THE EDITORS on AN EDITOR

When the recent tragedy occurred at
Enid which resulted in the death Of
the city marshal and a land-office Of
fetal. while the land Office official was
attempting 10 chastise an editor for a
certain publication. some curiosity
arose as TO just how the Oklahoma edi-
tors generally would view the matter.
and what comments they would make
in regard 10 the innocence or culpa-
bility OF their brother editor.
The Eagle has watched the Okla
hoIna papers closely for expressions Of
opinion with the result that IL has
found the editors OF Okla bona divided
into three sections on the matter.
II should first be said that the edi
tors opinion in his craft is different

A GOLDBUG CHIRPS.

James B. Colgate, a Wall street mag
nate of recognized authority on gold
and silver bullion startled the sound
money committee Of the chamber of
commerce last Friday by the unquali-
fed statement that the price of gold is
fixed by the coinage laws Of the various
countries and for which reason the
law Of supply and demand cuts no
figure in the price Of that bullion. The
price Of gold bullion has no market
quotation, said that financier, because
the knok-dOwn price is fixed by the
mint laws Of Great Britain. which
price is legalized by the United States
and other countries. If gold were
demonetized no financier Of the world
could even guess at the price it would
said that from June II, '94, to June u,
80, the gold in the vaults Of Europe
had been increased $147, 400 900, these
European governments now holding
the almost incOnceivable sum Of ST.
3OS, 100000. This Independent Wall
street financier farther told the COM
mittee that gold exports were all right;
that the people Of this country could
better afford to have it exported, that
silver is practically the only money
of eight hundred and fifty millions Of
people of the world, few of whom COM
paratively ever see gold; that therefore
silver is the best money for universal
currency and that it ought to be coined
in that ratio which can only be deter
mined by what they would hold when
treated alike. In other words, let the
governments of the world also fix the
Touchdown price of silver. If that
price failed then change il. Mr.. Col
gate farther holds that there is prob
ability OF a general European war in
which event all national debts would
be wiped out, through the destruction
of the evidences of such debts, as has
occurred several times in the worlds
history. He closed his talk with the
declaration that the European deposits
Of silver in banks had decreased the
last year 100000 and that so far
as the world is concerned there has
been no increase Of silver money but
a decrease. The pertinent question is
what does it mean?
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-07-10

ton Of silver, or other change in the
banking system of the country, where
by all the money of the people would
be kept in general distribution instead
Of being in digestion in one gorged
center, there will come not only a re-
newal of growth for Wichita but such
a solid expansion and development as
will enable her to demand her long
withhld freight-rate rights, and at the
same time to command the adverse in
f1uences which have stood combined
against her.
Under the new and renewable con-
ditions new banking capital will come
and with chance for the enterprises
which have languished for the want
of capital; immigration money will
flow in, and farms will be made farms,
and crops will will be crops, and coun-
try and city, alike, will move up
through prosperity to greatness.
The goldbug manipulation may be
able to dictate party nominations and
to control legislation, whereby the
currency Of the country may remain
cornered in New York, and the gold Of
the world continue to be regulated by
our British national creditors for years
to come, still Wichita has seen her
darkest day. Independent of the mon
etary situation at large, her own favor
able local surroundings and reclaimed
conditions warrant a degree Of pros
perity which compared with the
squeeze Of the past five years will seem
abundant South Kansas and Okla
homa have had their sweat and there
is courage in the air, and a confidence
Of better things. The days Of dia-
monds and champagne are gone but
so also are the days Of hunger and des-
titution. An improvement of the in
duStria,l financial and commercial in
terests of the country at large would
accelerate Wichita'S forward move
ment, but even in the absence Of these
with four or five good crop years Wich-
ita will be herself again, the proudest,
richest and greatest city in Kansas.

THAT BLIND POOL.

On the first day OF October next, ac-
cording to the deal engineered by
Cleveland. the blind pool, organized by
J. Pierpont Morgan. is to withdraw
its support from the L. s. treasury and
the Sl0O0O0.0O gold reserve is TO be
left to shift for itself. or in other words
left to the mercy of the fellows who
will be holding the S34I 100000 of
greenbacks. which fellows constitute
the blind pool. What is going 10 hap
pen verybody knows. The treasury
will be again looted of its yellow metal
which will be sold back 10 the govern
ment on a few millions margin profit
This may be interesting but it Is not
the less Notifying. To say that any
thing so humiliating could have hap
pened under a Republican president
would be impossible.
The government having delivered up
the treasury OF the people to blind
pool finds itself in a pickle, so far as
the world can discern, but probably
not SO far as Mr.. Cleveland and the
members Of the blind POOLS interest
are concerned Individually. For eight
or Ten millions Of dollars in gold the
blind pool men agreed TO turn over so
much gold for so many bonds, and
further 10 leave the gold in the treas
ury until the first OF October. But
October VIII soon be here and then
what next?
Mr.. Albert G.. Stevens IN the Review

The whole dis-raceful transaction up
TO the point of the agreement, but he
does not tell us what is going to happen

whose fraternal nature permits them
to combat one another within the pro-
fession but not out Of It. The editor
can enjoy or exercise no such protec-
ton. He is running an establishment
in which the subscriber is, in a way,
strange to say, a sort Of stakeholder.
When brother editor falls or gets into
trouble, it is the editors duty TO give
an unbiased, cold. matter-of-fact IN
professional opinion as to the right and
wrong in the matter. He Is not II
censed to defend his brother profes-
sional, knowing that he is guilty.
The Oklahoma editors consequently
took up Mr.. Isenberg's case in the mat
ter and discussed it without bias. Most
all Oklahoma editors are bitter fight
ers. Most all Of them have said things
more personal and injurious than the
article which caused the Enid tragedy.
They viewed it three ways One
class. and ii was in the majority de-
Tended. Another class which was very
small denounced him. A third class
gave the matter as a piece Of news and
avoided the expression Of an opinion.
The opinions given We're without
thought Of political utilization or diff
ference. The Guthrie Capital, a Re-
publican paper said:
Editor Isenberg told no untruth about
Patterson. He told only the truth. This
is notorious fact at Enid. The article
named no one IN the supposed excoriation.
Patterson put the shoe on voluntarily when
ne attacked Isenberg. an unarmed man,
with a gun. MI niS bonum" is q pleas
ant theory. but the lives Of men live live
after them. and no charity should cause
condemnation Of the blameless living to
shield the not blameless dead. IT'S a dark
spot in Isenberg's career. but he did no
more than editors must do. il men in high
places persist in shocking public decency
by fragrant immorahties and then deem
1t proper TO defend these acts with the
bullet"
The Newkirk Democrat said:
ut was a difficulty that should nave
been settled in the courts and not in
brutal combat. We have known Isenoerg
for years and our observation has been
that he is usually on the right side Of a
question and fearless as a devil OF pub
lic opinion. His independence is admir-
able. An investigation Of the land-of-
flee affairs may prove true the charges
published and IL so the blame for this
sad affair cannot be placed upon the
Wave
The Oklahoma City Times-Journal
said:
From statements now in possession of
the people, it is difficult to see how Editor
1SenberY can be held In anyway RESPONSE
BILE for the death Of the two men at Enid.
1t Is said that Patterson was guilty of
even more than charged. Isenberg had
the misfortune to be attacked and to be
the subject over which the killing oc-
CURED. Otherwise. he is blameless. un-
less it is a crime to defend a friend and
protect the community by disclosing the
rOttenness Of officials serving it,
In conclusion this much may be said.
Waving the necessity of unbiased
editorial opinion, still it is gratifying
to see the editor stand by the editor in
tribulatiOn.
