j. ELLEN FosrEa,s APPEAL.

Mrs j. Ellen Foster has issued an
appeal TO the Republican women; why
her appeal was not issued to the
American women is matter of con-
! lecture. The appeal is far more hys-
/ terical than anything else When one
! is rather tired or suffering from ennui
such reading as her appeal makes tends
to rest tired brain. Hear this: Never
were there more powerful and obvious
motives for persistent and united eff
fort among women than now. Morality
and unity, the indispensable supports
/ Of the home and the nation, are being
assailed."
That's 'just perfectly lovely" in
fact, it is "too cute for anything"
There may never have been any more
powerful motives than those which
should sway those to whom this appeal
is made, but there certainly have been
more powerful motors.
The above quotation was pretty
good, but here is much better one:
Where is the security for the future
] honesty of our sons if they are now
taught the lessons of reputation?
Where is the security for our ma
tional Union that cost US suffering and
blood if partisan Misrepresentation
and intrigue ALLEVIATE the south and
west from north and east?
in the name of good faith and hon
esty, of union and prosperity, we urge
women everywhere to help maintain
: y, Sc m
be done most effectively by united eff
fort in forming women's Republican
clubs, or Mckinley and Hobart clubs
or sound money clubs, where women
can meet and discuss the great issues
of the campaign and can consult as to
plans and methods of influencing vot-
ers."
We cannot say. just where this Sc
curity about which Mrs. Foster is so
frantically anxious is. but we should
not be at all surprised to find it locked
up in the strong box of some goldbug
along with his other securities. And
when found it is sure to have a gold
clause in it, else where the security "for
the future honesty of our sons and
for our National Union?"
Mrs. Foster may not know it, but
there are just as many, if not more
good, pure and lovely women in this
land who desire the election of Mr..
Bryan as there are who desire the cleo
ton of Mr.. Mckinley. They are also
as attached to American ideals and
principles of government as she her
self is, though they may not be so con-
stantly protesting the fact. It is
very narrow view, and only held by
very narrow minds, that holds that all
virtues and patriotism of the American
people are to be found in one party, no
matter what party.

THAT FINANCIAL NEWS STORY.

Some weeks ago The Herald publish
ed an article under the heading Paste
This in Your Hat" 1t was from the
Financial News, London, though start
ed on its campaign tour in this country
by the Omaha World-Herald. The ar
ticIe created such a sensation that it
was copied widely by silver papers and
was commented upon by gold papers.
Inquiry was made at the Office of the
Financial News, London. by some of
the London correspondents of the New
York dailies as to the genuineness of
the article There it was denied that
the News had ever published any such
article. We first saw this denial in
the New York Tribune, the London
correspondent of that paper having
made special inquiry into the matter
The Herald published the fact of the
denial Of the article and repudiated 1T.
as any reputable paper would have
done. The Omaha world-Herald, an
eminently respectable and reliable pa
per, certain that the article was genu-
inc, spared no pains to establish its
genuineness.
1t has done so, and on our front page
will be found the evidence Of it. The
article appeared in the Financial News
on April 30, 1894, and not on March 10,
1896, as was said in the first Dublica-
ton. That the Financial News should
have denied the authenticity of the ar
ticle is very surprising. If there is any
further dispute now about its genuine
ness it must be between Durrant's
Press Cuttings agency and the Finan-
cial News Our Omaha contemporary
has INDICATED itself. We congratulate

DISTORTED FACTS.


Some very extravagant predictions
are being made by western correspond
ents of eastern papers. Some of these
correspondents go so far as to state
that the Mckinley sentiment is very
strong in such states as Colorado, Utah,
Idaho and Montana and that it is
growing stronger daily. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that such statements
are utterly without foundation. The
silver sentiment is stronger in those
states today than it was when they Sc
iected delegates to each national con-
vention and instructed said delegates
to vote for silver candidate and a
silver platform. Strong as the senti-
ment was at that time it is much
stronger today and will be found
stronger still when election day comes
ment of these states constitutes more
than so per cent of the voting populace.
Nor is it to be wondered at that public
sentiment in these states should be so
Overwhelmingly arrayed against the
gold platform and candidate. Involv-
ing, as the problem certainly does, the
industrial and commercial prosperity of
these states, the people would be faith
less to their trust should they subscribe
to the gold doctrine. They are not do
ing it. They will not. Predictions to
the contrary may excite enthusiasm in
the east, but they will make that disap-
pointment which is awaiting the gold
bugs all the more painful when the
silver majorities, which will be noun

provided without an appeal to congress.
BUT we are now asked TO appropriate
100000, If necessary, to charter a ship
to carry the food to Russia
ask, Mr.. Speaker, what right have
we, even if we had a, full treasury,
which we have not to provide for the
carrying of the products of Nebraska
to the suffering inhabitants of a for
eign land, when we had not the author
ity last year to aid the distressed citi-
zens of Nebraska?
There could be no sounder Democratic
doctrine than that. If a Democrat in
congress should not stand up for and
advocate the doctrines of Democracy,
then what should he do? Every true
American sympathizes with the dis
tressed and unfortunate of all nations,
but still it is not within the province
of the government to relieve that dis
tress and misfortune. But the oppo-
nents of free silver are in such sore
distress for arguments that they wild
resort to anything. And what an argu-
ment it is against a Democratic presi-
Dental candidate to say that he is a
Democrat.

