FREE SILVER IN MEXICO.

Low Wages and High Prioes-An EN-.
gineer's Experience.
The friends of free silver try to per-
suade us that it would not matter if the
United States did go on a silver basis
and was reduced to the same condition
as Mexico (as it would be), "because,"
they say, labor in Mexico is very high
ly paid" Is it? That is what corre-
spondent of Dixie, the southern news
paper, writes from Mexico-and no one
will claim that Dixie is gold bug organ
or is interested in misleading railway
men, The correspondent writes
was amused at the way one of the
conductors with whom talked referred
to his salary / asked him what his po-
sition was worth. We'll" he said,
"that's pretty hard question to an
swer. When the month is up the pay
master hands me out 100 Mexican dol
lars, and il depends upon what the mar
ket price of these dollars happens to be
ON that particular day as to what amount
have earned during the month. Some
times the dollars are worth 55 cents
each, sometimes 80 cents each, some
times more or less but the truth of it
is never know what have earned un-
til investigate and learn the market
quotations on Mexican dollars"
"Well," ! said, chow do your ex-
penses in Mexico compare with expenses
that you would have in the United
States?"
MY expenses in Mexico are greater"
he said. "For while was on the up
per end of the road and boarded at San
Antonio, Tex. There I paid $iS per
month board. Now / am boarding in
Torreon and pay $40 per month board
in Mexican money. But what goes the
hardest with me is that have to pay so
much for wearing apparel. If could
wear what is made here in Mexico l
could get it very cheaply, but have to
buy American shirts, American shoes
and hats, and, indeed. practically every
thing l wear comes from the United
States.
"They don't manufacture articles of
a character here in Mexico suitable for
our use. so when buy pair of shoes
l have to pay double value and duty
| added. That makes this pair of shoes
that am wearing worth 81 80 in Mexi-
can money, and ! could buy the same
shoes in Texas for S2 80 or So. The same
is true about everything that l wear,
and I'll tell you the truth, friend. when
I've paid my board and settled for the
things that I've been compelled to buy
during the month I wouldn't be well

ing Bryan and Sewall.
The Chicago platform manifests a
clear purpose to procure a reversal Of
the income tax decision by appointing
new judges who will vote for such re.
versal.
Under the Bryan regime the federal
judges are to be selected not with sole
reference to character and fitness and
legal ability, but with reference to their
opinions, ascertained in advance, con.
cerning the most important questions Of
law!
Mr.. Bryan is the declared enemy Of
the federal judiciary. "Plutocracy," he
says, sis intrenched behind our judicial
system" We believe the truth to be
very different. We are convinced that
administration of justice in this country
rich. But, howeverit it may be in regard
to other tribunals, the supreme court Of
the United States is free from reproach
in the estimation of all mankind save
the followers of Bryan. It was re-
served for them to try to tarnish its fair
fame.

THE RIGHT THING.

The senate committee OH foreign re-
lations has mada a new de rarture in
agreeing upon substitute for it's pre-
vious resolution relating to the war
in Cuba. It's first preposterous recon-
mendation was that the United States
should request the Spanish authorities
to accord to the revolutionary party in
Cuba the rights of belligerents. This
would have been both offensive and
absurd; and have subjected Us TO
sharp and humiliatine reprimand from
the government of Spain. The sub
stitute proposes a concurrent resolution
declaring that lii the opinion of con-
gress state Of war exists between
Spain and the republican government
set up by the insurgents in Cuba, ac-
cords to the latter the rights of bellig-
erents and atfirms that the United
States should observe Il position of
strict neutrality between the contend
ing powers. This is entirely within
the competence of our national legislat-
ure, and has the virtue of placing US in
the position Of minding our own bust
ness. The conflict in Cuba has now
continued long enough, and with suffi-
cient advantage on the side of the
revolutionists to warrant recognition
of them by this nation as belligerents.
It will remain an open question wheth-
er such action on our part will be more
helpful or hurtful to them.
It is no secret that the Cuban
patriots have relied largely upon re-
Inducements and supplies of money
and munitions of war contributed by
their sympathizers in this country
While it is true that all such aid has
been rendered surreptitiously, still a
formal recognition by this government
would impose on us the duty of guard
ing still more effectua1ly against any
such contributions in the future There
Is no question that the public senti-
ment of our people is decidedly on the
side of the Cuban insurgents. We are
entirely within our rights in recognize
ing them as pelligerents if we see fit
requires us in that case to declare a
position Of strict neutrality, and to OBJ
serve it in the Strictest and most lit
eral sense. Tie time has now come
when this action would seem to be well
advised on our part. It is more consist

