The Gold shinment..


A break fl the sterling exchange mar
ket has temporarily checked the outflow
OF sold. AT the rate at which gold was
being drawn from the treasury the gold re-
serve would have been exhausted by the
last OF this month. In fact. it might
have been exhausted before the middle OF
this month. because the alarm on account
OF the governments nnancial cor ditior
was Increasing. both in this country and
Europe. The effect Of the alarm in Eu-
rope was 10 cause our securities to be re-
turned while gold could be obtained for
them. and in this country to cause gold
to be drawn from the treasury for the
purpose Of boarding il.
The determination Of the administra-
ton 10 maintain gold payments At any
cost may have the effect Of allaying the
alarm for the present. It is evident. how
ever. that confidence in the ability Of the
government to pay gold on demand can
moi be permanently established. except by
such legislation as would bring into the
treasury sufficient gold TO keep the gold
reserve somewhere near the amount at
which it was originally fixed. Hundreds
Of millions OF dollars worth Of our securi-
ties are held abroad. Only a few Of them
have been returned to this country as yet,
but they would come in a great volume If
the holders Of them should become con-
WINGED that silver was going to become
the standard OF value. The treasury could
not sell bonds fast enough TO get the gold
"a
them.
Tile policy that is now being pursued to
get gold is. of course. only makeshift
That it is so is recognized by congress.
and that It would be folly to continue it
for.a any considerable length Of time is ad-
mitted. The $lO0.OOo09O Of gold that it is
now proposed to get by the sale of { per
cent. bonds might be drawn out of the
treasury before the next congress could be
convened and enact remedial legislation.
Whether it would or not would depend
upon the degree Of confidence there was
in the ability Of the government to main
tain gold payments. There should be
remedial legislation at once, but there
does not seem to be much ground for ex-
pecting there will be, Notwithstanding the
fact that Senator German has announced
that congress VIII do its duty before
March L.
Nobody doubts. of course. that this
country is fully able to maintain its credit.
1t is the richest country in the world.
At the close of the civil war it had $780,
OOO. 900 in bonds outstanding. 1t had only
about 100000 inhabitants and its assess
able wealth was about Sl6,OOO.OOOOOO. Now
1t has less than s7oO. 100000 bonds outstand-
ing, its population is 100000, and its as
sets are more than S7O.OOO,Oo0.OOO. In other
words, since the civil war the country's
assets have increased about 400 per cent.
and its debt has decreased more than &C
per cent.
The lack of confidence is not due to any
doubt of the countrys ability TO maintain
it's credit. but to the disposition shown
by congress not to legislate so that the
national credit can be maintained. If CON
gress will do what is right the national
credit will be all right.

Solomons famous epigram doesn't hold
good. There is new thing under the
sun. Here it is-"dingbats." 1t isn't in
fantile. to be sure. Maine statesman
had personal knowledge of the word and
it's local application in his childhood
Stiu, from a philologic standpoint. it is
lustrously new and gloriously versatile
1t viii stand in the class with blizzard"
''laugwump," doodle" "crank, 80 ''boom, q"
"kh-klux.'' "spondulix.'' and ''pantata."
and ahead of all of them; not only be
cause of its peculiar eXpressiveness, but
because of its truly American elasticity Of
meaning. 1t is capable of more stretching
than an ideal populist currency scheme.
To illustrate: The Maine statesman
above referred to knew the word in this
wise: one day his mother admonished
him, TON, If you don't have that woodbox
filled in fifteen minutes III put the ding
bats on you" Tom was aware she meant
she would spank him with her slipper
He had heard the admoniuon before. and
had suffered the penalty threatened for
failure. So much for the New England
definition. Down in New York state the
word is in use in two colleges. In one
"dingbats" means tho biscuits served at
breakfast which the students dispose OF
byjstcking them to the under side of the
table. as the maiden puts away her chew
ing gum for safe keeping. In the other
school the pupil who is punished-in what
ever manner-by the faculty gets the
dingbats."
In Philadelphia the swell young man
who goes out to have a good time boasts
proudly, when about half seas over, 1--WE
got the dingbats to settle the damages;
set EN- up again." Chicago has caught
on to the word recently. But that original
western metropolis insists upon supplying
a meaning of its own; hence the belle
gives the beau the "dingbats" when she
declines to become his wife.
From these examples it can be seen how
wide a range Of meaning is embraced in
the little word. The variety of actions or
emotions it can be made to express is all
most endless. 'Dingbats." it is reasona-
bly, safe to predict, viii have a big run.
And in passing we may. be permitted tc
say that congress is giving the Demo.
cratic party the dingbats.

So far as can be judged from the re-
ports, the unfortunate captain of the Elbe
is about the only person who achieved
honor during her disastrous wreck. He
died at his post of duty, calling out that
the women and children should be saved
first. His officers and crew seem TO have
been moved solely by the brute instinct of
self preservation. They fought the pas
sengers for life preservers. and forced
themselves into and the passengers away
from the life boats.

What have the democrats, what have

financial question open? The great body
OF both parties agree as to the principle
involved. Each has in it's turn submitted
to be blackmailed by d little faction that
has been supposed to hold the balance
between them, but which was only to be
driven into the open and forced to show
its real strenSth to vanish forever from
American politics. Why not unite once for

gerous crew? 1t can be done within a
fortnight if the leaders on both sides
resolve that II shan be done.

