Vicious Attacks of Democratic organ.
Repulaed.

Ii will be noticed that the papers
which are predicting that the govern
ment will be victimized in the Kansas
Pacific sale n few weeks hence are the
very papers which were elamoring that
the government would be beaten an
the Union Pacific sale. They are dem
ocratic papers, OF the extreme left of
that party. That is 10 say, they are
the yellow papers OF New York, with
their annexes in few of the other cities.
They predict that the government will
be beaten because they would like, for
partisan reasons, 20 have this take place.
The wish dictates the prediction. As
the government is run by the repub-
lican party, failure by the government
would, these papers believe, be great
advantage 10 the democracy. When the
interests OF the democracy and the in
terests OF the country conflict-and
they usually do conflict~-the yellow
press is for the democracy every time.
Attorney General McKenna throws a
little light on the situation which viii
do much 70 dispel all the doubts which
are honest That official tells, what
everybody who has any knowledge OF
the matter knows, that the ownership
OF the Kansas Pacific Is part OF the COM
mittee's reorganization scheme. The
/ committee holds certain liens on the
i Kansas Pacific which are later than
/ those OF the government. They also
/ hold the first mortgage. Thus they
I have an interest in the road which they
ARE bound TO protect. The threat that
they may parallel the road is simply a
threat that they will destroy their own
property This is not going TO delude
anybody except those who want TO be
dcluded. The committee has vital
interest in protecting these later liens
Ii can protect them in only one way
which is now open, and that is by get
ting possession of the road. The gov
eminent will see TO IL that the commit
tee does not get the ownership OF the
read unless il bids.
In this whole Pacific railroad mnttei
The administration has shown great in
telligence and dexterity. The hand tha
forced the syndicate to pay the govern
ment's entire claim in the Union la
ciic deal has not lost its cunning in thu
past dny or two. No reasonable person
believes that the syndicate is going Il
fool the administration in the coming
adjustment The country has conf
dence in the gentlemen whoare runninl
the government. All the concern whicl
the administration has in the approach
ing sale is to see That the peoples in
terosts are protected. Everybody con
cedes that the peoples interests wer
adequately protected in the negotia
tion just completed. The same yigi
lance, courage and intelligence will b
, displayed in the deal which is nbou
TO be made. This is a case in which IN
government Is master OF the situation
and the committee as well as the GOV
eminent knows this. In this adjust
ment the peoples interests are in cap'
, BILE hands.-St. Louis Globe-Democra

IN THE SEWER.
Gold Democrats Have only One Al
tentative.


The general result OF the recent cleo
tons shows with perfect plainness that
the democratic party stands fully com
initted 10 all which William j. Bryan
stood for in 1896. The gold democrats
made an utterly inconsequent showing
everywhere. SO far as can be seen now
there is not an exception 90 this rule
% be found. The party lines OF dcmar-
cation are deeper and more definite, II
anything. than they were last year, but
otherwise they have undergone no
change. Mr.. Bryan may or may not be
nominated again, but Organism is SUI
preme. Gold democracy is in the sewer,
silver democracy on top. Any demo-
crat who Ia sincerely and earnestly OPP
posed 20 Organism is bound, by the
logic OF the situation, 20 cast his lot In
with the republican party. The Car
isles and Fairchilds who appealed TO
the Palmer-Buckncr democrats to rally
around n standard Of their own viii
hardly have the effrontery TO repeat
that appeal in 1898. If they should they
would expose themselves 60 ridicule. As
we'll raise the old standard OF the Silver
! Grays.
If the cause OF sound money depended
upon the democratic party all would
bc lost and in despair. Fortunately
there is no danger With Mckinley In
the white house and republican con-
press AT the other end OF Pennsylvania
avenue there Is no reason 60 be appre'
hensiyc. The restored confidence which
is the foundation Of prosperity viii not
be shaken, and prosperity will continue
20 be on top.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The bulk OF the gold brought down by
the Portland was shipped away at San
Francisco and Helena, but considera-
bic amount OF IL found it's way into COM
mercial channels Of this city through
the process Of melting down into bars
and its purchase by the banks, All day
long Joseph Mayer was casting bricks,
and the process was as simple as that
of the same application TO running Off
lot OF plowshares or firebaeks for
stoves, only infinitely more interesting.
The casting was done in the shops
fronting ON Cherry street, and during
the day about 900 was handled. In
the Second avenue window Of the con-
Germ was pan containing 81 900 worth
Of dust and nuggets, and curious
crowd pressed around the yellow dis
play until 1t was finally removed, to be
converted into bright lump about nine
or ten inches long. three-eighths OF an
! inch thick and three inches wide. These
pieces were worth 81 700 each.
The room where all this casting was
done was blisteringly hot. 1t was above
the main floor Of the wholesale depart
ment The floor is covered with iron.
Along the sides are canopies Of iron that
look like the tops OF bakers ovens.
These canopies may be closed in front

flames play all around II. IL is ncces-
sary 10 turn of the blast before the
crucible can be looked into, SO fierce Is
the heat.
Down In the bottom OF the white mass
there Is a line that indicates where the
gold ends and the vessel begins. When
In has become a homogeneous compound,
by AN instinct born OF experience the
operator lifts the cover; then the blast
Is withdrawn.
a pair Of tongs lifts another cover
from the crucible itself, and then the
mold is lifted into pan standing on
the iron platform. The tongs are
brought into requisition and the cruel
bic is turned above the mold. a thick
lip OF red metal protrudes Itself, and
from under It, in thin, white stream
runs the gold into the iron mold.
A thick cloud Of yapor arises from the
contact OF the melted gold and the
grense with which the mold has been
smeared BY this time the clamps are

fau he was repudiated by a majority
of DOC. 600 OF the voters OF this coun-
try. In the, states of the east, where
the chief commercial and industrial IN
terests OF the country lie, that repudia-
ton was simply overwhelming.
BRYAN has, however, refused 20 ac-
cept his reputation. He pretends to
believe that he and the cause he repre-
sented arc stronger to-day than they
we're year ago. He is talking the
same revolutionary rot, the same drivcl
about foreign control OF the finances OF
the United States, and indulging in the
same frenzicd appeals to class preJu-
dice.
Bryan was brought 20 Ohio for the
express purpose of helping John X.
Mclean capture the United States SEN
ntorship. Bryan thus worked for
man who represents something which
Is as far from what Bryan pretended
20 represent one year ago as pole ~
from pole. No man who stands for the
masses, rs BIghh piNN'hNNN -
can say one word in favor OF the cleo
ton OF n democratic Legislature, when
he knows, as Bryan knows, that all the
democratic candidates for the legisla'
turc are pledged TO vote for Mclean
But Bryan came 20 Ohio this year
not as the champion Of the free coinage
OF silver. not as the leader OF a great
and aggressive party, but as the hired
man Of John r.. Mclean, and he has
spoken 10 tho people az so much per
hour for the time actually employed I'm
short. Bryan is political mountebank'
and everything that he can say or do
was discounted last year. The only ef.
feet OF his coming 10 Ohio this year Will
probably be TO drive more democrats
away from their party than left u last
year.-C Cleveland Leader.
