THEY KEEP TT UP.

The delegates in the republican con-
vention at st. Louis will be for the sin
gle gold standard in the ratio of about
nine to one. There wi1l be GIG delegates
| in the convention. Close estimates
show that Independent free coinage will
poll about one hundred votes-some Of
the calcula tions raise the total to about
100 votes.
The republican organs in the East la
ment the fact that the Rocky Mountain
states, which they seek always to be-
little. have any voice at all in the Sc
lection of a president. This the organs
do because of their hatred of silver.
They denounce Montana because Of the
states comparatively small vote: they
say not a word about Delaware. In the
national election of 1892. Montana poll
ed 44.306 votes; Delaware polled 1922.
Delaware is goldbug and therefore, in
the eyes Of the goldbugs. Delaware is
all right.
In 1892 Vermont polled only 55,T75
votes, yet these critics of the Rocky
Mountain states have no objection to
vermont-it is goldbug. At that. Yer
mont has four votes in the electoral
college while Montana has three. Rhode
Island polled 53.1S7 votes four years
ago-Montana will advance toward
that figure this year. Yet there is no
snarling at the littleness of Rhode Is
lands vote; IL is a goldbug constit-
uency-and Rhode Island has. in the
electoral college. four votes to three for
Montana.
So IL goes. The sentiment against sill
yer has grown TO be intolerance of a
sort for which there is no semblance of
excuse. But the criticism of the silver
states is persistently kept up: all the
goldbugs are at 1t. Luckily. the Rocky
Mountain region doesn't have to make
any apologies.

Mr.. CARTER QUOTED.

This morning the Standard quotes
what Senator Carter said last Monday
TO the Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Times Herald in regard TO
the silver plank at St Louis.
We share the Washington cor
respondents opinion that Mr.. Carriers
plan is good enough for the purposes of
evasion and attractive to weakened
men" Mr.. Carter wants the republi-
can convention TO follow the advice OF
the old lady by giving silver lick and
promise. The meaning. he says. OF
his silver plank would be that the re-
publican party Will exert itself in sup
port of a policy calculated to lead to
the international reconciliation of sill
Yer and meanwhile would maintain
the existing gold standard
With this fiimsy thing thrown at the
public, Mr.. Carter is represented in
the interview as saying that next au-
tumn's stumpers could go before the
voters In the silver states and ASH

AT ST. LOUIS.

Yesterday the thought and the SYM
patty Of the American people were
with the afflicted citizens of ST. Louis.
News respecting the disaster was i'm
patiently awaited; as was told on this
page yesterday morning, the wreck Of
the telegraph service was so complete
as to separate st. Louis for many
hours from the outside world. During
yesterday communication was estab-
lished again. and many details were
wired. The portion of news received
up to an early hour of last evening ap-
pears on the ninth page of this morn

nights report. giving many added par
ticulars. has its place on the first page.
Some of the reports put in circula-
ton when the disaster was first an
nounced prove to be without warrant.
However. the loss in the destruction of
property reaches enormous proportions,
while the death roll mounts to a dis
tressing total-the havoc could not
well have been worse. Apparently not
less than four hundred lives were the

not be made UP. Its saddest part Is
in the chapters that never will be
written-the chapters to which this
busy world will not long pay heed;
the sorrow for the dead. the sufferings
of the wounded. the losses that will
not be retrieved, the shattered hopes
and desolated homes and burdened
spirits and broken hearts.
With our regrets for the dead and
our sympathies for the afflicted should

