CLOUDS PASSING BY.
Men of Prominence Sign an
Agreement Favoring
Bimetallism.
International Use of silver Upon the
Plan of the Latin Union, with
"a Broader Basis.

CHICAGO, May Marshal Field, Ly-
many j. Gage, George NJ. Pullman, p. ID.
Armour, John k. Walsh and about fifty
other men Of wealth and importance in
the finarcIal world have signed creed
with bimetallism as its basis and pledged
themselves to promote its adoption as an
international system. They favor pro-
noting bimetallism upon the general
plan Of the Latin union, but with
broader basis. Those concerned In the
movement, while earnestly opposed to
the free coinage Of silver by this coun-
try independent Of an international
agreement. believe that the repeal Of the
silver purchasing clause Of the Sherman
act affords fitting opportunity for ad-
vancing the cause Of international bi
metailism. They believe that the day s
not far distant when the necessities OF
commerce will compel the international
use Of liver. as well as gold. in countries
throughout the world.
Franklin II. Head, who was appointed
secretary Of the committee. says: If
England will enter into an international
agreement to accept a bimetallic system
every other great power will do the
same. and gold will cease to appreciate.
prices will stop falling and prosperity
will be universally restored. Universal
remonetzation Of silver is what we
want. To adopt free coinage for this
country. in the absence Of such an
! agreement. would be fatal. Let all the
nations adopt it. and We shall see an end
Of the worldwide depression in prices
which followed the demonetization Of
silver in 1873"

SAN FRANCISCO, May flames B. FL
lott. business manager of the Chronicle,
narrowly escaped death from pistol shots
fired by Jack Rudolph, a wellknown
politicien, in the Chronicle.
Rudolph entered the Office, and was
making noisy demonstration in abuse
Of Nj. ii. de Young. when Elliott inter
fered. Rudolph drew pistol and the
business manager closed with him. An
exciting struggle ensued and Rudolph
discharged the weapon at Elliott. The
ball ranged downwards, and struck a
silver dollar in Elliott's pocket, saving
him from serious. il not fatal injury.
Rudolph was arrested, charged with
assault with intent to murder. He spent
some years in San Quentin for q mur,
derous assault. He was for long time
the body guard Of Boss Buckley. His
grievance against De Young appears to
have been wholly imaginary and was
perhaps the outcome of q recent pro
tracted spree.

Mrs. Deland calls Journalism the
big brother of literature" What she
meant as sarcasm is fact. Journal
ism is the big brother without whose
aid 80 litterateurs out of 100 could not
live. This is the age of daily brains.
Those who fancy that book and mag
azine writers are superior to journal
lists would revise their opinions did
they realize how many more words
to ideas are found in most books and
most magazine articles than in news
papers, where space Is Of far more
importance. Journalism is driving
so called literature out of the mar
ket. The people are the gamers.
They buy the contents of book for
) cents and less. When their taste
become, classic. the newspapers will
DC classic. too. even III the wording
of murders and prize fights. Kate

Ever since man secured leisure enough
from the struggle for existence to think,
and especially to advise his fellows what
they ought to do, statesmen have been
divided into two classes -individualists
and socialists. The theory Of individ-
ualism is that the purpose Of government
is to give every man fair chance to
make the most Of himself by protecting
the life and possessions of the individu-
ais from violence or theft. The socialis-
tlc theory is that a state or nation is a
great family. over which government is
to exercise paternal care. 1t may not go
as far as communism. which puts all
earnings into q common fund, but il
holds that the government ought to as
sist some Of the children by taking from
the others. An outgrowth of these
ideas is the proposal to have telegraphs
Telephones snd. railroads owned end
managed by the government. The indi.
viduslist claims that ip European states
where this is done to some extent, the
results are not promising. The railroads
Of our country have been built and
managed on the individual plan, and We
have the largest and finest systems in the
world. among which the Burlington
route stands pre-eminent. For maps
