SOUND FINANCIAL POLICY.

Secretary Carlisle saved Kentucky
for sound money few weeks ago, and
report says he will again enter the
campaign in that state. This is sup
posed to be because Mr.. Blackburn
will attempt to instill his free-silver
ideas into the Democratic party.
When Mr.. Carlisle produces an argu-
ment it is clear and incisive, and fault
less in logic; and Blackburn is an. at
tractive speaker, and usually claims
the attention and arouses the enthu-
siasm of his audience. Kentucky is a
good battle ground for this fight,
and the people will watch with
interest the result of the contest. The
Horr-Harvey debate did not convince
or convert any one: but we believe the
discussion between Carlisle and Black
burn will strengthen Democracy in
the soundness of its principles on the
money question. Cleveland and Car
Isle have been the salvation of the
party on the financial policy, for if
they had followed the vagaries of Vest
and Bland the present administration
would have wrecked the business in
terests of the country. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the free-trade expert
menJ has bankrupted the treasury and
caused the deepest gloom to settle on
the industries of the nation, it's credit
abroad will be on a firm basis while
obligations held by foreigners are re-
deemed in coin, current among the
commercial nations OF the world. II
change had followed in this regard
the ruin would have been complete,
and it would have required a readjust-
ment of the entire machinery of gov
ernment to bring it again on sub
stantial basis. AS it is, with the in
auguration of the policy of protection,
under Republican executive and con-
gress, industries will again revive, the
treasury will be replenished and the
credit of the country abroad will re-
main on the same solid foundation as
ever. While the public cannot be
considered indebted to the Democratic
party for any benefit received, they
should feel grateful to the executive
and secretary of the treasury for main
tanning the honor and honesty of the
nation amidst the general wreck and
ruin that followed the Inauguration OF
the suicidal Democratic policy.

THE SILVER LINING.

'It's an i'll wind that blows no one
any good,' and bimetallists in the
United States believe there is a silver
lining to the cloud that hangs over re-
form in Great Britain by the recent
election of the Conservatives to parlia-
ment. The Liberal party has been
foremost in every reform for long
years, and during the last decade its
great leader, Hon. W. E. Gladstone,
has devoted the best energies of his
life to secure home rule for Ireland.
In this he was not successful; but
when he resigned and Lord Roseberry
took the premiership it appeared as
though this object might be attained.
But the large majorities by which the
Conservatives were restored to power
have wrecked every hope in this regard,
and poor Ireland must be content with
her condition for some time yet. The
sympathy of the United States has been
with the Irish in their struggle for
independence, and both political par
ties in this country have had planks in
their national platforms in favor of
home rule. While all expectations of
the amelioration of the people of Great
Britain have been SO rudely blasted by
the change in politics in the empire
the leaders of the conservatives have
always had strong leaning in favor
of the white metal, and this causes
considerable satisfaction to the silver.
ties in this country; perhaps more
than if ireland had been isolated by
the success of the policy of the Liber-
ais. The Populists, if at all consist
ent, will introduce plank in favor of
the Conservative party and bi-metal-
ism in their next national platform.
Reforms of all kinds were inaugurated
by the Liberals. The franchise was
extended, the land court established
in ireland, and other measures became
laws; but they stood firmly by the sim
gle standard, and paid little attention
to the efforts made for bimetalism.
On the other hand, the Conservatives
have opposed all these movements for
reform, but have had a tendency to be
favorable to the white metal. 1t will |
be seen whether this silver lining to
the cloud will operate with our people |
to make friends for the party in power,
Notwithstanding the fact that their
success will be the defeat of the great
est advancement projected in the Brit
ish empire for the past half century.

TRAGEDY AT ASTORIA.
A Man Shot His Wife Then Killed Him

Man Shot His Wife Then Killed Him.
ASTORIA, Or, Aug. 27.-About D
o'clock this morning, Francis Feakes,
the keeper of small huckster shop IN
the lower portion of town, without
known cause or provocation, and while
in temporary fit of insanity, 1t Is
supposed, fired two shots out OF a re-
volver at his wife, and then deliber-
ately placed the revolver at his right
temple and blew the whole top OF his
skull off. The attention of neighbors
was attracted by the children OF the
couple, six in number, who escaped
from the house by jumping out OF the
window. When the house was reached
Feakes was found dead on the floor,
and his wife was unconscious from the
effects of two wounds in the head.
The house where the tragedy was
enacted is situated in the extreme
eastern section of the city, and the
particulars so far ascertained have
been very meager. The woman has
been removed to the hospital, but ply
sicians say she cannot recover. 1t is
said the couple did not get along we'll
together, and have lately met with
financial reverses, which may account
in some measure for the husbands

1t is said that in proportion to pop.
ulation, Germany raises nearly ten
times as many potatoes as the United
States, and finds them profitable
crop. AS this country is importing
between 1000, 900 and 8, 900, 900 bushels
OF potatoes year, our farmers should
take the hint, and need have no fear OF
over-production." Means of transpor-
tation that will not absorb all the
profits, has heretofore stood in the
way of potato farming, but obstacles
OF that nature are disappearing and
farmers are raising more potatoes.

THE PEOPLE BENEFITED.


