SILVER CHATTER.

The public are informed that the

rest Of chose in authority have nc

the silver question, and no more know

medicine man of the Sioux Indians as

old masters" OF course. that is from
the Obituary.
Well. how could he and the rest of
those in authority know anything of
these questions when all the wisdom

the knowledge of their bearings. ar

great financial medicine man of the
Obituary. who advocated the destruc-
ton of national bank notes as the sur
est way for the national banks to get
rich. How can they know anything,
when he knows it all?
Strange that he could not impress
the convention of Republican Leasl
at Denver with some conception OF
the Importance of the silver question
and some knowledge of it's bearings.
1t seems that the trouble in that pom
derous financial brain is, that the
Democratic administration has not,
in seventeen MONTHS undone all the
mischief wrought by the Republican
party in thirty years of misrule and
particularly in twenty years of its ia
tai silver policy.
But there is this to be considered:
There is no indication at present that
the Republican party has any desire
or inclination to take up silver on a
free coinage basis. On the contrary.
except in the State of California, the
Republican official utterances as to
silver are declarations against free
coinage. It follows, therefore, as we
have said. that the only hope for the
white metal is in the Democratic
party
Just now. the tariff is the absorbing
question. When the party will take

any more than a greenback, or to
state that it would not be received at
the custom house for duties, as declar-
ed bv the financial sage who knows it
all and more too.
When a person poses as a great au-
lthority on any public question, waiv-
ing aside all who differ with him as
on par with savages as to knowledge,
we naturally look for something more

SETTLES THE MATTER.

There are still vigorous exertions put
forth to claim for certain Republicans
the credit of bestowing upon Utah the
boon of statehood. 1t matters not that
the enabling act was framed by a
Democratic Delegate, passed with un-
paralleled celebrity chiefly through his
eXertions by Democratic House,
amended and passed by a Democratic
Senate, and signed as soon as received
by Democratic President. That is all
TO count for nothing in view of the 81
lence and non-obstruction of the Re-
publican minority!
So, we are still treated to DISGUST
tons on the gratitude Utah should feel
to the Republicans in Congress for
what they didn't do. A contemporary
which nearly always distinguishes it
self in argument by disproving its own
premises, endeavors to show that the
idea is fallacious about statehood being
due to the Democrats. And this is the
way it succeeds:
The story is told that Ex-Governor
Thomas sent a letter to Senator Shoup
before the bill passed the Senate, urg-
ing him to try and get two Represen-
tatives instead of one for the new
state. Also to try to get increased the
number of acres for the school lands.
The Senator replied, giving his reasons
why he didn't do what was asked Of
him. And our contemporary exclaims
in extacy: THAT ought to settle the
matter"
OF course it ought. If a Republican
in Utah wrote to a Republican in Con-
gress, urging him to offer some
amendments to the statehood bill, and
the Republican Senator didn't do it.
but only explained why he didn't do
it, can't you see that this settles the
matter, proving beyond a doubt that
it was the Republicans who passed the
bill and the Democrats were not in it?
Settles the matter? Certainly. Such
logic as that is invincible-that is to
its author. If anybody else disputes it,
why that proves that he knows no
more of the matter than a Sioux In
dian," or that he is-well, one OF those
pet animals which are common in the
vocabulary of our logical (0 contem-
porary.

From a commercial point of view the

century in advance Of the South of ten
years ago, says the Kansas City Times.
Where ten years ago cottonseed went
to waste, today 500 cottonseed mills are
transforming this waste into a hand
some income for the cotton planter.
These mills exported during the wear
ending May 2. 1894, $41, O33, 900 worth of
cottonseed oil, $6,OS4,20O worth of oil
cake and meal, and S5,2O3,675 worth of
other grades Of oil. This industry alone
adds about $5S,OOO.OOO annually to the
wealth of the South.

allowed to accumulate. The civil arm
is ordinarily sufficient for all needful
purposes. The military is only for rare

PROPOSED ARMY INCREASE.

General Schofield has been giving his
views on the necessity for increasing
the army. His position, and the fact
that anything he says on the subject,
will have great weight with the ad-
ministration and Congress, make his
views important. He starts out by say
ing that recent events have convinced
the people of the United States that
they need more soldiers Recent events
have convinced the people of the United
States that they have allowed dema-
Igogues who control large organizations
of men to go too far. and that those Of
ficials whose duty it is to enforce the
laws have pandered too much to these
same demagogues, thinking they con-
troll a considerable vote. They have be-
be supreme riots must be put down.
and that those VINO lead and encourage
them must be punished, no matter what
the effect may be on the chances for re-
election of certain officeholders. But all
this does not imply that the people are
convinced that more soldiers are need
ed. What is needed is we'll equipped
and well disciplined militia and state
and municipal officers who know what
their duties are and who do them
General Schofield says of late years
the duties and responsibilities of the
Federal government have increased.
Surprising they have; those duties have
been performed and those responsible
ties carried without any increase of the
army. Really the fact is that the tend
ency of the Federal government has
been more and more to Capitalization.
In ordinary times of peace I concede
that $4,000 men are enough with ordin-
airy needs says the general command
ing the army. Are we living in any
but ordinary times of peace?
This summers riot was not
so extraordinary that it is to be re-
garded as an eighth wonder in govern
ment Riots are a good deal like grass
hoppers: they come around about every
so many years, but their presence would
not justify a departure from a policy
that is coeval with the origin of the
government
General Schofield would give the Presi-
dent the power, in his discretion. to
enlist men up to a maximum of go 600.
The President has the power to call
out the state militia at any time, and
this should be, and is, sufficient.
The general then goes on to saw that
"a year or more ago everyone saw the
gathering cloud" If everyone saw
this cloud gathering a year or more
ago, everyone kept very mum about it.
1t may be that General Schofield refers
to some other cloud than Ahat which
started at Pullman and spread all over
the country when Debs ordered his
strike.
The country needs no increase in the
army. The people do not need the Fed
eral governments care to police the
states, and there has never yet been a
man in the White House, whether
Democrat or Republican, to whom can
safely be given the power to more than
double the size of the army at his dis
cretion.' The very bestowal of the
power would destroy his discretion. if
he had any.
General Schofield is right when he
says, In ordinary times of peace I
concede that $4,000 men are enough
with ordinary needs.'

Says the Chicago Times Dem):

The senior Republican organ de-

the prevalent scarcity of employment
| is due to the constant introduction of
llabor-saving machinery and for sug-
costing as a remedy shorter hours.
which will necessitate the employment
of more people besides increasing con-
sumption
Congressman Larry McGann's idea
is neither new nor novel and really
smacks more of demagogism than
craftsmanship.
The present Congress is not the worst
one we have had, though a few Demo
Gratis have proved false to their plat
form and the Republicans have OBJ
structed legislation. There have been
some very bad Congresses before. The
one that fastend the Mckinley bill on
the country is regarded by many good
judges as about as infamous a body as
could well be got together. The Sugar
trust was vastly profited by this law
and strengthened to make its fight in
the present Congress.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch Dem.).
No Congress, save Republican one,
ever fastened on the country such an
incubus as the Mckinley bill. 1t is hard
to conceive Of anything worse.
