"There is not, that have been able
to discover, any friction between
the Democratic Senators and the White
House. II the silver fight came up
again, l would take the same position,
but | do not think it has caused any
bitterness or resentment at either end
of the avenue. am far from having
any prejudice against the President or
any of his cabinet officers, and do not
think there is any felt against me or
the Senate"
These are only sample talks of the
hearty desire the oDemocrats have to
get together and support the admins
tration.
The Democrats, in the future, who
jumps over the traces, will be very
eifectually squelched. 1t has taken
the party u long while to learn that
" in unity there is strength"
1t is to be hoped that the lesson will
not soon be forgotten.

Democrats. A half dozen Democrats
on the floor refrained from voting.
These were Geary, of California; Sick
les, of New York; Strait, OF South
Carolina; Swanson, of Virginia; Lati-
mer, of South Carolina; sufficient to
make the 179 necessary to a quorum.
When the vote was announced ia
to 3, Springer raised the point of order
that as there were four vacant seats in
the House, 1T instead of ITO should
constitute quorum. After some de-
bate the point of order was sustained
and the resolution passed.

and life of these men and women who

very little, twenty little, ten moder-

A WORD OF WARNING.

The strongly expressed sentiment of the
people of this city, supported by the repu-
table press, indicates the success of the
Non-Partisan ticket at the coming election.
However gratifying the outlook NAV lie
to-day, it should be borne in mind that
this anticipated success can only be
realized through the votes of all good citi-
zens. The Burns-Buckley combination
will spare no money and hesitate at no
criminal act TO distort the election returns.
Already their heelers are supplied with
money. Our property interests and our
commercial, financial and industrial sta
billty demand that our city government be
managed by those who are personally
interested in its clean and efficient ad-
ministration. We are possibly on the
verge of a change in many aspects Of our
traffic affairs as we'll as in methods OF
political domination. Those citizens, then,
who are In earnest about wanting clean
local government can only protect their
property, their business and the municipal
welfare by doing some good work betw cen
now and election day. Let it he plainly
demonstrated Tor once what our citizans
can do as practical workers when the
emergency arises. II is now no longer a
question of politics or party. but one ol
self-defense.

more rapidly abroad. In India wheat 10
raised with cheap labor and is sold for
silver. The Indian wheat-producer sells
his crop in actual or willful ignorance Of
the fact that the English buyer can pur-
chase two silver rupees for the amount Of
geld he had to give for one quarter Of a
century ago. As the silver rupee will buy
AS much of everything but gold in India as
before the depreciation of silver in Euro
pean markets, the wheat-grower does not
realize that he is not selling his wheat at
its gold price.
Another fact to which Mr.. Davis calls
attention is the low cost of producing
wheat in Argentine. As good wheat lands
as there are in America can be bought in
Argentine for 81 so an acre. Railroads
have been constructed to carry this wheat
to tidewater at low rates. Once on board
ships it does not make much difference
whether the market is 5000 or 10000 miles
distance. The outlook for the wheat
grower would be dark but for the fact that
the wheat area is limited, and is practically
under cultivation. The inference is that
while consumption will increase produc-
tion has about reached its natural limit
Wheat lands deteriorate RAPIDLY unless
fertilized. and fertiliZing is expensive.
The English wbeat-grower gets one year
with another twice as much from one acre
as his American competitor. but he can
only keep up this average by heavy
yearly expense. 1t is the new virgin wheat
fields that have reduced the present price
to less than half the former rate. but ac-
cording to the excellent authority of Mr..
Davis these new fields have been mostly
brought into use,

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS

While the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
will establish rates along the territory it
traverses, there are hundreds of miles over
which the Southern Pacific Company will
continue to charge ali the traffic will bear
unless it is restrained. The Traffic Asso-
citation has therefore looked into the
records of the several candidates for State
Railroad Commissioner and has selected
the following as thoroughly reliable:
In the First District, Hugh NJ. La Rue.
In the Second District. Alfred j. Marcus.
In the Third District. w. W. Phillips.
These candidates now go before the
public with the official Endorsement of the
body of men who opened the sea route be-
tween Atlantic cities and San Francisco
and have planned a railroad through one
Of our Irincipal valleys. The work the
Traffic Association has already done en-
titles it to the confidence of the public
The association makes telling argument
IN favor of reduction of railroad ratss in
poln ting out the fact that in 1893, year CT
unprecedented depression, the Southern
Paclhc Company earned per cent diyi-
dend on the whole capital stock. Now,
8 per cent would not be a big dividend if it
were declared on cash investment But
this stock represents NJ money. 1t is fig
ment of the railroad directors brains.
Bonds were issued to at least double the
cost Of their roads, on which interest is
paid. The capital stock of S119,047.17O is
purely imaginary, but its dividend of
1881, ,977 was eminently practical,

A PACIFIC RAILROAD ATTORNEY

The Hon. j. NJ. Thurston is canvassing
Nebraska as an avowed candidate for the
United States Senate. Mr.. Thurston's
opponent declared against funding the
Pacific railroads debt, and said that if he
was elected to the Senate he would do his
best to have the Government mortgage
fnreclosed. To this Mr.. Thurston replied
that he did not consider it to the advan-
tage of the people to foreclose the mort
gage, since that would involve the pay
ment of the enormous first mortgage in
debtedness. The first mortgage indebi-
eduess, of which Mr.. Thurston is so fear
full, amounts to about $50, 600, 900. while
the capital stock which the funding pre-
cess will continue as lien of the holders
on the property is variously given at from
$114.00o,000 to S120.O00,0oo and upward.
The mortgage bonds carry no control of
the roads, while the stock enables the men
who have converted the earnings of the
roads to their personal uses to control them.
Some of this stock has been sold to for
eigners, who have allowed the home man.