GIVE THEN ROPE

Chairman Harrity and his associates
find themselves in a pretty tight place
Among gold-standard democrats are
many good men who object 10 the
Harrity plan whereby II is proposed
that the fiat of the national commit
tee shall run against a few dozen sill
Yer delegates to their exclusion from
the Chicago convention. Mr. Harrity's
plan will not work: many goId-minded
democrats will oppose il.
Knowing this. the administration CO.
terie is in a quandary. II realizes its
losses in Illinois. il is afraid OF what
is likely to happen in Kentucky. Ohio
and Indiana. Ben T. Cable is the
member OF the national committee for
Illinois. Whipped in his own state. he
wants the national committee % take
care of him: his way OF putting IL is
that a self-respecting national com
mittee couldn't well do otherwise. The
quality Of self-respect in the national
committee Will be tested later on.
There are those who say that the
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-05-29

disgruntled people in the administra-
ton have about made up their minds
to ''let the silverites go the full length
of their rope" The aforesaid silverites
will do that with alacrity. IL they get
the chance. They will organize the
Chicago convention. they will declare
for silver They will not be able to
muster two-thirds vote for the NOM
ination of a candidate for the presi-
dency. but they can depart from a rule
which, for personal uses. Andrew
Jackson invented sixty-four years ago.
and they can decree that a majority
may name a candidate.
Let Mr.. Harrity understand that the
free-coinage people will put to good
use all the rope he chooses to pay out
to them.

shall be exported from Cuba. This was
aimed at the Cuban residents OF the
United States who make cigars from
the Cuban leaf and who contribute to
the support of the Cuban cause.
The cigar manufacturers of Florida
thereupon showed the state depart
ment that they had about $780, 900
worth of tobacco in Cuba paid for but
undelivered. The American minister
at Madrid was accordingly instructed
to ask for a postponement of the date
at which expectation is to cease.
Weyler didn't like this, neither did the
Spanish government, but they did not
dare to resist a demand in every way
30 just and proper. SO the 81, 100000
worth of tobacco will be shipped to
this country. After this is gone there
will be no telling when we will get any
more genuine Havana" The price is
bound to go up. There is a shrewd
suspicion, however. that the supply of
genuine Havana" from Connecticut
will not be affected by weyler's orders
in the least.

FRIDAY. MAY %. 1896.
THE PITTSBURG TICKET

In their national convention at Pitts
burg, the prohibitionists went against
silver and gave a new name to national
politics in the nomination of Joshua
lowering for the presidency He halls
from Baltimore. The minority at Pitts
burg proposes TO stick to free coinage.
The prohibitionists have been in quest
of the presidency since 1S72-that year
they were known as the temperance
party. James Black, of Pennsylvania,
was their candidate; he was credited
with poll of 5.60s in the popular vote.
In 1876, Green Clay Smith, of Kentucky,
carried the prohibition banner. He re-
ceived 1922 votes. The year 1880 found
one of the patriarchs Of prohibition in
the field-that year Neal Dow, of
Maine. received 1906 votes.
The figures show that the cause was
not fiourishing. 1t was determined to
make, in 1884. a tight that would tell,
and John p. st. John. of Kansas, whose
good name gained nothing during the
campaign, was chosen leader. He made
a stirring canvass. and he scored a to-
tai of 15l.S0s votes. Then came, four
years later. another jump. Clinton B.
Fisk. of New York. a man OF sterling
reputation, receiving 249. 997 votes.
-Four years ago. the prohibitonists
concluded to try the Pacific coast John
Bidwell. Of California. came out of the
presidential contest with 264.1SS votes to
his credit-it was a scant gain for the
four years. The prohibition party has
never scored an electoral vote.

publican party will come into power
pledged to a general revision of the tariff.
That Is its great promise to the country.
But II II adopts a platform which drives
silver republicans out of the party, which
angers the constituents behind them and
brings down upon the head Of every SEN
ator who refuses to bolt his party a
storm such as eastern and middle states
men cannot conceive how is the republic
can party to push a protection meas
ure through the senate? This is
the argument which will be used
at St. Louis in last effort
to induce the republicans to commit the
awful blundcr Of straddling the financial
question. 1t is specious and attractive
to weakened men. but there are no in
dications that II will be effective. The
st. Louis convention will declare for the
gold standard.

