MIR. BRYAN,s GREATEST SPEECH.

Mr.. Bryan has made many patriotic
speeches, many speeches that breathed
nothing but the purest Americanism,
but Mr.. Bryan never made a more pa
triotic speech, speech breathing more
of the Hottest and noblest Anericanism
than he did at Omaha yesterday.
His theme was the war, and he ham
died it in most mastery manner. It
showed his appreciation of what war
is to be perfect. What he had to say of
the governments efforts to bring about
a peaceable solution of the Cuban ques
ton through diplomacy will meet
with universal approval. But what he
said about the motives that prompted
the war and the principles that were
invoked, and how if the war should de-
generate into one OF conquest we shall
find it difficult to deny the charge of
having added hypocrisy to greed,
should give us pause.
rs our national character so weak"
asked Mr.. Bryan, that we cannot
stand the temptation to appropriate the
first piece of land that comes within
our reach?" Cod forbid!
Mr.. Bryan, in this time of forgetful-
ness, remembers and announces that
governments derive their just powers
not from superior force, but from the
consent of the governed.
Shall we abandon just resistance
to European encroachment upon the
western hemisphere, in order to min
gle in the controversies of Europe and
Asia?" asks Mr.. Bryan. God forbid
There is not word in all his speech
but that deserves to be craven upon
the hearts of the American people; not
a word but breathes the spirit of the
declaration of independence. of the
farewell address, of Monroe's epoch
making message. OF Lincolns Gettys-
burg speech.
Grand and noble American that he is,
William J. Bryan was a grander, nobler
American yesterday than ever before.

all that is best in our Institutions

THE HEARST FREE LIBRARY.

Three years ago Mrs Phoebe Hearst,
widow of the late Senator George
Hearst, gave to the city of Anaconda a
free library. The gift was noble one,
but the library was housed in tempo
rary quarters. Mrs. Hearst has how
supplemented that gift with a library
building. 1t is a beautiful structure,
the architecture noble and simple To
Anaconda it will ever be a source of
architectural pride; to the memory of
Senator Hearst it will ever be fitting
tribute. To the Anaconda he owed
much of his large fortune and his
widow recognizes this in a most gra-
cious and princely manner.
What were the ambitions and ideals
of Senator Hearst's soul is made evil
dent to all by the work that Mrs.
Hearst is now doing. It was his for
tune to have accumulated the means
for realizing them. In his wife he had
one who was in complete sympathy
with him in all things, and who is
making real the dreams of long life.
Truly is she a noble woman and nobly

A DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFF
FERENCE.

The modification, by the conference
committee, of the Wolcott amendment
whereby the coinage of the seigniorage
was reduced from $4,000,000 a month to
81, 800, 600, was in reality triumph for
the gold men, for the reason that it
does not materially, if at all, increase
the coinage of silver dollars from what
ii now is and has been per month for
two years or more past. So long as
the treasury holds millions and millions
of dollars worth of silver bullion, it
makes no difference whatever whether
the coinage is of the seigniorage or the
purchased bullion; if there were no un-
coined purchased bullion, the require
rnent of the war revenue law that the
seigniorage be coined, would be i'm
portant.
The New York Herald very bitterly
says that "the silver senators have ex-
torted a price for permitting the war
revenue measure to go through, but it
is a considerably smaller one than they
had hoped to exact. Every time revenue
or currency legislation is needed, these
gentlemen present their pistol at the
heads of the people with the demand
that they shall do something for sill
ver'-something which shall to great
err or less degree initiate the circulating
medium and weaken its basis. This
time, thanks to the determined attitude
of the house conferees and the exhi-
Ibition of temper by the public, we have
got off pretty cheaply. The compro-
u
bullion now in the treasury at the rate
of S1.500.000 a month and the issue of
circulating notes against the seignior-
age
Mr.. Vanderlip, the assistant secretary
of the treasury, doesn't take that view
at all. He says that he cannot see
that any effect worthy of consideration
would be experienced, provided that no
more than the minimum amount of
$1,500,000 month, required by the law,
should be coined; that under the opera
tio0D O. the treasury, in the natural

course thereof, a gradual coinage of
this bullion has been steadily going on
as the treasury notes issued
for the purchase of the bull
lion were redeemed and can
celed. Thus, in the calendar year 1887
the coinage from the bullion aggregat-
ed $12,651,731, and the seigniorage COW
cred into the treasury on account of
this bullion coinage amounted to s3,4S5,-
coo.
There was not much coinage OF silver
after the repeal of the purchase clause
of the Sherman act of July ii, 1890 (the
repeal taking place November l, 1889.
until February, 1896; since then it has
been almost as much per month as is
required by the; modified Wolcott
amendment. The coinage has been as
