TIE LIVES ARE DRAWN.

The friends and admirers OF Governor
Mckinley, who are also the friends OF
silver, and who have been fondly cling
ing to the hope that his reputed utter
ances on the silver question would be
denied, are now brought face to face
with the fact that such hopes are ground
less. Gov. Mckinley said it The re-
port has been fully confirmed Not only
that, but the plan of campaign has been
outlined and bis lieutenants chosen.
The millionaire Mr. Kohlsaat, will
purchase one of the leading dailies of
New York city, and with the assistance
of Joseph Medilrs Chicago Tribune, will
endeavor to initiate the people in the
beauties and desirability of the gold
monetary standard If it were possible
for them to point out some good result
which has come from the adoption of
gold as the basis of all our money, their
undertaking might not be so hopeless.
Unfortunately for their cause they can't
do it, aud they know they can't do it.
It may be a wise move on the
part of Governor Mckinley to take
this decided position so early in the deal
He knows he cannot be elected presi-
dent unless he can secure the Republi-
can nomination. In order to do that he
has chosen to ally himself with the mil
lionaires and Wall street rather than
with the masses He is good enough
politician to fully realize what power
the former element can WELD in conven-
tIons
They can bring to him the delegates of
the eastern states, and he hopes to cap
ture the south on the strength of his
tariff views If he shall succeed in
doing this he can hardly fail Of nomi-
nation.
What will the Republicans of the west
do about this matter? Will they stand
idly by and see the party committed to a
policy which they cannot honestly en-
dorse, and one which is almost certain to
entail defeat?
It is time for Republicans to be think
ing about the situation and deciding
what course to pursue. The advo Gates
of the gold standard are at work, and
Governor Mckinley is undoubtedly the
man they have decided upon for their
leader. It is useless to say wait and see.
The lines are drawn.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has already
begun to cast about him for some excuse
which will justify refusal to appoint
delegates to the prospective monetary
conference. It is already safe to predict
that no such delegates will be appointed.
It Is just as well. Such q conference
would be a farce like those which have
already been held, and would do no
good, but would be fraughtwith possible
harm to the cause of silver. The presi-
dents failure to appoint delegates would
have tendency to hasten that indepen-
dent action regarding silver which the
United States must finally take. All the
talk about an international conference is
carried on for the sole purpose of delay
ing the reconciliation of silver as long
Rs possible. The longer it can be post
poned the more money the gold gamblers
viii make.

cd by the Christians Christ permitted
branches TO be used as a token of rejoic-
ing upon his triunphal entry into Jeru-

Christmas time, when his birth was Gel
ebrated, this symbol of rejoicing should
be resortod to. Some of the early coun-
