However valuable aid Mr.. Clay may

while in Russia, his autobiographio
memoirs are full Of proofs that he was
no more a trained diplomat than a
trained military man. Ono incident will
suf1ice-the story Of how he lost the
favor of the czarina. One day he was
invited by the GEAR to Czarsko Selo, a
private estate Is miles in circumference,
containing forests and lakes. The ozar
sent him for drive in his carriage,
which, of course, had the royal livery.
The Princess Suwarrow, member Of
the royal household, had gone rowing
in light boat and invited Mr.. Clay to
go with her. 1t came on a rain, and the
princess was in a light summer dress.
It was thus necessary to go to shore at
once But how was the princess to get
home?
Mr.. Clay proposed that she should
take the carriage, and that he should
find shelter under the trees till it re-
turned. The lady seemed reluctant to
do this, but at length got in and drove
off. The result was that she was seen
driving in the czar's carriage. The
czarina did not forgive Mr.. Clay for
this. Mr.. Clay afterward explained the
circumstance to Prince Alexander Dol
gorouki. Flo says, 81 saw the prince

The New York Times comments on
the Washington silver convention by
referring to Bland and others As fanat-

strong but not wholly sound, delusion
takes deeper hold than in those that
are weaker but more nearly normal.
1t is evident that gold bugs and their

nothing TO create sentiment against
free silver coinage. If the minds of
silver advocates are unsOund and those

God deliver Us from such soundness.

vision we have been inclined to Judge
these precedents and view these indica-
tions of a sound mind as the blots upon
the pages of history-blackness attrib-
utabe to the brute nature Of man. an
atayism handed down from the savage
ny of primeyal human nature. suryi-
val of evil to be as rapidly eradicated
as possible But, alas! who shall Judge
between US, when one half the world
says the other half is mad? Naught
but human might and the overrulmg
direction of Almighty God, and, in the
language of Andrew Jackson, by the
Great Eternal, we will test our sanity,
and that of the gold-bug halt, by a war
fare which asks and grants no quarter,
until one or the other is placed where it
will yield a quiescent obedience to the
will of the cOnqueror.

A favorite method of killing the huge

ARE THE INTERESTS OF CREDITOR

Considering the unanimity of the
creditor classes in support of the policy
Of gold-monometallism, "A policy that
does great injustice to the debtor class,
it is not surprising that bimctallists
should take for granted that the inter
ests of the creditor classes are naturally
antagonistic to the interests of the
debtor and producing classes. So
from one end of the country to the
other, wherever the press is not under
the control of the money power, abuse
is hurled at the creditor classes and
they are held up as the enemies of man
kind.
Seeing that the policy of goldmono-
metallism resulting in falling prices so
strenuously urged by the creditor
classes must be destructive alike of the
prosperity of both debtor and and pro-
Queer, it is only natural that bimetal-
lists should assume that the interests of
the creditor classes are best served not
by just and stable measure of value.

TnE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
of recent date shows up the laundering
policy of the administration in nego-
tiatng bonds through a foreign syndi-
cate The bonds were sold abroad,
aud gold placed in the treasury. But
these same bonds are worth more now
in this country than abroad, and they
are coming back for sale here, and to
buy them home investors are gathering
gold for their purchase, thus drawing
the gold in the treasury down. BY this
method bonds are placed in foreign
hands to sell To our own people at a
large profit to said foreigners. While
we do not believe there was any ncces-
sity for bonds, the outcome shows that
if bonds were to be issued at all. they
should have been issued as popular
loan to our own people, the interest
and premium, if any, being kept at
