The Bermuda encountered greater difficulties in landing her cargo this time than on her first trip to Cuba The Span iards seem to have received some warning of the place that she would land. for . cruiser was in waiting there, which gave chase to the Bermuda as soon as she hove in sight The American vessel was the faster and got out of range. She returned the next day, landed her arms and ammu- milton and turned them over to officers of the Cuban army, but had barely landed them when the Spanish cruiser again came into sight and fired one gun at the Bermuda, which soon escaped.

sea and viewed only with fear by
uneasy mariners. They have risen
in serried ranks and the gentleman
from Georgia has had much to say
Of the conduct in committee of the
gentleman from Illinois, but all
this utterance shifted shows that
the country would be monstrously
well off without one word of it.
Not SO specifically about this did /
wish to speak as concerning that
other game of
CONGRESSIONAL THIMBLERIGGING
which is called patriotism, but
which is as near an approach to
the patriotism of Washington and
of Lincoln as is the country road
travelled by Coxey's army, sloppy
and muddy comparison with the
golden streets of the New Jerusa-
lem. Why should it be necessary
for men to rise day after day in
this hall and distort their faces and
in frenzy shake the cuffs off the
ends of their shirt sleeves in proc
lamation of the fact that they are
liberty-loving freemen who would
sooner die than see tyranny come
tyrannying around in this region? ?
It is to be expected that every man
in this hall is citizen and lover
of his country, else he has no busi-
ness here, and if he feels that he
must tell and reiterate and spas
medically affirm that he worships
his country's flag, for one begin
to gather the idea that he wants to
wrap the flag about his body, not
for love of the ensign, but to warm
his political hopes in its folds or to
conceal his possibly ill-favored per-
sonality by its glorious fiber.
"Mr. Speaker, I am not alone in
this theory of the vehement patriot
ism which sees a way to consume
weeks in harangue about the veal
of foreign nations and foreign
rebels while it has not one word for
the improvement of the industrial

America. While men wander in
hundreds of thousands without
work, and while other and more

A COINAGE QUERY.
Issued ON Postal Card, by }. G. Bennett
& Co., PittsburE.

If dollar be a dollar--honest coin
without deceit-one may melt it, one
may smelt it, but its value won't re-
treat.
Melt ten dollars-silver dollars-in
unbiased melting pot, and the silver
''slug'' resulting, only sells for FIVE the
lot.''
Melt gold dollars-melt an eagle in
aforesaid melting poland the golden
"slug" resulting quickly sells-for ''ten
the lot.''
Will you tell me-kindly tell me
how these dollars equal are-if a little
glowing furnace puts on only one a scar?
There was never yet equation that
demanded legislation to establish right
to be; an equation is equation-else is
it fallacy!
And I'm thinking-quietly thinking
that poor man has poor sense-if he
vote to have dollar that will melt to
fifty cents.

reported turning of the gold tide IS
cause for congratulation to the Amer

If the importation of gold con-
tinues for any length of time or as
sumes an aspect of permanency it
will discourage those speculative
American citizens who have been
putting their capital into gold dollars
and boarding them to get the COM
Portable premium which a free-silver
victory would put upon the yellow

these spectators upon The life and

GOLD IKP0RT4TToNs.

The Telegram finds cause for con-
graduation in the reported return
movement in gold. Whether it
means permanent cessation of re-
serve-raiding or is a mere spasmodlc
speculative effort, it indicates baf-
ding of the plans of those who would
sacrifice the nations credit for pri-
Yate gain, and it also reflects u feel
ing of confidence in the world of
finance that the free-silver madness
is already beaten. The recent heavy
Withdrawals of gold from this coun-
try were undoubtedly prompted by
4he belief that the metal would CON-
mand a handsome profit if the plans
of the silver monometalists should
succeed, and the inflow of gold re
ported yesterday may therefore
be accepted as evidence that those
who were ready to traffic in the coun-
try's mlsfortunes have abandoned
hope of a free-silver victory at the
coming election.
The results of rapid reverse
movement of gold shipments would
be of vast benefit just now. There
would be a speedy relaxation in the
media of exchange and consequent
stimulation of all channels of com
merce and industry. The process of
currency contraction which has been
IA steady progress in this country
during the last three years, and which
was created and kept alive by the in
production of free coinage as en- act
nal living issue in our politics, is the
source of a large share of all our
misfortunes. This contraction con-
sists only to small extent IN actual
money. The withdrawal of gold
from circulation Is a mere bagatelle
compared with the contraction of
credit money-checks, drafts and
other substitutes for currency-wmch
1t involves. This paper is the real
circulating medium of the country,
and is SO vast in its amount and so
flexible in its adaptation to the de
mands of trade that any interference
with it is most dangerous to the in
dustrial health, because it responds
with the utmost sensitiveness to con
fidence and doubt. The dollar ot
gold which is shipped to Europe is /:
mere nothing in comparison with tn,
thousands of dollars of credit papel
which that one dollar represents anc
can support, but which will not b,
