There is now in London a gentleman
who is one Of the youngest mayors in
the world. He is %. His name is John
Wilson, and he is mayor of Kalgoorlie, a
western Australian gold field, which is
second only in Importance to Coolgardie
If it Is second. Young, barefaced and
boyish-looking as he is, Mr.. Wilson has
bad fair round of colonial experience.
In his native colony, New Zealand, he
has been successfully telegraph opera

solicitor. He was the first lawyer to ar
rive in Kalgoorlie, and he took very
active interest in the development of the
new town, and when the government

CLEVELAND AS A PROPHET.

"rhe trusts and eombinations-the
communism of pelf-WhoSe machinatlonS
have prevented US from reaching the
success as deserved should not be forgot
ten or forgiven. We shall recover from our
establishment at their exhibition of pow
err AND IF THEN THE QUESTION IS
FORCED UPON us WHETHER THEY
SHALL SUBMIT TO THE FREE LEG
ISLATIVE WILL OF THE PEOPLES
REPRESENTATIVE S, OR SHALL DC
TATE THE LAWS Which III ~ LEO,
PIE MUST OBEY. WE WILL ACCEPT
AND SETTLE THAT ISSUE AS ONE
INVOLVING THE INTEGRITY AND
SAFETY OF AMERICAN 1NSTITU-
TIONS."
So spoke President Cleveland in his
famous Catchings letter, and he seems
slow to see the fulfillment Of his own
prophecy All good democrats readily
agree that "the trusts and combinations
the communism of pelf'-should not be
forgotten or forgiven, but number OF
men heretofore democrats and still be-
levers in President Cleveland have not
recovered from their establishment al the
exhibition of power of these same trusts
and combinations. The great majority Of
the people, however, have recovered from
their establishment at this exhibition,
anu Iney 1OW PfOPOSC " w Whht iSoi-
dent Cleveland said they would do, viz:
accept and settle the ISSUE" whether
''the trusts and combinations-the COM
munism of pelf''-shall direct this gov
eminent, or whether the people through
their chosen representatives will control
it. When a few millionaire bankers can
force the government to issue bonds and
sell them at private sale, upon the argu-
ment that it is necessary to do so to pre-
serve the nations credit, and after MAX
ing profit for themselves of several mil
lions, turn around and show that the
same parties can prevent the cause OF
another bond issue, it seems high time
that Mr.. Cleveland should realize that
the time has come "to accept and settle
that issue as one involving the integrity
and safety of American Institutions"
The trusts are all on the side of McKin-
ley; "the communism of pelf" is against
Bryan, and the people of the United
States have recovered from their aston
ishment at their exhibition Of power, and
they will see to 1t that right prevails and
the government is saved. Mr.. Cleve-
lands prophecy will be realized in No
vember and Bryan and Sewall will be
trlumphantly elected.

laid down? The states have their own
executives. charged specially and exclu-
sively with enforcing their laws. The
president of the United States who, ex-
cept when called on by and in aid of state
authority, assumes to have anything to
do with the execution of the laws of any
state is an usurper and a criminal more
dangerous, because more powerful, than
any other known to our laws. Thomas G.
Jones to the contrary Notwithstanding.
When Eek. Governor Jones was going
through north Alabama few months
ago educating those people on what con-
stitutes pure democracy the shade of
the lamentcd Houston must have appear
ed before the eyes of his home people and
enabled them to see the traitorous snake
then colled in the breast of the would he
democratic teacher. The result shows
that north Alabama, especially Madison
county, gave the real democratic candi-
date for governor good majority for
the nomination and followed it up with
the largest majority in the general elec-
ton that has been given any democrat
since the election of Houston.
When Ex-Governor Jones opened his
campaign in 1892 he was chided by the
followers of Captain Kolb for putting
party precedent and party fealty above
individual opinion. He became enraged
at the jeers that greeted the expression
and, rising on his tip-toes, exclaimed: II
had rather have your respect than your
votes" But as the ex-governor says, he
has grown more tolerant as he has grown
older, and now looks with compassion on
republican leaders and republican princi-
pies. 1t will not be unexpected should he
reverse the expression during this cam
paign and exclaim: II had rather have
your votes than your respect"
On closing his speech Monday night
Ex-Governor Jones is quoted as follows:
I'VE have been told in a newspaper that
the man who takes this step the doors OF
office will be closed against him.
If 1t was to the State Herald the ex-
governor referred we beg to suggest that
any intimation or suggestion that may
have appeared in this paper with refer
ence to boilers destroying their future
political prospects the ex-governor was
not taken into the calculation at ALL We
have long since been aware of the fact
that the ex-governor was done for In pol
itlcs. He, SO far as the prospects of polif-
zeal preferment are concerned, surrenders
as little as any man in Alabama could
possibly surrender In departing from the
party. lie has been done for a long time
He is no deader today politically than he
was the day he turned over the govern
pr's office to his successor.

