BEGGING THE QUESTION.
Some Interesting Free Silver Argu-
ments.
The Following Is Taken From the Den
YER News OF Recent Date.

Two OF the large New York dailies the
Herald and World, agree in the follow
ing assertion, which may be found on
the. editorial page OF the last Tuesdays
Herald.
Cumulative evidence that there is no
connection between the price OF silver
and the course OF farm products was
furnished Yesterday, Silver declined
to level which lowers the intrinsic
value OF the white dollar to fifty and
one half cents. while corn advanced
one. half cent bushel wheat cent
and cotton ten points.
The exception quoted only proves the
rule. There ronnection--a very strong
and continual connection-between the
price OF silver and the course OF farm
products. The special articles published
by the director of the mint in his report
for 1893 and 1884, admit and explain this
connection, and it is not denied by any
fair writer upon the ference in ex'
change, subject which Should be a

Bottled up" is the position in
which the New York Sun places Gen.
Weyler of the Spanish army. The
expression originated through Gen.
Grant, who declared Union General
as having been "bottled up in place
in Virginia. Weyler has been unable
to leave Havana. The patriot armies,
under Gomez and Maceo, have kept
him "bottled up" in Havana and be-
hind the breastworks surrounding
that city he sends out his press bulle-
tins of Spanish victories. Occasionally
he sends out number of troops un-
der the leadership of some other than
he. He is apparently afraid to lead a
Spanish army against Gomez and
Maceo, who would undoubtedly enjoy
a battle with the butcher-much more
enjoy capturing the pupil of Valma-
soda. The troops return defeated. If
Gomez and Maceo ever get sufficient
artillery at their command Weyler
will change his hiding place from be-
hind the barracks of Havana to a
place behind the barracks at BARGE
Iona, Cadiz, or Madrid, Spain. Then
will the single star red, white and blue
flag of freedom float over Cuba.
The Senate resolutions recognizing
Cuban belligerency passed the house
Monday by an overwhelming majority
and now awaits the signature of the
President.

followers do not want such a state of
affairs. They will probably use some
money to bring about that state Of
affairs. That there will be money
used on the other side is just as certain.
Mark Hanna has the barrel for the
Mckinley side and he will put it up
as quick as the politicians ON the other
side. The Fairmont Sentinel states
that even during the campaign in
Minnesota, which just ended in favor
of Mckinley, the followers of the lat

terially.
1t is possible, however, that at the
convention in St. Louis the Republi-
can voters will do the thing which
happens about one time out of fifty

Mckinley will be the nominee. Il
they don't the dark animal is more

without trade being effected where

the general good.

it had not been for it's statements,
which we're true, Mr.. Pugh would not

course, proposed to collect the tax if

NEW HAMPSHIRE. NIT!

The result of the Republican COG
vention in New Hampshire, wherein
Senator William E. Chandler was
practically rebuked for his anti-Mc-
Kinley sentiments, is another note of
warning to Messrs. Platt and Quay to
be careful how they manipulate the
wires against the Ohio man, William
Mckinley. New Hampshire is one of
the New England States, the almost
solid vote of which had practically
been pledged to Reed by the New
England Senators, Mr.. Chandler be-
ing one of them. The delegation
from New Hampshire was not in
structed but they are friendly to both
Reed and Mckinley, with fair lean
ing towards the Ohio protectionist
whom Tom Reed made by putting
him at the head of the ways and means
committee during the congress that
enacted the memorable Mckinley pro-
lection bill.
Of course, Messrs. Plat and Quay
are going to do their best to defeat
Mckinley. His nomination would
mean President entirely independent
of them and whose appointments
would not be dictated by the old line
manipu]ators. Those men and their

The delinquents this year have total

accorded to Remenyi on his appear

to tremendous wave of enthusiasm
after his spirited rendering of the
three movements of the GODDARD con-

that he was compelled to repeat the
canzonetta movement, give two more
encores after that, and then come out
and bow his acknowledgment half
dozen times before the audience could
be satisfied.

