The Old Engine Gayly Decorated
in Honor of the Oc-
CaSlOn.
COMMODORE sLoAT EULoGIzED
In the Afternoon the Old Firemen
Gave Their Friends Hearty
Reception.

The Exempt Firemen held an enthusi-
astic celebration yesterday in commemo-
ration of the iftieth anniversary of the
raising of "Old Glory" in this City. On
the same spot in the old plaza and at
approximately the same time of day the
ceremony of floating the stars and stripes
to the breeze was repeated yesterday to
the delight of the fremen, Mexican War
Veterans and Pioneers.
Most of the gradually diminishing num-
Der of representatives of pioneer DAYS wit
messed yesterdays ceremonies. The sur
viTing 100 members of the Exempt Com
pany, which once numbered over 1000
members. turned out in their old brown
uniforms, admiringIy exhibited the old
engine to visiting friends and talked over
the days OF old.
Shor tly before noon the detachment of
sailors and marines from the Philadelphia
assembled with its band on the plaza, and
two Hotchkiss guns, one on either side of
the hagpole, were placed in position.
About five minutes to II the process
sion was formed, headed by the Exempts
under the leadership of President George
7. Bohen. Following came the invited
guests composed of City officials and promi-
nent citizens, and also the Veterans of the
Mexican War, led by Major Sherman.
The Exempts, proudly wearing their old
brown uniforms, formed circle about the
company's flagstaff. while the others
formed in a double line toward the south.
The sailors from the Philadelphia, some
200 strong, presented a pretty sight in
their white uniforms, set off by blue sailor
collars and brown leggings. They con-
trasted with the bright red uniforms OF the
Philadelphia's band.
Half a minute before the noon hour the
order was given to stand at attention. One
of the crew of the Philadelphia stood bv
the flagstaff with his hand upon the rope
that should loosen the little bundle at the
top of the pole. AT the first tap OF the
big bell on BRENNAN place, the signal
was given to unfurl. AS the sailor at the
rope pulled away the flag futtered forth
beautifully. Gradually it opened out in
the almost imperceptible breeze, almost as
a lady's fan would open, until it floated
forth at full length. As the flag unfurled
the band struck up the "Star Spangled
Banner" and all the assembly saluted the
flag with uncovered heads, the Exempts
saluting in true military fashion. Then
the guns began to blaze away alternately.
until the National salute of twenty-one
guns had been completed. Three cheers
and tiger, given by the Exempts with
old-time vim. concluded the exercises IN
the plaza.
A general reunion followed during the
short interim between the ceremonies and
the speeches. Gray-haired old firemen
nailed each other Familiarity as Jack" or
'Bill'' and fondly talked of the old days

VETERANS ARE PLEASED.
Thank the Exempt Firemen for the
Generous and Cordial Reception
Accorded Them.

The Veterans of the Mexican War met
last evening at their hall, % O'Farrell
street. Ali the members were highly
pleased at the success of the celebrations
at Monterey and yesterday at the plaza.
Inc hrst suggestion of having such cele-
oration was made at meeting OF the Vet
Grams almost year and half ago. and it
was through the efforts of individual
members of the association that enthusi-
asm was aroused in the matter.
Major Sherman especially has been very
active in bringing about the celebration,
ana besides giving much of his time has
expended money in the cause. Last night
resolutions thanking Major Sherman for

SEVERAL NEW METAPHORS.
Bryan VIII Turn Them Loose I'm His
New York Speech.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 4.-When w.
j. Bryan leaves for New York next
Friday evening, he will carry with him
draft Of the speech which he intends
to use before the notification commit
tee in Madison Square Garden. He has
devoted considerable time to it already,
but will put a few finishing touches
before it can be declared complete. 1t
will occupy between one hour and an
hour and half in delivery and will
discuss the Chicago platform in de-
tail, and give his Interpretation there
of. He is especially indignant at the
charge that he, and those who stand
with him on the Chicago platform, are
to be classed as anarchists or that
they aim to break down any Of the
laws of the country. Mr.. Bryan had
something to say about the charge in
his Omaha speech at the time of the
reception to him in that city. In his
the idea and roundly denounce the ac-
cusation. Those who have been taken
into his confidence say that this speech
of Mr.. Bryan will astonish the country,
and that 1t contains a number Of new
and pleasing metaphors never before
used on any stage, and which have
nothing in common with crowns of
thorns" or crosses of gold" 1t is I'M
derstood that Hon. Richard P. Bland,
who will be in Lincoln at the time of
Mr.. Bryan's departure, will accompany
him to New York, appear with him in
Madison Square and make a speech.
1t is said that Mr.. Bryan will make no
set speeches along the route, but will
indulge in informal talks to the people
from the rear platform of coaches.

