ITHE HEAVENLY TWINS.

The Omaha Bee and the Sacramento
Bee, both Republican newspapers, ar
entitled TO the distinction Of being
named after the troublesome children
ia the late novel by that name. The
Bees bolted the Republican nominees
for the governorshlps 10 CaIifOrnia and
Nebraska and both candidates weie
defeated, ia spite Of the Republican
landslide that carried every man on the
Republican ticket into Office In every
other Northern state in the UniOr.
Like the Heavenly Twins in the book,
these naughty children Of the Republi.
can party had their own way. And,
still further, they were right Under
the same circumstances ia an of year,
these editors would have beaten the
men they fought by at least fifty thou
sand. As II was, Este and MajoTs
were beaten by scratch.
Men vino are engaged iD politics per
baps should never bolt. But private
citizens, even though conducting a
newspaper, have q perfect right 10 bolt
soy man on the ticket, II that n0mina-
ton was secured by frand Or tbs oaDdi'
date dOes not represent the principles
Of the party he stands for, or preiends
10 represent. Both Of thess editors,
who are IN closer touch with the peo-
pie than the political managers, warned
the lsspublleaD party that ibess pomi'
naliens would lead " defeat, aud that
they would not support the nonineeg.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Bi-Metallic Congress.

LONDON, May Sat the morning
, session of the International Bi-metal-
lie conference ut the Mansion House,
Sir VIM. H. Houldsworth read a
paper on the SELECTS upon sgr-
culturists, manufacturers, wage
earners. merchants, bankers and in.
vestors of the fall in general level Of
prices"
M. Theurey, a French delegate,
warmly urged the establishment Of
the International Bi-.metallic League.
The proposal was cordially supported.
A pamphlet upon the silver question
just published by Sir Joseph McKen-
ma, ex-Director Of the National Bank
Of Ireland, is creating a sensation in
financial circles and the Bi-metallic
conference. 1t is devoted to- proving
that Lord Liverpool's legislation in
1916 was simply fraud, the object
being to cheat the public out OF four
chill ;ngs in each pound, troy weight
of the new coin. 1t 10 added that
Lord Liverpool made a paItry gain
rot for himself, but for the treasury.
Sir Joseph McKenna acquits Lord
liverpool of being Intentionally dis
honest and attributes the fraud to
stupidity.
The silverites claim that when this
is understood, it will strongly in
fuence public opinion in favor
of the re-establishment Of bi-metal-
lism.
WASHINGTON, May 3-The follow
ing cablegram WAS sent to Lord May
or Of London, apropos Of the Metallic
Conference: 1--WE desire to express
our cordial sympathy with the move
ment to promote tho restoration Of
silver by international agreement in
the aid of which we understand the
meeting is held under your Lordship's
presidency. Ne believe that free
coinage Of both gold and silver by in
ternational agreement, with q fixed
ratio, would secure to mankind the
blessing af q sufficient volume of me-
tallic money and what Is hardly less
important, secure 10 the world Of
trade, immunity from violent ex-
change fluctuations.

loving Senators who voted for the re-
peal Of the Sherman law: John

MORE REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

As election after election is held and
the Democratic party meets with defeat
after defeat the conviction ought to
force itself home on the national
leaders of that party that 1T is
time to call halt on the destruc-
tive tariff policy of the party and in
quire into the conditions that are lead
ing up to this wholesale rejection OF
Democratic rule. Democratic strong
holds are yielding now, and the most
marked instance yet seen is the over
throw of the Democracy in Bidde-
ford, Me-, yesterday where, for years,
in Tom Reeds own district,
the Democrats have controlled mu-
nicipal affairs. The election Of Re
publican Mayor and City Government
was unthought of, and one would
have been reckoned among the
rainbow chasers who dared to predict
any such result. Yet every ward in
the city went Republican yester-
day and the Republican candidate
for MAYOR was triumphantly elected.
Biddeford has been reckoned as the
Gibralter of the Democracy in Maine,
and it has capitulated. One OF
tho biggest mill towns in New
England, its people are showing their
unwillingness to longer follow party
that not only aims at the obstruction OF
their industries, but also saddles them
with load of indebtedness. Augusta,
which last year had Democratic
Mayor, Board Of Aldermen, and all but
three of the Council Democrats, this year
has Republican Mayor and Republican
city officials in six out of seven wards.
The Republican tidal wave is still
sweeping onward and gathers strength
as it goes. Rhode Island will
soon add its strength to the wave and
the Republican victory now close at
hand in this State, will. like the Republic
can success elsewhere, shine out as a
hopeful beacon to others soon to pass
into the storm of an election.

THE rwo-LOOM QUESTION.

The agitation going on at present in
some of the manufacturing districts
among the weayers upon the question of
running or not running two looms, and
the opposition thereto on the part Of a
great many, is based more upon senti-
ment than on common sense.
Some claim that two looms cannot b.
run successfully by one weaver, where
rs the objections from others are that
il one weaver operates two looms the
fact OF his doing 50 deprves another
weaver from his share of the work.
In answer to the first proposition, il
can be positively stated that twoloom
work is never attempted by manufao-
turer, excepting with such goods as can
be produced perfectly aud remunera-

lively TO the manufacturer. as well as to
the weaver, by such a system. and as the
manufacturer has TO stand the loss if he
errs in judgment, it is safe to assume
that he will not compel his weavers TO
weave such cloth on two looms as will
insure him poor work and consequent
loss
In answer to the second propositions,
it is not question of choice with the
manufacturer of weaving certain goods
on either the one-loom or two-loom sys-
tenn, but it is the question of weaving
such goods for certain price per yard
or not make them at all, and therefore
the weavers who from sentiment refuses
to run two looms only deprive them
selves and many others Of a certain
amount Of work which can only be pro-
duced on a two-loom basis in order TO
compete with prevailing market prices
Of both foreign and domestic products.
Such goods as the manufacturers ask
their weavers to produce on two looms,
and to which some of the latter demur,
are all made thus in England, and also
by some OF the leading American mills.
The two-loom system should be given a
fair trial, as it is being in certain nils
in this locality, and the question will
settle itself without any friction or dis
turbance.
