WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Hill has at last emerged from his
Sphinx-like silence.
In a letter to an acquaintance, dated
since the election, the New York sena-
tor declares that he saw the demo-
cratic party was fOredoomed to defeat
on the Chicago platform, which he
could not bring himself to actively or
openly support. Such being the case,
nothing was left for him to do but to
remain absolutely silent and inactive.

the way they themselves are willing
to 60, can easily retain his leadership,
for most people are willing that some
other than themselves should take
the trouble, responsibilities and glory
Of leadership-and. as Old Grimes
says, 1.-THE king himself has followed
me when I have walked BEFORE"
The point we want to bring out IN
these ideas is, that intelligent, honest
bosslsm Of parties is not a reproach to
either the ''boss" or the party, but
rather a benefit. On the other hand
any other kind of bossism will rarely
be tolerated by an intelligent follow.
ing. In other words every "boss''
great or small has "a string on him"
and he must keep within the limits
OF his tether. II the actions of the
boss are sanctioned by his constituen.
cy, then his acts become their acts.
and the shame of any wrong doing
they share with him. The boss can.
: not go far wrong unless his people are
with him. Let us then be willing to
give the bosses credit for the good
they do. as we'll as blame for the
wrong they are permitted to do.

COMING DOWN.

Next week is the state convention.
There is no doubt that it will be prac-
tically unanimous for Mckinley.
For Mr.. Hansbrough himself is now
for Mckinley. Late kilograms from
Devils Lake announce that Mr.. Hans
brough is also willing that the con-
vention shall declare against free
silver. And, as most OF the rest of
the republicans of the state have felt
that way all the time, it will make
the thing pretty unanimous.
Mr.. Hansbrough's descent on the
political ladder during the last thlr-
ty DAYS has been certain and rapid,
albeit NOT very graceful. There's
still one more round, and next week
he is likely to get down on that.

"FlATn VALUE.

A gold dollar contains a little over
twenty-five grains standard weight.
Now If congress should pass a law
that, hereafter, the directors of the
mint should put fifty grains into a
coin and stamp it lone dollar" would
such coin pass current for its
stamped" "fiat" value? 1t is OBJ
vious that it would never pass as a
dollar beyond the first holder, for
with good hammer or bit Of fire
he could and would double the "face"
value of his coin. 1t is equally OBJ
vious that government could not con-
tinue for any length of time, in the
manufacture of such coins. Now, it
the fat Of the government won't
bring the value Of gold down, how can
that same fiat bring the value of sill
yer up? II coming double weighJ
gold dollars wouldn't make currency
that would be current. how can coin
ing half-weight silver coins make a
currency which would be accepted by
the people, at it's stamped value?
The stamp on the face Of a coin
fixes its current value SO long as that
current value approximates is intrin-
sic or market value; but as soon as
the government,stamped value differs
in any great degree from the real
value, then the government stamp is
ignored and the world places its own
value thereon.
All the governments of the earth
together, cannot make an ounce of
iron pass current for one dollar, ex-
cept that by promise on its face, or
somewhere else, they agree to ex-
change that ounce of iron for some
thing else that the whole world values
at dollar.

settled for the campaign and a solu-
tion Of some other things will be be-
gun. 1t Is very probable that many
candidates for state and congression-
al Offices will find much in next weeks
combinations to cheer or discompose
their aspirations, but in most cases
they will be more able to know
friends from enemies after the con-
vention is over, and from that know.
ledge be more able to snatch victory
from defeat thereafter.
Some things seem now to be GER
tain. 1t will be Mckinley conven-
tion, it will be an honest money con-
vention. II is likely to be favorable
to M. N. johnson to return to his
present position, and as likely to be
opposed to Senator Hansbrough. 1t
will probably be divided as to Cover
nor Allin, but this feeling will not be
SO pronounced as 1t would be If some
one, prominent candidate were up
against him. Many of the district
judges just now find the judicial
benches uneasy seats, and they will
read of the convention with consider.
able interest. OF course much of
these latter movements will not show
up on the minutes of the proceedings
,of the convention, but those who are
we'll enough acquainted will be able
to read between the lines.
However, while such things cannot
be entirely banished from such con-
vention, yet we. hope that none of
these. matters will be allowed to dis
turb the real business for which the
convention. assemblies, or that unity of
spirit and feeling in the party so
necessary for victory this fall.

TWO MILITANT AFRICAN POWERS
One Of the two native African pow-
ers is the ancient kingdom of Abys-
sinia,- ,-the Oldest, .fiercest. and most
effective organized element in the
vast population Of the dark continent,
and the other power is the empire
OF the Mahdi, the newest but none
the less the most formidable politico-
military organization to be found
anywhere to-day outside of Europe,
with the exception of japan and the
possible exception Of Abysstnia. 1t
has within a few days been stated by
Mr.. Curzon, the British Under-Secre.
tary for foreign affairs (who always
now speaks In the House of Commons
for the foreign departlnent,) that the
Mahdi and his dervishes represent q
fighting sorce of not less than 100000
men. The effective army of the Abys-
sinians,-not merely the force that
might in an emergency be put under
arms, but the force to-day actually in
the field under command of King
Menelek,-is said to be not less than
100, 900 men. supplied with late pat
terms Of repeating rifles. These two
forces,-one Of which (the Mahdi and
his men) represents the fiercest con.
ceivable revival in the Arab breast Of
Moslem fanaticism, while the other
(King Menelek and his vassal lords
and chieftains of the provinces) re-
presents people who, having espous-
ed Judaism in the times of King Solo.
