The new coinage ratio of 3215 to l

form to the market ratio of the two

is yet Il serious one. What would have
been the result had Japan tried to eS-

would it have taken to drive every piece

In four months after the date of their re-

culties, including the lack OF a clear ma
jority in the senate, the republican party
promises OF the ST. Louis platform. The
opeoing sentence in that. plank runs; I'VE
renew and emphasize our allegiance to the
policy of protection as the bulwark OF Amerl-
can industrial independence and the founda-
ton OF American development and prosper
ity.' That idea has been applied with all
possible directness and is now embodied In
Inc law of the land. The concluding sentence
OF the same plank is: The country demands
a right settlement, and then it wants rest, -
In this prompt action and these firm assur-
auces the business men OF the United States
can see a long period of certainties and a
good prospect OF wise policies. They know
the value of a reputation for keeping prom
ises. Where that Is lacking prosperity is a

All authorities agree that for the
economical production of beet sugar the
sugar factory should be located in close
proximity to the sugar beet producing
area on which it is to be fed with raw
material. The adaptibility OF Nebraska
soil to sugar beet culture has been
proved and the beet sugar industry in
this state is beyond the experimental
stage. There are few equally promising
fields for profitable investment as that
offered by the erection of factories to
convert into sugar the beets raised in
Nebraska.

1t is reported that financial experts in

price of silver is likely to be permanent
ut least for some time to come. 1t is to
be hoped that in this opinion they shall
prove to have been mistaken. Silver Is
M of the products of the United States
and forms n considerable item in its an
nual exports to Europe. 1t is no more to
the interest of silver producing America
to have silver forced down in price than
it is to have wheat low. A more profit
able silver industry would be of no little
benefit to the United States.

When INTO their council, pinched, careworn,

With cheeks pale and hollow, he came limp

But Tim only murmured: 'Bin a nursin'

of the country, anxious for a rest from

DISTRIBUTING THE CONFERENCE.

Professor Elliott Of the Smithsonian In
stitution, who admittedly knows Il good
deal about the seal fisheries, cannot be
commended for his effort to discredit
and in effect the work done by Ambassa,
dor Hay in securing the conference. Pro
fessor Elliott's claim that he has greater
knowledge of the seal question than any
other mar living, while decidedly
egotistical, may be we'll founded and it
Is doubtless true that Mr.. John w. Eos
ter has something to learn in regard to
this question, but it may well be doubted
whether Ambassador Hay has tritied
with this matter rs Professor Elliott
suggests, in securing a conference that
will be meaningless so far as the Ameri-
can ease is concerned. The proposal of
a conference submitted by this govern
ment contemplated something more than
a comparison of notes by naturalists and
1t is manifestly absurd to assume that
any such f~arcical arrangement would
be entered into between the two govern
ments as Professor Elliott speaks OF.
1t may be, as the professor says, that
nothing practical will result from the
conference, If he is correct in saying
that the matter is absolutely controlled
by Canada very little is to be expected,
for the Canadians are undoubtedly dis
posed to continue present conditions.
But 1t is quite possible that 1t may be
found that Canada does not have alb
solute control. AT all events the agree

New York Mail and ENpfess,
Many of the ablest free silver men in
Nebraska are trying to persuade Mr.. Bryan
to stop talking, settle down and give the
country a cha0ce to recover from the scare
that he gave it last fall. They say it Is too
soon for him to begin the campaign of 1900,
and that unless he goes into the house and
keeps still for awhile the people will get
heartily sick and tired of him. This sort of
pleading has no effect on Mr.. Bryan, however,
He goes on talking because he can't help
it. He realizes that If he stops advertising
in the dull season the country won't know
that he is in business in 1900.

Christian EnJeavor Convention
Delays White Pines Mails.

The Christian Endeavcr Conyen-
ton which has been turning things
topsy-turyy in San Francisco in rslig-
ious matters during the past ten days,
has had its effect at this end of tho
line as well, not religiously however,
but in interfering with the arrival of
western mails. Under the new sched-
uls which went into effect on July 1st,
stages bound for Ely leave Eureka
immediately after the arrival of the
train from Paisada on Tuesday,
and Saturday Of each week, and i'm
mediately after the arrival of tho
stage from Paisade on Wednesday,
Friday and Sunday. On each day
that the Ely stsge connects with the
train at Eureka the mail arrives all
right; but on the days that connect
ion is made with the Palsadc stage
at Eureka tho arrival OF western mail
has been somewhat irregular. The
cause of the irregularity is accounted
for as follows; The mail train bring
ing western mail is due at Palisade
at 6 A. M. But since the Christian
Endeavor has been in session in San
Francisco, this train has been over
three hours late on several occasions.
The Eureka train is scheduled to
leave Palisade at A.. NJ, but when
the Central Pacific mail from the
west fails to arrive on time, &c a. m.
the Eureka train lays over until it
does arrive and brings the mail
through. But it is different with the
stage which leaves Palisade promptly
at s A. M, whether the Central Pa
ciffic mails are in or not. The drive
from Palisade to Eureka is long one
and the stage, unlike the train, can
not afford to await the arrival of west
ern mail when it is over two hours
late. 1t must be something ont Of
the ordinary that will throw the C. P.
