Prices

Chicago, Jan. 22.-"Unless a compro-
mise is effected between the Havemeyer
next four or five days. said W. F.
Mclaughlin, "the fight between them
will be long and bitter, and will prove
expensive to both. I am beginning to
nope, however, that some of my argu-
ments with each of them are beginning
to have some effect. and that the whole
matter will be settled
Mr.. Mclaughlin bases his hopes of
compromise on the fact that a continu-

PENDANT.

made at the cut prices in Chicago are
enormous, and the principal dealers are
away behind in their orders.

SANTA FE'S CONNECTIONS.
San Francisco &.San Joaquin Valley
to Build.

San Francisco, Jan. 22.-vice Presi-
dent Watts of the San Francisco & San
Joaquin Valley railroad is authority for
the statement that that line will first
touch tidewater on the San Francisco
side of the bay, and not build down to
the Contra Costa or Alameda county
shores at all, and that there is no doubt
that the transcontinental line with
which the Valley road will effect a con-
nection is the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe. The western terminus of this
great railroad system is Albuquerque,
N. M, and from Albuquerque the At
1antic & Pacific extends to Mojave,
Cal.
The Atlantic & Pacific is the connect
ing line between the Valley road and
the Santa Fe. 1t is in the hands of
receiver and is to be sold some time
this month. From Nojava to Bakes-
field is a stretch of about 6S miles.
All that remains to be done to con-
meet the San Francisco & San Joaquin
Valley reilroad with the Santa Fe is for
it or the Santa F'e to build an extension
between Bakersfield and Mojave.

n. G. Wilmoth With Many Alias and
and q Bad Record Pardoned.


Governor Leedy today issued a par
don for H. c. Wilmoth, alias Howell,
alias Hobart, alias Howe, and various
other names. The pardon was issued
restoring Wilmoth to citizenship be-
cause of the expiration of his term of
sentence. Wiimoth was a gay de-
ceiVer of women and an all-around
swindler and shark. His recent term
in the penitentiary was the result of
conviction on the charge of bigamy. He
pleaded guilty in the district court of
Kansas City, Kan, March 81, 1895, and
was sentenced by Judge Allen to one
years imprisonment. The reduction of
time for good behavior secures his free
dom at this time

cago, Denver, Terre Haute, Ind; st.
Joseph, Mo-; Fresno, Cal; GAINESVILLE,

former victims. He had also married

Wilkins of Seneca Kan, in Kansas

Chauncey NJ. Depew Talks of Tagging
Prosperity.

New York, Jan 22-The fourth an
nual banquet of the Republican editor
ial aSSocia ton of the state of New York
was held at the Union League club OF
Brooklyn last night. Covers were laid
for $50 and Chauncey NJ. Depew was
the chief speaker of the evening. Mr..
Depew said in part:
Gentlemen, as Republican editors We
ought to be particularly happy to night
We have won a great victory. We have
done more; we have averted frightful
disaster. 1t is not in the power of the
imagination to picture what might have
happened in the tension of the financial
and industrial world if confidence had
received the shock of the determination
of the United States to embark upon
the unknown sea of a deprecated and
debased currency.
1.-The victory has been won, the ire
mendouS change which would have Oc-
CURED had it gone the other way has
been averted but the 1abOrer and the
artisan waits, and the money in the
vaults lies idle and the mill and the fac
tory and the furnace stop and start
and stop and start again, like impatient
thorOughbredS at the commencement of
the race. The country cries where is
your prosperity. Where are the good
times to begin?' The bankrupt firm and
insolVent railroad, the people, over
whelmed by a great calamity, DO not
rise instantly to their former conditions
or better ones. Confidence is not the
growth of a night; it is the creation of
hundreds of tributary elements which
ultimately does succeed in enabling it
to accomplish its beneffcient work.
But already we can feel the good
times. We have three hundred and
twenty-five millions to our credit as
against the right of the world. 1t only
needs confidence in the stability of legiS-
lation and administration for the next
four years for the golden current to
flow into new enterprises, giving new
employment and stimulation to every
industry of farm. of mine and factory"
Among the other speakers were Elihu
Root, who spoke on the political situa-
ton; W. J. Arkell of Judge, and Henry
Watterson.

Some Free silver outoasts.

