DATE QUESTION UP AGAIN.

Grand Army Encampmsnt Managers
Kick on tho 6tate Fair.
ST. PAUL, May 5.-The question ct q
possible conflict between the G, "a. r.
encampment and the state fair, which
are scheduled for the same week in
September, has come up again. The
managers of the encampment are again
urging that the two events shall not be
held the same week. They are consid.
BRING three propositions. One is a
change in the date of the fair, another
is changing the date Of the encamp-
ment and the third is abandoning the
fair altogether. The fair managers OBJ
ject to changing their date and holding
no fair they will not hear Of. A con-
ference will be held this week between
committees of the two bodies in an
effort to arrive at some understanding
It was thought that the matter was
settled some time ago, but the reports
OF the hotel men, and the pressure of
other business interests have caused
the board of managers Of the encamp-
ment to decide to reopen the matter.
This is one of the most delicate things
that the encampment managers have
have had to deal with, and they are
in the matter with the greatest
caution and considering it from all
sides in order to prevent conflict of in
terests or discord between the two
bodies.

New YORK, May ga special to
The World from Atlantic City, N. j.,
says: While the board walk and beach
were crowded with visitors, a large,
rakish steamer stopped within mile
of shore and lowered four boats which
made for the ocean pier AS they
neared the pier, large crowd gathered
there. When the boats came up, a
score Of silent, swarthy men forced
their way to the front and soon as the
boats touched the landing stage, they
leaped into them, and were imme-
diately rowed out to the steamer,
which had not anchored, but kept cir.
cling with all steam up. Just as soon
as the strangers were put on board, the
mysterious craft made off with all
speed to the southwest. The general
opinion among. seafaring men here is
that another Cuban expedition has sue
cessfully gotten away and that the
steamer already had on board arms and

ton, poor cash demand, small export

prospects, the cheapness of all other
farm products and lack Of speculation
were the chief reasons for the week S
decline. Most Of these bear influences

He Is Easily the First

Though Most of the Delegates
Would Go to a Free Silver
Man.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-The Exam.
liner says careful inquiry has been
completed in that paper as to the way
the Pacific states will vote at the Re.
publican national convention to be
held at St. Louis. The canvass shows
that William Mckinley is by long odds
the favorite candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination and will receive most
of the votes Of the far western states
and territories. Indeed, other candi-
dates are not seriously mentioned by
the practical politicians or the conven-
tions or the electors in general. The
only break comes upon the silver ques.
ton. In this regard some delegates
may throw their strength to the radi-
cal free coinage candidate, should he
appear, but as between Mckinley and
any other Of the men now in the field,
the Ohioan will be preferred. The
roll call may finally be answered as
follows:
Arizona, delegates, regular delega-
ton for Mckinley; contesting delega-
ton divided
California, Is delegates, certain for
mckinley.
Colorado, 8 delegates, doubtful be.
cause Of silver.
Idaho, 6 delegates, doubtful, one fac.
ton for Mckinley, another demanding
a radical free coinage candidate.
Oregon, delegates, for Mckinley, as
between him and any other candidate
yet named.
Nevada, 6 delegates, for Mckinley, as
between him and any other candidate
yet named.
New Mexico, + delegates, certainly 4
votes for Mckinley.
Utah, E delegates, prefer Mckinley
to any other candidate yet named, but
stands for free silver.
Washington, 8 delegates, divided,
with sentiment more strongly in favor
Of Mckinley than any other candidate.

Employees of the Adams Company Arc
Likely to Strike.
New YORK, May 5.-The Herald
says: The initial step has been taken
by employees of the Adams Express
company in a strike that ma possibly
affect the 10000 men employed by the
corporation. Eight porters in the i'm
mense freight house Of the express
company, in Forty ninth street, adjoin-
ing the New York Central freight
yards, walked out in a body recently.
The action of those men will be SUP.
ported by the company's men in Wash

the result Of heavy cut in wages and
an increase Of working hours. A COM
mittee representing clerks, drivers, por.
tiers and stablemen will at once call
upon L. G. Weir, president Of the COM
pany with a list of grievances. The

Will Insist on Some Assurance
that their demand is granted within a
reasonable time, or else a general strike
will follow. The trouble is attributed
by the men to President Weir, who

ing force, and cut down wages, but
failed to curtail working hours.
Another innovation was made Sun
day night when the drivers, freight
handlers and helpers were compelled to
furnish bonds for $500 each. The bonds
were handed to the employees to sign.
Some of the men refused to comply
with the request. The employees of the
company were compelled to sign an
agreement several weeks ago, whereby
they released the express company
from all liability in case they were in
jured while on duty. ~:

DEnAsrNG THE CURRENCY.

