The Democrats of Trenton, New
Jersey, are true-blue and propose to
fight under the banner Of Bryan and
Sewall, notwithstanding the action of
their State delegation in the Chicago
convention. 1t will be remembered
that Allen McDermott, a New Jersey
delegate, was one Of the loudest howl
ers at Chicago for the gold standard.
He howled in season and out of
season for his Wall street masters.
His course at the convention did not

FORGET MINOR DIFFERENCES.

Congressman Newlands> in his
speech as Temporary chairman of the
st. Louis Silver Convention said:
"a simple question is now presented
to sincere bimetallists throughout the
country, and that is whether they will
permit differences as to non-essential
issues to divide them-thus insuring
the defeat of the common cause-or
whether, preserving their iDdepen-
dence Of conviction and action as to
non-essentials, they shall accept the
brilliant leader whom the Democracy
has named; and, uniting all the silver
forces wherever organ lied into one in
vincible army, march to victory in
November next"
The Sacramento Bee comments on
the above as follows:
That is the proposition in nutshell.
The vital issue of the War Of the Re-
bellion was the perpetuation Of an in
dissoluble Union. Before that, all
other questions gave way. In the
presence OF that, men who differed
with the majority on various matters
to which the Army of the Union be-
came afterwards consecrated, drew
their swords and gave freely of their
blood. United on one point, these
dissenters from other principles sub
sequently set forth, said: @The one
vital question now before us is the
preservation intact of our Union. For
that, we are brothers of the sword;
for that. we forget for the time being
all differences; for that, we will march
on, conquering and to conquer. Let
the bugles sing truce on all minor
discussions. Our country undivided
and indivisible,' be our watchword
and our rallymg cry" ,.... =. "
And 80 the silver men, armed i'll the
right, panoplied with justice, and
crowned with everlasting truth, say:
I'VE are companion crusaders in this
cause Of the people. AS our dear
brothers, living and dead, fought to
preserve this Union from rebellious
hands that would tear it asunder, 30
shall we-forgettlng all minor diff
ferences, laying aside all trivial jeal-
ousies, burying temporarily all lesser
subjects Of dispute -march shoulder
to shoulder for the representation of
the Union, this time from the strang-
ling clutch Of the money gamblers;
and for the liberation of the common
people of this glorious Republic from
enslavement to Wall Street and the
Rothschilds."

HOW Crnin Won ont.

The late Representative Grain of Texas
has a characteristic way of gaining his
point when put to it that is well illus
trated by story dating back to the fam
Gus Fifty-tirst congress, when Reed was
making his reputation as a car and ty-
rant.
Col. John Willett, an old pioneer of Tex
as, came on to Washington during that
congress to get an appropriation for Pa
DIRE Island harbor, in Texas, for deep
water. He wanted Grain, in whose dis
trict the harbor is located, to Introduce
the bill, but the Texas member, under
the impression that the measure had no
prospects of passing. refused to touch IT..
Hatch of Missouri, who had friends in
terested in the enterprise, consented to
introduce the BILL and to the surprise OF
Grain got a favorable report upon 1t from
the rivers and harbOrS committee.
This made Grain mad. Hatch proposed
as a compromise that the first whom
Speaker Reed should recognize should
pass the bill. One morning before prayer
Grain wrote the following note to the
speaker;
Dear Car: Please recognize me this
morning to pass little water bill, that
I may get out of hot water. The gentle
man from Missouri (Hatch) has laid a
crows egg in Grains nest, and ] want
to Hatch it out this morning. Yours
truly, w. H. Grain.
AS soon as prayer was over and the
bers rose to their feet for recognition,
but high and clear above the din and con-
fusion rose the speakers voice.
THE gentleman from Texas" Grain
got the floor and passed the bill Hatch
saw he had been outwitted-which was
an, and invited him to meet him at Cham
berlain'S that evening"

should not at this time grant them bel

wouldn't like 10 see the Cubans triumph.
He has "A much greater feeling Of respon-
sibHty than congress seems to have. He
doesn't want TO needlessiy involve the
United States in a war with Spain-a war
that would cost millions OF dollars. thou
sands of lives and greatly disturb BUSH
ness and trade. The great majority Of
congressman who talk so glibly about the
freedom Of Cuba and the necessity for the
United States TO extend helping hand TO
any people that may engage in a struggle
for liberty have only one object in view.
namely. 10 strengthen their hold upon their
constituents. If war should result from
their reckless talk they would take good
care not TO shed their blood in Cuba's
cause, or TO sacrifice any of their wealth 10
assist her people. In fact. if war should
come and it should be the cause Of distress
in this country. they would be among the
first. in all probability. to condemn the
President for taking the step that brought
on the war.
OF course. we do not recognize Spain as
a great power We should have little TO
fear from her in the event of her declaring
war against us. hut war even with her
would cost blood and treasure. And it is
by no means certain that she would not
have allies. There are grounds for thinking
she would. Both Germany and France are
spoken of as such allies. They are greatly
interested in the South American trade.
and Germany is especially interested in
Cuba's trade. The aggressive disposition
shown by the United States within the last
few months is construed by European pow
ers to mean their determination to control
the trade of all of the countries to the
south of them. II can be readily seen,
therefore that both France and Germany
would have a motive in joining Spain if
the latter should have a quarrel with us
But does Spain want a war with us? No.
she doesn't. but she is bankrupt, and is.
therefore, in a condition of mind to do
any reckless thing, believing that what
ever she did her situation could be no
worse, and might become better. She would
certainly prefer to lose Cuba in a war with
us than to lose it in a war with rowing
bands of Cubans.
While the idea of helping struggling pa
triots is a taking one, still our first duty is
to ourselves. There is no good reason why
we should involve ourselves in a costly
war for sentiment. When we engage in
so serious an undertaking as war, it should
be in defense of our honor, our rights or
some great principle such as the Monroe
doctrine.