Greeted Their New Pastor.

a most enjoyable social event in
church circles took place at the Cen
trail Presbyterian church last evening,
when the congregation rendered
charming reception to the newly in
stalled pastor, Rev. A. B. Meldrum and
his wife. The church pariors were
prettily decorated for the occasion, and
the Mccoy Mandolin club rendered
sweet music while the large company
engaged in the pleasant social duties
and pleasures of the evening. Nearly
every Presbyterian minister in the city
was present and joined the large con-
gregatiOn in welcoming the new pastor
and his wife to their midst. During
the early portion of the evening Mr.
and Mrs. Medium occupied one por-
ton of the room, continuously receiv-
ing the best wishes and hand shakes of
the assembled guests. Two side rooms
where refreshments were served were
handsomely appertenanced in yellow
and pink colored lights lending their
beauty to the pleasing effect The re-
ception committee, consisted of Mes
danes Smith, Osgood, Siminton, Schrei-
Der, Kendrick, Shaw and the Misses
McClung and Huff.

GEN. GIBBON DEAD.

The news Of the sudden death of Gen.
Gibbon yesterday afternoon will come
with the shock Of surprise to an army
Of those who esteem and admire him
throughout the country This will be
especially true in ST. Paul, where he
was to have been the guest of the
Loyal Legion at it's meeting next week,
and where so many had anticipated the
pleasure of meeting once more the loyal
soldier and the cherished friend. The
record of Gen. Gibbon is a long and
noble one. Scanning the list of his
services to his country, one realizes
now as he could not at an earlier day
the greatness of the period and of the
men of whom he was one of the most
honored survivors. Always the soldier
and the gentleman, it mattered not to
him what the field Of duty or the enemy
that he had to face. The hosts of the
rebellion and the Indian in his fast
nesses were met with the same splendid
courage, and the same willingness to
give everything at his countrys call
that distinguished this man whose
memory his couhtrymen will delight to
honor. And aside from the walks of
duty, in the circle of his intimates and
associates, he was one whom to have
known will always be esteemed an
honor and a privilege. For the gallant
soldier and the high-minded gentleman
there will be mourning in all parts Of
our land today

ent with our dignity as nation, and
with the duty that we owe toward
Spain. with which we are at peace, as
well as toward the Cuban insurgents,
to declare ourselves openly, than to
harbor secret sympathy which we
officially disavow While the fate of
the Cuban revolution will probably be
decided one way or the other within
the next sixty days. we believe that it
would be both satisfactory to our peo-
pie and consistent with national hon
or to take openly the position laid down
in the substitute senate resolution. 1t
will probably be adopted without Sc
rious opposition and become the de-
clared policy of this government.

nestle industry might be paralyzed by
the withdrawal Of outside support.
That apprehension tied their hands.
They would not put their money into
drawal by other capitalists of their re-
sources was likely to shake the In
dustrial fabric into ruins. The out
look is different now. The skies have
ate and lasting misfortune from blum
ders that we may make in our indus
trial or financial policy: but we are
not at any other mans mercy. We do
can go forward with confidence to work
out our own career.
The whole secret Of it lies in that one
magic word confidence" Absence Of it
has brought us innumerable disasters.
We believe that no event in the last
twenty years is so calculated to re-
store and to preserve 1t as the ex-
hibition Of financial power manifested
in this bond subscription. From this
day on no man should hesitate. These
unemployed hundreds Of millions that
have been offered to the government
should now enter the field in active
competition for absorption in the bust
ness enterprises of the day. The terror
that hung over them is dissipated. 1t
nation in financial as in political policy.
We believe that from the opening of
these bids for the bonds there will be
not only a new departure in treasury
financing, but a new era of industrial
activity and success.

NO DIRECTORS.

