10 the New York Herald is 20 be credited,
Gov. Flower. of New York, is being talked
Of in Washington by New Workers as an
available candidate Of the Democratic
party for President in 1896 The time for
making the next nomination of a demo
cratic candidate for President is too far
away 70 discuss the availability Of candi-
dates seriously II is not too far away,
however, to suggest that New
York has been permitted TO
ramc the candidate about long
euou,h, and that it is time some one of
the other states and some other section Of
thecountry were given a chance TO furnish
q candidate.
In the next national democratic conven-
ton tho west and the south will insist
that the candidate shall be taken from
one or the other OF those sections.
There is no fault to be found with Mr..
Cleveland He has been nominated three
times and been elected twice. II is not
probable that he will be a candidate
again. If he is he viii find. doubtless, a

now why the Democratic party should not

try upon a sound basis, his popularity will
be greater even than 1t is at present. He
would be acceptable to the south, in fact

they could. They will find, however
that in the next convention the west and

candidate.

A Fool Kingfiaher.

Nov, let me tell you little incident or
two that happened to me last summer" says
a correspondent OF the American Angler.
'One day as ! was walking across the river
bridge with two friends and happened to
look down in the water (Which, by the way is
about forty feet distant from the bridget
saw a pickerel about two feet long lying there
in the clear water near the shore. told my
friends to stay there, and l would get my rod
and line and live minnow and catch the fish
/ dld so, and put a nice little sinner on the
hook Il had anautOmatic reel, with ninety
feet of line on it,. l let the minnow down
in the water, and it hardly reached
there before a kingfisher came down
from under the bridge, seized
my minnOw and started down the
river. When he got the line Strengthened out.
he let the minnow drop, and l supposed he
went on down the river so l started once
more to catch the piekerel, but had hardly got
my line in shape again when down came Mr.
lingtsher and took the minnow again. This
time, however, he went back under the bridge,
and after a moment or two, let the minuow
fall back in the river and l then went after
the pickercl again and for the third time down
came Mr.. kingtisher; but he got the hook
along with the minnOw and l had him fast.
lie few right straight up in the air and 1 let
him have the whole ninety feet of line; then
l reeled him in from the sky, and you never
heard such a noise as he made. but l landed
him all right. then took him and showed
him to all the fishermen in town and then let
him go, and he went back to the bridge"

The mistake rhoy are mahinr.

These who are clamorinc for the frcc
ooinarc ~ silver 10 the present ratio. and
assert shat 10 viii make the silver dollar
worth as much as ,hc sold dollar IN The
markets and the payment Of obligations.
fail to take into account tho fact That the
government cannot change economic laws
by legislative enactment. 10 cannot make
the silver dollar circulate on o parity with
the gold dollar by "a statute that the
silver dollar shall be received for al dues
10th public and private
The gold dollar passes the world over
at its face value because of its intrinsic
value. The standard silver dollar circu-
lates on par with the gold dollar in this
country, for the reason that the govern
ment will give a gold dollar for it If
gold dollar is demanded. and there is
confidence that the government is able to
give a gold dollar in exchange for silver
dollar
If for any reason, however, confidence
should be lost in the ability of the gov
eminent to pay gold for silver, the silver
dollar would drop to its bullion value so
suddenly that the whole business of the
country would receive a disastrous shock
During the war of sec ession the govern
ment did its utmost to keep its paper
money at'par with gold, and it even went
so far as to make a law forbidding all con
tracts for the future sale of or delivery or
loan of any gold coin or bullion or foreign
exchange, and the penalty for violating it
was Imprisonment. The wise men who
made this law thought speculation in gold
caused the high premium on it, and they
discovered their mistake. Gold advanced
rapidly under the operations of the law,
because the law still further weakened
ment. The premium on gold advanced so
greatly that the law was repealed within
two weeks after it was enacted.
There is no good reason for thinking
that free silver coinage law would
cause the price of silver to increase. 1t
was said that the Bland law would cause
the price of it to advance, but it didn't.
Then the silverites declared that the sill
yer purcha Sc act would bring up the
price of it, but they were mistaken. Now
they are asserting that what is needed to
bring about parity between gold and sill
yer is free silver coinage They are Just
as much mistaken as they were on the
other occasions mentioned. The price
cannot be controlled by legislation II
may be influenced little for a time, but
the market values of all articles are con.
trolled by certain economic laws which
cannot be changed by legislation.

