Victory IN 1900.

United effort on the part of all
those opposed to the gold clique will
result 10 a victory for bimetallism.
There is but one question of para
mount Importance before the people
of the United States. There are many
questions of secondary Importance,
but the money question is of the first
Importance, and upon that common
matter of agreement all factions Of
all parties opposed to the single gold
standard can unite.
In discussing the proposed union of
all tile gold clique opponents. the
famous Scion Chase of Maine, leader
of the New England greenbaekers,
says:
1.-THE gold democrats can 40 more
dictate the policy of the democratic
party than the pro-slavery wings
could the republican party. Although
the democratic party is not free from
sin, it has redeemed itself by casting
out devils, and therein lies its
strength.
After twenty-five years, agitation
on the money question, it has now
reached a point where the people de-
mand settlement of the problem.
Silver must be recognized as a CON-
petitor of gold on the basis of 16 to 1.
The issue cannot be lodged or side
tracked apy more than the slavery
question could.
1.-The republicans did not elect
Fremont, but, without changing
their platform, they elected Abraham
Lincoln. We did not elect Bryan in
1896, but we will in 1900 on the plat
form of 1896. A union of all parties
opposed to the gold standard should
be effective
There is wisdom in this, backed by
the evidence of history. Ere mont'e
defeat paved the way for Lincoln'l
success, and, in like manner, the dem
ocratic defeat of 1896 paved the way
for democratic victory in 1900.
Everything points to democratic
success. The house can hardly fail tt
be anti-republican after next falr'
elections. The senate is now safely
on the side of nimetallism. The figh
is going to be conducted in the open
Republican hypocrisy and duplicity
have been exposed, and the battle
will be for gold recommendation or fol
binetallism, and in such a fight the
majority will be with the bimetal
lists. Chicago Dispatch.

In the bred Scott case it was held
that "the negro had no rights that
white men are bound to respect" In
1860 the American people, in the cleo
ton of Abraham Lincoln, reversed
that decision and established its OF

of sheriff Martin and his deputies for
shooting down score or more OF
laboring men marching along the

Thieves in Society.

What dreadfully wicked world we

not-nay, should not--be taken as an
example, Us it necessarily contains
strange elements to make up the abb
stract mass; but the time is coming,
says Washington correspondence when
hostesses will have to employ detect
Ives us waiting maids and buffers. No
wonder Washington leaders are scared
and seek protection from social hordes,
if this latest story of pilfering is true.
One of the best known women in the
diplomatic circle once said that she
took good care to remove all small val
uables from her rooms whenever she
opened her house for receptions, for
anything portable or concealable might
be carried off! At that time her infer
ence was deemed most ungenerous, and
guests at her house declared they would
boycott any woman who made such
sweeping charges of dishonesty; but
times have changed, and many of the
lesser sins no longer surprise these
virtuous defenders of society. They
have had experience themselves. One
would surmise from recent reports
that women were natural-born thieves
and yielded to temptation more quickly
than the other sex; yet, even with Lady
Tatton Sykes accused of forgeries by a
half-crazy husband and kleptomaniacs

The Caroline Islands question was not
considered.
The joint commission adjourned until
Saturday.
Today's session was repetition virtually
of several earlier meetings. When, after
two hours discussion taking a wide range,
the Spaniards were pressed for definite
statements, they pleaded that they had not
received instructions from Madrid. There
upon the Americans declared in diplomatic
phraseology. that it was useless to waste
time in debate with men who were not en-
powered to make bargains. Although ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow, it
is probable there will be further post
ponement until Monday.
The Spaniards version of todays session
is that they asked to have the treaty con-
cluded first, and then the minor matters
discussed. According to reports from Amer
ican sources, the Spanish commissioners
endeavored to draw hints as to how far
the Americans were willing to compromise
the demands under discussion without d s.

to make. As the negotiations proceed the

HAD BEEN REPORTED LOST

HAD BEEN REPORTED LOST

Newport News, Va, December 2.-Several
vessels which suffered more or less severe
ly from the recent storm arrived in port to-
day. Among them is the Atlantic Trans
portation company's barge, Enos Soule,
which has been reported as lost with all
on board. The Soule was towed in this af-
ternoon by the British tram Elon. She was
picked up yesterday $50 miles north of Cape
Henry. The barge was bound from New
port News for Boston, in tow of the steam
ship Orion, with a cargo of coal. The tow
had to be cut Sunday afternoon near Win
ter Juarter light on account of the storm.
She dropped anchor, but soon lost 1t with
ninety fathoms of chain. The barge drift
ed out to sea, and for four days was at the
mercy of the wind and waves. Several
times the men almost abandoned hope.
Pumphouse, spanker, jib and 'foresail were
carried away, and it seemed that the ves-
sci could not weather the gale. The storm
subsidized Thursday morning, and soon af-
terward the soule was picked up by the
British tram, which towed her into
Hampton Roads today. The British steam
er Gladiolus, which left Alamo Sicily, on
October 80 for New York, arrived here this
d
during the storm. All Wednesday morning
the sea was so high that waves went clear
over her runners. The crew say that If the
vessels matches had not been battered
down tight and her tarpaulins had not all
been new she would have foundered. All
day Wednesday the Gladiolus attempted to
continue her course under a full head of
steam. but when night came. instead of
gaining, she had lost seventy miles. She
lost one of her large boats and other NOV
able articles.
The whale-back steamer, City of Everett,
which left Boston Tuesday for this port,
was blown 14O miles out of her course by
Wednesdays storm, but weathered the gale
in good shape.
Several other vessels which arrived here
last night and today report hard experi-
ences.

New York Machine Was Responsible
For Democracy's Defeat.

Chicago, December 2.-Governor-elec
Thomas, of Colorado, who has been in the
city. for the past two days on his way to
New York and Washington was somewhat
reticent as to the object Of his eastern trip.
However, when asked concerning a possible
union of the western factions of democ-
racy, he was emphatic in denying his inter-
est in any such effort. Croker and Tam
many in the east, in his opinion, were the
cause Of the recent defeat of the demo-
Gratis.
I'VE feel he said, ''that so far as the
national democracy is concerned, its prin-
ciples can only be subserved by a negation
of the things for which Tammany stands,
and we feel that the cause of democracy's
decadence since 1892 has been due to the
confusion created by attempted blending of
thes so-called Tammany democracy with
the national democracy. The Chicago plat
form in its proper shape represents what
the west regards as orthodox democracy.
The convention of 1896 has done more to re-
gain the confidence of the common people
In the democratic party and its purposes
and motives than anything that has been
done by that party since the rebellion. The

that the justices would render justice to
the rich and poor alike.
The proceedings terminated with hand
shaking. The first session of this
purely Cuban court was then opened.
Among the Cubans the event is a matter
for general congratulation. The local news
papers consider it the dawn of new era,
