Cholera is again spreading in Eu-

The Now York Recorder, a sound
 republican paper, strongly fayors
 bimetalism.
 The latest news from Washington
 indicates that Congress will repeal
 the sherman act without furnish
 ing a substitute for the coinage of
 silver
 The women of Utah have organ
 ized on behalf of silver and have
 issued an appeal to the women of
 all the silver states to follow their
 example.
 c. Meyer Zulick, the New Jersey
 midget, has been in Washington
 now for, lo, these many months try
 ing to secure the removal of repub-
 lican ofilce-holders. Information
 comes from there that he has filed
 enough charges of offensive parti-
 zanship against certain officials to
 bury man, of his size, three IT four
 times over. During the earlier
 days of Mir. Cleveland's administra-
 ton, this same fellow had his ex- i penseS paid to go to Washington,
 to dictate the appointment of a
 governor and other officials Up
 to date, not a single individual,
 whom he has endorsed, has receiv-
 ed an appointment, but the little
 fellow keeps pecking away His
 persistency can not but attract ones
 admiration. Zulickism is, however,
 at discount with the 'administra-
 tion, just as 1t is in Arizona.
 The recent United States grand
 jury held in Prescott, which was
 virtually presided over by W. K.
 Meade. an Arizona worlds fair
 commissioner, had the power to in
 vestigate the condnct of the Board
 of which he was a member; and ronder some gocd service to the lax
 payers, Tn showing where the money went to that belonged to the peo- pie. Instead of doing this however a whole lot of individual perse.u- tions were ordered of n criminal nature. How consistent some mon are, after all, and why is it that Mir. Meade assailed the penitentiary and then faltered in the discharge l of a sacred duty when it came to | handling the acts of political 1 Jugg CTS and treasury wreckers.
 In his speech on the silver ques- tion, Senator Hill said: Il shall ! refuse to follow in the footsteps of | any administration that seeks lo place the democratic party in a false position but seeks to lead 1t away from the path of safety, away from democratic principles and platforms and into the very camp of the eneUly. The president must rely upon re- publican votes to carry out any such suici ial policy. shall not beliese, however, that any such course will be taken by the president of his own volition, or even under the in- Spiratiun of indiscreet advisors. un- til clearer evidence shall be furni h. ed than now exists. No one, be he . democrat, republican or populi7t, should be deterred from voting for this bill simply because 1t Is hal nd IS an administration measure. That furnishes no argument either .or pr against it. l resent the imperti- nent suggestion of those sycophalts who are constantly posing as lh ne personal or especial friends of the administration, and who whisper in our ears every day that the adm n- istration wants this and does not want that, and we must not vote so Is to displease the administration"
 The passage by the House of the { Wilson bill, which repeals the pur- chasing clause of the sherman act. was by no means a surprise. o That it should pass by such an overwhelming majority, how ever. Is a great surprise The country had been led to believe | that the friends of silver, in the House, numbered considerably U more than the vote i.dicates The ; vote on the various propositions shows very clearly two things. First, the power of President Cleye- and over his party Several demo .ratic members of Congress who t lave heretofore been very pro- " bounced in their views in favor of Q silver, at the last moment fell down s before the golden calf, at the insti- u ation of the president and voted. S' lot only against their own express d convictions, but against the g principles laid down in their na- ional platform. The second point tl hown by the vote Is that the ID representatives of the people have 10 respect for their party platform. The republican national platform h. vas very pronounced on the ques- al ion of bi-metalsm, the following ng being the language used: "The American people, from tradition m nd interest, favor bi-metalism, and ti he Republican party demands the tn se of both gold and silver as stand ,, rd money While not SO pro- o' ounced as above. the democratic ne ,latform contained a clause very lmilar in it's import Republican in lembers may excuse their voting t;, gainst silver and against the above ''> lank in their platform by claiming to nat inasmuch as the national plat E' ,rm was not endorsed by the ae otes of the people they are oIv, I Ot bound by it, but prefer to lrow the responsibility of legisla- 'an on upon the party in power The thu 'legraphic news says that thirteen Go 'publicans voted in favor of the ass hite metal. With those thirteen do ,tes and the solid vote of the members, in accordance ith their platform. which was en- PIT ,rsed by the people, there should , we been a clean majority in favor ;o' bimetalism.
