STICK TO THE OLD ISSUES.
Democrats Will Make Their Fight
In 1000 on the Chicago Plat
form of 1896.


There appears to be a quite general
feeling that the free and independent
coinage of silver by the United States
at the ratio of sixteen to one will not
be leading issue in the next presi-
Dental campaign. There are indica-
tions that conservative democrats are
anxious to delegate silver to the rear
or TO leave the ratio to a democratic
congress to determine. In Pcnnsyl
vania the democratic state convention
ignored the silver issue in favor of
state issues. In New York effoI is are
being made by those who have been
party leaders to induce the state con-
vention to ignore the issue in the plat
form this year. There is n decided if
silent element in all the central west
ern states which would have the party
enter the next presidential campaign
untrammeled by the siXteen-to-oned de-
mand of the owners of silver mines.
But with all the opposition to free
coinage at the old ratio and the very
general falling off of interest on the
part of the people in the question,
present indications point to the max
ing of silver coinage at the ratio of
sixteen to one a prominent issue in the
next campaign by the democrats.
Most of the democratic state conven-
tions have declared for the whole plat
form of Chicago and have indorsed Col.
Bryan as the democratic statesman to
be standard bearer second time.
The ultra silver element is in control
of the party machinery in all the
states. In Illinois it was given out.
after the democratic state convention,
that Mayor Harrison. moderate sill
verlte. had control of the state com
mttee, but when the committee was
organized eX-Gov. Altgeld was found
to be in control as the most rabid
champion of the silver platform. Ex-
Gov. Stone, of Mississippi, has made a
pilgrimage to New York to inform the
democratic leaders in that state that
they will not be recognized as belong
ing to the national democratic party
unless they indorse the Chicago plat
form.
There is every reason why the promi-
nent leaders in the silver movement of
1896 should make a desperate effort
to make silver the most prominent
issue of 1900. They caused their party
to change front on the coinage ques-
tion. Thus they became the leaders
of a new democratic party. To sweep
back 10 the old party moorings and
again become the champion of II
change of coinage ratio as it was
when il changed the ratio from fifteen
to one to sixteen to one, would GER
tainly discount the leaders of 1896, and
that is the thing they fear and which
they will fight. If for no other reason
the Bryan leaders will make as much
of the silver mine owners demand dur
ing this campaign as they can, and if
they seem to gain by it in the fall cleo
tions they will be eager for IL in 1900.
The public welfare is of no account to

BUILDERS OF THE NAVY.
4 RepubIican Congress Entitled to
the Credit of Creating Dewey
and Schley's Ships.

In various parts of the country there
is very commendable disposition on
the part of our democratic bre thren to
claim the honor of having fathered the
present navy. They have so few things
to point to with pride there is no Won
der that they should wish to claim the
credit for the creation of the ships
which brought immortal glory to Dew
ey and Schley. But are their claims
well founded, or are they talking
through their hats? Let us see.
Fifteen years ago congress, repub-
lican in both branches, and repub-
lican president took steps to build the
cruisers Chicago, Boston and Atlanta,
and at the same time added new ma
chinery to the old monitors Monad-
mock, Terror and Puritan. That was
the beginning of the present navy.
1t may be said to the credit of Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Whitney that they
carried on the good work in most
ccmmendabIe way, but they were not
the originators of the idea, by any
means; and, further than this. an ex-
animation of the records will show
that larger proportion of republic
ans than democrats have supported all
steps looking to the extension of our
naval power. Most of the champions
for big navy have been republicans;
most of the opponents have been dem
Ocrats.
1t looks as though our democratic
friends would have to go into another
field to find something to which they
can point with pride.-Cincinnat Com

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Hundreds of Gold Hunters Stalled on the
Ashcroft Trail-An English Nobieman
Murdered,

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 26-Brind-
ley Mills and L. &. Grant, two mem
bers of the Montreal Klondikc syndi-
cate, arrived here Sunday after spend
ing four months in trying TO get
through to the gold country over the
Ashcroft trail. At Quesnelle they met
Sir Arthur Curtis, an English baron,
and his party and also ran across
them at Mud river. where Sir Arthur
mysteriously disappeared and was
never seen by a white man again.
Mr.. Mills said they joined in the
search with Indians for the body and
that they are confident that the lat
ter not only knew all about the
nobleman's death, but where the
body might be found. They want
900 reward for bringing it out of
the woods. The unfortunate noble
man, Mills believes. met with foul
play. Mills and his party We're
lost four days without food 100 miles
from Telegraph creek. On one occa-
sion they took the advice of a treacher-
Gus Indian guide and went 80 miles
out of their way. They describe the
experience as terrible. They declare
that the route is a fraud and that
hundreds of poor fellows are in dam
ger of starvation on it now. They are
stalled 80 and 100 miles apart. with
out provisions and without hope.

Dyspepsia is one of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
it in a more OF less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects, on
human life and happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toning up of the entire system. For
