Wien we say a small crowd
came To hear the 'sooy orator

|the lumber anticipated by our
Democratic friends. They ex-
pec.ed $4,000 and got from 4, 500
10 5000. Many who came from
q distance to see the man who
Invented the Grown Of thorns
and cross Of gold" have satisfied
their curiosity and gone home
with but little additional info--
nation on the great question Of
free silver. The open letter ad-
dressed to Mr.. Bryan in last
weeks TELEGRAM very accur-
rately portrayed the sentiments
of thinking West virginlans.
They were willing to be instruct
ed and hundreds Of Republicans
came to hear Mr.. Bryan explain
how they were to be benefited
BY a policy that every highly
civilized and prosperous nation
had abandoned. Thatth were
greatly disappointed is very evil
aent. He failed to convince them
That the cause Of all the suffer
ng since 1882 was due to q gold
Standard. The farmers Of Hars
ison county recently increased
he value Of their ersonal prop
srty over $780, 900 under Har.
ison's administration and the
Fame property decreased over
100000 under Mr.. Cleveland.
In fact not a question outlined in
last weeks TELEGRAM was salts
tactorily answered and most Of
them were ottouched. He said
We had lost $50 millions Of our
circulation during the last two
years. Why did he not tell them
that under President Harrison
We increased our circulation 200
millions and had been increasing
i for more than 25 years under
Republican administrations. He
made probably the best possible
speech for a bad cause but his
logic will not stand the test. He
vas pleasant, graceful, and had
good face but when he came
here asking people to try a new

pie who had tired his "wool ex-

worth of metal and another containing
100 cents worth of a different metal
circulating side by side as equal in
value? Cannot the Chronicle see that
the absurdfty it supposes to exist in
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer is destroyed by the fact that if the
minis were open to silver the amount
of silver in dollar would rise to the
value of one hundred cents instead of
remaining at fifty cents? Why can't
the Chronicle be as reasonable and
honest when talking of silver in the
United States as when speaking of it
in India? If opening the minis Of In
dia to silver would increase the price
of it Is cents on the ounce, it may be
depended upon that opening the Amer
lean minis to its unlimited coinage
would increase its price so per cent in
the course of a comparatively short
time, and there would be no such thing
as 50-cent dollars.

AnrERIcAN WOMEN.

''As for the women, it is only natural
that they should have become what they
are-sdperfor. Intellectually, or at any
rate specifically SO, to the men. That is,
of course, as a class. There are always
so many exceptions to every rule. But
the thing has come about as a conSe-
quence of mans putting woman-Ameri-
can man, American Woman-on a pedes-
tai. and worShipping her. He has stayed
below the pedestal, and worked for her,
not having time, if he was the ordinary
man of business, to cultivate his mind
and manner while he SO worked. But
she has had plenty of time, and she has
made the best use of it. In our own coun-
try, / consider the reverse is the truth.
The average EngliShman is superior to
the average EngliShWoman in intelli-
gence and education. That is because he
is likely to think of himself, and of his
sons, before he thinks of his wife and
daughters. And EnglishWomen have con-
scientiously upheld him in his attitude
toward them, until comparatively lately,
at any rate. In America, on the contrary,
[ fancy that women have known their
own value, and set it rather high, for a
number of years-a couple of genera
tons, at least"
land do you not think American
women very beautiful"
''Pre!ttier, more attractive, more be-
Witching than Englishwomen. yes-but
not so regularly beautiful. The straight
almost Greek nose, and the ineffably
lovely and naughty upper lip of the most
perfect type of English girl, l have not
seen eQuaIed in America, I must say. -.

A SUGGESTION.

