CAMPAIGN PROSPECTS.

The unbounded enthusiasm that char
acterized Mr. Bryan's visit to Indianap-
oils was one of the most encouraging
features of the campaign. That is one
of the battle grounds of the contest;
every vote won there will count If
Bryan can carry Indiana, it is prob
able he can carry Illinois and Michigan
also; and if he carries those states he
will be elected without shadow of
doubt The Indiana reception was
therefore of the highest interest, and
its character cannot but encourage the
supporters of the Democratic ticket
everywhere.
But it cannot be denied that success
depends upon heroic effort from now
until the close of the campaign While
Bryan would certainly carry Illinois
under normal conditions, the result
there, as in several other states. is not
yet assured. The great danger lies in
the fact that employers of labor so
generally declare to their workmen
that mills and workshops will close
down in the event of Bryan's election.
In many cases this is done in a spirit
of coercion; in others it results from
honest fears on the part of employers.
/ The money power, through the banks,
has thoroughly frightened great many
honest people and these assure their
men that Bryans election will bring on
suspension of work
In all cases in which men are in ac-
cord with their employers, a statement
by the latter that the election of Bryan
would obIige them to close the works
necessarily has great influence among
the worbmen. Neither side may fully
understand the question at issue;
neither may be able to fathom the pur-
pose of the money power in bringing
on the scare; but the workman has had
confidence in his employer and is likely
to follow his advice under such cir
cumstances.
This is the danger that confronts
Bryan today in the pivotal states. 1t
can be removed only by the most dill
gent work. The committee in charge
of the campaign must cover the terri
tory with speakers and food it with
literature To do this requires means;
and every friend of bimetallism should
give literally from his own pocket and
induce others to give towards the work.
When an army takes the field it is
obliged to depend for success upon the
work done by those left behind in pro
viding the sinews of war. Our army
is now at the front in a life and death
struggle with the enemy; it will win
If we support it; it will fail if we neg
lect to do our duty.

THE BANCROFT AT THE DARDA-
NEIIAES.

The Armenian question assumes a
new interest for the people of the
United States now that the Turkish
government refuses to permit the Ban
croft to pass through the Dardanelles.
This decision appears to have been
reached after consultation with the sui
tan's advisers, among whom is no
doubt the Russian ambassador. The
reason for this decision is, at least it is
so alleged, that the United States are
not signatory power to the treaty of
Berlin. That is true, the signahnry
powers being Germany. Russia, Aus
tria, England, France, Italy and Tur-
key.
It is said that Minister Terrell has
not asked permission for the Bancroft
to pass through the Dardanelles. This
puts an entirely different phase upon
the case He will in all probability be
instructed to ask such permission, if
he has not already been. If he does
ask it and it shall be refused that would
give another face to the whole matter.
Whether such refusal might lead to
serious complications, just what
though, it is impossible to say. 1t is
not Impossible that independent action
by this government might precipitate
a crisis in the whole eastern question.

HARvEY'S ATTACK ON sICKLEs
AND HOWARD.

