ohlLp.s PLAY.
Eoolishnoss of tho Senators from the
= Mining Cnmpe.


It has pleased majority of senators
to make n show of their foolishness.
1t is commonly supposed that "horse
sense" is n quality largely developed
in new states and mining camps, but
mot u solitary one of the senators who
have spent a month over the silver
bill has the slightest notion that it
can possibly pass. They are perfectly
aware that it will not even be consid-
cred in the house, as it is an imperti-
nent alteration of measure passed
by the latter body in response to the
presidents urgent appeal for power
to meet the necessities of the treas
ury. 1t is likely that some of the sem
ators who voted for silver coinage in
place of bond bill did so because they
were opposed to any more issues of
bonds or borrowing of money while
the treasury confesses n monthly def
icit, but if there are such senators it
would have been more manly and more
sensible to vote against the bond bill,
without taking q months time to
Ifasten upon it a coinage bill which
they knew neither the house nor the
president will approve.
But it seems to be n condition on
which senators from silver states get
.ot)ice that at least once in each con-
gress, whether with the slightest prac-
tical reason or without any, they should
make loud noise for free silver and
pass a free coinage bill if they can.
IT is q pity for constituents to have
such senator's, or else it is n pity for
senators to have such constituents, be-
cause no good whatever, but some
harm, is done by this biennial exhibi-
tion. If there were any chance that
free coinage bill might become law,
the recurring effort would receive and
he entitled to more respectful atten-
tion, as an honest, if mistaken, en-
deavor to meet wishes of constituents.
When it is made repeatedly without
even the pretense of hope that bill
can be passed, the effort has a tendency
to disgust and even to affront many
who have been we'll inclined toward
bimetallic views.
This vote ought to be regarded by
the financial world as bit of sheer silli-
ness, which can have no influence upon
y the welfare, the good faith or thefuture
policy of the nation. The difficulty is
that all men are not intelligent enough
to understand it thus thoroughly. In
foreign countries, it is probable, there
will be found not IL few competent in
yestors and capitalists who will look
upon this action of the senate as only
new disclosure of the downward
tendency of public opinion in this
Ia inf 70
get that the senate has voted more
than once in the same way, and with
the same entire want of practical re-
suit. Necessarily the influence upon
the public credit must be injurious te
some extent, and it is possible that il
may result during the coming months
in some further outgo of gold.-N. Y

UNSTABLE MONEY.
Ups and Downs of Silver During the Last
Year.

Ups and Downs of Silver During the Last
Year.
The beauty of unstable money and the
condition in which American business
would be were we to slump to a silver
basis is aptly crystalized in the story
of silver for the fiscal year about to be
officially reported.
Nothing known to human ingenuity
can make silver dollar intrinsically
worth more than it's bullion value, al
though the government pays out gold
and boards silver in an effort to an i'm
possible end. The average bullion value
of the silver dollar was for last year 40.
The ratio of gold to silver for the fiscal
year was / to $3.50.
Should the free silver interests have
an opportunity (Which they will never
have) to try their monetary theory upon
American business, the chief occupa-
ton day by day of the American busi-
ness man would not be buying or sell.
ing other commodities upon known
and stable monetary basis but weighing
his silver and finding out by telegraph,
overland and submarine, how much his
money was worth.
Business men who fancy this sort OF
occupation would be profitable, after Il
few months trial would help to increase
tie population of asylums for exhausted
intellects and bankrupt pockets.-Chi'

FAMOUS CROOK CAUGHT.
James Walden, a Noted Safe Blower, Ar
rested in Baltimore.


Baltimore, Md, Feb. 1S.-James Wal
den, with numerous aliases, one of the
greatest safe crackers in the country,
was arrested in this city Monday. The
offense with which he is charged is the
breaking of two safes recently. Her.
man Brandenburg, Il confederate, 22
years old, who says he halls from Mil.
waulSee, was also captured. The lat
ter admitted to the police that he and
Walden did the jobs for which they
We're arrested. The amount of booty
secured in each case was small, but the
character of the work would indicate
that it was done by an expert.
Walden is about AZ years old. His
photograph adorns rogues' galleries III
all parts of the country. 1t is claimed
that on February A, 1888, he robbed the
safe of Chapman & Gail, of Norfolk
Va, of 100000 worth of diamonds and
iewelry. He was arrested and gave the
name of John Ward. On March 81
1898, the Bank of Pawling, n. Y, was
robbed of $1O,5oO in money and bonds
The same man was captured under the
name of John Walsh and served tern
in Sing Sing. Numerous other jobs ar,
cited by the police, going to show that
they have captured much-wanted law
breaker.

