1t seems Senator Wolcott, OF Colorado,
has arrived in London and the Times
there welcomes him to England. 1t
praised the Senator's capacity and in.
tegrity and ad its that President-elect
Mckinley could not have chosen more
acceptable envoy. On the Venezuela
question Senator Wolcott was champ
ion of England, all of which no doubt
the Times understands. The Times, how
ever, does not indicate that anything
can be done for silver No one with
any sense supposes that England will
yield her lold standard position and
policy. 1t is a foolish and expensive
folly to attempt it. Four efforts have
been made by holding international
monetary conferences, all without
accomplishing anything, Great Britain
being the only obstacle in the way. The
last conference was held at Brussels in
the fall of 1892, in which twenty nations
we're represented, but yet it availed moth
ing. What would be the use in going
through the farce again2

A MONEY CONFERENCE.
Republicans Have Yet Taken
No Final Action.

They Decide to Ask the Advice Of the

national Conference.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The Repub-
any final action upon the question of
international bimetallism, which the
caucus was called to consider but ad-
journed until Friday. This failure was
not due to any opposition to the propo-
sition to provide means for a confer
euce, but to the fact that the language
of the bill prepared by the Wolcott
committee was Objectionable to some
The bill as drafted provides for the con-
sideration of the "free mintage" of
silver.
Some of the western members of the
caucus objected to this wording, saying
that it should be so amended as to pro-
vide for free and unlimited coinage.
Senator Allison impressed the caucus in
q brief speech with the necessity of o
complete outline of what was wanted.
1t was suggested that it would be bet
ter to adjourn and take time to make
the bill complete and acceptable to all
than to attempt to make amendments
while in session.
This suggestion was adopted with
the understanding that the Democrats
and Populists also should be consulted
with regard to the proposed change.
Very little was said during the confer
ence as to the probability of securing a
conference or of its success, if secured.
Some of the senators expressed the
opinion that France, Holland and Bel.
gium would be friendly to the move
ment. The caucus was slimly attended.
The Republicans who bolted the st.
Louis convention were not invited.

The Repository, in an editorial anent
the Bryan Free Silver Club banquet said:
"The great mass of people voted in
November and are now patiently await
ing the time when the principles for
which they voted can be put into effect"
Why, aren't they in effect? Isn't this
country being operated on gold basisH
Haven't we the gold standard in fact?
Didn't those who voted for Mr.. McKin-
ley vote for the same things that Mr..
Cleveland stands for2 Weren't McKin-
ley and Cleveland upholding the same
platform and prating of national
honor?" 1t can't be the tariff that
needs changing for the most ardent
tariff man ought to be pleased that the
exports are greater and the imports less
under tie Wilson law than they were
under the Mckinley law. Mr.. Mckinley
said in his speeches, and reiterated it
every time delegation arrived, that
the money of this county was good
enough, and the Republican party stood
for the same kind of financial system we

at isn't more money we want" said he,
"but more work" Well pass the work
then. If there's money enough and its
good enough, why don't the people get
some of it2 Mr. Mckinley said so often
that they just kept it standing at the
Repository office: "All this country
wants is confidence" and added that
that confidence would be bestowed when
the Republican ticket was successful. 1t
is three months fter the election and
times are worse. We have the gold basis
we have tariff law that sends out more
exports than the Mckinley law, and
we have the confidence. Now will the
Repository please pass the price of

Eastern money magnates having
claims in Kansas, are disposed to perse-
cute that region because of the State
voting for Brya an. There is no end to
the abuse heaped upon Kansas for voting
as she did These Eastern Shylocks
seem to have no sympathy for suffer
ing people but seem quite willing to
drive them into bankruptcy.
Kansas is now struggling under the
burden of debts contracted years ago
when wheat and corn commanded prices
two or three times greater than nov.
Notwithstanding the depreciation in all
values, except bonded debts, Kansas is
wonderous in the way of paying debts.
The bonded indebtedness of the State is
only s6S2,O00, having been decreased
$4,000 in two years. In the past two
years twenty-three counties have in
creased their debts while eighty-one
have cut theirs down. One comfy, Lane,
has been declared insolvent, not being
able to pay the interest on its bonds,
but the chairman of the board of COM
missioners declares they were compelled
to take this course. He says "our home
people are not repudiators but they can
not bear the whole burden of the
county's debts" He then states that
one mortgage company owns ninety
quarter sections of land in the county
and has not paid a cent o. taxes for
three years. Other companies and indi-
viduals are the same and the county has
taken the land for taxes until il can do
so no longer. He thus concludes:
''If the bondholders want to complain,
let them do so to the Eastern land own
ers who have their land here and collect
rents upon it but fail to pay their taxes
to the county"
1t seems these Eastern people having
large possessions in Lane county, Kansas,
are the real repudiators. If they were
to pay the taxes assessed on their pro.
perty, the county would not be insol
vent, Kansas people seem to have had
enough of this kind of gold hoggery.
OF course 1t was all lovely so long as
those Eastern people were getting their
interest at usurious rate, and it continues
lovely so long as they get rents from the
lands they have got possession of and
pay no taxes. These people ought to
consider the changed financial condi,
tons that have brought about these
disasters. They ought to remember
that they have been instrumental in
bringing about this very result that they
now suffer from and cause others tc
suffer from. They do not seem to profit
from their own folly and experience
but are ready to throw the blame on
others who are innocent. 1t is to be
hoped they will be wiser if they live
long enough. Creditors should not aim
to drive their debtors into bankruptcy
and ruin. 1t is surely to the benefit o.
creditors that their debtors should pros
per and so be able to pay his Interest
and claim.

