of creduhty to believe that the tariff
has produced any considerable part of
the change here.
But let that all go. The next step
with these silver deserters is to at
tack Mr.. Bryans argument in favor of
bimetallism based upon the quantita-
tive theory of money. They tell us
that he should have maintained that
free coinage is fundamentally right
without regard to the value of money
and thus have escaped the setback we
have received through the increased
production of gold. What world CT
profundity is there.
What is coinage for except to affect
the supply of money? If that were not
the purpose even the coinage of gold
would not be continued for a single
day. Take out the 'quantitative" ar
sument and the silver men have not
square inch of ground to stand upon.
What is more they could not carry
state in the Union excepting two or
three directly and heavily interested in
silver mining. What effect would it
him that silver coinage is fundamen-
tally right and stop there? Would
he not instantly want to know how it
was going to raise the prices of his
products? And how could he be an
swered except by showing him that it
would increase the quantity of money?
Mr.. Bryan was right, and those who
question the quantitative theory are
simply putting themselves on the
ground occupied by the sold men who
have always denied that theory. The
increased production of gold has, in a
measure, eased up the situation, thus
proving the correctness Of Mr.. Bryan's
contention. When people are SO anx-
ious to get back into the republican
camp that they are willing to give Nc
kinley credit that properly belongs to
God they present a spectacle that at
once suggests the impossiblity of po-
litical degeneracy going any farther.

1t Won't Work.

"a UBL1c opinion in this country
~ may be trusted to deal in far
ness with every man who figures
On public life. Officialdom has been
doing all that in it's power lies to man
ufacture sentiment friendly to Admiral
Sampson and hostile to Admiral Schley.
1t is vain exploit; it will not result in
good for Sampson; it will, indeed, harm
him. You cannot coerce public opinion
or make it serve an artificial purpose.
On this score recent experience is in
evidence. In the Dewey demonstra-
tons, Schley was a pronounced favor
ite, and everybody knows that the en-
thusiasm among the masses with which
he was everywhere greeted could not
possibly have been a dishonest express
sion or an outburst which any outside
agency could start or stimulate. In the
same way at Minneapolis, last Thurs
day, Secretary Longs attempt to get in
lick for Sampson proved abortiVe.
The audience packed in front of the eX
position building in that city was en-
thusiastic, patriotic, good tempered.

the president and it hailed with hur-
rahs every reference to the nations
greatness. Secretary Long fancied that
he could do a little partisan administra-
ton business, so he remarked: Il re-
call the fall of Santiago before the guns
of Sampson"-and the crowd wouldn't
have it. AT this point" says the press
dispatch. hundreds of voices in the
crowd interrupted the secretary's re-
marks with shouts of 'Schley, Schley,
Schley.'' With this protest thrust down
his throat, Secretary Long sought ref
uge in the lame words: MY friends,
there is glory enough for all''-and Ad-
1niral Schley himself is the author of
that laconic phrase; he was generous
enough, in the first place, to make that
manly proposition.
The upshot of all this conniving in
official circles will be that Sampson
himself will get much the worst of it.
The American people delight in accord
ing to him a liberal share in credit due
but the public will not consent that
Sampsonism shall be rubbed in. If the
official clique persists, presently We
shall find Sampson made the butt Of
press and pictorial ridicule. Then in
deed it will be all up with him; he will
victim of fool friends.

CONVENTIONS THAT ARE MADE
IN BEHALF OF ENGLAND
From the Chicago Times Herald.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Such a case as the Rev. W. j. Knox Lit
tie makes out against the Beers in his re-
cent work on South Africa shows that
the present contention is not a new mat
ter or one which has arisen since the dis
covery Of gold in the witwatersrand. So
far from suzerainty being now asserted
for the first time. it has never been laid
down, and there is no time i'll the his

eminent from the date of their wholesale
immigration in 1886. and the fact remains
that President Kruger and all those sur
viving from the older stock We're born
British subjects and have never had their
allegiance surrendered back to them.
In 1888. two years after the Grand Trek,
the Beers beyond the Eaal were in trou-
bic with the fierce and war-loving Iulus.
Sir George Napier, governor of the Cape
Colony at that time. assumed that the
Beers were British subjects as matter
of course, and sent British troops to
bring about a peace. which was soon
after effected. At that time the Trekkers
We're in sore straits. and had England
left them to their fate there would have

Place of the Skull, and again at Weenen,

the Buffalo river. There was no doubt
about British sovereignty at that time.
1t was not long after that a British resi-

expression of government. When, in 1S4s,

Harry Smith acted Immediately. With a

I ings between Potgieter and Pretorius,
and it is hardly to be said even now that
there is that maintenance of public order
and administration Of impartial justice
which are the essentials of settled rule.
In 1857 the son of the old Pretorius. then
acting as president of the republic, in
vaded the Orange Free State. He retired
without firing a shot, however, and IN
the year 1859 the two countries were uni
ted under his leadership. From that time
on for many years the force of the Beers
was used alternately in fighting with
Cetawayo, the Zulu king, and in wrang-
ling over doctrinal religious questions at
home. When Pretorious proclaimed the
boundaries of the Transvaal to extend as
far as Lake Ngami he was forced to
withdraw his proclamation by the British,
but not until the great explorer, Living
stone, whom the Beers hated, had been
attacked by them at Kolsberg and all he
owned in the world put to fire
The state of civilization in the Trans
vaal was shown later. A boundary dis
pute having arisen between the Orange
Free State and the South African Repub-
lie, it was referred to Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Keate for adjudication. He decided
the first question of the sort in favor of
the Transvaal and the Free State accepted
the decision without question. Later, a
similar controversy having arisen. and
Keate having decided against the Trans
vaal, his award was deliberately repu-
dated. 1t was soon after this in 1872, that
the war with the native king, Secocoeni,
arose, and the Beers were defeated. On
their southeastern frontier. too, the
Zulus were demonstrating. The ill-govern-
ed and badly armed republic saw destruc-
ton staring it in the face. In this emer-
gency the aid of the British was earnestly
besought. Sir Taeophilus Shepstone, as
special commissioner. came at the peo-
pies cry. And with the appreciation of a
great majority of the population of the
Transvaal annexation was formally made
of Its territories to those Of the English
crown in South Africa
The British found the country defense
less against powerful foe, without mon
ey in its treasury or other proper means
for preservation. 1t kept the descendants
of the Trekkers from the assegais of the
