Will THE popULIsr sUBMITq


The Republican leaders here, white

howlers, all sing the same tune. They
declare that fusion upon State matters
and for members of Congress is GER
tain. Some say there will be fusion on
electors, and some say not, but all say
that it is certain ON all other lines.
why do they say so? They do not
hesitate, every one of them, to say that
the Populists, having had taste Of
Office, will fuse in spite of everything
that NAV be said. Some of them say
that the Populists holding the offices
control the party, and will do so in
spite of Senator Butler and in the face
OF their declarations in favor of silver.
They laugh at anybody who tells them
that the PopuIists are after anything
but offices, and some of Senator Pritch-
ards friends declare that he has more
influence with the Populists than Sena-
tor Butler, and can put him to route
in his own party if he stands against
fusion.

HE Is A sTRADDLE-BUG.

Yesterdays Caucasian says:
Senator Pritchard is writing letters
in which he says: Senator Butler
seems to be opposed to a joint cleo
toral ticket, and wants us to agree to
an independent free silver electoral
ticket, which will never do for us to
adopt as policy. On the other hand
Mr.. Holton and Settle are fayoring a
straight ticket which is also a hazard
Gus thing for us to do at this juncture.'
Senator Pritchard recently said he
thought there was wisdom enough in
the Republican party to settle this
silver question properly; but in this
last letter he doesn't want to make a
straight silver fight, and he is afraid
to make straight gold bug (Republi-
CAM fight. This reduces him to the
position of q straddle-bug, and as to
this attitude we have to say, down all
such temporizing tactics.

is needed on this side of the line.

CITY ATTORNEYS ARGUMENT.

When the city attorney in his argu.
ment against the proposed fire and po-
lice commissioners bill urged the con-
stitutional provision respecting special
commissions, ETC., he must have been
sorely pressed for argument. The con-
stitutional provision says:
Section 20. The legislature shall not
DELEGATE to any special commission.
private corporation or association, any
powers to make. supervise or interfere
with any municipal improvement,
money, property or effects. whether
held in trust or otherwise, to levy
taxes, to select a capitol site or to per-
form any municipal functions.
The first section of the proposed bill
reads:
That there shall be appointed in all
cities of 1900 or more inhabitants, a
board of police and fire commissioners,
consisting Of four persons" etc.
The very fact that the proposed leg
islation is of a general character. and
is to apply to all cities above a certain
population takes away from it the in
habited character of special legisla-
ton. The legislature is prohibited by
the constitution from enacting special
laws granting divorce, but it would
scarcely be commended even by the city
attorney that the legislature cannot
enact a general law respecting the sub
ject of divorce The legislature is
prohibited from enacting private or
special laws furnishing crimes and
misdemeanors," but even the city at
torney would not contend that the leg
islature is therefore prohibited from
enacting OF adopting a criminal code.
And so with some eighteen items speci-
fed in respect to which the legislature
is prohibited from enacting special
laws. the desire being to have these
subjects covered by general legisla-
ton. The constitutional doctrine be-
ing that TN all cases where a general
law can be applicable, no special law
shall be enacted"

THE DAVIS DOCTRINE REruD1ArED

It cannot but be a matter of con-
graduation to all conservative Ameri-
cans that President Cleveland has re-
pudiated the doctrine of the Davis res
olution. A washington special to the
New York World says the president
has authorized Senator Smith of New
Jersey to make public his opinion on
the Davis resolution reported by the
senate committee on foreign relations.
1t is said that he regards the Davis
resolution as "mischievous. inoppor-
tune and unfortunate" Furthermore,
it is alleged he believes the policy
adopted by the senate committee as
striking at the principle of arbitration.
1t not only does that, but it strikes at
the independence of every government
on the American continent.
AS this reputation Of the Davis
doctrine may become somewhat Of a
party question, it is well to reproduce
it as it came from the senate commit
tee on foreign relations:
Resolved, That the United States of
America reaffirm and confirm the doc
trines and principles thus promulgated
by President Monroe, and now declare

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

According to a dispatch from st.
Petersburg published in yesterdays
Herald, it would seem that Russia has
entered upon rivalry with Great
Britain in the matter of building and
supporting navy. The dispatch re

vides that the navy for the next seven
years is to have a total of 4O4 600. 900

plications. 1t prepares the way for an
easy belief in the dispatches this
morning to the effect that Russia had
formed an alliance. offensive and de-
fensive, with Turkey; and further con-
firms the conjectures that have been
rife of late that the destination of the
flying squadron is in the direction of
the Dardanells.
There can be no doubt but what the
immense appropriation for her navy
by Russia is meant for a reply to
EngIand's flying squadron demonstra-
ton; and if the rumors of the Russian
Turkish treaty shall prove true, it in
dicates that Turkey has resolved to
trust Russian rather than English pro
lection for the future, and if so, it
means new adjustment of things in
Europe and Western Asia, either by
war of diplomacy, with every chance
of the former being the means of ar
bitrament.

REED NOT ron FREE COINAGE.

Certainly one of the most prominent
Republican candidates for the presi-
dental nomination in the country is
Speaker Reed. Without making in
vidious comparisons the only other
candidates who seem to be of anything
like the same stature as ne are ex-
President Harrison and Major McKin-
ley. AS it is not at all impossible that
he may be the Republican standard
bearer in this summers campaign, his
views on the silver question are mat
ter of much interest to the people of
the west Mr.. Reeds views on this
subject have not been announced by
him, but are to be learned from his
friends and supporters Such a one
Hampshire
In a recent letter to the Boston
Journal, Senator Chandler said:
On the money question, where Re
publicans differ. Mr.. Reed stands with
the great majority of his party He is
not willing at this time to agree to the
unlimited coinage of silver at the pres
ent ratio, by the United States alone;
but he is opposed to the gold mono
metallism Of Cleveland and Carlisle,
and in favor of Republican bimetal-
lism, to be secured by the most feast
bic means and with the least possible
delay, so that gold and silver, admitted
to unlimited coinage at an agreed ratio,
shall together constitute the standard
money of the world, and the universal
measure of The worlds values.
Where, then, does Mr. Reed stand
on the silver question?
With the great majority of his
party"
Is he in favor of the independent free
coinage of silver by the United States?
He is not willing at this time to
agree to the unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio by the United
States alone. And in this he stands
with the great majority of his party"
Mr.. Reed is in favor of bimetallism
certainly, but universal bimetallism,
the initiatory step to establish which
is to be taken by the nations of the
earth. That is Republican bimetallism,
and Senator Chandler says that Tom
Reed is lin favor of Republican BIZ
metallism, to be secured by the most
feasible means and with the least pos
sible delay, so that gold and silver,
admitted to unlimited coinage at an
agreed ratio, shall together constitute
the standard money of the world, and
the universal measure of the worlds
values"
Not much prospect for free silver in
that, is there?
Mr.. Reed will scarcely be an accept
able candidate to western Republicans
who favor free coinage. How true are
Senator John P. Jones words: There
is no hope for silver in the Republican
party"
