Henry Watterson has been in New
York, where. in answer to q query as to
his opinion Of the Wilson bill, he said
1.-THE Wilson bill reminds me Of an &C
cident that oncs happened in Louisville.
A well known local gambler thought he
had a good thing in a stranger who ap.
peared upon the scene loaded with
money. He was induced to play q game
i think they call it draw poker-and
when the orportune moment arrived the
Louisville man dealt the stranger four
jacks and himself four queens. The bet.
ting began, and when all their money
was up and it came to q showdown, the
stranger displayed four kings. Take
the money. stranger gasped the aston.
ished native, as he fell in . ct. Take
the money T! But that WASH. the hand !
dealt you I So with the Wilson bill. 1t
was not the hand the Chicago Conven-
tion dealt the Democrats party and
which the people Of the United States
backed with their votes"

While the Bland coinage bill Is q move
in the right direction it does not reach
far enough. 1t gives only q taste. The
people will not be satisfied with anything
this side Of free coinage Of silver. They
will not be satisfied with only half money
enough to do business with, when they
can see no reason why they should not
have all the country needs. II the mill
ions boarded in New York Banks were
distributed throughout the country II
would accomplish a great good. If Con-
Qress would enact q free silver bill those
bankers would be in such q hurry to I'M
load that some Of them would break
their necks in their haste. -Virginia En-

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.

Thomas H. Benton, the great Missouri
Democrat, foretold the rule of Cleve-
land ~6fty-nine years ago, as will appear
by the following extract taken from
"Crockett's Life Of Martin Van Buren,"
published as early as 1885, which says:
Colonel Benton told the President
John Quincy Adsms) that the power Of
patronage. used for personal and not party
ends, would at some future time enable
. President Of this free republic to make
himself . worse despot than the Car Of
Russia. Colonel Benton wished to re-
duce if he could this dangerous infu-
ence over the liberties Of the people.
Ths danger was all the greater in that
the people might not know their peril
until ID was too late to avert it. "The
King of England" Colonel Benton de-
clarsd, els the fountain Of honor, but .
President Of the United States is merely
. source Of patronage. He presides over
the whole system of Federal appoint
ments, jobs and contracts. He has
power over the support Of the individuals
who administer the system. He chooses
from the circle Of his friends and sup
porters and may dismiss them, and upon
all the principles Of human action will
dismiss them as often as they disappoint
his expectations. We must look for.
ward to the time when the public rev.
enues will be doubled. when the civil
aud military officers Of the Federal Gov
eminent will be quadrupled, when its in.
huence over individuals will be multi
piled to an indefinite extent, when the
nomination Of the President can carry
any man through the Senate and his
accommodation car carry any measure
though the two Houses of Congress,
when the principal Of public action will
be reduced TO this: The President wants
MY vote and l want HIS patronage. 1
will vote as he wishes and he will give
me the offices l wish for. What will
this be but the government Of ONE
man ~

DEATH OF A PIONEER.

Colonel ]. d. Stevenson. . California
pioneer. died in San Francisco Feb. IA,
aged "a years. In 1912 he received some
military instructions as captain Of a
cadet company In New York. In lS47,
when the country was involved in war
with Mexico and q war with England
was imminent over the boundary ques-
tion. he was authorized by President
Polk to raise q regiment. With that
regiment he arrived in San Francisco in
March, lS47, and reported to General
Kearney. When hostilities ceased and
the territory comprising Arizona, Cali
fornia and Nevada was coded to the
United States he engaged in private bust.
ness pursuits. but always took an active
interest in public affairs.
He arrived on the coast when San
Francisco was an insignificant village
and the State a wilderness. 1t was be.
fore the discovery Of gold, when even the
great Daniel Webster thought the greater
part Of the State was o worthless lava
bed. He lived to see San Francisco q
city Of over 800. 900 inhabitants and Cal.
ifornia one Of the most prosperous and
productive States Of the Union. Only .
few Of the members Of his regiment sur
vivs their commander. though many Of
them were not much over half his age
whom they arrived in San Francisco, AZ
years ago.

The chilling fact occurs that Cleve-
land and Stevenson do not like each
other. They never did and never will.
Aud il Cleveland does not like a man he
shows him q hard time. There are two
things which the most remorseless cuckoo
never dreamed Of saying Of Cleveland.
No one ON earth ever named him as either
polite or generous. Cleveland is rude,
especially to those who seek iavors at his
hands. And he guards his patronage as
q miser boards his riches. Cleveland
does it from the mere instinct Of posses
sion; he doesn't know why, himself, more
than half the time. He hangs to patron
age just as some fulfilled. overgorged dog
will bury q bone-merely for the ssnsa
tion of having il. -Chicago Times.

John Sherman says that the way to
restore the country to prosperity is to
put the Republicans In power again.
The Democrats say the Republicans
ruined US. put us in and VIC will rave the
country. Now il you want to act the
fool just change from Republican to
Democrat and vice versa. II you want
to save the country turn both Of the old
parties out and take = new start. Cleve.
land and Sherman both graduated in the
same school; both have diplomas from
Wall street. both use the same medicine,
put up in the same capsules, and if Cleve.
land has . bad case, he calls in Sherman
as consulting physician. They have
made no change in the prescription for
thirty years. They have bled the patient
until he tainted. and now they both
order Carlisle to bleed him again to re-
store him.-Silver State.

wowsp-wIpE TROUBLE.

IL should encourage women on whom,
as the disbursers Of family income, the
present financial distress bears heavily,
TO know that ID is by no means confined
to this country. Its discussion, as IL ID
heard OF breakfast table, on street cars,
in familiar gatherings, at charitable soci'
cites and in the silent watches OF the
night, is apt to lead her to think other
wise. We are by no means having Q
monopoly Of misery. Although the tariff
and silver are the physicians diagnosis
Of our complaint, Italy is groaning,
Spain is wringing her hands, France is
pinching ceutimes, Germany is darning
her old stockings, Russia is hslf-stsrv-
ing, and the English burning coal oil for
Goals. The wall Of Australia preceded
our cry Of distress, and at this moment
India is making a louder noise than we.
C~hristendom iu general seems TO be hsv-
ing a pretty bad time Of it. II we cry
more Justify, it is because we are younger
and not injured to pain. After making
q patient attempt TO understand the
cause Of this disorder, whose ravages are
wider spread than the grip, it seems
to a woman to be due to q certain fiirta-
ton with the Indian rupee. Whether
the rupee is an avsh or an houri, q ma.
ishranee or q heather idol, nobody takes
pains to explain; but whoever or what
ever she is, she has given the nations one
colossal ache.-N. Y. Evening Sun.

This Eastern awakening in the iuts,

This Eastern awakening in the inter-
est Of silver is the first confession Of q
guilty and ignorant financial aristocracy,
which for years has been crowding the
country toward the gold basis upon
which it now rests. The wreck of rail.
roads and the crash Of fortunes which
followed their ~asinine course have brought
them to q realizing sense Of the fact that
no man or set Of men can reverse the
laws OF nature or violate them without
suffering the consequences. At the pres.
ant rate Of progress the silver cause
ought to be victorious within two years.
