for future success and will be re-
membered as pioneers when victory
is at last secured.
No personal or political friends
need grieve because of my defeat.
My ambition has been to secure i'm
mediate legislation rather than to
enjoy The honor of Office, therefore
defeat brings to me no feeling of
personal loss. Speaking for the
with who shared by labors as we'll
as for myself, l desire to say that
we have been amply repaid for all
we have done. Touched by the de-
votion of friends, our lives shall
prove our appreciation Of that affec
tion, which we prize as the richest
reward which this campaign has
brought.
In the face of an enemy rejoicing
in its victory, let the roll be called
for the engagement and urge all
friends of bimetallism to renew their
allegiance to the cause. If we are
right, as l believe wa are, we shall
yet triumph.
Until convinced of his error. let
each advocate Of bimetallism con-
tinue the work Let ali silver clubs
retain their organization, bold regu-
lar meetings and circulate literature.
Our opponents have succeeded in
this campaign, and must now put
their theories to ihe test Instead
OF talking mysteriously about sound
money and 'an honest dollar, they
must now elaborate and defend a
financial system.
Every step taken by them should
be publicly considered by the silver
clubs. Our cause has prospered
most where the money question has
been most discussed among the pee
pie. During the next four years it
will be studied ali over this nation,
even more than it has been studied
in the east The year 1900 is not
far away. Before that year arrives
international bimetallism will cease
to deceive; before that year arrives
those who have called themselves
gold standard democrats will become
bimetallists and be with Us, or they
will become republicans and thus
; open enemies; before that year ar
riyes trusts will have convinced still
more people that trust is menace
to private welfare aud to public
safety; before that year arrives the

Saws the Republican, Party VIII Not
Pass Remedial Legislation.
Denver, Col, Nov. 6.-Senator
Henry NJ. Teller arrived here from
the East today. In an interview he
said:
Il don't think the Republican
party will do anything for silver dur
ing the coming four years The dec
iaraiion of the St. Louis platform
amounts to nothing with a limitation
pu. upon 1t Besides that the men
who dictated the St. Louis platform
are opposed to bime'allism, interna
tional or ortnerwise. Mckinley, it
seems to me. has shown by his
speeches that be would be the advo
cate and supporter OF the gold stand
ard on the ground thst it is better
standard than bimetal!ism-
During the four years to come l
expect to see the Republican party
abandon all pretense to desire to
secure international bimetallism, and
tue contest will hereafter be made
between the gold standard support
ers and the organized hosts Of binet
allism. I think that four years from
now people will be sufficiently edu
Gated to understand the danger oi
| the gold standard, and the party
that stands fer bimeta!llsn IN 1900
by the United States alone will be
successful.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

A few well-lSnown sorts are the best
for commercial orchard.
In buying trees good roots are The

Sweet potatoes should be dug before
there Is q hard frost, az they are easily
injured.
Sort all apples carefully before send

In many cases gardening and fruit
growing combined can readily be made
q practical business.

After the garden crops are harvested
plOw up the garden and apply q good
dressing OF well-rotted manure.
When quality Of fruit is desired the
more branches and top you can make
the larger win be the crop Of fruit.
When garden seeds Of any kind are
gathered be sure that they are thor
oughly dried out before storing away.
The sooner red and black raspberries,
blackberries, currants and gooseberries
are set out the better. Early planting
gives a better opportunity to secure a
good root growth before winter.--St

the past summer he has lost many D
his troops by disease, he has still {
large number Of soldiers, and is receiving
more. Spain is also obtaining money
enough to pay of her most pressing
obligations, although after that is done
she will have every little left TO 60 Oh
with.
Hardly any one with an intelligent
comprehension OF the prevailing con.
ditions in Cuba believes that the Span.
iards can put down the rebellion. Weylel
has not only gained nothing since be
took charge Of the island, but he has
distinctly lost. Outside of Havana and
q few Of the other cities, Cuba is in
possession Of Maceo, Gomez and Garcia
The country regions are in the power Of
the insurgents, and, Notwithstanding
recent official reports Of Spanish victories
not one Of the insurgeDt leaders has
been driven from his chosen position,
It is unsafe for q spaniard or q gympa-
thizer with Spain to show himself out
side Of the cities which are in possession
Of the Spanish troops.
The productive part Of the island is in
revolt, and is practically lying fallow.
The ports are in the control Of Spain.
Cuba has temporarily ceased to be a
producer Of wealth and o contributor to
the worlds commerce. No country is SO
deeply concerned in this state Of affairs
as the United States. What can be done
to put an end to the unfortunate re-
bellion and to restore peace to the island?
So far the insurgents have not established
their right to recognition Rs belligerents.
They are not carrying on an active and
aggressive warfare, but they are main
tanning an obstinate and effective re-
sistanCe to the weak efforts Of Spain to
recspt ure the weRlth.producing parts Of
the island. They have no capital nor
any seaport, and it would be worse than
idle for the United States TO ignore the
well-settled rules Of international law on
the subject Of belligsrency in aid Of a
sentiment. The commerce Of the United
States has suffered sufficiently by reason
Of the outbreak, aud it ought not TO be
made the object Of the repriSsls Of both
sides for the convenience Of politicians.
1t is high time that the conflict was
ended, and it is to be hoped that Mr..
Olney will be able to convince the
Spanish government Of the advisSbility
Of arranging matters with her revolted
,olonists before Congress meets. II
would be better for Spain to surrender
5he island than to bankrupt her treasury
