cry other measure relating to revenue or
currency may expect the same fate
brought about in the same manner Yet
there are still persons sanguine enough
TO hope or expect that when the Natl onal
Republican convention meets some FORT
OF compromise plank on silver may be
liked up which will satisfy the gold men,
and the silver men and the men who oc-
oupy a sort of intermediate position be-
tween the two extremes. Some of these
sanguie men live out in Ohio and at the
convention the other say the J tried their
hama at resolutions Of reconciliation
Judging from the text of the delivsrance
their idea was to make a resolution SO
ambiguous and vague, o general in its
terms, that it might be interpreted in
one way by the silver man and in an ex-
actly opposite way by the gold men. In
that they apparently succeeded. But the
silvermen have long since passed the
point where they can be satisfied by res
olutions which may be SO interprete d.
They want, and seem bound to have,
something so clear that it must be in
terpreted their way-someth1pg that ad-
mits of no other Interpretation. The Ohio
resolution would not satisfy them If 1t
were put into the national platform, I'M
less they should get some assurance that
the candidate nominated upon it would
inter pref it as they might want it in
terpreted. We believe the time has gone
by when either party can successfully
execute a straddls on the currency ques-
ton. The relations between the free
coinage men and those who are opposed
to that policy are too strained to permit
OF any compromise. Nothing less than
a square declaration in favor of fr, Q
coinage will satisfy the former, and moth
ing short of declaration against it, and
anything that squints at it, will satisfy
the latter. We believe both parties ha We
got to meet the issue and put themselves
on record definitely in regard to it.
The Portland daily press., 1896-03-14

joined the issue by proclaiming that Re-
publican protection was contrary to the
constitution and won the election and
enacted the Wilson bill, which has
brought prostration to many industries,
and Is now flooding the country with
European products, prolonging hard
times and causing widespread power ty
and distress. 1t is not yet known what
the Democratic platform this year will
be; whether it will again assert that
protection is unconstitutional, or will
shirk the issue and admit the idea of q
tariff with incidental protection. What
ever the Democratic convention may do,
the people have made up their minds to
elect a epublican President and Congress
for the sake of the protective duties
which the Republican party will surely
give to the country. When that President
and Congress come into power, wise tariff
revision, judicious tariff laws, just pro-
tection to all American interests in all
sections of our comm on country, will be
demanded by the universal voice of the
American people. Who can guide the
movement carefully. sagaciously, and vet
with irresistable power in broad and
safe channels as unerringly as Thomas b.
Reed In the White Housep
The country is now involved in the
most troublesome controversies concern
ing money which have ever existed and
settlement of them cannot be much
longer postponed. Shall the qreepbacks
be continued in circulation, or shall they
be retired and the government cease to
furnish demand notes as money for
people? Ii the Rreenbaoks are retired,
thereby depriving the banks of the privil
eye Of using them as their reserve and
compelling them to make the reserve
wholly of the precious metals, what
measures shall he adopted to preserve
the national banking system from COL
lapsingS Above all is the question, what
shall be the money of final redemption
Shall the standard be the single gold
standard of the English bankers, Grover
Cleveland, and John G. Carlisle? Shall
it be the single silver standard of Will
liam nj. Stewart and Isham G. Harris?
Or shall the the double standard, the
standard of bimetallism SO admirably
described by Senator Hoar in his speech
in the senate on Feb. e6 lastY The Re
publican party proposes to meet these
questions and to settle them in accord
anoe with the honor and the pledges of
the nation, consistently with sound prin-
oiples of finance, and il possible, so as
to promote the prosperity OF every section
of the country. There are wide differ
ences of opinion among Republicans as
to the treatment of silver. The next
president can sxert great influence,
conforming to the declarations of the ma
tional convention, in the settlement of
these differences. Can any president be
chosen more likely prudenlty, honestly,
faithfully, and periodically to use his
great powers in such settlement than
will Thomas B. Reed In the White

It seems the PRESS was wrong in its
statement that the announcement the
Express published Of the candidacy of DR..
g. G. Kilgore was verbatim ct literatlm
the announcement published in the PRESS.
It appears that the last part was changed
in the former so az to put the claim of
exceptional strength for DR.. Kilgore
directly into the mouths of his friends.
Substantially, however, the two an
nouncements were alike. That of the
PRESS was in the shape of despatch
from Belfast to the United Press, and
everybody of common sense knew that
1t was stating the claim OF Mr.. Kilgore's
friends. The Express, however, in pur-
suance Of some occult purpose too obscure
for us to fathom, insinuated that the
PRESS had expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Kilgore would draw votes from the
Repu blicans, when it we'll knew that the
PRESS had done no such thing.
The Express may set up the plea of
mistake for It's Misrepresentation; while
charity will offer IL the excuse of i'll
breeding inasmuch rs it has not with
drawn it.

SILVER AND THE REPUBLICANS.

