CONFIDENCE, BUT

In the east they are still prattling
about the success of the popular loan
to the government. The success of the
government loan is referred to with
iteration as tiresome and vain as
that Of old Polonius in Hamlet, where
he 50 repeatedly insists that the young
princes madness grows out of disap-
pointed love of his daughter. And
there is about as much cause for ioy
over the Success of the government
bond sale as there was sense in the
surmises of the tiresome old courtier
that Hamlet was mad, because the
fair Ophelia's" presence was denied
him Old Polonius should have re-
membered that as "men have died ere
now and worms have eaten them-but
not for love-" so men have gone mad
ere now-but not for love: at least,
none that had much wit to loose in
the first place, as we take in the prince
of Denmark had. So also our single
gold standard government admin
istration may have cause for joy, but
six months hence they will know that
it does not come from success of the
government sale Of bonds, unless. in
deed. it can be that men have SO parted
from their wits as to rejoice at the
prospect Of endlessly increasing the
governments indebtedness to keep in
tact this slippery reserve Of gold.
Let US see what the facts are: The
government desires to purchase $780,
100000 in gold by the sale of four per
cent bonds. It is induced by public
clamor to call for bids from the peo-
pie. The people respond by bidding for
the bonds five and half times over,
at rate that will ensure them the
bonds at SO per cent interest per an
mum. Whereupon the east, or at least
that part of it that is welded to the
policy Of a single gold standard, go
wild with Joy over this bond sale It
bespeaks the confidence of the Ameri-
can people IN the financial soundness
of the policy of their government: it
puts quietus on the silver craze; it
bespeaks the revival of business and
trade, and the return of golden rays
Of prosperity. That this is not an ex-
aggerated statement as to what is ex-
pected as the results of the success of
the popular government bond sale

AMERICAN B1,1ErALL1o UNION.

In another column will be found a
communication from Hon. Thomas G..
Merrill, treasurer of the American BIZ
metallic union. 1t outlines what will
be the policy of the union should the
two great political parties fail to give
such recognition to silver as the union
thinks would bring about the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to L.
Our own belief in the matter is that
ty is not wise; that it would put fur
ther off than ever the realization of the
object for which it would be formed.
That the financial question will be
the one great issue Of the presidential
campaign Of 1896, there is little or no
doubt That there is q strong desire
on the part of some, all Republicans,
we think, to make tariff the issue, is a
fact generally recognized. It and all
other issues are secondary to the f.
nancial one. AS Mr.. Merrill says,
"There IS no comparison as to the
benefits to all the industries of the
country that would accrue under the
tariff act as to what they would re-
ceive under the passage Of the free
coinage BILL
When the reconciliation of silver
comes it will come through the Demo-
cratic party. The friends of silver
have nothing to hope from the Repub-
lican party. scarcely more from the
formation of an independent silver

BISHOP KEANE ON LITERATURE

Literature at its best may be defined
as the highest expression of the highest
human thought, but there is so much of
literature that is base and sordid that
tests are needed in order to determine its
excellence or want of excellence. Ldtera-
ture must be beautiful, it must be true,
and it must be helpful to humanity. By
these three qualities we may establish
three testS-the tests of beauty, truth and
goodness. But how are these tests to be
applied? Just as art aims after the ideal,
and philosophy reaches back to the first
cause-God-so we must look above man
for the qualities needed to apply the
tests.
PHILOSOPHY and theology both teach
us that God is the first cause, and that
therefore He is necessarily true, beau
tiful and good; and when God gives ex-
iStence to creation, creation must mirror
the perfectionS of the Creator. Man is
the elimination Of the creation, and
hence in man there must be the true, the
beautiful and the good, in such proper
tons as mans finite nature will permit.
He should therefore be in harmony with
these qualities in nature, and in this way
is developed his sense of truth, his sense
of beauty and his sense of goodness.
These senses are the tests that he ap-
plies to literature.
IF we see anything that is eminently
beautiful our nature should be thrilled
by the sight. That is the first element of
the artists power. The second element is
the power to give expression 10 IndL
which is seen. The same thing is true
of music and literature. The artist is the
man who not only feels beauty, truth
and goodness but is able to give express
sion to what he feels. Art and music are
great gifts of expression, but the gift of
literature, of speech, transcends them
both. What art has given more delight
than the poems of Homer or Milton?
What music more than the words of
Virgil, Pope or Tennyson?
Literature is a setting forth of the
philosophy of life. Every writer has his
own philosophy, and in his writings he
gives it to the world, whether it be bad
or good. The man who reads is more
or less under the influence of that phil
osophy, whether it be bad or good. The
literature Of the early part of the century
was tainted by the skepticism Of Vol
taire. Skepticism leads to atheism, and
atheism to animalism. The elimination
of that tendency you will find in lola,
author Of Human Brutes," which de-
picts human beings as on the level of
animals. The opposite tendency of reach
ing after the ideal you will find attain
ing its most lofty form in Dante.
s'In conclusion, I would remind you
of the way in which readers are inf1u-
enced by what they read. Remember, too,
that you cannot read all books, you can
not even read all the good books, there
fore choose only that which Is best and
draw the good from that And if any
of YOU become writer's, 1 charge you to
write nothing but what will be recog
nized by mankind as good, and beautiful
and true"

