A SILVER FANATIC"

Ex-Democratic Congressman MAC
DONALD, recently the POpuliSt candidate
for attorney general, accepting a place
among the ''silyer fanatics" excerpts to
the opinions expressed by the GLOBE on
the coinage and financial questions. As
the columns of this paper have attested
on several occasions, MI. MACDONALD
has become an earnest, and the GLOB L
believes a sincere, convert from the
principles of Democracy to those of pa
ternalism in that ultra form advocated
by the Populists. While the GLOBE
admits the right of any Democrat to
make so radical a change in his convic-
tions, it reserves the privilege OF Won
dering at it.
The GLOBE argues these questions
from the undisputed principles of its
party. 1t does not believe that those
principles have changed whit because
Mr.. MACDONALD and those Democrats
to whom he refers have altered their
views of the Urinary functions of gov
eminent or the principles on which it
should be based. 1t does not alter the
case if Democrats were participants in
the enactment of the laws which have
produced the present financial compli-
cations. If they were wrong, being
Democrats can't make them right, nor
should that fact exempt them from crit
icism by Democratic paper.
The GLOBE holds these propositions
to be both Democratic and right: 1t is
not function of government TO make
money; its province being exhausted
when it has ascertained values and de-
clared them. 1t is not the province of
a government to furnish money. 1t is
not the province of government to reg
ulate or create values. All Of our pres
ent difficulties are traceable directly to
the ignoring of one or all OF these
propositions. The BLAND-ALLISON
and the SHERMAN acts are attempts to
have the government make money.
The dollars coined are not dollars.
They are merely discs of metal, worth
now 64 cents. which the government
obliges its citizens to take in payment
of debts for 100 cents. The note
issues are not money. but prom
iseS to pay money. 1t is not the
province of the government to furnish
money. A great emergency like the
civil war may compel it to furnish a
representative of money, but they are
only promises to pay money. Had the
government followed MCCULLOCH'S
counsel, it would make no difference to
it today whether gold were flowing into
or out of the country; the greenbacks
would have gone into an honorable re-
tirement long ago.
But the GLOBE doubts the utility of
serious argument with any one who
maintains that any government can
take O. cents worth of fine silver and
stamp it dollar, and really make it an
"honest debt-paying dollar" There are
some propositions that are beyond the
reach of argument or reason, and this is
one of them.

THE MILLS REVIVAL.

The preparations for the MILLS re
vival indicate that this Will be the
greatest religious awakening ever had
in st. Paul. The city will be canvassed
by 200 people, and every man, woman
and young person will be apprlsed per-
sonally of the occasion and urged to at
tend. A chorus of 500 voices is drilling
TO lead the singing at each meeting.
The members of nearly all the Protest
ant churches are working together,
without regard to creed. i'll the inter
ests of the awakening.
Mr.. MILLS has met with marvellous
results wherever he has been, and there
is every reason to believe That he Will
meet with as great success i'll st. Paul
as at any other place. The elaborate
preparations must arouse interest from
the start. Thousands of people Will at
tend the first meetings from no other
motive than of curiosity to near the
great chorus and see what a gathering
of 5000 people loOkslike.
Elderly people must be impressed
with the difference between the meth
DDS of such arevival and those of the one
of forty years ago. Many of them Will
recall the days of PETER CARTWRIGHT,
who used to ride on horseback from one
settlement to another of Kentucky, at
tract the rough backwoOdsmen into a
grove, and preach to them in tones
which could be heard a mile away.
Instrumental music was considered I'M
holy in those times. The preacher led
the singing, lining the words to the
congregation, so that it might join III
and swell the volume of sound. The
sturdy old pioneer was as ready to night
for religion as to pray, and once over
powered giant blacksmith, who at
tempted to whip and drive him out Of
the settlement, and refused to let him
arise to his feet until he had repeated
the Lords Prayer as CARTWRIGHT lined
it to him. The blacksmith soon after
ward experienced religion and held re-
vivals of his own.
The revivalists of the Northern states
conducted their meetings in the print
tive way. 1t was no uncommon thing
for an entire community to become con-
verted on one of these occasions. But
the old way has disappeared before the
different methods of thought and action
which have sprung up, and the revival
must keep pace with the times.

ITS JOURNEY ENDED.
The Old Liberty Bell Arrives in
Chicago Amid a Blaze of
Rockets.
Three Housing Cheers Given the
Precious Relic That Heralded~
Freedom.

CHICAGO. April 2S.-Amid the blaze
of rockets and Roman candles, and well
coined by the shouts of the crowd of
people that had gathered at the union
depot, the westward railroad journey of
the old Liberty bell came to all end to-
night The reception at the depot
proper was informal, the only official
delegation on hand to greet it being
a squad of ten picked policemen from
the central squad. A reception had,
however, been already accorded the
famous relic and its distinguished escort
by special committees from the city
council, the Sons of Pennsylvania and
the worlds fair committee on cere-
monies. These gentlemen had gone
out on a special and met the train bear
ing the bell at the state line.
As the train with the bell came under
the depot shed abOu. ~ o'clock tonight,
rockets and Roman candles were fired
from the special platform car upon
which the bell was carried. The
thrOng gathered outside the iron
fence which serves TO keep the
public from the tracks. gave vent to
loud cheer, and made a wild rush
for the gates. Dozens of men were I'M

