THE BOND ISSUE BILL
One of the Worst Measures of Class
Legislation That Was Ever
Drawn.

The passage of the bond issue bill
through the senate draws the lines OF
our politics for the next quarter of a
centurys That the bill was dictated
from London, there is no doubt. Its
Importance in international history is
SO great that the Spanish war is trivial
in comparison.
As measure for the collection of war
revenues, the bill is one of the worst
measures of class legislation ever
drawn. The democrats and populists
in the senate attempted to force amend
ments, lessening its determinations
against the masses of the people, but
owing to the fact that Messrs. German,
Gallery, Lindsay, McEnery, Mitchell,
Murphy and Turpie, elected as demo-
Gratis, are controlled by the sugar trust,
the whisky trust. the trunk line pool,
liar combinat tons, the trust and corpor-
alton forces under Hanna were enabled
to do as they pleased. What if pleased
them to do was this:
l. They voted down all amendments
taxing incomes under which pluto
cratic campaign fund contributors
would have been compelled to contribute
to the expense of the war.
2. They voted against all propositions
to avoid bond issues by usingsilver bull
lion on hand.
3. They voted down all amendments
imposing war taxes on trusts and other
com bipations formed in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
voted down oil ~
issue misunderstanding treasury
notes instead of interest-bearing bonds
this regardless of whether such notes
were made legal tender or not.
5. They voted clearly and unmistak-
ably to make everything else in the bill
itself, in the conduct of the war and in
the domestic policies of the country sub
servient 10 the interests of the interna-
tional bankers, who demand the issue
of more bonds and the indefinite contin-
uance of the debt already existing.
As our politics have been heretofore,
any party taking in a national cam
paign the attitude now openly assumed
by the republican party under Hanna's
leadership, could not have carried a
state south of Pennsylvania and west of
New York. Perhaps the Spanish war,
Hanna's leadership and our new world
politics" of cooperation with London
bond syndicates will change all this. It
remains to be seen. What can be seen
already is that in one way and another
in every way in fact-the bill draws
the lines for great political revolution.
Either the plutocracy under Hanna will
be wiped out as the federalists were un-
der Adams, or the United States will
cease to be an independent republic of
equal and self-governing states, and will
become an empire with Baron Roths-
child as its Caesar and London as the
real seat of its government.-Missis-
sippi Valley Democrat.

Men or the Places.

Quay's success in buying and BULLDOG
ing the Pennsylvania republican con-
vention and thus securing the nominal
ton of his candidate for governor may
prove the defeat of his party in the Key
stone state. 1t is alleged that if the
democrats nominate the right man for
governor they will be able to elect him.
This condition of affairs is not peculiar
to Pennsylvania. All over the country
facts are making it evident that this
year presents a great opportunity for
the democratic party. The people are
disguised with the hypocrisy and dis
honesty of the republicans, and are
ready to deprive them of the power
which they have abused. But. as in
Pennsylvania. democratic success re-
quires that the right kind of men be
nominated by the democrats. However,
democratic success with the wrong kind
of men for candidates would be worse
than defeat, for the effect of electIng in
competent or unsound men this fall
would be to imperil the chances of vic
tory in the campaign of 1900. This
paper has urged care in the selection of
democratic candidates for congress, be-
cause such care will insure future VIC
tories. Let wise and loyal democrats
be chosen, and let the cranks and the
men of one idea remain in the harmless
seclusiun of private life.-Chicago Dis

"MONETARY REFORM"
Republicans Display Their Stupidity
and Selfshness at a Crit
iCal Time.

Republican newspapers that are
roaring about the partisan attitude of
democrats on the war revenue bill are
also demanding that monetary re-
FORM be pushed in congress.
Stupidity and selfshness could not
go further than this. The men who
urge the currency measure know that
it cannot pass the senate. They know
that such bill would arouse bitter OPP
position in both houses. They know
that nothing could more surely provoke
political division, and yet they urge
that this bill be taken up and passed by
the house.
What is the object of such PROPOSE
ton? Simply the desire of crazy fanat-
les to push the currency question into
prominence. Good political sense on
the part of administration newspapers
would prompt them to keep the money
question in the background. If the re-
publicans gain any sort of standing be-
fore the people it must be from Wig
orous prosecution of the war.
But the republicans are not prosecut-
ing the war with vigor,. and it is al
legged that they will not prosecute it
vigorously until after congress has
voted to issue bonds.
To sink political differences and to
unite in n patriotic support of the pres
ident in the war against Spain means
from a republican point of view, sac
rifices by democrats and grab at every
possible political advantage by repub-
licans. But that sort of thing won't
work.-Chicago Dispatch.