THE ENDLESS CHAIN WORKING.

Sunday morning we had short ar
ticle on the fact that the day before
gold was at premium in New York.
In the course of the article we said:
What will be the first consequence
of this premium on gold? It will be
to cause those who want it to go
where it can be obtained most easily.
That place is the United States treas
ury. This will be done by the we'll
knewn process of taking greenbacks
and treasury notes and presenting
them for payment in gold. From the
bond sale it is probable that about a
hundred and twelve million dollars
will be realized. The question now is,
How much of this will the treasury
itself be required to furnish?" At the
close of business yesterday the treas
ury gold reserve was considerably less
than fifty millions. It will take but a
comparatively short time to exhaust
that If gold continues to remain at
premium. The consequence of the
very successful popular bond loan
promises to be this: There will be a
net gain of gold to the treasury of
perhaps sixty to seventy millions; a
net increase. of the public debt of one
hundred millions
Tuesday morning there was pub
lished in the papers this telegram from
Washington:
Gold to the amount of 81, 3S1, 900 was
today withdrawn from the subtreasury
at New York. presumably to be used
again in making payments for bonds.
This leaves the true amount of the
gold reserve S42, G66,S69 Up to the hour
of closing, the department had no Off
cial notice of deposits on account Of
bond purchases.
If the present determination of the
administration to make coin mean gold
and nothing but gold is adhered to,
the public may make up its mind that
another bond issue will be announced
at no far distant day. If kept UP long
enough the consequence will be ma
tional bankruptcy when no loan will be
successful be 1t popular or syndicate.
Something will have to be done, and
done shortly. 1t may be that some day
the golden scale that is over the peo-
pies eyes will fall and that then they
will have clear vision and see where
the real trouble lies They will have
it in their power in June and July to de-
mand of the two great parties that they
declare for free silver and solve the
financial problem once and for all.
Let the demand be imperative.

the purpose of making a demand"
(such is the word in the telegraphic
account) on congress for pensions. 1t
is further stated that it is the purpose
to make the organization of national
scope.
If senators of the United States will
introduce such bills, it is to be expected
that those who are made bene1ciaries
by them will organize themselves to
further the object of the bills. But
why should the United States pen
sion the ex-slaves. While slavery was
a great blot upon the nation. and
while its wrongs were such as to make
mems blood boil, to wipe out that blot
the nation poured out it's blood like
water, and this was the blood of free
born white men, Whatever of moral
obligation the nation owed to the ne
gro race it paid in the war for the
union. The government owes its negro
citizens just what it owes its white
citizens; no more, no less. Those who
fought as soldiers in the rebellion are
entitled to the same consideration as
their white comrades.
That which the ex-slave population
of the United States has always need
ed most, and does today, is self-reli-
ance and independence. It has ever
been recognized that the great objec-
ton to the emancipation proclamation
was the fact that it forced some mil
lions of dependent negroes to rely upon
themselves for the obtaining of their
own livelihood when they were not
prepared to do so. That they were not
was their misfortune and not their
fault. Since that time, a third of
century ago, the negroes have been
solving the problem that their emanci-
patton created better than the most
sanguine had hopes of. They have
advanced wonderfully and will con-
tinue to advance. Let no step back
ward be taken.
Senator Thurston's bill is to be
looked upon as bid for the colored
vote in the presidential election; it is
demagogism pure and simple.

pensions ron Ex-sLAvEs.

The other day Senator Thurston, of
Nebraska, introduced bill to pension
ex-slaves. To all negroes now living
who were once in slavery he would
have the government grant a pension
ranging from 81 month for any ex-
slave less than fifty years old, to sis
a month for one who is seventy years
old, while the latter is also to receive
a gift of $500 from the government.
The first consequence of the intro
duction of this bill by Senator Thurs
ton is the effecting of an organization.
