DE LoME'S POOR OPINION OF ASSIST
ANT SECRETARY DAY.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Chronicle gives an account of a
farewell dinner by De LONE to members
of the diplomatic corps before leaving
Washington. In this account the
Spanish minister is credited with de-
scribing the visit of First Assistant Sec
retary Day, with the stolen letter. Here
is the description:
"This Mr.. Day." said Mr.. De LONE,
"came into my house just as if he we're q
grocer or a milkman coming to demand
his bill, except that he entered the front
instead of the back way. When he told
his business | was astonished at the fel
lows impudence, as you may well be-
lieye. My first impulse was to call my
butler and have intruder elected, but
upon reflection / concluded to hear what
Mr. Day had to say. told him l had
written the letter and he said he was
very sony had done SO. go back to
Madrid with a new experience. / have
seen some things done here in the name
of diplomacy which believe were never
before witnessed in any country"

MAGAZINE INTACT.
Divers Said to Have Reported That
the txplOsion Did Not Occur There
Accident Theory Doomed.

New York, Feb. 2t.-(Special )-Un-
der the heading, "Divers Startling Re-
port" the Herald this morning prints
the following from its Key West corre-
spondent:
learn from what may be considered
a semi official source that the divers sent
down on behalf Of the United States to
examine the wreck of the battleship
Maine have made prelimary report of
the result of their work.
Incredible as IL may sem, am assured
that after partial examination of the
magazines of the Maine the divers report
that the one in which the explosion Is
supposed to have occurred is intact
According to my information, the con-
tents of these magazines are unharmed.
Therefore, If this report be true, an en-
tirely different aspect is given to the
terrific explosion which brought death
and destructio on to the Maine.
This report reaching Key West, It is
said, caused the members Of the court of
inquiry to decide to proceed to Havana to-
day and begin their investigation at once
instead of organizing the court here.

rNrERsArIoNAL BIMETALLrsM.
ny p1nnfN HEAD POPE.

"
IA recitation to be delivered after the style Of
an innocent school boy Ia James. .Whitcomb
Riley]
There are people in this country who have
queer belief
That bimetallism, when 1t comes, will bring
us some relief
From the troubles that annoy up, which make
our money scarce,
While some others say It's silly, and the whole
thing Is a farce.
,Mong the former was Mckinley, little while
ago,
And he fixed up commission to let the people
know
How he felt about the question which caused
so much concern,
And he sent them cross the ocean to see what
they might learn
About the money question from the nations
over there,
And ask If they would join us in purpose to
declare
The whole world would be bettec off to have
two kinds Of money.
The most of them were fair indeed, but Eng
land thought twas funny,
And laughed at Eddy, 'Ad' and Payne, for
those Mckinley named
To 20 upon the mission, which has now become
so famed
And when old England laughed at them, and
said "Go--" further south),
Each one started homeward with his thumb
stuck in his mouth.
And they told Mckinley: MANY nations
wo-'l abet us;
But we could never do it, because England
wouldn't let u.s."
Mckinley was quite sorry to have his plans
thus fail,
For all along he told us they surely would
prevail
This little disappointment did not disturb him
much,
1t only caused him to conclude that he would
no more touch
The money question, but would leave 1t to
some noted sage;
And suggested to our congress to let one Mr.
| Gage
Fix the standard of the money for this oui
favored land;
But congress, have heard some say, is goin
to take hand
In adiustin' this rare question that's of great
import to us,
Who are scattered DER the country away from
all the fuss
Where the fxin' up of things is done by mer
who think they think,
And don't always act accordin' to the bankers
one-eyed wink.
In our congress, as it now is, we have SOM
first.class "cranks,"
Who will watch the peoples interest, and stol
the greedy banks
In their efforts to enslave us by their singh
standard views,
, And see that every citizen has chance at hi
Just dues.
And when they get to actin, stead of alway
talkin', 50
I'll send you word some other time, so ever
one may know
! What they re doin' down in Washington 'bou
keepin' to their word
Bout international bimetallism of which W
all have heard.

SHORT SIGHTED.

