The four men arrested by Captain
Hughes rangers as the bandits who
held up the west bound Southern Pa
citic train, near Comstock the other
night, have confessed at Del Rio near
where they were arrested; in fact the
| fellows are tumbling all over them

connection with the affair. Their
| names are Shackleford of Langtry,
Gobel of Comstocs, Newman of Del
Rio and bad man from Dewitt county
whose name is at present writing un-
known.
They are all young men, cow boys,
with nothing in particular to busy
themselves about: and as Satan finds
some mischief still for idle hands to do
this festive quartet thought it would
be fine thing to hold up Southern
Pacific train. They boarded the train
at Comstock and lost no time in get
ting in their work. The bad man from
Dewitt county was stationed at the
rear of the train with his Winchester
where he was ready to pick off any one
who came out of the coaches: and a
second guard was placed behind a pile
OF ties with his gun while two of the
bandits went through the express car.
All they got was package of papers
valued at $50 and a watch valued at
$50. The papers they burned, and the
watch they cached. and will find it for
the officers. if they have not done so
already. 1t is said no one came up
from Comstock station, but that some

train or were being put off made them
think assistance had come and they lit
out.

A SUGGESTION.

SoGne o., the most difficult problems
which have confronted nations have
been settled by postponement. For IL
, iIstlsation, the slave trade was strongly
entrenched in the interests Of the plant
ers of America It was further rein
fosced by the large profit a.ooruing from
the trade itself. In 1877 Thomas JEFF
horrence. secured the passage Of the Gel
ebrated ordinance ded3cating the
Northwest Territory forever to free
dom, and providing that the slave trade
should be tolerated until 1S0S a period
Of twenty-one years, after which 1t
should be deemed piracy, punishable
with death. This ordinance became
the equivalent OF constitutional pro-
vision. From the date Of it's passage.
the slave trade began to decline The
owners of ships saw in Il an opportunity
for monopolizing the trade, and the
owners OF slaves saw the value Of their
chattels gradually increased by reason
of the prospective extinction Of the
slave trade itself The slave trade was
the means by which new supplies of
slaves were obtained Cutting off this
source Of supply necessarily limited the
increase OF slaves to the natural in
crease. Thus the elements which would
have resisted the immediate abolition
OF the slave trade became enlisted in its
future extinction at date certain
The second Illustration was found in
the resumption of specie payment The
national currency was at discount Of
ten per cent when the resumption bill
was passed But nearly four years
were given In which to resume and
conditions shaped themselves for re-
sumption A bill for the immediate re-
sumption of specie payment could not
have been passed. Resumption at a
future date. with the date certain, was
a matter OF easy accomplishment
The "Record-Union" now suggests
that the controversy between the gold
standard and bimetallic standard men
Of this nation might be compromised by
fixing a time for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a future period, say
on the first day Of January, 1907. This
would accomplish many things First,
It would promote International agree
ment in favor Of bimetallism The
nations of the earth would be ap-
prised that the United States had de-
clared in favor Of the free and unlfm-
tied coinage OF silver to take effect Jan
uary 1, 1907. Second, the value OF sill
yer bullion would be enhanced, be-
cause as soon as 1t Is declared that
some time In the future, and at a date
fixed. the unlimited coinage of silver
Will be established, the value of silver
bullion would rise This would bring
the actual parity of value between gold
and silver more nearly to that obtain
ing before the characterization of silver
IN 1873. Third, and most important.
the commercial and industrial condi-
tions Of the country would adjust
themselves without wrench or shock.
It is with very mature deIlberation,
therefore, that we make the suggestion
IN favor of general compromise along
the lines indicated.

DECENcY IN THE CAMPAIGN.

The Review OF Reviews" for August
has most sensible editorial upon cam
paign methods. It takes much the same
ground that the ''Record-Union" has
assumed, namely. that in political cam
paigning there Is nothing more detesta-
ble than personal abuse and intemper-
ate use of harsh designations. while the
assault upon motive is the meanest of
weapons.
Unquestionably severity and honest
expression of honest belief will in polit-
ical contention call out strong language.
Nor Is this Objectionable. for 1t need not
be abusive epithet nor mean attack
upon the motive that inspires an oppo-
nent. If the motive Is selfish. bad and
dangerous It Is entirely proper to say
so, and to boldly and strongly proclaim
The record-union., 1896-08-02

