Now for two days, says the New 70; |
Journal, will flock to the national capl-
tai trust magnates and corporation at
torneys in their private cars to ha1l the
of plutocracy's special pres
ident. Some 20 to take their seats IN
the cabinet. some to find their places IN
the senate, some to be on hand Wheh
the moment of settlement for tavoTs
done in the late campaign shall arrive.
It is to be the most gorgeous Inaugural
ton in the history of the nation Inc
inaugural ball, thanks to the broad and
liberal ideas of Mr.. Mark Hanna, Will
eclipse in magniiCence any entertain
ment the capital has ever witnessed
There will be champagne enough TO tioat
q war ship and terrapin enOugh to sink
it. The public buildings are to be deco
rated and Illuminated for the first time
since the fall of Richmond. If there be
disappointment anywhere in the land
over the failure of prosperity to revive,
no echo OF it resounds at Washington.
Meantime, what do the great masses
of the people find to rejoice over in this
| Inauguration Of a new president OF the
limited States? Restive under the In
creasing and dangerous concentration
of wealth, they find their new executive
! recognizing wealth only in the construc-
! tion of his cabinet. Protesting against
the extortions of the trusts, they see the
ex-president of one trust made secretary
of war. and one of the most famous
trust attorneys standing on the :hres-
| hold of the attorney generals Office
Viewing with grave apprehension the
growing political power of the natlona
hanks. they note that for the first time
in the history of the Republic anatiOna
bank president is made secretary OF the
treasury. Crying that in the name o.
humanity and of justice the nation ex
tend a kindly hand to Cuban patriots
thev are asked to endure vacilitatinl
secretary of state, blowing hot or colC
upon the generous sentiments of the ma
ton according to his passing whim o
the momentary influence which possess
es him.
Let those that will make merry at tn
ball, or march in the parade which es
corts a mortgaged President to the capi
tol. To the thoughtful, Thursdays fes
tival marks the opening of an era fu
: of peril to the people and to the Reput
lie. 1t Is always the mad days OF cal
nival that usher in the season of fastin
and repentance.

Venezuelan Commissions Report

Washington, March 1.-The report of
the commission appointed 10y the presi
dent to determine the true divisional
line between Venezuela and British
Guiana; though volumInous docu-
ment, lacks the interest which might
have attached to it, owing to the fac'
that the commission did not make a re-
port on the boundary question, leaving
that to be determined by the arbitration
decided upon between the two govern
ments most interested. Great Britain
and Venezuela. Especial reference is
made to the evident desire on the part OF
the two governments directly concerned
to aid the commission in its investiga
ton

Dropped Into a Mine.

Wyoming, Pa, March 1.-The sur
face of the Mt. Lookout mine caved in
this evening, with a report resembling
an explosion, houses being shaken as by
an earthquake. The postoffice building
on one of the main streets, sank % feet
and is complete wreck. 1t was with
difficulty the mails were removed. John
Berbyshires' house, adjoining. is also a
wreck, the foundations being carried
down fully so feet, the inmates having
a narrow escape. There are at least a
dozen other houses in emiuent danger
There are 90 mules in the mine and
there is little hope of saving them. The
damage to property will be great Day
light aions will show just what losses
have been sustained.

IS an editorial commenting on Mr..
McKinley's expressed wish that the
$50. 600 which the Inauguration com
mittee purposes to spend on the ceremo-
nies should be set aside for charity, the
Kansas Times says:
Just now the millions of dollars con-
tributed by the slush funders, whose
money was the main factor in Mckin-
ley's election, would remove all the press
ing want and dire distress of the desti-
tutc and unemployed people IN the Uni
ted States during the continuance of rig
orous weather and leave enough surplus
to pay for dozen inaugural balls such
as the impending one.
Major Mckinley and such of his hu-
name trends as have grown rich out of
the class legislation and protective poll
cy of the Republican party would do well
while this fit OF charity is on them to re-
fleet on the long chain of causes which
have made gaunt poverty, companloned
by sickness, destitution, idleness and
hunger, stalk through the cities of the
land, bringing death to many, suffering
to thousands and cansing the humilia-
ton of receiving aims to make bitter the
bread of other thousands of honest men
and women, all too willing to work il
the door of opportunity were not locked
and barred against them.
The policy of protection, which en-
riches those who haye much and i'm
poyerishes those who have little, upheld
by Major Mckinley and the cormoran
trusts, monopolies and money grabber
who elected him, are responsible almos
entirely for the conflagration of miser,
which he has expressed a wish to e1tin
guish with the inconsiderable sum to b
spent on Mark Hanna's inaugural ball

A CRY comes from England that the
em ployment of cheap labor by German
manufacturers and traders is running
British industries in which higher wages
are paid. Probably the real cause of the
trouble is due to the greater attention
paid to the cultivation of technical skill
in Germany. But the fact that higher
wages are paid in free trade England
than in Germany, where the protective
policy has been adopted, should set our
protective theorists to explaining and our
workingmen to thinking.

