They have 1t now that, IL Mr.. Reed
win not do. Mr.. Platt and Senator
Quay will take up Allison. the senator
from Iowa. AS often as the presidential
year rolls around, Allison is a discussed
possibility. He tried 1t on in the nation
al convention of 1888; with 416 votes
necessary for a choice, he scored nearly
a hundred. This Iowa statesman can
keep more people guessing respecting,
his views on pending questions than
any other man in America; he is the
best trimmer in the land. His neigh
bors know him as a man whose inten-
lions can never be guessed; he does not
know what 1t is to have convictions on
any question. He is on his fourth term
in the senate; he had three or four
terms in the house; and there is moth
ing in his record either to help or to
harm him as a presidential candidate.
AS things go, he would pass as "a good
western man." 1t was Gen. John A.
Logan who said, years ago: You
could cover the floor of the senate with
eggs. and Allison is the only man who
could walk over them without crack

A STRANGE CONFESSION.

Mr.. Ricketts,, attorne ev for the Miners'
In an interview in the Cali. The Miners
Association having proposed to arbitrste
the supposed difficulty between the rail-
road and the mining interest, the railroad
company on its behalf accepted, on con-
dition that the new policy was to be the
only policy. 1t is difficult to perceive
what other position they could have
gaken in the premises. If both parties
are to go on with the contest, no ad-
vantage could come out of any attempt at
compromise, but Mr.. Ricketts, declares
that the contests which have been in
sugurated at Washington were so in
sugurated by his clients, Messrs. Benja-
min and Ralston.
Heretofore Ricketts, has assumed the
role of attorney for the State Miners AS
sociation. In this statement Mr.. Rick
etts confssses that he has been using the
State Association to assist his private
clients; that he has been incorporating
as an association, when in fact he. Ben
jsmin and Ralston. were about all there
was to the institution.
Mr.. Ricketts, also declares that while
he fsvors an amicable arrangement
which shall operate justly to the Minera'
Association, he cannot forego any part
Of the unamicable arrangement which he,
Benjamin and Ralston are engaged in.
It may not be apparent to the obtuse
prescription Of Mr.. Ricketts, that he is
making himself ridiculous, but it will be
apparent to the mining interests of the
State that he cannot, as attorney for the
State Miners Association, consent to an
amicable arrangement and reserve to
himself as an individual the right to re-
pudiate the arrangement and obstruot its
efficiency.

THE Examiner has instituted a COM
parison between the rates charged for the
transportation of grain to the seaboard.
It shows that when grain is low it is q
larger percentage of its value than when
it is high. All this is very we'll. How
would it do, therefore, to adjust the grain
rate to the value of the grain. The En-
amine7'S suggestion leads to this conclu-
sion and no other. If the railroad COM
panies could make rate supplementing
the value of the grain carried to the sea-
board, it would be very glad to do so.
When grain is low ii would make low
rate, and when grain is high and 1t could
afford to pay more, the rate could be
raised. Thus the railroad would assist
the farmer in the hard times and reim-
burse itself for any loss Of revenue out Of
the years in which the price Ia higher.
We simply follow the Examiners infer
ences by making this suggestion.

THE agriculturist can obtain but 160
acres of land from the Government. and
he must do that under the homestead law;
but the miner may obtain very much
larger quantities under the Placer Mining
Act. We have recently been shown q
letter in which parties claim to own $50
acres-two section of land-in the San
Joaquin Valley, which they took up
under the Placer Mining Act, and claim
to have found in it oil and gas. Here.
then, single agricultural holder can get
but 100 acres for his purposes, but min
ing claimant can get 200 acres and more.
containing oil and gas. Twelve hundred
and eighty acres of oil is not monopoly,
but more than l6O acres of land in a
single holding would be crime.

HOW DECENTRALIZATION OF SILL
YER MAY CREATE WEALTH.

The Republic of Mexico is on silver
gold is about 100 per cent. A gentle
man in this State proposes to himself to
take 100000 in gold to Mexico and con-
vert it into $500, 600 of silver money cur
rent In Mexico. This money loaned on
good security will yield s per cent. or
what would be the equivalent of 16 per
cent. on the original gold investment.
The question at once arises, What
would be the gain? The interest would
be payable in silver, and if it is returned
10 this country it would buy but half its
coinage value In gold. But we propose
method by which vast nominal value
can be made real. Let our California
friend take his 100000, purchase 500. 900
Of Mexican silver, loan this 100000 on
mortgages at q safe margin of value. Let
ten thousand other English and Ameri-
can capitalists do likewise until with one
hundred millions of gold they acquire
two hundred million dollars worth of
public bonds and private mortgages, and
then-oh, happy thought-let the Mexi-
can Congress demonetize silver and make
all these securities payable in gold. In
this way the worlds wealth may be aug
mented by sl00.O0O.oO0 of gold obligations
by the added principal, and the interest
will be real thing at 16 per cent. In gold
on the original gold investment.
Every argument now employed to de-
fend the demonstration of silver in 1873
will be available in Mexico at an early
period Gold we all know is the only
money metal of the whole world. Gold
is less liable to huctuation of values
Gold confers credit on any people. Gold
is the only honest money-the double
standard is delusion. Silver is the
money of impoverished nations. Silver
has long since ceased to be a metal OF
coinage. Bimelallism has long since been
abandoned by European nations. No
one can by any possibility lose anything
by demonetizing silver. Abandoning
silver as money metal did not reduce
the products of agriculture in the United
States. In fact, the less silver money a
nation has the richer it becomes. Beside
all this Mexico does not want to be the

Preparations of Street Railway Com
panieS at Atlanta.

