RattIeship Texas.

Tn answer to an invitation to Hon.
Fl. A. Herbert, secretary of the navy,
to send the battleship Texas to CALVES
ton in order that the $1,000 silver
service purchased by popular subscrip-
ton by the people of Texas may be
presented to the battleship, the follow
ing letter was received by The Gal
weston News from Secretary Herbert:
81 have given orders to have the
Texas at Galveston on the l6th- or
February. [ have looked into the
matter of the depth of water over the
bar. and it is somewhat doubtful
whether the Texas can get over. Her
captain will be instructed to examine
carefully and go in if he thinks he can
do so. otherwise she will anchor out
and YOU will be able to visit her by
boat. [ hope she may be able to get
in, as [ am sure you will appreciate
having her in the harbOr, but L do not
like to take the responsibility OF decld-
ing this matter for myself. The cap
tain, when he is on the spot, can best
determine whether to take her over
the bar"
Inasmuch as the Texas draws "a feet
of water and the last report OF MAJOR
A. M Miller, engineer in charge OF
the government works at Galveston,
shows tw euty-five feet of water at
mean low tide, where the bar formerly
was, there would seem to be no founo.
alton for the doubts of the secretary OF
the navy as to the ability of the battle
ship Texas to enter Galveston harbor.

Masons and Liquor Dealers

The Grand Lodge of Masons of Mime
sofa have adopted a resolution barring
all those who sell intoxicants from be-
coming Masons in that jurisdiction. An
other resolution was adopted providing
for the expulsion of all persons now
Masons who shall after this date sell
LIQUOR. The move is a sensational one,
as it means the expulsion of at least 100
of the most prominent men in the
state, proprietors of hotels in St. Paul,
Minneapolis and elsewhere.

Postal Saving Banks.

The New York FiaaAcier raps Ditfe-
southern paper-over the knuckles for
Difie's advocacy of Postal Savings
Banks. In replying to Dixie the FInan-
eier says:
en- the first place, conceding the fact
that the two billions of savings deposits
in the United States were to be placed
under the charge of the Treasury, what
would the Government do with them !?
An investment i'll Government bonds
would not use half the fund, and instead
of a small portion of the money in the
United States lying useless in bonds we
would have a contraction i'll currency
serious enough to produce panic"
There is agood deal more in the reply,
but the above is enough. We never
could understand what anybody wanted
with Postal Savings Banks, and don't
think their advocates understood either
But suppose we make in place of Postal
Savings Banks banks of deposit, dis
count and loan, and place them under
government management, what can the
Financier urge against them To our
mind that is the kind of National Bank
we want. They would not contract the
currency. Will the FinGncier please
state its objection, if it has any? There
is strong and growing party in the
country in favor of Government Banks,
and it is none too soon for the defenders of
private national banks" to advance the
strongest objections to the government
bank possible. We would like to hear the
Fi1anciey'S opinion on real government
banks. 1t is good exponent of Wall
street and bank opinion.

The .S1l0ey Knight very timely and
truly says
'Tn Maryland the Republicans will
appeal to every miser, money loaner and
stock jobber and cringing debtor i'll the
name of the gold standard and they will
not appeal in vain. No man who has
ever apologized for the gold standard will
vote for members of the legislature to
seud true Democrat who stands on the
national platform to the Senate of the
United States. Any appeal made to the
henchmen of the enemy by the leaders of
the Democracy will disgust the true men
of the party and all other parties who
would join them for relief, and they will
stay at home and allow plutocracy to be
victorious Let the line be drawn dis
tinctly. Let it be known that one side is
for the people and the other side is for
the gold standard, and the rule of Wall
street and Lombard street will be
DESTROYED"

Very Significant,

The Cecil Democrat which is the orgau
of the party in this county, in its last issue
makes the following bold statement,
which we take as "official'-
''The coming campaign in Maryland
does not involve the financial question at
all. That was an issue last year and was
settled for some time to come by the
overwhelming defeat of free silver
What more definite declaration does
anybody want than this, that the party
has gone over body and breeches to the
gold Democrat camp. To quote further
from this authoritative article:
"By reason of the adoption by the
Democrats of free silver and other con-
party men were forced to abandon the
Democratic platform and vote against the
party candidates"
For Consistent" in the above quotation
insert "Populist" and you have the
organs exact meaning In plain Eng
lish the "free silver" and Populist prin-
ciples last fall drove away the gold DEM
ocrats, and their vote is worth more to the
party than free silver, ETC. This explains
the silence of the Elkton convention, and
leaves no room for doubt. The gold ring
part that the Democrat mourns the loss
of are not going to the party; the party
must go to them. No Populist or silver
man can affiliate with any such an outfit.
The Democrats article is an insult to
every silver man and Populist in the
county. What caused the defeat of the
party in 1895? There was no silver or
Populist doctrine in its platform then, it
was all gold standard

Mr.. T. E. Wardner, editor and pub
Usher of the Boston 7ra7eley, was in the
city yesterday in consultation with SEN
ators Mantel, Tillman, and Cannon, ex-
Representative Towne, and other leading
silver men. Mr.. Wardner said the silver
sentiment in New England was greatly
OH the increase. The continual fall of
prices was opening the eyes of merchants
and even manufacturers to marked de-
gree. Many business people, who voted
for Mckinley, he said, had given up hope
that the tariff bill would bring relief.
They were beginning to see that the con-
tinual pinching of the currency would
finally bring prices so low that bankruptcy
would be inevitable.
''The silver feeling" continued Mr..
Wardner, "in the large towns always very
strong, is increasing rapidly, and will
make itself felt in the next Congressional
campaign. Skilled labor is more than
ever in favor of silver. The shoemakers
of Lynn, Haverill, and other places are
almost to man bimetallists, The Typo
graphical Union is nine-tenths for silver.
There will be at least six silver Congress
men in the next Massachusetts delegation,
and the chances are pretty good that the
next Legislature will contain silver ma
jority. sincerely and honestly believe
that if Massachusetts we're to vote to-
morrow she would cast her lot on the side
of b;metallism as against the gold stan
dard, this, too, in face of the tremendous
majority given to William Mckinley and
gold last November. Washington Post.

Says the New York staff correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press, in one of his
recent letters:
"Mr. Whitney, Governor Flower, John
D. Crimnlins, the traction syndicates of
this city and Brooklyn, will contribute no
money to campaign in which the issues
are free silver and the Chicago platform
and the candidate is an advocate of these
views"
Did any one in all the worlds history
ever know that class of men to be on the
side of the toiling class? Those who
cannot understand the money question,
ought to be as able to shape their course
by these goldbug signs, and steer in the
opposite direction, as the mariner is able
to shape his course by the pole star

FISHERMEN ARE SAFE.
All the Men who Were Carried of on the
Ice Accounted For.

Marinette, Wis, Jan. 1S.-At noon
Saturday all doubt as to the probable
fate of the fishermen was removed. Man
uel Holgren. Charles Nylund, John
Johnson and Otto Larsen came across
from Green island in a skiff and report
ed that they had left six others on the
island. They will be brought over In
the lighthouse keepers boat. AS quick
ly as the fishermen felt the current in
the bay changing Friday afternoon they
knew danger was ahead, and most or
them scurried for the island. All ar
rived safely but Ed Hoffman, who was
being borne away on the ice, when a
boat went out and rescued him. The
most remarkable escape was that or
Sam Lund, who got to shore in his sled.
He was out on the bay and put up
twenty-seven feet Of canvas and liter
ally skinned over slush and cake Ice
and Jumped cracks four feet wide be-
fore reaching strong ice. He was
drenched from head to foot.
