A STORY OF Rourke Cochran.

Bourke Cochran has now become so
marked a figure before the country that
nearly everyone had forgotten that he had
dropped out of public life for a couple OF
years with avOwed intention Of never enter
ing again. They tell funny story about
In the early sos Cochran had obtained q
good deal OF local fame as an orator, both at
the bar and in democratic conventions. and
his friends had urged him to go to congress
and make his reputation national He was
ccordingly elected to the Fiftieth congress,
but, being a new man and unacquainted with
parliamentary practice, no scope was given
him for the display of his peculiar talents
Before his first session was over he was so
disguised that he refused to run again and
Roswell 2. Flower was elected in his stead
One day in the summer OF 1890 he met in the
street an old friend of his, Franklin Bartlett
clever young lawyer of high social standing
and fellow member Of Tammany Hall. They
stopped 70 chat moment, when Bartlett
said
"Bourke, am thinking of making run
this fall for your old seat in congress. Mr.
Croker tells me that Flower doesn't want II
again and that he offered it to you, and you
wouldn't touch it, Ihave an idea should like
the experience am to give him my answer
tomorrow"
We'll my boy" said Cochran, II wish YOU
JOY. got enough Of the job in less than three
months. Washington simply wore my soul
out. A coach and six horses couldn't drag
me back there"
That s just the trouble" argued Bartlett
You didn t stay long enough. The only in
ducement for an active man to go to congress
is the opening it offers for a career; but you
can't achieve a career in three months. Look
at some Of those southern fellows. They go
back term after term making little Roadway
at first but gradually becoming better ac-
quainted with their duties and the methods
Of legislation. BY and by the country finds
them out, and then they work their way into
history"
Well" answered Cochran thoughtfully
4 dare say there is something in your idea
l had never looked at the matter in Just that
light"
The next morning Bartlett concluded to ae-
cept the nomination and dropped in upon
Croker to say so.
You are too late, Bartlett" remarked the
Tammany dictator, with smile, that place
is pre- empted
You astonish me. - exclaimed Bartlett, Il
was not aware that YOU had offered it to any
one except Bourke Cochran. who didn't care
to consider the proposal at all"
That's true said Croker. but Bourke
called ten minutes ago to say he had changed
his mind"

Goldman and Lease.

During the recent socialistic demon
strations in New York city Emma Gold
man, the companion of Berckman, the as
sassin, made speech advising the des-
perate men who heard her to arm them
selves and put down by force those who
opposed them. Especially did she advise
that policemen and capitalists be shot
The Goldman woman professed to be a
leader in a certain revolution for univer-
sal brotherhood and government without
law
In speech before the Pennsylvania
farmers at Mt. Gretna, the other day,
Mrs. Mary f. Lease, of Kansas, told her
audience: "On the broad sun kissed fields
of Kansas we raise hemp enough to hang
every enemy to- free silver and every
traitor to the nation" Mrs. Lease pro-
fesses to be a leader of an exalted polit-
ical policy dominated by brains and
founded upon equality, and the prophecies
of a religion superior to that of the cross.
But wherein is the doctrine of Gold
man essentially different from that of
Lease? Goldman openly advises the
Shooting of capitalists; Lease covertly
advises that gold bugs" be hanged 1t
is probable that each would accept the
means Of disposing of their bugbears sug-
gosted by the other; and if they should
be sent out to rid the earth of the zen
emies of mankind they would, no doubt,
attack the same persons.
1t is fortunate, however, that the rant
ings Of these two extraordinary women
can have no i'll effect upon the country at
large. The people who were addressed by
the Goldman woman are constantly under
the police eye and would be dealt with
summarily and severely if they should at
tempt to put her advice into practice.
The people addressed by Mrs. Lease were
farmers. And they have too much com
mon sense to take seriously any such in
cendiary talk as she has been pouring out
upon them. They listened to her the
other day with establishment. In the
near future they will repudiate her and
she viii return to the obscurity from
which she recently emerged

