On Friday morning last the New York
World asked Candidate Mckinley: care
you willing to guarantee, as far as
candidate can, that if you are elected
the present monetary standard of the
United States shall be permanently main
tained?'' Some hours later the candl-
date made answer: s'Give my compli-
ments to the World; but l have nothing
to say"
Nothing to say! OF course, Mr.. Nc
Kinley has nothing to say with so many
Western delegates yet to be secured! A
a matter of fact, he has never had any
thing to say, or he could not have played
the Sphynx SO successfully now. But
he ought to have something to say.
This is the judgement of many senators
and representatives, of his party, whose
views made nearly column in the New
York Herald of recently, and who right
ly hold that it is the duty of every can
didate to let his country know where he
stands.
Even Senator Sherman has felt that
the candidate ought to open mis- mouth; F;
and he has made two attempts to be his
oracle which has been most ludicrously
at variation with each other. The New
York World will get nothing out of Nc
Kinley; for if he ever had thought of
his own upon the currency question he
has skilfully concealed it from his fel-
lowmen beyond the keenest scrutiny OF
interviewers. But our enterprising New
York contemporary should not he de
TERED. 1t should go ahead and put it
questions to the candidates; for McKin-
ley's shyness or cowardice may yet cost
him the nomination at st. Louis and
throw the prize to one among his rivals
| in the field.

His Little scheme Tailed.

Bucyrus, o, May 3-The old light
ming rod swindle, which has caught so
many persons in past years, ran up
against a Crawford county man this
week and went broke. A man appeared
at the home of George Kerr, south of
Bucyrus, and wanted to put lightning
rods on his farm buildings and produced
a contract, in which it was made to ap
pear the rods would be put up at a total
cost of SO. Mr.. Kerr signed the con-
tract, but kept it. The man appeared
with several loads of material and pro-
ceeded to arrange to put up rods by the
dozen. Mr.. Kerr, who had consulted a
lawyer, asked him by whose authority
he went to work. The man replied he
had a contract. Mr.. Kerr insisted on
his showing the contract, which he was
not able to do, whereupon Mr.. Kerr in
formed him that he could go ahead and
wire the buildings at S10 as he had
agreed, or leave. The smooth individ-
ual seeing he had been beaten left
The contract was so worded that each
point would cost the farmer S25, max
ing the total cost about 5000.

Washington, ID. C., May Minister
Ransom reports from Mexico tn It Ches-
Ter W. Roe, the embezzling county treas
urer of Powershick county, Iowa, has
been convicted of bringing stolen prop
erty into the Republic and sentenced to
II years imprisonment, to pay a fine
of 81, 900 (all he had left of the embez-
zled money!, and to forfeit his recently
acquired Mexican citizenship.
OS fleeing to Mexico, Roe became nat
uralized through the purchase of prop
erty, and when the state department
asked for his extradition the request was
refused on the ground that the embezzler
was a Mexican citizen.
Some sharp letters were sent TO the
Mexican authorities, but they remained
obdurate, promising, however, to bring
Roe to trial on the charge of which he
has now been convicted. Roe's broth
er, who went with him to Mexico, and
who did not become a citizen of that
country, was handed over to the Iowa
authorities for trial as an accessory in

NEWPORT, Ky May 6.-The most SEN

cy. Seward voluntarily came to Nelson

the effect that he had procured Trustc

mony which Truste gave. Seward made
this offer with the request that he be
freed from punishment for his act in
consideration of his confession. Colonel
Nelson has not yet determined what
course he will pursue in the case.

weeks having been spent in examining

SENATOR TELLER in his late eye-open-
ing speech. SAYS the Philadelphia Record,
confirmed the statement of Senator
Jones, of Nevada, made three years ago,
that the Sherman Silver Purchase act
was the price paid by the Protectionlsts
in l $50 to secure favorable vote In the
sen ate Oh the NJ, kinleytarIff bill The
privilege of robbiug the propie at tie
custom houses was secured by one
publican faction through a CONCESSION TO
the other faction of the privilege OF rob
hing the people at the doors of the mint
Ii is probably remembrance OF tht
success of this scandalous dicker which
now seals the lips of Mckinley on the
money issue. Should Republican
president and Republican majority In
the house of representatives, be chosen
at the forthcoming November election
the attempt to revise the tariff in the in
terest of clamoring beneticiaries would
encounter precisely the same obstacle
which it encountered In 1890 All rev
enue legislation would be at the mercy
of the senators from the silver states.
As president, Mckinley would be able
to make no delivery of tariff spoil to his
hackers withoutthe aid of Teller, Carter,
Dubois, Cannon, Jones and other gen
emen from the mining camps, who
would hold the keys to protective legIs-
lation in their hands, and who would
retain control of the situation for the
four years of the next presidential term.
In the light of these facts the talk OF
protection and bimetallism" and the
sphin1-like attitude of the Ohio Napo-
leon Oh the silver question are self ex-
planatory. The silver gentry have the
whiphand in the game; and they know
it. They do not disguise their intention
to use their power for all it is worth tC
| them.
The protected manufacturers, who ar
called upon to furnish the fat neces
rary for campaign purposes, when the
consider the disastrous consequences t
the country wnich resulted from the bal
gain of 1890, and the impossibility {
procuring future tariff legislation exceE
it be accompanied by the free coinage c
silver, will think twice before they pu
their hands in their pockets.
The country wants industrial peac
and sound money great deal mor
than it wants Mckinley, with his FIRE
silver commitments.
