HIS ONLY

Colonel Breckenridge will soon regret
his conflict with the preachers. The one
appearance his anvass cannot wear with
any chance Of success is that of testing
the moral responsibility Of a representa-
tive Of the people.
ALI liberal men have charity for q
drunkard, but there can be no doubt
where decent men will stand in q body
when q test is made between intem-
perance and sobriety. All men have
compassion for the individual whose
commercial honesty has fallen before
temptation. But when the rule Of COM
mercial honesty is the issue Of a contest,
every decent man must pronounce fol
the rule.
The preacher in politics and the
woman in politics have not been f~avorite
figures. Colonel Breckenridge canno.
rely upon that feeling to protect him in
his embarrassment. A womsn's and
preachers business is to do everything
for the purity Of the home. II that il
not their business, they have very little
to do In this world.
Colonel Breckinridge's only course oil
success is to rest upon his political serv-
ices and to avoid conflict with the
| preachers and women Of Kentucky.

AN INTERNATIONAL ARMY.

An international study in sociology
has been made by the students Of Drake
University at Des Moines while the
Kelly Commonweal Army has been in
camp there. The soldiers Of the army,
or the greater part Of them, were inter-
viewed as to themselves and their her
edity, religious and political training and
other facts concerning themselves which
it believed might throw light upon the
meaning and character Of the work in
which they are now engaged.
The result as to politics is a distinct
reputation of the Chicago nter-Ocean,
which has been giving frequent editorial
space to the declaration that it is safe
to assume that not a single Republican
could be found in the marching column.
The statistics show 240 Populists, 2lS
Republicans, 1913 Democrats, 81 unde.
cided and III men without a party. The
Republicans and Populists hold nearly
t~wo-thirds of the membership CT the
army, which is not surprising, in view
of the fact that the movement is in q
large sense the logical outgrowth Of the
socialisms in politics taught by those
parties. The presence Of nearly 200
Democrats in such a body is not easy to
account for.
On the line Of nationality some more
surprises are in store. Five hundred
and forty-nine of the troops are Ameri-
cans and 3l4 are foreign born; 35S are
members Of Protestant churches, 2S0 Of
the Catholic Church and ia without
any church connection. Among the for.
eigners the Germans preponderate, the
English coming second and the Irish
third. After these Sweden, Scotland,
Canada and Denmark rank as to numbers
in the order given. 1t is an international
army.-St. Louis Republic.

In THE SAME BOAT.

President Andrews Of Brown Univers.
ity denies that he is either q politician
or a partisan. However, he is a mar Of
great learning and takes . broad and
comprehensive view Of questions Of ma
tionsl importance. AT . recent speech
before the commercial clubs Of Chicago,
Mr.. Andrews says a party that does not
make a fight for silver will lose in the
coming Congressional and Presidential
elections. He says: 81 can plainly see
that the silver issue will not be downed.
1t is going to play an important part in
the next national election. The Demo-
cratic party will not carry the silver
men with it as it did before. 1t can
not nominate another Cleveland, who
knows how to keep his own counsels on
q question and get the support Of both
elements on the moaey issue. Whoever
that party dominates will have to give
no uncertain utterance, and / doubt If il
will do the party any good. It's major
ity in Congress has refused to keep the
platform promises, and the sentiments OF
a great constituency have been disregard.
ed. The people will not trust il again
on the financial question" Well, the
Republican party is in the same boat.

MINING ASSESSMENTS.

