COMMERCIAL MEN AND SILVER.

"Jim' Shields, who has brought the
newest story and the latest styles of
clothing into every town OF the West
for the past twenty years, has beet
laughing silently every since he read
the Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago. which stated that SO per cent
Of the 10000 travelling men Of the
United States are for Mckinley. and
are organizing for the purpose Of fur
thering his election. III is the rank
est rot / ever read" said he. In the
first place there are not 12O, 900 COM
mercial travellers ir the cOnntiy. At
one tine there We're 100. 600. but this
number has been decreased by hard
times until now [ doubt if $4,000 are
in the field. or these at least 20 per
cent are engaged exclusively in the
West, and [ can say Of them that al
first Of all, and this year are support
ing Bryan and Sewall. A go d, fair
proportion OF the Eastern travellers
believe in silver and will work for
candidates representing the idea. Any
man who says hat he represents 9S
per cent Of the travellers Of America
In such a statement, is a fool of such
dimensions that I doubt If be coul'l

William st. John has this t say of
the result in Alabama: The Ala
bama election and the outcome at
Brunswick Nd, are significant
Alabama because of the extraordinary
effort on the part Of the Pppuli-ts and
Republicans combined which Demo-
Gratis have overcome; Brunswick as
an indication of the revolution that
has Just begun among the people.
This is a peoples campaign. Organ
izations and leaders have very little
to do with it. Previous patty affilia-
tons is practica ly ignored. The peO-
pie are determined to enlarge the
volume OF their money.
Mckinley used to be a hot silver
man a few years but he shetved
his silver views in order t. get a nom
inatiou. Bryan would not sacrifice
his views if it gave him the cerritf-
cate of election to the Presidency.
That's where the two men differ some
what.
While vigilance committees are be-
ing formed in San Francisco to run
Dave Maggie III of town, it might just
as well also proceed against he seven
corrupt Supervisors who have sold Jhe
city out to the corporations.

question:"
Herr Most. the leading anarchist in
the Uuitrd States. hOwls that he Is fol
Mckinley and against Bryan that he
wants diamonds used as the Measure
Aof valeus that gold should take the
place Of silver as money, and thai
silver should be used in the manu-
facture Of horseshoe nails. The Re
publicans and Democratic gOldbuSs
no doubt wish that Most and the bal

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
SPANS DESPERATE sITUATIo

SPAIN'S DESPERATE SITUATION. !
The desperate straits, financial and
otherwise to which Spain has been
brought already is shown by the dis
position that has to be made of the new
internal loan. The success with which
this was raised has encouraged the
Spanish government greatly, judging
from the cable report, though in this
country of big things one is not much
impressed by $4,000, 900 oversubscrip-
tion to a $50,000,000 loan, more espe-
cially as it was made the occasion of
an appeal to national pride. The gov
ernment had failed utterly in its at
tempts to borrow money of the French
banks, though il was negotiating with
them through September and October.
National bankruptcy was imminent
and could only be averted by prompt
subscription on the part of Spain's own
citizens. That they responded as they
did was no more than was to be eX-
pected and no more than the govern
ment did expect, but the relief thus af-
forded is but temporary.
The London Economist says that a
semi-official source gives the follow
ing as the disposition that is to be
made of the proceeds of the loan. 1t
will be seen from il that a great deal is
required before the government shall
be free from its pressing obligations.
! The Spanish Transatlantic Mail
/ Steamship Company is to receive S4,-
| 600 600 as part payment for carrying to
/ the West Indies l7S, 900 men and their
stores during the past twenty-one
months. The Banque de Paris ct Pays
Bias must be paid Sl0,000,00O in equal
instalments during the months of No
vember and December for credits
opened for the Cuban treasury in 1876
which the bank has refused to renew
for another half year. Then the Bank
of Spain is to be paid another S10,OO0,-
600 for advances to the Cuban wal
fund during October. The Economist
says the government expected TO real
ize a little under S75,000,000 out of The
loan. but this was on the assumption
that 400, 100000 pesetas the full
amount authorized by the Spanish
Parliament, would be asked and taken

subscribed. as il probably can be

FAMINEs IN INDIA.

Although vast and wealthy coun-
try, India seems to be more subject to
famine than any other part of the
world. Under its English government
there seems no good reason why this
should be so, yet we are told that a
famine is now approaching, and that it
will result in great destitution to the
people for want of food products. That
this will raise the price of wheat and
other staples in this country is self
evident, but we doubt if the farmers OF
our country care to become prosperous
through any such means as this.
II is a matter Of history that so late
as between 1860 and 1876 there were
seven famines in India in which al