OF all the logical fallacies that lie at

that silver would forthwith advance in
the market to a $1.29 per ounce is least
warranted by facts, or by the results
of past experience.

ANSWERS ITSELF.

We do not think it necessary to re-
ply at any length to the communi-
cation published elsewhere on "The
price of silver bullion under free coin
age" To careful reader it will carry
with 1t its own reply and REPUTATION.
The writer, who is thoroughly in earn
est and who, we doubt not, means to
be fair, confuses two exceedingly diff
ferent things. He quotes the Clio b e
as saying that under free coinage the
mine owners could force their product
upon their debtors under a legal tender
act in payment of obligations at the
rate of $1.29 per ounce. This is true
little further on, however, he glides
gently into a very different statement.
namely. that under free coinage silver
will be worth $1.29 an ounce" These
two propositions may seem the same
to him, or he may have been deceived
by mere verbal similarity; but one by
no means follows from the other. That
silver bullion, as a whole, would rise
under free coinage to $1.29 per ounce,
think that the contrary is as well
demonstrated as any fact which :.es
in the future can be- The Glob e
has already shown how, under the op-
Grafton of the Sherman purchase act.
in 1890, which absorbed practically the
entire product of this country, the
market price of bullion went on fall
Ing. We presume that, under free COIN
age, the price of silver would rise
somewhat above it's present value. Just
now lar, no one can say in advance.
But that the vast stocks of the metal
already on hand and the stimulated adj
I ditions to production could be doubled
in value, although not obtaining ac-
cess to the minis, by reason Of the In
sufficient facilities for coinage, is more
than improbable. The advantage of
the bullion producer would lie In the
fact that he could get his silver coin
and then pay debts with it at the rate
OF $1.29 per ounce. He could do that
just the same If the price Of silver
bullion remained in the market at SO
cents per ounce. The injustice of IT
where the creditor is concerned is
clearly apparent
To use another illustration, congress
might pass law enacting that all
bricklayers and carpenters employed
on federal buildings throughout the
country should receive $40 per day In
wages. They would then, unquestion-
ably, get So 1t would be so much ad-
ditional in their pockets, but 1t would
be taken out of the pockets of the tax
payers. 1t would create an artificial
distinction between them and other
workingmen similarly engaged under
private employers. but it would not
raise the wages of bricklayers and car
penters not engaged by the govern
ment to $40 per day. or advance them
perceptibly over the current market
rate. 1t would be as unjust to say.
in such a case. that the wage rate in
those empioyments was $40 per diem,

CONCERNING REGULARITY.

1t has been beautiful and instructive
to observe the agonies of those Demo-
Gratis who have made up their minds
to support Bryan and Sewall and the
Chicago platform when they brought
themselves to contemplate the party
irregularity of their old associates who
had made up their minds, on the con-
trary, not to do anything of the kind
The iniquity of Democrat who would
not vote for candidate labeled Dem
crat passed their comprehension
The crowning crime of all, however. in
their estimation. was that a refusal to
stand by the work Of the Chicago con-
vention might possibly assist in the
election of Republicans to office. That
was the unthinkable and unforgivable
sin. Nobody, they have told us round
~ and repeatedly, had any right to use
the name of Democrat who would so
far forget the duties that 1t implies
as to give aid and comfort to those
in the Republican fold.

