NO USE DENYING 1T.

No matter how much Republicans
who predicted a series of disasters to
be the consequence of Democratic leg
islation may attempt to reconcile their
representations with existing facts.
it must be clear to every fair mind
that, to use the mildest language, they
made most egregious mistake.
Acontemporary which is daily en-
deavoring to wiggle its way out of the
hole in which it finds itself on this
question, has admitted more than once
that the same predictions of woe
which were made by the Republicans
before the passage of the tariff law
were repeated after it was enacted.
To justify those forecasts it says now
the same feature of disasters was pre-
dicted and it has come to our wool in
terests, to our lead interests and in
many other interests
Now what are the facts patent be-
fore the eyes of the whole American
people? They are that instead of dis
aster coming to any of these interests
since the enactment of the Demo-
cFdIic ddIfH law, improvements in all
the departments of industry have been
marked. The particular interests men
toned have not met with disaster,
but they have very materially inn
proved. Whatever theories may be
put forth as to the cause of the
troubles that fell upon the country
about the time the Democratic admin
istration succeeded to power, it cannot
be truthfully denied that all the dis
asters which our Republican friends
are continually attributing to Demo-
cratic success, fell upon the country
under the operation of laws enacted
by the Republicans.
The Mckinley law was in full force
up to the time when the reform tariff
bill was an accomplished fact. During
the few months which have ELAPSED
since the bill became law, the exact
reverse of all that was predicted by
the Republicans has taken place. All
the sophistry and word-twisting and
theorizing that Republican papers
which are not frank enough to admit

INCREASING, NOT sUBsIDING.

The so-called sound money" advo-
Gates must be a little disturbed over
the news that comes from the Demo
cratic conventions held in two or three
of the states over the silver question.
There seems to be general under
standing among the goldite papers of
the East that they shall endeavor to
impress the public mind with the idea
that what they call 1.-The silver craze"
has subsidized and the agitation is
nearly over. Time will prove that they
are very much mistaken in their policy.
The interest in the silver question
among the American people is I'M
abated, and the demand for the free
and unlimited coinage of the white
metal increases rather than dimin-
ishes as the masses of the people be-
come more familiar with the subject.
The army of silver men in Missouri
should be taken as an object lesson by
the papers which are deceiving them
selves and trying to deceive the public
in regard to the silver movement. And
although in Iowa the free and indie
pendent coinage of silver advocates did
not prevail, yet the fact that they
polled al the state convention 42015
votes should be taken as evidence that
the silver movement is still alive and
right to the front The majority of
81 votes in that convention must not
be taken as a goldite majority The
resolution adopted on the silver vIues-
ton is identical with the currency
plank of the Democratic national con-
vention of 1892.
1t is true that international agree,
ment, or some legislation which shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of
the two metals, is a provision that
stands in the way of free silver coin,
age without waiting for the action of
other nations. But Notwithstanding
that, the majority in the Iowa con-
vention cannot be claimed as gold
monometallists. On the contrary. they
declare for bimetallism and demand
the use of both and silver as the stand
ard money of the country, and also
the coinage of both gold and silver
without discrimination against either
metal or charge for mintage
However, what is called the "silver
craze" means, Of course, the demand
for the restoration of silver as primary
money without waiting for the action
of any other country. But the proofs
are ample that this demand instead of
subsiding is increasing. And when the
for the next presidential /
election shall commence, it will be
found that this silver sentiment has
taken hold of the masses of the people |
in such manner that it cannot be |
dealt with as a "craze," or ridiculed |
out of existence, or suppressed by the |
sophistries of the so-called Sound |
orators and papers. Bimetai- |
ism is the true monetary policy of the
United States and some. time it is
bound to be restored

woMEN.s RIGHTS IN BunMAH.

