The promptness with which the sill
YER Democrats in the States in which
there are to be campaigns this fall
have accepted exCongressman
Towne's suggestion of abandoning the
features of the Chicago platform ex-
cept that of free silver has given Mr..
Bryan pain. It is we'll understood
that the silver mine-owners who are
the backbone of the silver campaign
look upon Towne as far more avail
able presidential candidate for 1900
than Bryan, and are anxious to substi-
tute Towne for Bryan in the affections
of the silver Democracy as rapidly as
possible. Certainly they have been
very successful in their first efforts,
and their success is recognized by MIR.
Bryan as greatly endangering his own
political prospects.

A reduction in the tariff on coal by
the Wilson bill was followed by re-
duction in wages amounting to nearly
as much per ton as the reduction OF
the duty. That act cut down the coal
tariff IS cents per ton, which is little
more than President Ratchford claims
as having taken place in 1898 in the
reduction of wages. If IS cents re,
duction in tariff cuts down wages rs
or 30 cents per ton, would the removal
of the entire duty, as urged by Mr.
Bryan in his speech in Congress Of
June ID, 1894, leave the miners any
employment at all?

It is Glow down" thing on the part
of the great business firms of the east
to have ordered their western repre-

loans on farm property at low rates of
interest, just as the Pops and "Anar-
Gratis" are preparing to make "scarcity
of money" the chief cry of their fall
campaign.

While the presence of several months
supply of bonded goods in the ware
houses of the country will largely re-
duce the earnings of the new tariff law
for the first few months of it's existence,
Chairman Dingley and other tariff ex-
perts in Washington express the belief
that the new law will supply ample
revenue after this stock of "anticipatory
imports" is disposed Of

The favorable expressions which
have followed President Mckinley 8
desire for special commission to de-
wise plans for the reorganization of the
currency system of the country shows
that this suggestion has struck a popu-
lar chord among the people, prospect
i've of party. The currency troubles
of the past two or three years, coupled
with the fact that specially selected
commission from the business com
munities of the country would be more
likely to examine all sides of the ques.

mittee of Congress, make the Presi-
dents suggestion especially popular
and the subject of approval generally

A recent publication by the New

full legal-tender silver money of the
United States to be $549, 100000; of

but $620,O0O,OOO is full legal tender
and more than half of it has been
coined since 1873. These figures are
published by the New York Journal
of Commerce, a conservative and ex-
tremely accurate paper, whose state
ments on subjects of this character are
always accepted as reliable.

The preliminary conventions of gold
Democrats which have been held in
most of the States in which elections
are to take place this fall show much
larger percentage of Democrats lining
up with the gold wing of the party
than in last falls campaign, and the
leaders of the gold Democracy are
greatly encouraged by this fact.

With a wheat crop of SIS million
bushels in sight in the United States
and an unusually light crop predict
ed in all the other great grain-produc-
ing countries of the world, the pros
poets of the American farmer are
bright. The recent issue of BRAD
Streets which is usually very con-
servative in it's views as to the business
future calls attention to the fact that
the stock of wheat in hand at the pres
ent is unusually light, being only Is
million bushels, while nearly all the
great grain producing countries of the
world have unusually light crops this
year. Recent reports, it says, from
Russia, Germany, France, and Hung
ary point to decreased wheat harvests,
and that India will hardly supply her
home demand, with light crops from
Australia and Argentine, and adds:
"This brings the United States to the
front as prominent wheat exporter
under similar conditions to those which
existed in 1879 over the revival sue

Despite the enormous importations
of manufactured goods, the manufac-
turers of the country are showing an
improved business condition. Re-
ports from various sections show an
increase in the number of hands en-
ployed and hours occupied. Reports
from Dunn's Review covering the
failures for the month of June show
that the failures among the manufac-
turers we're only 238 against 2s4 in
June of last year, while the liabilities
we're only Sc, 365, 0l0 against Sc, 2O9, 1884
in June of last year, and $l2, 156,4Os
in June, 1896.

Mr.. Bryan's recent announcement
that he expects to speak in every
county in his own State in the coming
campaign leads to the suspicion that
his enthusiasm in regard to Ohio is
not as great as it was before that
State in it's convention refused to en-
dorse him for the nomination in 1900.