CAMP MERRITT ALL TORN UP.
Excited Over the Alleged Presence sS u
Dangerous Spy in the Camp
Ironclad Orders Issued.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2O.-The great
est excitement prevails in Camp Mer-
rift over the report that has leaked
out to the effect that one of the most
noted and daring of Spanish spies had
been captured in camp. 1t was re-
ported that the mar had enlisted in
one of the regular regiments of infan-
try. An investigation of the rumor re-
vealed the fact that the spy has not as
yet been apprehended, but it is known
that the government has recently re.
ceived reliable information that leads
it to believe that Spain has informers
in Camp Merritt.
The nature and source of the govern
ment's Information are not known tC
the officers here, but the war depart
ment has issued ironclad orders TO the
commanding officers to make a close
investigation of every man that en-.
lists. 1t can be reliably stated that
the government fears a certain we'll
known informer, whose name for the
present is withheld.
1t is known that the government has
information that leads it to believe
that this man is in San Francisco with
the purpose of '..ulisting in one of the
regiments, even if he has not already
done so. The man is said to have been
secretly employed by De LONE when
he was in Washington.

Speaker Reed is still occasionally
alluded to as the man who is likely to
make trouble for President Mckinley.
The war, though, has had tendency to
clip the wings of the cars conse-
quence.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
The republicans of the senate,
aided by five or six alleged democrats,
have fastened upon the country an adj
ditional bonded Understanding in
debtedness of $500, 00O, 900. as an unnec-
essary a bonded debt as was ever forced
upon a people.-Illinois State Register.
Bonds for the capitalist, tariff for
the trusts, protection for the monoPo-
lies, immunity from taxation for the
incomes of the rich, war prices for
bread and meat and clothing. peace
prices for the products of the farm.
What beautiful system of govern
ment-Louisville Dispatch,
--Messrs. Mckinley and Hanna are
keeping the minis closed against silver
because the bond syndicate wants them
closed, and for no other reason. In the
old days. you remember, before the
bond syndicate got a mortgage on him
secured by his note to Hanna, Mr.. Nc
Kinley was a leading bimetalist, who
thought a Notwithstanding silver
dollar worth at least 200 cents more to
this country than an interest-bearing
bond for 100 cents.-Mississippi Valley
Democrat.
The coinage of the silver bullion
in the treasury. commonly called seign-
forage, was the tub thrown 10 few
free silver senators to induce them to
vote for the bond issue. These and
five or six recreant democrats fur
nished the McHannaites the needed
votes to secure the adoption of the
nterest-bearing bond provision of the
war revenue bill. The people of the
country who are thus placed in further
bondage to the shylocks, will hereafter
overwhelm with their wrath the men
who forged their shackles.-Illinois

NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS.
The Business Portion OF Park City. Utah.
Destroyed by FIre-MAde a
Clean Sweep.

SALT LAKE, Utah, June Ca spe-
cial to the Tribune from Park City.
Utah, says: The entire business por-
ton of Park City on Main street, ex-
cepting a few business houses on the
upper end of the street, was burned to
the ground Sunday morning. The fire
started about four o'clock, in the Amer
lean hotel, and was famed by south
wind and swept the entire street.
Park City's business portion is now a
mass of ruins. The damage is proba-
ably close to a million dollars.
The fire was gotten under control at
e:3O. At eight o'clock it reached the
lower end of Main street and was cut
off from Kimballs bar. and the Union
Pacific depot by the blowing up of
houses. At ten o'clock the Crescent con-
contractor, south of the Union Pacific
depot, was burned.
The only store left is that of Welsh,
Driscoll & Buck. Every drug store,
butcher shop and all but three saloons
were burned to the ground. The Park
opera house and the new A. o. U. w.
building. with the new Grand opera
house were entirely destroyed. The
Marramac mill was only saved by hard
work. The city hall, both bank build
ings, post Office and telephone exchange
are gone.
Many people are left homeless, hav-
ing nothing but their clothes. The
wind carried the flames In sheets until
the whole center of Park City was
Quilted
The situation is now that the whole
city from the American house, where
the fire started to the Union Pacific
depot (which was saved), is burned on
both sides of the street. The whole is

by Gen. Merritt.
FIVE VESSELS WILL TRANSPORT THEM.
Sen. Merritt Will, If Possible, Accompany

to Arrange the Details of the Fourth
Contingent and Bring Up the Rear About
July 1.

