DEMOCRACY AS 4 SILVER PARTY
Some Democratic Eyidcncc OF Republican,
Friendship for Silver,

Some Democratic Eyidcncc Of Republican,
Friendship for Silver
In Now York state the democrats
voted down an endorsement Of the
Chicago platform, and their speakers
are charging THAT the republicans are
responsible for the present increased
coinage of silver dollars. Speaking
at Carnegie hall, Wednesday night.
Ex-senator David B. Hill, one of the
foremost leaders Of democracy, said
on the financial question:
The silver cuinage question has
been partially settled-at least for
the time being-through the action
OF the last republican congress, with
the approval Of President Mckinley
himself. 1T seems tn have escaped
the mind of the average republican
orator that in June last a bill was
passed bv a republican C. ngress and
approved by a republican president
which among other things provided
as follows:
ection ;,4-That the secretary OF
the treasury is hereby authorized to
coin into standard silver q liars, as
rapidly as @he public interests may
require, an am unit. however, of not
less than one aud nne-ilalf million
OF dollars each month, all Of the silver
bullion now in the treasury. par
chased in accordance With the pro-
visions Of the act approved July IA,
1890, entitled, etc.
The amount Of the silver bullion
in question in the treasury thus re-
quired to be coined is sufficient to
occupy our mints in coinage for the
next two years, and there seems to
be no necessity, from practical
standpoint, Of getting excited over
propositions for additional coinage at
some future date which may never
materlallze. Sufficient unto the day
is the good or the evil thereof.

McCullOch'S Excuse,

Myers and McCulloch spoke at this
place Wednesday night, but as their
talk was but rahash of the cry that
has been heard all over the state, in
spite Of direct printed proof to the
contrary, that the democratic party
was the only friend Of silver, it made
no impression. One thing in McCul-
loclls talk, however, merits mention,
and that is his reason or explanation
Of lis reason for being opposed to Il
fusion or cooperation Of the so-caIled
silver foices at the recent county
conventions. Lee said, first, that
Lane of the reasons was that when the
democratic central committc met and
issued its call for Il democratic CON
vention, it invited all friends ofsilvcr
to take part in the democratic pri
maries and become Democrats; many
had done 50 in Hamilton and some in
other places, and it would have been
unjust to these people had the dem
ocraJic convention fused with the
silver republicans and populists and
given those parties places on the
tickct-just how it would have been
unjust. for none Of these claimed adj
diLiuns to tie democratic party are
recognized on the democratic ticket,
Leo failed to explain. Secondly,
McCuIlocll said that if there had been
a fusion there was Il strong probabil-
ity that some OF the Candidates al
lowed to aud named by the silver re-
: CT htt Fti
sion ticket would have been inferior
men, aud being on three tickets their
election would nave been assured,
defeating some better men (presnm-
ably the republican candidates. on
the other ticket. All Of which was a
direct charge that The democrats on
the fusion ticket would have been
better men than The silver repubIi-
cans and pOpulists could have put up.
Thirdly, McCulocll said that many
democrats had announced themselves
as candidates and had gone through
the county at the expenditure OF
much time and money soliciting
their friends for delegates in their
favor, and it would have been un Just
to these democrats who wanted office
so badly to ask them to step aside
for silver republicans and populistS
and allow the latter to have offices
that democrats wanted. The last is
perhaps the real reason why NIcCyl,
loch and his crowd did not want ru-
sion-tbey wanted all the offices for
democrats and were willing to let
silver or any other pretended prn-
ciple of democracy 60 to the wall if
BY 50 doing they could get the Of
fees.

