GREAT MINDS DIFFER.

There is more diversity of opinion
among the leading minds of the coun.
try upon the money question than any
| ether that has ever come before the
| people. 1t is urged by many advocates
of the gold standard, that should the
United States open her mints to the
unlimited coinage of silver, the direst
results would occur, business of every
class would be prostrated and gen.
, eral financial panic would ensue. On
the other hand, equally intelligent and
honest men, who favor. the free coin
age Of the white metal, hold that the
konly remedy for the present financial
ills is to throw our mints open to
silver, restore that metal to the posi-
tion it held prior to 1873, aud receive
the dollar of 4124 grains of silver as
shall be based. Not only does the
difference of opinion on this problem
exist in America, but throughout the
commercial world. In London, for
instance, the money center of the
world, some of the leading journals
take exactly opposite views of the
financial question. The Chronicle,
which is the acknowledged oracle of
the banking interests of England. de-
clares that should America go to a
silver basis, sit would be brought face
to face with financial panic and COM
mercial ruin" And the London FL
nancial News, which equally as able
a journal, but more directly repre-
sents the mercantile and manufactur-
ing interests of Great Britain, makes
the following editorial statement with
reference to the money question in
America:
"There is a plain moral in the re-
mark that if the United States would
venture to cut herself adrift from
Europe and take outright to silver she
would have all America and Asia at
her back and the command of the
markets of both countries. The bar
rier of gold would be more fatal than
any barrier of q custom house. The
bond of silver would be stronger than
any bond of free trade. There can be
no doubt about it that if the United
States were to adopt silver basis to-
morrow British trade would be ruined
before the year was out. Every Amer
lean would be protected, not only at
home, but in every other market. OF
course the United States would suffer
to certain extent through having to
pay her obligations abroad in gold,
but the loss of exchange under this
head would be a mere drop in the
bucket as compared to the profit to be
reaped from the markets of South
America and Asia, to say nothing of
Europe. The marvel is that the United
states have not long ago seized the
opportunity. 1t has been piece of
luck that it has never occurred to the
Americans to scoop Us out of the
worlds markets by soing on silver
basis, and it might serve us right if,
irrltated by the contemplate apathy
of our government toward the silver
problem, the Americans retaliatad by
freezing out gold. 1t could be easily
done -

CRIME OF A MaDMAN.
Attempt Made to Assassinate President
Faure.


PARIS, July, 14.-Feliz Faure, presi.
dent of the French republic, was to-
day fired at from distance OF only a
few feet by an unknown man, but the
bullet fortunately went wide of its
mark. and the president escaped un-
harmed.
President Faure had gone to the
Champs to review the troops. He had
no sooner entered the field when a
man in the crowd stepped forward and
fired at him. The shot did not
take effect. The would-be assassin
was arrested. He declared that he
only fired ablank cartridge.
When it became known in the crowd
that the president had not been hurt
by the pistol shot, cheer after cheer
was sent mp. The people could scarcely
be restrained by the guards from
crowding about the place where the
president and his suite were standing.
News of the attempt upon the life of
the president spread with great rapid.
ity among the crowds celebrating the
national fete day. The president was
everywhere received with cheers, the
populace taking that means of ex-
pressing its qualification at his escape
from violent death.
Faure was seated in an open carriage,
accompanied by M. Melfne, the pre-
mier. and M. M. Boisdefe and Tourney.
when well.dressed man, apparently
about 40 years of age, who had been
leaning against tree, took deliberate
aim and fred twice in quick succession
with a revolver at the president. He
had not time to fire again before the
crowd closed in upon him aud seized
him, and but for the preven ticn of the
police he would probably have been
lynched. The name of the mlscreant
is given as Francois. 1t appears that
sometime ago. in order to draw atten-
tion to supposed grievance he fired a
revolver in the hall of the chamber of
deputies. Francois declares he had no
desire to harm the president, and the
sole purpose of his act was to secure
bearing by the president of his griev-

EDITORIAL NOTES.

| Old time democracy went to the
Atlantic coast for a president and oc.
casionally came out to the middle west
for vice, but this year the system has
been reversed.
Bryan from the middle west and
| Sewell from Maine makes a combina-
tion which is divided as evenly as re.
CARDS to section as Mckinley from
Ohio and Hobert from New Jersey.
All eyes will be turned toward ST.
Louis, until after July o. If the pop
ulists and silver conventions that meet
there on that date endorse Bryan and
Sewell, it will be goodbye to McKin-
ley and Hobart.
DR.. F. V. B. Embree. chairman of
the Polk county populist committee,
favors the ST. Louis convention nomi-
mating of Bryan for president, provid-
ed he will accept the declarations of
the populist national platform.
The London Chronicle takes
gloomy view of conditions that will
exist in America in case Bryan shall be
elected president. 1t predicts fnan-
cial panic, commercial ruin and a
second civil war. The Chronicle is
the mouthpiece of the English bankers.
Governor Lord proposes to enforce
the laws for punishing parties for set
ting out fires that may result in the
destruction of public or private prop
erty, especially timber In the noun
tains, and has according ly issued pro-
clamation warning all persons against
violating the law.
Mayor Pennoyer ard the common
council OF Portland do not view all

The council recently passed two ordi-
nances, appropriating public funds for
repairing streets and bridges, which
the mayor vetoed, but the council by
an unanimous vote passed both over
his veto.
Some papers are taking most lud-
icrous position with reference to the
