Two Reformers Part.

The retirement from politics of Herr
Fairchild, the Hon. Charles S., is treat
ed with adm1ring but stern justice by
Herr Ottendorfer, Oswald, in the
IStaats-Zeitung, from which Herr Fair
child, while figuring actively in Mug
wump politics, has received his most
sympathetic support. Herr Ottendor-
fer crowns him now for his long efforts
against the ..unprincipled spoils sys-
tenn" hut unfortunately, even from
the lips OF praise. there must come
condemnation for Herr Fairchild's fail
ure to show his usual fidelity to princi-
pie (Prinziptreue) upon one great ques-
ton:
I'm the last campaign Mr.. Fairchild
did not show his usual fidelity to prin-
ciple, SO far as one question was con-
cerned. He did not understand the
uprising on the Sunday issue, and.
like most native Americans, saw in 1t
only question of beer. # he had ap-
piled Democratictic principles to the
subject. he would have como to a diff

Woman Suffrage.

There may be feather headed people
who think that, because woman suf-
frage has been defeated Ia Massachu-
setts, there will be an end to the up-
roar over it. Why. on the same day
that it was rejected there, It was
adopted in Utah; and, when Utah shall
become State Of the Union, q month
or two hence, it will have Constitu-
tion which guarantees the right OF suf-
frage to the women OF the State, it
will be the third of the States in which
women have the full suffrage, and tho
thirtieth of them in which they ENJOY
the suffrage, limited.
The Massachusetts defeat has not
given the woman advocates moment's
pause in their campaign. We have to
report their meeting all the time.
They held State Convention in New
burgh last week. right on the heels
of the November elections. They
have invaded the South, aroused
Georgia from its slumbers, and raised
their voices at Atlanta. They cay
they will make this winter the busiest
yet. The soul OF woman is marching
on. What Is the meaning Of yester-
days coronation OF the octogenarian.
Mrs. Stsntonp
Oh. no. We have not heard the
last of woman suffrage. Connections
may be dry In the cause; Massachu-
setts may be dryer; yet the skies over
New York may be like brass. These
are but incidents in war which will
go on until the cause is won, or the
women are tired OF 1t. all tired out In
the vain struggle.-N Z. Sun.

No Overproductlon of Silver or Gold.

A contributor to the Post Dispatch
says: find some interesting figures in
the United States Treasury report for
1898. and submit them to for publi-
cation, hoping that some of our ..sonnd
money" friends will be kind enough to
explain them, SO that the working
class may comprehend the causes that
have led us to our present condition
and have caused silver to be worth on
ly 68 cents per ounce. whilst gold is
worth thirty times 6S cents.
The production of gold and silver,
as per United States Treasury report,
is as follows: The amount of gold pro-
duced in the world for one hundred
years, from 1892 to 1892 was $5, $685.
908, 900; silver for same period was
IS. 104, ,961 900 (coin value). This is
a fraction less than 6 to l ratio, The
amount of gold produced in the world
from 1892 to 184S was 1921. .O86, 900;
amount of silver for same period was
81, 651, ,217, 900. This shows that the
production OF silver for this Sc years
was at ratio of over SO to /. Now,
during this entire time, the world over,
silver and gold circulated at ratio of
16 to 1. From 1849 to 1892 inclusive,
the gold production of the world was
81, 842, 822. 600; silver to the same
period was $3. 555.744, 900 dollars,
showing the gold productions for the
forty-four years to be 1,259. .078, 900
more than the silver. or in other words,
that for the past forty-four years, end
ing with 1892, the silver and gold pro-
duction of the world has been at ra-
ito of IL to 1, yet, during the last
twenty years of the forty-four, from
1873 to 1892, silver declined from 16|
to to 80 to /.
Thus we see that the cry of over
production by the s.sound money" adj
vocate is not true in fact (if the United
States Treasury report Is correctly and
they must find another reason for the
present price of silver.
Now, Mr.. Editor. what I wish to al X |
IS with these figures before us, hts
silver deprecated or has gold appre-
ciated in value? What had demoneti |
sation to do with the present price tf
,old and silver in the markets OF the
world? If demonetization il not the
,ause of gold and silver being at ra-
10 of SO to l in the markets Of the
world, what is? As we see by the
Government statistics that in the hum
Ired years ending with 1892, there
vas no overproduction of either metal.

To Dismember Turkey.

1t is now reported that Russia and
France have formed an alliance with
the ultimate view of seizing Turkey.
Naturally, this has alarmed England,
as it has been chiefly Through English
influences that the Turks have retained
a foothold in Europe. For one hum
dred years or more it has been the
dream of Russia to seize Turkey. An
alliance was formed with Bonaparte
with this object in view, but each side
distrusted the other, and it seems Bon
aparte really never had any notion of
permitting Russia to seize Turkey. On
more than one occasion he said that
Constantinople was the gateway to Eu-
rope, and England comedies in this
belief.
The Turkish government is now in
state of anarchy and the sultan is
hourly in danger Of losing his life.
The Armenians are in a state of revolt,
and even the Turks are on the point of
inaugurating a rebellion against the
sultan. The government is about
bankrupt, and worse condition of af-
fairs has not existed since the Crimean
war. Russia has been watching for
just such an opportunity for many
years. and it is scarcely to be doubted
that England has lost great opportun-
ity in allowing Russia to gain such
great advantage as an alliance with
France meaus. Heretofore England
has relied upon the jealousy of France
to oppose Russia, and this, it seems,
has now been overcome.
Civilized people the world over are
heartily disgusted with the policy un-
der which Turkey is permitted to rule.
The Turk is not tit to rule anyone.
He is lazy, vicious and thief by in
stinct. 1t is only through the jealousy
of England, Russia and France that
the Turkish government has been per-
mitted to exist, and it is blot on civ
and standing menace to
the lives and property of all Chris
tians who happen to be within its do
minion. Better one thousand times
that Russia rules than the Turk. Fear
alone keeps the Turk within the
bounds of civilized order, when he is
to be found in this condi-
ton. His religion teaches him that it |
is perfectly right to rob and murder
and all he ever wants is an |
to give vent to his lowest
Instincts. Recent Armenian outrages
are but a sample of what Christians |
are to expect at the hands of Turk
when he feels safe in putting his mur-
lerous desires into execution.
In the interests of civilization, it is
20 be hoped that the Turk may soon
De forever eliminated as a ruling fact
,r in Europe. He has forfeited all
claims upon humanity and enlighten-
nent. and in the interests of civiliza-
ion he must step aside. c. Iri-
,une.