If anything has been made certain by
the action of the far Western Senators
since the present session began it is that
compromise on the silver question is no
longer possible. At the beginning of the
session they issued an ultimatum, or
what amounted to that, to the effect that
unless they were given free silver at the
ratio of 16 to one, nobody else should be
allowed TO have anything. Ever since
then they have been living up to this
programme. The bond bill was weighted
down by them with free silver attach
ment and defeated. The revenue bill was
killed in precisely the same way, and ev-

The Albany Journal furnishes some OF
the particulars of the great Mckinley
uprising which the telegraph has an
nounced as taking place in New York.
Ii was got up by the Buffalo Express, to
boom the newspaper on. The Express
hired the hall and..apparently it's employees
drummed up most Of the audience. The
Journal has no doubt that in spite of
this demonstration the great majority OF
the voters.o of western New York and ali
the rest of New York, for that matter,
are for Gov. Morton.

WHY REED is WANTED.
(Senator William E. Chandler.


Personal liberty and political equality
for all citizens without distinction of
color and free and honest sutfrage-all
as reinforced by the amendments of the
Constitution made since the suppression
of the rebellion of 1S61-are to be promot-
ed and made secure. This is the most
vital principle of the Republican politi-
cal faith. Fortunately, it will not be
difficult to perform our duty in this par
ticular. 1t is no longer a negro gu esiton
merely. The white voters of the South
ern states are breaking away from the
Democl alto party, and majority Of the
white voters in North Carolina and Ala
bama have already arrayed themselves
against the fraudulent Democracy. The
Republicans of the South, white and
black, are promptly cooperating with
the Independent Democrats in 1udicious
movements for the overthrow Of the oil
garchies which have hitherto held tyran-
meal and brutal sway. Wherever these
movements are successful society ia i'm
proved, personal freedom for the masses
of the people is enlarged pure elections
are secured and good government accord
ing to tho principles of the state and ma
tional constitutions, is maintained. To
encourage and continue the political rem
ovation of the South (under the banner
of protection to American industries and
American labor) with full, free. and
honest elections, a strong, earnest, faith
full, and courageous President ia needed
in the White House. Who will serve
this cause SO well as Thomas b. Heed3
The principal, peculiar, and living is
sua of the Republican party is that al the
protection by tariff duties of all Ameri-
can products. In 1899 we boldly declared
this principle. The Cleveland Democracy

]. Arnott Possesses the Secret, and Is
Looking for an Inquirer
With Cash.

Three million five hundred thousand
dollars in glittering gold, silver and valu-
ables lie patiently waiting to be discovered
in a convenient nook of Mexico, and ].
Arnott of 1907 Church street knows how
this sc ductive little sum can be secured
In the fullness of his heart Arnott is ready
and willing to dispose of an eighth interest
in this convenient secret for $4,000, which
tie most rudimentary knowledge of
mathematics will show is great bargain.
Arnott, or rather Arnott's wife, with his
authority, caused this glittering offer to
be published in the agate columns of
a morning paper, and yesterday they took
a day off to answer inquiries.
The treasure to which Arnott claims the
open sesame is said to have been disclosed
by the confessions of Father Vedga of
Madrid. Just why Father Vedga should
have confessed or how he camo possessed
of the knowledge of the Whereabouts of
SO. 100000 in ''gold, silver and valuables';
Arnott refuses to say. He declares, how
ever. that the treasure is not cash. Pre-
sumably it consists of church ornaments.
in which the early churches of Mexico are
said TO be very rich.
Arnott does not talk readily in regard
to his valuable secret. He is possessed
of ideas as to the character of inter
esting news, which he readily Impaired
to the reporter, but on the subject of Mex
lean treasure he was dumb. His wife.
however, stated that they were acting only
on behalf of parties in Mexico. Arnott,
however, says he is going down to look for
treasure. At present, however, he is look
ing for ''parties having the required $1,000
and meaning business"
Arnott says this scheme is no ufake -
and he says he knows

They Easily Defeat the CALIFORNIA; at
Golden Gate.
The one Hunter Harrison cup cricket
match played yesterday was between the
Pacific and California clubs at Golden
Gate. 1t was a very one-sided affair, re-
sulting in win for the Pacifics by 1s9
runs on the first innings, the call of time
only preventing an innings defeat.
The Pacifics lost the toss and were put
in. Richardson, who went to bat at the
tall of the first wicket soon put up a CEN
fury and retired. He left at the wicket
Myers, who carried his bat for another
three-fgure innings. When three wickets
had fallen, the telegraph registering BAG
runs, Captain George Theobald mercifully
called the innings.
The CALIFORNIA; could do nothing against
the bowling of Cassidy and Dickinson.
Gellatlv, Shredder and Brooks were the
only men that made any stand at ALL and
the whole side was dismissed for paltry
fifty-seven. Following on, to play out
time. the vanquished side about equaled
their first attempt, though at the expense
OF but six wickets. The game does not
affect the standing of either club. Fol-
lowing are the full scores:
