STILL FOR FREE SILVER.
Bryanftes Strive to Keep In tho
Background All other NatiOn-
al Questions.

A "league" composed of free silver
meeting at Indianapolis the other day.
Resolutions were adopted declaring g
that:
1--WE regard the financial question as the
paramount political issue of the day, and
hereby pledge ourselves to continue the
battle for bimetallism until the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of sixteen to one
with full legal tender quality is secured.
without waiting for the consent or cooper
alton of any other nation"
1t is evident that the free silverites of
Indiana and adjoining states are eager
to borrow other peoples property and
then have the laws changed so that they
cannot be obliged to return more thar
two-ffths of what they have borrowed,
and remain the happy possessors of
three-tifths of the borrowed property.
1t is true that this yearning to get
hold of and keep the property of others
is not set forth in the resolution adopted
at indianapolis. That vital principle
of the free silver agitation is mentioned
in no resolutions. 1t is discussed by no
free coinage leader or speaker.
The free silverites are as guarded in
their speech as are n gang of counter
feiters or of burglars. When the men,
bers of such gang are making the final
arrangements for putting counterfeit
notes in circulation or Tobbing a bank
they speak of going to work." or of
being "all ready for business" They
never, even among themselves, use the
ugly words which fifty describe their
trades.
So the Bryanites never intimate that
the object of coming silver free at the
ratio of sixteen to one and making the
cheap silver dollars which would be
coined a legal tender retroactively in
uue IlaynIc sr oD1'a.''---- based on
the gold standard is to enable men who
have borrowed gold standard money
for real estate or personal property to
nav their creditors in Accent In
stead of 10O-cent dollars.
That is all there is to free silverism.
II has a varnish of professions of love
for "humanity" and for labor With
in it is a fostering mass of cowardly
and concealed dishonesty.

the star actor. That individual is dis
turbed in mind over the Cuban question,
which inevitably thrusts him and his
free silver specially on one side. or
course he has to declare himself in fa-
vor OF the independence of Cuba and
wear free Cuba" badge, but he dis
likes exceedingly this new question
which he cannot utilize for presidential
purposes.
Therefore he asserted in his speech
that "the war has BEEN a factor in our
elections, but it shall be no longer,
and the welfare of our country shall
be the factor" In other words, Gen
tlemen, do not let us allow this Cuban
question to take possession Of the pub
lie mind if we can avoid it. The policy
which aims at the violation Of contracts
and the spoliation of creditors must
not be forced into the background by
new issues. Chicago Tribune.

POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT.
Absolute Justification of the Course
Pursued by the Chief
Executives.

The president is vindcated. From
amid storm of calumny and hatred
scarcely paralleled in American history
he rises by inherent merit into the Sc
rene realm of established and eternal
right. Never was Il policy more vio-
lently and viciously assailed than his.
Never was one more absolutely justi-
fed, in general and in detail, by the
incontrovertible logic of events. The
voice of denunciadion, yesterday so
stridulous to-day is dumb. Opponents
have become supporters. And the ma
iority of congress, and the great mass
of the American people, who have all
along trusted the president and be-
Iieved in his policy, rejoice in the
amplest possible confirmation of their
confidence.
For what is of supremest Importance
tothe nation to-day is this, that, no mat
ter which way the scale may incline
toward peace, as is still hoped, or to-
ward war, as some men fear-the atti-
tude of the United States is justified in
the minds of its own people and in
the eyes of the impartial world. A
month ago that could not have been
said. 1t was true then, as now, that
this country was in the right. But the
fact had not been made evident to the
world, nor even proved to the fuI salts
faction of all our own people. There
was ignorance of the real state of af-
fairs in Cuba. There was doubt as to
the right of this country to intervene.
There was still a lingering notion that
autonomy might prove to be the
panacea for all Antillean ills. Above
all, there was the feeling that diplomacy
had not yet done it's best, that not all
peaceful means of settlement had been
employed, and that therefore anything
looking to the last dreau alternali'r Of
war would be premature and unJustI-
fable. Any overt act, or ultimatum, or
decree of intervention, by this govern
ment would have placed the United
States on the defensive i'm Hhe court
of the nations, and would have assured
to Spain a certain amount of sympathy.
But by the tact and patience of Presi-
dent Mckinley all that has been
changed. The cup of Spanish obsM-
macy against the right is filled. Tho
measure of American forbearance and
cancellation is complete. If war comes
now. it will be through the perversity
of Spain, and Spain will! be, from the
outset, put on the moral defensive be-
fore the world. The material prepara-
ton of this country is vastly more com
plete than it was. The moral advan-
tage of this country over Spain is sim
ply overwhelming.
That is the inestimable debt the ma
ton owes to-day to William Mckinley.
Not only he is vindicated. He has vim
dicated the nation. He has made the
whole world see that Spain is in the
wrong and that we are in the right
and are acting well within both moral
and legal right in making the call that
has been made upon Spain for settle
ment in Cuba. Whatever may come,
whether peace or war, the honor of this
nation is secure. 1t will be peace with
honor or righteous war crowned with
victory and honor. The choice rests
with Spain. The result to this nation
is assured.-N. Y. Tribune.

Miss Amelia Sommerville, Gotham
actress, appears to be peculiarly cir
cumspect and self-restrained young
woman, with more than the usual re-
gard for the proprieties of life. AS we
understand it, she absolutely refused
to marry again until full "a hours had
elapsed after the receipt of the decree
of divorce that she had secured. 1t IS
always well to have all appearance of
haste eliminated from affairs of this

strewed Their Path with Flowers.

San Francisco, April 21.-The First
regiment, U. $. infantry. comprising
500 men, left here yesterday for New
Orleans. The departure of the soldiers
resulted in a popular demonstration
such as has never been equaled here.
At least 200, 600 people assembled along
the line of march from the Presidio to
the ferry and there was a continuous
roar of cheering as the soldiers
marched along. Thousands of school
children, who had been granted a half
holiday, sang patriotic songs and
waved flags, while others strewed the
path of the departing warriors With
flowers.

AT THE ELECTIONS.
Republicans Achieve Decisive VIC
tories In Democratic
StronghOlds.

Municipal elections have just been
held in many cities and towns in WIS
consin, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braslla, Arkansas, Colorado, Minnesota,
Ohio, Washington, New Mexico and
Oklahoma, and state officers ana legis-
lature were elected in Rhode Island.
AS is usual with such contests III oil
years." the various city elections failed
to show that public sentiment is SWING
ing in a decisive way to either OF the
two principal parties. The democrats
won the day in Chicago, which IS often
The case in minor elections there, while
in Kansas City the republicans achieved
a decisive victory. The one official
elected in Cincinnati was democrat,
because of reasons well known. lhe
republicans made decided gains in Ne
Draska; q demo-populistic combination
gained a victory in Milwaukee; the
democrats won, us usual, in Little Rock,
and the republicans had the best OF the
battles in Oklahoma, New Mexico ana
Washington.
In Rhode Island, which was carried
by the democrats in 1889, 1890, 1891 and
1875, lIic SdilI'u a NNN''''~ =
triumph, electing their ticket and Ge-
cided majority Of the Legislative can
Gidates, thereby insuring republican
senator as successor to Mr.. Aldrich,
whose term expires next March. When
ever the drift is toward democracy
Rhode Island either goes democratic
OF gives very small republican plu-
rality, but the republican majority in
| that state was one of the largest which
the party has ever obtained.
For the past two months the country
has been so absorbed by the kaleido-
scopic changes in the 1lispano-Cuban-
| American situation that the people
| have given but scant attention to poll
| tics or political conditions. But the
| approach OF the important congression
al campaign of next fall will cause
| closer watch to be given to domestic
| conditions hcnccforward, no matter
what happens abroad, and the politi
| clan, who is ever with us, will soon be
| claiming and receiving far greater
| degree of attention than has of late
| been allotted to him.-Cincinnati Com

Much has been forcibly said on the
subject of properly prepared food as a
preventive of intempcrance. med
ical authority remarks that unless a
person is decently fed, warmed and
clothed he can hardly get into right
mind to respond to moral, spiritual or
legal suasion. The Submerged classes
it is urged, will be less strongly tempted
when their bodies and nerves are prop
erly nourishcd, and some element OF
good cheer brought into their lives.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurablc. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by CON
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. J..
Cheney L. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood

Washington, April 2l.-The Spanish
minister, accompanied by six members
of his staff, left Washington at 7:30 last
night, and the Spanish government
thus terminated it's diplomatic repre-
sentation in the United States. The
minister and his party left by the
Pennsylvania road, going northward
to Buffalo and thence to Toronto. To
day the Spanish officials will be on
British soil. They will spend some
days in Toronto. From thence they
go to Halifax to take an ocean liner.

Think of it! Somebody is counter
feiting copper cents. At the present
price of the raw material there is d
profit of ten cents on every 100 coins
turned out. 1t is difficult to see how
the skilled labor required for this work
can earn even laborers' wages at this
business-to say nothing of the cost of
distributing the coins and the dead
certainty of soon being put at work in
prison on no wages at all.
