Will Warner, a tall, black negro with
yellowish eyes, might be all right per

fence, where it was afterward found.
The long, keen knife was found in his

made by way of defense:

1T is BREAKING OUT.

It's a long cry from the Chicago to
the St. Louis platform, wide differ
ence between independent and internal
tional bimetallism, but the Tribune has
crossed the chasm.
1t doesn't take long for a convert to
the gold standard idea to get into the
habit of sneering at those who, to the
best of their ability. maintain a con-
sistent support of silver.
This business of sneering at those
who refuse to worship the golden calf,
or subscribe to the chimerical doctrine
of international bimetallism, is the
chief stock in trade of goldbug jour-
nails; and, although it has been less
than a fortnight since the Salt Lake
Tribune repudiated the plan for indie
pendent bimetallism, it is already an
adept with the weapons Hanna's fol-
lowers have been using against Bryan
for nearly three years.
And, as if to justify its desertion of
the silver cause. our contemporary
pleads that which makes its case the
more pitiable. 1t says, in substance:
who, of all that note our going to
the goldbug camp. has yelled so loudly
for silver as we have? Who has spent
more years in teaching the people of
this section that International bimet-
allism is delusion and a snare? Who
has repeated more often that it is a
trick, and that nothing ever can come
Of it? Who has claimed to know as
much about the question? Who has
abused the eastern press more violent
Iy for surrendering to the corrupting
power of gold? Who has ridden a
hobby like this all their lives, before,
to desert it in old age? Who will be
Sir Oracle now?"
1t doesn't take long for the contagion
Of anti=silver bitterness to begin its
work. And our neighbor has certainly
been well innoculated.

they are taking up the advocacy of
what the Democratic party has con-
tended for these many years. Since Re-
publicans began to talk reciprocity
and urge its extension it has been evil
dent the leaven was at work. When
they took up the policy of trade expan-
sion and declared for the open door" of
commerce, it was an abandonment of
the old protective tariff idea as COM
plete as one might hope to see.
In the language OF our esteemed con-
temporary, the Tribune:
We have had a high tariff: we have had
a tariff for revenue with great many
protection additions. and the result all
through tor eighteen years, has been a
steady decline in prices, until debtors are
well-nigh bankrupt. and the men of small
capital that hope by their capital and by
their labor to receive fair returns, are all
well-nigh ruined. More than that a great
many thousands of the Iaborers who are
now employed are working on half time,
and beyond that are hundreds of thOus-
meantime, the clergymen who are Strug-
cling to save souls are utterly discour-
aged. Crimes are increasing in frightful
ratio. The warehouses and poorhouses
are filled with inmates. The morals of
the nation are degenerating and all the
baleful effects are being experienced
which come when a great calamity hap
pens to reduce the volume of money in
a country and to reduce prices accord
ingly.
Then what have we to hope for from
that source? Our future depends upon
the reconciliation of silver, and even
this, says the Tribune now. must come
from European countries.

The Order of Procedure.
(ChicagO RecOrd.)


In the speeches made at the so-called
anti-expansionist meeting at Central Mu-
sic hall last Sunday, and in some of those
evening in honor of Admiral Dewey and
his officers and men. there was a failure
to note one important feature or the STU
alton in the Philippines-one which should
have the controlling influence upon the
present policy of the United States TO-
ward the Philippine natives.
The question now TO be decided is purely
military in character. Since the first week
in February a state of war has existed
troops and armed bodies of EilipinOS- Our
men have finally succeeded in convincing
the natives that their attack upon our
army was a useless and costly Dlunder,
and that the only result of ii will be the
destruction of every organized force they
can put in the field.
Under these circumstances, General
Luna sends officers to ask an armistice.
When only a hopeless resistance can be
made the usage of civilized nations is
that the victor fixes the terms OF surren-
der. That is what General Otis has done.
and il is right and proper
What shall be done after the FillpinoS
have surrendered is a political question,
and there Will be time TO pass upon 1t
after the military question IS out of the
way 1t does not necessarily follow that
every man who maintains the right and
necessity of the government to put an
end to the armed resistance to our troops
in the Philippines believes in the annex
of a very large majority OF the people Of
this country seems to he iii favor of in
sisting that surrender shall precede nego-
tiatiOn.

and then the damage lawyer makes his
deal. He goes into partnership with
the client, advances the necessary costs,
and pockets the bulk of the judgment.
One year ago an attorney by the
name of Samuel Evans Mares was dis
barred at Philadelphia. Judge Arnold,
who pronounced the judgment, ex-
pressed the sentiments every honest
man in the profession must feel, when
he said:
Either way we look upon his dealing.
as Il champertor, barretor or dishonest
partner. we find no mitigation whatever,
no excuse for his conduct.
The cases brought to our attention
have given positive proof OF that which
is frequently heard In ordinary CONVEX

it business to hunt up litigation and
take cases upon speculation, with the

This abuse has grown with the prac-
tice in police courts in some cities,
where shysters flock to fleece the
wretched, and where the machinery of
the court is used in many ways to ex-
tort fees for the pretended services of
alleged lawyers and other officers of
the court
One of the greatest injuries resulting
from the trade of these legal specu-
lators is to reputable members of the
profession and to honest clients. For it
must not be implied that reputable at
torneys never bring suits for damages.
1t is thus that many grave wrongs are
righted, and in prosecuting such actions
for the poor and deserving the chivalry
of the profession is shown. But they
do not sue on champertous agreements.
