FOR BRYAN AND SILVER.
South still Stands For state Rights and
Cheap Dollars.


South still Stands For state Rights and
Cheap Dollars.
Mr.. Danforth, the chairman of the
New York Democratic state committee,
has been in the south talking politics
with the party leaders. He reports that
"the south is apparently still for Bryan
and silver. They are against trusts,
against government by injunction, and
for all the other principles which Mr..
Bryan enunciates.
That is to say, the southern Demo-
Gratis are still for the payment of the ex-
listing gold standard obligations of the
government and of private individuals
in Al cent dollars. They are still in IA
vor-as they were in 1S61-of the doc
trine that the national government can
not enforce its own laws in state
against the wishes Of the governor of
that state. They are still in favor of
recognizing the supreme court SO that
it will declare valid all laws congress
may pass, no matter how unconstitu-
tional they may be.
In short, according to Mr.. Danforth,
the south stands just where it did in
1896. He adds, however, that the south
ern leaders are inclined to believe that
"the Chicago platform can be modified
so as to command the support of the
conservative business men, who,
through the lies invented by political
opponents and Misrepresentation of
the platform, declined to act with us in
1896"
Mr.. Danforth refrains from stating
either the possible notifications or the
alleged Misrepresentation 1t would be
difficult for him to specify the latter.
The business men who refused to vote
for Bryan in 1896 did SO because their
own unaided intelligence told them
what the free coinage Of legal tender
silver dollars at the ratio of l6 to
meant, especially when those dollars
were to be used retroactively.
The business men saw without being
told that such use Of cheap free silver
dollars meant the shrinkage in value to
the extent of one-half of their bank de-
posits and Of all their other credits,
whether mortgages, book debts or life
insurance policies. The business men
did not misunderstood either Bryan or
the Democratic platform.
What are the notifications to be
made in the platform so that it may be
less offensive to the conservative bust
ness men?" Is tho demand that the free
coinage dollars shall be legal tender
for the payment Of existing gold stand
ard debts to be abandoned? Is the ra-
ito of 16 to to be dropped and no ratio
to be specified in the platform?
Bryan has declared himself opposed
to any modification of the Chicago plat
form. What are the changes which the
south, though "still for Bryan, is will
ing to make in order to get a little more
northern support? Mr.. Danforth's fail
ure to go into details justifies the as
sumption that the southern Democrats
are not prepared to make any real con-
cessions. They still want A cent dol
lars to be used in the payment of debts
due to northern creditors. - Chicago

WOOL INDUSTRY.
How Protective Tariff Has Helped tho
Home Sheep Raisers.

How n Protective Tariff Has Helped tho
Home Sheep Raisers.
The value of protective tariff is
highly appreciated, by some people at
least. Word from Washington, Pa,
says that S. w. Scott g. Son, Waynes-
burg, wool dealers, have just sold to
Luce & Manning of Boston nearly 400,-
900 pounds of feeces. About 200, 900
pounds of this was bought at IL cents,
and an advance of 10 cents nets them q
handsome profit They had not sold any
of their purchases for two years They
will begin to ship next week. They
have $50, 900 pounds stored in the east,
$4,000 in West Warren, w. Va, and
the rest at Waynesburg.
This indicates that the wool growing
industry of Greene and Washington
counties, which had been woefully
neglected during the past few years,
will boom again, greatly to the benefit
of the farmers, farm laborers, wool
dealers and railroads of that locality.
What is true of the counties just men,
toned is true of other localities as we'll,
hence it is seen that the rejuvenating
influences of the Dingley law are widen
ing almost daily. -McKeesport (Pa. }

State Department Believes
It Is Only a Question
Of Money.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, 1S9S.-The Off
cials Of the State Department do not ex-
pect that tomorrow's meeting Of the
the last On the other hand, it is not
expected that the Spaniards viii come in
with an unconditional acceptance of our
last demand. S till, substantial progress
may be regarded as having been achieved
if the Spaniards show disposition to
discuss in any phase the cession of the
Philippines to the United States. even in
connection with money indemnity. The
amount of that indemnity, after all. it is
believed, will be the principal point of
difference between the two sides.
Inquiry has been made into the char
acter of the projectors of the remarkable
syndicate scheme for the purchase of the
Philippines for the sum of s400 100000. The
result has been to show that they are ir-
responsible parties, and it is scarcely to
be doubted that the project has been put
forward as means of enhancing the
price which the Spaniards may demand
for the REIMBURSEMENT of the islands.
In other words the Spaniards might
claim justification for demanding 5000, 600, 900
if they could point to the fact that a syn
dieate stood ready to pay double that
price for the islands. However, this has
not led to any modification of the Ameri-
can demands as far as can be learned, and
it is probable that several sessions of the
Joint Commission will be consumed in
haggling over the mere amount of money
to be paid over

Lehigh Valley Crossing Ordin-
ance May Be Reintro-

Mayor Hoos this afternoon appointed
ex-Colonel r. G. Smith, of the Fourth

member of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners to fill a vacancy
occasioned by the gallant Colonels ac-
ceptance of the position as Colonel Of
Volunteers, in the pay of the United
Government.
1t will be recalleds that Messrs. Dickin-
son, Thompson & McAIaster, counsel for
ex-A1ayor d. Oliver Of Bayonne, prop
erty owner in Lafayette, raised an OBJ
lection to the permission granted by the
Street and Water Board to the Green
vile and Hudson Branch Of the l-ehigh
Valley R. r. Co. to cross Communipaw
avenue at grade. Counsel contended that
Colonel Smith, who voted for the ordi-
nance was not a de jure member of the
Board because he had taken service un-
der the United States Government, and
by the original Street and Water Board
act the office of Commissioner was va
Gated. The ordinance was, therefore,
certioraried and argued and is now be-
fore the Supreme Court
Then Counsellor Charles D. Thompson,
of the above firm, skillfully made flank
movement by instituting mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel Mayor Hoos to ap-
point a Commissioner TO fill the vacancy
created by the Coloners acceptance of
the position as commandant of the Fourth
N. J. Volunteers, in the pay of the United
States.
Mayor Hoos having learned that Colonel
Smiths resignation had been accepted by
the War Department, he today appointed
Mr.. Smith TO the Board to succeed him
self, or rather to fill the vacancy which
he had himself created by going to the
front This action of His Honor will
forestall the mandamus proceedings. 1t
of course cannot affect the decision Of
the Court on the certiorari. but should
the ordinance be set aside because of the
illegaiity of the ColoneIs vote. then the
Board will repass the ordinance.
