hopeful Outlook.
In both Austria and Germany the alIu-
sions of the press to the conference are al
most without exception to the effect that
it represents the efforts of the silver pro-
ducing states in America to enhance their
product at the expense of the rest of the
world. Every observer of the Austrian
and German delegates in the conference
ySStSiUhJ COulu remark bnelr opposition:
IN fact, they were the ones responsible for
the request that the American delegates
should show their hand as once. They.
together with the English delegates. will
be the leaders of every effort to render
futile any work attempted by the United
States or members Of the Latin Union in
the way Of bi-metalism.
Personnel of the Conference.
Following is list of the delegates from
nations that will have most influence on
the doings of the conference:
France-M. Tirard, ex-premier and ex-
minister of finance; NJ. l. de Liron dan

MUCH ADO ABOUT SOME VAPOR
A Comet Sensation That Is Worked for 1T
Full Value,

A Comet Sensation That Is Worked for Its
/ Full Value.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-On Nov. 6 the as
tronomers discovered a comet approaching
the earth-which is to say coming in ON its
regular or irregular visit to the sun-and
after few observations said astronomers
concluded that it was Biela's comet,
| which is or has been a very cratic body of
vapor, at one time splitting in two and
| playing other fantastic tricks that could
| only be seen by those with telescopes of
great power. The comet, so the astrono-
| mers-or reporters-said was going to be
very close to the earth-a matten of about
million miles or so-and look as big as a
moon.
Not Biela's Comet at All.
The astronomers who said it was Biela's
| comet went entirely on probabilities-one
being that Biela's comet was due; that is
this year was year in its regular trip
among space when it was due up this way.
But the comet has missed connection sew
eral times, and hardly ever has come ND to
its period OF about six and three-quarters
years. And now come several astronomers
who do not take any stock in the reporto-
rial. work Misrepresentation style with which
i
isn't Biela's comet at all So says Father
Searle, of the Roman Catholic University
observatory ut Washington
Difference in Opinion.
Father Searle also says that is will not
approach close to the earth; that it is now
about $50 ,o0o,o oO miles away, and still ago
ing Professor Young, of Princeton, N.
j., says Ii VIII be nearest the earth's orbit
If it travels via Biela's route-probably
Saturday night, at any rate before next
Sunday. The comet has not been visible
to the naked eye, and will not be visible, as
its substance is very rare, not nearly so
dense as the earth's atmosphere Ii it
should strike the earth it would be like
throwing feather bed on the ocean. There
may be meteoric shower as the two bodies
attain their closest relations. 1t NAV he
noted that DR.. J. Z. Sullivan, of St. Louis
an amateur astronomer, predicts meteoric
shower Saturday night

REPUBLICAN "penny-a-liners" are
morallzing, daily, something like
this: "When President Harrison
was elected, industries were de-
pressed, business was extremely
dull, multitudes were out Of employ
ment. thousands of wheels were
still. The progress Of the country
during the four years just ended
has been unexampled in history
and so on, ad infnitum. Now,
what are the facts =? That thousands
are idle because there is not work
for them is attested by the fact that
nowhere, when there has been a
strike. has there been a lack Of men,
but there were enough, and more
than enough, idle men to take the
place of the strikers, or the locked
out operatives, as at Homestead.
Ceur de Alene, Buffalo, Homestead
and numerous other places, ought to
eternally silence such liars. They
are not simply campaign liars"
but liars from pure love Of lying,
and their dupes belong to class
who read but little and think less.
Empty houses, idle workingmen,
families roaming over the country,
seeking places where they can set
down and earn living, and plead
ing piteously for something to 90,
gives the lie, in unequivocal terms,
to the declaration that our people
are enjoying season of unexampled
prosperity. Such as we have is
class prosperity.

The exposure of United States
treasury frauds now being published
in the Topeka Advocate is a pres
entation from official documents,
and shows up as high-handed apiece
of deception, if not robbery, as has
ever been perpetrated upon the ma
ton. When the treasurer becomes
so bold and reckless in his reports
as to order the register to alter his
accounts to correspond with those
of the treasurer, there is presump-
tive evidence that there is robbery
on a colossal scale in progress.
The register is the official book
keeper, and when he is ordered
to cover up discrepancies, it is
about time a general over-hauling
of books was had. The people have
been robbed of multiplied millions
by law, and the indications now are
that they have been robbed with a
high hand, without the the shadow
of law. A discrepancy Of $247,767,-
34I. sc shows a condition of finan-
cial matters in Washington to war
rant thorough over-hauling of all
accounts. Book-keepers of business
firms and cashiers of numerous banks
have been convicted and sent to
prison for their offenses The book
keepers and trusted agents of the ma
ton who are guilty of like of1enses
should be treated no better, no mat.
ter how high he stands socially or
otherwise. If there is no law to
punish them, there should be, at this
late day, laws enacted to reach all
classes of national robbers.

