TALES OF THE DAY.

Too Enterprising "A Merchant.
"On trip through Logan county, W.
Va, five years ago, / sold a noun
taineer his opening stock of goods for 81

a Beitimore travelling salesman, at the
OF success, and would have bought more
than he did had encouraged him.
1t so happened that l did not make
another trip through that section until
a few days ago, and drove several miles
out of my way to the mans store. There
were very few goods left in the place,
and the merchant looked rather gloomy.

He was not the countryman of the

Journal. His hat was commonplace

had been curt during the month and
seemed destitute of hay germs and his
clothes We're not any funnier than they
were fashionable. And yet he. was I'M
doubleday from the country and when he
spoke he used a valuable magazine d1a-
lect.
He stood near the stamp window on
the Park row side of the postoffice and
looked as if he were trying to make up
his mind to do something disagreeable
to him. At last, after watching people
buy stamps for, at least twenty min
utes. he hesitatingiy approached the
window and said meelly:

LET THE PEOPLE CHOOSE.

Last week James A. Garfield son of
the murdered president, sailed for Eu-
rope. just as he was starting he was
asked
What do you think of the political
outlook?''
ut could not be better" he replied.
Mckinley will have no trouble in
winning. We want gold, and we cannot
have it without Mckinley, so that by
getting Mckinney we have the other"
That was a straightforward answer
to a direct question. Those who want
gold should support and work for the
election of Mckinley; he is for the
gold standard, he represents the gold
idea, and he is working for the gold
interest. Theoretically he stands for
several ideas, practically he stands but
for one.
If any person wants silver he should
oppose Mckinley, for as Mr.. Garfield
says, by getting Mckinley he will get
gold. AS by getting Mckinley the peo-
pie will get gold, so by getting Bryan
they Will get silver. The people can
no more get silver by getting McKin-
ley than they can get gold by getting
Bryan. These two men represent
two distinct interests The one repre-
segts the interests of wealth. capital
and corporations; the other represents
the interests of labor, of the toilfng
masses, of the starving millions. If
y Al
poverty, let them elect Mckinley; if
they wish peace and prosperity, let
them elect Bryan.

TWO REpuBMcAN SILVER PLANKs

When the Republicans of Utah met
IN state convention last spring they
made a very positive declaration on the
silver question. 1t was in these words:
Irrespective of any foreign nation
we demand the reconciliation and free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, and we pledge the Re
publican party of Utah to work for the
accomplishment OF that purpose.
There IS no mistaking what that
means; there is no language of equivo-
cation which will allow of a double con-
struction so that a loophole of escape
will be afforded. 1t pledges the Repub-
lican party of Utah to work for the re-
monetization and free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
Now contrast this declaration of the
Republican party of Utah in state con-
vention with the declaration of the
Republican party in national conven-
ton on the same subject:
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit of our coun-
try. We are therefore opposed to the
national agreement with the leading
commercial nat ons of the world, which
we pledge ourselves TO promote, and
until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold standard must be pre-
served.
So diametrically opposed are these
two declarations that one half of the
Utah delegation to the St. Louis con-
vention bolted it and repudiated its
action. How popular their action was
with Their constituents everybody
knows. The men from Utah Colorado,
Idaho and Montana who bo.ted the st
Louis convention became heroes in She
eyes of the people of those states. And
why? Simply because they stood up
for what the people of those states be-
lieve to be the right. The declaration
of the Utah Republican state conven-
ton is right that of the Republican
national convention is wrong. No Re-
publican in or out of Utah can reconcile

you may say. "Don't talk

Of the Republican party in Utah stand
by the declaration of their state con-
ventson on the silver question and their
own interests or viii they stand by the
declaration of the st. Louis convention,

DOESN'T TRUST PREMIER RHODES,
President Kruger Thinks the Cape Colony
Man Needs q Lot of Watching.


Man Needs q Lot of Watching.
CAPETowN, jan. Cit is reported that
Hon. Cecil Rhodes, premier of Cape
Colony, has resigned, but Governor Sir
Hercules Robinson has declined to accept
the resignation. Colonial Secretary Cham
bcrlain has telegraphed asking if it We're
true that DR.. Jameson was shot. Presi-
dent krugur has replied that he had
given no orders to shoot frec-booters who
had been taken prisoners, but that they
would be punished according to law.
He said that they had been treated with
the greatest consideration by the burgh-
ers, despite the fact that the latter had
more than once been forced to take up
arms in defense of the republic. Presi.
dent Kruger adds: "Our confidence in
Mr. Rhodes has received such a rude
shock that his Reputation OF the proceed.
ings at Buluwayo ought to be received
with the greatest caution. Even now we
have news that an armed force is collect
ing on our borders. If that be true
| trust that not the word OF Mr. Rhodes,
but the influence of your government Will
| suffice to prevent the further incursions
| of frec-bootcrs, although it was not sue
| cessful in arresting the advance of DIR.
| Jameson"
Secretary Chamberlain in his reply
thanked President Kruger for his assur
ances, and adds that he had always felt
confidence in his magnanimity. He had
sent an imperial officer, he said, to Bulu
wayo to see that his orders were obeyed
and to prevent the possibility of any
further raids, and assured President Kru
ger that ne might rest confident that hs
would strictly uphold the regulations ol
the convention Of 1854