ure, began to climb over the fence.
When the train came to standstill
Aid. John O'Neill, of Chicago, stepped to
the front of the platform and called
for three cneerS for the old bell.
These were given with will. and the
alderman called for three cheers for
Philadelphia. A hearty response was
made. Then Aid. Patton, of PhIadel-
phia, stepped to the front, carrying a
small American flag. and called for
three cheers for "Old Glory" The yell
that went up nearly broke the glass in
the roof of the station.
When the uprOar ceased, Mayor Stu
art, of Philadelphia. was called FOR. He
responded with brief speech in which
he expressed the qualification it afford
ed Philadelphia to give Chicago and
the world chance to venerate the
bell which first announced to the
people the freedom of a nation.
After this the Philadelphia committee
was escorted to the Auditorium hotel,
where apartments had been reserved
for it. The platform car with its pre-
cious freight was switched to siding
at one end of the depot, where it
will remain until $50 Saturday
removed to truck especially
prepared and at 2:30 p. M, escorted by
troop of cavalry, with mounted police
and infantry regiments in front and
rear, will be taken through some of the
principal streets of the city; past the
quarters OF President Cleveland, who
will deliver brief address. and thence
to its resting place at the worlds fair
grounds.

SQUEEZED IT'S LIFE OUT.
Chief Rival OF the Standard Oil
Company Crushed.

FINDLAY. o., April est came to
light today that the Standard OIL COM
pany has, after year of careful ma
neuvering. secured entire control of its
chief rival, the Manhattan Oil COM
pany, and the latter has become en-
trely merged. The Manhattan has
been for four years the chief, and
probably the only rival of the Standard
in the Ohio field. The company was
organized by the company that owns the
Ohio coal mines. The Manhatta n
forced the Standard to raise the price of
Ohio oil from Is cents per barrel to 4S
cents by paying an advance of cents.
1t built immense refneries at Town
send, WelKer and other points through
out the state, and made itself
a dangerous rival. To do this it mas
sunk millions and has died hard death.
During the past year the Manhattan
has made heavy contracts to supply
oil. and, upon learning this, the
Standard began buying oil at an
advanced price to squeeze the Manhat-
tan out. The price of oil rose, and the
Manhattan is said to have lost millions
through it. This is the largest oil deal
ever made in the state. The property
transferred by the deal is valued at S15,-
100000.

1t Must Be Repealed.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
We may manage for some time to
keep enough gold on hand to maintain
the national credit. but this much Is GER
tain: AS long as the present silver law
continues in operation the tendency
will be, as sure as the law of gravita-
ton, to drag gold out of the treasury.
With this law in effect the gold reserve,
build it up as we may, will not remain
for any length of time much larger than
it is now, and will ultimately disappear
altogether. The next congress must
either repeal the Sherman law or be
responsible for consequences which no
politician would dare willingly assume.

THE LIBERTY BELL.

The Liberty bell. relic of our national
birth, in its triumphai tour to Chicago,
is greeted at every station with an en-
thusiasm which awakens the impulses
of patriotism in the heart of every
American who sees or reads of it. The
pOpujace of every country is more or
less patriotic; but we are proud to be-
lieve that Americans are the most pa
trlotic of all. The world rolled on
through all the centuries of the civiliZa-
ton of Athens and Rome, and through
all the centuries of English, German
and French greatness, to find only in
the young republic of America a man
who could write ''HOme, Sweet Home"
Our deep affection for home and cOun-
try arises not from difference of blood,
for we are all descendants of European
stock. 1t comes from the circumstances
which brought our nation into existence,
and the mold given the country by its
grand founders. The stories of the
throwing overheard the cargo of tea In
the Boston harbor, the declaration of
Independence. the ringing of the Lib
erty bell, and the struggles on the
fields Of battle of the little army of pa
triots to secure freedom from a great
and powerful nation, which oppressed
them, are inspiring to us all, and we
read them over and over with renewed
pleasure.
Our~broad land of fertile prairles,
forests, mountains. rivers and lakes
teens with prosperity, and fills us with a
constant sense of greatness. Every per-
son is conscious that he is part of the
government, and he is filled with the
spirit of freedom-the liberty which
this bell rang in over century ago.
The bell was made in England, but
the sturdy defenders of liberty had it
recast in America, so that it might ring
the notes of freedom the clearer, and
stand as an emblem of American prin-
eiples. Long its notes echoed across the

ton Of Ore Prices.
ASHLAND, Wis, April 2S.-In the
great game between the Illinois Steel
company, the Carnegies and other big
steel producers and the iron ore
companies of this region a startling
move was made tonight when all the
mines excepting the Aurora were closed
down indefinitely. The Aurora belongs
to the Wisconsin Central syndicate coll
trolled by j. ii. Colby, Colgate Hoyt
and other stockholders in the American
Steel Barge company. Ever since the
close of navigation last fall, the Illinois
Steel company and the Carnegie firm
have been endeavOring to force the
price of Bessemer ore down to $3.50
per ton. The ore mining companies
stoutly resisted the movement, which
would have resulted in the annihilation
of profits in many cases. The entire
business interests of the iron mining
region will be paralyZed if the deadlock
should long continue.
