According to the Chicago Chronicle
Saint Mckinley Is cool. He was not
cool when he criticised Cleveland's
maintenance peaceful relations with
Spain and full enforcement OF our
neutrality laws. he was not cool
when he shouted with his party for
CUBA libre" He was not calm when
a platform presented with his assent

pendence TO Cuba. But he became
cool when he obtained the presidency.
The Cleveland policy he had derided

Meny Papers sooid About tho Govern
menrs weakness

NfNhnt@A
MADmn, Feb. 2s Several Of the
Madrid papers blame the weakness Of
the Spanish government in its recent
action with the United States over the
De LONE affair. FL impartial says:
"We cannot understand the surprise
with which many Spanish politicians
view the conduct America has pursued
toward Spain, for it is only the con
duct that might be expected from the
line Of action pursued for some time
By the Spanish government
II then proceeds to quote several
passages from its own files for the
year tsyd, IN which it warned the gov
eminent to assume a firmer attitude.
"ln those days" it adds, "the
United States was not nearly so well
prepared for a conflict as now, while
we were more or less as we are to-day.
In the meanwhile they have steadily
progressed. while we. who could have
done much, have done but little.
What is strange, ineXplicable, deserv-
ing pardon neither from God nor his
tory, is that time has been wasted and
money squandered without endowing 2
the Spanish nation with sufficient re-
sources to inspire respect and avoid
humiliations which may bring in
their train war and disaster"

the four years OF bis service on the
bench Judge Dale has never once been
charged with partiality or opp -essior,
so common in courts IN the west, but
has always kept the scales OF justice
we'll poised and balanced to n hair A
giant intellectually and physical y and
possessing pleasing presence, he en-
deared himself to the bar, which grew
in tone and developed with the court,
the dignity OF which was always main
tanned In dealing with the tnous.
Ands Of intricate and complicated
cases which came before him, Judge
Dale was always deliberate and pains
taking lie tolled early and late, and
through his indomitable industry, alb
solute honesty and unqu alifed impair
tiality, built up record Of which any
jurist in the land may we'll be proud.
Judge nAle is Democrat and a
good one, but he never thrusts his
partisauship for ward and politics was
never mentioned 10 his court.
His successor, Judge Buriord, made
a brilliant record as associate justice
Of the. supreme court, and this Is pre-
sumptive evidence that he will give
general satisfaction as the presiding
justice. He is a man OF splendid in
tellectual attAinments, we'll grounded
in the law, and withAl genial and
courteous His appointment gave
pleasure to the First district and he is
cordially welcomed to Guthrie.

An English chemist has recently
analyzed sample of silk dress that
was submitted to him by lady. He
found that Il contained only fraction
over 2s per cent OF silk. and as much
tin was found in it as that present in
poor tie ores from Cornwall The tin
occurs in the so-called Weighing OF
the silk. The chemist states that he
at once realized the fact that the silk
dresses worn by the ladies in Regent
street and Bond street, London, taken
together. would represent a Cornish
mine OF very fair quality. He was
informed by an expert that the silk
he had examined would not stand more
than three months steady wear.

THosE who are working that little

ish bonds, now held by European
bankers, with Cuban bonds endorsed
by the United States are wasting their
time. They might catch the present
auminlstration-some say they have
already done so--but 1t could not be
put through without Congressional
action, and Congress is directly re-
sponsible to the people. These bank

lost to Spain, are merely trying to
make money out of the inevitable.
Spain deserves no compensation for
the loss Of Cuba, nor do those bankers
deserve any assistance from US.

TOUCHING FREE SILTER SENTI-
MENT.

MENT.
The goldbugs announced that the
free silvr sentiment had been killed
when Mckinley was elected president
Acting on this theory the advocates Of
gold monometHllism scrambled eagerly
for the honor OF propcs sing plan to
put this country on gold basis. The
self-appointed monetary commission,
the indianapolis convention, repre-
sentIng the "best business interests,
the house committee on banking and
currency, Secretary of the Treasury
Gage, and even President Mckinley
rushed out plans and specifications de-
signed TO please the money power.
But there has been serious hitch in
the proceedings. Free silver senti-
ment arose froui the tomb and danced
triumphantly through the United
States senate, while the people ap-
plauded.
Now 1t looks as though the house Of
representatives would be captured by
the silver forces In next falls elections
and then, instead of bill ito more
firmly establish the gold standard"
President Mckinley may have pre-
sented to him bill for the remoneti-
zAiion of silver. Cooperation on the
part OF Democrats, Populists and Free
Silver Republicans appears to be in a
fair way for accomplishment on just
and broad basis, and with such an
Slliance the gold cliques hopes OF re-
tanning control OF the house will as
suredlg be disappointed Under the
circumstances the chances for "mone-
tary reform" along the lines suggested
by the precipitAte enthusiasts under
the direction OF Wall street are ex-
ceedingly limited. 1t would be good
idea for the advocates Of gold, when
ever they get an idea that silver sentl-
ment is dead, TO rememb Der the motto
which is impressed upon the people
now; ut is better TO know than to
think"
