The following very interesting account
of the efforts of our government in be-
half of international bimetallism is by
telegraph from London, dated Oct. %.
1t will be seen that the French gov
eminent was ready to Join ours in the
free coinage of silver at lob to l, pro-
vided Great Britain would lend a certain
amount of assistance. This at first she
seemed disposed to do, the agricultural
and manufacturing interests of the ma
ton being especially anxious that it
should be done; but later, owing to the
intense opposition of the creditor and
banking interests of London, the govern
ment has declined to act. 1t remains to
be seen whether this one square mile of
banking interest in London will also con-
troll Mr.. McKinley's administration or
the people of the United States. We do
not believe it will control either, but that
IN this matter, as in others, the English
government will soon learn that the
Cleveland administration has been sue
American:
The correspondence in regard to the
bimetallic proposals of the United States
monetary commission was issued by the
British foreign office last Friday and the
following account of the negotiations
was taken from it,
At the conference held at the foreign
Office on July -, the premier, the Mar
quis of Salisbury; the secretary of state
for India, Lord George Hamilton; the
chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach the first lord of the treas
ury, MIR. A. j. Balfour; the United
States ambassador, Col. John Hay, and
the United States monetary commission
ers, Senator Edward o. Wolcott of
Colorado; eX-vice-president, Adlai E.
Stevenson of Illinois and Gen. Charles
Jackson Paine of Massachusetts were
present.
On the invitation of the British pre-
mier, Senator WOlcOtt explained that the
object of the mission was to ascertain in
advance of an international conference,
If one should be called. the view of the
governments, and the ENJOYS had deter
mined to ascertain the views of the
French, British and German govern
ments on the question of reaching an in
ternational metallic agreement. They
had been to France, where they reached
a complete and satisfactory understand
ing with the French government and the
ENJOYS would have the cooperation in
this matter of the French ambassador in
London.
The senator then explained that the
success of the mission depended upon the
attitude Great Britain would take and he
requested Great Britain to agree to open
the English mints, as its contribution to
the attempt TO restore international hi.
metallism with France and the United
States, cooperating together in an
attempt TO that end.
The Marquis of Salisbury asked il
France was ready to open her mints tC
free coinage and Senator Wolcott replied
Yes
The premier thereupOn inquired al
what ratio France would open her minis
Senator Wolcott said at l54, adding that
the American ENJOYS had accepted this
ratio.

As an illustration of this question of
honesty Mr.. Cleveands administration
made a deal with railroad interests at
New York by which a forced sale
of the Union and Kansas Pacific rail-
roads was ordered, under such condi-
tons that the government was sure to
lose at least $4,000, 900 of its debt. Mr..
McKnley's administration gave notice
that the sale would be postponed, and
the result is that the clique interested to
purchase have agreed to pay in full the
government claim on the Union Pacific,
both principle and interest. 1t is I'M
derstOod that the sale of the Kansas
Pacific will be postponed until Dec. 10,
and it is to be hoped that the government
will secure also its full claim on this
road.
Probably we have never had so rotten
and corrupt an administration in such
matters as that of Mr.. Cleveland's. In
many ways, if not in all ways possible,
it shoveed the nations money into the
pockets of the rich. OF course there
must have been divy.
In referring to the attempted steal
through the Union Pacific sale, the New
York Evening Post says:
We are aware that the Union Pacific
government directors and the officials of
two administrations had advised accept
ing the syndicate's offer as the best OBJ
tainable, but it now appears that it was
not the best obtainable by SS,0OO,000.
This, we say, ought to be explained. Such
transactions unexplained do more to pro-
mote Organism and socialism than all
the books and speeches together.
TO which the New York World replies :
The explanation is perfectly simple.
There was a scheme to rob the govern
ment of IS 100000 on this main line and
of $l3, 600 900 on the Kansas Pacific divi-
sion. The government directors lent
their countenance to 1t and two Admins
trations assented to it.
Then The World turned the search
| light of publicity on the steal and re-
vealed its true character. Instantly the
government was forced to defend the
treasury against the robbers, and the
robbers at once made haste to give up
their IS, 000,000 of loot lest they lose the
enormous profits incident to the purchase
of the road.
But how about the Kansas Pacific steal
of Sl3,000,000? What steps is the Ad-
ministrauon taking to stop that? What
is it doing to compel the syndicate to adj
vance that part of its bid to figure that
will cover the whole of the government
claim? Or is it disposed to allow that
part of the lOoting?
Stop the whole steal

According to IA celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 100000 little
glands In the human stomach. These
glands pour out the digestive juices which
dissolve or digest the food. Indigestion
is want of Juice, weakness of glands,
need of help to restore the health of these
organs. The best and most natural help
is that given by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Natural, because it supplies the mater
ials needed by the glands to prepare the
digestive juices. Because it strengthens
and invigOrates the glands and the
stomach, until they are able to do their
work alone. Shaker Digestive Cornial
cures Indigestion certainly permanently.
1t does so by natural means, and therein
lies the secret of its wonderful and un-
varied success.

