AN ENGLISH PROTEST.
A Writer Who Wants to See Fair Play
Maintained.

In the National Review an English
man comes forward in defense of free
coinage. This gentleman, Mr.. Powell,
declares that the Englishman at least
cannot complain of the United States
trying to prevent England from still
further increasing the debt We owe it.
He puts the case between the two coun-
tries as follows:
s.But as between the United States
and ourselves, we have two nations
confronting one another, in the clear
and prominent relation of debtor and
creditor for they are our largest debt
or and we are their largest creditor),
and over period of iuure than twenty
yeers-no inconsiderabie chapter in
the commercial life of progressive ma
tions in a progressive age-the value
of the money measuring their mass of
debt to us has steadily grown and
grown to nearly double its former fig
ure, and threatens, with the cOnfirma-
tion and extension of the gold stand
ard, to grow still more. 1t seems in
credible that Englishmen should lee
ture the United States in sorrow and
anger from the creditors standpoint,
and not even see that the facts OF the
case turn their argument dead against
themselves. The English nation has
no wish to be dishonest, any more than
the American nation. If Englishmen
as whole saw, as their advisers might
| make them see, what heavy and
grievous and additional burden this
unforeseen and unintended apprecia-
| tion of the. money measure has laid
upon their debtor kinsmen and rivals,
| they would surely as a whole echo Ar
thur BalfOur's indignant protest
against the doctrine which Mr.. Glad
stone and Sir William Harcourt, with
the approval of some other public men
were not ashamed to utter in the house
of commons-that the appreciation OF
gold was welcome to England as cred.
| itor nation. Just because we are the
great creditor nation of the world, Oul
boasted love of fair play should make
US constantly anxious for STANDARD
which preserves. Justice between our
selves and our debtors"
This puts the matter very clearly
but if Mr.. Powell, speaking for Eng
land, protests against the adoption o
the gold standard as dishonest, becaus
it increases the debt due tnat cOuntr,
by other nations, what shall we say o
those Americans who clamor for tn

One day last week the Salisbury
World office was fOrcibly entered
and all the mischief possibly
was done. An entrance was fore
ed into into the Office through the
rear window in the press room. Moth
ing was disturbed in the press room
but the cowardly depredatOr, who by
this vile act placed himself on level
with the iucendiary, passed on to the
composing room where the forms for
the Weekly, which is printed this eve
ming, were in readiness. The type
was taken from the forms and part of
it dashed on the floor. The remain
der was pied in the form. After the
forms came the cases. All the cases
were thrown on the floor and the type
badly mixed. Who perpetrated this
outrage is not definitely known. We
have our suspicious anu are reluctant
ly forced to the conclusion that il
was done by a political foe. We have
been only slightly damaged by the
outrage and We calulate that if this
has been done by some one opposed to
us politically, and we believe such to
| be the case, they will find it to work a
vaster detriment to their party than

The Sunday Editions an Epoch-Maker in
Newspaper History.
This country is being treated to the
greatest exhibition Of journalistic en-
terprise the world has ever seen in the
gigantic strides which the New York
Journal is making in quantity, quality,
and circulation. In the short space
OF one year under the ownership
and direction of Mr.. William r.
Hearst, this paper has leaped from
obsurity to fame; from penury to
profit.
The Sunday editions are marvel of
accomplishment. There are general
ly forty-four pages OF every classifica-
tion of reading matter that the eager
reader can covet. This matter is pre-
pared by specialists whose technical
knowledge and literary eminence pc
culiarly qualify them for their SUBJ
jects which come under their techni-
cal pens.
The art work is feature which
commends it to the lovers of pictorial
expressions above any other of the
Gotham dailies. The corps of car
toonists, led by the famous Davenport,
contribute to the laughter of the ma
tion by their keen and humorous sa-

ITO DEFEAT TELLER'S REELECTION.

Combination Against Him In Colorado,
Headed by Senator woIcott.,
From the Denver Republican
If Senator Wolcott can accomplish
the defeat of Senator Teller next
January in the State Legislature, he
can have the portfolio to London, if
Mckinley is elected, and that is the
goal OF Cousin Eds ambition.
The junior Senator is fighting to
gain the prize as he never fought be-
fore, and if the people are not care
full he may succeed. ALI the money
he requires will be at his command.
State Senator Callahan, of Mon
tana, was caller on Chairman
Broad, of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee this week, and stat
cd that he WAS given letter to read
from j. B. Hggan, of the Anaconda
property, written in New York, say
ing that fund of $25O,OO0 was be-
ing raised there to defeat Senator
Teller, and that $50, 900 had already
been dispatched to Denver, subject
to the order of Senator Wolcott.
The letter was written to one of the
most prominent men in Montana,
one who has aided largely the silver
cause. Mr.. Higgan gave the lnfcr-
nation not because either he or his
correspondent were interested in the
defeat of the silver champion, but as
a new and important feature in the
campaign. Not only is the Woicott
machine supplying the Populists, but
it is working industriously to secure
the election of a Populist Governor.
The Wolcott managers announce
this publicly and privately; they are
telling their tools to work for Bailey,
and they are giving the result Of
their past experience in questiona-
BILE politics to the Popullst to help
them on the State ticket.
With the Legislative ticket it is
different. The Wolcott forces are
bending all their energies to secure
the election of this end of their tick
ct, while on the other hand the Pop
ulists are paying no attention what
ever to their legislative ticket IN this
county. When the votes are count
ed it will be found that there is 6.
great discrepancy in the number cast
for the county and State tickets Of
both the Populists and Mckinley
ties. There is deal by which the
Populists will sell out to Wolcott
their legislative ticket on the under
standing that he will support the
State ticket.
If the McKinleyites can get suf-
ficient number of the Legislature to
make it a stand off, they will de-
pend on bribery to do the rest.
