The house of Representatives on Tues
day in passing the river and harbor bill
over the presidents veto permitted no
discussion whatever. The committee
filed a one sided report purporting tn be
an answer to the message, but allowed
no friend of the president or advocate of
the views put forth in the veto to say
word. This was significant, for while
the $50, 900 bill undoubtedly con-
tanned many meritorious appropriations
that the president. would have approved
had they been presented to him singly
on their merits, yet the measure was
bit of log rolling legislation overburden-
ed with jobs and schemes of a most per-
nicious character. When President Ar
thur vetoed river and harbor bill of a
similar character but not SO bad, in 1882
while congress rushed it threw over the
veto, yet the best judgment of the coun-
try sustained he..president, as it will IN
dorse President Cleveland's veto.

THE Republicans have freely and un-
justly criticised President Cleveland for
issuing bonds to maintain the national
honor and credit. Republicans have
now been in control of both branches of
congress for nesrly six months. Thus
far, however, they have done absolutely
nothing to protect the treasury gold re-
serve and render the issuing of bonds
unnecessary. Moreover, it is almost
certain that congress will adjourn with

There need be no uncertainty about fix

Made Crazy by Lightning.

New York, May 31.-William Scarler,
a coachman, was removed to-day to
Bellevue Hospital to be treated for in
sanity. He went 10 bed Saturday night
sound in mind and body, but at mid
night closed his window because of the
thunderstorm that was brewing, having
had fear of lightning all his life.
Later the storm became more violent,
and he was awakened by thunder clap
and flash of lightning that lit up the
room. Scarler sprang from his bed and
became demented. Subsequently he
grew worse and rushed about, threaten
ing to cut the electricity from his body
with a knife. He gave seven policemen
a hard tussle to get him into the patrol
wagon.

There is no doubt that the revoiu-

as the planters were diverted from

carefully respected and their crops Were
not destroyed by the hoofs of our

AT first the Cuban family had no
fear of the Spanish soldier. and our
wounded were safe But all this has
changed as by magic. since Spain APP

The certainty that the free coinage
Democrats have carried Kentucky, says
the Pittsburg Post, makes it reasonably
sure they will control the conventions
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. This will
leave the west and south solid for silver,
with the exception of Michigan, the
possibility that Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin will go for sound money, and with
contesting delegations from South Da-
kota and Nebraska. Every state of the
south, except Maryland and Delaware,
may be placed in the free coinage col
umn. The way it now looks all the New
England states, with their rs votes in
convention, Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland,
with their us votes, and probably Mich
igan Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Da-
kota and Nebraska, with their "a votes,
will include the anti-silver vote in the
Democratic national convention. This
will make a total Of $50 votes out OF the
9Oi delegates yho will compose the con
yentiOn. There may be additions 10 the
total Of the anti-silver votes by scattering
delegates from the south and west, where
the states will not vote as a unit, but the
number will be inconsiderAble, from
present appearances. There may be a
score or more Of delegates Of this type
from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia
and Virginia that may possibly increase
the anti-free coinage vote to $40; and
taking things a. they appear on the sur
face this is about the best that can be
expected. The Past regrets this condi-
ton as full Of danger TO the Democratic
party, but it is hest not to hide the facts,
and to deal honestly with its readers.
The platform of the convention will be
adopted by majority vote, but to nom
mate candidates for president and vice
president will require 562 votes, or two
thirds of the delegates. 1t would ap-
pear that the anti-free coinage Demo
Gratis are assured of more than one-third
of the convention, or 302 delegates.

The most decisive i'll service Mr.. Har-
rity has rendered the cause of sound
money and of the administration, says
the. York GGzette, was the evil ex-
ample of tyrannical and selfish bossism
he set in the passage of his infamous
unit rule at Allentown. That conven-
tion was held early enough to give time
ly warning to Democrats in the silver
states of the tactics of the gold standard
men, wherever they might have the pow
er. Because Mr.. Harrity ran it, Its ac-
ton was unfairly taken to reflect the
presidents wishes.
Although there were no silver men
likely to appear in the Pennsylvania del
egation. Mr.. Harrity gave out that the
adoption of the "odious and un- Demo
cratic unit rule was, in some mysteri-
Gus. way, necessary to the success of
sound money at Chicago. 1t was pass
ed, not for sound money or for Pattison,
or for any honest purpose, but to enable
Mr.. Harrity to trade the delegation for
hia own advantage, as he did in 1892,
aud so to perpetuate his ruinous rule OF
the party in the state.
1t is now quite apparent that Mr.. Har-
ritys unit rule presents the greatest of
all dangers to sound money at Chicago.
But for that fatal misstep sound money
would have been vastly stronger in the
convention. Accepting the challenge
and following the example of Pennsyl-
vania, manipulated by Mr.. Harrity, the
free silver states are adopting the unit
rule, disfranchisiDg and suppressing the
gold standard districts and their repre-
sentatives. Iowa has already respond
ed. Illinois and Virginia will certainly
follow, and Indiana and Ohio are likely
to do the same. When sound money
men line up at Chicago, at the critica
moment, they will find large numbers Of
their friends in those states, gagged and
bound, under unit rules, passed in re-
sponse to Mr.. Harrity's challenge, By
states which, up to this time, have beer
sternly opposed to the infamous rule
and which use it now only tc
meet what they consider the un
just and barbarous tactics of their oppo-
nents of which the example was first SCI
In Pennsylvania.
1t is not impossible that the only hop,
for sound money at Chicago may b,
found in an appeal to the good con
science of the national convention I,
disregard the "odious and un-Democrat
ic unit rule, and allow each delegat
to cast his vote according to the wishe
of his constituents.

The town of Pratt, Kansas, has repu-
dated its bonded Indebtedness. The
City Council has instructed the treasurer
not to pay any more interest coupons on
the city's bonded debt of $4,000, and
the mayor and council have come to the
conclusion that they might just as well
turn the real estate over to the bond
holders. All kinds of property have suf-
fered great decrease in value during
the last few years, and investments in
real estate bring little if any returns.
The city administration concludes that
it is next to impossible for them even to
pay interest

OF the Democratic state committee,
claimed that It Will require the official

AT that hour he had received returns
from 81 OF the 90 counties, showing plu-
rallty for Mckinley OF S,137. These did

increase Mcl<lnlcy's plurality to about
1900. Chairman Martin. however,
however, charges that In some counties
OF the state the Democratic and Popu-
list votes were not aggregated. which, if
true. would decrease McKinlcy's appnr-

nwait the official count, refusing In the
meantime to conccdc the state.
The 81 counties hoard from at S o'clock
showed 4 Democratic loss over 1892 OF
15.4i2. In some OF the counties D.lli to
