A PROPOSITION TO CIRCULATE
SILVER WITHOUT LOSS.

1t may be hard for the advocates Of a
free silver coinage to believe that
newspaper that opposed it, at the pro-
posed ratio of 16 to l, can be, and is,
friend of silver currency; nevertheless, It
is true that The Statesman believes that
statesmen should exhaust legislation in
maintaining as large circulation of sill
yer coin as is compatible with Il safe cur
rency and sound credit. While silver
has been downed at ratio of 16 to 1
the circulation of silver has by no means
been condemned. Every ingenuity of
fnanciers ought to be exercised to keep as
large circulation of silver current, re-
deemable in gold or its equivalent, as is
possible and safe.
1t is impossible to make two metals of
unequal and frequently shifting change
in bullion valNe, one standard of value,
but it may bt '0ssible to arrive at
means for circ, ing both metals side
by side in equal 'bt-paying capacity.
Mr.. Hurd suggests nan that is worthy
Of consideration. He says that the gov

SAILS FOR VENEZUELA.
Minister Andrade Has Taken Copy of
the Treaty for Submission.

Washington, Nov 14.-Senor Andrade,
minister to the United States from Ven
ezuela, has gone home. He has taken
with him a copy of the treaty between
Venezuela and Great Britain of the
boundary dispute, together with copy
signed by Secretary Olney and Sir Jul
liam Pauncefote, which was preliminary
to the treaty between the countries ac-
tually in interest.
Senior Andrade will urge his govern
ment to accept the treaty at once, lie
will carry a letter from Secretary Olney,
which will show the position of this
country and will point out to the vene-
zuelan government the advantage of ac-
boundary on the lines secured through
the intervention of the United States.
Senior Andrade left Washington conf
dent there would be no hesitation in ac-
ceptng the treaty. The treaty will have
to be approved not only by President
Crespo, but by the house of representa-
tives of Venezuela.
Minister Andrade had no doubt of the
speedy action on the part of the Nene-
zuelan legislature, especially when it
was found that a treaty so favorable to
that country had been made. and its
adoption strongly urged by the United
States. The treaty is in blank as to the
signatures, but there is no doubt that it
will be signed by Sir Julian Pauncefote
on the part of Great Britain and by
Senior Andrade on the part of Venezuela.
as it is known to be the intention of all
those taking part in the negotiations to
have it concluded in Washington, as was
the agreement between Great Britain
and the United States, which brought
about the treaty.

eminent must have control of the coinage
of both metals as it has under the cons-i-
tuition, as well as the additional discretion
as to the volume of metal currency, so
that it will be ready at all times to re-
deem the least valuable with the most
valuable coin. He then proposes that
the government buy the bullion of both
having in the treasury the difference ne
tween the coin value and the bullion
value. and that any difference shall be
made good.
To illustrate this plan, it is understood
that the government had bought a GER
tain amount of silver bullion and coined
a certain number of silver dollars and
that the balance of the silver was in the
treasury. AS an example, say that the
government bought $1,000 worth of silver
bullion at its gold value and coined from
it $1,000 in silver dollars. 1t had left
in the treasury $40 worth of silver, at
gold valuation. So that whatever of
bullion value is not contained in $1,000
of coined silver is in the treasury, and
the government can not lose anything
when it redeems or takes in, in any way,
one of those silver dollars at its face
value in gold.
This seems upon its face a proposition
worthy of the closest consideration, as
many fnanciers do not believe that we
will ever be able to have an international
bimetallic agreement with the nations of
the earth that are Of sufficient wealth TO
warrant the circulation of unlimited sill
yer. Many of the advocates of free coin
age during the late campaign believed
that the cause of silver was injured by
making the most extreme test of it or
by making the coinage of silver free
from the discretionary control of The
government
If the Chicago convention had been
satisfied to display its friendship for Ill
yer by embodying such Il proposition as
this in its financial plank, instead Of
arbitrarily insisting upon fixed ratio it
would most probably have found many
more friends at the polls on the Bird of
November. Those democrats who OPP
posed the free silver platform made at
Chicago often declared their friendship
for silver, but of course during the can
vass they were not credited, but since the
canvass is over and the extreme meas
ures rejected, the gold standard demo-
Gratis are manifesting their friendship for
silver in more conservative way.

Secretary Morton deserves credit for
the manner in which, through all the
clamor against the agricultural depart
ment, he has conducted it, His report
will show that he has covered back into
the treasury in the four years of his ad-
ministration 100000 of the appro-
priations made in that department, or
100000 for each year of his term. 1t
is very rare thing for any department
of the government to have an excess of
appropriations made it, which the chief
is able to cover back into the treasury.
Notwithstanding this the growing con-
gressmen have had their seeds to dis
tribute to their agricultural constituents.
All honor and praise to Secretary Nor
ton for his economic administration
when he was all the time under run
ming fire of the members of congress,
demanding seeds to send to the farmers
who did not want the seeds. but it
showed up the congressman's interest in
Them.

