Tales OF THE DAY.
Lii Interviews Mrs. il

Lii Interviews Mrs. John w. Foster.
An amusing story of Ii Hung Chang is
told in official circles. Whether or not
it is accurate in all particulars no one
seems to know, but the tale is as follows:
When John w. Foster and Mrs. Foster
were first in China they were handsomely
entertained by the v5ceroy and warm
friendship sprang up between the former
American secretary of state and the
greatest man of the eastern world. Then
as now Ii Hung Chang was disposed to
ask all manner of questions and at the
first opportunity he asked Mrs. Foster if
her husband was rot very great man
and a very rich man in his own country
Mrs. Foster replied with becoming modes
" that Mr.. Foster had held many high
official positions. He had been minister
to Spain, minister to Mexico, minister to
Russia, a special envoy to Spain, and
finally, the greatest honor being reserved
for the last, secretary of state, next in
the cabinet to the president himself.
But Mr.. Foster is not wealthy In fact,
he is a comparatively poor man." Mrs.
Foster frankly explained. Ii shook his

charges are due and large sums are
usually sent abroad to liqEidate these
accounts With the flow of money
all one way it becomes, not alone an
object of study, but an object of sus-
picion. 1t is evident that the large
inflow Of gold is a political rather than
a, commercial proposition Whether
the people can be duped yin this way
remains to be developed. Certain IT IS
that it is bold attempt to mislead
and deceive the masses. The bankers
are pointing at the vaults filled with
gold and are asking why the people
want the standard broadened and IN
creased in volume. They are asking
why the people want bimetallisn
when gold is abundant" HOW long
has it been this way? How long is III
since the government issued bonds to
replenish its stock of go[d? How long
is it since the vaults of the New York
banks were drained of their gold and
there was not dollar of that metal
to be had except by special arrange
ment? How long is it since these
same New York bankers, who are now
prating about 1.-The large surplus of
gold" sitting Jointly as a clearance
bureau or as directors of that bureau,
caused to be issued s36,O00,0O0 worth
of clearing house certificates as a
supplement, not to their gold supply
alone, but to the general funds avail
able? All this is fresh in the minds
of the people. 1t is only a few
months old. II is only few months
since Wall street was within the vor-
tex of a panic owing to the scarcity
of gold. 1t will only be q. few months,
if Mr.. Bryan should be defeated and
gold should triumph, when the vaults
will be empty again. Gold is coming,
is being imported, not as the result
of trade balances, but to mislead the
people and prevent them from casting
aside a. financial policy which must
eventually visit upon them much suf-
fering and distress.

GENERAL JOHN c. BLACK DECLINES.

The boiling Democrats Of Illinois
thought they had made a master stroke
when they nominated General John c.
Black for governor. The nomination
was made by way of protest against
Mr.. Bryan's nomination and Governor
Altgeld's denomination, and in the
hope that the nomination would injure
the chances for election of both gentle
men. Now General Black declines the
honor" of the nomination in these
terms:
'I am convinced by my investigation
in this state that the election for gov
ernor lies between Messrs. Tanner and
Altgeld 1 am further convinced be-
yond a reasonable doubt that the only
effect of my candidacy would be to
diminish the chances for one or the
other of these gentlemen for election
Men differ in their opinions as to whose
chances would be most seriously i'm
paired"
That of which General Black
is convinced is that Of which
everybody is convinced. His let
ter is about the most non-com-
initial letter ever written. AS to
whether he favors the election of Tan
her or of Altgeld, it is a clear case of
you pay your money and take your
choice" What G very wise remark TO
say that men differ in their opinions
as to whose chances would be most
seriously impaired" The chances are
now that those who were expected to
rally around General Blacks standard
will flock to Tanners standard out of
sheer disgust at the flunking of their
own nominee. They have talked so
against Bryan and Altgeld that they
will hardly so TO them. Black has
thrown a bombshen into their camp.

BRYAN,s LETTER OF ACCEPrANcE.

Mr.. Bryans letter of acceptance has
been made public Perhaps that which
will strike people most is how fairly
and squarely he stands on the Chicago
platform. He accepts all its declara-
tons without any hesitancy. No part
of his letter viii receive more hearty
endorsement than that relating TO
economy in the administration of the
affairs of government. A better rule
for the guidance of public officials
could not be laid down than this: In
determining what appropriations are
necessary the interest of those who
pay the taxes should be consulted
rather than the wishes Of those who
receive or disburse public moneys"
What he says about bonds is d.
rect and severe condemnation of the
administrations course in the matter
Of the bond sales. 1t is course that
should be condemned, and Mr.. Bryan
but echoes the sentiments OF the Dem
ocratic platform in what he says. He
is of the opinion that the Pacific roads
should discharge their obligations to
the government and that the govern
ment should take steps to protect its
rights in the premises This view will
hardly meet with the approval of Sen
ator John NJ Thurston.
He does not treat OF the tariff ex-
cept to say that it is not necessary to
discuss it at the present time. His
reason for this is that until the money
question is settled the American people
will not consent to the consideration
Of any other important question.
The letter Will meet the highest ex-
pectations, and is added evidence OF
Mr.. Bryan's fitness for the high office
to which he aspires.

Before the national conventions Of
the two great political parties met, OPP
ponents of free silver said there was
no silver sentiment in the country that
amounted to anything. They pooh
poohed the idea and believed them
selves so strongly entrenched that no
power could dislodge them. Suddenly
they awoke from their dreaming and
found that the silver sentiment was
land. Today these same opponents Of
free silver are pooh pooling the idea
that there is any chance of Mr.. Bryan
being elected. Again are they dream
ing, again are they doomed to a rude
awakening from their false sense of
