TELLER AN IMPossIBIL1rY,

The days of single brief week have
forever eliminated every chance OF
Henry N. Teller. the Colorado Repub-
lican United States senator, for being
| the combination nominee on a silver
platform, in opposition to William Nc
Kinley. For three or four days the
hopes of the Pops ran high that the
| Democrats might rise equal to the DC
caSiOn and nominate the man who
walked out of the national Republican
| convention. But the Pops took a sec
ond thought. AS a party they seldom
get as far as the second thought, but
in this instance the solemn reflection
forced itself upon them that if they
Should indorse a national Democratic
nominee there would be no Pop party
left. As for the Democrats, they never
for single moment seriously enter
tanned any thought Of Teller A Dem
ccrat is a Democrat He cares not
what may be the political principles of
his nominee, whether he be an angel
with silver wings or a Mephistopheles
with hoofs. SO ne is labeled with that
magic name. Democrat John Peter
Aitgeld, the Anarchist would be entire
~ acceptable to them as the Chicago
nominee were he not barred by the
constitution Of the United States: but
Teller, the silver saint who offered him
self as n sacrifice at St Louis. could
never command the vote of the un-
washed mOssback. For years the New
York Democracy headed by Hill. led by
Cleveland, and pulled and hauled by
the WMtneyS and lesser factors, will
go to Chicago solidly animated by the
one desire and that the preservation of
the party from being Greeleyized. The
PattiSons OF Pennsylvania, the Vilases
Of Wisconsin, the StevensonS of nH-
nois, and the recognized leaders of the
south Will all be in Chicago, and for
one single purpose, the preservation of
their organization under the name of
the Democratic Party" and the nOmI-
nation of an out-and-out Democrat on

PROTECT AMERICAN SHIPS.

Prominent among the protective feat
ures Of the ST. Louis platform is the
plank calling for the restoration and
protection of the merchant marine ser
vice. American ships have almost
disappeared from the carrying trade
Our platform demands protection of
our shipping in the foreign carrying
trade not only, but for the labor en-
ployed in American shipyards, and for
every vessel sailing under the stars and
stripes and manned, differed and own
ed by Americans, TO the end that we
may regain the carrying of our foreign
commerce.
The foreign commerce of the United
States annually consists of between
one and half and two billions of dol
lars worth Of imports and exports,
and employs several millions of tons
of foreign ships. In order that Amer
lean ships may be restored to the carry
ing of this commerce, an agitation has
been begun for the readoption of the
policy of 1850. 10 create a preference
for American ships by taxing imports
a higher duty when brought here in
foreign ships. Senator S. B. Elkins.
of West Virginia, and Hon. S. E. Payne
Of New York, have this year introduced
in the United States senate and house,
respectively, a joint bill which pro-
videS for a duty Of 10 per cent more
upon imports in foreign ships than is
levied upon imports in American ships.
This policy has this year been Endorsed
by the Republican conventions held in
the following states: Massachusetts,,
Oregon, New Jersey, Connecticut
Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, Mich
igan, Delaware. West Virginia, North
Carolina, Washington. Colorado and
Maine. The Ohio Republican plat
form favored the use Of American ships
for the carriage of American commerce
without specifying any policy.
The St Louis convention came
squarely out for the protection OF
Americas merchant marine. The

to bring unseen beauties Of nature 10
view. The picturesque landscape IA
diant with brilliant hues Of an
autumn's setting sun has no charm for
stone. The moons Silvery rays bring
TO view the sleepleSs stars and slumber-
Ing earth; yet the owl perched on the
belfry of the old church spire is much
more charmed with the mice playing
among the grass roots than with the
enchanting beauty OF the lovely night.
Man alone can look beyond the snow
clad Rockies, beyond the vast bound
aries of the continent, beyond the
shores OF the sea and far into impene-
trable regions Of space. Beauty is
something that cannot be Selfishly mo-
nopoliZed and is no less TO anyone for
being enjoyed by millions. Beauty IL
found in symmetry of form, harmony
of color and sound, thus usually APP
pealing TO the eye and the ear. The
architect Using forms Of nature which
are pleasing TO the eve. fashions a
temple full Of symmetry, order and
adaptation. The grace Of outline, the
ideal proportion, the embodiment OF
typical ideas furnished by the sculptor
may awaken deepest emotions. The
painter uses not only outline and figur-
alive expression of idea, but adds har-
mony of color. The artistic arrange
ment OF sounds in music StIrs the heart
with deep and tender emotion. Poetry
charms not only by it's rhythm. by its
skillfui arrangement OF thought. by its
word painting, by It's fgurative EXPIRES
sion but also by touching the chords
Of that which is sacred and tender.
Aestheticism hal its first exercise in
the contemplation Of nature Here
We find objects OF wonder, forms OF
beauty. perfection Of color, variety Of
arrangement, unity OF desisn-all those
elements that tend 10 please and sat
iSfy the aesthetic taste. Not one indi-
vidual rock, plant. animal, not one inch
OF land. not one wave of sea or film Of
cloud IS 10 be overlooked; for there is
noting too evaneScent or perishable on
which IS not To- be found the touch of
beauty. Can we thus see beauty
everywhere and not behold the wisdom
and the power and the benificience and
the beauty of natures oGd?