No tariff law which has gone upon
the statute books within the memory
of the present generation has been as
cordially approved and endorsed even
by members Of the party opposed to
it as is the case with this one. The
growth of the protective-tariff septi,
ment in all parts of the country
coupled with the fact that the new
law destroys the advantages given te
the trusts under the Wilson law, make
it an especially popular measure
while the advantages which it gives t.
the farmers, as we'll as the manufac
turers, adds to its general accept
ability.

General Belief That 1t Marks the Dawn of
Peace Between the Countries.
London, Jan. Recommending upon
the signing of the arbitration treaty
between Great Britain and the United
States, the Daily News says:
''The 11th of January, 1897, will hence
forth be famous day in the history Of
Great Britain and the United States.
1t would be rash to regard the ratifica-
tion of the treaty as a foregone con-
clusion but we are inclined to believe
that the senate will accept it. Any
how, no delay in it's ratification can
undo the moral effect of the signing"
The paper lauds Mr.. Gladstone as
the pioneer of the Anglo-American ar
bitration, and pays a tribute to Pre-
mier Salisbury for using we'll the OPP
portunity to put it on a permanent ba-
sis. In conclusion, it says that prob
ably the greatest honor is due to the
obscure unofficial workers who famil-
iarized the respective peoples with the
idea of international goodwill and ar
bitration.
The Chronicle describes the signing
of the treaty as the event of the cen
tury. 1t warmly congratulates Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, and says:
Seldom has any diplomat had task
that made sterner demands on all the
resources of his art. Never has a
diplomat faced difficulties and over
come them with greater skill and per-
sistence. The British people owe him
their heartfelt thanks. We hope the
first occasion will be taken to mark
her majesty's approval of his conduct.
We trust also that the American peo-
pie will recognize how faithfully and
steadfastly President Cleveland and
Mr.. Olney have served the common
cause of humanity and peace.
The Times says: 1T is difficult to
believe that the senate will go out of
its way to defeat policy that has OBJ
tanned a decided and unusual degree
of approval among the American peo-
pie. If it should not ratify the treaty,
the nation will naturally ask why the
principle asserted by both houses of
! congress six years ago had been ig-
nored when the opportunity was pre-
sented of applying it on a great scale"

PRESIDENT ohEvEAANDs MEssAG Il
He Believes That Great Good VIII Come
In the Adoption of the Treaty.


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE president
sent the following message to the SEN
ate this afternoon, transmitting the
Anglo-American general arbitration
treaty:
ITO the senate: I transmit herewith
treaty or the abitration of all mat
ters in difference between the United
States and Great Britain.
''The provisions of the treaty are the
result of long and patient deliberation,
and represent concessions made by
each party for the sake of agreement
upon the general scheme.
Though the result reached may not
meet the views of the advocates of i'm
mediate, unlimited and irrevocable ar
bltration of all international controver-
sizes, it is nevertheless confidently be-
lieved that the treaty cannot fail to be
everywhere recognized as taking a long
step in the right direction, and as en-
bodying a practical, working plan by
which disputes between the two coun-
tries will reach a peaceful adjustment
as matter of course and ordinary rou-
tine. In the initiation of such an i'm
portant movement it must be expected
that some of it's features will assume a
tentative character looking to a further
advance; and yet it is apparent that
the treaty which has been formulated
not only makes war between the par
ties to it remote possibility, but
precludes those fears and rumors of
y1ycr x,rl,; oh, - tro &c
sumo the proportions of national dis
aster.
TT is eminently fitting as we'll as for
| tunate that the attempt to accomplish
results so beneficial should be initiated
| by kindred people, speaking the same
tongue, and joined together by all the
/. ties of common traditions, common in
| stitutions and common aspirations.
| The experiment of substituting civil
| lied methods for brute force as the
means of settling international ques-
tions of right will thus be tried under
the happiest auspices. It's success
ought not to be doubtful, and the fact
that its ultimate ensuing benefits are
not likely to be limited to the two coun-
| tries Immediately concerned should
cause it to be promoted all the more
eagerly. The example setsand the les
| son furnished by the successful opera
| tion of this treaty are sure to be felt
and taken to heart sooner or later by
other nations, and will thus mark the
beginning of new epoch in civiliza-
] tion.
| Profoundly impressed as I am
therefore, by the promise of transcend
ent good which this treaty affords,
do not hesitate to accompany it's trans
mission with an expression of my ear
nest hope that it may commend itself
to the favorable consideration of the
| senate. (Signed)

IT1LY'S SYMBOL or POWER.
Senator Mills Says 1t is Monkey and an
Organ Grinder.

