The Mckinley Situation Summed Up.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem).

Maj. Mckinley knows that in the race
for the presidential nomination the vote
of a free silver delegate counts for as
much as the vote of a sound money dele
gate. Hence he keeps his mouth shut
He trusts TO his past financial record
for the support of the friends of cheap
money ana to his reputation as an ultra
protectionist to hold fast TO him the votes
of the sound money manufacturing states
And he will run on any platform his
party shall make for him. This is not an
altogether satisfactory showing for citl-
zens who believe in courageous and con.
scientious craftsmanship and who thinx
that a man who is afraid to announce ms
views as a candidate cannot be trusted
as President; but it is politics of the
ming politics. The only danger to Mr. Nc
kinley and his boomers lies dn the posi-
hility OF a revulsion of public sentiment
that the people cannot be fooled all the

No Mule Aboard.

A correspondent writes the river editor
of the Courier-Journal and asks: ITO de-
eide a. bet, win you please state in the
river column whether there was a mule
on the Ark or not?"
No, sir, Nary a mule, replies the river
editor. When Capt. Noah built the Ark
as a high-water packet in the Ararat
trade, and he went into the menagerie
business, he found that he was a mule
out" just as he got ready 10 leave on his
maiden trip. He went ashore, and, after
looking around, found mule, and would
have made his animal show complete
If he had been able to get him aboard
the boat. Not being able to find a negro
who would twist his tail and make him
get aboard by walking the gang plank.
and, after trying to get his deck crew to
coax, shove, lead or carry the mule
aboard, he got mad, rang the bell, backed
out and lit out for Ararat, leaving the
mule a lonely, friendless beast until he
was discovered by negro. The two have
been fast friends ever since.

As told IN a Herald special from Ha-
vana. the scene between Gen. Weyler and
Consul General Williams was a highly
dramatic one when the latter went TO
the captain generals palace TO protest
against carrying into effect The sentence
Of death pronounced by the court mar
tiaI I'm the case Of the five prisoners
OF the American schooner Competitor. 1t
seems that Consul General Williams was
not present at the trial Of the prisoners,
rot having been invited. and when the
trial was concluded all Information as 10
the result reached was denied 10 him He
was wei satisfied. however. as 10 what
had been done. and he promptly sent
dispatch 10 the state department at wash
ington. stating that the prisoners had been
convicted and sentenced to be shot, and
asked for instructions. He got the in
structions quickly. and they were Of
premptory character.
lie went at once to Capt. Gen. Weyler
and a very stormy interview occurred.
Gen. Weylcr said the prisoners had been
convicted and sentenced and would be shot
at sunrise the following morning, not
withstanding the protest of the United
States. Consul General Williams said ne
had instructions to close the consulate
and leave Cuba Il the sentence was car
ricd out-that the trial had been con-
Quoted contrary to treaties existing be-
tween the United states and Spain. He
further told the captain general that if
the prisoners were executed before the
protest Of the United States was given
proper consideration, he and the Spanish
government would be held responsible. In
other words. he practically informed the
captain general that the execution of the
prisoners would be the cause of war be-
tween the United States and Spain.
When Consul Williams departed Gen.
Weyler called together his advisers, and
there was a very lively discussion at the
palace. The captain generals advisers
told him it would be advisable for him
ever that he would either have the pris-
oners shot or he would resign.
1t turned out. however, that the prls-
oners were not shot and Gen. weyler did
not resign. The Spanish government was
quick to find out that war with the
United States was not desired yet awhile,
and SO it suspended the sentence, ordered
the papers in the case to be forwarded
to Madrid. and told Cen Weyler that the
time for him to resign had not yet come.
There is no doubt that if the five pris-
oners had been shot there would have
been war at once between the United
States and Spain. The administration
acted vigorously and promptly. because
it felt itself in the right. 1t did not
intend that the prisoners should be shot
Gen. Weyler has discovered that he cannot
play the part Of tyrant in Cuba, not
withstanding the fact that he has au-
thority from his government to do pretty
much as he pleases.
The administration is certain to act
with vigor in protecting Americans and
American interests. It's refusal thus far
to recognize the belligerency of the Gu
bans may not satisfy the jingoes, but it
has the best of reasons for pursuing the
course in respect to Cuba that it has
adopted.

Altgeld of Illinois, Jones and Stewart
of Nevada, and Wolcott of Colorado are
all capitalists. Three of them are mil
lonaires. They affect to favor 'coin"
bonds, and the unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l. Gov. Atkinson
might make d practical test of their sin
certify by Offering them some of the state
of Georgia coin" bonds. Georgia is a
great and rich state, with an excellent
reputation. Her "coin" bonds are as
near "gilt-edge" securities as any bonds
of the kind could possibly be. If the quar-
tette of silverites named really believe
that silver is as good as gold, they ought
to have no hesitancy in demonstrating
their faith by buying Georgia coin"
bonds. If they We're to form a syndicate
and take the whole issue at a slight prem
ium, or even at par, it would afford an in
valuable object lesson favorable to the

But the chances are that if Gov. Atkin-

one of them would buy u bond at any

who is large real estate owner in Chi
cago, always insists that leases of his
property shall specify that ne is to re-
ceive gold for rentals. He and Stewart
and other capitalists would continue to
demand gold if unlimited coinage were
instituted and silver monometallism es-
tabrshed. They would demand 1OO-cent
dollars for all debts due them. But when
it came TO paying their laborers, they
would employ 5O-cent dollars. And the
5O-cent dollars being a legal tender, the
laborers would be forced to take them or
get nothing.

The denomination of Congressman
Catchings of Mississippi can hardly be
called victory for either the sound money
or the unlimited silver coinage faction of
the democracy. Mr. Catchings is person
ally a sound money man, but some time
ago he announced that if his constituents
wished him to vote for silver he would
do so. Mr.. Catchings, however, is AIDE
fender of the administration. hence his re-
nomination is to a degree an Endorsement
of the administration.

During the meeting of the International
Arbitration Conference, at Washington,
some time ago. President Eliot of Harvard
roundly condemned the headstrong I'm
goes Of this country. Last week the iii
nois Grand Army Of the Republic, in en-
campment assembled, solemnly resolved
that if President Ehors remarks fairly
represented the college, the sooner it's
doors were closed and owls and bats
came to inhabit it, the better. and young
men were advised to go elsewhere for an
education. President Eliot got back at
the association by characterizing it as an
organization (which does little more than
get what money it can from the govern
ment." 1t seems that President Eliot has
yet to learn that the Grand Army OF the
Republic and a few New England con-
sressmen are the custodians ana censors
OF all the patriotism in the country.

is erroneous. as witness his autocratic
manner Of shutting off the appropriations.

Car Reed and the present Car Reed is
that formerly he acted in a more open