BILL NYE'S LAST WORK.

Unlike most prolific writer's who
have been cut off in their prime, the
late Edgar Wilson Nye did net leave
many unpublished manuscripts. He
left but one, comic history of Eng
land, work on which he had long
been engaged and which absorbed
his best efforts. It is unquestionably
the funniest as we'll as the most pre-
tentious thing Bill Nye ever wrote.
This quaint chronicle of the ancient
Brittons is fitting finale to the life
work of the foremost American
humorist.
The illustrations are especially at
tractive and greatly enhan 20 the hilar-
ity of the history. There are 60 of
them, SO single column and 10 double
column.
The history is arranged for publ
cation in eighteen installments of two
columns each. Each chapter makes
one installment. This work has new
er been printed and it is the last and
only unpublished work of the humor-
list.
The privilege of printing has been
sold to limited number of papers
and the copyright will be carefully
protected. The GAZETTE is one of the
number and the publication will start
April 18th or 23d.

How much man is like his shoes!
For instance, both a soul may lose
Both have been tanned; both are made tight
BY cobblers; both get left and right.
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet,
They both need heeling; oft are sold;
and both in time will turn to mold
With shoes, the last is first; with men,
The first shall be last; and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out, they're men dead too!
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing 10th.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now, would you choose
To be man, or be his shoes?

MKINLsY AND CIVIL SERVICE,
His Policy will he Wise aud Conservative
His Letter or Acceptance Recalled,

AA'N A<ettcf ttcCallcu.
Chicago Times-Herald (Rep.): Major
Mckinley's record on civil service re-
form has been one OF the principal
sources OF his strength as a candidate
for the suffrages of the people. His de-
Tense OF the application OF the merit sys-
TEN to the public service has been can
did, consistent and without equivocation.
In his public utterances, both In Con-
Sress and In private life, he has taken
advantage OF every favorable and pro-
per opportunity to commit himself to
wise and judicious extension OF the civil
service law to all branches Of the govern.
ment where proficiency and integrity
are the only essentials for proper dis
charge Of public trust
|. Major Mckinley has not changed his
attitude on this question. There Is every
reason to believe that under his admins
tration there will be no REIMBURSEMENT
of the the views that have given him
such popular acceptance with the people
who favor the gradual extinction OF the
spoils system. Those who entertain any
doubts as to the probable policy Of the
next President on this question should
read his letter of acceptance, which con-
tains the following explicit declarations:
THE pledge OF the Republican nation
al convention that our civil service laws
shall be sustained and thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended wher-
ever practicable Is in keeping with the
position of the party for the past twenty
four years and will be faithfully OBJ
served. Our opponents decry these re-
forms. They appear willing to abandon
all the advantages gained after so many
years agitation and effort They en-
courage return TO methods of party
favor!teism which both parties have Of
ten denounced. that experience has con-
denned and the people have repeatedly
dFapprovsd. The Republican party
earnestly opposes this reactionary and
entirely unsuitable policy. 1t will take
no BACKYARD step upon this question. 1t
will seek to improve but never degrade
tile public service"
There Is little encouragement in these
straightforward utterances for the
place hunteI-; who have hoped for par
tial suspension of the civil service regu-
lations that have been enlarged and en-
forced under President Cleveland. 1t Is
true that these extensions of the CLASH
fed service have subjected President
Cleveland TO adverse criticism from the
politicians because the extensions were
largely made during the latter part of
his term, but such criticism IS inevitable.
no matter when made and no matter I'M
der what administration. So long as
public sentiment is strongly massed be-
hind the civil service law the new ad-
ministratIon will be fully warranted in
not only maintaining regulations now in
force but In extending the application of
the law to fourth class postmasters and
to other departments of, the public SER
vice which are not yet entirely relieved
of the domination OF spoils iobbers.
