THE ISSUE IN SILVER.

The issue of the day will be under
stood if we drop the confusing figures
of 16 to l, stop talking of gold, which
neither party proposes to touch direct
ly, and consider silver alone, says the
New York Sun.
The old silver dollar contained 3714
grains of silver. During the fifty
years after 1884, when gold became
the single standard of the United
States, 3714 grains of silver we're worth
more than dollar, and hence no sill
YER was coined. When silver was ode
monetized" in 1873 a coined dollar of
it was worth $1.O3. As no silver was
being coined then, its demonstration
done in full light of long and open
discussion, was the mere repeating of
an obsolete law. To-day owing main
ly to the enormous increase in silver
production, 3714 grains are worth only
fifty-three cents, and the Bryan issue
is to give men the right to call this
fifty-three cents worth of silver dol
lar. That is square and bare repudi-
alton.
1t would be equally proper, equally
just, and equally honest to call fifty
three cents worth of copper dollar.
The Bryan men keep themselves in
countenance with the argument that
3714 grains of silver constituted dol
lar years ago, and copper never did.
Then they undertake to give an air of
sanctity to their piratical scheme by in
flammatory attacks on gold. Their one
hope is to excite a majority of the
public with sense of hatred against
the rich and the financial system un-
der which people have prospered that
they will crafty strike at it, even to
the paralysis or wreck of industry in
general.

A red-hot time is on down in St.
Louis, where the Populists, free silver
ties and few Democrats are holding
National convention with the view
of putting up candidate for Presi-
dent or endorsing the candidacy of
the Chicago Democratic convention,
W. ]. Bryan. The Donnelly element
is opposed to the endorsement, other
Pops are willing to endorse Bryan but
are against Sewall, while still others
are in for the nomination of straight
out Populist ticket. On Tuesday a
Bryan boomer at the convention made
the open charge that two agents of
Marcus Aurelius Hanna, the McKin-
Icy boomer, had approached him, and
offered to pay him for his vote and
influence if he would use it against
the endorsement of the Democratic
nominees.

escape.

The GAZETTE does not see good
business sense in the proposition OF
our Democratic brethren that after
borrowing dollar it is honest to pay
so cents in return for it. We presume
that they propose to make the argu-
ment all the more stronger because
the loss will be on the side of the
rich. An honest people will never
pay an honest debt with a dishonest
dollar and the silver in an American
dollar at the present time is only

Last week the Spanish censor at
Havana had Gen. Antonio Maceo
killed in battle or by superior ofic-
or. Immediately after the report the
Cuban general, at the head of Cuban
troops, showed himself to be very
much alive by completely routing a
Spanish detachment sent out to give
Maceo battle. The Cubans continue
active while the unacclimated and
poorly fed and paid Spanish troops
continue almost altogether on the de-
fensiye. Weyler's career on the is
land cannot continue long.

The gold reserve in the United
States treasury has again been reduc-

claims that the Withdrawals will soon
cease. In case the claim does not
prove true another bond issue may be
expected before Maj. Mckinley takes
hold at the White House.

BEAVERS PULL.
Mother Beaver is already CONNIE

Mother Beaver is already commenc-
ing to give her children of Renville
county lesson in enterprise. Awak-
ening from the lethargy in which so
long she has been ,wrapt the citizens
of that town, in order to boom the no.
tel, candy and cigar business, have
called general tramp meeting. The
latter is not meeting of tramps, but
according to the preamble and resolu-
tions, is to be a meeting of citizens
called for the purpose of considering
ways, means and the silver to put a
stop to the tramp nuisance. The name
of civilian Wichman, sheriff." is ap.
pended to the call, and we have no
doubt but that, with the general
meeting and this officer, the tramps
will soon be salt-petered out of Rem
vile county, and particularly out Of
Mother Beaver, where there is moi
rest for the weary.