A COMPLIMENTARY luncheon was given
at the Hotel Bartholdi, Philadelphia,
Saturday, to William Jennings Bryan.
Elliot Danforth, the chairman Of the
Democratic state committee, presided,
and, in responding to his address of
welcome, Mr.. Bryan made . red hot
speech, encouraging the bimetallists and
declaring that the free silver fight must
go on. He said in part:
al have never lost the opportunity
since the election to assure those who
labored for free coinage here, that we,
who in the west and south, have more of
local victory to rejoice over, recognize
the vslor with which you made the fight.

serves more credit than those who made
the fight in New York city, which is the
centre of the gold influence in the Uni.
ted States.
"I appreciate the work which you
have done and the moral courage which
1t has required, and when the history Of
those years is written the textman will
have to say that there were heroes in
those days, and that New York, New
England and the Eastern states furnish
ed their share of those heroes.
al want to say to those who have
fought that the fight is not done. l
have found a great many who had not
been with US before election day or cleo
ton days who have come to us since the
election. If your experience has been
the same as mine you will find that there
has been a profound disappointment
among many who were led to believe
that the maintenance of the gold stand
ard, or the positive declaration that il
would be maintained, would restore con-
fidence, revive business and bring back
prosperity. This has been the result
''The gold standard is doing now just
what if has always done. 1t is helping
those who own money, and hurting
those who are producing wealth.
''I want to say that the agitation will
go on until every American citizen un-
derstands the money question, and then
we want them to vote on it. But | dc
not believe any question can be settled
through the intimidation practiced
through moneylenders and employers.
Men most be free. They must have the
right heart. and l believe the question
cannot be settled until the verdict is that
of the right heart, and not of the body
bent down under the LASH

shall be glad to bring back the news that
the bimetallists of New York are not
ashamed OF the fight they made"

He May BE Unable to Attend the Inaug-
uration Ceremonies.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-President
Cleveland has suffered for week past
from rheumatic gout which has now
assumed such proportions that there is
some question whether or not he will be
able to take part in the inaugural cere-
monies at the capitol on March 4,
though he is taking special care of him.

part in the ceremonies. While his con-
dition is not such as to excite any alarm
it Is extremely painful.
The presidents condition Is causing
anxiety to senators and representatives
of both parties, wiz fear that 1t may
cause him to leave unsigned a number
of minor bills of particular interest TO
the members who have been pushing
them, and which otherwise would have
received the presidents signature be-
fore the closing of his term of office.
As to the possibility of the president s

The retirement of Grover Cleveland
from the presidency is a relief to the
Democracy who were responsible for his
elevation to that office. His separation
from his party and his alignment with
the Republicans on the currency issue
left him without party and as his new
frienda are not particularly anxious for
his ABSORPTION, he retires to private life
without prestige, friendless and alone,
except the few friends made by their ap-
polntment to office. Despised by the
party that made him and no. wanted by
the party who benefited by his treach-
cry he will drop into political oblivion
which is much better fate than he de-
serves. What load bas been taken
from Democracy.

GENERAL SIMON IBoLIyER BUCKNER,
vice presidential candidate of the gold
Democrats in the late campaign, is very
sorry now for the part he played in the
election of Mckinley. He expresses
himself:
81 can say, in a general way, that the
general trend of Republican ideas is
such that l fear there can be no greater
prosperity in the coming four years
From what can see, Major Mckinley
has practically abandoned the issue on
which the election was won. l can see
no indication of any purpose to advance
the cause of sound money, and thereby
enhance the stability of business. The
trend of ideas seems to be in the direc-
ton of the so called principles for which
the party has for years contended-high
protection and the various forms of pa
ternalism which are part of the Repub-
lican scheme. 1t was this policy of the
Republicans that created populism, and
in its continued advocacy | cannot see
anything but continued disaster"
Gen. Buckner, at the time he bolted
the Democratic ticket, was old enough
to have better sense. Whatever else he
may have done, Major Mckinley de-
ceived nobody about the tariff He fav-
ored return to the same level of the
monopoly measure OF which he was
sponsor some years ago. His speeches
and writings during the campaign left
no doubt on that point. Buckner can
now repent, if he so desires, but repent
ance is too late.

Hundred and Seventy Five Perished.

City of Mexico, March 1.-The latest
news from the mine disaster at Zacat-
ecas shows that the calamity is fully as
bad as first reported. Fire broke out in
Sanamoro mine, one of the properties of
the SOmbrerete company, and commun
icated to the San Francisco mine. The
principal shaft in the former is 5000
feet deep, and a rescuing party went
down to the bottom, butwere nearly suf-
focated by smoke. The cornish miners
displayed unusual heroism in attempt
ing the relief of the imprisoned men.
Ten bodies have been taken out. and all
show signs of asphyxiation. There is
no longer any doubt that 40 miners
perished.

Philadelphia Wants the Capital

Philadelphia, March "a number
of prominent citizens gathered in the

served by establishing the capitol at
Philadelphia. Mayor Warwick appoint
