LIGHTING THE sKY-ROCKETs.

The present session of the United
States senate is introducing some de-

OF course this is all shocking TO that

So long as We are asked 10 do business
on a gold basis with no gold in sight
the trouble must continue. Running
into debt for the gold will in the end
break the borrower, even though shat
borrower be a nation of infinite re-
sources. With gold flowing out. and
gold the only money, the tightening
process must continue. 1t is as plain
as that two and two make four. The
banks will hoard what they mold and
borrowers will find it harder and hard
er to meet their obligations. 1t is the
same old story over again. The cOun-
try has received the lesson many times.

money dear and the burden of debt

1t is also an old assertion, the truth
Of which is being more and more clear
ly shown by events, that there can be
no relief as long as the gold standard
is adhered TO. A temporary revival
in business last year seemed to contra
dict this and men began to lose in
tereSt in the coinage question. But
they have been brought back face to
face with the truth and the lesson will
sink deeper into their minds this time
than it ever did before. A revival of
the silver discussion may be looked for
in the near future not only in this cOun-
try but also in Europe. BimetallistS
of the Old World will reassert them
selves and the popular demand for in
dependent coinage in the United States
will revive.

CAN WE WHIP GERMANY

The times all seem out of joint.
Every national power seems bent on
row with any or every other power,
it making little difference, apparently,
who, or whether the Offense be real or
imaginary. One day it's England and
America, the next Germany and Eng
land and the next Turkey and Russia,
and so on. Salisbury had hardly con-
ceded that the Monroe doctrine of
America involves a real and well de-
fined principle, and smOOthed over
EnglandS threatened rupture with
Germany over the Transvaal matter,
until we find Germany herself about
to tread on Americas Monroe toe.
! Germany is insisting on the payment
of Il South American claim and threat
ening TO land troops on American soil
for its collection. 1t is just as pOSSi-
bic for Germany to violate the Mon
roe doctrine as it is for England to do
so. The Monroe doctrine makes no dis
tinctiCn between European nations
There could be no graver violation of
the Monroe doctrine, short Of wantOn
invasion, than the landing of troops
and the seizure Of free Amtrican terri
tory in order TO enforce an alleged
pecuniary claim. This was Englands 5
offenSe in the CorintO affair. and the
supine Indifference Of Mr.. Cleveland
to that outrage undoubtedly embolden-
ed Lord Salisbury to be more aggres-
siye in his attitude toward Venezuela
If Germany intends to seize EeneZ-
Uelan territory as security for debts
alleged to be due to German subjects,
the act should be resented at Wash
ingtOn 1t would in effect be an act of
war against Venezuela, and if war
should not result, it would be only on
account of Venezuelan weakness and
forbearance.
No European nation should be allow
ell 10 collect by force Of arms debts due
10 its subjects in South America. The
unstable character Of the local govern
mentS is well known 10 Europeans who
risk their capital in those countries.
and the very fact that force is behind
the foreign claimant has doubtless
often lead to unjust and extortionate
claims being presented. In this re
Spect nearly all the powers of western
Europe have been offenders. and all of
them should be made to understand

OKLAHOMA FOR REED.
Ponca City, Okla. Feb. 3,

Ponca City, Okla, Feb. 3, 1896.
To the Editor of the Daily Eagle.
1 desire space in the Eagle to discuss
very briefly. a proposition which is receiv-
ing very serious consideration in this ter
ritory just at the present time.
Can Oklahoma afford to have a per
sonaI choice as regards presidential candi-
dates, in the coming St. Louis conven-
ton?
There are a good many men in Oklahoma
who think they have personal and political
relations with Major Mckinley and his
managers of such a character that they
may expect preferment in case OF the
elevation of the great protectionist 10 the
presidency. They are quite unanimously
OF the opinion that the people should in
struc. their delegates for the man whom
they personally favor, and OF course are
certain that man is Mckinley, and that
they are his prophets. \ fe| others VINO
are not moved by such cons-derati tons be
lieve the same way, and honestly and
frankly say so. Mr.. Harrison. Mr.. ALI
son and others have few supporters Of
the same kind.
I believe. however. that the great ma
jority OF Oklahomans take another view
OF the situation. Il seems evident 10 close
observers ard 20 those who have the ma
terial welfare of Oklahoma al heart. that

Colonel Dan Anthony writes us that

last Almost every county in the state
will be represented. Senator Lucien
Baker viii make the reception speech.
LeavenwOrth has the reputation, and
it's well deserved. of being the most
hOSpitable entertainer of any city in
the state. No question but that the
two days will be one continued round
Of pleasure and of that kind of plea
sure which comes of being interested
and entertained at the same time.
There is really more of interest to be
seen in that city, its environments in
cluded, than at any ponit in Kansas.
The Times of Sunday says that the
people of LeavenwOrth are taking
great inttreSt in the meeting and are
providing in a handsome and liberal
way, everything necessary to render
the occasion both pleasant and profit
able.

a NEW GOLD CAMP.

A new mining district is rapidly COM
ing 10 the front in ROutt county. north
western Colorado. known as the Hahn :
Peak district. Hahn'S Peak is situated
north of Steamboat Springs twenty
five miles and within five miles of the
Wyoming line. Through that region
runs a Tast mineral belt. and among
other things the supply of coal is un-
limited and of the finest quality. Both
silver and gold bearing ores are found
as also free gold and placer mining.
There is no question hut that the dis
trict is remarkably rich in both metals.
East of Hahn'S Peak, on the head
waters of the Elk river, are other rich
deposits, which but for the fact OF
their almost inaccessability would be
making rich returns. No railroad
reaches this region nearer than one
hundred miles. Mines have already
been opened which would make their
owners rich could they but get their
ores TO market or to a smelter. But
people are pouring into that country
and next summer will witness lively
times. The district is some three hun
dred miles northwest of Denver. The
present indications are that the Rio
Grande or some other road will be built
through the Yampa valley on the trib-
utarieS of which lie the gold and min
eral districts above alluded 10. Our

account of claim jumping and threaten

THE COMMITTEE MEETS.

The Republican state central com
mittee of Kansas meets in Topeka to-
day. There is an impression abroad
that everything is cut and dried,-fixed.
1t is to be hoped that here are no
grounds for this. and that it is mis-
taken one 1t is said that there is but
one issue, that one hinging upon the
proposition as to who shall be boss
as between TWO men. and that the en-
tire Republican forces must line up for
prove true it will be unfortunate for
the party. Wise leadership is not TO
be deSpised, but is rather desirable.
Upon the other hand bossism is
abominable if not out Of the question
in Kansas. If the sentiment Of the
majority Of the party, at large, in the
state is not reflected in the choice of
the delegations to st. Louis, it will be
in November, and 10 the hurt Of the
party. If the committee goes beyond
the fixing Of the times and places Of the
convention, if it undertakes TO foreStall
free party action by laying wires which
will compel a choice as between two
men as the only issue, such action will
be at the expense of the party and its
ticket next fall. There is too much
dissatisfaction and contention already.
In determining the times and places
for the conventions, and the numbers
constituting them, the members Of the
state central committee should not lose
sight Of the fact that they are not repre-
senting the Republican party, by sec
tiOns, but as n whole, and not the pOlit-
ical interests and ambitions of two
men. Much less should they be gov
erned or controlled in their votes and
decisions by either Of two men or by
both combined.
