REPUBLICAN GAINS.
Strength Nearly Doubled In the Min
Ing States Within the Last
Two Years.

The mining group of states is usually
made to incude Colorado, Nevada, Utah,
Montana and Idaho. Colorado, Nevada
and Utah are silver states, Montana eX-
ceeds all others in the product of cop
per, and Idaho ranks second among the
states in the product of lead. The re-
lation of minerals to one another under
modern methods of mining is such that
the production of one metal goes hand
in hand necessarily with that of anoth-
cr, and as consequence both Idaho
and Montana have large silver prod
ucts. All five of these states in the St.
Louis republican convention of 1896
were favorable to the consideration of a
silver plank in Difference to their local
interests, and in them there was a
formidab BILE revolt of the silver repub-
licans, as they call themselves. In that
convention the votes of these five states
were cast solidly against the platform
adopted, and on the balloting for pres
ident the Colorado delegates, the Idaho
delegates and some of the Nevada,
Utah and Montana delegates refused to
participate, withdrawing to take part
in the silver republican convention,
which indorsed the nomination. of Bry-
an and Sewall. In rhe election succeed
ing Bryan carried Colorado by 135,O 600
majority; Idaho by $1,000 in total
vote of less than 10000; Nevada by $500
in a total vote of 10000; Montana by
80 600 in total vote of SO 1000, and Utah
by a plurality of $1,000 in a total of
$4,000.
These five states, under such cOnGi-
tions, did not furnish a very encourag-
ing outlook for the republican party at
succeeding elections, the first detection
of populists from the republicans hav-
ing been followed by subsequent and
larger detection of republicans to the
silver republican party, the votes Of
which made possible the large majori-
ties. in the presidential election of 1896.
Though without influence upon the re-
suit of the presidential election of 1896,
these five states have ten of the United
States senator's, besides six representa-
tives in congress in the lower house.
The obstacles to republican success in
them seemed two years ago to be al
most nsurmountable, but the republic
ans, adhering to a determination to re-
gain the ground which they had lost,
set themselves about the task of re-
storing their broken column by recov-
ering former supporters or gaining
new recruits. In Colorado there was,
in 1897, an election for judicial office
only. h Idaho there was no contest.
In Montana there was no election in
1897; neither was there one in Nevada
or Utah. The republicans had therefore
two years to recover lost ground, and
how we'll they did it is to be seen in the
following table of votes in these five
states, comparing the republican vote
in each in the presidential election
with that cast for the republican can

y gain from $4,000 to 10000 is very
nearly, though not quite, 100 per cent.
in two years. When this gain is con-
sidered in connection with the fact that
the election of 1896 was a presidential
contest. at which a full vote was polled.
and that the election of 1898 was
state contest, at which congressman
were the only federal officers voted
for, it will be seen that the republican
vote was even more important than it
seems otherwise, and shows a diligent
determination of the republican lead
ers in these five states, whose forces
suffered most severely from the silver
craze" to put themselves in line with
their party associates before the next
national presidential election, and in
advance of the next republican national
convention; and they have done so in
what may be called great style.-N. y.

SENATOR GRAY ON M'KINLEY.
A Handsome Tribute to the President
from Democratic
Stntesman.

Some democrats have sneered at
and reyiled the president. They have
not been as bitter and malignant, how
ever, as the mugwumps. They declare
of Mckinley that there is no good in
him" Some of them call him feeble"
a "pliant instrument" in the hands of
bolder men. Others charge him with
pursuing knowingly and voluntarily
course fatal to the liberties of the re-
public" When any republican defends
the president they call him a time
server, a fatterer who hopes TO be re-
warded. In pleasing contrast to all
this abuse is the statement concerning
the president made by Senator Gray in
his remarks at Wilmington a few days
ago. lie was one of the commissioners
who negotiated the treaty of Paris.
That brought him into close relations
with the president. As a result of his
intimate knowledge of the man he says:
II belong to a different political party, but
! should be false to my sense of justice and
to that pride which feel as an American If
/ did not declare my confidence in the patri-
otism and purity of purpose of William Nc
Kinley. He is no usurper of power, no
stranger to American institutions, but one
of the American people, called to his high
Office by their suffrages, and it would be
strange indeed if he did not share to the
fullest extent in the love of our constitution
and the principles that underlie it."
This is handsomely said. 1t is true
When the dust and smoke of the pres.
ent conflict over the Philippines have
cleared away and that question has
ceased to be lin politics" nearly all
men viii admit cheerfully the caution,
wisdom and prudence displayed by the
president in dealing with the issues
arising out of the war with Spain. He
has moved too slowly to please some
at the time. He has moved too rapidly
to please those who did not want him
to move at all. The final verdict will
be that he advanced thoughtfullv and
iudiciousIy. keeping even pace with the
wishes of the people, waiting only to
learn their will and then executing il
when he found out what it was-Chi-

repeated observations alike by mariners and scientific men have shown the inef- hciency of the new light, even of the most powerful description. and in q lighthouse of the first order, though this IS admitted, may be due in part to the fact that rays of high refrangibility such as are emitted by the light in ques- ton, are more largely absorbed by a fog than rays of lower refrangibility that are emitted by oil or gas.

The Single Tax.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Apropos of your editorial in Satur- days issue, entitled Michigan Tax Commission the following facts should be of interest even to the most apathetic. Just two months ago the Single Taxers of Michigan succeeded in getting q local option bill through the senate and lost it in the house by only one vote.
 Senator Ward, introducing this bill, said, Stated broadly, MT. Chairman, we propose in this measure to permit the people of incorporated cities to meet their public charges out of fund which is created by the presence in those cities of the people who make public charges necessary"
 It is needelss to say that had this bill passed the vexed question of how to collect revenue for public expenses would have been solved as far as Mich 'igan is concerned. It would also have been grand example for every other State to follow, when they saw the iuss tice of it. n
 But our astute legislators were not quite ready for justice, and Michigan will go on in her old way for another term, permitting robbery under the form of law" Just how this is to be accomplished is clearly shown in your editorial. Refusing to collect the reve- nues from the natural source, these leg islators start out with an amount of un- wisdom simply appalling, to collect them from an unnatural one, viz, from indus try, and so still further cripple the pro- ducers of wealth. TO carry out their programme the stocks of grocers dry good and hardware dealers, as well as all other stores must be valued. Man ufacturing concerns must be taxed for their machinery as well as on amount of business. Newspaper offices must be in- yaded, and it will not be sufficient to