Washington, May 2S.-Almost the
sole topic of conversation among the
members of the house to-day was the
st. Louis tornado. Members stood
about in groups and discussed the hor-
rible details. AS soon as the journal
had been read, Bartholdt, republican,
Missouri, asked unanimous consent
for the consideration of a resolution
prepared by Mr.. Joy of st. Louis, d.
recting the secretary of war to place
at the disposal of the mayors of st.
Louis and East st. Louis a sufficient
number of tents to afford temporary
relief to the homeless in those cities
and to give such relief as might be
proper, etc. Bartholdt explained that
his colleague, Hubbard, had called up
on the secretary of war this morning
and had been informed that If con-
gress would give the authority eight
or ten boats used near st. Louis in the
Mississippi river Improvement could
be sent to the Mound City to render
assistance and relief. The resolution
was unanimously adopted.
The house concurred in the senate
amendments to the sundry civil bill
increasing the appropriation for the
st. Paul and Little Rock public build
ings. The sundry civil appropriation
bill was sent back to the conference on
the remaining amendments.
Crowther, republican, Missouri, and
Blue, republican, Kansas, opposed the
conference report on the bill to PEN
sion the widow of Gen. o. NJ. Poe at
$75 a month on the ground that the
rate was excessive. The house fixed
the rate at $50. The report was dis
agreed to and the bill sent to further
conference.
The st. Louis tornado resolution
with the senate amendment was re-
turned to the house and the amend
ment agreed to.

SYMPATHY EXTENDED.
In the House and Senate the St. Loui
Disaster Is the Tn me ID scussed.

I q.
Disaster IL the Tn ms ID scussed.
Washington, May 2S.-The st. Louis
horror was the theme or a touching anc
eloquent prayer by Rev. Milburn,i the
blind chaplain of the senate. When the
house resolution was received author
izing the secretary of war to loan tents
and render aid to the mayors of ST.
Louis and East st. Louis, Mr.. Palmer
= of Illinois asked immediate considera-
ton. Vest interposed a suggestion
that, while it might seem ungracious
for him to interpose objection, yet, in
view of late reports showing the usual
exaggeration attending the first hours
of the calamity, he did not consider the
action necessary. The people of ST.
Louis. he said. could take care of them
selves.
Harris said he fully sympathized
with this view. although the resolution
being here, 1t should be acted upon,
and made joint instead of concurrent
Cullom said he felt there was no occa-
sion for the passage of the relief reso-
luton, yet as the house had acted, Gull
lom urged that the senate should give
it's assent. He was still in doubt and
worried over the situation on the Illi-
nois side. The resolution was amended
to be joint instead of concurrent, thus
requiring presentation to the president
and was then adopted.
A partial conference report on the In
dian appropriation bill caused an ami
mated controversy. Hale said the con-
freres had injected a great body of new
law concerning Indian citizenship into
the conference and he protested against
the breach of a sacred rule of confer
ence.
The criticism of the confreres became
general. Allison chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations, said never be-
fore in 20 years had new legislation
been put into a conference report. Vest
interposed that II had been done in the
conference report on the tariff bill of
1888. Teller, one of the confreres, de-
Tended their action.
The bond bill was taken up at 2
o'clock, the Indian conference report
being displaced without action. Daniel
resumed his speech supporting the bill
and arguing for the free coinage of sill
yer.
PETER supported the bill. He ar
raigned the president for usurpation.
and while denying that this bill will
lead to reputation, he warned the sem
ators that repeated bond issues would
drive the people to reputation and
revolution. There was a rumbling in
the distance, said PETER, which fore
told revolution that would shake the
throne of those guilty of usurpation.
Brown took the floor on the bond bill
to speak tomorrow. The presiding Of
flcer named the following committee
to attend the opening of the exposition
at Nashville, Tenn: Dubois, Gibson,
Allen, Brown and Bate.
Carter gave notice of an amendment
to the filed cheese bill, putting a tax
and establishing regulations against
adulterated beer. At 500 the senate
adjourned.
