New York, March 25,-It has been
noted that the advance IN silver Is
largely due 10 the fact that western
producers are holding back In antici-
patton OF a silver boom. The leading
bullion brokers OF this city deny that
there IL any foundation for This move

The Gun was Am Right.

Last week one of our popular gun
stores was visited by farmer of leu
tonic persuasion. He was grizzly with
whiskers and his embonpoint gorgeous.
He wanted o gun-a cheap one. he
was shown several modern engines Of
game destruction. but the prices were
all out of reach Of his finances He
didn't like the place. He couldn't do
well there.
The gun store man happened to think
Of an old Zulu gun which had been ex-
changed for a more modern arm, and
desiring to rid himself of it offered It 70
the old farmer for 81. The price was
all right and as the hayseed clutched
the fifteen-pound hammer and raised it
o widespread look of satisfaction settled
on his complacent features as gracefully
as belated green head drops his legs
in q puddle at nightfalL he blew In
the muzzle and got red in the face.
With look Of whitening scorn he
handed the gun back to the store man
remarking that the gun wouldn't shoot.
II was stopped up.
"Oh. that's all right, replied the
merchant as he placed big new hat

smoke cleared away the horrifed gun
man found that the hidden load had
ruined about 10000 much advertised
top wads. blown out of existence q
whole row of petmecky cleaners, to sAy
nothing Of the hole in the wall and the
fine Of $40 which he had to pay in the
morning.
The farmer was the first to recover
his equilibrium. His extended hand
contained 81. which he gave to the
dealer. Then he grabbed the Zulu and
waddled out with the air of q farmer

And no lost balls or broken toys

Reform u Profession With tho Party-Oe-
lusIou Of tue Leaders.
Lieut.. Gor. Sutton, Of Mo- York, "a North AHaf.
con Rcver.
Tho Democratic party has never in
this generation had the genuine conf.
dsnco OF the people. For nearly half a
century it has been on the wrong side Of
every great national issue. 1t has
shown an amazing capacity for commit
ting political blundsrs, some OF which
we're equivalent to political crimes.
How shall a man escape from his an-
cestors," exClAims Emerson, "or draw
off from his veins the black drop which
he drew from his fathers or his mothers
liieT" There has always been an irre-
sistible tendency in the Democratic
party to do just tho thing 1t ought not
TO do. Speaking OF It as an individual,
We would say that there 10 q faint in the
blood, n faint OF weakness and inca
pacity II nothing worse. For somo years
past il has masqueraded as the party OF
economy and reform. There is no doubt
but that Democratic leaders arc always
in favor Of honest and economical gov.
ernment by the Republican party. For
illustration, We remember that in 1899
the "billion dollar congress" was de-
nouuced by every Democratic orator and
Newspaper in the land. Tho next con-
gress, which was Democratic in both
branches, went FAR beyond tho billion
dollar mark, aud there haa been an i'm.
pressive silence eve since upon the sub.
Jet Of retrenchmsnt in national expen
dilurSs. 1heie are Gome leaders Of the
party who have a genuine desire to re-
form those abuses which in their iudg.
mont need reformation. They are rs a
rule Of the mugwnmp variety and their
number ia not large, Their d0lusion 10
the belief that they represent in that To-
Specl tho masses OF the Democratic
party. Nothing could DO farther from
the truth. Reform 10 a profession and
not a practice with tho Democracy.
When wo hear about it from Democratic
leaders wo may be- sure that 1t Is TOR d

The question 10 be decided in the city
OF New York ia whether tho people are
strong enough to held what they gained
last year. This dopsuds on the peO'
ple themselves. TSmmanY has not
changed. /. cannot change except to
cease to pc.
There Ia no reason to suppese'that tho
people are any less deiircus now than
they were year ago Of having decent
audeficiont government, but it happens
that in the very liberalization to give
good government tho honest admins
traitors of the law have aroused resent
men. that may restore Tammauy to
power.
The police commissioners found the
excise law on the books and gave notice
tha.thsy would enforce it This meant
that they would enforce II aGainit
everybody. Tammany had enforced 1t
against those who would not pay for
police ~Sprotectiou," and that very law
against which Tammany has hOwled 90
Justify during this campaign was n oil
the most potent of Tauuany in'sFu'
ments.
Unfortunately 1t 10 beyond question
tha. many who voted against Tammany
last yea will support 1t this year to
register their protest against the en-
iorcement Of the excise law. The ex'
tent of this reyol. will determine tho
issue OF the contest. Both sides profess
confidence in the result

Il will be striumph for honest city gov.

and little to put forth their best efforts
TO try to strengthen our system Of gov.

shown itself to be weakest In the mat

the people will 1t otherwise.
