ny the Republican party since il
advent into power.
| Now, IN order to get the com
try again on the road to prosperity
1t seems to me that the Democrat
&c party must OF necessity return
to It's old landmarks, and the frs
steps in that direction must i,
financial reform. The silver dol
lar and the gold dollar must be
placed on an equal footing as the
standard money OF the country.
II the national banks cannot now
be destroyed on account of their
charters being in the nature OF =
contract, then their power to is
sue money must be destroyed, and
all the money Of the country must
be directly issued by the govern
mcnt.
The gambling in futures as now
practlced in all the commercial
centefS OF the country, by which
the a8ricultnrists are deprived Of
large portion Of their legitimate
profits must be stopped, and all
II amer of combines and trusts or
Sanlzed to rob the farmer and wage
Garner OF their legitimate earnings
must be punished by heavy penal
ties.
The Democratic party was grad
ually working its way back to its
pure principles, and thereby gain
ing the confidence of the nation,
when In 1892 it called Grover
Cleveland to the Presidency, and
thereby made the greatest mistake
IN ITS history. Mr.. Cleveland has
deliberately ignored the platform
upon which he was nominated and
elected. He has accomplished
nothing but the utter defeat of the
party that elected him. The fact
is his conduct as President proves
that ne has very little, if any, dem
ocracy about him. He complete
|y tied the hands of the Democrat
C party when he insisted on the
repeal of the Sher-
nan silver purchasing act, and
hen cut its throat by, vetoing the
'eignorage bill. Since he has been

S contrary to the principles of
democracy, and therefore. | CON
lude that Mr.. Cleveland is not a
Democrat.
But he has succeeded wonder
nlly IN turning the country over
. the Republicans, as witness the
ertect landslide in the State cleo

nancial policy has set back the I
Democratic party for at least ten

THE TURK TRIUMPHANT.
A British Breakdown That Has an
Ugly Look For Europe,

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 80. -
copyrighted 1895 by the Associat-
ed Press After all the warlike
talk of yesterday the British am
bassador, Sir Phillip Currie, has
backed down and the sultan and
his palace advisers are triumphant.
The British gunboat Dryad, or
dered from Salonica by Admiral
Seymour, commander of the
British Mediterranean squadron,
at the request of Sir Phillip Currie,
hasibeen ordered back to Salonica.
This is to the diplomatic corps
quite an unexpected denoue-
ment of situation which
had assumed a most dan
gerous aspect and the general
opinion is that the powers have
been placed in a somewhat ridicu-
lous position. Following the re-
peated threats of forcing the pas
sage of the Dardenelles If the] sui
tan persisted in refusing to allow
extra gunboats to enter the Bos-
porus, this looks very much as if
Abdul Hamid and his advisers
were well informed when they per-
sisted in holding out against the
demands Of the representatives of
Great Britain, Russia, Italy and
Austria for additional guardships,
believing they were justified in so
doing on the grounds that the pow
ers are not in accord, as so fire.
quently claimed and officially
stated, and that the dissenting
powers were behind Abdul Hamid
in the stand he has taken;
but, it is claimed in diplomatic
circles, this does not end the Incl
dent, and it is only temporary
withdrawal which will be followed
at a more opportune moment by
the insistence of the powers upon
the observance of their treaty
rights which, they contend, allow
them to have extra guardships for
their embassies. Even If this be
true, 1t seems to show that the
sultan and his advisers have once
more triumphed over the repre-
sentatives of the powers.

of the terms specified are as fol-
lows: The competitors hereby

.Rumors have been current for some

in South Africa gold stocks are pre-.

of the Cripple Creek mine, and buy
up number Of claims, stock them
with large amounts and after trad

themselves, sending prices sky

and a demand, then letting go t
the top of the wave, leaving the
purchasers with stock worth abso-

been heard in Cripple Creek and
the people are anxious to learn
who is at the head of the syndicate
proposing to carry out this gigan-
tic swindle, for such it is called. 1t
is known none of the companies
now operating are concerned in the
deal. A vast number OF companies
have been incorporated in the last
sixty days; so many it has been al

them, and claims have been sold

local parties, sometimes to foreign

CRIPPLE CREEK PROPERTIES.
Mining Exchange Organization
Mooted in New York.


NEW YORK, Nov. BOD. V.
Donaldson, the secretary of the
Colorado Springs MiningExchange,
is in New York and has his head
quarters at Kenneth, Hosklns &
Co.'s office. Mr.. Donaldson said in
an interview: "The boom in Grip
pie Greek properties is floating some
securities of doubtful value. We
want to put people on their guard
against mining swindlers, and at
the same time point out properties
which have value or legitimate
good profits. Perhaps the best evil
dence for the probable stability OF
the camp is afforded by the fact
that another railroad from Colo
RADIO Springs to Cripple Creek is
projected and stands a chance Of
being built. All experience has
gone to show Improvement in the
mines as depth was obtained, and
also that the ore territory is much
larger than first estimates indi-
Gated. The output Of the district
for November will be in the neigh
borhood of 81 100000"
At recent mass meeting held in
a vacant room in the Edison build
ing, Mr.. II. B. Philbrook, lawyer
in the MilPs building was asked to
occupy the chair. Mr.. Philbrook
said in an interview: SIT is true
that a movement is being made by
several gentlemen to establish
mining exchange in this city. If
such an exchange is established it
will be on solid basis and only
mining stocks of the very highest
class will be listed"