A strong free silver democrat said
yesterday that he had been subscriber
and daily reader of The Statesman for
twelve years and although he had to
squirm daily for the last three months
under the arguments of the paper against
free silver he was ready to acknowledge
that The Statesman was the very clean
est and most heightened paper, not only
in Texas, but in the whole country. He
added that although it had been against
him, the dear old Statesman was still
close to his heart.
This, of course, is very gratifying and
we believe we are not msrepresenting
when we say that The Statesman is more
popular in its home locality than any
daily paper in Texas is in its home To-
cality. The reason of this is because
it has always been the best friend Austin
and the surrounding country ever had
and because it is truthful, clean and fair
Mt all times and towards all men and
all political parties. We do know that
The Statesman has the good women of
Austin ON its side, for we have had
abundant evidence of that fact. A news
paper that has the best women of its
locality favorable to it can not be far
wrong in its conduct.

APPRECIATES A GOOD THING.
Buffalo Will Get Electric Power From
the Falls of Niagara,

Buffalo, n. Y. Nov. 1.-THE electric
problem of transmitting the power of
Niagara Falls to Buffalo for industrial
purposes has been solved. Tomorrow
mt noon the company will make its en-
trance within the city gates. The work
of building the transmission line was be-
gun last August and concluded early this
month. Should experimental use of the
power by the street railway company
prove satisfactory, the contracts will fol-
low as early as the company can supply
the energy.
The force of the falls will be utilized
by digging immense pits in the solid rocks
off the shore above the cataract, in the
bottom of which pits are immense tur-
bines that revolve by the force of the
water that falls upon them, diverted
from the river to the mouth of the pits
by a canal.
There will be special ceremonies tomOr-
row. Local business men of Buffalo
will hold a celebration of the event,
which may take the form of an electrical
display.

JUDGE PARKER DYING.
He was Terror to Evil Doers-Presided
Over Fort Smith Court

Fort Smith. Ark, Nov. 16.-.Judge
Isaac c. Parker, the well known jurist,
is dying. He has been suffering from a
complication of diseases arising from
fatty degeneration of the heart for the
past four or five years. He has been
steadily growing weaker for the past
few days, but it was not until 3 o'clock
this afternoon that the announcement
was made by his attending physicians
that his case was hopeless and that his
death is now looked for at any moment.
Judge Parker represented the ST.
Joseph (AIo.) district in congress and
was appointed to the bench by President
Grant in 1874. He has been located at
Fort Smith ever since and has probably
passed the death sentence on more men
than any other judge in the United
States.

THE DANGERS OF OSCILLATION.

We take issue with the New York ply
sicians who declare that the moustache
is kind of carryall for the microbes of
disease and who warn women not to kiss
men with mOustache. Uncleanliness
is the prolific breeder of microbes, and
if man is so careless as to let his NOUS
tache accumulate filth, of course no
woman ought to kiss him. But we ira
verse the inference that every mans
moustache is unclean. and therefore the
who has any self-respect uses soap and
water too often on his moustache to al
low it to become a microbe breeder. Of
course, if a man is not neat or is filthy
no woman will kiss him. but we kick
against the ostracism of moustached
kisses. A moustache can be kept much
cleaner than the teeth, and there is
much more danger from the teeth COM
muuicating disease in the osculatOry pro-
cess than there is in the moustache con-
veying microbes to the red lips of the
wife or sweetheart.
However, The Statesman has record
against promscuous kissing, especially
of everybody who meets a pretty child,
kissing it. We regard it as a great pre-
sumption in anybody but intimate friends
of the family taking the liberty of kiss
ing every pretty baby they meet. The
fact is that indiscriminate kissing be-
tween the fair sex ought to be abolished
on sanitary grounds. There is but one
excuse for kissing, and that is when two
people of the opposite sex love each other
so much that they can't help kissing.
When mutual love takes possession of
one man and one woman they will throw
all sanitary precautions to the winds.
They will kiss each other or rather the
woman will permit the man she loves
to kiss her.

morning, en- route from his Nebraska

Mr.. Bryan spent the little time he had

every one whom he passed.
Mr.. Bryan was feeling especially well
and to reporter talked of his intended
campaign until 1900 and expressed his
belief that the democratic party would
carry the banner of silver into the White
House four years hence.
Mr.. Bryan refused to discuss the pos
sible favorable acts towards silver of
Presdent-elect Mckinley. He talked
freely and in reply to numerous inquiries
put to him by reporters said, among other
things:

No election will insure prosperity I'M

certain questions may restore confidence

1t is very generally conceded that 'he
silver senators will not again attempt to
block legislation to provide Il sufficient
revenue for the expenses of the govern

do not demonstrate that the Wilson bill
will eventually provide revenue, the sill
