Physicians Announce After q Consultation
That Bishop Wingfeid Cannot
Recover

BENICIA, CAL, May 25.-The condition
of Bishop Wingfield continues very critical.
A consultation was held by Drs. Downing
and Williamson this evening and the de-
cision was that there was scarcely any
hope for their patient. 1t may be possible
for him to survive few days, but death
might come within few hours.
The Bishops wife, the only one of the
family here at present, has telegraphed
East for their daughter to come as soon as
posi- BILE. kilograms have been arriving
from all over the country expressing
sympathy.

Some Democrats Say There Is No Danger
of His Being Nominated.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-The
latest statement of Ex-Governor Campbell
that he would accept the nomination at
Chicago. even on a silver platform, but
that he does not want the honor ut all,
creates no comment and little interest at
the Capitol. The silver men, from con-
versations with some of them this morn
ing, view the announcement indifferently.
Their feeling may be summed up in the
remark of Representative Terry of Arkan-
sas, who said: "There is no danger that
Mr.. Campbell will be nominated. We
will nominate silver man."
The majority of the others seen did not
care to have their names used, as they did
not want to offend so good and popular a
Democrat as Campbell, hut they said that
a straight silver man would be the nomi-
nee. Ex-Governor Campbell's ideas on
international bimetalllsm do not suit any
of them.

NEVADA oITY,s HEROINE.
Mrs. Belle Douglass Resoues a Dro,Un
ing Child.

NEVADA CITY, CAL. May 25.-A
woman's presence of mind yesterday
saved Matilda Appel, aged IL years, from
drowning. While out walking with Mrs.
Belle Douglass the child climbed to the
top of knoll in the old Hirschman hv-
draulic claim and then ran swiftly down
the other side, at the foot of which was
deep reservoir.
Her speed was so great that she could
not stop, but plunged into the water,
which was or feet deep.
Mrs. Douglass saw the child's peril and,
glancing quickly about her, espied a willow
pole which had been used for fishing
rod. The girl was about to sink the second
time, when the pole was passed to her.
She grasped it and was pulled to the shore
and lifted out.

A Temple of Justice.

Intent upon an endeavor to do that which
must sooner or later come to pass, Senator
Morrill, is once more on record as anxious
of the square north Of the Congressional
Library and east of the Capitol, so that on
the site thus secured there may be erected
building devoted to the Supreme Cour. of
the United States. Such proposition has
been advanced many times but it has never
gone beyond the stage of a favorable report
from the Senate Committee on Public
buildings and Grounds There is however,
dual and pressing demand which may
result In legislative progress. The Senate
needs more room but it does not need 1t
haIf as much as does the Supreme Court
The present session of Congress may not
authorize such an appropria ton as will be
required to inaugurate the plan for which
Senator Morrill, is now sponsor but in the
session to come there is likely to be more
hberaIty- Perhaps it is possible to secure
the preparatory legislation now-.ne appro-
prlation being postponed until after the
election-and if that possibility presents
itself Senator Morrill, may be depended
upon to seize it. The senior Senator from

A Deliverance From yer,pu,

That dear creature. the Duke of veragua.
has been gossiping again; this time about
the somewhat disturbed relations between
Spain and the United States because of
the Cuban revolution 1t will, of course,
be remembered that the Duke of Verasua
visited this country during the Columbian
celebration. and was made much of De-
cause he is a lineal descendant Of Christie
pher Columbus, who, having discovered
CUBA and some of the adjacent territory
cuts figure in Spanish-American history
Just how much light the duke was ex-
pected to throw on the situation does not
appear. but it is recorded that a newspaper
correspondent was accorded an interview
with His Grace at No. Gale San Mateo
Madrid. which the same is the dukes resi-
dence when he Is not visiting his friends.
Ihe correspondent assures US that "con-
trary to the American idea of such inter-
views, there was nothing stilted or formal
about the whole affair. On the contrary.
His Grace was affabilitV ITSELF" How de-
hghtful An informal conversation beside
IN antique table," with probably nothing