Senator Jones, of Nevada. is now a ram
pant siiycrite. He is SO much In favor of
free silver coinage that he is ready 20
force upon the country a debased currcn-
cy There was time. however, when he
used AL his eloqucnce and logic in favor
Of sound currency. That was years ago,
when the Ereenback craze had firm
grip upon a large portion OF the people
Ina speech al that time in the Senate,
speaking Of the appeal that had been
made in behalf Of the debtor states, " he
said
d Most Of the representatives here Of
states that are claimed 10 be debtor
states desire an increase Of this currency.
I say TO them that no nation can be strong
and be dishonest; no nation can be strong
and attempt 10 confscate the property of
one citizen and give it 10 another; no ma
tion can make money plenty when it says
to the creditor who has loaned it, You
shall receive back only portion Of what
YOU have loaned in full satisfaction of the
debt. A spoliation OF this character viii
take away the inducement for the crea-
tion and accumulation of property, and
if such policy continues, 1 venture the
prediction that the time is not far dis
tant when. as was said in the times of
the worthless Continental money, the
hard-hearted and nimble-footed debtor
viii pursue his fugitive creditor and win
pay him without pity and without re-
morse
And this same Senator Jones was then
in favor of a gold standard. In the
speech alread referred to he said:
Does this congress mean now to leave
entirely out of view and to discard for
ever a standard of valuel Did any coun-
try ever accumulate wealth. achieve
greatness, or attain high civilization
without such standard? And what but
gold can be that Standard What other
thing on earth possesses the requisite
qualities?"
Why is Senator Jones, who once stood
up so squarely for sound money and a
gold standard, p. now favoring legislation
that would bring a silver standard and a
debased currency Can anybody give any
other reason than that he is now largely
interested in silver mines? He may
have been interested in silver
mines when he spoke for sound
money and a gold standard, but
silver was not then cheap as it is now,
It commanded a high price, and Senator
Jones had no occasion 50 ask for legisla-
ton favoring it. But the situation has
changed Over production has made sill
yer cheap, and Senator Jones would like
to'make the people help the silver pro-
ducsrs bear their losses.
1t does not look as if Senator Jones
was an unbiased and fair minded legisla-
tor. Indeed, it is question whether he
is qualified to protect the interests of the
people. His own interests seem to be in
tluencing his judgment at present.

The matter Of dealing with derel'ct ves-
sells az sea. recently considered by the New
York Maritime Exchange, has, since the
great storm. become more than ever a mat
ter Of interest 10 this port. For the num-
Der Of dereIcts 20 which the attention OF
the New York body was called has I'M
doubleday been greatly increased during
the past week, and many Of them are
drifting about in the paths of commerce
between savannah and domestic and for
eign ports
There are probably more than
hundred derelicts, some bot
tom up, others water-logged on
their keels, and still others rolling at the
caprice OF tie waves, in the Atlantic
Their field is, indeed "a large one; they
are as specks upon sheet of
news paper. Nevertheless, they are
constant mcnaces to both freight and
passenger vessels If. during a fog or
the thick blackness Of a stormy night,
a heavy steamer under Roadway should
strike one of these unyielding water
logged wrecks. the effect would be about
the same as if she had struck an iceberg or
been struck by the ram of q war ship. The
chances of disaster would be decidedly
favora bic. The newspapers might be
called upon 10 chronicle another mys-
FERROUS disappearance Of ship, crew and
passengers, similar to that of the Inflated
Naronic Indeed, a derelict may have
sent the Naronic to the bottom, with all
on board.
The necessity for the destruction of the
derelicts is patent. But by whom shall II
be donel The derelicts infest not Ameri-
can waters alone, but the high seas and
the waters of other nations A dere-
lict may be off Hatteras to-day
and off the Irish coast within a few
weeks. Therefore, it is not right that
this government should do all of the
work Of clearing the sea of Instructions.
Other nations should help The PROPOSE
tion of the New York Maritime Exchange
is that the United States and England
should each furnish two vessels to patrol
the ocean between the American and
British coasts for the purpose of destroy
ing derelicts. Such a distribution of
patrol duty would hardly be fair to this
government. which has not anything like
the number of ships a1oat that England
has; still there should be no haggling
over so important matter. A police of
the Atlantic should be provided in some
manner; temporarily by the navy, as
heretofore, and permanently by an inter
national agreement And the temporary
provision should be made Immediately.

In Memoriam.

