STRAIGHT SHOT.

| AS between loose banking and
tight money, we prefer the latter.
A special session of congress will
add at least 5000 to Gov. McKin-
ley's majority in Ohio.
1t is too early to "mention" any,
body for 1896 yet. Let the friends
of aspirants wait until 1895 or later.
Zimri> Dwiggins is the only Dem
ocrat who appears to have positive
convictions upon the financial
| question.
The Missouri Democrats have not
yet received enough patronage to
compensate them for carrying a
single county.
The man who holds the Treasury
portfolio these days earns his
salary better than any other men,
Der of the Cabinet.
Cleveland feels certain anyhow
that John Sherman and the rest
of the Republicans will jump on
the Sherman law.
1t is about as difficult for a SOL
der to get pension under the
present Administrator as it is for
Republican to get an office.
The silver cranks have about as
much financial sense now as they
will get by September. Let the
extra session meet in July.
The fact that the banks are slow
to make new loans simply means
that they are taking good care Of
the interests of their depositor.
When Carlisle was in the Sem
ate he had the reputation of a first
class statesman, but now he is
chiefly known as an amateur finan-
cier.
Gov. Altgelt has done well to
send his greetings to the Princess
Eulalie, but he would do better to
disperse the Illinois legislature.
The gold in the treasury isIin-
creasing, and there are other mani
fest reasons for believing that the |
financial cloudiness will soon be
over.
One of the foregone political con-
clusions is that the reputation of
the Chicago platform will be the |
principal business of the present |
administration.
If there is any panic in this |
country it has not invaded the |
Temple of Truth. If it should |
make the attempt it would be bad |
for the panic, that's all.
All that Mr.. Cleveland has yet |
done for the colored race is to |
cOlored man to a consul |
ship that has a death warrant |
attached to the commission.
Prof. Briggs is making a mistake |
in supposing that the country |
wants him to go on trying his case.
1t has lost it's interest, and the best |
thing he can do is to subside.
Cleveland talks very nicely about |
Hawaii, but he is careful not to in
innate any intention of undoing |
the work that has been done to the |
American flag in that country.
1t will be observed that the |
Ohio Republicans are not throwing
up any breast-works. They chal-
lenge their adversaries to a fight |
in the open field, and at close |
quarters.
The rise in stocks indicates that |
investors consider the prevailing |
prices lower than the conditions |
warrant, and the volume of pur-
chases is likely, therefore, to steadi-
ly increase.

taken triumphant possession of the capital
and the late dictator had gone 90 join y
long line Of predecessors in ignominious
exile, the same scenes were re-enacted. though
on a greatly modified scale at the instigation
OF the new powers concerning suspected a3-
herents to the old regime. Night after night
during Palacios time drunken soldiers made
raids on the houses of unoffending citizens on
various pretexts, but with plumber for the real
object Rooms were searched. plate and money
seized, women insalted. and whoever dared
protest were led of to prison.
WHOLESALE ARRESTS AND PLUMBER.
Day after day fresh explosions Of dynamite
struck terror TO the hearts Of the people and
furnished the government with more excuses
for arresting innocent men. We find traces OF
those explosions all over the city. in the par
tislly shattered walls of the catheral, the mill
tary academy, the government buildings. &c,
aud In the cemetery arc scores OF graves where
lie the victims-people who happened at the

ally but all the same consigned to the
raiders pockets. During the latter half of the
year no effort was made to cultivate fields, for
no man could be sure of harvesting his crops
or Of being allowed TO keep them if matured.
Merchants fed, either hiding their money Sc
curely or taking il with them. The few man.
ufactories were closed. the workmen having all
gone to fight on one side or the other and COM
mercially the country just about gave up the
ghost. But one banking house stood unshaken
through it all. the Bank OF Venezuela" Ii is
composed OF the wealthiest merchants of Car
acas, and the failure OF a few OF them, or even
of half their number. could not seriously in
Jure il. During the early DAYS of the reyolu-
ton this bank advanced to the government the
sum OF "a. 500. 600 on condition that those ill.,
terested in the loan be allowed to collect a GER