between the two parties except the ducal
headgear through the medium Of which
His Grace imparts his views on matters Of
great import
After denouncing the suspended action Of
Congress as ''the insult Of the century the
duke comforted himself by saying that
''even though war should come between
Spain and the United States. and even were
1t possible that, as q result. the Spanish
nation should be wiped OF the face Of the
earth, still the name Of Spain would never
be forgotten. but would go down through
history revered and respected as long as
there were such place as America, with
the benign shadow of q Columbus upon 1t.
do not believe that even the American
Senators had forgotten in the excitement
of the moment what their nation owes to
Spain" The dukes argument is an extra
ordinary one, and as absurd as it is ex-
traordinary. America does not owe Spain
anything. Spanish greed resulted in the
rediscovery of this continent, and Spanish
greed was repaid a millionfold for all 1t
invested. What America is it became in
spite of, and not with the assistance of,
Spain. At no period in our history have
Spanish influences worked in any other
way than to retard the progress of true
civilization.
We who have been reading Of Spanish
atrocities in Cuba-invariably denied by the
Spanish authorities-will hardly be sur
prised to find the duke a defender of Wey-
lerism. He says 'it Is unjust to think that
the malefactors and half-civilized forces
led by Maceo should be considered in the
same light as Spanish troops. The Spanish
soldiers sent to Cuba are disciplined, and,
as a rule, educated men. To suppress the
insurrection vigorous methods must be
used. General Weyler proclaims this idea"
Recognition Of insurgent belligerency is.
Of course, impossible, because the insur-
gents have not, so His Grace declares, any
organized army or seaport or effective ad-
ministration of any kind; but Veragua
makes no effort to explain Spanish ina
hility to crush the rebellion or even to pre-
vent the landing of munitions of war on
the island.
The duke is much too sensitive as to
some matters and not sensitive enough as
to others. If the scheme to pension him for
life with American dollars had ever
amounted to anything he would have had
less to say about 1.-The insult of the GEN.
tury."

N0n-Partisau Finance.

The great labor meeting appointed to take
place in Chicago on the 18th proximo. and
at which Secretary Carlisle will deliver an
address on the money question, may prove
the forerunner of state of things at which
the whole country would have reason to re-
5oice. The meeting is to be non-partisan in
character. Republicans, democrats, popu-
lists, will participate without regard to divi-
sions on questions strictly political. The
desire Is to hear the money question stated
In non-psrtiSan way, and by man rec
ognized authority on the subject The
invitation to MIR. Carlisle, therefore, did not
grow out of his en.iEeEce democratic
leader, was it intended to express, for
or against, an opinion on any financial act
of the present administration. HIS duties
as the financial officer Of the government
have afforded him opportunities for study
ing the money question in all of its impor
tant bearings, and the views so formed are
the ones the labor organizations have ex-
pressed a desire to hear him state from the
standpoint of a fnancier rather than from
that of a party leader. And it is in this
spirit that Mr.. Carlisle has accepted the in
vitation, and will deliver the desired ad-
dress.
1t Is to be hoped that the Chicago meet
ing may inaugurate series of such meet
ings, and that representative men Of all
parties and representing the different views
on the question may be invited to address
them The money question, in it's proper
analysis, is not a political question, and
should not be permitted to become device
for trading, or subject for heated partisan
discussion, in 2 national campaign All the
people are vitality interested in just and
wise solution of it. and this can only pro-
ceed from calm and thoughtful discussion
of it. Thu parties of course will handle it,
and make it serve party ends as far as pos
slble. but if prior to the holding of the ma
tional conve entions the great governing
masses shall have been reached by deliver
hnces addressed to their reason and their
business il terests rather than to their par
tisan zeal and prejudices, the effect will be
of a beneficial character en- the platform
builders at st. Louis and Chicago. The
work done there will be the better for the
knowledge that it Is to be examined and
passed upon by a thoroughly awakened and
Instructed popular interest and intelligence
Men WHO labor are in the majority in this
country. Their voice when expressed con-
trolls the country. The money question Is
and should be everything to them. The de-
plorabie effects of weakened public credit
would fall first and heaviest upon them
This manifestation on their part, therefore,
of desire to hear from n of recognized
authority on the subject in non-partisan
spirit is one upon which the country, with
every reason. may congratulate ITSELF Let
silver men, sound money men. all be heard,
and no man then shall be justified in quar-
reling with the verdict.
