Senator Clark of Wyoming, who voted
for the Teller resolution, like Senator
Chandler, contends that his vote was
not inconsistent with Republicanism.
1t was certainly directly antagonistic
to the Republican platform, for that de-
clared against the free coinage of silver
and in favor of the maintenance of the
existing standard; while Teller's resolu-
tlon provided for the former and, carried
into effect, would inevitably destroy the
latter. Nevertheless rs a lot of Republi-
cans have recently declared that opposit-
ION to OWL service refom, ola most vio-
lent kind, too, was not inconsistent with
Republicanism, though the Republican
platform pledged the party to maintain
and extend the civil service system, Mr..
Clark can citelpretty good authority in
support of his claim,

that is the preservation of the existing
standard which is a gold standard. The
issue is therefore, between gold mono
metalliism and silver monometalllsm,
and no amount of shuffling and eVasive
statements can obscure it or deceive the
people in regard to it. The free silver
people are bold and outspeken. Ihey
know what they want and are not
ashamed, to tell it in English that admits
of no misunderstanding or misinterpreta'
tion. They believe in the Righteousness
of their ca use and are making an aggres-
sive fight. To have any hope of success
their opponents must make fight equally
aggressive and open. If they are going
to begin with an apology for the gold
standard, if they are going to act as II
they distrusted it, if they arc going to
proceed upon the assumption that they
can deceive the people as to the real issue
by using such phrases as "sound money
and sbest money in the world" and
avoiding the word gold they might as
well not make the fight at all. Faint
hearts do not win victories. There is
doubtless good deal of prejudice against
the gold standard and very large part
of it is due to the evasion which has been
practioed by political leaders in regard. to
it. The majority are not students OF
finance, and derive their ideas on the sub
jeot from people who assume to know or
at least to talk upon it, The great ma
iority of the nrations delivered on the
subject in Congress for the past twenty
years have either been fierce attacks upon
the gold standard or defences of 1T which
had an air of apology about them !;
and hence it Is but natural that
prejudice should grow UP among
people not versed in the subject,
against the gold standard. But
to continue this apologetic tone will not
remove this prejudice. 1t will only
strengthen it. The gold standard under
existing circumstances is the only stand
ard that we can adopt with safety. 1t Is
the standard of nearly the whole civilized
world today, and the few nations that
have used silver are gradually changing
to gold. Instead of keeping silent about
| it as if it were guilty thing,a bold, open
and aggressive fight should be made In
its favor. Reason is on its side, expert
ence supports it, the example OF all the
great commercial nations of the earth is
in it's favor. President Mckinley and
Secretary Gage have struck the right key
| note. The issue is between silver n-ono-
metallism and gold monometalllsm. II
there everswas any middle ground 1t dis

mission reported that the nations OF

nWAsRlNeroN's SUICIDAL MANIA.
A Young Girl and Her Father the --latest
Victims

Washington, February a.-The suicidal
mania which has caused number to
attempt self-destruction in this city for
the past several weeks, may result in
the loss of the lives of Walter Taylor, a
clerk in the Treasury Department. and
his pretty 20-year-old daughter. Lucy.
Miss Taylor has been in i'll health for
some time past and last night her illness
assumed critical form. She was with
difficulty persuaded to return to her
room and about O'Clock in the morning,
after violent struggle with her parents,
who tried to hold her, plunged through
the window of her home and fell into q
snow bank in front yard.
r. She then ran terribly cut and bruised.
through the streets, and after a half
hours search, was found in a snow
bank, almost nude. by policeman. She
was taken home, and it was found that
during her absence, her father had hanged
himself by rope attached to the boiler
of a stove. He was cut down and re-
moved to the hospital unconscious.
At noon the physicians reported that
both Mr. and Miss Taylor were improving
and that there was no doubt of their
recovery.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