"It is our firm. purpose" said Tommy
Jones to the Republican Aid So
ciety, that our state democracy
shall live in the future In 1888
Seay's magnificent democratic ma
jority for governor was 111.203. In 1890
Jones, as candidate, without serious OPP
position, reduced this to 97,470; and in
1892. under his second candidacy, only
11,437, or just about one-tenth of 1t, was
left. Had Jones been a candidate for a
third time 1t would have been less than
nothing by $4,000, instead of having risen
as 1t has to 10000. The party will grow

vt ~
when They Both Wanted to and Neither
Dared Declare War. q
Devotion to the queens majesty was
the picturesque form of an intense pa
triotism, and MS the sixteenth century
entered its last decade patriotism be-
came simply hatred Of Spain. Strange
dogs which have never seen one another
before snarl when they meet; they scent
antipathies. Two men will feed nh in
stinctive mutual dislike even when the
course Of business makes formal polite
ness necessary. So it was with English
man and Spaniard. The necessities of
politics kept the two courts for long
years on terms of hollow, politeness. 1t
was strained again and again to break
ing point, but neither side could afford
to break it. If Philip were to declare
war, France might remember old scores
still unsatisfied and the prosecuted
Netherlands would rise for revenge. If
Elizabeth yielded hastily to tho pressure
OF her ministers or her people or her
foreign allies, she might find the French
hstless, the Dutch powerless and herself
pitted alone against the worldwide pow
er and enormous wealth of Spain, and
then her disaffected subjects would rise
and rally round her rival, Mary of Scot
land.
Each was obliged to play q waiting
game-lying, complimenting. protesting,
with war at tho heart and peace OH tho
lips. 1t was game which, though con-
genial to the peculiar temperament Of
Elizabeth, wore out her ministers and
made Philip gloomy monomaniac.
Both sides were heartily sick of it, yet
neither dared throw up the cards. But
while the courts went through the weary
farce, the peoples knew that they were
enemies. There was sphere far re-
moved from tho control Of cabinets-the
sea; and for years, while London and
Seville wero at peace, on the high seas
there was war. The 'sea dogs not only
snarled, but snapped. This was their
Importance i'll English history at their
own risk, but with tho full connivanco
OF the queen, they took the Spanish
matter into their own hands and dealt
with it in their own downright way.
The tales of their deeds kept the ma
ton from growing dull and tired of the
wearisome policy Of the government,
and SO forgetful of the great work which
God had given it to do. And when the
time came for tho wornout masks to be
thrown aside, and Spain and England
looked at one another with the frank
war light i'll their eyes, tho sea dogs wcro
straightway at the queens service, with
captains, crews and ships, not only ready
but trained for tho great struggle.

Imported Song Birds Thrive.

Inquiry has been received by The
Spokesman Review concerning the re-
suit of an experiment made few years
ago with European singing birds in Ore
gon. Several hundred were brought over
and released in the vicinity of Port
land, with the hope that they would
thrive and multiply and enliven the for
ests with their inspiring notes. Includ-
ed in the collection were specimens of
the skylark, nightingale, thrush and
mavis. The experiment. has proved a
pleasing success. The imported songsters
have spread over a wide area, and oc-
casional y few have been seen east of
the Cascade mountains. The climate is
favorable and tho citizens of German
birth, who raised the purse to introduce
the songsters of tho fatherland, say tho
little strangers sing as sweetly here as
in tho land across tho sea.-Spokane