Hon. S. S. KING may we'll feel
proud of the many complimentary
notices he has received, and is re-

candidate for the Office of United

He made vigorous campaign for
the Peoples ticket this fall, and in
many ways showed himself capable
to occupy any position to which he
might be called.

The fellows who are INDUCING in
prayers that times may be better
would better save their breath to
cool their soup. A four-years' ex-
perience with Cleveland in the pres
idential chair should satisfy the
most credulous that the same sys-
tenn of robbery of labor will prevail.
Wall street reelected Cleveland,
and Wall street is not making, and
will not make, any concession.
Keep up the fight. Keep the people
awake to the crimes committed in
the name of law and liberty.

If one thousand or a less num-
Der of laborers were to cOnspire to
despire to destroy any stock ex-
change, all hell would be stirred to
punish the conspirators. On the
other hand, bankers congress, or
a syndicate of trusts, or an aggre-
CATION of boards of trade or stock
exchanges, may combine to destroy
trades unions or any class of labor
organizations, and every venal
newspaper, and it's apologists,' in
the land, join in the bitterest de-
nunciations of labor organizations,
and impoverish the language in
praise of the money-buttressed con-
spirators. There was a day when
the dupes of royalty plead, 1.-The
king can do no wrong" and the day
is rapidly approaching when punish
ment, sure and effective, will be
measured to those who dare lift a
hand against labor organizations.
Men will attain pre-eminence over
dollars. Moneyocracy will be call
ed to the rear.

Lift a man, give him life, let him
work eight hours a day. give him
the school, develop his taste for mu-
sic, give him a garden, give him
beautiful things to see and good
books to read, and you will starve
out those lower appetites. Give a
man chance to earn good living
and you may save his life So it is
with woman in prostitution. Pow
erty is the road to it; it is this that
makes them the prey of wealth
and the leisure of another class.
Give hundred men in this country
good wages and eight hours work,
and ninety-nine will disdain to steal.
Give unto all women a chance to
earn good living, and ninety-nine
of them will disdain to barter
their virtue for gold.-Wendell

NEARLY all Republican editors ex-
press the hope that the Democrats
will control all branches of the gov
eminent, to see what they will do.
AS they have themselves failed to
bring relief to the people, they have
sneaking suspicion that the Dem
ocrats will do something for their
relief. Vain, indeed, are all hopes
anchored Oh Democratic reform.
AS soon expect a Chicago sewer to
become pure.

The momentous question is, wheth
er, if the United States commission
ers to the Monetary Conference at
tempt to deliver their countrymen
into the hands of the Shylocks of
Europe, will the United State senate
enter into league with them and at
tempt to deliver the goods. If it
does, a liberal use of hemp would
have salutary effect npon the trail
tors. Be vigilant. Keep your eyes
ON John Sherman and those who
train with him. Desperate diseases
REQUIRE heroic remedies. "The pun
ishment for treason is death. "
There is "a treason aside from the
overt act in time of war. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty.

THERE have been but two great
political landslides in this country
one when the Wing party, with Gen
Scott as standard-bearer, slid into
oblivion in 1852, and the other just
forty years later, when Quay and
Carter, Mckinley and John Sher-
man, and their compeers and tools,
carried the Republican party into the
vortex of ruin. Like the tail OF the
reptile, the Republican party will
show feeble signs of life for few
years, and then dissolve as mist.
By the next quadrennial upheaval,
there will be few to do it reverence,
and it will live only as memory to
be cursed for the monumental wrongs
committed in its nrme.

WE notice that the Nonconformist

know the reason for this, nor do
we care. There is no excuse for it,
When we see an old-party paper in
dulging the abuse of woman, we
think nothing of it-take it as a
matter of course-but we haven't
language at our command to express

The friends of the gamblers in flu

friends will be interfered with by
the incoming congress. They need
not trouble themselvs about such
things. None Of the schemes for

trump cards. The shuttle-cock

WITHIN the memory ofyoung men,
stump orators and partisan editors
had much to say about the sacred
rights of lebor, but now, when labor
demands the rights withheld, these
same orators and editors call the ag-
itators socialists, agrarians, anarch-
lists, communists and all the other
vile names they can invent, and
damn them as lazy louts. These
fellows do not appear to know that
snch injustice has driven thousands
of labor ers into the Populists' ranks.
They will learn this after awhile, but
when the Populists are dispensing
unalloyed justice.
