TELLER AND SIBLEY.
Command The Respect Of All Par
ties Says Senator Stewart.

Washington. June Ex-senator Stewart
OF Nevada, who some time ago with
drew from the Republican party, to act
as an independent silver man, started
today for Chicago. to attend the Demo-
cratic convention. In, explanation OF
his purpose. he said:
II so there simply as private citi-
zen TO use any influence l may have to
secure unioa of TIE friends of none
tary reform, on the same candidates
for president and vice president. il
that can be done, there is no question
about the success of the candidates.
The great mass OF the American peo-
pie are opposed 20 the single gold stand
ard, and have thought they were vot-
ing against it for the last 20 years. The
platforms of both the old parties have.
IS a rule declared in favor OF the use of
both metals as money, and for bimetall-
ism In its largest sense. The Republi-
can party has at last declared in favor
of the English gold standard, and says
1t viii adhere 10 it az long as England
does. Nobody expects that England will
change"
What men do you think would best
unite the silver forces OF the country?"
he was asked.
"The two men who appear to COM
mand the confidence of all parties are
Henry NJ Teller and Joseph G.. Sibley.
For character and ability, Henry NJ.
Teller is the peer of any statesman in
the United States. He was Democrat
previous TO {. : war. Since then he was
Republican until the meeting at st.
Louis. since which time he belongs TO
no party lie is an American citizen,
end belongs 20 all the people alike"
Would the Populists support Mr.. Tel
lcr?"
Certainly. Mr.. Teller has done re-
Gently what the Popullsts did long ago.
lie has lett his party because he be-
lieved his party was against the coun-
try"
Would the Democrats at Chicago who
voted for MIR. Teller be considered as
departing from their party?"
Certainly not, IL he Is nominated by
their party lie is still q Democrat in
the highest sense. lie belongs 10 no
party. IL they viii nominate him. he is
their man, because he Is the man OF the
whole country. They don't abandon
their organization. They do 1t in their
organization, whereas the Populists, in
supporting Mr.. Teller, take the nominee
of the Democratic party"
Would the nomination OF Bland or
Roies have the same effect as the noml-
nation OF MIR. Teller?"
~ fear Il would not, because X requires
the Populisis and the Republicans who
have left their party TO Join the Democ.
racy. without any action on the part ot
the Democracy signifying desire to
cooperate. IL the silver Democracy
have not enough regard for the Populsts
and silver Republicans TO Indicate. i'm
some substantial way. their desire OF
cooperation, the Populsts will nomi-
nate candidate of their own. and
Justify themselves. on the ground that
they are willing 10 trust the Democracy.

Children We're Dumped Into the
Water and Four Drowned.

Boston, June 30.--While the citizens or
South Boston were celebrating Far
ragut day" a local holiday observed In
honor OF the naval hero. a wooden land
ing at Castle island. crowded with
women and children. collapsed. and four
were drowned, and half a dozen badly
injured.
The dead are: James j. Washburn.
II years old James It. Cole, years old:
John A Leary. aged 13, and Lawrence
Mcdowell. 10 years old, all of South Bos-
ton.
The long pier running out from City
Point and the nearby piers and land
ings were swarming with people. The
landing. which gave way. known as Shell
don's wharf, was controlled by tho
park department of the city of Boston.
The structure was comparatively new,
but was not built 10 carry such crush
OF people as that which crowded IL yes
terday. Boatman Sheldon, who holds a
lease OF the wharf and equipments,
notified the police. about an hour be-
fore the accident, that at least half a
dozen officers would be necessary TO
handle the tremendous crowds which
were assembling in the vicinity There
were a number OF officers on the long
pier and in Marine park. but only one at
the gangway leading to Sheldon's wharf.
He found IL an utter impossibility to
control the mass of people which de-
sired TO take advantage OF the passes
given for free trips to and from the ISL
and.
The small ferry steamer Ella was
about to land at the wharf with a large
crowd, when the hundred or more on tho
small landing endeavored almost SIM
ultaneously to reach the outer half OF
the landing, where the boat was cx-
pected to tie up. The outer end began
TO sink, and all those next to the island
were able TO get clear in time. This left
the weight on the Srter end, and IL
went down in about eight feet of water,
completely turning over. and leaving
20 or so persons struggling in the water
The hundreds who saw the accident
crowded around the spot, and 1t was
several minutes before cool-headed ones
could reach the wharf. Sixteen children
were rescued within two or three min
utes. and number who were fortunate
enough TO land in shallow water got
out themselves. Harry Sampson, 8
years old, and Lillian Duffy 6 years old,
were taken TO the city hospital In an
exhausted condition. Others, who had
been injured by the timbers and foaters.
were able to go home. The affair
created a great commotion In the South
Boston district.

which for a timeswas erroneously ascribed
to Dean Swift. "Brother Jonathan" is
traced back to Washington, the father of

Bicycle Fad and Its Bad
Effect On Business.
Candy and Cigarette Vendors
Chief Sufferers.
Another Explanation of Free Coin
age at Ratio OF 10 TO 1.

You would hardly expect the bicycle
fad, craze or whatever else you prefer to
call it, TO seriously affect any business
not intimately related to wheels or
wheeling; and yet the Gossiper has 1t on
the word OF a merchant here that his
business has suffered a marked decline
since the bicycle became so popular.
This gentleman is engaged in the fruit,
confectionery, cigar and tobacco lire
and he says the turning of the youthful
mind from bananas to bikes, from Gig
aretts TO cycles has caused a very percep-
tible contraction in the volume of his
trade. Before the wheeling craze fast
ened itself upon the youth OF the town
they were in the habit of spending
their pocket money for fruit, candy,
soda and even cigarettes. Now they are
using this samo pocket money TO pay tho
instaliments on their wheels. The con-
sequence is that the candy and cigarette
man has seen his profits grow discourag-
ingly smaller while no prospect ahead
gives him ground TO hope for better
times sto come. This of course is very
unsatisfactory to the candy vendor, but
the majority of the people will see in IL
a great beneficence In that 1t promises

thraldom OF nerve destroying cigarettes
and dyspepsia producing confections.

The meaning OF the expression "the free
coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to /" has
been previously explained in the col
umns of The NEWS, but evidently that
explanation did not fall under the eye
OF n correspondent who requests the
Gossiper TO give him clear and practi-
cal exposition of the phrase. To begin
then, the demand for the free coinage OF
silver at ratio OF Is TO l is a demand that
the government shall coin all silver pre-
eented at its mints, that a silver dollar
shall weigh 16 times as much as gold
dollar. That is to say that there shall be
16 times as much silver In weight in a
silver dollar as there is gold in gold
dollar. To do this the government would
have to assume that silver IS worth lilo
as much as gold, a fallacious and dan
gerous assumption, and should coin all
silver presentedsto the mints on that Da-
sis. As matter OF fact the market val
ue OF silver at the present time is not
1-l6 the value of gold. but 1-S0 of the
value Of the yellow metal IL viii take

coinage of silver were acceded to 1t would
be possible for man To go into the
market with one ounce OF gold bullion,
buy with II thirty ounces of silver, and
then present the latter at the mint and
have II coined into silver dollars enough
to purchase nearly two ounces OF gold.
