first one was just what u N.s intend

windward, which might be a andy
thing to lave in Ease Mr.. Cleveland
should be driven to abandon the single
gold standard. Meanwhile be- winks
at Morton as he keeps up hIs gold
standard arguments.
The report that Secretary Carlisle
had positively stated that in the event
of the next democratic convention de-
claring in favor of the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 10 10 !, he would
support the republican candidates, and
intimated that Mr. Clevela,d would do
the same. has caused much talk among
politicians. There is little doubt that
Carlisle made the statement, but it
was probably only intended for a bluff
in the game which the administration
is playing against the silver wing of
the democratic party.
There Is again considerable talk OF
an extra session of congress TO provide
money for the government. The
treasury deficit continues to grow at an
alarming rate and none of the predic-
tions of Secretary Carlisle of increas-
ed revenues have turned out to be true.
and there is nothing in sight to midi
cate any improvement in receipts. In
addition to the failure of Secretary
Carlisle's estimates to materiali.e
comes the loss of evenue expected
from the income tax. The exemptions
made by the first decision of the su-
preme court cut the amount of esti-
mated receipts from that source in
half, and it is regarded as extremely
probable that the decision of the full
wipe them entirely out, by declaring
the law unconstitutional. In that case
MIR. Cleveland will find it difficult TO
avoid an extra session, no matter how
much he may fear one.

Fault of Dealers.

A number Of territorial newspapers
have taken exception to the plan pur-
sued by many people of sending east
for clothing, groceries. etc, to the IN
jury of the home merchants. This de-
plorable method of doing business has
not only been in vogue for a lengthy
period, but. as the kickeTs say, it is
growing rapidly. And why should 1t
not? The fault is not wholly with that
of the consumer. 1t is siDply a cot
throat game in many instances, and the
merchant Is receiving a good round
dose of his own medicine. When he
requires something that could be pur-
chased at home Eve will say job print
ing as an i~llustratiOn), he is only too
eager and anxious to place his order
with some "rat" concern in the east
institutions that employ child labor
and have the advantage of buying job
lots of paper for almost a trife. Pos
sibly after paying express, postage, ETC.,
he may save a few cents, and again he
may not. This absolutely suicidal and
unbusiness-like practice is not confined
to an occasional merchant, secrect So
cieties and labor unions follow the
same course very often. We believe
that the w%age-earner should spend his
money where he earns it, but not until
business men practice what they
preach. A ~ten-year-old child is capa-
BILE of grasping the ultimate ruinous
results that are sure to be the outcome
of this crazy departure from business
principles, but the same child will
argue that it is right because the busi-
ness man keeps it up. The game is
practiced here more or less, and until
business men take a tumble to them
selves, wecan see no reason for asking
the wage-earner to change his base of
operation.-San Mareial Bee.

Our Washington Letter.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
There has been for some time a con
certed attempt on the part of Washing
ton correspondents of the most proml-
nent democratic papers to make it APP
pear that whenever three or four prom
inent republicans happen to he in
Washington at n time they were en-
gagged in conspiring for or against some
one of the presidential candidates, and
1t is the result of orders from their
home offices. First, they had a con-
spiracy being formed against Mr.. Reed
in favor of Senator Allison: then Gov.
Morton was the favored Individual,
and their latest attempt in that line
was in favor of Gov. Mckinley. Need
less to say there was absolutely no
foundation for any of these misrepre-
sensations. Even granting that there
are prominent republicans who are
|. willing to enter a conspiracy either to
secure the defeat or the nomination of
the gentlemen named, the exercise of a
little common sense would make it APP
parent to even an ordinarily intelligent
man that they would not do SO
than a year before the holding of the
nominating convention; also, that
Washington, where they are all well
known to the newspaper men, would
be about the last place they would
meet to arrange such a conspiracy.
There is a double purpose in the false
publications. First. the hope that they
may help take public attention from
the hopeless condition of the demo-
cratic party. and second, the hope that
they may result in stirring up i'll will
between the supporters of the several
candidates for the republican nomina-
ton. But there is no probability of
either hope being realized. The re-
publican party recognizes the "cinch"
it has and will not throw it away be-
cause of democratic misrepresenta-
ton.
Attorney General Olney paid Sena-
tor Sherman a very neat compliment
when after quoting some remarks by
him, he said in his argument before
the supreme court for a rehearing of
the income tax cases: "When | quote
Senator Sherman, | cite one who is pos
sibly as much of a statesman as any
counsel who has addressed the court In
this case and who, even when found
defending the principle of an income
tax, or an communist, or a Jacobln, or
an anarchist" Mr.. Olney's argument
Is considered by lawyers a very poor
enc; it was mercilessly ridiculed by
Mr.. Joseph II. Choate, the great New
York lawyer. who spoke against the
constitutionality of the income tax,
and even the sedate justices could not
restrain the smiles brought out by Mr..
Choate's biting sarcasm at Mr.. Olney's
expense.