Mr.. Campbell says the Ding7cy law
is satisfactory to democrats. What
a change has come over the spirit OF
the dreams of the democratic party.
We haven't the vote on the Dingley
bill handy, but will state anyhow that
nine-tenths of the democrats in con-
gress votedayainst it. Another thing,
when the democratic Wilson bill
which almost bankruptcd 'tliis country
was passed, all democrats in congress
voted for it and SO pleased were the
democrats in the house when it be-
came a law that they took Professor
Wilson on their shoulders and carried
him around the room yelling like
Sioux in battle charge. If the
Dingley law is satisfactory it is proof
that democrats erred when they
enacted the Wilson law 1t is an ac-
acknowledgement that they blundercd.

declares that the Standard is trying

The truth is, both the Standard and
the Miner-representing the Ana

the Investments Of w. A. Clark-are
crazy to elect Campbell because his
labor record is all that the most fas-
tidious millionaire could desire. When

Emile ZOla's Trial.

It is very difficult to discuss, much less to understand, the proceedings against M, Zola, because French law and French court methods are so unlike anything in this country in England. There are some things, however, very plain-Emile Zola is charged with uttering "imputations cast ing a stain upon the military government of Paris in connection, not with the case of Capt. Dreyfus, but with the case of Maj. Esterhazy, arraigned for disclosing the defenses of Paris. Esterhazy was ac- quilted. and Dreyfus was convicted, and is now serving out his sentence on some lonely island. The. court therefore at tempts to shut out, and does shut out, evidence concerning the Dreyfus case, and many of the officials, civil or military, take advantage of the law by refusing to tes- tify.
 It is plain, too, that it is the military arm of the government that is on trial, as well as the great realist. The mob is on the governments side. because an anti Semitic feeling has been aroused in Paris. Capt. Dreyfus being a Jew. M. Zola, who is not Jew, believes that Capt. Drey- fus was unjustly convicted-that he is an innocent man; and although he is a maker of books which he desires to sell, yet the impression prevails that he is as sincere as he is apparently earnest in this mat ter. He is certainly facing very danger ous mobs, and he has to contend with the power of the government
 Tho case has all sorts of complications. Germany denies that she bought any mili- tary secrets, and it Is whispered about that the real purchaser was Russia, who wished to know what her ally was doing. or was capable of doing. Thus the Rus- sian alliance, it is thought may be in- volved. At any rate the government in tends, 1t is plain, to stand by and protect the honor of the army. which is, of course. involved in the Dreyfus trial
 Zola thus stands alone. He has neither official nor popular power behind him. He ard his lawyers have all France against them. The sympathy for Dreyfus exists.

it seems. much more largely out of France than in 1t. zola is doomed to defeat He will not be able to uncover the secrets of the Dreyfus trial. or to elicit facts that will turn the popular current his, way. The government will perhaps become, as re- suit of the trial. even more determined to uphold the Dreyfus decision. which M. zola desires to have reopened.
 So far as Zola. himself Is concerned, he will doubtless be found guilty. His utter ances were certainly explicit, and the court and jury will doubtless hold that they least stain upon the military government of Paris.' All this is quite inexplicable to American readers, but so things are done in France. In case of conviction M. zola may be fined or imprisoned. or both. The fine cannrt exceed 5000 francs, nor the im- prisonment one year. The great novelist has no occasion to dread @ fine, and 1t Is scarcely probable that the government will care to make martyr of him by send ing him to prison.

Snain Has Had Enough Time.