Yesterday there was exhibited in the
house branch of the legislature, over
the meat inspection bill, an evident
outbreak of the feeling that we have
seen growing for some time between
the country and the city members.
The bill in question. though import
ant in i.tself-and surely that which
concerns the granting of power to cit
les to guard the health of their popu-
lation is 1mportant-is yet not SO i'm
portant as that any rivalry or ill-feel-
ing between country members and city
members should be engendered. Tt is
not well that ill feeling or jealousies
of the kind should exist. There is no
conflict between the real interests of
the country and the cities, and TO III
feeling should be allowed to spring
up between the respective representa-
tives of cities and country Legislators
Should remember that while it is their
duty TO look well after any peculiar
interests their constituents may desire
guarded, (and 1T is right that such in
tereStS should be guarded, still legiS-
lators are not after all, body OF
special agents bound Ito enter into an
unseemly scramble for especial adYan-
tages for their respective districts;
such is not the true character ard
work of a legislator. 1t is the duty
of the legislator to consider the gen
eral good, as well as the special inter
ests of his locality; and whenever
there is a, conflict between them there
can be no question in a reasonable
mind which should yield ground where
the matter does not interfere with any
absolute right that belongs to the in
dividual or local community The gen
eral welfare must be provided for, as
against the advantage to any merely
local community.
Some one has said that Legis-
lation is the art of reasonable compro-
mise, and we commend the definition
to the consideration of the legislators
in the hope that 1T will result in its be-
ing remembered in their legislative
work, and make it all the easier for
them to yield whatever may be neces-
sary and reasonable for the general
good when opposed to seeming local
interests; to yield whatever may be
necessary and reasonable when the
seeming conflicting interests are be-
tween city and country, believing that
experience will yet teach that there is
no real conflicting interests in either
case; but that which is for the general
good will ultimately prove also the
best even for the local welfare; so with
the apparently conflicting interests of
city and country, that which is for the
best good of the greatest number-for
the general welfare-will prove in the
end to be for the best good of all-for
both the city and the country.
Legislation is broad-minded bust
ness, and it requires broad-minded men
to transact it. Meet each other, there
fore, in a broad-minded spirit, legis-
lative friends; let us have no jealousies
or chickering's between country MEM
bers and city members. The divisions
already existing are quite sufficient; let
us not multiply them.

ENCOURAGING CRIME.
gu1nent.

Ever since the Pearl Bryan murder
occurred three weeks ago most of the
news from Cincinnati sent out by the
Associated Press has been about 1t.
The story of any silly girl with a
strong penchant for lying has been
eagerly seized upon and sent tp all
parts of the country. The same with
the conjectures and guessings of any
imaginative man. Are we never to
have a let UP on this stuff? 1t would
seem not.
Yesterday morning a column of
"news' about the prisoners, Jackson
and WaIling, who are charged with
the crime, was sent out. There was
not in all of it one line of news, not
even a new theory. 1t was all about
how the people down there have been
focking by the hundreds and even
thousands to see the accused. The pub
lie is gravely informed that during
"the past week. in the absence of
new striking developments. the public
interest in these accused men, Jackson
and Walling, has assumed a new
phase. That fascination which mys-
terry has for the masses has drawn Wis
itors, not by the score and hundreds to
the Jail, but by the thousands every
day"
Then follows an account of how the
jailer and his guards are absolutely
worn out in letting the people in and
out" Accommodating jailer and
guards, truly. It seems never to have
occurred to them that they could cas-
lily obtain some much needed rest by
closing the jail doors and turning the
people away, even those blooming
girls with rosy cheeks and bright
eyes" or the groups of "matronly wo-
men or the highly respectable mi
nority'' from Indiana and more dis
tant states"
Walling and Jackson are to be con-
sidered innocent until proven guilty,
but to the youth who read about them
they are murderers, and they see that
murderers are made heroes of. This
is where the great harm of these
things comes in. Boys minds are in
famed by the accounts they read, and
especially where thousands so daily
to see the young murderers. They do
not sense the crime, they only see the
seeming glory that comes to the Grim
inaIs. And in many a boys breast
there is raised an ambition to do some
deed thalt will bring to him that bad
notoriety which to him seems fame.
The notoriety that is being given to
the two men charged with the murder
of Pearl Bryan by the officials who
have them in custody and the people
who go to see them, is an encourage
ment to crime.

A WHOLLY USELESS ApPENDAGE.

