THE DEMOCRATS In a
HOLE.

Men and brethren Of the silver States.
do you not observe in all Of the Eastern
Republican papers that the Republicans
Of the East are chuckling in their sleeves
because they imagine that the Democrats
are getting themselves into q hole, as it
is expressed. by favoring the free coin
age Of silver. The boast is made loud
aud long. and with the undisguised hope,
not to say conviction, that some partisan
advantage is to be reaped from IL in the
approaching Presidential election. All
Of this means something or nothing.
There is IN implied meaning that the
Democrats are going to lose caste with
the gold bugs Of Wall street and
the East. II the Democrats are to
lose by it. the Republicans are to gain
by il, of course. What followss What
should followi Are the people Of
the silver States going to stand
supinely by and see the party that
is doing most for them go down.
without an effort to resent the selfishness
and arrogance Of the gold power OF the
East! Are we going to stick to party for
ever and starve while doing IN Home
interest should be the n vital issue
with the people Of the mining States in
the coming election. We should all
unite and 20 as one man for that party
or that candidate which gives the great
est promise Of benefit to our local inter.
est and industry. There is no other
sensible course to be pursued in the pres.
emit depressed condition Of the mining
region. II the Democratic party. as rep
resented in Congress. shall get itself into
a hole in trying to help silver. how many
Republicans are there in the mineral
West who will lend a hand TO pull il
outl This is the point, and votes talk
il q case Of this character. II we are
silver men we will stand by our friends
and damn our enemies.

ELECTIONS FOR SENATOR'S.

The New York World says: There
should appear in every State platform
,his year a demand that United States
Senators should be elected by the peo'
ple instead Of by the Legislatures.
This is a question that the States
must determine. Senators represent the
States, but the Federal Constitution pro-
vides that they shall be elected by the
Legislatures. The Legislatures have too
often proved to be unfit to perform this
important duty. They have too often
chosen moneybags instead Of men. The
people alone are to be trusted.
But the power to elect cannot be taken
away from the Legislatures except
through an amendment to the Constitu-
ton. Such an amendment may be pro-
posed by Congress by a t%wo-thirds vote,
or a constitutional convention may be
called on the application Of the Legisla-
lures of two-thirds of the States, and
the convention may propose an amend
ment. Afterwards, no matter in which
Of the two ways the amendment origi-
mates, it must be ratified by the Legisla'
lures Of three-fourths Of the States.
The task of amending the Constitu.
ton is one that demands time, and, if it
succeeds, must have a very strong senti-
ment in its favor. But the reform will
be well worth the effort. If the party
platforms Of two-thirds of the States de.
mand this year that Senators shall be
elected by the people the amendment will
probably be proposed by Congress next
Winter.

Bland, the free-silver leader. is one of
the p~lainest men in the House, writes
the Washington correspondent Of the
New York World. He wears a close
cropped dark beard, tinged with gray,
and his high creek bones iut out under
his swapping dark eyes. His hair is al.
most as thin or top as Harter's. but il
generally has an unkempt appearance.
which doubtless arises from the fact that
the Missourian is always running his
hands through il. His nose is rather
thin and his voice has q nasal twang that
at times makes his words almost undis.
tingulshable. His dress might be home
spun. but it is not. II is q rather loosely
fitting "hand-me-down suit. Bland
does not care for style. He is . great

The debate on the tariff lie on in the
House. but thus far IL has not attracted
as much attention as former discussions
Of the subject. In past years everybody
was anxious to learn all the ins and outs
Of this intricate question, while now
peoples minds are made up and they do
not fee. the same absorbing interest in it.
We believe 3 vast majority Of the Ameri.
can people are for q conservative modif-
cation Of tariff taxes. The radicals OF
neither side exactly meet the popular
view. Hill and German and Crisp on
the Democratic side are nearer in accord
with the public sentiment Of the country
than Cleveland and Mills and Watterson
and men Of their opinions. Blaine more
fttingly represents the best Judgment
Of the Republican party than either
Harrison or Sherman or Mckinley. The
people do not want either excessive pro-
lection or free trade. The great mass OF
voters stand for the happy mien between
the two. With either free trade or Q pro.
hibitive tariff we would fail to raise the
revenue necessary TO support the govern
ment. We want money enough to keep
the great governmental machinery in
order and moving, without resortipg to
over taxes or under taxes. A stiff revenue
tariff. properly laid and adjusted. is what
the country demands and is what the
tariff agitation is going to result in before
we get to the end Of it. And this is the
right of the question on its real merits.

.ar.srn COMMENCEMENT.

