NORTHER In TEXAS.
Lone Star state Visited by Severe
storm Of Sleet and snow.

st. Louis. Dec. 1.-Dispatches from
various points in southern and central
Texas indicate that severe norther,
combined with sleet and snow storm, pre-
vailed to-day throughout that section. In
the vicinity of Houston, the norther blew
for three days and the first snow since
February IA, 1895, fell to the depth of
several inches west Of there. No danger
to stock is feared as the range is fine. The
sugar planters are uneasy, as big
freeze would cause great damage to most
of the cane standing in the fields.
At Port Lavaca, Texas, it has been ex-
cessively cold, all shipping being tenn.
porarily tied up owing to the snow and
sleet storm.
Three inches of snow fell at Eagle Pass.
This is unprecedented for that section.

I had supposed that it was generally
agreed by thoughtful aud rational BIZ

have helped, but rather hindered the cause

then, can the late decision Of the United

injure the contest for bimetallism?

CAN NOT Be THRILLED WITH
Senator Chandler Warns Sold Advo-
Gates That Silver Question is Not
Dead in America.
BIMETALLISM is VERY MUCH ALIVE
"Unless the Republican Party Settles
Silver Question Before 1900 There
Will Be Nothing Left of That
Party After 1900"

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Post in 6
cable letter from London prints an ad
vance copy of an important article writ
ten by William e. Chandler, senator
from New Hampshire, for the Decem bel
issue of the National Review, the conser.
vative monthly, in which he discusses the
late election from the Republican stand.
point. His principal object is to en-
courage European bimetallists to con-
tinue their propaganda.
The Review comm enting editorially
upon the election Of ior Mckinley dog
matically asserts that Sunless the Re-
publican party settles the silver ques-
tion before 1900 there will be nothing left
of that party after 1900"
Senator Chandler's article is as follows
European bimetallists need not believe
that the selection of Mckinley and
Hobart by overwhelming majorities is
decision to permanently acceds to the
single gold standard. The Bryan prop
osition was soon seen by the American
voters to be simply that the United States
should
ACCEPT SILVER MONOMETALLIsM,
should give up all attempts to keep gold
and silver at parity, should send gold
to premium and thereby make it mer-
chandise merely, and should base all
American prices upon silver only. It can
hardly be consldered, upon reflection,
by any true bimetallist, that such action
on our part would have helped the cause
Of bimetallism in any country in the
world.
1t is trne the Bryanites called them
selves bim etalists, and that Mr.. Bryan
in his recent outcry from his temporary
political entombment addresses not the
Democrats, nor the Populists, nor the
people, but the bimetallists This, how
ever, is sheer affectation. No Bryan ora
tor or writer has seriously denied that the
adoption of his policy-"the immediate,
unlimited free coinage of silver by the
United States alone"-would send gold to
a premium and keep it there for an in.
definite period. Surely that would be
silver monometallism; and can it be
contended that silver monometallism is
any better stepping stone to blmetallism
than