Congressman from the Mining States
are receiving petitions in favor Of and
against the suspension for 1894 Of the
clause Of the mining Act Of 1872, which
requires the annual expenditure Of 500
on unpatented mining claims. The petit.
t%ioners. who favor the suspension Of the
Act Of 1894. say that miners were not
adequately benefited by the suspension
Of the Act Of 1893 owing TO the fact
that il came too late in the season and o
large proportion Of the claim owners
had made the expenditure for that year.
Those who oppose the further suspension
OF the Act say il will benefit non-resi-
dent claim owners more than any other
persons. They also contend that it will
operate as we'll upon gold as upon silver
mining claims and this would retard the
development Of the gold claims.
As there is no discount on gold and
the purchasing power Of the metal is
greater to-day than aver before. it is not
probable that persons owning gold claims
would be deferred from developing them
because Of the suspension Of the assess
ment clause Of the mining Act. Gold
mines are being developed more vigor-
ously to-day in Colorado and Nevada
than at any time In the history Of those
States, whereas, silver mines which were
worked with profit when silver was
above q dollar an ounce, cannot be oper-
ated to-day, excep. at 9 loss. The sus-
pension Of the assessment Act is asked
for because Of the low price Of silver,
and except in very rare instances il
would not affect gold mines. If claim
owners in Nevada think that the Act
ought to be suspended for 1894, they
should petition our Senators and Repre-
sentative to use their influence in favor
Of it.-Reno Journal.

What f~atuists these gold bugs bel AT
the international Bimetsllic Conferences
In London Hon. Arthur Balfour made
what is esteemed the most profound and
argumentative discourse delivered in
late years on any monetary topic. His
unquestioned abilities were equal to the
task Of analysing the causes OF which
the present depression is the effect. and
of pointing out the safe and practicable
remedy to the satisfaction Of the practi-
cal thinkers and observers who were his
auditors, and to the equal satisfaction OF
the unprejudiced public. which has been
privileged to read them.
Such an effort, from such Q man,
should arouse the advocates OF Q single
gold standard to the work Of resisting
his conclusions with all the stern logic
and unyielding facts which they are con.
stantly assuring the world is their K
elusive monopoly. The Statiss contents
itself with saying in reply that "the
banking community everywhere opposes
an international agreement" and rests at
that evidently believing that it has COW
cred the case. The London Times at
tacks Mr.. Balfour, asserting that mo
man can combine the incompatible func-
tions Of an apostle Of the fsds and . re-
sponsible statesman without injuring his
usefulness" But the Times reputation
for infalibility was lost in the Parnell
suit, and if there were ever many who
would sneeze when the Times snuffed
there are but few to do it now.
The monometsllits must justify their
faith by their work. This is ar irrever-

DON'T WORRY.

The contingent Of the old gold bug
parties are worrying themselves into
sleepless nights in their anxiety to know
who the silver party intends TO put in
the several State Offices. Since . nomi-
nation will be equivalent to an election
they can't understand why cliques, eau
cuses and combinations have not n

didates and q redhot scramble for Office

the grand old party had standing and
responsibility. They can't understand
why strife and discussions among the
leaders are not making the air sulphur
Gus round about when the ~emoluments
Of Office are to be had. They have never
experienced how good and how pleasant
10 is for brethren to dwell together in
unity in a nominating year. They have
no knowledge Of the fact that when q
party organization is based upon princi-
pie and not upon spoils and it's members
are actuated by the highest considers
lions Of patriotism and seek not personal
aecrandizement no serious d~issensions
can arise to mar the deliberations Of its
chosen representatives, in convention.
The Silver party occupies the proudess
position that ever fell to the lot Of a po-
litical organization. 1t is Q party OF the
people-all are leaders, all are followers
and none are bosses. When the proper
time arrives it will in its aggregate ca
pacity and combined wisdom, through
it's duly accredited representatives,
select the men whom il desires to serve
the State in an official capacity. IL be-
lieves in the J~effersonian test as the
qualification for Office, "honesty and
capacity" This test it will adopt and
amidst the multitude Of the duly quali-
fed the party will select. So the ole
guards of treason, strategems and spoili
need not worry shout whom the nomi-
nees will be. For no one will know I'M
ill the party convention shall act. Tit
party considers the Offices only as
means TO advance cherished paincipleI

That the Australian ballot system

annulled by the woman suffrage Act,
