CLOUDS KEEP BACK CROWDS.
Gloomy Day at the Fair-Word About
Wisconsin Exhibits.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-This was another
gloomy day at the worlds fair and
many people who intended to gn were
scared away by tie threatening clouds.
1t was carriage makers day and large
numbers of that craft are present
The Wisconsin board of worlds fair
managers held a meeting but did not
transact much business. The Ga.e for
selling the state building at public auc-
ton was not fixed. This and other
matters in connection with the winding
up Of affairs will be arranged at the
adjourned meeting to be held Oct Is.
The disposal of the various exhibits
has practically been agreed upon. The
educational display will go back 10 the
various schools and public institutions
whence they came.
The agricultural exhibit goes 20 the
State Agricultural society's rooms at
Madison, where it will be maintained
with the exhibit now there from the
centennial. The mining exhibits will
also probably be turned over to the
state.

New Orleans, Oct. 6.-The aftermath

destruction.
On Chenier CaJnpina the climax

built was torn and rent.

SHOOT A SQUAW AND SKIP.

Tomahawk, Wis, Oct. 6-Hunters
on the Spint river, three miles south Of
this city, shot and severely injured a
squaw yesterday, mistaking her for
deer. A charge of buckshot entered
her side, causing injuries that may
prove fatal.
The hunters left the woman where
she fell, probably being too frightened
to obtain medical attendance. She was
found few hours later by her hus-
band. The Indians are caring for her.

The goldbug Of the East. when elabor.
ating on the cost of producing silver, in
variably points to q of the few bo-
nanza mines in this country, but fails to
notice hundreds Of other producing mines
where the value Of the output is hardly
equal to the cost Of production. Neither
does he take into account the money
spent in dead work, in prospecting or in
mines that never paid a cent. If one
wishes to figure out the exact cost of pro
ducing an ounce Of silver. all Of these
expenditures must be considered. 1t ia
radically wrong to base such an estimate
on the product Of an exceptionally rich
mine.-Salt Lake Mining Journal.

By the action Of the President on We'd
nesday Of last week. which will no doubt
be supplemented by acts Of Congress, we
presume that the Hawaiian Kingdom will
become a part OF the great Republic.
probably before the 4th day Of March.
IL is right that it should be so. Thus
far in obtaining new territory, the United
States has never taken one acre by con-
quest except from the Indians. Louisi-
ana was bought, Arizona wac bought,
New Mexico and California were bought.
Il is just forty years ago since the Presi-
dent Of the United States tried to buy
the Hawaiian Islands. The old King
was willing and negotiations went on all
right, but he suddenly died, and when
his son succeeded his irst act was to de-
clare the negotiations void. In the same
way the Government was then trying to
buy Cuba, but Spain declined to sell, and
those negotiations were off. Later, an
additional bargain was made for San Do.
mingo, and we belive st. Thomas, but
the Senate failed to confirm the negotia-
tions OF the executive. Alaska was
bought at the price fixed by Russis. SO,
unlike any other country in the world,
our Nation stands before the world as a
power that never yet has used its might
to obtain territory. 1t has not an acre
outside Of the original lands which were
taken under the law of discovery that 1t
has not p~orchased, or which has not come
as Texas did, voluntarily, aud asked Tor
admission. This being the case, and the
real substantial men Of Hawaii having
asked for admission, we do not see how
our country can refuse to accept the gift.
and we do not see on what grounds any
foreign country can object. The Islands
State will no doubt in a few days become
a part of the United States. -Salt Lake

A GOLD X.

Plutocracy is clamoring for the repeal
Of the silver purchase act. They fear a
gold frmine as the result of the continued
conversion into gold Of the treasury notes
paid out for silver. The fact is that the
gold famine is here, as predicted by 6nan
cial reformers for years. Two hundred
millions of gold will probably be sent
across the ocean by the lst Of July to
pay interest on American contracts to
pay gold which are held principally in
London. Let the gold famine come. The
sooner the better. 1t will be followed
by . famine for money Of any kind, and
Uncle Sam has 3 large supply of silver
ready to meet the emergency, to say
nothing Of the power to create a full legal
tender paper. The logic Of events will
force the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver ct q ratio Of not more than l6 to l.
The demand for money of some kind will
be SO pressing that the Government will
be forced to act, and with the present
temper of the people the issue of bonds
will not be submitted to. There will be
nothing left for even Wall street to do
but to make a scramble for silver. The
short-sighted avarice Of the goldbugs will
work their W destruction. The single
gold standard is a fallacy and they know
it, but they are urging it for the purpose
Of forcing the Government to issue more
gold bearing bonds. If this fails they
will be glad to get money Of any kind.
This is the direction in which the "stern
logic Of events" seems to be pointing.
Look out for developments. The 6nan-
cial situation is becoming very effective.

coon EXAMPLE.

The 81. Louis Republic says the con
vietion Of the Panama swindlers is good
news 10 the friends Of honest government
everywhere. II shows that the French
Republic has In IL the elements OF psrma'
nency, and il encourages the people oil
the United States TO hope that they may
yet be able to bring to justice some OF
the scoundrels who think that high posi-
tion 10 . sufficient warrant for any crime
they may end TO their advantage.
1t has been many years since we have
been able to make such an example as
the French are making now. Without
doubt the public life Of Washington is
fully 90 corrupt as that Of Paris. ii the
men who enter our Senate are not mill
i~onaires at the start. some Of them are
only too apt to become millionaires be-
fore their retirement. This may not be
done by actual theft from the Treasury
or by actual bribe-taking. bat the meth
DDS by which some Of our public men en-
rich themselves are often worse than
theft or bribe-tsking. II cannot have
been forgotten that when the Sherman
law was passed, in spite Of the strong
protests against. it as q measure Of dis
honest speculation, it was found thai
members Of both the House and Senate
had put money into speculative pools the
profits from which det ,nded on the pas
sage Of the bill. This wal a worse crime
against the people than that committed
by De Lesseps, but instead Of being in
the penitentiary, where they deserve te
be, most OF these Senators and Congress
men are still in Congress, ready to lend
their influence for fresh infsmies.
The means used to procure the passage
Of the Sherman act are a fair sample oil
methods used to control legislation in the
interest Of spectators or Of capitalists
who wish to force from the people greater
privileges for themselves at the expense
Of public right. Yet it seems impossible
to secure the conviction Of the guilty.
They form e close corporation, and il a
member of the House or Senate is in dan
ger Of being detected they can be relied
upon to rally to his support and shut of
investigation in the expectation of a re-
turn of the favor should occasion require
il.
The demoralizing effect Of this c%ontin-
ued immunity in doubtful practices il
seen in the large vote cast in the Senate
in favor Of surrenderiDg political fugi.
tives demanded by the Russian despot.
Such q vote would never have been pos
sible in the days when the character OF
the Senate was above suspicion, but it is
hardly surprising as that body is at pres.
esnt constituted.
Nothing would do more to restore pub.
lie confidence in the stability Of republic
can institutions than action in America
similar to that France has taken. If we
could once get the stripes of a convict on
a rascal regardless Of the fact that he had
committed his crimes as q high public
official. we could hope to perpesuate gov.
eminent Of. for and by the people.