Nancy was Centrals train;
Its origin was in Wadley's fertile brain.
Her dress was blue, all trimmed with gold
A streak of blue" with speed untold.
Three hundred miles she made with ease,
And tore the air just like a breeze.
For months she was the poets theme,
The drummer's ease and JOY supreme.
In her arms was peace and rest
A Heaven on earth" "Bluebirds nest"
The travellers comfort ana delight,
Was the Nancy Hanks of rapid fight.
OF noble heroes rides I've read
Ger whose graves we now with reverence
tread,
OF Clusters charge and Sheridan's ride
In days when brave and gallant men were
tried;
OF Jennie McNeil-yes, women, too
But prefer the Train of Blue
The farmer gazed from the rustling corn.
But like a fash she had passed and gone.
On her speedy wings she bore
The traveller almost TO the ocean shore;
Then back to where the hills grow higher.
In seven hours, sped the Central's FLYER.
My story is now half done,
And Nancy Hanks has ceased to run
Twas this way it came about;
Mr.. Wadley and Judge Speer fell out
Geo. Dole thought he'd best resign,
And the receiver appointed Mr. Kline.
This new man began to look around,
To see where he could cut expenses down.
.(Now, there were run two trains a day.
The Hanks and local train each wayN
Soon his eye lit on Miss Nancy,
Which did not exactly strike his fancy.
He said this blue and golden flyer
Would soon pull the road in deeper miro.
OF such train there was no need,
Therefore she must decrease her speed.
The public entreated, but all in vain.
So on August 18th she became a local train.
They run the old equipment yet,
But Nancy's star has long since set
We mourn her loss. The nation signs.
FAREWELL Adieu TO the travellers petl
The fastest train meath southern skies.

Gordon, Voorhees, and Morgan.

From the Philadelphia Record (Dem).
Senator Gordon, OF Georgia is a believer in
bimetallism; but he is OF the opinion ex-
pressed by Senators Voorhees, and Hill that
the sherman act is stumbling block and
hindrance in the way OF the free coinage Of
silver. He will vote for the repeal of the sill
Yer-purchasing clause Of the act; and the rea-
sons he gives for his vote are sound from any
point OF view. Senator Gordon and Senator
Morgan, who have both been set down as op-
posed TO repeal must both be counted hereaf-
ter as favoring the VOORHEES, bill 1t is no
derogation to the abilities OF any Of the advo-
Gates of free silver to say that Senator Nor
gan was the chiefest among them. His de-
lection must leave them without hope.

Another Falnehood Nailed

II would be impossible to enumerate all
the false statements the silverites have
made during the silver discussion. One
they made, and to which they te-
uaciously chung until Senator Hoar com
pletely refuted it in the Senate, was that
Mr.. Earnest Seyd, OF England, came over
to this country in 1878 as the agent of the
gold bugs and with $500, 600 bribed con
gress to demonetize silver No doubt the
silvorites believed this statement They
wanted to believe it, and so they accepted
it, and reiterated it without inquiring as
to It's trath
But what are the facts2 Senator Hoar
read in the Senate letter written from
London by Mr. Earnest Seyd in 1872 to
Mr. Samuel Hooper, who at the time
was chairman of the committee on bank
ing and currency. The bill to
drop the silver dollar from the currency,
which afterwards became law, was at
that time under consideration by Mr.
Hooper's committee, and Mr. Hooper had
asked Mr.. Seyd, who was regarded as an
authority on banking and currency, for
some information. The letter of Mr.
Seyd, which Senator Hoar read, made it
clear that Mr.. Seyd was not the agent of
the gold bugs" and was not gold
bug himself, He was a bimetallist, and
he urged Mr.. Hooper to use his influence
to retain the silver dollar in the currency.
And yet upon this incident was built the
story of the silverites that an English
agent with 100000 bribed the American
congress to demonetize silver. This is
specimen of the arguments of the silver
ties. Is it to be wondered at that the
people are not with theml

infohe section of the country at least.
That is, at Washington. Day before YES
terday the government paid not only the
senator's, representatives and other Off
Gals, but the whole army of clerks as

$500, 900 of the yellow metal to do that. A
good deal of gold was already in circula-