Hon. John Lind was formally
placed before the voters of Minnesota
as an independent candidate for Gov
ernor by the free silver men of all
three political parties in convention
assembled last Thursday. 1t is prob
ably we'll to state that on the question
OF governor National issues have but
very little effect. The voter expresses
his opinion on National issues by vot-
ing for Congressman, for Presidential
electors, and for members of the legist>
lature, when the latter have to vote for
a United States Senator. A vote for
the straight ticket assists in keeping
up the party organization; a vote
against it or against some one man on
the ticket is often cast on account of
record, character, etc. There may be-
large number of the latter this year,

for Their Suburbs.

The Mount Pleasant Citizens A Association
met last night at Mount Pleasant, Presi-
dent Somerviile in the chair.
OF the important matters discussed and
acted on was the bill how before Congress
providing FOR compulsory sewer connections.
After a long debate the re port OF the local
committee on sanitation, presented by Mr..
Woodruff, in favor OF the bill was adopted.
The report was opposed by Mr.. Someryille
on the ground that it would impose hard
ship on poor people, and by General Spier
for its penalty clause and its results.
A vigorous speech in behalf OF the report
was made by MIR. Hanson, after which IL was
adopted.
The report of the committee on contribu-
| ton. suggesting some changes. was read
by Mr.. Cbatfield and adopted.
Mr.. Someryilie suggested that the as-
sociation approve the extension OF the
| fire limits north ward TO Piney Branch
| road and Fourteenth street To the Zoo,
| In that way, he said, overhead wires in
! that section could be prevented.
Mr.. Davis opposed the extension OF the
! fire limits. He saw no objection to a
| few poles or wires. Then, tCo, he said.
| IT would exclude the erection of frame
| buildings.
The extension idea was, however, ap-
! proved by the association
| The association approved the sendte
bill providing Tor uniformity in street
nomenclature. Also the bill passed by
the Senate for the extension of regula-
tions respecting party walls.
| Mr. Chatfield moved that the association
! ask for two additional policemen in tie
suburbs adjacent TO Mount Pleasant and
the Zoo and Rock Greek Park. II was
| adopted
Mr. Chatfield moved that the trustees
| OF the public schools he requested 10 re-
| store the grammar as text book in the
schools On motion of Mr.. Davis the matter
was referred to the committee ON schools
The annual election was to have been
held last night, but owing to the lateness o
the hour to which other business was pro
longed, the election was deferred until
the first Wednesday in June.
President Somerville expressed himself
to the effect that a good many of the
things claimed by the Columbia Heights
Association, as reported in morning

WILL NOT EXTEND STREETS
Congress Is Not Disposed to Act
On This Matter Now.
Republican Leaders Afraid That q
poets of Early Adjournment.

The question OF street extension for
this session was settled yesterday afternoon.
Since the matter was finally referred by
Chairman Mcmillan and the Senate District
Committee to the appropriations Com
mittee, steady effort has been in progress
TO get some amendment on the District
appropriation bill by which extensions can
be made on the streets where property
holders are complaining, with most Justice,
that their money Is tied up and they can
neither Sell nor mortgage SO as to improve
and get some return on their investments.
Assistant District Attorney Armes has
urged his proposition that an issue OF $780,
900 worth of bonds each year be authorized.
Others have been before the subcommittee
to press consideration of other plans. The
District Commissioners have favored Mr..
Proctor's bill, S. 2S, for extension of the
sewer system along with big bond issue
for street extension. They have been
willing TO accept the amendments offered.
There rs, however, no chance now that
such measure will he urged. This was
determined yesterday afternoon at
meeting ofRepublicanso on the appropriations
Committee with Republican members OF
the District Committee.
| One cause for this is the disposition of
the Republicans to pusb-t@e work of both
houses and secure IN early adjournment.
They have agreed not TO pass anything that
will lead to u protraeted discussion and

may lie done TO provide for extension of

about 9 O'Clock last night.
Very little information could be OBJ

His parents could not elicit very much