Coin Harvey has made very bad
break, If we may rely upon the news
that comes from Clinton, Iowa. In a
speech there he is said to have ar
raigned Generals Sickles, Howard,
Alger and others, referring to them as
''old wrecks of the rebellion who have
lost their honor and patriotism, and
are tools of political Shylocks." 1t is
said that he came near being mobbed.
Had he been, he would have deserved
no sympathy
1t is true that the generals men
toned by Harvey are touring the
country and doing all in their power
to defeat Mr.. Bryan and the cause of
free silver. 1t is also true that they
are trying to prostitute the Grand
Army organization to their purposes,
but it is not true that they are wrecks
of the rebellion or that they have lost
their honor or their patriotism. On
the silver question we do not agree
with them any more than Mr.. Harvey
does, but they are honorable men and
true patriots and have the respect of
the American people, and this attack
upon them viii be resented. 1t de-
serves to be classed with Bourke Cock
rams dirty fling at the southern people
as ''irreconcilable ex-slave holders"
and the contemplate work of those
who are urging against Buckner the
fact that he surrendered to Grant at
Donelson
That Mr.. Harvey is a stanch friend
of free silver no one will question, but
his attack on these Union generals will
injure the cause he advocates more
than his advocacy of it will aid it. His
words will give the opponents of free
silver something on which to seize and
say the free silver men are attack
ing the very men who helped save
the Union. That they will rejoice that
he has made this objectionable blum
der there is no doubt; that the silver
men everywhere win repudiate his SEN
timents regarding Sickles, Howard and
Alger, will not wholly conteract the
effect Of his words. They do repudiate
them, and they countenance no attack
upon those who fought to save the
Union, nor do they believe in
bloody -shfrtism. Mr.. Harvey for the
moment forgot the silver cause and
only remembered his southern preiu-

REIGN OF BLOOD IN CUBA.

The stories that come from Cuba rela-
tive to barbarIties practiced by
the Spaniards are sufficient to cause a.
shudder throughout Christendom. From
time to time since the revolution began
stories of this kind have reached the
public, but recently they have been
much more numerous. 1t is now charged
that wholesale slaughter of prisoners,
is practiced by the Spandards, a vast
number OF men having been sent to
death for no other cause than that thew
were insurgen9 sympathizers. Knowl-
edge of some of these murders has
leaked out and the world has been .par-
tally informed of the reign of blood that
prevails.
1t must be that the Spanish authori-
ties have been worried over the puh-
licity given to their savage acts. for
they have adopted a new method of
executing their DEGREES. The prisoners
in many cases. are now. it is alleged
taken away in boats, it being given out
they are to be landed somewhere else
The boats always return with no other
occupants than their Spanish crews. and
the most diigent search has failed to
show that any one of the prisoners SO
removed ever again set foot on dry
land. An order of determination seems
to have been promulgated, and those
patriots who have been SO unfortunate

as to fall into the hands of their enemies
are being tossed to the sharks.
1t is possible that Weyler hopes to
terrify Cuba; but if that Isl his object
it would seem as though he would not
conduct his murders with so much Sc
crecy. Nothing could be more certain
than that the attempt to subdue the
insurgents in open fight has so far been
a failure; and we can only guess at the
reason for the barbarities resorted to.
That the campaign has been a failure
is clearly shown by the letters published
by the London Times. 1t has been the
rule for all statements to be denied that
represented the Cubans as making prog
ress; indeed, any correspondent who
INDUCED in that sort of thing was
promptly imprisoned or expelled from
the island If Weyler could lay hands on
him. A great many people have doubted
the reports coming from Cuban sources,
so insistent have been Spanish denials;
but the Times has clearly demonstrated
that the Cuban reports have been cor
rect.
1t is singular fact that Weyler has
given free rein Ito the correspondent of
the London paper. The newspaper man
has sent his paper the most unvar-
1ished statements of the facts, showing
the Spanish to have been worsted at
every point. He has demonstrated the
untruthfulness of every claim made by
the Spaniards both as to the character
of the rebellion and as to the progress
of the war; yet Weyler has neither shot
nor imprisoned him.
The increased savagery of the OPP
pressors comes right on the heels Of the
publication of the proofs of their fail
ure; and the question is raised, Is it
not time for the hand of civilization TO
be extended TO stay the rule of blood
and secure the Cubans in the enjoyment
Of their natural rights?

NO SILVER TRUST.
Captain John Goldman Tells What He
Knows About Utah Mines.

The Ontario, the DAILY and the Horn
Silver mines of Utah will not as corpora

election of Mr.. Bryan. They are not in

their inability to produce silver probably

the Ontario has been able to pay small

dividend in some time.
The report that these companies have

utterly without foundation. Neither OF
them has paid a dollar.
