Gently an outspoken champion of free

We believe that he was honest in his

then been to Washington in his official

The Gold Committee In the Saddle.

Senator Hill has been doing some fig

quite possible that the l6 votes of Ne

eide the contest. AS is we'll known,
there will be two delegations from Ne
br.ska. IL alleged to be composed of
Federal officeholders and other sound
money men, and the other being the
representatives of the silver faction of
the party. The national committee,
which will make up the temporary roll
of the convention, has a majority of
gold standard men, it is said, and upon
it's decision as to the seating of one of
the Nebraska delegations the whole out.

TOBACCO AND DIPLOMACY.

Some Philosophy by Prince Bismarck on
the Cigar as an Active Assistant.
When Bismarck played great poll
tics, he seemed not to disdain the
stratagems of war-that is to say,
something very like deceit came
we'll to hand. Here is what he did
in an interview with Jules Favre,
who, representing the Republicans
of France when Paris was to fall,
was negotiating with the conquer
ing Germans for the best terms un-
der the circumstances. The two
statesmen exchanged civilities, and
Bismarck jumped in. He was after
a tremendous war indemnity and
the cession of Alsace and Lorraine.
And he got them, and this is how
he got them: He put up big
bluff. He said: $50 you say, Not
All inch of u soil; not a stone of
our f%ortresses.' 1t is useless to dis.
cuss further. Ny time is precious.
So is yours, and I don't see why we
should waste it. Moreover, you have
come too late. There behind that
door is a delegate of the emperor,
Napoleon III, and I am about to ne.
gotiate with him."
This was a staggerer. The as
founded Frenchman did not know
that that door concealed nothing
moro important than a cupboard or
a closet. The discussion was resum-
ed. Bismarck, shortly rising as if
to leave, put his hand on the handle
of that Napoleonic door. Favre
sprang up band inplored Bismarck not
to impose upon France the continued
shame of a Bonaparte. Then they
sat down and talked some more. Not
long after, what with playing the
Napoleon dummy behind the door
and the alleged Napoleon senti.
ment throughout France, Bismarck
brought the republican to his own
terms.
When the poor Frenchman had
been bamboozled by the great diplo-
matist and they came to the easier
matter of arranging terms for the
surrender of Paris, Bismarck talked

ENGlAND'S GREAT NAVY,
Why 1t Would Be Practically Useless In
q Wal With Germany.

q War With Germany.
Germany possesses a large com.
mercial marine and enormous trade.
with a relatively small extent of
coast line. Our fleets could undoubt-
edly injure her trade, but upon that
she is not dependent for her ma.
tlonal existence. She has land from
tiers across which she can always
import any food stuffs and other
supplies which she cannot produce
for herself. By stopping her sea
borne trade we might cripple her
financially, but we could scarcely
hope, If she were in a determined
mood, to bring her to her knees. To
do that we should have to DESTROY
her fleet, to seize her naval ports
and perhaps even to undertake the
landing on her shores of a large ex-
peditionary force. I do not desire
to insist upon the expeditionary
force. I will contemplate only the
destruction or capture of her fleet
and OF her ports and the shipping in
them, and l would ask, Have we
sent to sea-and indeed do we Dos.
sess-such a naval forco as could
affect those ends? The answer must
be in the negative.
The German coasts, both in the
Baltic and in the North sea, are sur
rounded by shadows, and are, ever
in tho most favorable circumstances,
difficult of approach for large ships.
In war time, with buoys removed
and lights extinguished, it would be
impossible for ironclads drawing 25
feet and upward-as all our modern
ironclads without exception do-to
get within the longest gunshot of
Wilhelmshaven, Hamburg, Kiel,
Stettin OF Danzig, where alone, un-
less we could persuade the German
fleets to come out into the oper, we
could expect to deal a staggering
blow.
To dream of attacking German
coasts and harbors, fortified as they
are, without the cooperation of
ironclads would be sheer folly even
if we had the cooperation of a land
ing force. Yet we have not today a
single light draft ironclad fit for
operations within range of modern
guns or herself carrying guns of
that sort. For years past we have
built large ironclads and no others.
l have nothing to urge against the
largo ironclads. Other things being
equal, the large ironclad should be
more formidable and more safe in a
fleet action in deep water than the
small one. But that is not the only
point to be considered in thinking
of a war with Germany.
We all recollect the futile appear
ance off the German coasts of the
French fleet in 1870. Germany sim.
ply sat still behind her sand banks
and her forts and did almost moth
ing, until at length the French, buf.
feted by a hard winter and perplex-
ed by the coaling problem, began to
grow weary of the enforced inactiv-
ity and Went home again. AS. Ger
many did with France in. 1870 so
might she elect to do with Great
Britain III 1896. If she did, we
find ourselves condemned to
fill a comparatively passive role, and
we could do nothing decisive unless
late in the day we set about building
ships of the types which ought al.
ready to be we'll represented in our
navy, but which have not a single
