tariff battle, derives its stubborn seriousness from the very fact that the men on both sipds are, with unimportant exceptions, sincere and honest. If the silver men were indeed to any great extent "blatherskites, intentional "repu- diationists, or dangerous ian archists, the country would be in no danger from their doctrines. It is only when good men hold tenaciously to erroneous views that there IS serious danger that such views will prevail. The be- lief which four-6fths of the dele gates to the Republican conven- tion at St. Louis professed, to the welfare of all classes in our coun- try--capitalist and wage-earner, farmer and banker alike-required the maintenance of the existing gold standard, was ana is an hon. est judgment, totally uninfuenced by an alleged conspiracy of insti- tutions or personages known as the money power On the other hand, the opinion expressed by more than two-thirds of the Democratic convention at Chica- go in favor of removing all restric- tions from the coinage and the monetary efficiency of the famil- far silver dollar, represents con- viction as sincere as it is passion ate and intense. The Eastern bankers, university professors, and gold-standard editors who call Mir. Bryan "blatherskite, , and place all the silver leaders of the West and South in the general category of anarchists and demagogues, are in turn making the situation more difficult by their mischievous folly. It is not merely question of good manners or kindly for bearance. It is rather a question of the only means by which the better reason can be made to pre- vail over the worse.-From "The Progress of the World, in August Review of Reviews.

THE SITUATION IN NEBRASKA.

Governor HoIeomb Makes an Estimate
 of Bryan's Vote In November.
 LINCOLN, Neb., July Ex-Governor Holcomb was on duty Tuesday looking in good spirits and feeling somewhat physically rested since his trip to the Peoples party convention at St. Louis He said he believed MT. Bryan would accept the Populist nomination. and as he had lately held a lengthy interview with him, the governors opinion is worthy of a great deal of weight The mudd1e over the vice president, he said, would be settled by fusion in the differ ent states, Sewall and Watson to take their chances in the electoral college
 In Nebraska the governor said there would certainly be fusion and fusionists would carry the state. He figures that under normal conditions there will be 10000 votes polled in Nebraska this year. He divides these; Republicans, S5,000; Populists, 75,000; all kinds of Democrats, 95 ,000, and Prohibitionists 5000. Of this vote tho governor believes Bryan will receive all but 5000 OF 5000 of the Democratic votes, all of the Pop ulist votes, and a majority of the Pro- hibitionists. He figures also that from 10 to 121s per cent of the Republicans will bolt MoKinley. On reoapitulation he believes Bryan will receive no, ,000 of 100000 votes cast in Nebraska this year

 Gold Reserve Intact.
FORM A STRONG COMBINATION.

They Wnl Control Things In snch
 Way That the Exportati0n of Goid
 Will Be Expensive-Fheir scnems
 Win Be Carried Out For Two Months
 or Longer.
 NEW YORK, July 29.-Referring to the plan to check gold exports devised by the committee of foreign bankers and unanimously agreed to by the members of that committee, The Herald says
 1.-The attitude of the bankers toward their customers, it is said, will be to simply assure them that there will be an abundant supply of bills in the mar ket at low rates. Through discounting their own paper and establishing credit abroad to draw against, the interna- tional houses will be able to keep the exchage rates at a figure that will make gold exportation an expensive tFansac- tion.
 Although officials of the banks who deposited with the subsreasury to re- store the reserve disclaim any connec' tion with the foreign bankers, it is gen. orally admitted that the success Of the one was made dependent upon the ac. tion of the others. Many of the bank presidents would not have parted with their gold had they not been assured that the foreign houses would arrange some plan whereby the metal might be retained in the country. They saw no use of paying into the treasury If it was to be as promptly withdrawn and iR consequence the foreign bankers action was . necessity.
 .There has been considerable discus sion as to the amount of exchange that will be necessary to tide over the inter- val of depression resulting from the agi- tation of the election. It may be S16,- COG, ,000 and it may be aud probably will be more
 While the period that it is consid- cred necessary to make provision for IS set down at 50 days, it is understood that if the supply of cotton and grain bills in the market be not sufficient to adjust affairs within that time then the pool will continue in operation for 8 longer period. The intention is to off set any sudden panic which may follow the blathering of demagogues during the campaign.
 ssThe workings of the syndicate will, of course, entail ineonyenienees upon individual members and possibly to some loss of profits. The latter, it is said, will be borne pro rata among the members. The firms that manage the pool or, as it will be called, the Clear inghouse Exchange, are J. P Morgan & Co.,, August Belmont & Co.,, L. Von Hoffman 8 Co.,, Kahn, Loeb 65 Go. and Lazari Freres. The Brooklyn banks will fall into line at once in the effort Co maintain the reserve inaugurated by the New York banks and joined in by Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. The movement seems, therefore, to be in- fectious, and no doubt now remains as to it's success and the wisdom of the movement "