A MISTAKEN POLICY.
The Unpatriotic Course of the Free Silver
Senators.

The Unpatriotic Course of the Free Silver
Senators.
The action of the efree-coinage-of-sil-
yer senator's at Washington is extreme
ly reprehensible.
The Journal has little sympathy
with that class of goldbug statesmen
who fail to see the slightest reason or
Justice in the claim of the free-silver
advocates. They represent the debtor
class in the nation, which feels that
through an appreciation in gold it has
been made to suffer undue penalties for
its misfortune. The mere statement of
its claim is sufficient to demand for it
careful attention. Whether the remedy
desired by the advocates of free coin
ege of silver would be effective is a mat
ter of grave doubt. 1t is more than like
ly that free silver coinage, instead of
ameliorating, would injure the condi-
ton of the debtor class through con-
traction of credit. 1t matters not, how
ever, whether the free-silver advocates
feel that the people whom they repre-
sent are unjustly treated by the coin
age laws of the United States. They
have no right to retard the business of
congress and make as permanent as
they can the treasury deficit. The
free-silver majority in the senate at
tached to the bond bill when it came
from the house free-silver substitute,
which was carried. Now the revenue
bill, providing for the raising of sufii-
cient revenue to meet the expenses of
the government is weighed down like
wise with free-silver rider. This
course is not patriotic, nor does it inure
to the benefit of the cause of free sill
ver. 1t locates the advocates of that
policy as disturbers of the nations
business, as promoters of bond issues,
and, in general, as enemies of the coun-
try. Admitting that they believe them
selves sincerely to be right upon the
free-coinage question, they have not
the right to tie up the business of the
country as they are doing.
What sympathy there may be in the
east for the suffering debtor class in
the western prairies is rapidly evanes'
cling; and all because of the conduct al
Washington of the senator's who rep
resent those unfortunate states which
developed beyond their own capacity
NOW are reaping the ills of an unnat
urally accelerated harvest. = Albany

GAVE UP THE FIGHT.
After a Struggle, an Omaha Savings Bank
Secures Receiver.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 1S.-The McCague
Savings bank has gone into the hands
OF a receiver on application of the state
banking board, and S. S. Curtis has been
appointed receiver. The bank has been
endeavoring for some time TO reorgan-
ize into mutual savings bank, and has
succeeded in getting nearly one-half
of the deposits subscribed to The mu-
tual. However, in the limit of time al
lowed for reorganization it has been
found impossible to reach the required
$4,000 by some $4,000 to $4,000. The
bank, which was closed during the
panic for some weeks, and was re-
opened with it's impaired capital made
good, has made a manly fight for con-
tinued life, and exhibited remarkable
resources and pluck.

Robbins, adjulant TO Commander-in-

BONDS IN DEFAULT.

MIR. Morgan Makes u Demand Upon tho
Secretary of the Treasury.
Washington, Feb. IS. - j. Pierpont
Morgan has made special demand for
all defaulted bonds of the recent is
sue under his blanket bid of 110.6S77.
Secretary Carlisle has taken the de.
mand under advisement, but will not be
able to render a decision until the treas
ury is advised of the number of bonds
in default. 1t is known, however, Off
cially, that William Graves and asso
ciates of New York have defaulted to
the extent of $4,5OO,00o. Their bid was
115.3391. 1t is not believed that any
considerable number of other bond
bidders have defaulted.

taken that the friends who haze urged
him to go to st. Louis haze acted ur-
advisedly and that he could not accept
such position without compromising
his dignity as his presence in the con-
,vention would be construed into bid
for votes for nomination that he has
