Bayard at Edinburgh.

It has been entertaining to read the
comment OF the American press on Mr..
Bayard's recent Edinburgh address He
policy was building I'D class and caste
In the United States and that its in
fiuence Is altogether baneful. This
gave the opposition an opportunity TO
pitch into the ambassador pell-mell.
The organs of protection want Presi-
dent Cleveland to call Mr.. Bayard
down and be quick about It, Some of
them ask that he be recalled instantly.
others propose that ahe be severely CEN
sured by the president.
The criticism appears to proceed on
the theory that Mr.. Bayard. however
free he might be with his structures
when addressing his fellow citizens,
had no right to air his notions before
a people to whom he is accredited in
diplomatic service. The critics make
cut that Bayard is giving US away"
so to speak. One newspapers curious
remark is that a foreign minister is
the agent of his government much as
a commercial traveller Is the agent of
the house he represents" and that the
commercial traveller might as well go
from place to place announcing that
his employer is a fraud as that an am
bassador at the court of st. James
should hawk about England his crtti-
cisms of the United States.
In our opinion there is a great deal
of truth in what Mr.. Bayard says; UNI
doubtedly. unduly high protection of
the Mckinley type Is nothing more nor
less than a scheme whereby favored
class ds able to use this government
for the purpose of making the MEM
bers Of that class unduly rich. What's
the harm in saying so? And, putting
false pride out of the account. why not
let the truth be told at home or
abroad? And what difference does it
make whether the man who tells it is
in the diplomatic service or in the
ranks of private citizenship?
We do not think that Mr.. Bayard IS
a shining success in the diplomatic
line. He is a man of splendid ability;
much was expected of him when. in
1884, democracy was restored ITO power
! in the Undted States. 1t can be said
that, in public life. he has not made a
reality of what had been expected of
him-at best he is a sort of cuckoo
high priest, But we do not see where
in Mr.. Bayard offended in his Edin-
burgh speech.

Absolutely fine gold Is designated as
Il QUO dne," and a bar of bullion con-
tanning nine-tenths gold and one-tenth
other metals would be described as 800
fine" No bullion will be received in this
office that is less than 500 fine. tsg
The bullion is received just as IL Is
turned out from the crude molds at the
mines, frequently rough and jagged and
black with the presence of baser metals
IL Is weighed and at once forwarded to
the smelling room, where 1t is reduced
to a liquid under a heat ranging from
1900 to $500 degrees Fahrenheit. and is
then poured into steel molds, which have
first been coated with grease, to assist
in rendering the bars of gold perfectly
smooth.
The bars of gold are then re-weighed,
on scales so perfectly adjusted that they
will weigh with accuracy a hair or a
10000 ounce brick. The bars are then
numbered, the figures being stamped on
the end with steel dies and they are
then ready for clipping" This is done
by a powerful machine having a W
shaped chisel, which cuts a semi-circular
piece out of each bar. These pieces are
assayed separately by different men, and
by the most modern and perfect process

ment that IL the different assayers DO
not check within .0002 their assays are

ternoon. The busiest season of the year
is from about the first of May to Novem-

the operation of placer claims during

He'll Take 1t.

That New York state senatorship;
Warner Miller says he does not crave
1t, but he admits that IL the people Of
New York We're to come and lay 1t at
his feet he wouldn't spurn 1t. That is
to say, Mr.. Miller will undoubtedly be a
csndalate.
Back in 1881, when Senator Conklms
resigned, the Now York legislature got
into a remarkably long fight. The diff
Guilty encountered by the opposition to
Conl<ling and Platt was Its inability to
select candidates on whom the opposi-
tion could unite. Finally Lapham and
Miller were chosen. Lapham made an
inglorious record, passed out of view
and died few years ago. Miller had
cne term. He tried to run New York
politics but made a failure OF IL. He
did fairly well in the senate. but one
term was all New York was willing to
give him; yet Miller is as good as any
man who, since his time, has repre-
scented New York in the federal senate.
Mr.. Miller loves to be in office. IT
seems as good as foregone that the
next New York senator will be a re-
publican, and there is no doubt that
Mr.. Miller will make a strong play for
the place

What Mr.. SOVEREIGN Said.

