HOW To REAT THEM.

In suit going on between two stars of
the first and perhaps the third magnitude,
in the planetary system of stock manipula-
ton, Mr.. John W. Mackay and Mr.. Edwin
S. Stokes, an important principle was in
treduced in the evidence. A letter was
produced written by the bonanza king in
which he gave the sage advice to Stokes
that "the only way to beat Jay Gould is to
leave him alone"
The advice was intended to apply di-
rectly to Wall street operators, but it has
an equal value for the general public.
The only sure way to beat tacticians of
the Gould stamp is to let them alone.
Gould's success in amassing unnumbered
millions has been due to the fact that he
could always find victims who imagined
that they could play successfully at the
game of Wall street with the other side
holding the loaded dice. When the pub
lie makes up its mind to let Gould and all
his so-called securities severely alone, Mr..
Gould's game asa Wall street manipulation
will be completely beaten.
The rule applies to others than Gould.
Wherever there is a corporation stock, or
the certificates of a combination of cor
porations, under the control of one or a
clique of operators, the only way to get
the better of them is indicated by Mack
ay's apothegm. We violate no confidence
in the assertion that the outsiders who
thought they could bet successfully on
mining stocks in the days when John W.
Mackay and his partners ruled the Vir-
einia City bonanza found themselves at
the end with large stock of experience
and with the money in the hands of the
bonanza quadrilateral.
Mr. Mackay's rule is indisputable; but
the most convincing demonstration of it is
the manner in which the fleeing of the
lambs has been carried on until there are
no more left to support Wall street with
their innocence.

THE WAR PARTY,s LEADER.

1t is pleasant to know that the new po-
litical forces which have been bowling for
war, have got leader. Mr.. John L. Sui
ivan has declared himself, and is now
leader of the Jingoes. Mr.. Sullivan's
platform is built on the lines of the
average Jingo editorial, and asserts that
s'them Chileans has done us enough dirt,
and ought to be wiped off the face of the
earth, seep'
This reinforcement to the ranks of the
war party will be a powerful factor, not
only because of the large intelligent con-
stituency which Sullivan represents, but
because it is distinct accession to the
fighting power of the party. Outside of
the naval contingent which hungers for
promotion and prize-money there has
been a dreadful suspicion that the most
bioodthirsty members of the war party
were those who expect other men to do
the fighting Mr.. Suilivan's character as
a warrior will lend dignity to the bel
ligerent cause and protect 1t from the
above accusation-at least within Sulli-
vans hearing.
There have been intimations that the
distinguished slugger was going into poll

THE INTERNATIONAL PROPOSITION.

There is no possible objection to the
proposition to invite the European Gov
ernments to a needed conference on the
silver question. Although there is little
chance of the invitation being accepted it
is properly within the policy of the United
States to frequently intimate to Europe
that this country is ready to join in an
international conference for the purpose
of restoring the monetary function to
silver.
The great mass of the people of the
United States believe that silver should be
used as money. The legislation of the
Government is based on that conviction,
and while there is the widest possible diff
ference of opinion as to the basis on which
silver coinage should rest, it is an attitude
which we can well adopt as q nation that
we are in favor of an international agree
ment to restore silver on a conservative
and stable basis.
But to entertain the idea of ratio of
15115 to as between silver and gold when
the ratio of bullion value is over 20 to 1 is
simply to condemn the projectin its incep-
ton. If the United States would propose
conference for the rehabilitation of silver
on the basis of actual bullion value it would
make strong appeal to the solid sense of
the European bimetallistS.

FAST ELECTRICAL TRAINS
They VIII Be Running From st. Louis to
Chicago in Short Time.