There was tinge of the sensational
connected with the funeral of the late
John G. Horne of this city yesterday.
Journal readers will remember the an
nouncement of the bringing of suit
against Mr.. Horne for breach of promise
BY Miss Ditmar of Boston. Little, II any
thing, has been done about the matter OF
late, and people generally were awaiting
events.
Then came the illness and death of MIR.
Horne. Sunday afternoon Miss Ditinar
arrivedyin the city and took quarters at
the Park Hotel Monday morning she
called on City Marshal Call and asked
him If she would be liable to prosecution
if she attempted to enter the Horne resi-
dence. The marshal told her that she
would not be allowed to enter, and that
If she attempted to enter she would be
liable to prosecution for trespass.
Miss Ditmar did not go down to the
Silver street home of the deceased, but she
managed to smuggle in some flowers.
At the house it was known that Miss
Ditmar was in the city, and ssrict
watch was kept over the door. No one
was allowed to enter the house but those
well known to the relatives of the de-
ceased.
After talking with the city marshal,
Miss Ditmar returned TO the hotel and
began to plan to send some flowers for
the funeral.
The floral offerings at the funeral were
numerous and very beautiful. Among
them were some pinks and roses that no
one knew from whence they came. A
relative told the journal that those at the
house had determined not to allow Miss
Dituar in the house, for the reason that
it would strengthen her case against the
estate if she was allowed to attend the
funeral. "But," said the relative, "we
noticed some flowers that we could not
tell from whence they came, and we Won
dered if she did not send them. "-Kenne-

Monday II. E. Rand of Boston, buy
er of sheep, cattle and general produce in
northern Maine, was arrested in Houlton
by United States Deputy Marshal Noah
M. Prescott on warrant charging him
with having ON Nov. II, 1887, struggled
eight sheep from New Brunswick into
Maine, and taken to Bangor for hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Charles Hamlin. County Attorney
Smith appeared for Rand, who after p
hearing was discharged Deputy United
States Marshal Burton Smith of Portland
was present at the hearing. 1t appears
that Rand bought eight sheep from a
farmer named William Ell. Neal, whose
farm is half in Houlton and half in New
Brunswick. The farmhouse and most of
the buildings are in New Brunswick, but
there are go acres of land and big barn
on the American side. Rand says that he
understood the whole farm to be in
Maine, and that he had no idea of buy
ing New Brunswick sheep. Farmer Neal

MEET THE ISSUE sQUARELY.

Senator. Frye and Senator Aldrlch ap-
pear to be apprehensive lest the President
and Secretary Gage have come out too
squarely In favor of the gold standard.
Senator Frye is quoted as saying that If
Mr.. Gage were more of politician and
less of a banker he would have avoided
the phrase t'single gold standard, - and
Senator Aldrich thinks 1T would have
been more discreet on the part of the Prest-
dent to have been less specific in his ut
terances in his New York speech. Evil
IDENTIFY both. of these gentlemen think
there is strong opposition to the gold
standard which it is not safe to chal-
lenge. That may be true; but on the
other hand it is equally true that that
opposition must be challenged and fought.
II is a great mistake to suppose that Is
sues are made or changed by politicians.
Issues grow out of circumstances and
conditions over which politicians haveano
CONTROL and when they arise the only
course to pursue is to meet them. Some
times they can be held back for while,
but that does not dispose of them. Like
damned up water they acquire additional
strength and force from the temporary
repression. The politicians wanted the
tariff made the chief issue of the lasJ
campaign, but the currency took proceed
enoe in spite of all their efforts and they
had to float along with the stream or be
overwhelmed by it. Politicians of all
parties have always. been shy of the finan-
cial question. The history of 1t In Con-
gress for the past twenty years has been a
a history Of temporary expedients to keep
1t from being an issue between the parties.
But it would not down. All the conces-
sions made to the free silver propaganda
from the Bland-Allison act to the Sher-
man purchasing act have only served to
whet their appetites for more. Their de.
mand today, just as it was twenty years
ago. is for the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. and the recent vote in the Senate
shows that they propose to press it in
