THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20. 1894.

GOLD will continue to 90 out as long as
the Democrats stay in. The country
would be much better off if it could ex.
port the Democrats and keep the yellow
metal at home. But as there is no domes-
tic, so there is no foreign demand for
them, and they are not wanted anywhere
except now and then by the criminal
courts and the Grand Jury. With the
present currency tinker at the head of the
Finance Department it is rather surpris-
ing that dollar of gold is left in tae
country. 1t does not flow away from him
reluctantly like molasses in winter, but
with nimblest radiating centrifugality
like the distribution of Koumiss out of an
exploded bottle. When ne leaves the de
partment he will probably not leave
enough of the standard metal to start a
gold cure with, and the retiring Admin
istration may need one.

The South, with the race question solved,
will be New South. So long as the fear
of negro domination swayed the minds
and fired the preiudices of white citizens,
it was useless to ask them calmly to con.
slider matters of national policy. Year
after year the dominant race rallied, re-
gardlass of all economic convictions and
appeals to reason and conscience, to in
sure a government by their own class and
TO forge upon themselves the chains of
slavery to autocratic and selfish political
oligarchies. But change has come The
negro is no longer the factor in politics
that IL was few years ago. A reaction
against the demoralizing effect on the
whole people of continued election frauds
mas set in. The conviction is gaining
ground that the South has new problems
to solve, and cannot go on forever listen
ing TO the fervid oratory of war ii me
reminiscence. The victors in the recent
Southern states elections promise to use
their newly gained power for the good Of
the whole people, Years ago the Bour'
bons devised a system local govern
ment which made machtae lie easy and
created a despotism in abso.aae control of
nominations and elections. AGAINST this
the younger generation reyolIed. The
problem now is 90 devise a system of local
administration which will insure home
rule, will be just to all classes of citizens,
win give the negroes their rights and al
the same time will guard against the re
opening of the race question. This is q
difficult task, but the leaders are going al
it with a clear understanding of what
they wish to accomplish. They are alsC
determined to have honest elections here

A fortnight ago Mr. John Burns, NJ
p, entered upon his mission to the work
ingmen of America, whom he then re-
garded as a little better Off than African
slaves His mission is now practically
ended, and he doubtless now thinks that
whatever the actual condition of working
men here may be, they do not deserve to
be even as well off as African slaves. The
resources of his usually redundant
rhetoric must be sorely taxed to express
his loathing and contempt for them and
when he comes to shake the dust of
America from his feet there will be danger
of corner in the doormat market
For it is to be observed that the work
ingmen of America-or at least those of
them assent bled and represented at
Denver to whom Mr. Burns most directly
came and spoke-will have none of him,
nor of his plan of Industrial salvation.
Mr.. Burns came here as a Socialist. He
had captured the labor organizations of
England, or most of them, and trans.
formed them into political clubs of
revolutionary tendencies. He came here
confessedly to do the same with American
organizations. He aimed to make "work'
ingman" and Socialist" synonymous
And he has failed. The Denver conven
tion, by an overwhelming majority, has
rejected the whole political scheme
Sociallstic and otherwise. The Denver
convention is to be congratulated on its
wise aud patriotic action. To have com
mitted itself to Socialism would hav
been to array the overwhelming mass o
I the American people against it.

Possibilities of the Bicvcle.

A paper in The Century calls atten
tion to some recent feats of bicycle rid
ers. This autumn for the first time in
the history of Alabama the elections ro
turns were known on the day of cleo
tion. 1t was owing to the Birmingham
Bicycle club. Thirty members Of this
organization went to outlying districts,
where there was neither railroad nor
telegraph. They got the returns from
these sections and brought them into
Birmingham before the city vote there
had been counted. In order to do this,
they had to travel an aggregate Of over
1000 miles. 1t was not over the smooth
macadamized and asphalt paths that de-
light the cyclist either, but over rough
and stony mountain roads
1t is 400 miles from London to Edin,
burgh, yet skilled wheelmen travelled
| lately the entire round trip of 800 miles
in 2 days, hours and ~ minutes. II
the best days of coaching no stage wa
! ever able to cover more than the single
| distance of 400 miles between the cities
in less than ~ hours and % minutes.
Thus the bicycle rider made nearly
twice as good time as the fastest stage
coach ever did
A quarter Of million bicycles hav,
been sold by dealers this year, it is cal
culated, Good for the boys ana girl

the currency BILL continued uninterrupt-
edly in the house yesterday, Messrs John.

posed it, and Mr.. Warner DEM, n. W
supported it. The speech of Mr. Ellis was
OF rather n sensational character, and the
applause 1t received from free silver Dem
ocrats indicated plainly the unalterable
opposition of the silver men of the house
to the Carlisle plan. Mr.. Bland gave no.
tice that he would offer his free silver bill

Practically all the time of the senate was
occupied by speeches on the Nicaragua
canal bill. Mr.. Turpie, who has been
speaking daily since Monday, completed
his speech against the bill, making crit

the measure At its conclusion he offered
an amendment, providing for the appoint
ment of board of three engineers to make
a survey and estimate the cost of the canal.
This, he thought, was as far as congress
ought TO go at this session Mr. Cullom
earnestly advocated the measure, and in

A queer flavor has the bill introduced
into the United States senate by iIr
Berry to provide a temporary form Of
government for that portion of Indian
Territory occupied by the five civilized
tribes. Under the provisions of this bill
a new territory would bo temporarily
organized, called Indianola, with all the
officers usually appointed under one Of
our territorial governments. The bill
further provides that at any time the
boundaries may be changed by act If
congress without consent of the people
of the new territory. When Indian Ter
ritory was set apart for our red men, il
was promised that the land should be
theirs forever without any interference
by white men But the desperate greed
of white men has been encroaching lit

sacred promise of the United States gov
enment, Bit by bit, by purchase and
otherwise, their grounds have been got

crowded closer to extinction than ever.

But hear DR.. veblen himself;

The cardinal principles of the theory Of wo
mans dress are these three;
/. EXppusivcness. Considered with respect
TO its effectiveness as clothing, apparel mu.
be noconomicul. 1t must afford evidence Oi
the ability of the wuaror's economic group e.
pay for things that are in themselves Of nU usa
TO any one concerned, to pay without getting
an equivalent IN comfort or in gain. From this
principle there is no exception.
q Novelty. Woman's apparel must afford
primu facie evidence of having been Worn hUt
for a relatively short time, as well as, with
respect to may articles, evidence of inability
TO Withstand any appreciable amount Of wear.
Exceptions from this rule are such things as
are Of sufficient pernanence to become holr
looms, and Of such SURPRISING expensivcnCss
as normally to be possessed only by persons Of
superior (pecuniary) rank. The possession Of
an heirloom is to be commended because II
argues the practice Of waste through more
than one generation.
3. Incptitude. 1t must afford prima fariC
evidence Of iucnpacitating the wearer for any
gainful occupation, and it should also make il
apparent that she is permanently unfit for ANY
useful effort, even after the restraint Of tn
apparel is removed. From this rule there is 1t
exception.