The Republican national convention
declared for the gold standard and
against free silver. 1t was about its
position in regard to these two metals
that the country was most anxious.
The financial plank when carefully
analysed is what would be called, in
the expressive language of the gamins
of the street, dandy" The third
sentence of the plank reads: I'VE are
unalterably opposed to every measure
calculated to debase our currency or
impair the credit of our country"
That is a sentiment which every pa
triotic American will indorse. Follow
ing this declaration in favor of sound
money comes this remarkable one:
I'VE are, therefore, opposed to the
free coinage of silver except by inter
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world
which we pledge ourselves to promote,
and until such agreement can be OBJ
I tanned, the existing gold standard
must be preserved A rather inno-
cent, inconsequential paragraph it ap-
pears to be at first glance. What is
the inference to be drawn from the
two declarations? 1t is that the free
coinage of silver by the United States
alone would be to debase our currency
and impair the credit OF our country"
I The debasement would come from the
injection of more silver into our cur
rency, it being inherent in silver. But
! if an International agreement to de-
base our currency and the currency of
/ the leading commercial nations of the
world were made, it would be all right;
there would be no immortality in it.
! OF course it will be answered that free
coinage of silver under international
I agreement would not be a debasement
CT the currency. Then why would it be
without such agreement?

Of Major Mckinley as a demand by
the American people for a return to
the Mckinley tariff: it is not the issue
this year though it is natural that a
foreigner who, from the nature of the
case, does not know exactly the status
OF our politics at the opening OF the
impending campaign, should infer that
the election of Major Mckinley, who
transmitted the doctrine of excessive
protectionism into the doctrine of Nc
Kinleyism, would mean demand for
McKinleyism
NJ. LeIuy-Beaulieu devotes far more
attention 10 Major Mckinley as sid
yer man than as protectionist, and
expatiates at length on the great dam
ger of blmetallism, which he CONSTITUTES
as being practically the same as free
silver AS the major stards upon a
gold platform and is the champion of
the gold standard, the comments of his
French critic are inappropriate now
The danger he foresees is the same that
all gold standard men think they see.

NEW POLITICAL MANAGERS.


Mark Hanna stands today as the
recognized head of all political mana
gers. He has conducted the Mckinley
boom with all the wisdom and sagac-
ity that he would have used in com
mercial deal. The New York World
has an unusually, for it, long article
on Hanna as a political manager. 1t
says he has managed Major McKin-
ley's campaign as he would any other
business enterprise. 1t says there are
men who make a business of politics,
but that Hanna has made politics
business. IF he were" says the
World, Ito undertake the work of COM
bining forty-five iron foundries in
trust he would pursue substantially
the same methods that he has employ
ed in consolidating into an irresistible
mass the Mckinley strength in forty
five states" Everybody knows how
trusts are formed; the concerns that
go into them are bulldozed or bought
out, and there was plenty of the for
mer at the st. Louis convention, as
the contests for seats showed; there
may have been some of the latter also.
The World wants to know if Hanna
is something of more than passing
episode, and whether the new style Of
management" in national politics has
come to stay. Then it asks: Are the
multi-millionaires who have substitute
ed monopoly for competition in busi-
ness to apply their method and their
money directly to politics. acting in
person instead of through agents as
heretofore?"
If the single gold standard has come
to stay and the money power can die
take 70 presidents and congresses, it is
very likely that the Hanna style OF
management has come to stay and that
the multi-millionaires are acting in
person and not through agents as
heretofore.

WHY DEMOCRATS SHOULD EsPOUSE
FREE SILVER.

1t has been our opinion right along
that the Democratic national conven-
ton would declare for the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of is to 1.
and nothing has happened or is likely
to happen to change it. Aside from
the rightfulness of free silver it is
the only policy left to the Democratic
country with any assurance of win
ming. The Republican party has come
out as the champion of the gold stand
ard, and will be the recognized cham
pion of it even should the Chicago
convention by any possibility declare
for the same standard. Moreover, the
overwhelming gold sentiment of the
country is found in the Republican
party and the Overwhelming silver
sentiment is in the Democratic party.
If the people should come to the con-
clusion that they want the gold stand
ard is it not reasonable to suppose that
they would turn to the candidate of
that party wherein the sentiment for
that standard is very much the
stronger? 1t certainly is. Outside of
the financial question there is not an
other single great issue before the peo-
pie this year Protection or tariff re
form is not an issue. The Democratic
party could not successfully charge
the Republicans with favoring an ex-
cessively high tariff, for in it's plat
form it has very adroitly refrained
from pledging itself TO any particular
schedules, which would allow it to say
in answer to any specific charge made
against it that it favored a high or
prohibitive tariff on any article or
class of articles that it was not pledged
to any rate or schedule; in fact it
could not be cornered on the tariff.
The minor and unessential points of
disagreement between the two parties
would not arouse any interest on
either side. The Democratic party
must take up the cause of free silver
If it would have an issue with which
it can go before the people Otherwise
it might almost as well have no ticket
at all in the field this year.
