HOW THEY KILLED 1T.
spicy Debate in the senate in Which
Democrats Played the Trump
Hand.

The eastern newspapers of the 2eth in
stant are full of New Mexico and the
victory which Democratic members scored
ia the senate on Friday when the Catron-
Elkins political scheme eor changing the
Sessions of the legislature was so fully
exposed. Speaking of tho amendment
the St. Louis Republic says:
This WAS politics, pure and simple. 1t
was sneaked into the bill in the house by
Catron, of New Mexico, and was the joint
work Of Catron and Steve Elkins, who
are working together as harmoniously in
congress at present as they formerly did
to fleece the natives Of New Mexico. The
object of this proviso is apparent to any
body who would think twice overit. The
Republicans expect to elect their candi-
date for president NJ xt fall, and they aim,
of course, to have Republican governor
and secretary of state in New Mexico
soon after the 4th of March next. Wheth-
er this expectation of theirs will bear
fruit remains to be determined.
Senator Hill, of New York, always
quick to see the points in practical poli-
tics, denounced the proviso and moved
to strike it out of the bill. Incidentally,
he gave Steve Elkins a good, hot roast
ing for such low trickery.
Delegate Catron was in the senate by
the side of Steve Elkins, and the Repub-
icens imme diately made fight to keep
the proyiso in the bill. Senator Carter,
of Montana, made savage assault on the
secretary of state of New Mexico. and
Eikins fre quently sneered at Gov. Thorn.
ton.
Senators Cockrell and Daniel Joined
with Senator Hill in denouncing the Re-
publican trick, and Senator German gave
notice that the Democrats would fight the
provision to the last ditch unless the Re
publicans consented to strike it out OF
the bill.
There was some sharp talk between
Hill and Elkins and Hill and Cullom, and
Hill had the sharpest things to say and
said them better than the other fellows.
He even made Steve Elkins Vince under
biting sarcasm.
II was Gorman's threat to talk indef.
initely against the bill. however, tina,
caused some Of the Republicans to re-
treat from their position and vote with
the Democrats to strike from the bill the
obnoxious paragraph, which, 40 Hill
truly observed, was "sneaked" into II.

CHEAP DOLLARS FOR KANSAS.

Chicago Times-Herad; The constitution
of the United States does not prohibit the
legislature of Kansas from legali2tng Mexi-
can dollars. II does not prohibit the Kan
sas legislature from making a monumental
ass of itself. If it did 1t would make no
difference to the legislature Of Kansas. That
august body does not sit up at night worry
ing about the constitution or the laws Of
nature. IL defes them both.
Sioux City Journal; 1t seems that the
question whether a state can make legal
tender anything not authorized by the federal
government may be raised If the Kansas
populsts attempt TO secure free silver money
by passing a law making the Mexican dollar
a legal tender in the Sunnower state. If
the attempt is made 1t would be almost
too bad to spoil the scheme by national in
terference for doubtless all the populists
would az once flock to Kansas to secure
the benefits OF the cheap money, and Kansas
would again boom-for a few weeks. So
would some of the other states the populists
would leave.
of Kansas was needed to illustrate before
the American people the evils of degraded
money system, of false legislation in regard
to honest debts and of reputation with or
without the forms of law. Kansas should
have been a great, solvent, exemplary state.
With wise financial legislation its immense
territory and resources would have been
the founda ton of its greatness. Kansas has
not been despoled and impoverished by capi-
talists and usurers from whom money has
been borrowed to be used in public and
farm improvements. 1t has been wrecked
as a state by the devices adopted to defeat
the honest collection of debts.
Buffalo Express Kansas populists pro-
pose to enact a law in the legislature ol
their state reNt winter making Mexican
silver dollars a legal tender in Kansas.
They argue that the United States constitu-
tion merely fCrbds states to make anything
but silver coins a legal tender in payment
Of debts. Hence they think the scheme
would be constitutional. Another section
Of the institution, however, gives to con
gress the sole right to regulate the value
Of foreign coins. The Kansas populists,
therefore, could not make Mexican dollars
legal tender at their nominal value, and
there coul. be no purpose in making them
legal tender at their true value.

Hastings, either by himself or through
his employees. had willfully detained a
large number OF newspapers directed
To patrons of the Ilasting postotlicc.
when It was his sworn duty
to have them promptly delivered. The
ferred from the fact that the post
master was an ardent supporter Of
Bryan and the papers held back from
delivery were copies of The Omaha
Weekly Bee. The first knowledge the
publishers of The Bee had concerning
the lawlcss detention of these papers
was through an inspector of the Post
office department, hence the intimation
that the action against the Hastings
postmaster was instigated by The Bee
is absolutely baselcsS. But even If
such action had been taken by this
paper, it would have been iustitiable.
What right has any postmaster to hold
back legitimate mail matter on which
postage has been prepaid? What right
has any postmaster to contiscate or
throw aside any newspaper because it's
own political views or sentiments?
If there has been any conspiracy In
the Hastings postotiice case it was the
conspiracy to prevent the free and un-
trammeled distribution of mail matter
to parties to whom it was addressed.

ONE LONESOME WINNER.
Coin Harvey the Only Free Silver
Beneficiary.

The really conspicuous feature of the
aftermath of the late free silver unpleasant
ness is the plutocratc compacency of the
individual known SIS Coin Harvey. He ap-
pears to be about the only person mixed up
in that fantastic tangle who has come out
OF it better off than when he went in For
him 1t appears to have been simply a fnan-
cial speculation that proved extremely prof
table. He got out his little book entitled
Coins Financial SCHOOL, about two years
ago, and a wilder or more preposterous pub
lication was never put in type; certainly
nothing so grotesque on the monetary ques-
tion had ever been offered to the people as q
serious treatise. With the shrewdness of an
experienced confidence man, however, he
set forth his absurd fallacies so deftly that
the work bore an air of plausibiity that car
ried conviction to simple people who were
not able to discern the misstatements OF
facts and the bad reasoning. 1t seems in
credible, yet it is true, that he really per-
suaded many persons that so cents worth OF
silver could be coined into a dollar and 1g0
cents worth of gold could be coined into
dollar. and that these two dollars would
circulate side by side, the cheap coin being
accepted as the equal of the other.
Hundreds of thousands Of copies of the
book were sold, and ii was so catchy and
cXorted such a potent influence on the peo-
pie who were deceived by Its picturesque
and clouded falsities that ne was able to
capture the democratic party and induce II
to incOrporate,5hss ridiculous ideas in the
Chicago platform. He also brought enough
influence to bear on the popullsts to per
guade them to draw back somewhat from
their advanced position and adopt his 16 to
l lunRCy.
Harvey, however, Is not much OF talker,
and In casting about for a man TO push his
theories hit on Bryan, who appeared TO be
the gabbicst man on the political horizon.
Bryan accordingly started out on his wan
derlngs, shouting 10 to /" wherever as
many as score Of men would listen to him
while Harvey attended strictly 10 business
and pocketei the cash. Evidently he got
''all kinds OF money" in the flood OF wealth
that poured into his Golfers, for when he was
deluded himself into thinking there was a
chance for his wild theories TO win he made
a mighty scramble to convert his money
into gold SO that he could have dollars
which according TO Altgeld are worth 200
cents apiece. when the inevitable smashup
should come after Bryan's election
But Haryey's fears were not realized.
