Republicans howled horribly when
President Cleveland sent Mr.. Blount as
special commissioner to Hawaii. OF
course the same gentlemen see nothing
wrong in President Mckinley sending
special commissioner to Cuba. A Havana
paper says that there are not 800 hun
cry Americans in the island, and adds:
"But now that Congress has voted the
$50, 900 there will be Z, 900 alleged starving
Americans anxious to figure in the con-
sular disbursements" A Chicago paper
says: "The American workman out OF
job must he profoundly impressed
with the value to him of an American
Government which, overlooking his
situation, is melted to tears and moved
to generosity in the contemplation OF
some beggarly American adventures in
neighboring island"

INEVITABLE RESULTS OF WAR.

War means vast destruction Of pro.

dustries, the accumulation Of public
debts, the growth of extravaganza and
corruption in government, the license of
despotic power in the hands Of rulers,
the recognition of a military caste with

senatorial Economy.

1t is said that a hotelkeeper in Wash
ington. who has several distinguished gen.
tlemen and their wives on his books, has
made some rather funny admissions, though
he declines TO mention any names. He
says that oneof the most troubles things
in his business is the trick of cooking in
rooms. Some people, instead of coming
to the hotel cafe, as they might be ex-
pecsed to do, make use OF the gas jet for
this purpose, to the detriment OF the fur
niJure, the walls, the gas hill and the
purse of the hotel-keeper. To receive a
parJy OF people high in the councils Of the
nation; TO make calculations on having
them for three, or. at least, two, meals
day, with all due state and ceremony, and
then to receive only half of that day sboard
is certainly disappointing.
The hoUelkeeper says that people do this
who would not be expected to do it. He
says that one suite OF rooms in his house is
occupied by a Senator and his wife, WHO
hold regular receptions in these rooms, and
are reasregularly congratulated on theirquar-
tiers. After the guests are gone the Sena-
tors wife lights gas stove, the Senator
takes some sandwiches out of his pockets
and they eat their dinner of sandwiches and
coffee.
IL these things are so they ought to be
stopped. Our Senators are poor, it is
true, but not so poor that they need to

What difference Money Makes.

We are glad 10 learn, on the authority
of the London Daily News, that this Gov
eminent has made to England a vigorous
protest against thebutchery of poor mothers
and their innocent children on and in the
rieinity OF the Pribilov Islands in Bering
Sea We do not doubt that the protest
would be followed by still more imperative
measures if it were not needed.
The reason we think 50 is that the mothers
and children in question have valuable IuT
on their bodies, the preservation OF which
is ofimportance TO the Alaska Commercial
Company, and to all the sympathizing and
hu.na nitarian DANES OF America who are
fond Of sealskin jackets and cloaks. In
short, theTeis money in it, and that seems a
necessary condition precedent to q pro
test against inhumanity anywhere.
Poor mothers and their innocent children
are having worse than pelagie war waged
upon them on an island nearer to US than
the Priblov group. We know the past his
tory Of the fiendish hostllIties carried On
against them. Their continuation with re-
doubled fury is Illustrated in Weyler's just
reported order to the chief of police OF Ha-
vana: Il recommend you to exercise great
vigilance, and not to be moved to leniency
through any consideration for their sex,
which would be against the interests OF the
country"
These poor mothers and innocent children
are only miserable, outraged, tortured,
macheted human beings, with bodies 20
suffer agony and souls to require God s
vengeance on their prosecutors and muir
derers But they do not have fur on their
backs They cannot be made up into seal
skin sacques and dolmans. There is not
any money in it. Wherefore should the
United States protest?

Besides the club members were present

subject of Mr.. Jefferson's address was the
drama He opened with a pleasant refer

The difference was, he said, that in those
days he came as an actor and now he aI-
peared before his hearers in the disguise of
a lecturer.
Mr. Jefferson spoke of the great inpor-
tance of complete preparation of an actor.
II mattered not how talented the individual
might be, he must be thoroughly equipped
in other directions. The distinguished COM

all of the questions his fair listeners desired

THEIR MISSION WILL FAIL.
A Republican silver Senator's View
of the BimetaIlic commissioners.

| A RepuDi1can silver senator's View
of the BimetaIlic commissioners.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun telegraphs his paper an
interview with "a leading silver Republi-
can Senator ON the subject OF Senator
Wolcott's appointment as one of the bi-
metallic commissioners. The silver Sena-
tor is made to say:
Il have absolute Information that Sena-
tor wolcott was thoroughly discredited in
Europe; that he received no encouragement,
and that it is known positively there is 10
probability that aninternational conference
viii be held ;or, IL held, that it will come to
an agreement. That is why Senator VOL
colt will not talk about his trip. Look at
the absurdity OF the proposition which he
made TO European financicrs.
There was not during the last carn-
paign single advocate of free silver VINO
did not assert that the success of the Re
pub.icans would mean the complete estat-
lishment of the gold standardin this coun-
try. There was not Republican speaker
from one end of the country To the other
who did not declare with equal emphasis,
that their success would mean the maln-
tenance of the gold standard. There was
not a newspaper which took either side Of
the question that did not make similar
assertions. There waSnot Europe
that commented upon the political situation
in this country that did not realize that
the money question was the sole ISSUE
of the campaign, and that the Republicans
were fighting, as they announced, fer the
maintenance of the gold standard, and no
af har rut auv fipil r.s N the fight
"Then, before the Republicans had had
an opportunity TO secure the first fruits
of their victory, Senator Wolcott starts
for Europe in the interestof a cause which
the whole world and the Senator himself
knew had been discredited in this country
by an overwhelming vote of the American
people Could anyone expect European fl
nanCiers to express d sentiment in favor
of silver to man representing nation
that had just repudiated silver? 1t is
really too absurd proposition TO regard
seriously. But, despite this, President Nc
kinley has added to the humor OF the situ-
alton, and doubtless To the gaiety OF ma
tions, by gravely appointing commission
to continue the farce that Senator VOL
colt started.
There is, however, some purpose in Fhe
Preside Mt S action. He will use the appoint
ment of the commission to offsetany ddytIse
criticism within his ownparty regardingthe
financial policy OF the Government Daring
the next eighteen months, whenever any
thing is said about bmetallism i n this ''oun-
try, the President can point to his three, I'm
missioners, appointed for the purpose of
changing the present financial policy 9f the
world They will sta nd like HnratiuS ard
his two compa Mons al the bridge, ready TO
meet all corners md uphOldng the cause #
bmetallism against the world.
This is, of course, the view Of an extreme
silver ma D, n,butitexpresses the sentimentof
all the silver men, and probably Of good
many sound-money men as well.
