breaking Away.

1t seems to us that those sound money
democrats of the west who are beginning
to organize sound money clubs are acting
rather hastily. If they insist upon organ
izing clubs with which to oppose silver
monometalism 1t seems to us the wiser
course would be to wait until after the
Chicago convention.
1t is announced that some of the most
prominent democrats of Burlington,
Iowa, have formed a sound money clup.
They have taken pledge that they will
not vote for any candidate for President
or member of congress who is not known
to be against unlimited silver coinage
at the ratio of 16 to l. This pledge is to be
circulated in Iowa and other western
states.
We have no doubt that such clubs will
be organized in all the states if there
is such declaration for silver at Chicago
as the extreme silverites of the democrat.
ic party insists there shall be, but why
not wait until the democratic party has
made its platform? Its utterance in re-
spect to silver may be much more conserv-
alive than it is now generally believed
it will be. A great many of the delegates,
who are classed as silverites, may not be
satisfied that silver recommendation would
be a good thing for the country. There
is a growing impression that the monetary
plank that viii be adopted will not de-
clare for the 16 to l ratio, but that a con-
sentative sentiment will prevail to such
an extent that only a moderate declara>
ton for silver will be made. That would
be bad enough. but it would leave room
to hope that the democratic party would
recover from the silver craze before any
great harm could be done.

An interesting point which Secretary
Carlisle brings out in his reply to inqui-
ries of the subcommittee of finance of
the Senate, charged with the in
vestigation of the sale of bonds of the
United States in the years 1s94-'96, is that
the Withdrawals of gold from the treas
ury and the shipment of it abroad began
on large scale in June 1S92-the last
month of the fiscal year of 1S92--and con-
tinued with only short periods of intermis-
sion until the close of the fiscal year 1898.
Attention is called to this point in Mr.
Carlisles reply, because of the reported
assertions of the republicans during the
last few months that the cause of the
Withdrawals of gold from the treasury was
the lack of revenue. and that the lack of
revenue was due to the repeal of the Nc
Kinley tariff.
Mr.. Carlisle shows by figures that can
not be disputed that the gold began going
out while the Mckinley tariff was in op-
GRAFTON. That being the case the argu-
ment advanced by the republicans to ex-
plain the gold Withdrawals cannot be cor
rect
1t IS we'll known that during the last
few months of the Harrison administra-
ton the Secretary of the Treasury became
alarmed by the inroads that were being
made on the gold reserve, and that he
made preparations for bond issue. If
the Harrison administration had remained
in Office a few months longer it would
/ have been compelled TO issue bonds The
! Mckinley tariff had no more effect in
] keeping gold in the treasury than the
/ Wilson tariff has had.

There are four companies of women in
Maceo's army, according to a dispatch
from Cuba by way Of Key West. 1t was
a bad day for the cause of Spain in Cuba
when the first pretty native senorita
girded up her skirts, seized a machete
and went to the front. And it was like
wise an extremely unlucky day for Capt.
Gen Weyier when the news was pub
lished in this country that the Cuban
beauties were enlisting for the war. The
women, it is said, prefer the known dan
gers of the field to the unknown dan
gers Of Spanish mercy in the forts
1t is certain, furthermore, that they will
prove TO be as good fighters as the men.
Some Of the illustrated papers of recent
date have printed pictures Of Cuban am
azons in war equipment in which they
looked particularly formidable and pretty.
it is to be expected, by the way. that
the matter Of actual fighting Will be one