virtue of the decision in the case Of the
Johnston, Larimer Dry Goods company
hereinbefore mentioned, the Missouri
river basis Will have 20 be applied al

| There is no doubt in the writer
mind of what the outcome of this mat
ter will be. Wichita will eventually
have the same schedule TO and from
Gulf ports as is accorded the Missouri
river, and it rests with our people to
hasten this issue by the application Of
common-sense business methods, or to
retard by supinely enduring such oppo-
sitiOn and injustice as this action of the
Atchison and Rock Island and
wrought; and, without being either a
prophet or son of prophet, we never
theless prophesy that the latter alterna-
tive will never be adopted by the bust
ness men of this city.
We do not wish to be understood as
championing the interests of any rail-
way line entering this city TO the detri-
ment Of any other. The Eagle, while
always friendly TO the railways, and
ever encouraging them and their en-
terprising arrangements, is neverthe-
less first for its own people In this
we are simply standing by Wichita and
her interests, which we shall never fail
to do as against the whole world. The
Frisco, now TO become an Independent
line, and the Missouri Pacific, both out
Of selfish interests should naturally
become our allies in this righteous
demand, as they should be en-
cOuraged by our people TO be-
come so. The Atchison and Rock
Island have been given their opp9r-
tunity; an opportunity hedged about
by the power of the nation and prompt
ed and upheld by the well-wishes and
encouragement of our shippers, but
they were not broad enough to rise TO
the possibilities of the situation nor
reasonable enough to do the fair thing.
No city or people ever attained great
ness through submission TO wrong and
injustice. The interstate commerce

labor than IL did ten years ago, every
body must concede that the product
/ Of 8 hundred days labor will bring
/ but one-half in the market what it
would ten years ago. whether Of field
or factory. So the appreciation of
gold as compared with commodities is
not denied by anyone. The silver men
/ therefore claim that If the product OF
/ the worlds silver was turned freely
! into money, the production OF the two
| metals would not more than keep pace
with the growth and expansion of the
worlds business. Hence the idea of
bimetallism. Outside of the laboring
man, outside of the producers in field
and factory, there are. however, many
other men who are being benefited,
directly, by the present approaching
standard. The man whose capital is
loaned out, such as bankers and in
surance companies, corporations, Sc
curity-holders Of every character, and
creditors of every name, will consent
to nothing which will increase the
volume Of standard money at the ex-
pense of the purchasing power of the
unit
What the great majority Of silver
men demand is real bimetallism.
France has real bimetallism in fact,
though under the name of a gold stan
dard, and in the absence OF free coin
age. England forces bimetallism upon
every man who presents note at any
Of her banks for redemption or for
change, which amounts to the same
thing. Then why not America estab-
lish her own basis of bime tallism by
making both gold and silver jointly the
basis of all values, trea ting both metals
alike, discriminating against neither,
and insuring the use of both at all
times, as both together are less fluc-
tuating than either alone. Coin both
upon precisely the same conditions for
whatsoever brings them to the mint,
and let the government lead the policy
by persistently paying both out. half
and-half, on all her obligations to pay
ceiving them for duties on imports and
for everything else in the same proper
ton. If the goldbug is afraid, enact
that the legal tender shall be gold and
silver, half-and-half, or the paper rep
resenting them in such ratio. That
would be bimetallism- Such bimetai-
hsm would defraud no one, nor cause
any hutter in business. No recoinage
would be necessary, and no boarding
of dearer metal and the paying out
of a cheaper would be possible, be-
cause both would have to go together
whenever and wherever demanded.
No side contract could be legally en-
forced TO be paid in anything but the
lawful money of the realm. 1t would
be all coin, except the promises 20 pay, |
and the certificates issued against the /
deposits Of bullion, and they would be |
payable in coin, in either silver or gold |
if satisfactory to the parties In interest, |
but in both half-and-half, if demanded. |
Such coin issued at the present ratio |
of 16 TO ! would defraud no one be- |
cause there is now being produced by |
the mines Of the world about sixteen /
times as much silver as gold, and the /
price of every production is regulated
by its supply. And this would be real,
true bimetalliSm.
