Gen. Polaviejs who will succeed
Campos, is commander Of the Spanish
Sixth army corps and has had much
experience in Cuba, where his name
seems to be hated and feared by the in
~surgents. 1t has been claimed by the
Cutans when previous rumors of Po-
lavieja's appointment to succeed Cam
pos have been circulated that his APP
would drive many residents
of the island into the insurgent ranks
who had hereto refrained from join

pos would adhere strictly to all the

Texas has gained neither credit,
position, honor, good will, parGy
confidence or anything else by
dragging her dirty neither gar
ments to the st. Louis laundry for
party cleansing. There are tens of
thousands Of good republicans in
Texas who.would have rejoiced to
see no recognition Of any kind
given to any faction Of the party
that was in evidence there. Shut
them every one out, was the gen.
eral sentiment among the better
elements Of the party when the
contests arose. Texas is not needed
to assure the nomination of Nc
Kinley, nor can she lift voice or
vote to aid in his election. All she
has done Is to show her subservi-
ency to the domination OF q col
ored boss, who has only brought
ignomy and disgrace upon the
Texas republicans.

The republicans in convention at
st. Louis are not going to do any
thing that will debase the money
Of the country. That money lie to
be gold, silver and currency, just
IS 1t is now, and the convention
pledges to the country the main
tainsnce, Of their parity Of purchas-
ing power. This is sll that wis
dom asks until there is an inter :
national agreement upon silver, or
at least until 1t is demonstrated
that the other commercial nations
will not adopt an international
bimetalic standard. Make the
revenues sufficient to pay the ex-
penses Of the country and provide
for its debts and there will be no
farther draining Of our treasury

Cleveland is not quick at any

so slightly tinged with the virtue

Platt, has put himself in q posi-

so antagonized the McKinleyites

are rising in protest against his

There has not been political
movement of many years that has
so distinctly demonstrated the
power of the masses OF the republic
can party as this one has done, and
1t emphasizes the long expected
late arriving time, when the people
will take hold Of the political ma.
chine and run it to suit them
selves. When that day does come,
woe betide the presumptuous NOR
tails that get in the way Of the cart
to which the people have harnessed
themselves. The power OF the
masses is an irresistible one.

There is one consolation to the
convention oratory this year at st.

McKinley's nomination is assured /,
and If 1t does the gentlemen in

who utter it, any good, the coun-
try will be merciful and forgive

j. S. Clarkson can thank his

was not the least of the merciee

announcement that he is out OF

The bicycle craze has made vast
fortunes for the manufacturers,
and it is in order to drop the price.
A machine that is worth $50 to
make, according to the best manu-.
featuring authority, ought not to
cost the rider 500. There is or
should be a limit to profits on
manufactured goods. If govern
ment protects an invention and
permits it to be the exclusive prop.
erty of the inventor for term Of
years, then government should set
q mailman price upon the pro.
ducts under that patent and not
permit inventors to rob the public
uEduly. One hundred percent on
cost ought to pay as profit.

ing. The ores that are 80 profit
able now in South Africa, un-
der the more modern methods Of
extraction, would not have yielded
pay dirt under the early California
aud Australian methods. When
the scientists get their full work
in, gold in profitable quantities
will be found in nearly every
quarter of the globe, Gold and
silver will become comlnoa as
stones, and all that will be neces-
sary to preserve their parity will
be such preservation OF the ratio
of production as will keep them
about side by side. Labor will
then as now measure values and
not money the value OF labor.
When there 10 more labor than
the market calls for money will
buy more labor, but when labor is
scarce and the demand supplied
with difficulty 1t will take more
money to buy it. Money Is not
really . standard of value. 1t is q
medium Of exchange and some
day will be accepted as such. Labor
and its product measure values.