The De Lome incident is ended, as the
 sending of the Maine to Havana was some time ago; but there are two things that
 remain, namely, the utter failure or the
 Sagasta scheme for an alledged autonomous
 government in Cuba, and the equally utter failure of Spain to conquer the insurgents. The repudiation of the proffered autonomy is final and complete. The Cuban patriots will have none of 1t. They cannot be | induced to touch 1t. Threats, promises l and bribes have all been tried, and all have been rejected with promptness, and even
 at times with bloodshed. The unfortunate | death of Col. Ruiz emphasized the rejec- l tion No one of moment within patriot
 circles has accepted it. The autonomous government Is a shadow; 1t has nothing to
 administer; no people of Cuba are under
 it's wings; it is a myth.
 Now, how much longer shall Spains de- sultory and cruel crusade against the peo- pie of Cuba, with whom we had large trade relations, be permitted to go on? It is now in its fourth year, and a conclusion is as far off as 1t was on the day the first shot was fired. This country has already asserted the right of intervention-that Is, the right to take steps that will bring peace to the vexed island. Why should not those steps be taken at once in the name of hu- manity, liberty, peace, good government, and freedom from epidemics? The admin istration has general duty to perform fn this matter, and it should not, need not, hesitate. The people, irrespective of party, will support it in any action that the situa- tion calls for. Spain has been warned. Let the warning be followed by the action logically demanded.
 But the country wants no bond scheme. It is said J. P. Morgan and his associates have bought up the Spauish-Cuban bonds to the amount of $4oO,OO 1000, and that these are to be foisted on the Cubans backed by a guarantee of this government. This scheme has behind it many a man who
 put money in the Hanna bag, but the peo- pie will have nothing to do with this scheme. Away with this purchase scheme; 1t Is rotten through and through Let the sugar trust and Morgan & Co. keep their bonds; let none of them enter into the Cuban settlement that is fast coming, and that cannot come too soon to please the people who do not manipulate bonds or make up campaign syndicates.
 Justice to Cuba, and that, too, quickly. Is what the people want. Keep the bond scheme wholly out of it, and out of sight. It is an unclean thing.

Consul Boyle Reports on the Imports at Liv-
 erpoOl.

From the Washington Evening Star.
 Consul James Boyle reports to the state department that Liverpool imports more American cotton than any other port in the world. For number of years past" he says, "the annual importations have been nearly 5000 900 bales There is just now a discussion in both American and English cotton centers to baling This subject has for many years been discussed off and on everybody interested in the cotton trade being agreed as to the great need of an improvement in the baling. What caused a revival of the discussion here was the ar rival from the United States, some two months ago, of several hundred round bales of cotton. The claim is made by those in- terested that the cylindrical as now put up is a very great improvement on the samples sent over two years ago.
 "One of the most annoying features of the old system of baling is that the jute covering of a number of bales become so torn that marks indicating the place of origin, the quality and the consignee are solutely undecipherable.
 ''It is noted here," says Consul Boyle that the American manufacturers have started agitation for an improvement in the baling of cotton, but it must be ad- mitted that their grievance is a small one compared with that of the British cotton brokers and spinners. The coarse jute cov- ering is nearly always torn, and, in a large percentage of the bales, one-third or one half of the cotton is exposed, and many bales have the covering almost entirely off. Some of the bales are known as 'cauli- flower heads because of their likeness to huge cauif1owers. There is an enormous loss, both to the American shipper and to the British consignee, through the present defective system of baling, as much of the cotton becomes loose, and a great deal of the outside of the bales get damaged.s Cot ton brokers, spinners, insurance men and ship owners here all unite in declaring the urgent need of an improved system of baling. As to whether the cylindrical bale fully meets the requirements of the trade, I am not prepared to say. Certain 1t is, however, that the cylindrical-baled cotton consigned to Liverpool arrived in perfect condition, there not only being no loose cotton, but not single case of mo mark
 "One of the most serious incidents of the cotton export trade is that of fire in the cargo Cotton fires are especially dreaded by ship owners and by the dock authori- ties, for the reason that a cotton fire is harder to extinguish than almost any other kind of fire. A leading official of the Liv- erpool dock board remarked to me the oth- CT day that they dreaded cotton fire al- most as much they did an oil fire There have been some very disastrous cot ton fires in Liverpool. For the last two years, however, there has been a. freedom from these conflagrations. owing it should be satd. to the extra precau tions of the dock authorities, who have been employing asiarge force of men, in addition to the regular dock fire brigade, whose special duty it is to prevent and to exting,Iish fires in the cotton warehouses. and to ex- anime the holds of arriving cotton ships