The Washington correspondent OF the
San Francisco Examiner is 8 bigotsed
and untruthful gold bug. The Examiner
itself seems TO lean more or less to the
single gold standard. Whe.he the
Washington idiot is writing under In
structions from the paper that employs
him, or whether his position tends to in
Auence the tone of the paper we, oil
course. have no means of knowing, but
certain il is that bis criticism OF the
Democratic majority in the House, as al
fectlng proposed silver legislation, is IN
no sense warranted by the facts in the
case as developed from time TO time by
the actual proceedings Of that body. he
writes up q great split in the Democratic
party over the subject OF free coinage,
when. as q matter Of fact, there Is no
disagreement or split worthy Of serious
consideration. There Is vastly more
unanimity in the Democratic party for
free silver coinage than there is in the
Republican party for extreme protection
in the tariff lave. II is true that there
are a few Democrats from the far East
who oppose silver legislation, but they
are more notable for the noise they make
than for the number Of votes they cast
on the call Of the roll. Combined with
the Republican opposition they could
only muster about 50 votes IS against 100
by the friends OF silver. This is sill that
could be desired, and the ultimate pas
sage Of the silver bill is o an assured
fact. Besides the great Esss OF the
Democratic members the bill will
probably receive the support OF 10 or IL
Western Republicans. II the Examiner
is a Democratic paper it shoald main
tain a Democratic correspondent at
Washington. Above sll it should have .
truthful man at that end Of the line. i,
is the true province OF . correspondent
to detail facts as they cecar, and no'

rue TARIFF AND COINAGE.

The st. Louis Republic says the free
coinage bill As it has come in the House
is net q party question. Both parties
are divided on it, smajority OF the Demo-
Gratis aud . minority Of Republicans
favoring free coinage Of both gold and
silver, while a Democratic minority and
a Republican majority favor free sOinage
Of gold only.
IL has been reasonably certain from the
first that 9 free coinage bill would pass
the House, and the proceedings this
week leave no doubt Of it. The Repub-
lie feels under obligations, therefore, to
warn Democrats who wish to see the
gold premium forced down, that coin
notes " are q most deceitful and unreli-
able device, the operation Of which is
calculated to leave silver just what IL is
nova commodity measured by gold.
No note should be issued on bullion.
Coinage should be obligatory in all cases
where a note or certificate is issued, and
the note issued on silver coin should be
redeemsble in the exact amount OF sil-
YER coin on which il is issued. Whether
the note is issued on gold or silver, it
should stand for the coin OF that metal
on which ID is based and for that only.
If THE plain principle Of bimetallism
is departed from, the result is mono
metallism-the measurement Of one
metal as . commodity in terms OF the
others. And in this country any mono
metallism will sooner or later work itself
into gold recommendation. There should
be no blunders and no oversights on this
all-important point.
The House having determined TO go
on record. it is the part Of common.sense
10 make the record as o as possible
and get the real Issues Of the campaign
to the front. The country is impatient
for action against the Mckinley bill, and
the House has already wasted q great
deal OF time. Nothing is to be gained
by consuming time on any minor ques.
sion. All such questions should be
speedily disposed Of that the real work
Of the session may begin. Party lines
are not drawn on the coinage question,
but they are drawn hard for and against
the ~probibitive tariff, and on that issue
the result Of the Presidential election will
be determined.

A special from Washington TO the

officials, who heretofore have maintained
that there would be no silver legislation
at this session Of Congress. now concede
that the passage Of a free coinage bill is

doubt, however, that it will be vetoed.
That opinion is also entertained by Con.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May 1s.-A report
reaches here of an alarming state of af-
fairs in portions OF Greer county. The
people who are now settled there took
their lands under the laws of Texas, and
many hold from 600 to 200 acres, having
it all fenced and largely improved.
Since the recent ruling of the supreme
court adverse to Texas, it has become
almost a certainty that the court will
finally decide in favor of the United
States and the land will become part of
the public domain. In this case, the
people who are now there will be able
to hold 100 acres each, and there will be
many thousands of acres of improved
land for other parties. A large number
of stragglers from the recent Cheyenne
and Arapahoe opening, have learned of
this fact and have gone into Greer
county to await the final decision of the
court. While many are acting fairly,
buying the surplus lands from the orig
inal settlers, others are preparing to
jump the improved lands made by these
settlers.

The Cattle Kings war.

( CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 19.-Among
the prisoners of the rustler's war at Fort
Russell, is loyal subject of the queen
named w. B. Wallis. He has been in
America nine years. Learning of the
expedition by accident, he joined it
without any clear idea as To his pur-
poses. He simply, wanted adventure.
The young fellow proved to be very
game, and distinguished himself by his
coolness under fire at the T. A. ranch
siege. The Britisher is willing to accept
the consequence of his acts, but his en-
ployes, the cattle kings, are urging him
to plead his alienship. He declares he
will not do this, and adds that he will
take out naturalization papers if he can
get any one to vouch for him. His fam
lily is wealthy and the prisoner has
plenty of ready money. He is inter-
ested in horse farm near Leng1nont,
Colorado.