Washington, Jan. lin his speech
on the Cuban resolution in the senate,
to-day, Mr.. Mills repudiated with hor-
ror and indignation the statement Of
the president that the people looked
with admiration upon the efforts made
by Spain to suppress the Cuban insur-
gents, and said that if he had the pow
er he would send the armed fleets Of
the United States to prevent the butch
cry of American newspaper correspon-
dents and American citizens. If it
were not for the gamblers of the stock
exchange, he declared, it might be pos
sible for the United States to show
some virility. God grant, he said pas
sionately, that the day may come some
| time when the people of the United
| States win be relieved from the shack
les of the mercantile spirit and will
compel all the people of this earth to
respect the rights Of it's citizens.
| Mr.. Mills asserted that the whole
course of the president and of the adj
ministration had been to strengthen
| the power Of Spain and to hasten the
| hour for the destruction Of the insur-
rection in Cuba. He commented scorn-
| fully on the threats Of interference and
said
| "Signor Crispi has declared that It
ally would regard our recognition of the
| independence of Cuba as a very serious
complication of foreign affairs. Who is
Signor Crispi? The day when the Ro-
man name was acknowledged through
out the earth has passed and the SYM
boil Of the power of Italy to-day is a
monkey and an organ grinder. Laugh-
ter in the galleries.)
| Nov, if Signor Crispi takes offence
at the action of congress, and if in con-
junction with Spain he Is disposed to
make a holy alliance, let them come
with their monkeys and organs and
| FINDERS and their hot tomales. (Laugh-
ter.) This government is too great to
sit under threat Of all the armed
powers of the EARTH"
Mr.. Mills closed with some more in
vective against the president. He was
followed by Mr. Hale, rep, of Maine,
who gave the votes in the senate on
the Robert J. Walker resolution for the
recognition Of Texas, showing that it
was only by a tie vote that it escaped
being laid on the table, whereas in the
house it was laid on the table by a
vote of SO to S6.
| After further discussion on the ques-
ton of recognition Mr.. Mills resolu-
tion went over without action, giving
notice that he would address the sem
ate on Wednesday,.
The senate then proceeded to execu-
| tive business and at 5:55 o'clock ad-
| journed.

the epitome of corporeal emotion, or
the poetry of motion. OF course 1t Is
decidedly of the earth earthly, but Car
men was not saint. And her beau
tiful, brilliant voice with it's varying
cclors and marvellous eXpressiveness.
In the amazement over her qualities
as an actress one is inclined to forget
the perfection of her vocal art. And
her personal beauty is also something
tc rejoice over. She is a radiant vision
of loveliness in the last act. And last
night she wore a gorgeous new costume
of black coTered with spangles.
OF the others Signor Ancona and Miss
Traufman succeeded best in pleasing
the audience. Both suffer from the
same fault, an excessive use OF the
tremulando, but were excellent other
wise. Mile. Bauermeister did her usual
faithful and satisfactory work as Fras-
quita. Her use of her voice is worthy
of singer of much greater reputation.
Salignac is a tenor Of the French type
with many of the vocal vices of that
school, but with many of its virtues
also He has plenty of temperament
and worked up a fine climax in the last
act. M. Jacques Bars by good singing
made the small part of Morales" of
especial interest The chorus sang in
it's usual perfunctory style. All the
well known figures were there; the
large unhappy female whose is cross
eyed and small and lively little vixen
who always keeps in evidence. Like
wise the brigands and evil-counte-
naneed men of the male element.

and musically who were present We're:

DEFEAT or Pacific ROADS BrLL
Action in the House Has Changed the
Asnect of Bills Eate in the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE decisive
vote in the house against the Pacific
railroad refunding bill has changed the
condition of affairs with respect to that
meeting of the senate committee Will
be held to decide upon a plan of ac-
ton. Under the program arranged by
the steering committee 1t was to be
made the unfinished business after the
vote on the Oklahoma free homestead
bill, which would have been disposed of
within a very few days.
The judgment of members of the
Pacific committee Is that it would be
useless to consume the time of the
senate in the discussion of the measure
and it appears to be the desire to either
construct a different measure, meeting
some of the objections raised in the
house or let the senate bill go by de-
fault.

London, Jan. ia dispatch from
Bonny, on the upper coast of Guinea,
reports the massacre of all the mem
bers of a peaceable British expedition
which left the coast about January l.,
intending to proceed to Banin City on
the Benin river by way of Sapele The
