VIII TIE ISSUE DE ,rsxtsLnlrsm /:

There are many presidential candi-
dates in the Republican party seeking
the presidential nomination. but Major
Mckinley is easily first. Other can
didates are mentioned, he is discussed.
His claims to recognition at st. Louis
at the hands of his party rest solely
upon the fact that in 1890 he was
chairman of the house ways and means
committee that brought in the tariff
bill which bore his name. Whatever
there was of merit or demerit in the
measure, it was placed to his credit.
Two years after its passage the law
was repudiated by the people, and the
party that was responsible for it was
turned out Of power. The Democrats
came into power, and they in turn
were turned out. Does this latter fact
plainly indicate that the people want
a restoration of McKinleyism? If they
do, then Mckinley will be the nom
inee of the St Louis convention, and
no coalition of other candidates against
him can defeat him. If they do not
want a restoration of Mchinleyism,
then it will be almost impossible to
nominate Mckinley. Ever since the
present congress met, the great issue
before the people has been the financial
one. On this the Ohio mans position
is not well Defined he is pronounced
for nothing, he IS pronounced against
nothing. Herein lies a great danger
to his candidacy, for this year OF all
others the presidential candidate of
each of the great parties must be alb
solutely unequivocal in his declara-
tons on the money question. The Nc
Kinleyites want to put that to one
side as an issue and force protection
to the front The signs on the politi-
cal horizon indicate that this cannot be
done

EX-GOVERNOR CAMPBELL.

Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio is one
of the choicest men in the Democratic
party. Brilliant, upright aggressive,
clean: but like many other men pos
sessed of similar qualities, it is posi-
bic for him TO be mistaken, and un-
questionably he is mistaken-gone
clear wrong, in fact, on the question of
American finance. In an interview the
other day on the political situation. ne
frankly characterized both the extreme
gold men and the extreme silver men
as cranks. He expressed himself as
being of the opinion that the two par
ties, as Democrats and Republicans,
have really no differences on the money
question; that the Republican financial
plank will be straddle; that extreme
Republican silver men will bolt the
st. Louis convention and lose the party
enough states to throw the election
into the house. Questioned as to his
own views on the money question he
replied:
Il want International free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 1515 TO J.. / con-
much wrong on one side as / believe
single silver standard men on the
other l am opposed to our country
going ahead alone and coming silver
free. No one nation can do it and sur
vive, but the United States. Germany
and France could do it without En-
glands cooperation. With an inter
national agreement all troubles with
the money question would vanish, and
l expect to live TO see such an arrange
ment effected
In reality there are no single silver
standard men, in the United States.
Ex-Governor Campbell presents a
sound money deduction in this re-
mark as an actual fact. That is to
say, it is claimed by the advocates of
the single gold standard. and in
ternational bimetallists, that if our
minis were thrown open to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold. the result would be that since
412is grains of standard silver, the
amount of silver in a dollar, would be
of less value than 25.S grains of gold,
the amount of gold in one dollar.
that the cheaper money would drive
from circulation the more valuable
money until the country would be re-
duced to the single silver standard.
This deduction, we repeat, Ex-Governor
Campbell states as a fact, by referring
to those who favor free coinage of
silver and gold as single silver stand
ard men" The friends of free coinage
of silver deny that this would be at
least a permanent condition. While it
might be for time that the amount
of silver in circulation would exceed
the amount of gold, yet the time would
come, and come quickly, when. under
the influence of natural forces, both
gold and silver would circulate side by
side, checking and balancing each other
in such a way as to produce stability of
ratio to each other, and a universal
measure of value, with the least pos
sible variation
Mr. Campbell says that with interna-

ed. We are of opinion. since the ex-
governor of Ohio is a man of but mid
die age, that he will live to see such
an agreement established, but we also
believe that the way to international
bimetallism is not through waiting for
the cooperation of European nations,
but by the United States acting for
themselves. opening the minis to the
unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver, and by their example lead the
way to International bimetallism.

Homer sometimes mods and great
politicians sometimes make mistakes.
Speaker Reed made one when the pres
ent congress met in December. Walter
Wellman tells the story in the Chicago
Times Herald. When the speaker be-
gan arranging the committees there
was man from Maryland who did
not impress the speaker as having
any particular force or ability and who
was unknown to the big man from
Maine. This man wanted to be a
member of the banking and currency
committee and that was all he did
want. He let his modest wish be
known in a modest way, says Well
man, but Mr. Reed put him on the
District of Columbia committee and
placed another Marylander, new
member, on the banking committee.
Some weeks later that little weazen-
faced congressman, Wellington by

that he was the acknowledged leader

story of Nicodemus. a Prize Cat.


The biggest joke of the season SEEMS
to be on the judges of the New York
cat show. Nicodemus was one of the cats
entered in the competition. Nicodemus
had been an ordinary, everyday Bowery
cat until a wealthy family took a fancy
to the animal. In the entry Nicodemus
was named as a. male cat, 3 years and
months old. In this guise Nicodemus
appeared in class No. 2, for Tables, and
the price of the animal was put at
$3.50. That was the price set down in
the official catalogue and the owners
testimony was given to show that Nico-
demus was one of the best-cats alive. 1t
took a prize last year, and another
prize was awarded to Nicodemus at this
years show. But, alas. before the formal
presentation was made this time the
judges felt called upon ~ reconsider
their award, and it was revoked. The
trouble appears to have been that Nico-
demus turns out to be not that kind of
a cat. 1t should have been named Fannie,
or some such sweet. feminine name

In and out Of congress a good deal
has been said as to whether a state
Of war exists in Cuba. whether it
does, as contemplated by International
law. is a question of fact and not of
theory. It has been positively asserted,
and as positively denied, that the Gu
bans are not carrying on the war ac-
cording 10 the rules Of war as recog-
nized by nations. On this point the
opinion of General Wesley Merritt is
of interest. He was in New York the
other day and was asked the ques-
zion: Are the Cubans carrying on
war in the proper way?" to which he
replied: Eyes, I suppose so. AS said,
1 did not take much interest in the
rebellion at first, because I supposed
Spain would settle ii during the winter.
'rhe plan of the Cubans to refuse to
risk all in pitched battle is, of course,
wise. Their present method Of Guiding
and harrassing the Spanish troops is
calculated to prolong the war;

CALIFORNIA GOLD.

There is a revival of gold mining in
California that promises some very big
results. Last year the gold produc-
ton of the state amounted to some
thing more than fifteen million dollars.
The San Francisco Call says it is
within the bounds of reason and prob
ability that California will. within the
year 1896, add to the worlds stock of
gold from $2O,OO0,OOO to $SC,OO0,OO0. The
statement is very optimistic, but it is
not so exaggerated that facts may not
warrant it.
There has been a great impetus given
to gold mining throughout the world
in the past few years In 1895 the to-
tai product of gold was something over
5000, 10000 and it is confidently eXpec-
ted that this years product will even
exceed that enormous sum by some
forty or fifty millions. That California
will contribute her share, there is little
doubt. But no matter what her
production Of the precious metal may
be in the future the romance of the
days of 40 and the sos can never come
back any more than the Indian and
the buffalo, the buccaneer and the
pirate. There will be no more going
round the Hora or across the isthmus
to the land of gold and glory. And
the methods Of mining will be as
changed as other things. No matter
how fondly the memory fingers on
those days, the future will be better
than the past, but the scenes of 40
will live forever in the books of Bret
Harte. Yet what a world of romance
is conjured up by those words, Cali
