R1sMARCK,s VIEW OFT.

It is very interesting to read the
expressions of opinion of that grand
old veteran statesman Of Germany,
Bismarck, On the recent love feast of
the Car Of Russia and the President
of the French Republic.
The Iron Chancellor Of the most
glorious era of German history ex-
presses himself as exceedingly skepti-
cal regarding the definite nature of the
alleged Franco-Russian alliance. To
his wary mind, the Cars toast to
alliance in reality committed Russia
to very little.
II remember in my own diplomatic
experience" says the greatest diplomat
Ct his age, similar obscure express
sions which were not unpleasing to
the ears of those they concerned. I
do not think the contents of the treaty,
if it exists at all. would please the
French. The policy of the Russian
government has always been cautious,
and l cannot conceive that it would
needlessly commit itself to adventures
from which it would gain nothing
Count Muraveiff has always behaved
as Germany's friend"
1t is more than likely that Bis
marck has grasped the situation; it is
more than likely that the French, for
not the first time in their history,
have gone off at half-cock; it is more
than likely that President Faure has
not only not secured a pledged ally
for France in the event of another
war with Germany, but that he has
given to Russia the right Of interfer-
ence in the event of renewed strained
relations between France and Ger
many which will practically make war
impossible for some years to come.
The old man of blood and iron"
who made possible the present United
Germany did not see fit to pay
tribute of praise to the diplomacy of
the young Car of Russia, but the
tribute is to be found between the
lines of his interview nevertheless.
There is new deal now under way in
the stupendous European game, and
the Car is dealing. If, in the final
counting Of points, it is not found that
Russia has scored certain winnings for
which she has been striving for many
years-notably the weakening of Eng
land and the very material strengthen
ing of Russia in India and in the
neighborhood of tie Dardanelles-
present indications count for nothing.
1t looks now as If new brain were
coming to the front in Europe-the
brain of Nicolas H., vital with that
same sagacity and Slav craftiness that
enabled the Great Peter to lead his
people from barbarism into practically
the first rank of the nations of his
time.

THE CASE or MR. DORR.

The case of Mr.. c. P. Dorr, Con-
gresham from the Third district, is
still the subject of very vigorous COM
ment in the State press, and Charlie"
Dorr is being handled not only with
out gloves, but with clubs.
1t will never be positively known
if Mr.. Dorr was guilty of the offense
charged against him until he either
confesses to the alleged act or discloses
the identity of the unknown friend to
whom he alleges he gave his pass and
who, he further alleges, mslst have
committed the outrage on the Pull
man car on the B. & o., for which the
conductor elected him.

WASHINGTON AND MADRID

Does the Mckinley administration
intend as dernier resort to assert the
Monroe doctrine in dealing with the
Cuban question or not? This cues
ton has been raised by the comments
Of the Spanish press on Gen. Wood
ford's mission which was supposed to
be to Madrid exclusively.
Ell Impartial, the semi-official organ
of the Madrid government, says that
General Woodford has investigated
the spirit OF several European govern
ments regarding the Cuban question.
This proves that the United States &C
knowledge the rights of European
powers in this affair. To that same
tribunal of nations we must appeal
with the enormous strength of our
cause"
Thct 'the United States acknowl-
edge the rights Of European powers in
this affair has a strange sound to
American ears. The United States,
when in proper hands, do not concede
to Europe any rights" in New World
affairs, as such things are considered
on the other side of the Atlantic. If
General Woodford has been Investigate
ing the spirit of any European govern
ment except that at Madrid he has
done so in violation of the sentiment
and traditional principles of his coun-
trymen. President Mckinley may
have instructed him to inquire into the
attitude of Europe toward our interior
ence in the Cuban matter. but if he
did so it was without the warrant of
precedent and another act of dam
gerous assumption for which his ad-
ministration is becoming notorious.
From the viewpoint of the plain
American citizen. all General Wood
ford ought to do is to learn definitely
what Spain's intentions are with re-
gard to Cuba, and if these intentions
do not contemplate a speedy check on
the brutality being practiced by the
Spanish armies in Cuba then it is his