CONTEST FOR MAYOR IN GREATER New
YORK

One of the most remarkable political
contests of recent years is now raging in
Greater New ork, and perhaps the most
wonderful feature in it is the personal
canvass being made by Henry George.
In the most fearless manner he is at
lacking both bosses, Croker and Plat,
accusing each equally of using public
offices for private gain and threatening if
elected to probe the matter to the bottom.
He is especially severe against Mr.
Croker, who he proclaims as great thief
as Boss Tweed, land says if he Is
elected Mayor he will land Mr.. Croker
behind the bars, unless he quits the
country and goes where there is no extra
dition treaty. OF Platt, he says: "How
has he been getting money to buy men:
Everybody knows that Plat sells legis-
latlon. When l get started as Mayor |
will have lawyers enough to carry out
the will of the people, and will probe
to the bottom"

The senator then presented the follow
ing list of contributions which, among
others, he suggested Great Britain
might make:
First The opening of the Indian
minis and the repeal of the order making
the sovereign legal tender in India.
Second-Placing one-fifth of the bul
lion in the issue department of the bank
of England in silver.
Third-Raisng the legal tender limit
of silver TO, say E10 and issuing Dos.
notes, based on silver, which shall be
legal tender, and the retirement in grad
uatlon or otherwise, of the los. gold
pieces and the substitution of paper
based on silver.
Fourth-An agreement to coin annual
ly so much silver, the amount to be left
open.
Fifth-The opening of the English
minis to the coinage of rupees and to the
coinage of British dollars which shall be
full tender in the Straits settlements, and
other silver standard colonies and tender
in the United Kingdom to the limit of
silver legal tender.
Sixth-Colonial action and the coinage
of silver in Egypt.
Notwithstanding having the gen
eral scope of the Huskisson plan.
The meeting then closed and it was
understood by the parties that the alb
sence of the French ambassador, Baron
De Courcel from the proceedings should
be regarded as informal, and a second
conference was held on the 10Th at
which, in addition to those already
mentioned, the French ambassador, and
VI. Goefl'ray, the councillor of the
French embassy, were present.
The French ambassador was then in
vited to declare the position of the
French government and he said France
was ready to reopen her minis to the
coinage of silver if the commercial ma
tions adopted the same course, and he
advocated at great length the ratio of
l55. But, he explained, France would
not consider the reopening of the mints
of India alone as being sufficient guaran-
tee to permit the French government to
reopen the French minis to the free
coinage of silver.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach then an
nounced definitely that Great Britain
would not agree to open the English
minis to the unlimited coinage of silver.
and that whatever views he and his
colleagues might separately hold re-
garding bimetallism, he could say that
they were united on this point.
Baron De Courcel said, as personal
suggestion, that among other contribu-
tons, he thought Great Britain should
open the minis and also agree to pur-
chase annually lO,000,000 pounds sterling
of silver for a series of years.
Senator Wolcott accepted the proposal
that the British government should make
this purchase with proper safeguards
and provisions as to the place and man
ner of its use.
Since this conference the British gov
eminent has been considering the pro
posals and finally made the reply handed
to the United States ambassador yes
terday.

And the Band Played No. 4.
More Anon.

The Neihart brass band has received q
new band journal which is a regular Lit
Giant hay-baler for e~cstatic strains of in
tensest melody. Some of the melody in
this book is so intense as to throw the
auditor into violent commissions. and the
band is obliged to proceed carefully in
order not to straighten all the crooks in
their brazen instruments, in which case
some of the horns would be IS feet long
and unwieldy to carry.
The band halted in front of the Frisco
hotel, and played No. 4 in the new book.
1t started elegantly, but when the bari
tone solo was reached the baritone man
had escaped by the alley, and cached
himself in the hen house. This demon
allied the rest of the players who scat
tered in various directions. The tuba
players climbed the veranda posts, feet
foremost, Frank Harrison crawlcd into
the h~elicon, the bass drummer col
lapsed, and when the final strain was
reached, there was nobody in sight but
the snare drummer and push cornct man,
who were shivering like dogs swallow
ing bones. 1t was a herculean effort,
and passcrsby paused and wcpt at the
dolcful sounds they heard.

On Mackey Creek.

Joe Hegener was in town this week
from the Mackey creek bonanza. He
showed the force some samples of ore
which he has lately struck in the Cop
per Queen. The Copper Queen lies to
the southwest of the Phillippi and is
developed by a cross-cut tunnel 40 feet
long. In this tunnel the ore was struck.
The vein is 3 inches wide and assays 161
OF. in silver and $4.7O in gold per ton.
Joe says that Ed. Peterson leasing
on the Gold Rock has lately encounter
ed very rich ore in his tunnel, after hav-
ing drifted through a semi barren por-
ton of the vein.
