1t is a mistake to give the repub
licans the sole credit for the defea-
of the gold bond Bill, says Henry
Jones, in the Atlanta Constitution
In the first place, the bill never got
to the senate. 1t was defeated in
the house, and would have beer
beaten if no republican had voted
as all the pophlists and the majority
, of the democrats voted against it.
True it is, that a majority of the
republicans also voted the same
way, but they would probably, judg.
ing by their previous votes, have
supported the proposition had it
been recommended by republican
president. The republican party
has, indeed, a sweet record on the
financial issue. A republican con-
gress demonetized silver, estab-
Eshed and sustained national banks,
changed greenback obligations into
coin obligations and sought to retire
all the greenbacks. "A republican
senate changed the Bland free coin
age bill TO the Allison silver pur-
chase bill, and republican presi-
dent vetoed the latter. Arepublic-,
AN congress, M An almost nnasii-
nlYlis party vote, repeale Tho Bland
Allison act and substituted the
sSherman.act. When the leader Of
the democratic-republican gold
standard coalition, President Cleve.
land, demanded the unconditional
repeal Of the Sherman act, he was
supported by aihajority of republic
ans in both senate and house. In
both houses the Bland Allison act
would have been substituted for the
Sherman act, had it not been for
the republicans, all the populists
and . majority of. the democrats
voting for the formerlaw. "A free
silver coinage amendment 10 the
repeal bill was defeated in the SEN
ase by republican votes only, sthatt
party givingl7 majority against
the amendment, while it was de-
feated by only 10 votes. Finally
the repeal bill passed the senate by
43 yeas to 80 nays, a majority ofll,
bat the republican senator's cast 2S
votes for it and only 5 Sagainst it.
Eliminate the republicans from the
record and unconditional repeal
you'd have been lost in the senate
by 20 to "a. Less than month
ago the senate took up and, had it
not been for the Cleveland demo-
cratic-republican flibuster, would
have passed the Jones unrestricted

Of course. Ten voted to take up

called the attention of the state depart
ment to the allegations that filibustering
expeditions against the Spanish authori-
ties in Cuba are being fitted out from the
bayous of the lower Mississippi river. The
communication also states that armed
citizens of some of the Southern states
often paradel with arms with view to
joining some of these outgoing exped!-
tions, or at least to give active encourage
ment TO the Cuban insurrectionists. Some
of the statements made covered facts of
which the United States government can
take no official notice, and we're too
meager for political official action. 1t is
believed at the state department that
there is little truth in the reports which
reach here from the South of the fitting
out of warlike expeditions against Cuba /;
but should it be shown that expeditions
are being organized which come within
the prohibition of our treaties with Spain,
there will be no delay in bringing the par
ties concerned to Justice.