Some individuals, who bOlted the Re
publican party last year and voted fol
Bryan, held a meeting in this city ana
organized what they call "The Silver Re
publican Party of the United States.
For some reason they do not care to Join
the Populists or the free silver Demo
crafts They seem to think they will have
a better chance Of picking up Offices II
they have distinct organization
These boilers cannot be prevented from
forming a new party, but in dong so tney
ought 70 state clearly to the public what
its principles are and what reason there
is for its existence. That has not been
done. Congressman Towne declares
that
"This is a movement that has taken
deep root and will grow until the restora-
ton of silver to an equality with gold mas
been accomplished"
What is this equality that Towne ana
his associates are going to devote the
rest of their lives to securingT Does he
intend TO say that the time will come
again when sixteen ounces Of silver VIII
exchange everywhere for one Of goldE
Towne should look the facts in the
face The price of silver, which was l3O
cents an ounce in 1870, is 60 cents now.
In spite of the low price the silver miners
of the United States put 56,OOO,OOO
ounces on the market last year and made
money at the business.
The demand for silver by silver stand
ard countries is decreasing because the
number of those countries is diminishing
Japan, the most progressive of Asiatic
nations, with a population of 100000,
has adopted the worlds gold standard.
Peru and Bolivia, though silver-producing
are preparing to do so.
Does Towne really believe that his lit
tie movement" will be able to raise the
purchasing power of 81 grains of silver
until it becomes equal once more to the
power of twenty-three grains
Of gold? 1t is difficult to believe that any
intelligent man who knows what the
present silver production of the world is,
md how much more cheaply it is pro-
luced than of old, really imagines any
hing of the kind.-Chicago Tribune.

Can't BE Fooled Every Time.

Some people can be fooled once or
twice but very few more than that. Mr..
Bryan in his speeches last fall asserted
that the forty-two million dollars neces-
sary TO keep pace with the growth of pop
ulation in the United States could not be
produced since the suspension of free
coinage of silver, and quoted Senator
Sherman in support Of his theory that this
amount was necessary to be added TO the
currency of the country each year. He
was undoubtedly right in his quotation of
Senator Sherman, but both inaccurate and
misleading in assuming that this amount
of currency cannot be and is not added
TO the circulating medium of the country
10y means of its present facilities. The
coinage of the minis of the country in the
year which ends with the present month
will be, in round numbers. one hundred
million dollars. three fourths of il gold,
while that Of the calendar year 1896 was
ninety-nine million dollars. Add to this
The fact that the money In circulation
to-day is S13S, 600 600 more than it was
year ago and il will be seen that Mr..
Bryans statements in this, as we'll as
in many other things, were, TO say the
least, misleading.

Political Pith.

President Cleveland pulled down the
American flag in Hawaii; PresideM Nc
Kinley pulled it up again.
One-third of the Southern vote in the
present Congress has been cast for pro-
lection.
Every days consideration of the Senate
schedules of the tariff bill brings them
more in harmony with those of the House
bill, and ii is probable that the bill, when
II goes into conference, will differ but lit
tie from that which passed the House.
The shades of the late Samuel ]. Ran
dali are now being invoked by the Democ-
racy of that section which fought him
most bitterly during the closing period of
his useful career.
With one member of the Democratic
team pulling in the direction of free trade,
another towards protection, still third
in favor of free silver and fourth head
ed resolutely toward the gold standard,
the Jeffersonian-Jack band wagon
Is not making much progress.
The recent "silver Republican" confer
ence is said to have had as its real object
plan to unload Mr.. Bryan as the leader
of the silver cause. Mr.. Bryan has too
many 'isms" and is to erratic TO suit the
men who are putting up the money in be-
half of the silver cause.
No subject is being more carefully con-
sidered by President Mckinley now than
the Cuban question. 1t has been the
cause of much anxious thought by him
from the beginning and there is good rea-
son to believe that his plans are well de-
veloped and will be recognized as wide
and satisfactory when they become
known
The trade reviews and the daily papers
of the country unite in the assertion that
business is Frightening in all parts of the
United States. More men are employed,
the volume of new orders is increasing,
and the amount of work done is steadily
gaining. With the final action on the tar
in bill. which may be expected during the
present month, an increased improvement
is confidently expected.
People who are surprised that the Re
publicans in the Senate are not answering
in detail the attacks made by the Demo
Gratis upon the pending tariff bill need not
suppose that Il Is because of lack of argu-
ment or facts upon which TO base them.
Their silence is simply because of their
unwillingness to consume a moment of
time more than is absolutely necessary
in getting the bill before the Senate.