these sticklcrs for regularity. the av-
e.age Democrat rubs his eyes TO see if

Democratic than under Republican
rule. Democratic principles, where
ever we get back to them, lie at the
foundation of good government
Neither has the G o b e any hesita-
ton about saying that a fusion be-
tween political parties is generally to
be condemned. If they stand for the
same ideas, one party will do. If they
represent different ideas, then they can
come together only at some sacrifice
of principle; and the predominant mo-
tive must always be in such cases a
division of the places in the gift of the
people. Fusion, as the past has proved,
as the future will prove again, Is not
an element of strength. And as to is
sues, free silver has no more to do
with state election In Minnesota or
with the administration of the states
affairs than has the opinion of the gov
ernor-elect upon infant damnation or
upon the authorship of the Shake
speare plays. Aside from this plank, the
platform speaks well and boldly for the
people; though we should have pre-
ferred to find it's declarations less gen.
eral and more specific. In the sin
gular contest now opened, and espe-
cially after the demonstration against
the sound money Democrats, every
voter will exercise the liberty of indi-
vidual choice in his selection of candi-
dates for the various offices. Consider
ing the blending of parties, the DELHI
crate Encouragement of states on
both sides, and the utter disregard of
party lines exhibited by candidates
and convention, party ties will sit
loosely and each man can follow his
conscience

A HYBRID TICKET.
What N Correspondent Thinks of
Yesterdays Work.

To the Editor of the Globe.
1 see by this mornings o Re that
a hybrid political junta, which met in Mime
apolis, has prepared a state ticket and they
demand of the Democratic convention that
they put 1t in nomination.
This ticket is headed by John Lind, who is
now and always has been Republican dyed
in the wool. His lieutenant is a voluble
Populist political knight Grant, whose fierce
diatribes directed against the Democratic
party distinguished him among the stump
orators Of the campaign OF 1894 in the third
district.
We have heard good deal about machine
politics in connection with Cloughs nomina-
ton, and much Of it was true. But the
Clough machine was Republican machine,
operated by Republican politicians to serve,
at least, the ends of the Republican party.
And the Clough machine, corrupt and tyran-
meal as 1t may have been. did not have the
brazen effrontry to publicly announce a deal
by which all the state officers were to be
parceled out and a congressional district
jockeyed into nominating a man whom no
one has any means of knowing to be accept
able to its electors. 1t at least made q
show of allowing the people to have a voice
in the selection of their candidates. If they
indeed exercised but the shadow and not the
substance of their electoral rights, at least the
men forced upon them had for years been
consistent Republicans.
Nothing of the sort can be said of the nom
sense insisted upon by the conspirators of the
Minneapolis cabal. The men they have Sc
lected are not Democrats. They are not Pop
uIists. They are bound together by no polit-
ical principles and have no end to- serve
It is said that they favor free silver. but the
silver question is not and can not in the
nature OF things be made an issue in state
campaign. The state government can have
nothing to do with currency question.
What. then, ii not the desire to hold Of
fees. can have induced Lind, the Republican
Of New Ulm. Peck, the Democrat of Shakopee,
and Bowler the some time Populist. of Rem
vile, to stand together on a common plat
form? Wfss sort of Democratic platform
will it be that they can stand together on?
One may indeed, despair of a Democratic
party which, in convention assembled. win put
forward such a CONSCIOUSNESS, hermaphrodite
political aggregation as that we are told has
been decided upon by the nameless. ill-con-
structed un-oiled and rickety Minneapolis
machine. John Lawson.

ATLANTA, Ga. Aug. Attachments
made by the leaders Of the Peoples
party who are assembled here for the
state convention show that Senator
Jones interview which the Southern
Populists consider reputation Of
themselves, has completely changed
the situation. The Peoples party lead
ers now here say that the state conven-
ton will indorse the ST. Louis platform,
and Watson's nomination, but will cali
for the nomination Of Populist in
place of Bryan. On national affairs,
the platform will probably indorse the
st. Louis platform, deprecate the fact
that the Peoples party has not been
met in the same spirit as it displayed
towards the Democrats in the nomina-
ton of Bryan, and call upon the ma
tional committee to put out straight
out Populist candidate for president.
On state questions, it will declare for

NOTHING TO OEEEn

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. At can be
announced authoritatively that the
present Democratic state committee will
not consider any proposition from the
Fopuiist state committee to divide
electors in this state. INQUIRY at botr,
Populist and Democratic headquarters
shows that there Is no probability Of
the two parties coming together in
state or national affairs So far IA
can be learned, the Popullst committee
which was empowered to deal on the
question Of electors, has not fixed the
time for meeting. The Democratic
managers take the position that the
Populists haze nothing to offer in re-
turn for anything the Democrats might
consent to give.
