ST. LOUIS. July 25.-After all "the
golden bowl is broken"
Bryan is nominated and his election
seems to be assured. Everybody ad-
mits that the convention that did the
work was composed Of the most furious
fighters that ever assembled as polit-
ical convention. The work was con-
test from beginning to end. There will
probably be no bolt. Some few delegates
are In halfway bolting mood. but they
I want concessions and little else. The
pie counter was not offered as an in
ducement here and will not be offered
hereafter.
After Bryan's manly attitude was
known the convention did not ask him
for pledges Of any kind. They know
him and love him.
The opposition to Sewall was tremen-
dous and 1t was impossible to overcome
It. Many think that he will decline to
run, in order to leave a clear field for the
allied forces that are moving toward
the little Napoleon and his sham Water
loo.

The old adage. the devil finds work
for idle hands to do" is well exempli-
fed in the present disgraceful Con-
gress. which started out with the avow-
ed intention of doing nothing.
The little this Congress has done has
been mischievous in effect and inten-
ton. It has blocked needed currency
legislation and done all in its power to
hamper the administration in its effort
to preserve the credit of the nation,
simply to carry out its programme Of
political hocus-pOcus. The partisans in
Congress. despite the evidence that no
more revenue is needed and that the
rapid decline in the pension list will
soon leave a large surplus in the treas
ury. give the country a vicious tariff
bin framed TO rob the people in the
interest of monopoly, under the guise
of a revenue measure.
The real purport Of the Reed-Dingley
bill is as clear as if the agreement be-
tween the Republican politicians in
Congress and the Trusts had been seal
ed. signed and delivered. BY this mute
agreement the parties of the first part
offer to increase the bounties to mon
opoly by an increase of 10 per cent in
tariff duties. on condition that the par
ties Of the second part shall contribute
from the profits thus extorted from the
people sufficient sums of money for the
approaching Republican campaign for
President and Congress. Whether
passed or not. the Reed-Dingley bill is
a foretaste only of what the country
might expect should the wild hunt of
the combination of politicians and
Trusts for spoils prove successful.
Despite the obstacle in the Senate, the
Republican leaders still profess a
strong desire to put this bill of abom-
nations under the nose of President
Cleveland. They could not afford him
a more signal opportunity to serve the
country by an exercise of the veto pow
er. The chance of putting a stroke Of
his pen through such a legislative in
iquity would only be another instance
of Mr.. CIeveland's marvellous political
luck"

A GOLDEN AGE.

A Boston contemporary is of opinion
that the currency question will soon
settle itself owing to the increased out
put of gold, and points out that the
great bankers already talk of coming
gold imitation" The world will turn
out $2OO,OOO,OOO OF the yellow metal
this year. and most of it will go into
the circulation.
The entire rockribbed section of the
continent. from Alaska to Cape Horn,
abounds in gold In many localities
it is described as being so plentiful That
one may stand and see it.
Mining can hardly be called a skilled
industry. and when the barbarian
hordes become seized with the craze Of
digging foritin Africa, North and South
America, the production will be enor-
nous.
Then we shall realize a golden age.
There will, perhaps, be no more cur
rency disputes. and an era of good times
will dawn such as the world never saw
before.
This is the forecast presented by
Banker Clews, Senator Teller and other
competent lookers-on. The golden age
is being transformed from a myth to
a reality.

1NrERNAr1oN NAL ARBITRATION


It is thought in some quarters that a
treaty providing for general arbitra-
ton Of all disputes with Great Britain
will be an ideal attainment. Of course
it would be death to the jingoes, for it
would remove nearly all their capital.
They could not possibly fire the heart
of the people against any othernation,
TO a similar extent, and, indeed, we are
in a state of embarrassing harmony
with other nations which gives them
no opportunity for invoking the war
spirit, except it be with Spain, and
there is reason to hope the differences
here will not be created. In money
point of view, the economy of the step
would be a desirable acquisition. The

penditure Of s475OO 900 in one year for

for four first-class battleships, eight
cruisers and seventy "destroyers' or
cruising torpedo boats. The British
lion seems to be arming himself against
a sea of trouble, and is evidently in no
mind to be taken by surprise should
the deluge come.

ton of the Fourteenth street organ
and its fiat desertion of the Elkins can
didate. Hon. VIM. NJ. o. Dawson, who
stands a trife higher in the 8. o. p. in
West Virginia than does even the truly
good Wesley Atkinson, in addition to
having the backing Of Mr.. Elkins'
mighty barrel, and the power of the
craftsmanship of the Republican State
Executive Committee. 1t strikes us
that the esteemed Intelligencer has
undertaken no small job in its effort
to turn down Mr.. Dawson together with
everybody else in the Republican party
who may have the temerity TO dispute
the nomination with Mr.. Atkinson.
But the fun is yet to come. The
Wheeling InteHigencer may ignore the
candidacy Of any other Republican, but
that doesn't keep the other Republic
cans. particularly Mr.. Dawson, out of
the field. though it may bar them from
notice in the organ. At last accounts
Mr.. Dawson was still in the ring and
not a bit disfgured, having positively
refused to be knocked down with the
Atkinson club. His candidacy is the
outcome of the Atkinson contingent
wanting to hog all the persimmons.
Mr.. Ellins at the outset made prop
osition that if Atkinson should be given
the nomination for Governor the Sec
rotary of State plum should go to Mr..
Dawson. This was refused. Hence
Dawson's candidacy for the Governor
ship itself. in opposition to Mr. Akin
son. And Mr.. Dawson is probably a
triAe stronger with the men who will
fix up the Republican slate than is the
good and lovely George Wesley-even
though his candidacy is barred from
recognition in the columns of the chief
Republican organ in the State. Deyel-
opments promise to be interesting.