81. LOUIS, Jan. 25.-A company has just
been incorporated in Springfield, Ill, for
the purpose of building an electric road
from here to Chicago. Among those inter-
ested are Governor Francis, Congressman 5.
W. Cobb, John W. Harrison, l. G. W. Stead
man, Web NJ. Samuel, e. S. Rowee, William
Fl. Thompson, President of the Bank of
Commerce; DR.. Wellington Adams, the In
ventor or the first successful electric motor,
and John p. Kaiser They represent several
million dollars. The company proposes to
build double track road, as straight as an
arrow, without a curve to it. On this road
it is proposed to run electric cars, which
will travel at the rate of 100 miles an hour,
making the distance in two and one-half
hours, instead of eight as now. The power
station will be at Clinton, ILL.,, whore the
company will operate its own coal mine
for fuel using electric drills for mining ma
chinery.
In time, the entire line is expected to be-
come a boulevard, the farmers houses
standing on city lots, while behind them
will stretch the wheat fields. The houses
will be lighted and heated by electricity
and the reapers mowers and threshers will
be driven by chained lightning An electric
block system will be operated and the track
will be matically illuminated a mile
ahead ard mile behind each car. Trains
which are on the same section will have tel
ephone connection and communication may
be had whether the trains are moving or
standing still.

THE STRIKE DISTURBANCES

The proclamation of the Sheriff of the
county in the matter of the passenger
railway strike in Allegheny brings the
demonstration over there directly within
the vigilance and pale of the law. Every
one should understand the line at which
manifestations of sympathy, which are
lawful, end, and manifestations OF disor-
der, violence and riot, which are unlaw-
fuI begin. 1t needs no exposition of the
statutes to convey this perception to the
most ordinary mind. But it viii be well
TO remember that between expressing dis
approval of the policy Of railway corpor-
q on, and breaking the peace Of the State
thare is momentous difference, attended
by serious results to those concerned.
On behalf Of the best interests of labor,
violence in connection with strikes is
always to be deplored and in unmistaka-
BILE terms condemned. With a serious
breaking of the peace public sympathy, no
matter how strong previously, is neces-

sarily alienated or paralyzed. 1t is to be
hoped that all interested will take to mind
the responsibilities of the situation; that
neither bad feeling nor bad counsel will
prompt any violation of the now pro-
claimed law, whose DEGREES must be res
pected at ali hazard of temper or interest.
1t seems necessary to call attention to
this phase Of the case rather more in
respect to the crowds which gather in Al
legheny to express sympathy for the
strikers than in regard to the strikers
themselves. 1t is usually the sympa-
thizers who overstep the law: and most
generally they and the cause they sympa-
thize with are they sufferers in conse-
ouence.

AN ELECTRICAL BOY.
He Amuses Himself by Shocking Every
thing Within His Reach.

thing Within His Reach.
KIowA, KAN, Jan. 25.-George Harger, who
lives just south of this town, IS the father of
6-yearold boy who is an electrical wonder.
The boy has been known as peculiar" ever
since his birth, and those who nursed him
when an infant were won't to say that he
"made them nervous" His actions and
habits were those of all infants, and he has
never shown any mental traits different
from those usually seen in the average boy.
His parents and others who are intimately
connected with the family, however, say
that there has always been something un-
canny about him. Whenever the child was
taken up from the floor or bed cracking
noise was heard and slight shock and
pricking sensation was felt, similar to that
felt when cat is rubbed on a cold day.
The boy can greatly increase the force OF
the shock by rubbing his feet on the carpet,
and after dark the electrical discharge is so
strong that sparks are emitted when he
slides across the floor and touches piece os
metal The force of the current seems to be
greatly increased for several days before
storm of any kind, and his father now de-
clares that he can foretell every change in
the weather by watching his boy. The little
fellow amuses himself by touching all the
dogs aud cats about the place and the re-
suit is that they all flee at his approach.

IT should be clearly understood that true
patriotism does not involve the moral sup
port of ones country against ones sense of
Justice. Were it not for the many state
contrary, ir would be platitudinarian to as
sert that neither patriotism nor any other
feeling should invalidate the dictum of the
individual conscience. 1t is patriotic to
make private opinion give way to an unquali-
fed support of any national cause to which
the Government is irreyocably committed,
but it is no less patriotic before such posi-
tion has been reached to agitate for decis-
ion which accords with ones own feeling of
right.
