,rcr.snrIn,. Recommendation.


We should NOT be surprised If the recon-
I mendation made boy Gov McLaurin Of Mis-
sissippi. in a sDccia! 10 the legislature Of
that state. that gold contracts be prohib-
| tied. should be adopted. Both the COVER
nor and the legislature of Mississippi ap-
pear TO have gone daft on the silver ques-
ton However. no matter what course they
take there is no probability that what they
do viii influence other states.
Gov McLaurin's action is foolish in the
extreme. II his recommendation should he
adopted il wouldn't have the least effect
i'm settling the silver question. That ques-
ton cannot De settled in any such way as
he proposes. The history of unsound mon
ey crazcs with which this country has
been inflicted. is prolific OF just such non
sensical propositions as that which Gov.
McLaurin has submitted to the legisla-
ture Of his state. He ought to inform him
self in respect TO these propositions. He
would find that even those that We're
adopted were harmful rather than help
ful. No legislation can make people ac-
cept bad money when good money is OBJ
tainable. The very people who insist upon
forcing bad money upon the people are the
first to refuse it. Has it not been published
many times. and never denied, that Sena-
tor Stewart Of Nevada, the chief of the sill
verites. loans money only on gold con-
tracts? Mr.. Stewart calls out Justify day
after day in the Senate for free silver coin
age. but he doesn't want silver money for
himself. He wants it for the fellows who
are demanding cheap silver money in Mis-
sissippi and elsewhere If the coinage of
silver should be made free, and the pur-
chasing power of the silver dollar should
become only half of that of the gold dol
lar. Stewart and other shrewd silverites
would enforce their gold contracts and
laugh at their duDes.
We notice that the Atlanta Constitution
approves Gov. McLaurin's recommended
ton. In an editorial article in which it ex-
presses its approval it says: This would
be a good law, not only for Mississippi,
but for all the states. 1t would help put
an end TO the insidious effort that is now
being made to demonetize and discredit
the silver coin Of the United States"
So we are to understand that silver has
not yet been ''demonetized," but that an
effort is now being made" to demonetize
it, We are sure there are thousands of peo-
pie in this state who would be glad if the
Constitution would state who is making
the effort. We are sure the sound money
men are not making it. They are satisfied
to let silver occupy the position it now
occupies. and has been occupying for
more than a quarter of a century in this
country. Are the silver men making the
effort of which the Constitution speaks?

The years rolled by. The penniless
youth was now worth 100000. Once more
he fell into a deep sleep.

ulate 100000, how happy should be
How l could enjoy life! What power /
should possess! What influence what
authority! How men would look up TO
me, and admire me and seek my friend
ship. Truly, that would be happin ess,
greatness, joy!'
The millionaire dozed in his easy chair.
'Ah," he dreamed. could l but turn my

The Democratic Candidate.

There is a growing conviction among
democratic leaders that the nominee of the
democratic party for President will be
either Mr.. Whitney or Mr.. Carlisle In New
York the impression is strong that the in
fuence OF Nj Cleveland viii be used In
behalf of Mr.. Carlisle In the west. particu-
larly in Chicago. there Is a noticeable lean
ing towards Air. Whitney.
AS for Mr.. Cleveland. there isn't not
much room to doubt that he has definitely
made uD his mind 10 announce that ne is
not candidate as soon as he can do so
with dignity and a proper regard for his
own self respect. Il would not do for him
TO thrust himself upon the public with a
d tier TO the effect that ne has finally de-
cided not 10 be a candidate for a renomi-
nation. Nobody has asked him 10 stand for
a denomination. and until a favorable op-
portunity presents itself he must remain
silent. Mr.. Harrity. the chairman Of the
national democratic committee. in an in
terview. asserts that Mr.. Cleveland is no
longer TO be considered as a candidate. OF
course. Mr.. Harrity would not make any
such declaration if he was not certain of
the truth of it, The announcement is made
that Mr.. Cleveland has already decided
upon a long trip abroad which he viii un-
dertake as soon as he is released from the
cares Of Office.
Mr.. Whitney. as is well known, has an
nounced that he does not desire the nomi-
nation. 1t is believed. however, that he
would accept it if it should come to him
with anything like unanimity. He may be
considered the champion of international
bimetallism. When he returned from Eu-
rope some months ago. he expressed the
belief that at no very distant day there
would be an international conference on
the silver question, and that it would re-
suit in international bimetallism. Many
leading democrats and republicans express
the opinion that Mr.. Whitney's idea will
finally prove to be the solution of the sill
yer problem, and the thought is thrown
out that international bimetanism will be
the sum and substance of the silver plank
in the next national democratic platform.
Mr.. Carlisles views on the silver ques-
tion differ somewhat from those Of Mr..
Whitney. If he is not misunderstood he
approves the gold standard with the great
est possible use of silver under that stand
ard. The contention that there can be
but one standard is sustained by argu-
ments that have never yet been success
fully answered.
Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Carlisle are popu-
lar men. From present indications each
of them will have a strong following in the
national convention

They VIII Regret Their Action.

