THE GOLD MOUNTAIN.

The Democracy is again playing
the same game that won for four
wears ago---a free silver plank
and gold standard candidate.
But just now the mahoanlet Of
the party.--the people and the
politicians, Isis commanding the
mountain to move, while the noun
tain grizzly and adyisedly stays
where it is. The gold mountain

didate out of hand. This is the
inexorable and habitnal fortune OF
the democracy---to platform one
thing, and to nominate another.
But i'll tile republican party an
other state Of affairs exists. The
free silver element in that organl-
cation is not so rampant as III the

can camp there is something else
left upon which to found q CAM

laws, is conceded by the most
thinking men of the party, and
The only question at issue is the
plan ofsafety to be pursued. How
much can be done for the white
metal, without inperiling the
credit Of our currency, is the open
question in the republican party.
Yet even there the gold mountain
has its base, and is inclined to be.
mmovable.
The one paramount trouble
with the men who fonsti-
tute the brains Of the pfrty is,
they refuse to consider u he vast
gold production OF the foreign
mines, and It's capacity for 81 ecula
tion upon other people products.
They refuse to recognize the tre-
mendous necessities Of Our home
business transactions, and, the
equally tremendous capacity Of
our silver production for taking
care of the volume Of trade. They
are looking 50 fixedly in the direc-
ton Of democracy, the direction
Of our surplus provisions to the
european markets, that they over-
look entirely the republican pro-
gramme Of home markets for
everything and foreign markets
for our manufactured goods as
fast as we can manufacture. They
have fallen into a democratic trap,
and do not know how to extricate
themselves with credit to their
personal records, and are even
willing to sacrifise the party anu
the country upon the rock of con
sistency.
The republican prophet is in i'm
minent danger Of going to the
gold mountain, without that SUBJ.
lime dare to the mountain which
has made so many religious fantics.
fond of their seer. But there is n 0
open necessity for either the dare
or the refusal of the mountain to
move, the gold mountain and the
silver mountain should surrender
to one another, just as the two
metals intermingle in the bowels
of the earth, Neither should be
omnipotent, neither should control
the other on the counters Of this
country or in the platform of the
great American party.

1t Is Feared Pacific Mail Liner
Rio de Janeiro Is Lost,
1856 PERSONS WERE ON BOARD,
Carried n Cargo of Merchandise and
Bullion Worth Nearly "a
Million Dollars.

San Francisco, March S.--The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company's big liner,
the City Of Rio de Janeiro, which left
this port for the Orient heavily laden
on the 9Th Of last month. should have
arrived a Yokohama on the 23d Of Feb
ruary, yet not a word has been heard
from her.
At the east the agents Of the COM
pany declare that they have received
information of no sort regarding the
steamers welfare or whereabouts since
she glided out of the bay on the after
noon of February 6. The New York
office of the company has been wired
necessarily by the local agents but
the reply comes regularly and monot-
onously that as yet nothing has reached
them by cable concerning the vessel.
The Rio left here with 1876 people on
board all told. OF these, four were
cabin passengers and there We're in the
Storage 10 Europeans, 10 japanese and
% Chinese The crew consisted of 30
white people and 70 Chinese. The names
Of the Chinese and Japanese are not
registered.
The list of the Rio de Janeiro's crew
is as follows: W. J. Russell, captain; J.
3. Robinson, chief officer; J. f. Mat
theWs, chief engineer; O. X. Freeman,
purser; a. K. Tichenor, freight clerk; S.
NJ Terrill, surgeon; S. +. Johnson, sec
ond officer; L. G. NeWmaTd, third 0tIi-
GER; J. Anderson, carpenter; William
Bray, maindeCk Watchman; W. J. Pal

S. Hanlin, stOrekeeper; Mrs. J. c. Dor
man, steWardess; George Lancashire,
butcher; Robert r. Kelly, saloon watch
man; j. c. Spencer steerage Waterman;
n. CT. Vow and 70 Chinese.
The one theory upon which the com
pany's agents base the greatest hopes
is that the Rio, by force of bad weather
or other circumstances, was compelled
to pass Yokohama without making her
usual stop there.
gether an unusual occurrence. 1t has
happened several times during the past
II years to other steamers in the service
of the company. Should this be the case
there will be a still longer period Of
anxiety before anything can be possibly
heard from her in that event, until she
reaches Hong Kong. Many shipping
men feel hopeful that she win shortly
be reported from the Chinese port.
The Rio de Janeiro is one of the hand
soonest and largest vessels engaged IN
the trans-Pacidc service of the Pacific
Mail. She is a four-master, amply pro-
Vided with sails, so that in case of dam
age to her engines while at sea there
would be nothing to prevent her wealth
ering her way to some nearby port with
the use of her canvas alone. When the
Rio left this port she carried cargo
of general merchandise and bullion val
ued at nearly a million dollars.

Local Detectives WaEtnG n Lively
War on Them.
The local detectives have been waging
lively war recently on the bicycle thieves

made that in upward of 20 per cent of all
the cases the wheels have been recovered,
though the percentage of arrests is by no
means as large.

CREDENTIALS FOR CAPT. HICKEY.
Result Of the Controversy I'm the Con-
federate Veterans' Camp.

The fight in the Confederate Veterans
Association over the recent election of Mr.
William A. Gordon by a number of dele
gates at the Richmond reunion as trustee
representing Camp Ill on the Southern Me-
mortal Institute committee, instead of Capt
j. M. Hickey, who was elected by the as
sociation prior to the reunion and who held
the proper credentials, and for whom the
association instructed the delegation TO
vote, was resumed last evening at their
regular semi-monthly meeting. At the
meeting prior to this, the first after the
Richmond reunion, the association dis
credited the action of the six delegates by
declaring the election of Mr. Gordon as con-
trary to the wishes of the association, and
asserting that the election of Capt. Hickey
was the only legal one, and requesting the
president to furnish Capt. Hickey and the
proper authorities with further credentials
and statement of the action of the asso-
citation upon its return to Washington. Up
on application for the papers the president
stated he preferred to wait until the next
regular meeting should pass upon and APP
prove the minutes. Capt. Hickey's friends
presumed that this indicated a further con-
test, and rallied last evening to his support.
Upon the reading of the minutes a motion
was made by Capt. Hickeys friends to ex-
punge that part of the minutes which in
cluded the report of the delegates who had
elected Mr. Gordon, as well as that of the
opposition delegates who dissented to that
action. A hot discussion ensued, but the
motion prevailed by three-fourths ma
jority.
Another discussion arose over a motion
that President Lewis should at once sign
and furnish Capt. Hickey with the proper
credentials. The motion was ruled out of
order, but an appeal was taken and passed,
and later the credentials were furnished
by the president.
At the Richmond reunion the name Sc
lected for the proposed memorial building
was Southern Memorial Institute, the name
Battle Abbey having been merely used in a
general way, without specific authority.