1t seems opportune rains fell in India
in November and December and checked
the widespread drouth. Conditions are
vet bad enough in India and some three
quarters of a million are still receiving
relief. In the district of Jabalpur, India,
which had a population of 100000,
90 900 persons have died OF starvation
since the present widespread famine has
set in. Thousands of others will perish,
despite efforts that may be made to
succor them, while many now living are
so weak they cannot asslmilate food.
The government of India is accused of
preventing information from reaching
the public or allowing truthful state
ments in regard to the starvation from
appearing in India newspapers. The
official aim seems to be to minimize the
calamity, but the truth is now gradually
leaking out that thousands have died
and are dying from starvation. 1t is
proper to say, however, that now active
efforts seem to be in progress TO meet
the calamity.

If Canton is patient she may find that
her postal facilities will come so near be.
ing adequate after Mckinley moves away
that she will not need to press her claim
for more room in the public bull. ing
Pittsburg Times.
The Times, unintentionally perhaps,
does Canton great wrong in this con-
nection. The present building was out
grown before it was under roof, and that
was years ago, when Mr.. Mckinley
wasn't even in town. The plans were
drawn many years prior to that time,
but the Times should remember that
great congressional bodies move slowly.
By the time the appropriation was made
the city had outgrown the proposed
structure. An addition to the building
is an absolute necessity. There is space
in the present building for neither the
working force nor the public. The
Times ought to do the right thing now
and help US to get favorable action on
that proposed appropriation.

BANK FAILURES in rHE STATES,

The bank failures in the States con.
tinue. They are increasing in number
and are in various widely separated sec
tions of the country.
1t is tot an answer to say that q e
process of liquidation has only reached
these institutions, for during the long
Presidential campaign there were very
few bank failures. 1t is entirely fair to
argue that If banking institution could
sustain itself during period of great
financial discomfort, it surely should be
strong enough to continue doing so after
the victory of the party which made
business confidence" and prosperity"
its battle cry. 1t is also reasonable to
say that securities should sell more
readily, that is if tie Republican assur-
ances amounted to anything.
The fact is that some of the apparent
ly strongest fnantial institutions in the
States discovered how difficult thing
it is to get possession Of the gold dollar

JOHNSON ADMITTED HIS PAST.

Hot Sequel In the House to His Attack
Editor Hearst.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The house
has witnessed q sensational sequel to
the remarkable attack made by Mr..
johnson (Cal,) on Editor Hearst. Mr..
johnson and Mr.. Mcguire Dem, CAL
were antagonists. Their wordy duel
grew out of the publication in The
Record, as a part of Mr.. Maguire's re-
marks of comments on the formers
speech last week in which Mr.. Mcguire
defended Mr.. Hearst, and without the
mention of Mr.. Johnson's name de-
tailed some matters in the early life of
the latter when he resided in Syracuse,
N. Y. Mr.. Johnson got the floor on
question of privilege. He was at times
dramatic. He denounced Mr.. Maguire's
attack on him as wanton and cowardly
and told the story of his indictment "a
years ago in New York for forgery and
how he had gone out to California to
rear q new home and make a new
name. He described his success and
how he had been able to pay back every
dollar he owed. He then explained
that all this was an old story in Cali
fornia where he had always avowed it
when he ran Tor once. linen with
bitter invective he paid his respects to
Mr.. Mcguire and Mr.. Cooper (Wis.),
who last week characterized his attack
on Mr.. Hearst as cowardly.
Mr.. Mcguire replied TO Mr.. johnson
in sarcastic vein. He told how he
had attempted to secure time in which
to reply to Mr.. johnson during the de-
bate and had been unable to do so, and
how he had printed his defense of
man unable to secure hearing for him
sell. He sneered at Mr.. johnson for
whining because his attack went home
to him, and said he should have thought
of the grief and anguish he was bring
ing to another before he assailed Mr..
Hearst. Mr.. Poole of New York who
represents the Syracuse district, made
brief statement in vindication of Mr..
johnson. His motion to expunge Mr..
Maguire's remarks from The Record
was adopted, after Mr.. Mcmillan had

The Senate Debates as to Which Was
Democratic.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l3-Some lively
political sparring marked the later
hours Of the senate session. The free
homestead bill was under discussion
and Mr.. Allen found opportunity for
questioning Mr.. Villas wis concerning
the party differences of last fall. 1t
brought out much difference of opinion
as to whether the Democratic platform
was made at Chicago, or at indianapolis.
Mr.. Villas declared that there was
almost nothing in the Chicago platform
not inimical to the interests of the gov.
ernment. He insisted that the Indian.
apolis platform was founded throughout
in Democracy. Mr.. Allen characterized
the Indianapolis platform as "rump
affair" The controversy became very
lively and took wide range.
The homestead bill was further de-.
bated, but a vote was not reached. Mr.
Villas attacked it as a measure giving
away $50, 900, 900 of government money.
Mr.. Nelson (Rep., Mimi, Mr.. Allen
and Mr.. PETER Pop, Kan spoke for
the bill. Mr.. Hill (Dem., N. ", who
