The vessel struck at 2 O'Clock in the

the boats, but only one boatload reached
the shore. The missing passengers include
three ladies.

nnhol. For Vice President

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, one
of the strongest Republican papers
west of the Mississippi river, has this
to say of Idaho's young senator:
Eastern men are talking of Sena-
tor Dubois for the vice presidential
nomination. The Idaho Senator is a
very strong free silver man, but he is
immensely popular. A New England
Senator is quoted as saying: awhile
| differ radically with Dubois on the
money question, | believe he is to-day
he strongest man we could put up
for vice president. "
The argument with eastern Repub-
licans is that some concessions must
be made to the western silver states,
and that it had best be in the form OF
the vice presidential nomination.

GROVER CLEVELAND never wrote
truer words than these, from his let

that any one in our broad land rich or

and whether dwelling in center of
finance and commerce, or in remote
corner of our domain, can be really
benefited by a financial scheme not
alike beneficial to all our people. -

Ready to Coerce Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Reports
from Nicaragua confirm the statement
of blockade of Nicaragua ports by
Great Britain as a means of execution
of her demands. 1t ls understood
that the blockade will begin Saturday.
British troops are to be landed at Co
rinto, the custom houses are to be oc-
cupied, and British officers are to ex-
ercise the functions of collectors of
customs.
As to the landing of British marines
at Corinto, 1t is stated by officials that
this will rot menace or endanger the
interests of the United States or other
foreigners. Great care will be taken
to protect foreign interests, and if the
latter suffer indirectly they will be
compensated for their loss.
While it is not expected that Mica
ragua will offer any armed resistance
to the landing Of the British forces,
still it is feared that, during the time
the town Of Corinto is occupied by
foreigners, the natives may be re-
strained with difficulty and the close
contact into which the two discordant
elements would certainly be brought
might at any moment lead to an out
break, winding up in a general war
The situation is full Of interest TO the
government OF the United States.

UNDER the Democratic tariff, pros
perity, which was banished under Re-
publican rule, is returning; wages are
being increased in quarters where they
we're reduced under Republican tariff;
industries which began TO show symp-
toms of paralysis under the Harrison
administration when the Carnegie
riots sounded the arrival of the panic,
are reviving; all branches of commerce
and trade are enjoying the vitalizing
influence of restored confidence, and
from every nook and corner of the ma
ton come assurances Of better times.
That is what Democratic tariff is do
ing for the country and while there
may be deficit in the treasury at the
end of the present fiscal year, it is adj
mitted, even by eminent Republican
authority, that before another year
shall have passed, the revenue will be
ample to meet all the needs Of the
government and the treasury will
show a surplus instead Of deficit.
These are unwelcome facts to the Re
publican politician and office seeker,
but they are cause for rejoicing among
the people.-Butte Miner.

About Better Times,

Henry Clews in his financial report
OF the Goth inst. has this to say:
Gall that was needed to a fresh up
ward squirt was some new conspicu-
Gus stimulus TO the already existing
confidence. That has been forthcom-
ing in the form Of a sudden and re
markable rise in the price Of cotton,
petroleum, wheat, corn and beeyes-
five articles which supply fully 40 per
cent of the value Of our exports. The
real extent of improvement now 90.
ing on among our manufacturers is
not generally understood or credited.
The most "bullish" class in the coun.
try at the present are the manufactu.
rers. They are better situated than
any other class to feel aud measure
the first throbbings of new impulse
Of demand; and it Is their testimony
on almost every branch Of trade that
the outlook is most encouraging. Their
orders are on larger scale than for
the last two years and they are in.
creasIng their purchases Of raw ma.
terial in expectation that they may
have to pay higher prices for them.
The feeling is generally that, provid.
ing the steadipess Of the financial sit.
uation may be depended upon, this
country is on the verge Of very un.
usua! era Of prosperity

The Party Worker.

The party worker IN politics Is very
apt to exagerate his Importance, and
to overestimate the value of his serv.
ices. He has a theory TO the effect
that he is the propelliug power of his
party, and that it carries elections By
reason Of what be does tor it, There
fore, he argues, when it has patron
age to distribute, he should be reward.
ed for his labors, and thus encourage
ed to go on enabling it to achieve vic
torres. The trouble with this view OF
the case is that the facts do not justi-
f. it. There is nothing to show that
the activity of the party worker is the
controlling force in political contests.
1t is certainly not his influence that
makes public sentiment and conyinUes
men how they ought to vote. He has
his uses, but they are not Of that com
prehensive and decisive character
which authorizes him to claim a mo.
nopoly of the offices for his class. 1t

such individuals ever cause an cleo.