pose Of enabling favored parties, such

pose Of enabling favored parties, such
as the trusts mentioned, manufactur-
ers, steel barons. coal operators and
the like, to exact for themselves, not
for the Treasury of the United States,
a tribute from the people of this coun-
try. Gold Democrats are encouraged
by Republicans to keep a distinctive
organization and nominate a candidate
in Kentucky for what purpose? To
enable the Republican party to keep
control of Kentucky in order that Re-
publican doctrines, Of which we had
sample in the force bill, of which we
have continuing samples in tariff bills,
of which we find illustrations in the
conduct of federal judges, who, at the
behest Of trust, will issue an injunc-
ton subversive of personal liberty,
may have no successful challenge from
the electorate. Why are Republicans
urging gold Democrats to have candi-
dates of their own in the legislative
field in Ohio? Not in the expecta-
ton that they will be successful at
the polls, but in the hope that they will
so divide the Democratic vote as to
enable Mark Hanna easily to be his
own successor in the Senate of the
United States. Why are gold Demo-
Gratis patted on the back by Repubit-
cans and asked to keep up an active
and aggressive organization in Iowa,
save by that means 1t is hoped the
Republican ring of that State will be
enabled to perpetuate itself? The Re-
publican monkey proposes to make of
gold Democrats a cat's-paw for the
purpose of rakirg its chestnuts out of
the fire. To right minded Democrat,
who has seen the uses the Republi-
can party has made Of power gained
by the action of gold Democrats, furth-
er Indirect support of Republicanism
IN any shape must be abhorrent. Gold
Democrats may not agree in all re-
spects with the idea that is presented
by majority of Democrats on the
currency question, but they know that
continued ascendency of Republican,
ism means no such currency reform
as they think is necessary and they
know further that the Republican par
ty has gained power only to abuse it
through itz exactions from the people
for the benefit of its friends. The
Democrat who hopes to destroy the
whole protective system as burden
some and Outrageous can never succeed
by continuing factions in the Demo-
cratic party. Republicans have had
their opportunity to prove their patri-
otism and disinteredness, and they
have given the country the most
abominable tariff ever enacted. If gold
Democrats desire to be practically
hewers of wood and drawers of water
far a rapacious and constituencies
crowd they will continue facttonal Or
ganlzation. If they wish to defeat the
Republican party as it deserves to be
defeated they must act as they are
now acting in the main, unitedly.
The evils of deprecated currency
that may be are as nothing compared
with the evils that the Republican
party have brought upon this country
through their atrocious tax measure"

THE cor. AND THE GOLD DEMO
Gratis

The Chicago Chronicle. which did
not support Bryan in the last carr
paign, has no patience with the ad-
iunct of the Republican party which
calls itself the National Democratic
marty. The only chance the Republi-
can party has to win in any election,
state or National, is to divide the
forces of the Democracy, and the Ma
tiopal Democrats suit the Republican
purpose exactly.
AS the Chicago Chronicle. which
was in the last election a supporter of
the Palmer ticket, says, there is the
gold Democrats are in the field for no
other purpose in the Republican view
than to make probable in some cases,
and possible in others, the election of
Republicans. Democrats who hold
certain convictions upon the currency
question re to continue an organi.
zation and present candidates specifi-
cally of their conviction against the
general conviction of the Democratic
party in order to enable Republicans
to do what? To reform the currency
They decline the task. The Republi-
can party hope to have the assistance
of the gold Democrats in the endeavor
to defeat the Democratic party that
Republicans may be successful and
minister in their tariff enactments to
the Sugar Trust and the hundreds OF
combines that fostered and en-
rri6n ed BY tari1 egislation. The Re-
ms look he assistance OF gold