weI-dressed men. though from The appear
ance OF their hands they earned their daily
bread by the sweat Of their brows.
10 was In a large pool-rOom. and all Of the
tables were M use. Only few loungers were
watching these two at nrst for they played
rather indidereutly.
Let's make IL interesting and play for
some stakes, " said player number one.
Very We'll. Make 10 500 a game
There was no smile 10 show that there was
joke. They played more carefully and each
won a game. during which few more loung-
ers were attracted by hearing the size Of the
stakes.
Then Number Two proposed that the stakes
be raised to 600, and they cath won another
game. Some Of the others stopped playing
TO watch this large game.
This is getting mOnotOnOus,' says Num-
Der One. Let's have just one more game for
5000 a side"
Number Two demurred. but finally agreed.
All the other tables we're deserted by this
time, and the men crowded around the table
to watch the game.
Five thousand dollars is big sum, young
men, said an old man who had been playing
billiards and neither of you look able to lose
that much. Don make fools Of yourselves.
Don't play for that amount"
But he was told to mind his business, and
the game was begun.
It was close. Each got seven balls. and the
fight came for the last one.
Number One had first shot, leaving a set-up
for Number Two, and he put the ball in a
pocket.
The spectators, who had been watching the
game. almost holding their breaths, let forth
a cheer and looked to see what Number One
would do or say
Come let's settle up. How much do l owe
you:' said he unconCernedly.
Five thousand ems at 40 cents thousand.
That makes 81 Come on in next door and

breaths, swore at the printers, and then

Sinking of the Victoria.

The sinking off Tripoli of the British
battle ship Victoria, the flag ship of the
Mediterranean squadron, by which four
hundred lives were lost, full account of,
which appears in our dispatches this
morning, causes a profound feeling of sad
ness throughout the civilized world. The
sinking of the great ship was an accident,
but whether or not the accident was due
TO negligence or carlessness is a question
that will be determined by court of in
quiry.
This magnificent vessel, with most of
her officers and crew, were sent to the
bottom Of the sea by a sister ship with
scarcely moments warning The squad
rem was maneuvering, and the Camper
downs ram knocked a great hole in the
side of the Victoria.
1t seems strange that bulkheads of
steamers are so seldom closed at the
time when their safety depends upon
their being closed. Had the Victoria's
bulkheads been shut she would have sur
vived the injury she received.
1t is sad indeed to contemplate the
death of so many gallant officers and
brave men. But moment before the
calamity they were in the enjoyment of
health and looked forward to the time
when their term in n distant station
would end, and they would return
to those dear to them. Unexpectedly
and in the twinkling of an eye disaster
came, and they We're cut off forever from
all they lived and hoped for in this world
from wives, children, sweethearts, home
and happiness. From the bright sunlight
they sank to the darkness of the bottom
of the deep sea-
The sinking of the Victoria and the loss
of her officers and crew recalls the disas-
ter that befell the Royal George, a Brit
ish man-of-war, the sudden sinking of
which in Portsmouth harbor with all on
board, Aug. 30, 1882, created a widespread
feeling of sorrow and commiseration. The
vessel was the principal one >of Lord
Homes feet She was undergoing re-
pairs and was heeled over so as to enable
the workmen to get at her keel.
Water began running into her
ports, and before she could be
righted she filled and went to the bottom.
There were about l, 100 people on board at
the time including 800 women and children.
The admiral and nearly all the officers
and crew were lost, besides most of those
who were visiting the vessel Only about
200 of the LOO were saved. The calamity
was celebrated in an elegy by Cooper.
There were some sadder features in the
sinking of the Royal George than in that
of the Victoria. but the Victoria calamity
is sad enough to touch all hearts with
sorrow.

A great reunion of Confederate veter-
ans will be held at Birmingham, Ala, on
July 70 and 20, after which an excursion
train, for the accommodation of veterans,
will be run to Chicago in time for the
unwilling, in that city, of the first Con
fedorate monument ever erected upon
northern soil. The excursion will be
timed so that the visitors may spend four
days at the Worlds Fair. The fare for
the excursion will be about $40 The
officers of the United Confederate Veter-
ans urge that camps of the association be
at once formed, wherever there are old
soldiers of the South, in order that the
Birmingham reunion and the Chicago
unwilling may be well attended. New
camps will be received into the central
organization up to the last moment. Fiji
teen to twenty-five members will be sufi-
Gent to constitute camp.

The second ballotings in Germany be-

day and Monday, and it is very likely
~ that still other elections will follow.
Germany, in the matter of elections, is a

is diminutive Germany, as their ballot
laws arc similar in that a
majority over all necessary to an cleo
ton. Rhode Island began balloting un.
der her ajority-over-all law last Novom-