SAN FRANCISCO, June o.--Mai-Gen
Merritt has issued an order to Gen.
Otis designating the troops that are to
compose the third Philippine expedi-
ton, which will be commanded by
Brig. Gen. King. The order names the
troops as follows:
The two battalions of the Idaho vol
unteers; the Thirteenth Minnesota vol
unteer'infantry; two battalions, North
Dakota volunteers; the Seventh Cali
fornia volunteer infantry; the Wyoming
battalion of volunteers; the two bat
teries, Il and L, of the Third United
States artillery, commanded by Capt.
Benz. Il. Randolph and Capt. VIM. E.
Birkeimer, respectively. These troops
will be transported by the steamers
Morgan City, City of Para, Ohio, In
diana and Valencia, all of which are
being put in readiness for the reception
of the men as rapidly as possible, under
the direction of Maj. Long, the depot
quartermaSter, who is rushing the coal
and supplies on board in the expecta-
ton of having this work completed by
next Wednesday. The exact date of
sailing has not yet been fixed, but it
will probably be not later than the end
Of next week.
The commissary officers of the vari-
Gus commands have been instructed to
report to Col. Baldwin, chief commits
sary, what supplies are necessary to be
taken on board the transports.
Gen. Merritt and his staff may sail
with this expedition. He has had the
matter under consideration for some
little time, and as he is very anxious to
to depart, is making every effort to so
arrange his affairs that he can go.
Maj. r. E. Thompson, chief signal of
ficer of the expeditionary forces, will
sail with Gen. Merritt, and is now pre-
pairing to take his departure at an
hours notice. The signal corps is yet
lacking in its required quota of expert
telegraph operators, who will perform
an important part in the conquest and
government of the Philippines. Fiji
teen are coming from st. Paul, to be
followed by others from other eastern
cities. Maj. Thompson will leave an
officer in San Francisco to enlist men
for the corps and forward them, to-
gether with necessary supplies, to Ma
Mia.
Maj-Gen. Otis will arrange the de-
tails of the fourth expedition, and will
probably remain here until all troops
are embarked. 1t is hoped to accom-
plished this on or before July l.

CANT MCCALLA, Guantanamo Bay,
June Is, VIA KINGSTON, Jamaica, June
1.-THE brick fort and earthworks at
Caimenara at the end of the railroad
leading to the city of Guantanamo were
demolished to-day by the bombardment
of the Texas, Marblehead and Suwanee.
The varships opened fire at p. m,
and the bombardment lasted one hour
and half.
The Texas steamed slowly up the
channel leading to the Notifications,
followed closely by the Marblehead.
The Texas fired two shots as range
finders, both falling short and to the
right The Marblehead stood off to the
west side of the channel, and opened
with her fve-inch guns on the fort,
knocking down part of the wall.
The Texas then threw in some r.
inch shells, tearing down the wall of
the fort, and throwing the bricks and
mortar 80 feet in the air.
After badly damaging the fort, the
Aarblehead stood further in to shell
the earthworks and barracks at the
west end of the harbor. She knocked
them into the air and, when the Span
,iards fed from the fort they were
sheIled by the st. Pail and driven in
TO the bushes.
The Spaniards fired only five shots,
z~hich did no damage. After the ships
stood out into the harbor the Spanish
IN the bushes opened fire on the Mar
olehead's launch, which replied vigor-
7usly.
The Suwanee then turned back and
-sheiled the bushes, driving the Span.
iards inland.

The Spaniards Consider Their Honor (0
Inpugned.

madrid, June 10, p. m.-The state.
ment that President Mckinley has
sent to Admiral Cervera and Gen.
Pando messages saying that he would
hold them personally responsible for
the lives of Lieut.. Hobson aud his men,
has produced a disagreeable impression
here in military circles as showing
that President Mckinley distrusts the
military honor of the Spaniards, who.
oa their part, despise all threats.
Such messages. it is declared, render
the future exchange of the prisoners
most unlikely.