DOUBLE THE ARMY.

People will be somewhat surprised at
the report of Major-General Howard in
which he recommends an increase of the
army to at least double its present size.
General Howard accompanies this report
with the opinion that our coast defen ses
are in a fairly good condition aud may be
relied upon, with an ever-increasing naval
armament, to repel attacks from an out
side enemy. 1t seems clear. therefore,
that General Howard wants the army
doubled in size to repe attacks from the
inside. ;, In other words, he wants larger
army to serve as police force.
1t may not be ont of place to suggest to
an officer even of General Howard's emi-
nence that he may be travelling in the
wrong direction. Doubling q standing
army to handle domestic foes is a method
of government which carries on its face no
end. The larger the standing army the
greater the discomfort and the less the re-
spect and love for the Government which
thus shows its teeth when no enemy Is
near. The triumph of the United States
Government lies in the fact that 9999 men
out Of 10000 want it to continue t. exist.
The appearance of the Federal flag para
lyZes the arm that is raised against what Is
conceived to be local injustice. Behind
every file of Federal soldiers are million
volunteers ready to respond to the Presi-
dents call. 1t does not matter whether
the visible force is twenty men or a thou
sand times twenty. Every one represents
the sovereignty Of the nation.
1t might be better to remove causes for
domestic disquiet than to prepare to quell
disturbances by force. There il praeti-
cally no disloyal element in our popu-
lation. There is no DOMESTIC enemy to
arm against. The powers that need re-
straiDt are not likely to take up arms
against the Government. They work by
more subtle means. The laws which they
procure to be enacted are precisely the
enemy which General Howard would
double the army 10 put down.

THE PoPULIsTs IN THE EAST.

East of the mountains in many places
the polit cal prospect is very puZzling. 1t
was not surprising that the Democrats
in Maine and Vermont, chaflng under hard
times, abstaned from voting on election
day in such numbers that the relative
strength of the Republicans seemed to
have gained enormously; out the falling
off in the Democratic vote in Georgia is
not so easily explained. An analysis of
the vote shows that the Republican party
in Georgia has retired from business, and
has been succeeded by the Populists. who
polled 50 many votes that the political
solidity of the State has, at least for time,
become a thing of the past
1t seems that the plank in the Populist
platform which Seduced so many Demo-
Gratis from their allegiance was that which
pledges the nominees to the advocacy of
free silver. This is the radical develop
ment of bimetallism. The honest purpose
is to restore the two metals to their proper
parity and function as money. The evil
dent result under present conditions would
be not bimetallism but the single silver
standard. Yet it is evident that not in
Georgia alone but throughout the South
and West there is strong sentiment in
favor of free silver regardless of any inter.
| national agreement 10 aid in maintaining
the parity.
To what extent and how long this senti
ment will prevail sufficiently to have a
determining influence on national politics
| is matter which may well puzzle the
prophets. For fifteen years after the wal
of independence the demand for issues OF
irredeemable paper money was so loud in
many of the original States that many ot
the earlier statesmen were sometimes
driven to their wits end to reckon with it
| Something of the same idea is behind the
| free silver movement, but with the differ
epce that the free silyerites seek danger
Gus way to desirable result. II is a case
! of would-be more haste and worse speed
| Yet the movement must be met In prac:i.
| cal politics. 1t has permeated the Soutt
and has spread North and West. Tha
| Senators Jones and Stewart of Nevads
should join the Populists merely signifie:
| that with them their personal interests o.
silver miners have influenced their judg
ment on monetary problems; but Duboi,
of Idaho and Bryan OF Nebraska announce
their intention OF following their lead
though they are not interested in silver
mines. If the P0pulisis should material
ize in strength in the next Congress it will
be safe to expect other desertions from
the old parties into their camp.

THE FUTURE OF THE WHEAT

growers something tc ponder over. Mr..
Davis is one of the comparatively few
men who dive to the bottom of every ques-
ton be discusses. He has been in the
business Of converting wheat into -four a
quarter OF century or more. within which
time he has seen the English wheat market t
drop from 55 shillings per quarter to 25
sbiliings per quarter. AS the surplus of
American wheat has during all this period
been sold in the English market, the Amer
ican price has been regulated by what the
surplus would fetch abroad. Within this
period the cost of producing wheat has
been much reduced. Machinery has helped
to reduce the cost in ths United States,
but other conditions have reduced the cost
