pEBss, COLONY.

The dispatches tell us that Eugene
v. Debbs, of Chicago riot fame, is 60
ing to start utopian colony in our sis
ter state, Washington. When he gets his
colony all in shipshape, he proposes to
march it into the devoted common
wealth, Immediately take charge of the
political machinery, call an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature, go to levying
taxes upon the plutocrats, reduce
hours of labor from 10 to 4, establish
the brotherhood of man and start a
new party with which to sweep the
country in 1Gol. If the Honorable
DebbS can perform these miracles
by peaceful methods, he will try to
endure the tedium of it, but if the
white winged goddess falters in the
work, then Debbs will take up the
cudgel and lam the immortal essence
out of bloated plutocraUs and grind
ing corporations. There is a vim a.
bout Debbs' method Of starting colo
MES that ought to challenge the ad-
miration and win the solid support Of
Colorado Waite and Mayor Pennoyer
These congenial spirits ought to flock
together and establish a universe
somewhere in opposition TO the plan
of the original Creator. This little
globular lump of mud is altogether
too cramped for the operation of such
forces. Debbs expresses fear that
his great combination co operative,
universal brotherhood, abor.annihila-
ting, Notwithstanding scheme may
bunt up against the Supreme Court
of the United Statest but of course,
that body must clear the track. If
it gets to struggling around on the
path of progress, Debbs can not hold
himself responsible for results. At
one time Debbs talked of establishing
his CO operative hipprodrome in Utah,
but the people of that State gave
Debbs the marble heart. They had
monkeved with the Order of Enoch
and other holy inventions designed to
shield the faithful from the sins of
wealth. There were philanthropists in
Utah who could give Debbs cards and
spades in playing cooperation
schemes and beat him hands down.
Therefore, the State of Washington
is to be gloriied and translated.
There will be fun out there when the
Debbs machine starts up.

when Americans put a million dollars
OF United States money into a Next
can enterprise they count on getting
back the equivalent of that million
dollars, whether in /, 100000 gold dol
lars or 2.o00eoo Mexican silver dollars
matters nothing, so long as in some
substance they receive the value of one
million United States dollars. Now
suppose that Mexico had a legal ten
der law such as the Chicago platform
demands, might it not operate to
check the avidity of American CAPT,
talists for Mexican investment? Does
our friend, the Advocate, think that
any American capitalist would put
United States dollars into Mexican
enterprise if he believed that he
would be obliged to receive repayment,
interest and principal, in silver dollars
coined at the ratio of 16 to /? The
long and short of the argument is
that Mexico is on a silver basis. In
that country there are two prices for
eVerything-a gold price and a sill
yer price. Reckoned in dollars, it takes
just about twice as many silver dol
lars to purchase given article as it
does of gold dollars. A five dollar
gold piece will buy 10 Mexican silver
dollars and it takes two silver dollars
to buy one gold dollar The govern
ment does not attempt to maintain
any parity. We repeat, that the most
rabid gold bug would offer no serious
objection to free coinage of silver If

our friend understand that we are
not now arguing the merits or de-
merits of any kind of monetary sys
tenn. We simply aim, in our weak
way, to point out that under existing
conditions the monetary system of
Mexico is neither incentive Nor deter
rent to the investment of American
capital. 1t cuts no figure.

THE UReANe ADVOCATE,

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Silver Advocate, published in the
beautiful inland village of Vale, in
the State where flows tho Oregon,
ventures the opinion that The Tribune
has erred We cheerfully forgive the
Advocate it's intrepedity and sincerely
thank it for the pleasant and cour-
teous manner in which it has at
tempted to expose our error. Usually
our silver friends come at The Trib.
une with harpoons and pitch forks
and pile drivers when they make up
their minds to assault its mistakes.
1t is therefore unique and to degree
delightful to be attacked in Christian
spirit by a suave and brilliant an
tagonist. The Advocate thinks that
we have forgotten the decision of the
Supreme Court upholding the right of
private contract. Something we said
may have given such an impression,
but if so it was fault of expression.
Our memory is unimpaired touching
that noteworthy incident. If equally
retentive of other subjects, the free
silver plank of the Chicago platform
contains clause designed to utterly
neutralize the effect of the courts do,
cision by declaring against any kind
of legislation that will operate in flu
ture to demonetize any legal tender
money by private contract. Possibly
we had Chat solemn declaration il
mind. The Advocate further says;
"Mr, Davis is wrong again when he
says that business is done in Mexico
on gold basis. If what we said con
veyed to the Advocate the idea it
evidently seeks to disseminate, then our
language was again at fault. We said
that american capitalists do business
in Mexico on gold basis. Perhaps
the Advocate assumed that we meant
gold standard. Our idea was that

with the lamentable condition of a
lack of harmony in the faculty.
Charges were made against the presi-
dent and suudry members of the facul-
ty such as pernicious political activity,
incompetency, and charges equally Sc
rious and dishonorable. We have
patiently and honestly investigated the
charges called to our attention and
found these charges had no foundation
in fact or were too trivial for notice"
If that be a true statement, why were
professors Fox and Goodwin dis
charged? Was it upon false and tri-
vial charges-"too trivial for notice? p
Again says the address: "For the past
four years the charge has has been tree
