ON THE SAME LINES.
Teller and Shaforth Give Their Views .
to the Next Campaign.

DENVER. April 2o.-United States Sen
ator Henry NJ. Teller. and Congressman
John NJ. Shafroth. III published state
ments, emphatically declare in favor OF
maintaining the Silver Republican or.
ganization. not only in Colorado, but
throughout the union. They say that
the silver question will be the para.
mount issue in 1900.
Mr.. Teller says that the Gold Demo
Gratis will not be able to control the
Democratic convention, and that. as in
1896. they will support the Republican
candidate. He says that the Demo.
cratic convention will reaffirm the plat
form of 1896. and that the party must
and will be allied with the Silver Re-
publican party a nd the Peoples party.
both of which III ust maintain their or
ganizations and lie nd all their aid to win
a victory in the battle of 1900.
IL cannot conceive of a political sit
uation that will induce ME to favor a
union with the Mckinley Republicans.
said Senator Teller. The Republican
financial system is one fraught with
danger 10 TIE country anu one We'll Cal
culared to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer. The Republican party
favors large standing army in time of
peace. Of not less than 100000 men, at
an expense Of not less than $l25.OOO. .00o
to $3.50. 600. 600 per annum. It is its pur-
pose also to increase this army in pro
portion as the population of the country
shall increase.

lieve that the continued administration

Mr.. Teller expresses no preference rs
to candidates. but Mr.. Shafroth sug-
gests the nomination of Bryan and
Towne. He says there is Il complete
Silver Republican organization in 81
states, and that at least that number
will be represented in the national con-

The annual report of the operations of
the United States Life Savings Station

work it appears that there are 24 stations
embraced in the life saving establishment,
1872 being on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts;
IS on the coasts of the great lakes, 10 on
the Pacific coast and one at the falls of
the Ohio River at Louisville, KY. OF the
1872 on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, AZ are
on the New Jersey coast. Although one
of the smallest of the coasts along the
Atlantic sea shore in point of miles,
New Jersey, know in official circles as
the Fourth District, has the largest num-
Der of stations of any other district. Dur
ing the year there were 70 disasters along
the Jersey coast and the value of the
vessels imperilled was SAG ,055. The cargoes
destroyed were estimated to be worth
$780,. Although on these wrecked yes
sells there were 295 persons, only one life
was lost. The life saving crew also saved

Oh. yes; there are many others VINO
might be mentioned. There is Colonel
John J.. Toffey, for instance, who would
no doubt take anything from the leader
ship down to another shrievalty nominal
ton. Then there is Mr.. Joseph A. Dear,
whose mastery management as boss of
the Board of Trade certainly entities him
to consideration. Young Mr.. Higgins has
not been in evidence much of late, but no
doubt he is somewhere around the county
and would consent to come to the front
at the call of his party.

able patriotic display.
The Grand Army posts are in harmony
with the Committee in charge of the
monument, and the city officials are
ready to cooperate. The public interest
is warmly aroused, and, of course, the
soldier boys who have just lone their part
in the cause of. the nation. will be eager
to honor their forerunners, as they will
expect another generation to honor them.
The celebration comes at a. good time.
The stirring sentiments of the late war
are still vivid in ~everyone's heart, and at
the same time we feel the joy of victory
ard the serenity of renewed peace. No

who fought and died in order that the
country, through its unity, might develop
its present strength and majesty among

It would be almost an impertinence to
appeal to the people of Jersey City to do
honor to the coming event. We are con-
dident hat urgency is entirely unneces-
sary. They will, by their number and en-
thusiasm. make the demonstration worthy

Bryan's New Craze.

The little handful of silver Democrats
In this vicinity perhaps are not aware
that the great apostle Of the political
tenets to which they cling has been
among them.
1t is said that during the epidemic of
Jeffersonian dinners in New York, recent
". Colonel William J. Bryan had a con-
sultation with one, Who during the cam
paign of 1896 was perhaps the most ag-
gressfve champion the silver cause had
in this State. The object of the con-
sultation. 1t is said, was to consider the
attitude of New Jerseys Democracy in
the next National campaign.
Colonel Bryan, it is understood, was not,
Ia this conference so enthusiastic over
silver as an issue, as he vas over making
"anti-trusts'' the watch word of the
next fight. Although he said nothing
which could, be construed into the direct
abandonment of the silver craze, he is re-
ported to have said that the next great
fight for the people must be made against
the great capita1istic combinations.
In no State in the country, he thought,
should this fight be more energetically
carried on thar in New Jersey, which he
designated as the .home of trusts" There
these great combinations of capital and
greed against the poor laboring mar and
small property owners were born and
nurtured by favorable laws, to the great
scandal of the commemorative good
name. 1t was therefore necessary to
make the big fight in this State since
the only way to eradicate the evils
was by getting at the roots and tearing
them out.
The gentleman with whom Mr.. Bryan
consulted listened attentively to what he
said and vas inclined to be governed by
his suggestions. 1t would not be sur
prising therefore. If before long an at
tempt Is made to get a number Of repre-
sentative Jersey Democrats together ts
