dicted to the use and even abuse Of
cigarettes, Grand Duchess Vladimir
being conspicuous among the number.
The widowed czarina, like her sisters,
the princess of Wales and the duchess
of Cumberland, never favored the use
of tobacco by ladies, but in spite Of all
the influence which she welded over
her husband, Alexander III, she did
not venture openly to object to it on the
part of the members of her court. That
the young empress should have the
courage to do so constitutes proof not
only that her influence over her hus-
band is Of predominant nature, but
also that she will not hesitate to use ii
for the execution of her ideas, irrespec-
tive of any prejudices or obstacles that
she may encounter.
There is only one other sovereign in
Europe who manifests a similar aver
sion to- tobacco, namely, Queen Vic
toria, who has been known to cause her
private secretary, the late Gen. Sir
Henry Ponsonby, to address letters to
her various cabinet ministers complain
ing of the aroma of tobacco with which
the official documents and state papers
submitted for signature were impreg-
mated. The prince of Wales is always
miserable when he stays at Windsor
with his mother, on account of his not
being permitted to smoke, and the one
reason why he leases a mansion every
summer at Ascot for the race week at
an expense of $780, 900 or $sO,o 900 merely
for the few days is that her majesty
declines to permit him to use the castle
for the time unless he promises that
there shall be no smoking ON the part
Of himself. his friends or his attend
ants.

srnpIe Question for Silver Leaders.
Who would be benefited by adultera-
ton of the currency? Not the farmers.
They could not be better off If they got
two 50-cent dollars where they get now
one 100-cent dollar, and that is the ut
most Tillman would be able to give
them. But the fearful contraction Of
the currency caused by collapse of
standard money to the 50-cent cheap
silver standard would create such hard
times that for years workingmen would
get hardly more 5o-cent dollars than
they get now 100-cent dollars. How
would that benefit them? Neither Alt
geld nor Tillman has ever explained
this simple Chicago Tribune.

Another Nightmare,

One of the terrOrS which the near fu
ture holds for the generation who carry
their entire stock of patriotism in theii
individual pockets is that in the event
of Bryan's election and the inaugural
ton of free coinage gold may 30 to Il
premium over silver.
WHY this should alright the single
standard advocates is not clear to any
body who has eyes to see the condition
of the United States at this time. AS
gold has gone up in purchasing power

down in price. The value of property

molities. why should it be intolerable
to think of it being at Il premium over

Silver bullion, measured in gold. has

metal. Indeed it is a very suggestive
fact that silver has kept close company
with the neceSSarics of life i'll the down
ward race. Wheat and silver touched
their lowest point together. Wheat is
as useful to mankind as ever it was,
and its fall in the worlds markets is
not due TO over-production. Since

L0nEinD to N0Y. 8.

Although there still remain a few
weeks of the Presidential campaign,
the lines are divided so clearly all over
the country, that the indications of the
result are already becoming apparent.
The Republican managers have ap-
parently recognized that the demand
for free silver is firmly fixed with the
agricultural element. This is shown
by the fact that they have practically
abandoned campaigning in the rural
districts. and are concentrating all their
efforts upon the big cities. thus hoping
to make UP what they lose from the
farming vote.
But the Republican campaign has
been failure from the start. 1t has
been parade of the mOneyed interests
and the men of millions and the nat
ural result has been to open the eyes
of labor, and to make the workingman
recognize that those who have for
years been depressing him, are now
united for Mckinley. This is so appar-
ent that organized labor everywhere

Another feature which has seriously
crippled the Republican candidate is
his evasion of the financial issue. and

This Ticket to Be Withdrawn Just Be-
fore Election Day.
The gold Democratic ticket, the decoy
ticket of Palmer and Buckner, is to be
withdrawn in favor of Mckinley just
before election. and it is expected to
throw CONSERVATION in the silver camp
by the action. The scheme was made
man in a position to know, and he
broached it to Il friend who is an un-
questioned authority. 1t came up in Il
conversation in Il hotel over election
probabilities. One of them was gen.
tleman known all over Michigan who
has been announced all over the State
as being bOlter from the Chicago plat
form, and n well-knoWn politician from
Detroit. who stands very close to Joe
Manley of Maine.
They were talking of the probabilities
of Michigan going for Bryan and gen
eral chances of election and the Demo-
crat stated his belief that the gold Dem
ocrat ticket would be of material bene-
fit to Bryan. for, while it would not
poll many votes it would cut just
enough figure in close States like Nichi-
gan to give Bryan the electoral vote.
The Detroiter only laughed, and he con-
fidentially stated that there will be no
gold Democratic ticket in the field on
election day
But what do they intend to do with
it, was asked.
why, it was all understood before it
was put up" answered the Detroiter,
and he mentioned as his authority the
man who is reputed to stand closer than
any other man in the United States to
President Cleveland.
I'VE know very well that the thing is
getting close. and that every vote will
be needed to knock out this silver craze,
and nobody knows this better than the
President and his friends
But how can the Democrats stomach
McKinley's protection ideas?' was
asked.
"Oh, that is all understood was the
answer. Mckinley is only Il figure
head in this business, anyway, and the
real protection power in Congress is
Tom Reed. There is no possibility Of
disturbing the tariff for two years, any
way, and Reed has promised that there
will be no tariff tinkering under Me

Gold Is Coming Back.

This time last year when the banks
and the big New York syndicate were
trying to force issues of bonds, the pa
pers were filed every day with stories
of millions of gold going abroad. But
now when the gold SPECTATORS are
frightened by the issue. which their
greed has forced to the front, we hear
of millions of gold returning.
Certainly there can be no business in
ducement for the shipment Of gold
from Europe to America, and if any is
coming. and this is very doubtful. it Is
an English effort to bolster up McKin-
ley's chances until after the election.
If gold is coming back there is polit-
zeal reason backing its return. Indeed,
England is only lending it TO American
parties to help fasten the iniquitous
gold standard on this country.