The public has heard so much Of the
company, which were to be directed
particularly against the plan Of street
lighting reported by the board Of public
works, that it Is not only gratifying
single voice has been raised in oppo-
sition to it, thus far, in either branch
Of the city council. The board Of alder
men directed, without debate, the city
to the plan and specifications received
from the board of public works. The
assembly took practically the same &C
ton last night. In it's case it was
pointed out that no time for the begin
ming Of advertising and none for the
opening Of bids had been specified.
Owing to the approaching expiry Of the
contract of the city with the gas COM
pany, 1t is important that no unusual
delay be made Probably this would
not have happened in any case, but it
is safe to specify dates, as is done in
the assembly resolution. There, also,
the proposition called out no remark
of any sort, but was accepted as mat
ter Of course. 1t is unfortunate that
the change will require another consid-
GRAFTON by the aldermen, but the de-
lay is slight, and there is no reason to
suppose that the amendment, which is
merely technical, will provoke criticism
or remark
1t would have been to the advantage
Of the public if the specifications in the
matter Of gas lighting had been
changed in the respects in which the
G o b e has shown that they are now
defective There is no reason why we
should not call for as high a candle
power in street lighting as is the rule
in Minneapolis. Still, we recognize the
fact that it will not do to postpone
action until too close to the time when
the old contract has to be renewed. The
greatest danger can be guarded against
by careful, constant and rigorous sys-
tenn of inspection, and this we hope to
see put in force in the future. We shall
continue to call attention to this until
it is secured. The absence of adequate
penalties for insufficient lighting is,
however, grave defect that must not
appear in any subsequent contract. AS
to the main proposition, which involves
the securing of competition in the light
ing business, the substitution of electric
for gas light in certain districts, and
a large saving in cost, no objection
whatever has been developed.

at the Hotel Metropole tonight. the
guests included members of the clergy.
diplomats, members of parliament anna
other public men. The United States
ambassador, Mr.. Bayard, presided. In
proposing a toast to the queen, Mr..
Bayard was greeted with tremendous
applause. Above his seat were draped
the union jack and the stars and stripes,
with their folds interlaced. Mr.. Bay
ard made feeling reference to the
death Of the Prince of Battenberg,
Canon Duckworth proposed Mr.. Bay
ards health, and he said: England
rejoices in Americas prosperity, and
we welcome Mr.. Bayard as the proxy
of the great people whose interests are
indissolubly bound up with our own"
This toast was honored standing and
with three cheers, the band playing
meanwhile Yankee Doodle"
Mr.. Bayard responding, said: II am
gratified that l am admitted to the
personal sympathy of the English peO-
ple.' cloud and prolonged applause)
Mr.. Bayard continued. that when he
recognized the community of sentiment
of the two countries he felt that when
he crossed the Atlantic it was merely
a change of faces and not of hearts.
Yet there were those who pretended
that there was something different be-
tween the aspirations of honest men
here and in America. He refused to
believe it, he had spent his life in
America and he came from a people
who had drawn nothing but American
air and doctrine for two centuries and
half. He came here and found and
breathed the same air. IF any diff
ference exists" said Mr.. Bayard '1t
is an artificial one"

THE JAPANESE SCARE.

There was evident the need Of some
backing of popular opinion to support

there came from the Pacific coast
alarming rumors Of the invasion Of our
industries by the fabrics Of the deft
islanders of the Pacific and the immi-
enfants d'industrie Pictures Of Jap
anese factories producing iron and
steel implements sent a chill down the
spines of Pennsylvania ironmongers,
and the silk makers of Paterson
quailed before stories of Japanese silks
selling at half what they asked for
theirs.
Following these reports came the
meeting of the national association of
manufacturers in Chicago, where this
competition Of the Oriental Yankees
was accepted as a serious and present
danger, and congress was implored to
do something at once to shut it out
There were free traders who felt the
foundations of their faith shaking I'M
der this hue and cry, raised solely to
guard the tanks Of the backward
march. and momentarily questioned
whether free trade under such condi-
lions was really desirable. Subsequent

But the affair is mainly another case

not at the reports, for he probably is
familiar with the tactics Of the pro-

Manufacturers here are trying to cross

should realize that the Japanese manu-

great many years before they can

says this Japanese. Japan has-no raw
material to produce iron or steel. She
would have to draw her supplies from
this country; and to expect that she
could buy her material here, pay
freights out on it and back on the man