Why so many moneyed men, men
whose business is to loan, should favor
gold standard is difficult to under
stand, except on their lack of under
standing and Of seeing things as they
are.
The single gold standard by the ap.
probation of gold has much contracted
the ability of debtors to pay and there
by has compelled creditors to take
property against their will. This has
teen going on for some time, for when
the mortgaged property would not sell
the holder of the mortgage would have
to bid it in. This condition Of things
running for years, has become chronic.
Rents have come down, or are not paid
at all, interest is back and in many
cases likely to continue delinquent, and
many empty store rooms are to be seen
in most or all of our towns. All these
things should open some peoples vision
and en'ighten judgment.
The interest of money lenders is Ger.
talnly in the prosperity of the bor-
rowers. Business men, professional
men, toilers in all lines, manufacturers
without doubt, are all partakers In
general prosperity, and legislation which
encourages monopolists, trusts ETC., and
with narrowing financial basis which
reduces all values and deals out and
throughout the land bankruptcy and
ruin, is surely not in the interest of any
class of useful citizens.
Even now the Republican leaders are
endeavoring to delude the country by
more fair promises, while scheming to
legislate more and more in the interest
of the money cormorants at home and
abroad, especially abroad. 1t has long
been suspected that some statesmen
who have been for years in this sort oi
service receive an annual consideration
therefor. How otherwise can such in
famous service be accounted for? True,
1t is difficult to conceive of an American
being 30 debased. AS men usually act
from motives, however, it is quite
natural to look for reason in such
cases of monstrous betrayal.
The curse of our country is usury
And when in addition to this, the
money cliques have full control through
the banks of money matters; can initiate
and contract to suit their own sweet
will, all values and business are at their
mercy. OF course, as we say these men
are often caught in their own nets, and
also suffer. Avarice is apt to be short
sighted. The fable of the old woman
whose goose layed golden egg every
day; not satisfied she killed the goose
thinking to get large supply but was
doomed to disappointment, Nothing
is more blind or foolish than grasping
greed. And the people are very foolish
indeed who allow such men to control
the policy of their government. The
American people ought to see and rea,
lize-and "turn the rascals and their
tools out"

taken by the Republicans. They evf-
IDENTIFY expected that Senator Burke
would support the nominations. In
this they were mistaken. He holds
that since the law requires that these
Offices go to Democrats, men who are
recognized as bonafide Democrats shall
be nominated to them. Would any
Republican member Of the senate, ex-
cept Burke, vote to confirm the nomi-
nation Of Charles L. Kurtz, as a Re
publican, to any office, If sent to themf
Not one; and yet Mr.. Kurtz has not
placed himself in a position so antag-
onistic to his party in his opposition to
Senator Hanna as Messrs. outhwaite
and Apthorpe have.
Senatorial Courtesy.
Senatorial courtesy las broken out
in very bad form in the upper branch
of the legislature The members have
such keen regard for each others feel
ings that they can not bring them
selves to vote against a bill, lest 1t
cause a brother senator pain. There
is one measure which has been up for
discussion and final action five times,
and on which every senator who has
expressed himself, except only the au-
thor, has unqualiiedly opposed it, and
the judiciary committee unanimously
recommended its indefinite postpone
ment and yet 1t stays on the calendar,
the day Of its execution being post
poned from time to time, as a matter
of courtesy to the author.
The Lawyers Graft.
Representative McKinnon mas intro
duced bill which gets at the lawyers
graft" in the department Of pure food
in a common sense way. 1t does not
propose to impair the usefulness or
efficiency of the department in the
least, but puts the whole matter of
prosecutions in the hands of the attor-
ney general, with the assistance OF
the county prosecutors. The propo-
sition is very popular. Members of
the general assembly who were law
yers have frequently put the food COM
missioner under obligations to them by
securing the passage of measures de-
sired by the department, and then de-
manded in return that they be retained
as attorneys for the commissioner.
Hanna Is Silent.
Chairman Burke says he has receiv-
ed no answer to the summonses he
sent to Senator Hanna and Colonel
Dick to appear as witnesses before the
senate bribery investigating commit
tee. Even c. c. Shane, to whom
similar notice was sent, acknowledged
it's receipt, though he essayed to make
fun of the committee, and declined to
appear at present.
1t was not expected that Senator
Hanna would appear, and indeed it is
not necessary that he should. 1t was
intended rather as a compliment to
him, or a favor, that he might have an
opportunity to go n the stand, If he
desired it, and explain some Of the
evidence that has been given against
him. If what has been adduced as evil
denCe is false, it ought to be easy for
Senator Hanna and his manager Mr..
Dick, to prove it to be false, and they
should avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity to take the stand.
Even though he does not wish to
make a statement, 1t would seem that
Senator Hanna should be courteous
enough to acknowledge the committees
letters. ]. II. GALBRAITH.
