4 Lonesome Democrat .

An old democrat, in talk
ing to a correspondent of the
Courier Journal at Chicago,
sizes up the situation as fo.-
lows:
'Don't you feel sort of
lonely here? Blamed if l
don't. I feel sort of out of
place, so different from any
way / ever felt at a dem
ocratic convention. It used
to be that while we differed
as TO candidates, still we
were democrats and got along
together. This is all chang
ed now. This financial CUES
ton has played the deuce
with their old fraternal feel
ing. Now we are lined up
against each other and al
most ready at any time to
come to blows. Hang me,
if these free-silEer democrats
here don't think a great deal
more of a republican or a
populist than they do of a
sound-money democrat.
They invite them TO their
rooms and entertain them,

Sometime to Kn0W.

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired out nervous
system to healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centres in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing
off impurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite, aids
digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.

Silver COINAGE.

EDITORS BULLETIN The
writer will occupy a very
small space in answering his
financial friend. He gets
around his "fifty-two times
more" proposition by saying
that when coinage is referred
to it invariably means dollars.
This is a far-fetched inference
and wont hold water, as
halves, quarters and dimes
are very much in evidence;
however, if he meant dollars
he ought to have said so,
then the criticism would not
have been written.

TO our opinions unless they
favored the silver lunacY.
ALTHOUGH Presidc7t
Cleveland is in no way re-
sponsibIc for tho laws pas ed
that have increased the ex-
pense of the government, and
for the monetary system in
vogue, nevertheless the adj
ministration has been severe=
" condemned for F'issu-
ing bonds in time of
peace" by those claiming to
be democrats. During the
interval of President
Cieveland's first and second
administration the law impo-
sing tax on sugar, yielding
more than fifty millions dol
lars annually was repealed,
and a bounty which amount
ed to ten millions of dollars,
was granted to sugar grow
ers. In 1890, the receipts on
imports amounted to 1929. :
666, $50, but by 1894, when
the Mckinley law was in force
which imposed a tax on inn
porters to such an extent as
to prevent foreign manufac-
turers from competing as they
had with those of the Uni
ted States, it had fallen to
$131 ,818, $50. During the
period mentioned while the
revenue was decreasing, there
was a great increase in the
expenditures of the govern
ment. In 1890 the amount
paid the pensioned was $1O6, >
936, 855. In 1898 the total
amount paid pensioners was
$3.50, 357 ,558. In 1890 the
total expenditures of the gov
eminent amounted to $685.
61S, 5S5. In 1893 the tot il
expenditures was $3.50, 374, :
868, and for the present year
it will be about $517 100000.
In 1890 on recommendation
of Secretary Window, $3.50, :
900, 200 ofdemand notes were
issued for silver bullion,
: which added to the $35O,00O,-
900 fgreenbacks made $500,
100000 of demand notes
against the government.
Although the demand notes
were increased $3.50, 100000,
there was no increase in the
reserve fund created for the
redemption of the demand
notes. Such legislation re-
suited in our securities being
returned, and gold being
withdrawn from the treasury,
hence the necessity of the is
suance Of bonds by the pres
ent administration. The laws
mentioned were passed by a
republican administration
when President Cleveland
was a private citizen, yet an at
tempt has been made to make
him responsible for their eff
feet. In vetOing the Rivers
and Harbors bill, passed by
the senate with a free silver
majority, and carrying an
appropriation of about $75,-
600, and also in vetoing
many private pension bills,
President Cleveland has pro-
ven his averseness to reckless
2 legislation that would deplete
the treasury and increase the
burden of taxation. But
while Cleveland is beng
abused, for those free silver
senators who aided in the pas
sage of laws, which increased
the demand notes of the gov
eminent. and who voted for
the passage OF bills over the
, presidents veto that have
added millions of dollars to
, the expense of the govern
ment, there is no word of cen
sure. Truly, to favor Is to 1,
covers a multitude of sins.

not seem to be very much disappointed
when seen by the New York Journal cor

Freedman.
Asked If he would take steps to recover
the money which he claimed has been lille

his purpose, but he did not know exactly
how he would go about it until he received
the letter spoken Of in the telegram and
was fully advised of the boards action.
He seemed to think that the letter might
contain an intimation of some means of
settlement that would be both honora BILE

the possibilities. He was satisfied that he
could recover the money due him in court.

Milton C. Works Comments ON the
Recent Whist Congress.

Milton C. Works Comments ON the
Recent Whist Congress.
Milton c. Work. the team captain Of the
Hamilton Whist Club four of Philadelphia
at the recent whist congress, writes as
follows in the Evening Telegraph, of which
paper he is the whist editor: That the
success of the Hamilton team is popular
one with practically all the clubs in the
league is beyond question. 1t has long
been generally conceded that inasmuch as
the Hamilton team was strong one it was
unfortunate that it had never been able
to win it's own trophy. The result is fur
Their pleasing inasmuch as it is a triumph
for the Hamilton club in a congress where
the standard Of play was higher than ever
before, and Is a victory for the long suit
system.
In fact, the entire result Of the play at
| the congress emphasizes the advantages
OF the long suit game, and the only way
| the short suit writer's can avoid acknowl-
| edgfng this fact is to claim successful long
suit players as short suffers, manufacture
interviews, etc.
In the Hamilton trophy contest only one
team played an out-and-out short suit
| game. That team was from the Capital
| Bicycle Club Of Washington. Individually
considered. the whist ability of its players
| could not be questioned, and yet as a team,
although it had the luck to draw in what
was generally admitted to be the weakest
| in that section.
The other team In this contest generally
considered to be a short suit aggregation
was New York. Their game in this contest
however, can be more accurately described
as q mixture Of the two systems. Be that
as 1t may, however. In spite of the adj
| mitted individual skill Of the four play
ers In the team, they were beaten in theic
first two matches. and finished third in
their section.
There were other teams in this contest
with short-suit leanings, but not one of
them finished even as high az second in
its section, and the three teams that made
the best showing in the contest, viz, Ham,
flton, St. Paul, and Baltimore, were all
long-suit tours OF the most radical type.
In the Minneapolis trophy contest two
pairs entered to play the short suit game,
viz, American of Boston and Capital BIZ
cycle of Washington. The individual abil-
ity Of the players was up to, II not well
above, the average Of the other confess
tants. yet in the sixteen entries (some of

Stop Short.

To Be n Great Short Stop He Must
Stop Short.
Washington base ball cranks rejoice that
the Washington team has a shortstop that
can play his position as 1t ought to be
p1ayed-that u.s. most of the time. De Mon
treville promises to be one of the star in
fielders of the league. But there are many
people who say without qualification that
such promises are likely to be broken II the
young man doesn't take better care Of him
self Every now and then the official score
shows big bunch of errors set over
against the name of De Montreville 1t Is
very generally and positively stated on
those occasions that it wouldn't be difficult
to find the cause of such ragged playing.
De Montreville played a magnificent game
yesterday against Boston, but on the pre-
vious day in Baltimore his fielding was
wretched. 1t is said that there were good
reasons for the different kinds of playing.
If the brilliant young ball player has any
ambition to shine in his chosen calling all
he has to do is to play ball and take good
care of himself He has all the qualiica-
tons of q great ball player.