The following from q Democratic
exchange has an anarchistic and COM
munistic tendency, and is some of the
most demagogism we have ever seen
in print:
''Great Britain is going to spend more
money on her navy, and run the grand
total up to s5Oo,OOO,0 900. This is the
sum the toilers and workers have paid
to defend the property of the privi-
legged and aristocratic, those who live
from the fruits of the toll of others.
A wealthy man who works, who uses
his brain or his muscle, is not
burden; but one who invests his money
in bonds and enjoys the income is
more of a parasite than if he were a
tramp or pauper."
If one was to acknowledge that the
''toilers and workers" paid all the
government taxes, and the "privi-
legged and aristocratic' went free then
there would be some reason in the
argument; but if the premises are
proved incorrect the fabric falls To the
ground mass of shapeless ruins.
Now, what are the facts in the case,
and who pays the taxes or the $780,
100000 for the improvement of the
navy in Great Britain? In that
country there is tax on property,
and also on the incomes, and these
burdens fall almost entirely on
the wealthier classes. The wage
Garner pays no taxes, except, per-
haps, indirectly on his tobacco or other
luxuries that he uses, while his aristo-
cratic neighbor divides with the gov
ernment on his French wines and
champagne and also ON his income.
Great Britain might spend ten times
the amount on its navy, and he who
receives from fifteen to twenty shil-
lings week would not be taxed to the
value of one penny: while the wealthy
landowner or manufacturer would be
forced to pay to the revenue collector
heavy sums. The $500, 100000 appro-
priated will be blessing to the labor
ers of the united kingdom. 1t will
keep the navy yards in operation, give
employment to. all classes of labor,
and puts in circulation that amount of
money. Public expenditures are a
benefit to the people of any country,
and an attempt to make them tax on
the laboring men for the benefit of the
privileged and aristocratic classes is
demagogism of the most despicable
kind, and should receive the severest
censure of all patriotic citizens.
What is true in the British empire
is doubly so in the United States.
Here, the sovereignty rests with the
people, and all appropriations by con-
gress draws the money out of the treas
ury and sends it in circulation. For this
: reason we have always been in favor
of congress setting aside the necessary
sums for the completion of public
works, believing that it would relieve
the necessities of the laboring masses,
and would attract the benefits of gov
ernment to the toiling classes. This
is true regarding the British democ-
ratio monarchy and the American re-
public; but not perhaps in reference
to Germany, Russia or other countries
where the people are not considered
as factor or element of government.

WAS A DEPERATE BATTLE.
Man Attacked by Gang of Loafers
Wounds Three of Them.


NEWARK, Nj, Aug. 29.-Three
men shot, two of them probably fatally,
is the result of an affray which took
place last night on New Jersey Rail-
road avenue, near the Market-street
station of the Pennsylvania road. The
man who did the shooting was John
Moore, 35 years old, employed as a
bartender. His victims were John
O'Brien, q years of age, shot in the
back of the head, and skull probably
crushed; James O'Brien, % years old,
shot in the forehead, not serious; John
Donlan, shot in the left breast.
Moore is locked up at the police
station. He is in piUiable condition,
his face battered almost out of human
semblance and his body covered with
bruises. The locality in which the
shooting took place is known as "The
Bend" and is close to the River-street
bridge of the Morris canal. On this
bridge there is always crowd, whose
practice it is to hold up people for the
price of drink.
The story told by Moore as to what
led up to the affray is believed by the
police to be correct. He says he had
incurred the enmity of some of these
loafers by his refusal to treat them.
Yesterday they threatened to ''do him
up" When Moore was ready last
night to leave his place he saw his
enemies near the bridge. He had to
cross the bridge to get home, and fear
ing an attack, placed revolver in his
pocket. When he reached the bridge
he was attacked, and before he could
draw his revolver was knocked down,
while several of his assailants began
to kick and punch him. He shouted
for help, and after struggle reached
his revolver and regained his feet.
He at once opened fire. Some of the
attacking party ran, but others rushed
at him, and he had to retreat, running
and firing as he ran. The first man to
fall was John O'Brien. AS O'Brien
fell Moore stopped over and dealt him
a heavy blow on the back of the head.
Moore retreated few steps further,
and turning again, fired another shot,
striking James O'Brien in the center
of the forehead, and glancing of.
Two more shots were fred by Moore,
one of which struck Dolan in the left |
breast. The noise attracted the police, |
who arrested Moore and sent the !
wounded men to the city hospital.

TO BUY THE PANAMA CANAL.
The Plan of Three New Jarsey Capital
lists.

The Plan of Three New Jarsey Capital.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Aug. 2S.-
Philip Weigel, a hardware merchant,
was asked today as to the correctness
of the following statement which ap-
peared in the issue of August 24th, of
the Mercantile and Financial Times of
New York:
"Philip Weigel is virtually the head
of a project involving 100000, 600
which will be public property and an
assured thing within the next year
and half. In this stupendous under
taking no one but inha bitants of Jersey
soil will be employed"
Mr.. Weigel said that three men in
this country, of whom he was one, had
planned to buy the entire interest of
the Inter-Ocean Panama Canal Com
pany, taking up the work where it had
been left off and prosecuting it to a
successful end. According to Mr..
Weigel the syndicate will begin work
within the next 18 months. By that
time, he said, the privileges and
grants held by the present Panama
Company will have expired, and ar
rangements having been made with
the United States and other govern
ments to extend these privileges, the
work will go with vigor. Mr.. Weigel
said the agreements, releases and other
accessories to the transfer have been
drawn up, and the new company has
simply to deliver the contract to be in
full possession.