TALES OF THE DAY.

T. H Burchell, of New York city. while

Far Rockaway about three months ago

pEMANp PAYMENT IN COLD.

Eastern holders of Kansas mortgages
are demanding payment in gold and
are asking the United States court to
enforce their demands. The first case
of the kind was filed last week, and
the complaint prays the court to decree
that the amount of the mortgage, and
accrued interest, be paid in gold ac-
cording to the terms of the mortgage.
The important point in this quit is that
Kansas has a law forbidding the max
ing of contracts on such terms. The
proceedings for foreclosure having been
brought in the United States court dis
trict, presumably) the mortgage being
resident Of New York, any appeal
from the decision of the court will be
TO higher United States court and
ultimately to the supreme court. If the
law is held to be valid, a law of Con-
gress to the same effect probably would
be; if held to be invalid, probably a
congressional law of the same char
acter would be held Invalid also.
The result of the proceedings to fore
close a mortgage bearing a gold clause
and have the court decree that the pay
ment shall be in gold will be watched
with great interest, especially as the
money plank of the Democratic plat
form favors such legislation as will
prevent for the future the demonetiza-
ton of any kind of legal tender money
by private contract.

THE FORESTRY COMMISSION.


There is now in California a forestry
commission, appointed by Secretary
Hoke Smith, to examine the forest
reservations of the country and sug-
gest needed legislation for their pres
ervation. Members of the commission
are Professor w H. Brewer. of Yale,
Professor c. S. Sargent, of Harvard,
of engineers, u. S. A. A more compe-
tent commission could not have been
secured.
SO immense were the forests of the
country that at one time they seemed
exhaustless, but the people have
learned that they are not. There can
be no wiser legislation than that in
tended for their preservation. Profess
sor Brewer expresses the opinion that
unless stringent measures are taken to
protect the forests of the country there
will be no forests to protect in a very
few years. Interviewed in San Fran
cisco he said:
81 was in California from 1860 to
1864 as first assistant of the state ge-
illogical survey, and during that time
L was so impressed with the grandeur
of the magnificent giant sequoias of
this state that 1 have been lecturing
about them ever since. A great many
stories have been told about the trees
of California and although nothing
more than the truth may be said re-
garding them, the people of the east
are inclined to credit the authors of
the tales with vivid imaginations. I
have been blowing about the big trees
of California all these years at the
risk Of my reputation, and now I have
come back here to find that the giant
pines and frs which I have described
many times as towering hundreds of
feet in the air around the slopes of
Mount Shasta have been almost en-
tirely oblterated I was never so
shocked in my life, and as if they
couldn't get them down fast enough
with the axe, they are blowing them
out of the ground with dynamite.
Il have heard it remarked that the
forests of the west are inexhaustible,
but when one looks at the ruthless de-
struction that has been accomplished
near Mount Shasta in seven years he
will become convinced of the alarming
need for legislation that will preserve
our forests for the benefit of succeed
ing generations"
That destruction which has been ac-
complished in the forests near Mount
Shasta will soon be accomplished in
all the forests of the country if a stop
is not put to it without delay. The re-.
port of this forestry commission should
mark an advance in our civilization.

A SILVER READING ROOM.

The Herald has received the follow
ing from Hon. Hadley D. Johnson:
Inasmuch as the Democratic party
of the state, and of Salt Lake county
has procured rooms for headquarters
during the current political campaign,
and. as other parties have done or will
do the same, ii would seem to be pro-
per, and perhaps of advantage to the
cause of bimetallism for those of IFS
friends, irrespective OF WHAT others
may do, to establish in Salt Lake City
a silver reading room to be kept open
and supplied with silver literature, for
the use Of the inquirer as TO the merits
of silver in combination with gold, as
the money Of the Constitution. What
says The Herald? What say the friends
of Bryan who desire a change for the
public good?
We think it a most excellent sugges-
ton and we should very much like TO
see il carried out; there seems to be
no reason why it cannot be. Such
room would afford a place where all
friends of silver might meet on a
common ground and feel that there
was no partisanship in their common
cause. A person with Democratic lean
ings in politics does not care to go to
Republican headquarters to get silver
literature nor does a person with Re-
publican leanings care to go to Demo-
cratic headquarters for silver litera-
ture. Such a reading room would afford
them an opportunity to get the litera-
ture they wanted without any embar-
rassmen-.
Mr.. Johnson's suggestion is a very
happy one and if taken up and carried
out cannot but result beneficially to the
silver cause.

David Hennion, Uncle Dave" is a
Jerseyman of genius. He dug a well and,
having hit upon much excellent water
thereby, sought to line the sides with
stone. Before he could do more than haul
the stone to its edge the earth caved in
and the water disappeared. Discouraged
but not abating one whit of his inteliec-
tuaiity, Uncle Dave, with great presence
of mind, placed his hat and coat on the
brink of what had been the well and hid
himself in his barn. neighbor came by
and gave the alarm. Presently the popu-
lation of Blairstown was largely below
the surface of the ground, nor did it cease
its labors until it's feet were wet from the
newly found water. After all hope of ex-
humlng David had been given up, and the
well thoroughly cleared, that merry jester
emerged from his concealment. Now his
former friends are trying to induce him
to run for some office-any Office that they
can vote against his holding.-Chicago
