PERHAPS those who are wondering
why the price OF silver had deprecated
30 much might have their curiosity sat-
isaed If they watched the markets and
observed the rise consequent upon the
few words issued by the president of
the Bank of England suggesting re-
mote possibility Of using the maximum
amount Of silver allowed by the law as
reserve. Dim and remote as was the
prospect it affected silver very appre-

WE do not yet notice any of the re-
publican papers pointing out the par
ticulsr defects Of the principal laws
enacted by the legislature last winter
Their silence is suggestive and signi'
fcant. They can not make a cam
paign on facts that are plain and pal
pable. The only thing they can use
for campaign material is vague and
unprOven charges Of Doodle and cOrruU-

facts but which are claimed to be less
serious than In former republican leg
islatures, and when it comes to making
charges, we can do it with as much
plausibility and truth as they.

Some OF the principal cities Of Scotland

The result Of this public ownership of

ownership as the best means to secure

OF course, the effect Of competition
between private enterprises are not to
be lost sight of as far as they increase
quality and lower price. But the usual
methods of selling franchises outright

which he scores England for blocking
the way for larger use of silver, and
referring to Bryan says: "Ifthree years
hence his efforts are crowned with sue

nothing is done meanwhile to solve the
great question, he will perhaps find the
gold worshipers of Europe, headed BY

BRYAN AND REED COMPARED

Last fall the writer scrutinized the
face Of Tom Reed and formed a few
mental impressions. A few days ago
he took the same liberty with W. J.
Bryan. Both are men of powerful
physique, yet there is much distinction
between them. Reed has a forehead
thar projects at the brow and extends
in a straight line to the scalp
lock, thence bis head shoots at right
angles down the back Of his neck. Il
is broad at the base and low in front.
The lines of the face and the sharpness
of the nose indicate acumen, positive
ness and force. The dominating intel
lectual characteristic is force. The
dominating physical characteristic is
force. The dominating moral idea is
force. Force first, force always. He
knows no rule of morals physics or in.
telligence but force. His face nor
character can neither be said to be
harmonious or we'll balanced.
Mr.. Bryan has much the same poten.
tial power, but it is held in reserve
and tempered BY geniality, good ma.
ture, kindliness and refinement. 1t /.

BOND ELECTION.

This is the last issue before the spe.
cial election which is to determine
whether the city is to build new de-
pot, a new bridge and a new round
house for the Hutchinson & Southern
Improvement company, which is, in
fact, the Hutchinson g. Southern rail-
road company.
The elections in the townships of
Valley and Clay amount to little, ex-
cept as they may influence the vote on
the proposition in this city,
1t is thought by those who are man
ipulating the enterprise in this city
that if they can convince the people
that they will bring the Frisco road
here it will be an evidence Of their
good faith in the works they propose
to erect and the business they claim
they will bring.
We have been told, and it came from
authority we believe, that the Frisco
has been written to in regard to the
matter of these two township elections,
and they seemed in ignorance of the
whole affair. This is very good proof
Of the dummy character Of those cleo
tiOns.
1t is estimated by those who are
experienced in such matters that the
depot would not cost to exceed SIC, 900,
the bridge not more than $4,000 or
$4,000 and the balance Of $4,000
would be left for the round house and
machine shops. In the agreement as
published, there is no specification as
to whether these buildings are to be
frame or stone. The agreement reads:
That said, The Hutchinson &
Southwestern Improvement Company,
shall construct or cause to be CON
structed, twelve (12) stall round
house, turntable, water tank, Machine
and repair shops suitable to repair 10.
connective engines and passenger and
freight cars.
Under these stipulations the com
pany can, if it so elects, erect any kind
of an old shack that will hold twelve
engines and claim 1t is suitable" for
the work agreed. Then the city must
issue the bonds.
II the company should proceed thus
1t could have snug sum left out of
the thirty FIVE thousand dollars to put
In their own exehequer after their part
Of the contract is fulfilled. Besides
they would not have expended cent
and would own facilities for which
they now expend 300 per month which
amount would be saved. Besides this
the amount expended for the bridge
would be out side the city limits where
1t could not pay taxes to the city.
But the most probable mode of action
is more sinister still. Word has come
to us which is from one who speaks as
having authority, and from the inside,
that the construction of new depot is
not intended: that the Hutchinson &
Southern, will combine with the Santa
Fe, and the new Santa Fe depot will do
service under the contract, so that in
effect the Santa Fe depoS will be built
by the city. 1t is cleverly sehemed and
may fool the people, bus if the bonds
carry the issue of them will be promptly
enjOined, and "there will be a hot time
in the old town" before they are sold.

THE WORLD DO MOVE.

Every day brings some evidence
that the world do move, and that pop.

One of the latest indications of this sort
is ex-President Harrison's declaration
for municipal ownership of public util-
tiles. In an interview In the New
York World he says:
OF special im pOrtance are the safe
guards to be thrown about the granting