PULLMAN COMPANY WANT DAMAGES
prays for 100000 From the Chicago,
Milwaukee Il ST. Paul

Chicago, May 31.-The suit of the
Pullman Palace Car Company against
the Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railroad for 100000 came up before
Judge Seaman in the United States
court this morning.
In 1882 the. two companies entered in
to 15-year contract which the road
was privileged to end at the expiration
of five, eight or eleven years. The rail-
road furnished 100000 and the Pullman
company 100000 for the building and
equipment of As parlor and sleeping
cars to be run on the road. The Pull
man company was to take charge of
the operation of the cars and each year
render an accounting and make di-
vision of profits according to the inter-
ests of each
The contract provided that the rail-
road should pay the Pullman company
100000 and become sole owner of the
cars and the service. At the expiration
of eight years, in 1890, the railroad gave
notice to the Pullman company of it's
intention to buy out the latter The
Pullman company claimed Sl05,000 for
its fourth interest and the railroad in
sisted on deducting several thousand
dollars for damages to the cars. This
was not allowed and now the Pullman
company is suing for 100000 damages

Reduced Rates to Conventions.

On Saturday, June 1, the Spokane del
egation to the l. o. o. f. state conven-
ton in Tacoma will leave Spokane in a
special sleeper via the Great Northern
railway at II 10 p. IN. This route was Sc
lected by the delegation on account of
its many attractive features, including
the matchless scenery of the Cascade
range and Tumwater canyon, the supe-
rior train service and rock ballast road
bed insuring freedom from dust. The
trip from Seattle to Tacoma will be
made by the steamer Flyer, the fastest
boat on Puget sound, Immediate con-
nection being made at Seattle. The
rate is one and one-fifth fare for the
round trip, on the certificate plan, and
the same basis is in effect from o. r.
& N. stations through to Tacoma, via
Spokane and the Great Northern. 1t
is expected that large number of del
egates from the Palouse country will
avail themselves of this opportunity to
join their Spokane brethren. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Masons will also pat
ronize this route on the occasion of
their meetings in Tacoma. Seattle and

WHAT is A PoLYeAMlsT, ANYHOW
Interesting Question That the Treasury
Department Is Involved in.

Washington, May 31.-An interesting
question has arisen in the treasury de-
partment which involves the legal
meaning of the word "polygamist."
Commissioner General Stumpf of the
immigration bureau has received APP
plications for the admission to this
country of Robert Stenson, his wife
Kate. Barbara Hunton. Lizzie Naylor
and seven children. These immigrants
recently arrived at Quebec from Glas-
gov and in their afiidavits state they
are Mormons in religion and full be-
levers In polygamy and intend to prac
tice polygamy If so inclined on reach
ing their destination, Salt Lake City.
The question involved is whether be-
lief In polygamy of itself and in the
absence of proof of any polygamous
act brings the party within the inhibi-
ton OF the law declaring that polyga-
mists shall not be admitted into this
country. Acting Secretary Wike has
the subject under consideration.
Mr. Stumpf Is of the opinion that the
applicants should be debarred admis-
sion.

IF SENATOR HILL HAD HIS WAY
He Would Exterminate Greenbacks and
Make the Silver Ratio 5 Ii to

J..
Albany. N. Y, May Ex-senator Hill
was asked today whether he had read
Senator Sherman's speech on the none
tary question.
Yes" said the senator, 81 have care
fully perused Senator Sherman's
speech. If an Ohio democrat had made
the speech there would have been CON
domination all along the republican
ranks. The implication startled me that
there are, in prosperous state like
Ohio, republican voters who wish to
degrade our dollar standard repudiate
one-half of our public debt and pay
their debts in cheaper money than they
promised to pay. Senator Sherman
said what was new to me-that for IA
years after the resumption of specie
payment. while the republican party
was in power, we had gold, silver and
paper money. passing current in all
parts of the commercial world. l had
never known that from 1880 to 1884,
when Mr.. Cleveland came. our silver
dollars and greenback dollars were ex-
portable like our gold dollars. One of
my objections to our present govern
ment making full legal tender silver
and greenback dollars is that they are
not exportable.
Il would eXterminate forever the
greenback dollar, which, by it's endless
redemption character, make the chief
est of our existing currency woes. l
would, by international bimetallism es-
tablish the coinage of silver and gold
at ratio of 151s to l and lift our stand
ard silver dollar into worldwide par
ity with our gold dollar.
IF could have my wish would have
the treasury purchase not another
ounce of silver nor another silver dollar
under existing conditions. The posi-
bility of international bimetallism on
ratio of 15h to l has been fairly test
ed by the whole power of the United
States, exerted earnestly and in good
faith by congress, the president and
cabinet, the secretary of state. and the
country's diplomatic and consular
agents everywhere"
CARTER FEELS CONFIDENT.
New York. May 31.-United States
Senator Thomas H. Carter. chairman
of the republican national committee, in
a public statement says:
I'm 1896 the republican party will
stand for protection and the restoration
of bimetallism on a substantial and en-
during basis. There may be differences
of opinion on the schedules, but not
upon the principle of protection.
There will be differences of opinion
as to the best course to pursue to secure
the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver at fixed ratio, but there
will be no difference of opinion as to
the desirability of bringing about that
result.
Upon one question there will be
neither difference of opinion as to the
general principle involved, nor the
| means to be employed. That is with
reference to the restoration of a Wig
orous, thoroughly American foreign pol
