Who ever heard of such foolishness?
There might be few stray threads Of
gold, but none worth working those
rugged hills for. The miners were crest
fallen. They believed these eminent
mineralogists. Lots of them sold out
their claims for little or nothing and
went away. A few held on and kept on
digging into the granite hills.
Finally it became noised about that,
in spite Of the scientists, these stubborn
miners were actually digging ore that
was fairly rotten with gold. The men

AFTER cutting off pensions, reducing
expenses everywhere possible, withhold
ing from the sugar planters the money
voted to them by congress and carrying
over unpaid obligations whenever pos
sible, it must have been serious disap-
pointment to Mr.. Carlisle that he was
unable to make both ends meet at the
time of submitting his annual report.
The secretary for some inexplicable
reason can not or will not see where the
trouble is and apply its proper remedy.
The revenue will not be sufficient to
meet the governments requirements as.
long as the exports of gold continue
Gold exports produce a contraction of
the currency which in turn results in
falling prices. Falling prices are fol-
lowed by demoralized market in which
the people who pay revenue duties do
not care to sell. These are the causes
which operate to produce an insufficient
revenue; the remedy lies in stopping the
outflow of gold by depriving the export
ers of the means of obtaining it unless
they are willing to go into the open
market and buy it. To do this it is but
necessary TO 0N0EClSe LH0 pElFAeSo al
lowed by law, of redeeming the treasury
notes and greenbacks in silver. The re-
newed use of silver would at once cause
rise in prices, resulting in an increase
in importations and revival of business
generally SO that even the Wilson law
would probably be adequate to supply
ing a sufficient revenue, coupled with the
receipts from internal taxation. The
secretary may as well do this first as last
because if he is relying upon this con-
gress to stop gold exports by retiring the
| greenbacks he is doubtless doomed to
disappointment. Moreover the revenue
receipts would not be improved if con-
gress did this thing but would be still
further reduced in consequence of ad-
ditional decline in prices consequent up
on this further contraction of the cur
rency.

THE tone of some of the country ex-
changes seems to indicate that the i'm
preston has got abroad that the poll
ticians of Kansas are opposed to the
election of John J. ingalls, to the United
States senate. The people gave evidence
last winter that they wished Mr.. Ingalls,
to represent them and if they have not
changed their minds it would be we'll for
the politicians to pay attention TO them.
The bosses should remember 1890. They
were for Mr.. Ingalls, then and the people
were not and the people won, though at
the sacrifice of Republican control of the
legislature. There is one thing pretty
certain and that is that the people of
Kansas are in no humor to follow the
lead of Nebraska and elect representa-
tive of the Pacific railroad interests
while the settlement of those railroads,
debts to the government is pending.

THIRD EDITION.
AT GORMAN'S NOD
The Democratic Candidate for Governor of Maryland Will Be Named, and He
 Alone Knows.

Baltimore, July 30.-Senator German is keeping everybody in suspense. A great crowd of politicians and their friends thronged the corridors and committee rooms of the Carrollton hotel through out the day and night discussing the situation and waiting for MT. German to indicate his favorite for governor but up to late hour the word had not been passed down the line.
 Within twelve hours the democratic state convention will have been called to order, and no one but German seems to know whether the nominee will be Hayes or Jones or Smith or Hurst or Fisher or some one else. It is estimated at least seventy-five of the IF delegates will do Senator Germans bidding, and many of them openly assert that they are only waiting for instructions. Whoever the German candidate may be. they will vote for him when the time comes. The man who holds the destinies of the con- vention in hi, hands spent the day at the hotel. but maintained his placid silence and no one could get word out of him to indicate what he intends to do tomor- row. The local leaders, who usually claim the right to be let on the inside gave up the solution of the problem in despair
 
 up the situation thus: Senator German will naturally want to put off the inevita- ble as long oS possible. The convention may therefore organize and hold one and probably two sessions, allowing consld- erable change of opinion among the dele gates before German lets it be known definitely who is his choice for the first place on the ticket.
 His reasons for this will be the hope that some sort of compromise. for which he is always anxious, may be reached b. tween Hayes, the champion of the dras- tic reassessment law, and the present leader in the contest, and Jones, who is known as a German. follower. Either of these candidates might be beaten on election day. Jones would be knifed hy all Cleveland men and Hayes cut by .he wealthy Baltimoreans, who are bitterly opposed to an inquistorial law for the taxation of interchangeable property.
 Hayes could be nominated on the first ballot if German would keep his hands off, but Hayes Is too independent and un- certain for both German and Rasin. State Treasurer Jones, for, as I have said, he would be bitterly opposed by all anti-Gormanites. Who will receive the nomination no one but MT German can tell but he will try to give the delibera- tions of the convention a wll-of- the people appearance and therefore the nomination may not be made until late tomorrow night"
 The convention will meet tomorrow noon at Harris Academy of Music.

Dr. H. M. Caldwell Stricken With Paralysis
 and In Critical Condition.

On Monday. night Dr. H. M. Caldwell, who for a long time has been very un- well, was stricken with paralysis, his entire right side being affected. Physi- clans were hastily summoned and all that was known to medical skill was resorted to in hope of bringing him to a state of ease, but to no avail. He, at the time of the stroke, besides losing the use of his limbs, lost his speech, and as yet has been unable to utter an intelli- gible syllable.
 The news of his latest affiiction was received with consternation and much re- gret was expressed on all sides.
 At l o'clock this morning his attending physician announced that while no appa- rent change for the better was visible he was no worse.
 His sorrowing friends are at his bed- side, and friends are also there to render whatever assistance is possible.