We shall be very much surprised If the
Baltimore Sun and those democrats who
helped to overthrow the democratic par
ty in Maryland and put the republican
party in power in that state do not regret
their action before another state election.
They said they wanted the state and city
government reformed. and they gave the
job of doing the reforming to the repub-
licans. They have already found out that
the republicans are not reformers. and
that, under their rule, there is likely TO
be much worse state of affairs than that
Of which they complained when the DEM
ocrats were in power. There was never
a party hungrier for the spoils of
office than the republican party and never
party that was so extravagant in
the use of the money contributed for pub
lie uses by taxpayers.
Some of the recent appointments in
Maryland show that in order to satisfy
the negro voters of their party
and retain their allegiance the re-
publicans are putting negroes in
positions formerly occupied by white
men. The appointment recently of a ne
gro to a school commissionership shows
what may be expected in Maryland from
that party. This negro school commits
sioner is making himself obnoxious by
advocating mixed schools.
We cannot say that we fully approve
all of the alleged methods of Senator Cor
man for getting and retaining power. but
we are sure that his rule in Maryland was
hundred times more acceptable to the
great majority of the democrats of that
state than the rule of the republicans is
proving to be. He is a leader of great
force and shrewdness and he has the good
of the state as well as of his party in
mind in all that he does or suggests. He
may have made mistakes as the leader
of his party in Maryland. but they were
not such serious ones as to justify the
leading democratic newspaper of Mary
land and many leading democrats in con-
demning him
There is one thing that can be relied up-
on. 1t is that at the next state election a
strong effort viii be made to give the con
troll of the states affairs to the democratic
party again. and it will be made under
the leadership of Senator German. He is
capable and has proved himself to be
worthy of the support and confidence of
every democrat in the country. Mary
land will be redeemed and by Senator
German.

The salary bill now before congress pre-
sents an interesting study. The congress
men have voted to cut down the salary
of the Presidents private secretary, prob
ably. for the purpose of getting in a blow
against the administration. At the same
time they desire to increase the compen-
sation of their own private secretaries
by making their salaries annual instead
of by the session. In this manner they
would provide permanent places for quite
a number of relatives and friends at the
governments expense. The increase that
would be made in the cost of clerks fer
congressman amounts to many thousands
of dollars a year. against which they pro-
pose to save something like $3.50 by re-
ducing the salary of the Presidents pri-
vate secretary. The Presidents private
secretary does not add anything to the
dignity and Importance of the congress
mans office; the. congressman's private
secretary does.

The congress of the United States finds
it an easy matter to attend to the affairs
of other nations but has shown itself
utterly incompetent to deal with our do
nestle affairs. The grave questions of a
deficiency in the public revenues and a
crippled currency. are pressing on us for
solution, and we acknowledge our inabil-
ity to master them. But we can reach out
and settle the affairs of other govern
ments with ease and dispatch.

PInNing Politics.

A Washington dispatch quotes a men,
Der of the House as saying: IF there had
been a republican President in the white
house the Cuban resolutions would not
have been introduced or passed. They
should not have been passed" The mem
Der who made this declaration voted, it is
said, for the resolutions.
From this It would, seem that the Cuban
resolutions were not based on sympathy
for Cuba, but were play in the game of
politics. A republican House and re-
publican Senate desired to make a little
political capital. They knew the President
wouldn't grant belligerent rights to the
Cuban insurgents even if the House and
Senate voted in favor of granting them.
They knew he could not do so without in
curing the risk of war with Spain, and of
arousing the hostility of Europe. But
they thought the passage of the resolu-
lions would increase the popularity of
the republican party and that the admin
istration and the democratic party would
suffer in popular estimation if the Pres
ident refused to give force and effect to
them. The democrats in congress think
ing the cause of Cuba was popular one,
felt they couldn't afford to antagonize the
republicans, and hence Joined them in
voting for the resolutions.
1t is fortunate for the country that the
man in the white house is gifted with
courage and common sense. If he, too,
were disposed to play politics it would be a
most unfortunate condition OF affairs for
the country.