At Thursdays meeting of the
knights OF Labor. Master Workman
Sovereign had much to say in criti-
cism of the conduct OF members of the
order who. he says. are guilty OF "dev-
fish treachery" toward its general off,
GERS.
Many of the knights will probably
conclude that Sovereign's complaint is
not warranted. 1t is a question wheth-
er the order made a good trade when
II took Sovereign for Powderly; during
his long term Of service. Powderly was
made. by those who pushed Sovereign
TO the front. the object OF just such
criticism as the present master work
man now complains OF. In spite OF
Wednesdays protest. the criticism viii
undoubtedly be kept up. Part OF 1t
comes from members OF the order who
are altogether sincere in what they
say: some OF It Is inspired by the jeal-
ousy or the ambition OF men whose
scheme is TO get the highest honors Of
the order for themselves.
In MS address Mr.. Sovereign re-
viewed his celebrated boycott OF bank
notes. The public had forgotten tt

bling In the city. of Butte will have to
take to the loft.
The members of the Butte council
at a meeting held last night. voted to
reconsider their action of Wednesday
night. when a ground-foor gambling
license was granted-that nights vote
being a reversal of the conclusion the
aldermen had reached at a former
meeting.
One of the aldermen tried to ring in
a little parliamentary law on last
mayor held that the processes by
which the request for a permit was
laid on the table were all right.
The Standards report of last nights
council meeting says that some of the
aldermen have been hearing from
their constituents. That is probable;
but 1t was always easy to sound public
opinion in Butte on the ground-fioor
gambling proposition
1t is all well enough to say that the
way to kill off gambling is to give it
the utmost publicity-after about
thirty years of experience OF that kind
in Butte. gambling didn't show any
signs of invalidism.
Gambling was banished In Butte, or
1t was placed under restraint. as the
result OF legislative action. The law
proved to be a fizzle. but that fact
didn't change public opinion-there il
no doubt that the very large majority
of the citizens OF Butte were glad to
see legitimate business houses take
which had formerly been occupied by
ground-foor gambling establishments.
Now will Burte's remarkable city
council leave well-enough alone?
What a city council!

Comptroller Eckels, too, Is happy. He
finds cause for rejoicing over the fact
that in the special election in the Elgh-
teenth Illinois congressional district. a
republican won. Mr.. Eckels does not
disguise his satisfaction over the result.
The vacancy in this district was caused
by death. A democrat tried for the
office. He was defeated. He was a
free-coInage democrat, and that is why
the comptroller in the democratic ad-
minlstration laughs. Next year these
people who have been doing all in their
power TO help the republicans and who
have aided IN democratic defeats will
be lecturing the party about the duty

Debs on Strikes.

Debs' latest interview sounds more
like IL. He does not share the anar-
chsstic notion Of HIS associate who.
just before ne tried TO get up the Great
Northern strike. took occasion to say
that 1t Is nearly time to give up the
ballot and resort to arms. Debs says
that laboring men must make their
strike at the ballot box.
Whatever merit there may be m this
suggestion, II Is at least in harmony
with the theory of American citizen
ship. Labor has never scored endur-
ing successes in the political field or by
resort to political methods. That is
not proof. however. that labor may
not hereafter win enduring victories at
the polls-that depends.
Mr. Debs himself Is evidently dis
couraged as TO improving the condi-
ton of labor through the process OF
strikes. He Is quoted as saying that
1.-The time for strikes Is past" 1t may
be true that the time for strikes on the
Debs plan is past; he discovered where
his weakness was. He was at the
head of a big organization. He ordered
a strike and within that organization
ne was obeyed. But he thought that,
simply by the fat of his own call, he
could involve other great labor organi-
Nations in the strike. He was met with
far refusal. and that settled the strike

bad faith with the people" All this
must be largely in Mr.. Sovereign's
mind; as far as the public has ever
learned. not the slightest heed was
ever paid even by the Knights of La
Dor to the master workman's mani
festo. Outside of the order It never
received serious discussion; for our
part. we have never been able to figure
out what the aim OF this curious boy
colt might be. 1t Is a dead-letter up
to date.

Your Lord Dunraven has got 1t all

1t. His insinuation is that the De-
fender was sailed deeper than her

to persuade the public either in this
