1NDoEsEs The ACCUSATION.

Ehe only menace from free silver
is the Democratic party" says a gold
standard contemporary. 1t might
have added, Sand the only menace to
the liberties Of the people is the Re-
publican party" But the Democratic
party cheerfully accepts and indorses
the accusation. 1t is altogether true.
Free silver is menace to the gold
standard, and the Democratic party
proposes to keep the menace vigor-
ousIy menacng until the minis are
opened wide to the free and unlimited
coinage of the white metal. The
Chicago platform declared very clear
ly on that question, and that declara-
ton is as immovable as the everlast
ing hills. For more than leo years
the party has stood for silver and gold
as the money metals of the country,
and there are more reasons now thar
ever why it should stand by its prin-
ciples.
But why SO much alarm If the re-
cent election buried free silver be-
You'd the possibility Of resurrecuonP
Why fear corpse, especially if it be
underground it's grave unmarked and
the mourners dispersed? The fact Of
the matter is, free silver did not re-.
ceive blow in the recent elections.
1t was not in the ring as principal.
1t made no fight for itself, nor did it's
friends push it into the struggle. 1t
is still the same old menace to the
schemes Of the money powers to over
ride the common people, and the
Democratic party is infusing adj
ditional Life and vigor into it every
day. In 1900 it will be more of a
giant than ever. There Is no doubt
about that, and the gold standard will
make mistake if it convinces itself
otherwise. Free silver is as necessary
to the people rs are railways and
other public utilities.
The Democratic party vas a men,
ace to the Tories and the Wings in
their day, and they could not survive
it. 1t will be just the same with the
Republican party. Az did the Tory
and Wing, the Republican party has
departed from the way Of political
honesty and healthy economic prin.
ciples, and it will have its day and
pass out. Its almost brutal agrees
sivenoss, however, is expediting it's
work of self destruction, which; is all
the better for the people. The Re.
publican party has clearly defined
principles OF government, but they
are not in harmony with the best in.
tersets of the common. people. They
encourage the building up of a favor
ed class with the gold standard Of
value measure and discrimin ating
Legislation in favoroof apital combin-
atoms for The foundation. That ID
not Democratic. therefore it is un-
American. And because it il un-
American the Democratic party will
continue to be menace to it until
the government is put back into the
iolds channels of right, justice and
equality before the law for all the
people. Free silver is the everlasting
enemy OF arrogant money combines,
and because it is, the Democratic
party will always champion it's cause.

Jury Holds Enginemen to Blame for
the Death OF Switchman Ashley,

All day yesterday a coroner's jury,
composed OF Walter Larsh, Sam Beck

Social ProbIcm. in Hawaii

Honolulu Letter to San Francisco Chronicle)
Oddly enough, it is the half-caste and the ma
tive women married to the white men who fear
most profoundly the effects of annexation. They
are afraid that the color line never before drawn
in Hawaiian society, will speedily be marked
with no uncertain symbol. The word 'nigger''
has never been heard in Honolulu but there are
many whose features show the broad mark of the
Polynesian races who are afraid it will soon be
heard there. When a dusky court was the apex
of society, and men, now leaders in republican
simplicity, disputed for precedence there could
be no question of color. If there had been. the
white would have been Disseminated against
Later, the intermarrisges sufficient protec-
ton. Only last night, in Honolulu's SWEETEST
restaurant, I saw the postmaster general and his
wife and daughter sitting at the next table to
three Chinese, apparently prosperous, but obyi-
ously not high class. There were Kanakas, Amer
lean soldiers pretty girls with light-colored skins
and traces of Chinese origin about the eyes and
a Kanaka fatness of the nose, Philippians and
Europeans scattered at the tables. i doubt il
such mixture dwells in such social equality any,
where else on earth. Heretofore mixed marriages
were freely allowed, and future regulation of
these TO suit American prejudices is one of the
difficult problems for the commissioners.
