WHY NOT?

The latest rumor in the world Of
politics and finance is that George J..
Gould desires to become q member Of
the United States senate, and 1t was
this ambition that induced his remov-
alto New Jersey. He had an eye to
business In the matter, for it would
cost him million or more to buy
seat in New York, while the expendit-
ure OF q hundred thousand or so would
secure him the election in New Jer-
sey. Gould would be valuable addi-
ton to the money kings of the senate.
Exchange.
Why not? Why not elect him presi-
dent? You could count on 1000 plur-
atty for him in Minnesota, with the
help of the Democrats! And the men
who would oppose him would be called
anarchists. The Democratic and Be-
publican daily papers are fusing [see
how Pyle moved over from the Pioneer
Press (rep.), to the editorial chair Of

GETTING THE TRAP READY

The Minneapolis Tribune says:
THE Democratic party Is so hope
lessly divided on the subject of free
silver coinage that it Is difficult to see
how it can avoid split in its next
national convention on that import
ant subject, unless it shall have been
settled In the meantime by reStOra-
tion Of general prosperity under exist
Ing conditions, which would destroy
the force Of the argument of the free
silver coinage advocates that the
hard times have been caused by the
suspension Of silver coinage, or by an
international agreement, which is not
improbable. Present indications point
to possibility that when the time
arrives for holding national cOnven-
lions next year negotiations for an in
ternational agreement on the subject
OF silver coinage may be so far ad
vanced as to render it likely that one
may be arranged. In either event
the force of the main argument in IA
vor OF free silver coinage will be al
most wholly destroyed. In that case
the Democratic party may avoid a
split and be able to present q united
front in the next great contest"
Let us "read between the lines"
ana this IS what the foregoing says:
1--WE are sorry the Democratic party
is likely to be torn to pieces, and the
fight come directly between the Mon
empower, represented by the Republi-
can party, and the Populists. The
Democratic party Is valuable to US
as "buffer" There is however hope
that If we can get up sham inter
national conference we may postpone
the silver fight until after the next
presidential election; and as the Mon
Empower controls all the govern
ments of Europe they will help us to
arrange any kind of bogus game and
trick we can desire, and just about a
month before the election of 1896 they
will make it appear that England and
all the other nations are about to re-
monetize silver! We are in a tight
place and must play it low down."
That is an exact translation of what
the Tribune means.

IN FA TORt OF. BIMETALLISM

Berlin. May l6.-In spite of the fact
that the chancellor, Prince Hohen-
lobe, deprecated the matter, the up
per house of the Prussian diet, by a
vote of Y TO 80, adopted the. resolution
of Count Won Mirbach in favor of steps
being taken for the prompt settlement
Of the currency question by an agree
ment as to international bimetallism.
1t is hard to say whether. universal
misery has driven the German govern

simply another of the. tricks of the
horsepower to keep the American
people quiet by the hope of interna-
tional bimetallism, until tho election

Plutocracy will loosen its grip until
il jaws are pried apart by bayonets.

This is a mistake. The A. P. A.
charged that the Catholics had con-
spired to kill President Lincoln, nd
that Booth was their agent. / showed
that that charge was ridiculously un-
true; and said. that when Booth was
killed Canadian bills of exchange were
found on his person.; and that Prof.
Simms came from Canada, but l would

WHICH ARE WORSE?

THE ANARCHISTS OF NEW JERSEY,
AND THE THIEVES OF MINNESOTA.
You have heard of New Jersey? 1t
is small country on the Atlantic
coast, ruled by anarchists, democratic
and republican anarchists. An inves-
tigation now in progress shows they
sold they carpets and furniture OF the
state capitol. Even the safes were
and at once sold. Again and again
this was done. Everything purchased
was paid for at two to three times Its
value. The people, who support these
anarchists, of course paid the bills
about half million. OF course it is
nobody's but their own. but what
puzzles me is what fun they find in
voting for men and parties who do
these things. But they must enjoy it
else they would not do 1t. They are a
very peculiar eople in New Jersey,
very queer. They remind me so much
of all the people in the United States.
''There is no accounting for tastes
as the old woman said when she kissed

This record almost equals that OF
Minnesota. A committee was appoint
ed two years ago to inquire into al
legged robberies of the pine lands of
the state, part of the patrimony of
the little children.
The committee proceeded to inves'
tigate; and it forced the return OF
$40, 900 of the stolen money; and made
plain that the state had been robbed
of millions of dollars of pine land and
other timber.
What then did the people of Mime
sofa do? BY $4,000 plurality they re-
elected the political party under
whom these gigantic robberies ha6
taken place; drove the chairman Of
the committee out of public life, AND
then refused to go any farther IN the inresti
