BY Way of Contrast.

IF the motive were not so thoroughly
understood it would seem strange
that certain seIf-styled silver re-
publican newspapers never present a
thought or an argument calculated to
advance the cause of bimetalIism.
Their every effort seems directed to
proving that the cause is irretrievably
lost, and they divide their time not I'M
equally between falsely berating the
democratic party for it's supposed
abandonment and gushing over McKin-
ley, whose record for vacillation and
treachery upon this subject finds no
parallel in the life of any American of
national repute.
Not even Carlisle is to be excepted
from this sweeping statement, for his
shortcoming consisted merely of a COM
plete somersault, with no elements of
vacillation or deception to aggravate
the offense. Mr.. Mckinley has been the
worst enemy of the silver cause that
the country has produced, because he
has employed his assumed friendliness
to enable him to get into a position to
strike it, what the gold men hope will
be an absolutely fatal blow. 1t is also
worthy of note that when some of the
time honored leaders of the democracy
proved recreant to the cause, they were
repudiated by their party and are po-
litical outcasts to this day
In strong contrast to this action it is
interesting but not pleasant to observe
the attitude of some silver republic
ans" with reference to Mckinley
There is man who voted for free COIN
age in 1877. and boosted of it for de-
cade and half who, only five or six
years ago, was denouncing Cleveland
because of his adherence to the gold
standard, declaring that such a mon
etary system would have the effect of
making money the master and every
thing else the servant" who posed all
through the campaign of 1896 as bet
ter bimetallist than Bryan was" who,
in the perfunctory performance of a
campaign pledge sent the Wolcott COM
mission to Europe to secure a bimetallic
agreement. at the same time giving his
sanction to Secretary Cages scheme

to the gold standard; who is absolutely
controlled by the money power of Wall
street, and who will implicitly obey
every command from that quarter, not
merely upon the silver issue but upon
every other phase of the money ques-
tion,
And yet we find men here in Montana
pretending to hold silver as the para
mount issue" literally abandoning the
field of legitimate monetary discussion
and spending a large portion of their
valuable time in eulogizing Mckinley
and holding him up as a model of
craftsmanship, exalted patriotism, per-
sonal and political integrity.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

from the Brooklyn Eagle.
That is an interesting and suggestive
translation from the Brazilian Notitia
which the associated press has been
sending out. Notitia is the organ of the
president of Brazil, and it makes public
the fact that the Italians have been
writing to Buenos Ayres suggesting an
alliance between the Argentine Repub-
lie, Brazil and Chill, with as many
South American states as would come
in, to resist the aggressions of the I'm
tied States, and declaring that such an
alliance would have the support of
Italy, Germany, Austria and France.
Since the Spanish war there have been
many evidences that the nations of
Continental Europe have taken alarm
at this country as trade rival as well
as political power. This Brazilian
publication Is further evidence of the
dread from both causes. 1t specifically
states that the alliance is proposed as
an answer of Latin America to the alli-
ance which those countries imagine TO
exist already between the United States
and England. OF course, there Is not
and will not be any alliance between
this country and England, and the po-
litical Vaccinations of the Latins need
not bother us. We shall not NEEDLE
with the affairs of South America, and
it makes no difference to us politically
whether the Spanish-American repub-
lies there prepare to resist us, singly
or united.
Our commercial relations are. how
ever, another matter. Of course, we
want the trade of South America. We
shall need the markets of the world to
consume the product of the new energy
which is being enlisted in manufactur-
ing here, and the South American mar
kets are nearer and more available
than those of Europe, which we have
set out of late to capture. AS the Car
penter letters in the Eagle last year
showed. the South American markets
are now German where they are not
English. They are German because the
Germans study more carefully than we
do the habits and tastes of the people
to whom they wish to sell. That cannot
last, however. Our Cuban, Porto Rican
and Philippine connections will throw
South America more and more into our
way. Capital will seek an outlet in
South American steamship lines and 1t

General Warmers Position.

ATELY some effort has been
made in Montana to prove that
Gen. A. ]. Warner has weakened
upon the silver issue, which, it is
claimed, is another evidence of the
backdown of the democratic party.
To those who are familiar with Cen
eral Warmers record upon the ques-
ton, who know of his invaluable liter
airy contributions, as also his sacrifice
of time, money and health in the work
10 which the best years of his life have
been devoted-to all such it is quite
sufficient to characterize the charge as
a bare-faced and silly fraud without
even a shadow of foundation.
The fact that the names Of Warner
and Bryan are coupled together and
cited as evidence that the silver cause
has been abandoned by the democracy,
should in itself be sufficient proof of
the utter falsity of the claim. Still
even among those who know some
thing Of the distinguished Ohioan's
great work. there may be some who
are not aware of the fact that very re-

The State of Manhattan.

~ HE New York Herald revives the
scheme to create the state of
Manhattan out of the seven
counties of New York, Kings, Queens,
Westminster, Richmond, Suffolk and
Nassau. This would give Manhattan
population of nearly 100000, while
the state of New York would still be
left with about 100000. Manhattan
would have an area of 2,27S square
miles-almost exactly the size of Gal
latin county. Rhode Island has only
loss square miles. and Delaware has
1860
The arguments offered in favor of the
creation of the state of Manhattan are
that it would rid New York city of it's
up state tax masters; that it would
END the tyranny of rural rulers that
fastened the Raines law on the city
and took one-third of the tax; that
it would get rid of 1.-The men who in
three years have increased the valua-
ton of real estate for purposes of state
taxation A9S, 949, 021 in New York coun-
ty, and in the last twelve months have
added on sl65, 00o0 900 more in New York
county, and in the entire city $1S2, 0O0,-
000"; and that such a state government
would much nearer be representative of
the great, mixed, cosmopolitan popula-
ton that would be included within its
borders.
The plan may be practicable from the
standpoint of New York city, but it can
hardly be considered possible-not so
er. The state of Manhattan would
surely be democratic. The Platts and
Depews would find their power cur
tailed, and their patronage diminished.
The ''up state" republicans would new
er consent to the project, and not
until both branches of congress are
democratic could such a bill ever pass.
The constitution of the United States
provides that a state shall not be di-
vided except by the consent of the leg
islature and congress. There have
been few such instances. Vermont was
claimed by both New York and New
| Hampshire, and was made a state as
compromise. Maine was formerly a
part of Massachusetts,. West Virginia
was erected as a state during the war
| under abnormal circumstances. No
| other divisions have taken place, al
though Texas specifically provided
when she came into the union that she
might be dsmembered into four states.

Partisan Investigation.

investigating the Ramapo water scandal
in New York city. finds 1t has been bark
ing up the wrong tree, In its eager de-
sire to catch the Tammany leaders it
came directly upon the trail of Tom Plat
and his SON Frank, General Tracy and
Edward Lauterbach of the republican
machine. The sham character of the
whole investigation was evidenced by the
scrambling around of the committee to
avoid finding out anything which would
involve their own party bosses.

From the Boston Traveller
We believe that this turning of the
searchlight into the dark corners of mo-

and salutary movement in this country
That such an initial step has been taken
at all is a marvellous thing, considering
the power and influence of the trusts
themselves. To find such a court of in
quiry actually in existence before the
close of the 18th century is a happy omen
for the future. From its conclusions must
come the desire to investigate further.