The Cleveland Leader is very much
disguised with the United States SEN
ate and can scarcely find words to ex-
press it's indignation. Still it uses lam
guage that in part expresses its feel
ings on the subject. 1t says:
The United States senate, with its
Populists and traitorous Republicans,
seems to be wholly useless append
age of the legislative branch of the
government There will be a change,
however, when some of the RepubH
cans who have just been elected to
that body take their seats a year from
next March
This causes the Cincinnati Enquirer
to ask few questions, very pertinent
and to the point ''Who are the trait
orous Republicans it asks. 1t says
they should be named, and then asks:
rs Republican senator to be de-
nounced as a wholly useless append
age when he does not agree with John
Sherman and Grover Cleveland on the
question of f1nance?''
The Enquirer must know that such
questions as these will upset any sys-
tenn of theology or politics. 1t may be
that this is the very reason for asking
them Any man is to be denounced as
traitorous by the gold-bugs who does
not bow down and worship the golden
calf Our country and free institutions
are something, the golden calf is ev-
erything. If the senate is "a wholly
useless appendage of the legislative
branch of the government" what of
the house? If the house and senate
had agreed on the silver substitute
would congress have been denounced
as "a wholly useless appendage" of
government? This would mean a per-
sonai government by the president.
It is a pretty poor sort of patriot
who denounces one branch of the gov
eminent as a wholly useless append
age if it does not happen to carry out
his particular idea. What would be
said of free coinage advocate who
should declare the house and president
useless appendages of the government
because they are opposed to him in the
matter of free silver? Such free coin
age advocates would be called all the
vile names in the language and they
would not only be termed traitors but
anarchists 1t is a very poor cause
that has to be bolstered up by substi-
tuting abuse and vituperation for ar
gument.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-25

Continuing it's remarks on another
phase of the subject, the Chronicle
says;
The statesman and his constituents
again think that a coin containing 30
cents worth of metal and another con-
tanning 100 cents worth of a different
metal can be coined on equal terms
for depositors of bullion and circulate
side by side as equal in value. At all
events they pretend to think so and
they proceed to make more foolish
and absurd experiment than ever
The editor ought to know, and what
perhaps is of more Importance, he
ought to be honest enough to acknowl-
United States should open its minis to
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, the silver in our dollar would be
worth 100 cents in very short order. 1t
is the strangest thing in the world
that our goldite editors cannot or will
not see that such would be the case.
They can see straight enough on the
proposition when it concerns any other
country in the world. Take this same
Chronicle, in the very same issue from
which we are quoting. in commenting
upon the prospective opening of the
minis in India to the coinage of silver,
and the effect of closing those minis
to silver, it says:
The reopening of the India minis
would undoubtedly contribute mater
tally toward the success of an attempt
by the leading countries to establish
international bimetallism. The closing
Of those minis was followed by great
fall in the price of silver. The perma-
nent decline due to this cause was per-
haps IS cents per ounce. Reopening
the minis probably would affect the
price as much in the opposite direc-
ton. This, therefore, is a factor of
real Importance.
Well, if the closing of the nints in
India was followed by a great fall in
the price of silver, the permanent de-
cline being about fifteen cents on the
ounce, and it is conjectured by the
Chronicle the price of silver would
raise about as much as it declined if
only the minis were again thrown
open to its coinage, why will not the
same law of cause and effect operate
in the United States? Decentralization.
of silver in the United States, by Re
publican legislation, was followed by
a great fall in the price Of silver The
permanent decline due to this cause
was perhaps so per cent Reopening
the minis for its free and unlimited
coinage probably-nay, undoubtedly,
friend Chronicle, would affect the price
as much in the opposite direction. Such
is the reasoning of the Chronicle in re-
spect to India, why can't it apply the
same clear logic to the same subject
in the United States? And in the event
of the rise in the price of silver when
the mints are open to dts unlimited
coinage. what becomes of this silly talk
about a coin containing so cents

CLEvELAND,s ATTITUDE.

There is no definite reason to believe
that Cleveland desires or would accept
another nomination for the presidency;
but it is true at the same time that he
continues to be talked about as a posi-
bility in that relation, and that he is
curiously careful not to speak upon the
subject when he might settle it with half
a dozen words One of his prominent
friends Mr.. Frederic R. Coudert, of the
Venezuelan commission, expresses the
belief that 'in the event of certain ext
gencies arising" he will accept a fourth
nomination.; and another, Mr. W. II.
Hornbower, permits himself to be quoted
as entertaining the same view. These
gentlemen are not given to talking in
a loose way or for the mere purpose of
getting their names into the newspapers.
It is hardly to be doubted that they
have substantial reasons for their state
ments, and they are therefore to be
taken seriously. They may be mistaken,
of course, but it is certain that they are
not dishonest. Their opinion is shared by
other capable observers of current events
some of whom are very close to the
president; and until Cleveland himself
says that he is not a candidate, the
chance will remain that he may con-
sent to Sacrifice his personal prefer
ences.'' as it is called and make the race
for a third term, trusting to his phen-
omenal luck for success where defeat
seems unavoidable.-St. Louis Globe
