1t is gratifying to note the respect
full manner in which the old line
Democrats of Texas speak of the
change that was made in the pros
poets and personnel of the Republican
party at it's last meeting at Fort
Worth. There is no doubt that the
party is faced toward a newer and a
higher condition of political existence.
There is no reason why the party in
the state is not competent to do bust
ness successfully and purge itself
from the contempt into which 1t has
fallen. There are brains enough and
principles enough of high order to
make it the representative party Of
this state as it is of so many others.
All that is needed is that its leader
ship be committed to high minded
men, as the party must take its
character therefrOm,

1t was not what the governor of
North Carolina said to the governor
of South Carolina that counted last
Friday at Canton, but what the gov

Rhode Island when they both met at

hands with the future president of
the nation. That was in fact a not
able gathering, and it only shows that
all states journey to Ohio this year.

Germany is always uneasy when
William entertains any of the crown
ed heads of Europe, for the people
have grown distrustful of the man
ner in which the emperor is apt to
slop over. His reception of the car
of Russia and the GOODNESS with which
his effusiyeness was received by that
potentate has aroused considerable
comment in Germany and it is not of
the most favorable character. Ger
man people have not the same warm
leaning toward the car as the empe-
ror expressed himself as having, and
sense of American citizens thinks
though William is autocrat the people
have opinions.

The Americans in Alaska grow in
sistent that the United States gov
eminent should establish a regular
territorial government over that coun-
try, giving it the same representation
that is given the other territories and
manifesting the same interest in the
welfare of her people as is manifest
ed in the other territories. The COM
plant is made that the government
of this country has left the American
citizens to shift for themselves out
there, while Great Britain is foster
ing all her interests in that region
and building strongly upon the Dor
ders of the territory, over in British
Columbia. 1t is gratifying to note in
this connection that the military au-
thOrities of this country are meditat-
ing the establishment of n military
force in Alaska to look out for the in
terests of American citizens there
and preserve the peace, in view of the
large mining interests that are being
developed.

The man with the whole statistical
figure-bOard of the United States in
his head will find himself in demand
these days of honest, earnest enquiry
for the facts. The people are not ques-
tiOning so much as to party as to
principles and the facts upon which
policies are based. They desire to
be led in the right path, or rather to
have the facts set down before them
so that they can select for themselves
the right path after duly considering
these facts. That there is going to
be an intelligent vote cast this year
of larger proportion that has been
cast in any previous year is certain.
The voters are going to see straight
and then fire.

That war in Cuba is getting down
to bed rock principles. Neutrals will
not be tolerated in either camp. and
it will be necessary for all parties to
choose whom they will serve. Cuba
is coming to speedy desolation under
this condition of affairs, but it will
have the effect of putting an end to
the war in the same way that the
fight between the Kilkenny cats came
to an end, when there was nothing
left of either but their tails, as they
were tied together across the fighting

Conditions Prior to 1878.

Some of the free coinage men still
say that all they want is to restore
the conditions that existed prior to
1879" In 1873 the total worlds pro-
duction of silver was 61,OOO,00O ounces
and the silver in a dollar was worth
$1.04 in gold. Last year the worlds
product of silver was 100000 ounces
and the silver in a dollar was worth
only so 7-1O cents. Will the silver
miners restore the production of 1873
as the first step toward restoring the
conditions?"

To man who has no money there are
several ways to get it-namely:
(a) Beg it.
(b) Steal it.
(cl Borrow it.
(d) Secure it by gift.
(e) Trade something for it.
If we are TO beg for it, we might just
as we'll do the best we can. Therefore q
dollar based on a gold standard is better
than sixteen to one silver dollar,
which to-day is worth about SO cents in
trinsically.
If we are to steal it, we want the best.
A thief who would steal a silver dollar
In preference to a gold dollar would be
acquitted on the ground that he was in
sane.
If we borrow it, we want that kind of
money which will go farthest, for so we
can get along with a smaller loan.
Therefore gold dollar is better to Dor
row than a sixteen to one silver dollar.
If we are to secure it by gift, certainly
we should not depreciate that which we
are about to receive.
luis DTluSS uS u lie Z, WHICH IL TIC
way most money is obtained. A peril
Dent question for each of us to ask at
this time is: What have 1 got to trade
for money which L want? 1t may be
labor; it may be a horse or COW; it may
be lumber or shingles; it may be a saw
mill. At the present time we can trade
any of the above and get a gold dollar
for every dollars worth of value, as may
be agreed upon between buyer and SELL
er. We can get dollar which is worth
dollar anywhere and everywhere.
Now, your labor or horse or cow or
lumber or machinery will be worth just
as much, or nearly as much, next year
as 1t is this, but if we have free coinage
at sixteen to one will the dollar which
you get in trade be worth as much as
the dollar you can get now? What will
that be worth? Can you tellP 1t may
be worth SO cents or more or less. One
day this, one day that, but can anyone
tel2 These are all pertinent questions
and, when carefully considered, must
guide us in voting at the next election In
November, and do not lose sight of the
fact that II all the silver in the world Is
coined into money you cannot get cent