It is not generally known that there
is an oriental country where the
women enjoy the absolute freedom of
person and property and where they
stand on an absolute equality with
men. The law, the religion and the
customs of that country secure them
in this liberty. That country is
Burmah.
In Burmah girls and boys share
equally in all inheritance. Women
retain their property after marriage.
The husband cannot control it nor
has he any legal proprietorship over
the wife. Most of the women of the
humblest class of peasantry can read
and write and they are thoroughly
acquainted with household work.
They can all read and sew and en-
broider and are adopts at cooking.
Education, however, is not quite as
advanced among the women as
among the men, because women can
not go to the monasteries where boys
are taught the higher branches. But
they make up for this by doing most
of the trading the retail trade
transacted being practically in the
hands of the women. The girls never
become nuns, it is stated. Such
women as do take the vows are old
persons who have become weary of
ordinary life.
In Burmah there is an absence of
that feeling which is commonly called
chivalry. Men do not praise women
in word elevating them in theory as
angels, but then they do not treat
them as slaves nor as dolls The two
sexes are equal so far as such
equality is possible, and yet the
oddly, pictured before the American
people as the consequence of women's
progress, and popularity known as the
new woman has no eXistance in
Burmah. Still it is declared that the
Burmese nation accords to its women
more absolute liberty than any ma
ton under the sun

AFFAIRS IN EGYPT.

Egypt appears to be in a most ter
rIble financial condition. The agricuI-
tural classes, from whom are derived
the chief revenue to the state, are i'm
poverished to a terrible degree. The
consequence is that there is a great
decrease Of revenue, and the creditors
of Egypt are in danger of going with
out the interest which is due to them
if not of loss of some of the princi-
pal advanced.
1t is claimed that the precautionary
measures dictated and decreed by the
great powers, particularly in 1880 and
1885, have been misapplied and evad-
ed, and, as declared by one French
authority, have been altogether
trampled upon. Treaties between
Egypt and France require that con-
sultation shall be had with the French
Parliament when any change of policy
is to be adopted in Egypt. These
agreements have not been kept and
the French committee on Egyptian
affairs have a very serious difficulty
confronting them.
Egypt has really been under British
domination for many years. The coun-
try has been drained of its resources
to pay what is due to British ca,stal-
lists, and, were it not for the power
exercised by way of restraint from
European governments. Egypt would
no doubt have been long ago gobbled
up as prey to British conquest and
rapacity. The Egyptian question is
one that viii yet cause trouble among
the European powers

THE GOLD SHIPMENTS.


Gold continues to go out Of the conn
try, and will continue to do so while
present conditions last
But those conditions are of artificial
creation and are subject to control by the
men who created them, and they do not
seem TO promise harm TO the treasury.
The situation in brief is this. The bond
syndicate bankers. who are also the larg-
est dealers in foreign exchange, have put
up the price OF exchange to a point at
which it is cheaper for persons who have
remittances to make to ship gold than to
buy drafts. The syndicate bankers find
a handsome profit in selling exchange at
they are in no way embarrassed by the
export of a million or so of gold each
week. 1t is true they are under contract to
protect the treasury hoard. but they have
means of doing that without lowering ex-
change rates for the present at least.
They are heavy holders of gold and can
make good all withdrawals.-New York

MISS FLAGLER's FATAL SHOT.

Miss Flager's unintentional killing of
the negro boy at Washington establishes
conclusively and for the ninth time the
only safe rule of conduct for a woman
with firearms. Miss Flager declares that
she raised the window and, without aim
ing the weapon, fred two shots into the
to brighten the young African who was
stealing her fathers pears. OF course
both shots lodged in the boys vitals.
Either would have been fatal Now, if
Miss Flager had borne in mind the rule
to- which we have alluded, and had taken
careful aim at the boy. he would have es-
capped all harm, except such as might
have arisen from the fright she intended
to produce. When woman wishes to
kill she may generally bring down her
man firing almost anywhere except in his
direction. If she wishes to miss, she can
not be too particular about her AIM