TheAtlanta Consolidated Street. Railway
has perfected plans for its terminal at the
Wilson avenue entrance to the exposition
grounds. The station will be circular
and inclosed with 8 circular space. the
track running around in the form of
loop from the entrance to the exit. This
loop will be separated from the exposi-
ton ground by a fence at which turn
stiles Will be located. Going in on the
right of the loop passengers will buy ex-
position tickets and pass through the
turnstiles. Coming out of the exposition
grounds visitors will buy street railroad
tickets and enter doors arranged success
lively along the platform on the left of the
loop. Each door represents car route,
and this will be indicated by signs over
head; all car lines will converge on the
exposition grounds, and passengers re-
turning can take car for any part of the
city. Below the doors OF the different
car routes is an exit marked "overflow,"
and when cars for special routes are not
full, they viii stop at the overflow and
take passengers for the center of the city.
A terminal station similar to this one
will be at the Jackson street entrance,
and converging on the two points cars
will come from every quarter OF the city.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Another outrage has been perpetrated in
China by the mob, so called, and this time IL
is said to have been against the property and
lives of Americans in the mission near Foo
Chow. This, taken in connection with the re-
fusal of the Chinese authorities to permit the
commission OF inquiry to be present at the
trials OF alleged rngleaders of the earlier out
rage, makes it pretty clear that China has no
heart In Furnishing offenders sagainst the
rights of foreigners. 1t is now related that
professions pass through the streets of Foo
Chow The people in which shout. 'Down with
the foreigners; drive out the foreign devilsr'
1t is pretty certain that China will have to be
dealt with in way that viii involve lead
and shell rather than diplomatic letters and
apologies. These missionaries who have
been driven out of their homes and beaten
and their wives and children killed are our
own people. No matter how vain their labors
in ChristianiZing the Chinese, they must be
protected in their rights. They are in China
| under treaty stipulation that has been now
| SO grossly violated that there is nothing for it
but Government interference in the matter.
1t is now asserted that the Government Of
| the United States is resolved upon securing
the release of ex-Consul Waller of Tamatave,
who langulshes in q French prison, and to
secure tor him also indemnity for the confis
cation of his rubber concessions. Well, it
| certainly is full time that this outrage upon
| an American citizen was atoned for Had
| Waller been our representative TO Madagascar
at the time OF his arrest and trial, his wrongs
would not have been greater.

press seems TO be when there is no one else at
whose door wrong and crime can be laid, to

deadly work of hydraulic mining is estab-
lished. For be it known these farmers are
backed by the fact of deprecated values,
lands submerged by mining sands, and homes
destroyed by the down-coming of hydraulic
mining debris.

stance has had the courage to arraign the
Government for its injustice to Cuba and
to demand that the war cease. OF course
the Government suppressed that edition
Of EI QuYote. Free discussion of gov

The article in EI QuY0te which hss 30
alarmed the royal party as to lead to the
seizure of the issue of the journal is said
to have been written by Margall, one of
the foremost Of Spanish republicans and
politicians. He asserts the absolute right
| of the Cubans TO independence, and he
calls the attention of his countrymen to
the fact that Spain herself battled for q
like right through two centuries OF time.
He declares that Spanish history of con-
tention for human right does not warrant
| Spain in to-day CHASING the Cuban rebels
their heads. These men in Spain would
| be heroes. he asserts. and he is right. He
appeals to the justice Of the Spanish to
| heed the appeal of the Cubans, but he ap-
peals in vain. There are two character
| istics of Spanish administration under q
monarchy that destroy all hope of justice
being granted" to the Cubans-these
are arrogance and absolute incapacity to
deal fairly with the people of the Carib-
bean island. They are incapable because
they do not and will not understand
the Cubans. They are arrogant because
they base their claim of domination upon
a record of conquest that is one of cruelty
and misgovernment 1t is enough for the
| Spaniard to know that Spain has Cuba
under her thumb, and that the Cubans
are in his estimation a race born to be
submissive to Spain, albeit the Cubans
come from the Spanish themselves. This
arrogance Senior Margall calls ''force OF
| habit" unwillingness ito give up pol
icy so long adhered to-" and for no other
reason than that tits ancient. Senor Mar
gall has the courage to tell his people tina,
| the revolution in Cuba is wholly charge
able to them; that the Cubans are really
blameless. But his appeal for generosity
that follows will be no more needed than
his bravery in telling the Spanish that
| the fault is theirs. The courageous poll
tican cites to his people Cuban history
and shows that in every struggle with
| Spain, the latter has been compelled to
secure peace by concessions. Twenty
seven years in all has Spain warred with
her dependency, and has with each declar-
| by granting reforms and liberties. She
has now reached phase of the conten-
ton where there is but one thing more to
! concede, and that is Cuban independence.
| Margall sees this clearly, and his protest
against injustice is uttered in the hope OF
saving his country the humiliation Of de-
feat. But we fear that his words will
have little or no effect. The Spanish
