BETTER JUDGMENT.

After defeat Of the revenue bill in
the United States senate, due to
the action Of some of the silver repub-
licans in voting with the democrats,
and while the democratic press of the
country was bowling about the .'split''
in the republican party, the Philadel
phia Press, a staunch protection organ,
asked for an expression Of opinion
from all prominent. senators Of the
party, as to the probable effect OF the
revenue bill defeat and silver dead
lock, and published the same. The
concensus Of these opinions was that
fears Of "split" in the party were ut
terly grOundleSs, and due only to
the talk OF Over-Zealous silver men.
Among these letters we noticed that
Of Senator Shoup of this state, which
is us follows:
While | am protectionist and voted to
bring up the revenue bill, regret to say that
the bill Is us dead as julius Caesar. / am Of
the opinion, however, that in the near future
Il republican tariff bill will be formulated
which will give protection to American in
dustries and that it will pass congress.
The intermountain states and the Pacific
coast will go St. Louis demanding plank in
the republican platform that cannot be mis-
understood and which will recognize silver.
For the past twelve years the financial plank

shall not be made.
Failing in that. they will undertake to
place in nomination man Of high character.
and if had the naming of the man it should
be Senator Donald Cameron, of Pennsylva-
MIA. believe however, that the silver men
favor concessions. Personally, favor them.
II cannot get in the national convention 16
to plank. am willing to concede something
il silver meets with a proper recognition.
This letter is from the pen Of aeon
seryative silver man, and has the
right ring. We believe it is mis-
take at this time for silver men to
adopt a policy OF rule or ruin, and
that. such a policy will result in harm
to the cause.
Protection is a fundamental princi-
pie of the republican party, and while
we of the west look with more favor
upon the principle Of free silver, we
should not lose sight of the fact that
we have wool and lead interests to
protect, and it is better by far to have
these protected. There is no sense in
cutting off ones nose to spite the face,
and ii we cannot have free silver and
protection, we certainly do not want
the single standard and free trade.
We admire the silver senators for
the gallant fight they are making in
behalf of the white metal, but do not
believe it is good policy for them to
kick over the traces because they can
not have at once what they ask for.
The tail cannot wag the dog.
We believe that the republican par

ty is the only hope for silver, and that
proper recognition of the white metal
will come through no other party.
We believe, like Senator Shoup, in
concessions, if a point in favor of sill
yer can be gained. The fight must
be settled within party lines, and any
other policy, we believe, would result
disastrous)y to the silver cause.
Better augment should prevail in
future than that exercised by repub-
lican silver senators in voting with
the democrats against the revenue bill.

PASTOR BROWNS CHURCH TRIAL
Miss Overman Tells Of Her "Ftxing''
the Letters.

San Francisco, March 3.-The wintry
weather could not keep the curious
people away from the Brown trial to-
DAY and the Congrega tional church was
crowded. Brown was Ill and sent word
tnat ne could not be present. Miss
Overman was placed on the stand for
cross-examination. She was handed
copies of the famous Matchmaking let
ters Which she wrote Mrs. Tunnel and
pointed out wherein they differed from
the originals. She said the original let
tiers had been destroyed after they had
been stolen from Mrs. Tunnel. Miss
Overman said all the parts of the letters
which had reference to Brown or that
were damaging to him had been put in
by her for the purpose of blackmail,
but that otherwise she had stuck close
ly to the original text in forging the
letters. It was pointed out to her that
other parts Of the letter were in a
style leading up to references to Brown,
and she said in some cases they had
been changed by her.
At the evening session the crOss-ex-
animation of Miss Overman continued.
She was questioned closely, but stuck
to her story and the questioners were
unable to confuse her. It was announc-
ed at the council that Brown is serious
/ ly i'll. His physician says he is threat
ened with paralysis, besides suffering
from loss Of memory and severe pains
| in the head.
