BimetalI,m Stln tho Issue.

VIM. l.. Chandler, L. 5. Senator
from New Hampshire, sees clearly
that the cause Of biuete!ism is not
dead and recognizes the necessity of
decisive action by the Republican
party if il would hold on to political
power in this country. In
an article i'm the December number
Of the National RerietC, an English
periodical, the Senator reviews the
recent election in the United States
from the Republican standpoint
He criticises the Democratic plat
form, and declares that the people
are opposed to Independent free coin
age, but warns his English readers
not to imagine that the American
people propose to commit this cOuu-
try to the gold standard. The sig
nificant parts Of Mr.. Chaudler's arti-
Gle are found in the two concluding
paragraphs which we reproduce:
"That the United States is opposed
to the single gold standard, and is in
favor Of rctracipg, in due course and
with careful regard to the national
honor, the steps taken in the demone-
tization of silver until both gold and
silver shall be admitted to free coin
sge at the ratio Of l54 to l, and made
the standard money Of the world.
and the measure of the values of the
worlds proposition which would
receive the suffrages of four-fifths of
our voters, if this proposition alone
could be fairly presented to them,
even without further debate. They
have sufficiently informed them.
selves to believe that the quantity of
real money, and not the money
which must he redeemed in some
other money, determines the prices
of the worlds commodities, that the
decentralization of half of the worlds
real money is slowly reducing prices
and crushing debtors, and that the
use of only gold as non-redeemahle
money is placing the great instru.
| ment of exchange in commerce upon
such narrow basis that the present
depression in production and trade
will continue, with occasional and
temporary reactions, for an indefi-
mite period, and with manifold evils
to the human race the world over.
To such convictions entertained
by a vast majority of American
voters committed to bimetalism, the
friends of such monetary system
may confidently appeal. The ques.
ton is not one of four years, nor yet
of decade. 1t may take as long to
remonetize silver as it has taken tc
realize the paralyZing influence of
decentralization. But the fact tina,
six out of thirteen millions of Ameri
can voters have given their ballots
for the wild project of immediate
free silver coinage by the United
States alone shows that the question
Is one which mus We compro
missed and adjusted H. some way
The advocates OF gold economical
ism are crying out that the silver
question is dead. They hope, but dc
not really believe that this is true
Never was il more Important for hi
metalists to exert themselves. Mr.
Mckinley is pledged by his own
words to cooperate with us"

GoFF.-There will be no U. S..
Senator elected by our State Legisla-
ture this winter, but the Republi-
cans, looking two years ahead, and
counting on having a majority in
the Legislature at that time, are be-
ginning already to talk of Judge
Golf as the coming man, and they
say Barkis is willin'." The party,
our Republicans friends aver, needs
Golf to assist in maintaining Repub-
lican supremacy in the State, and for
this reason they cannot allow his
talents for politics to be hidden for
ever under judicial gown. Col.
Birdie Hart has his eye fixed on
Faulkner's seat in the House of
Lords, but we opine that when the
familiar Republican battle cry,
" Roffergotf," shall again be heard
from the hill tops and in the valleys
Of the Mountain State, Col. Birdie
will hardly be in it to any percepti.
BILE extent.

mocracy has at least gained clear
and we'll defined issue as the result
of the late campaign, Ond one on
which its forces can be easily united
hereafter. 1t says: {" AT least we
have party, which we wouldn't
have had if the administration had
prevailed at Chicago. At least we
have a distinctive cause and a dis
tinctive programme, which we
wouldn't have had if we had gone in
for monometalism and centraliza-
ton, trusts and government bv in
junction. And if, rs penalty of the
situation, we have to swallow the
Populist party, at least, we have the
satisfaction Of knowing that the
Populist party hasn't swallowed us.
AS party we are three-quarters of
million votes stronger than we
wers when Mr.. Cleveland had his
tidal wave in '92. We have come
within 10000 votes of electing the
President. We have gained seventy
or eighty representatives in Con-
gress. And we have an issue to force
prosperity or victory within two
years. That is the main object of
party effort, after all, and we are
sure to get it. The Republicans

and 3d. 96 more than all combined.
IT is evident now that Texas at the
election of November Bird cast more
than $4,000 votes, and that the plus
rality of Bryan and Sewall over Nc
kinley and Hobart is at least 15O,-
600. If the Bryan and Watson vote
is added, Bryan beats Mckinley
more than 100000. In either case
Texas gives Bryan the largest plu-
rality Of any State carried by him,

before the returns were in some of

women doctors, as we'll as healing the

to 129, 600 at par, and the income from
