Senator Thurston said the
other night that when silver
was the money of the world
they used to yoke up a woman
with an OK. At the time to
which he refers there wasn't
much money of any kind. Wo-
mankind and mankind both
were practically worthless be-
cause the purchasing power of
money was so great. He should
be consistent. His objection
to silver then, is because it was
so dear; Now, because it is so
cheap. The question of free
coinage is not choice between
two metals, it is question of
the increased quantity of money
through the use of both metals.
The decentralization of silver is
a return towards a condition of
monetary scarcity and if con-
tinued, as Mr.. Thurston's policy
would continue it, will result
in the yoking together of wo-
men and oxen again. For the
barbarism which results from
such scarcity of money is of
the same kind whether the few
coins circulating among the
robbers who rejoice in such
conditions be yellow or white.
But the woman that gets yoked
up with the senator won't have
an OK for partner. She will
be hitched with a jackass.

The sentiment in Duluth
seems to be almost solid, out
side of gold bug circles, for John
Lind for governor. The
Doodle element that has been
trying to hang on to the Peo-
pies party don't seem to like
him, and there may be few
honest old thoroughbreds who
imbided with with their first
lessons in economic reforms
hatred of the old parties which
years has not been able to
mollify, that would prefer some
man who had not been identi-
fled until so very recently
with the heretofore dom
inant political organization.
There is, however, nearly a
unanimous opinion that John
Lind is the man for governor
above all others. His
ability, unimpeachable charac-
ter, and the manhood with
which he stood by his convic-
tons of right and public duty,
when his party declared against
a cardinal principle that has
been part of it's platform for
years, mark him as strong,
sturdy patriot, to whose support
the people can proudly and con-
sistently rally.

An article written 10y Lieut.. Gutierrez
Iobrai. naval attache OF the Spanish le-
cation an washington. and published in
newspaper Of Spain. draws attention
strongly 10 the defenseless condition OF our
sea coast cities. The Spanish lieutenant
may be notified that mis- presence in this
country is no longer acceptable. because.

showing the most vulnerable points along

between the United States and Spain

might DE Of great benefit to the Spanish
government
Still the fact that our seacoast Is in a
very defenseless condition IS apparent 70
every one. 1t doesn't require an expert 10
discover that fact. and it is remarkable
that congress takes no steps 10 provide
sea coast defenses. 1t had no hesitation
in voting an appropriation Of several hun
dred thousand dollars for clerks of mem
beers Of the House. Indeed, IL seems better
fitted TO deal with little grabs Ike that
than to handle great interests in which
the whole country is profoundly Interested.
When congress convened the President
called attention TO the unsatisfactory con
di;ion Of the treasury. and asked for re-
lief legislation. He also pointed out the
defenseless condition Of our sea coast
cities. Congress, however, has done moth
ing in respect to either of these matters.
In. fact. il has done little or nothing. ex-
cept discuss the silver question. threaten
foreign countries with war and pass ap-
preparation bills. It has arrived almost
at the day of adjournment. and # win adj
journ, without having done anything TO
protect the country against foreign enc
mics. or help the treasury out Of its diff
culties.
1t is difficult TO understand how Senator
Morgan and others can conscientiously
urge course in respect to Cuba that
would almost certainly. result in war
knowing that an of the coast cities of the
country are more or less exposed to hostile
navies
Lieut.. Lobral declares it would be an
easy matter for a fleet to lombard Boston.
What is to hinder fleet from destroying
Savannah. Mobile or Galveston?
The people have good reasons for finding
fault with this congress. IT seems to be
wholly unequal to the responsibilities rest
ing upon it. 1t lacks leadership and seems
to be without definite plans or purposes.
Most Of the members are SO occupied with
politics that they can't think of anything
else. If it should adjourn without making
any provision for coast defense work it
would expose itself to the charge of being
wholly unequal to the responsibilities rest
ing upon il.

Splitting LegnI Hnirs.

This is an after-dinner story told ac-
cording to the Chicago Record, by a we'll
known lawyer the other evening, nlustra-
tive of the legal difficulties that nav arise
even IN the carrying out of the most ami

There were once four brothers who had
inherited a storage warehouse from Their.

erty between them. Among the appurte-
HdnCeS thereto was cat, fine animal
eXceiient Tor housing, and this too was
divided, the elder brother owning the rieht
'front.' quarter, the second brother the left
'front.' quarter, and the two younger
brothers the two hind quarters. Now.
unfortunately the cat, in one of its noe
turnal prowls, injured the RIGHT front
paw, and the elder brother attended TO
THAT portion of his property by binding the
injured member with a creased rag The
cat, thankful for this relief to its suffer
ing, went to sleep cOntentedly before the
hre, but in the midst of it's slumbers a
falling coal ignited the rag and the amt
mai, hoWlng with agony, dashed through
the warehouse, and, coming in contact
with some combustables, set the building
on fire -o'-'9

McKinIey's Candidacy.


There remains but one chance to de-
feat Mckinley at St. Louis, and it must
come from his evasive and cowardly course
on the silver issue. The convention is a
month away, and if in that time the pro
tests against his nomination, from the
business interest. continue to gather force
and volume, as they are now doing. when
the crucial time comes Mckinley NAV he
left. We admit that there is but Small
probability of this, yet it is the only one
that remains 1t is certain that the nee
pie are thoroughly awakening to the dan
gers of non-relable man on the curren-
cy question at the white house. Had Nc
kinley been in Cleveland's place the last
three years the country to-day would have
been on a silver basis. The danger is
greater the next five years.

Senator Tllman. in his speeches in
Texas, was not especially acceptable TO
the silverites of that state. He spoke at
Dallas last Friday and at Terrell on Sat
urday. His mission to Texas was to get
the Texas democrats to send a delega-
ton to Chicago that would join him and
his South Carolina delegates in boiling
the Chicago convention if a 16 to / silver
plank was not put in the national demo-
cratic platform.
At Dallas he boldly proclaimed that
he would pick up his hat and walk out
of the Chicago convention if the hnan-
cial plan he wants was not put in the
platform Now that it is understood that
Senator Tillman intends to bolt if he
cannot run the convention to suit him
self would it not be advisable to shut
him out altogether? He certainly has no
business in the convention if he doesn't
intend TO abide by its action.
The reason his speeches were not ac-
ceptabla in Texas was that the sound
money democrats are threatening to hold
a convention ana nominate a ticket in
harmony with their views; and the sill
verres. who have control of the party
inachh cry, are denouncing them for do
ing SO. The silverites in the democrats
party in Texas don't want the sound
MONEY men to bolt. because they cannot
carry the state without them. There
fore Tillman's talk of having the silver
men at Chicago bolt was anything but
pleasing to them.
rhiman's conduct leads to the conclu-
sion Hnat he is anxious for an excuse to
bolt the Chicago convention. He wants
to organize silver party and be its pres
iden,ial candidate. He has the impress
ION that millions of voters only want a
chance to follow him and vote for him
If he should succeed in having himself
nominated for President by the silverites
what a disappointment he would suffer
Outside Of South Carolina he wouldn't
get an electoral vote.

Cuba sIipping AvNnN.
From the Hartford Times Dem.).

This is a very important dispatch from
Madrid, if it is true. which says: The
government has approved of a proposal to
ing Cuba and its relations with the United
St| es." The sending of such a circular
would mean that the Madrid government
felt its grip on Cuba giving way. 1t means
that Spain sees no other way, except to
appeal to the other powers for assistance
We do not believe the result of such an
appeal would be pleasing or satisfactory
to the SDa0iar6s