1t. But this need not be done in the Ian
guage of the gutter For, as the RE
view of Reviews" well says, In the vast
majority of cases political opponents in
such a campaign as that now on are
sincere. and vituperation only makes
the task of truth more difficult. The
magazine continues:
We have in this country from time
immemordal been accustomed to hear
protectionists and free traders call each
other every disagreeable name, from
imbecile to liar and thief. Yet both
camps are full of men OF intelligence,
honor, sincerity and pure patriotism.
The battle of the monetary standards,
like the never-ending tariff battle, de-
rives its stubborn seriousness from the
very fact that the men on both sides
are with unimportant exceptions, sin
cere and honest. If the silver men were
indeed to any great extent 'blather-
sl1ites," intentional ''repudiationists" or
dangerous anarchists" the country
would be in no danger from their doc
trines. 1t Is only when good men hold
tena dously to erroneous views that
Will prevail. The belief which four
fifths of the delegates to the Republican
Convention at st. Louis professed, to
the effect that the welfare of all classes
in our country-capitalist and wage
Garner, farmer and banker alike-re-
qRired the maintenance of the existing
gold standard, was and is an honest
Judgment, totally uninfluenced by an
alleged conspiracy of institutions or
perSonages known as the money pow
er" On the other hand, the opinion ex-
pressed by more than two-thirds of the
Democratic Convention at Chicago in
favor of removing all restrictions from
the coinage and the monetary efficiency
of the familiar silver dollar, represents
a conviction as sincere as it is passion
ate and intense. The Eastern bankers,
university professors and gold standard
editors who call Mr.. Bryan "blather-
skite" and place all the silver leaders
of the West and South in the general
category of anarchists and demagogues,
are in turn making the situation more
difficult by their mischievous folly. 1t
IS not merely a question of good man
ners or kindly forbearance. 1t is rather
a question of the only means by which
the better reason can be made to pre-
vail over the worse.

The charter-makers for Greater New
York" have completed the legislative
and executive chapters. The board has
unanimously reported in favor of in
vesting the Mayor of the new city with
the power TO appoint all subordinate
officers and heads of departments for
the city, save only the Office Of City
Auditor. Under this system, which is
no longer a theory, but has been dem
onstrated to be wise, the Mayor is held
all departments and the conduct Of all
sub-officials He is made the head of
the municipal government, and is
given the right to choose his own lieu
tenants without interference on the
part Of the legislative body This re-
fleets the consensus of the best thought
Of the age upon subjects of municipa!
government. That in the making of the
new charter for Sacramento the same
system was not adopted is a matter of
regret among all thoughtful citizens. 1t
is an axiom in the science Of municipal
government that any mingling of the
powers of legislative and executive re-
suits in evil. The two arms of govern
ment are intended to be independent
and distinct. If they are shorn in any
degree of these qualities they suffer in
jury, and there is set up an antagonism
that is hurtful. When power is given
to the legislative municipal body to clip
the authority of the executive or to
check and tie it up by refusing confirm
alton of its selection of its own staff,
prime purpose of municipal government
is defeated. All division of RESPONSE
aility weakens authority in a city. It's
concentration operates to strengthen
the official instrument and to command
respect for It,

James G.. Blaine delivered a speech
in the Senate in 1880, III which he de-
clared that the establishment of the
single gold standard would produce
widespread disaster. To be sure it
would. But who is asking that there be
q single gold standard? Assuredly. no
Republican; not one. The Republican
party is a bimetallic party-explicitly
Blaine, in that same speech, declared
that while the destruction Of silver as
money would be disastrous, that no one
then called for. just as none now call for
destruction He declared in that fa-
nous expression of statesmanHke views
that both gold and silver are money of
american people and that Congress
should demonetize neither. But Mr..
Blaine favored the enlargement Of the
volume Of silver money. The Record

did 1t favors the enlargement Of the

said Mr.. Blaine. So says the
Republican party. So says the Rec
ord Union" and while the party be-
lieves that so far as free and unlimited
coinage is concerned, 1t should be
brought about by international agree
ment, there is nothing in the platform
of the party to prevent it legislating to
the volume of the silver cur
rency without international agreement
for one way, according to the method
recently suggested by this paper. And
what is more, we believe that the party
of Blaine will do it, since we have shown
that it may be safely accomplished, and
