THE DANISH WEST INDIES.


One Of the planks Of the platform adopted
by the Republican national convention at
st. Louis pronouncesi in favor OF the acquisi
ton by purchase OF the Danish islends in
the West indies as coallng and naval sta
tionsfor the United States. Such acquisition
could hardly be regarded as expressive of
policy OF territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. for
these islands are but trifling in area. 1t
would be beginning, however. of estab-
fishing line Of outposts against hostile
fleets and of hase OF supplies for our
vessels. Besides it is to the interest OF
the United States to buy them, SO that they
may not fall into the hands of Great Britain,
which has already established a Gordon of
strongly fortified posts alcng or near our
coast line, 10th ON the Atlantic and Pa
cific sides.
Immediately after the conclusion OF the
civil war Secretary Seward, acting upon
the advice OF A dmiral Porter. entered into
negotiations with Denmark for hepurchase
of the islands, but the project had to be
abandoned on account OF the unwillingness
OF Congress to make the ne cessary grant of
money. Since then the purchase has been
urged several times, notably by Secretary
Blaine, but nothing has come of it. Two
of these islands, st. Thomas and st. John,
could then be bought for 81, ,5GO,C00 only
half million dollars more than wepaid for
Alaska, and it / S quite probable that the
price now would be the same. For Santa
Cruz Denmark asked $4.O00,O00 more. 1t
would be decidedly profitable investment,
whetherconsideredfr from strategicor COM
mercial point of view.
Though our navy is constantly growing
our facilities for giving it bases OF supplies
are as primitive as they were hundred
years ago. This condition should continue
no longer, and the purchase of the Danish
West Indies would make a good beginning
in the direction of more practical policy.

The Timesteditoriais ON the silver ques-
ton should be in the hands of every work

The larger part OF the wage earners OF
this city are employed by the government
directly or BY the District. Their ealaries
are fixed by law, and they would not be in
creased one cent by free cOinage.
Another large class of men are street car
employees and railroad men. Neither will

roads have bonds largely payable In gold;
and IL would be a great strain upon them
to pa y interest in gold and receive payment
in silver for freight and passengers. The
railroads would be more than likely to re-

coinage would not make any more passen-

wages.
The building trades, As carpenters, ma
sons, brickiayers, painters, etc., are depend
ent upon general prosperity for steady
work and good wages. Now, as Mr.. Bryan
admits himself that free silver would bring
on o general panic, you can readily see what
condition these trades would be In. Dur
ing panic there is very little building, as
people who have money want to hold on
TO it.
A very large number of people In Wash
ington are employed in stores. They are
dependent for employment in large meas
ure upon people in government employ.
Now, these government employees, having
Undergraduates and having TO pa ymore for
living, would have less to spend in stores.
Merchants would be compelled to reduce

they purchased would be increased n price.

were eager to have their favorite nominees
placed on the ticket, while the secretary,
w. D. Kingsbury, was also Kept busy tax
ing notes of the numerous motions and
counter otions made by the delegates.
The question of selecting Supervisors
from the numerous names suggested has
kept the convention somewhat back in the
other work before it.
After an hours debate as to the proper
course to pursue in selecting twelve men
out of the thirty-six submitted, it was
finally agreed that the committee take to-
day in pruning the list and presenting to
the convention tonight sufficient num-
Der of the best for final ratification. The
same course will be pursued with regard
to the School Directors.
In addition to the names already pub

poses of these two sehemers. Mr.. Gator and
those whom he controls IN the State Commit
tee have gone into plan by which the POpu-
lists gave up every Senatorial district in the
State at this election, when they could have
carried six or seven, and this makes 1t impos-
sible to have Populist Legislature for at least
four years.
In addition to this the principles of Popu-
ilsm are naturally opposed 10 permitting coIn-
mlttees to override or usurp functions OF rep
resentative conventions OF the people; and
while II is the privilege of candidate to vol
UNFAIRLY withdraw any attempt to force him
10 do SO in the absence OF specific charges is
not only outrageous and indecent bur is OPP
posed 10 every principle for which the Popul1st
party exists.
There is not the slightest question as to the
trade between White and Gator. Ihave it on
the best of authorization the lips of Thomas
" Gator himself. Populists are very much
opposed to the idea OF giving uD the entire
State Senate. We could nave elected Sena-
tor IN mum Der OF districts, aud then in two
years-We would stand in good position TO
elect People's party Legislature. While we
are anxious TO elect PopullSt United States
Senator there ls great deal of important leg
lststion that the POpulists hope to accomplish
Tor them to elect the State Government two
years from now. But by lessening the chances
OF electlng Q few members now it Will be four
years before they can hope to control the SEN
ate: ate: Thus, by reason OF Gators selfish ambi- l
interests OF the party.
Considerable indignation exists among
Populists in the First District regarding
the conduct Of Chairman Wardail and
Secretary Bush. They say that Wardall
draws a salary of 500 per month, which
is a big salary for him, for supper ing
Populist candidates, and that he is spend
ing the income OF the First Congressional
District in supporting Cutler, the Demo-
cratic candidate.
Monteith's friends say hat Bush draws
down SIS per month in gold at 81 to l, the
same kind OF coin in which Mr.. Wardall
is paid, and that one of Mr.. BUSES multi
farious duties is to get the County Com
mirtee to pay for Cutters hail rent. This
leaves nothing to pay for Monteith's hall
rent.
The Popuiists of the district are assessed
20 cents apiece for the purpose of furnish
support the candidates of the party, yet
the money is used for Democrats. One or
two counties in the district have declared
that they will not send any more money
to the State committee to be spent on
Democratic candidates. The only thing
the Populists OF that district have to fight
for now is the Congressman, and they
don't propose to have their hard-earned
silver and gold dollars used in assisting
the enemy under the cloak of fusion.
One hundred honest dollars per month
seem to most Populists to be a princely
salary, much more than the average farm
earns, and they do not see why this money
should be expended on Democrats while
the Democrats have a State Central Com
mittee and fund of their own.

COWS WON'T Be KILLED
The Tuberculin Test Ordinance
Vetoed by the Mayor
of Oakland.
Davie Speaks From Experience Re-
garding Wild Oats and Fcxtails
in Cows Threats.

OAKLAND. CAL, Sept. 24.-The or
dinance providing for a tuberculin test of
all dairy cattle was vetoed by Mayor Davie
to-day, who said in his message to the
Council:
81 did not fully believe in the test and
was not convinced by any means by the
post-mortem held on DR.. Wheeler's cow.
Foxtails and wild oat heads will cause
the same throat trouble which was found
in the victim for autopsy. know this
from practical experience.
IF this test law is necessary it should
be enacted by the State Legislature, and
to post one it until next winter will
cause but little if any harm.
by having the State act the City would
bly, avoid all expense for commits
sion should it be appointed 10 make the
test. The dairymen will surely complain
if the law is enacted, and suits for
damages Will be the result. 1t is Just as
well to have them brought against the
State as to have Oakland the party de-
fendant."
