THROWS OFF THE MASK.
The Republican Party Now Openly Advo.
Gates Making All Government ObIiga-
tiOns Payable In Gold Only.

1t will therefore be the imperative duty of the
next congress to declare that all the obligations
of the government are redeemable in gold on
demand-thuS making the gold standard definite
and absolute. This is not only important in the
interest of the public credit. but as safeguard
against the possibility of the election of a free
silver candidate for the presidency next year.
However small the chance may be of the cleo
tion of man opposed to the gold standard il
is none the less apparent that every judicious
precaution should be taken to countervail anv
possible action hostile to the existing monetary
StatuS.-Omaha Bee.
If the republicans had talked like
this three years ago, how many states
would they have carried? If the Bee
had published this article last year
how many republican congressman and
state legislators would have been elect
ed in Nebraska? 1t is considered no
longer necessary to tell the old lies
about international bimetallism. 1t is
no longer necessary to conduct a cam
palgn by false pretenses. They stole
congress by lying promises and now
they are going to use 1t for the expIoita-
tion of the people. The above article
amounts to an admission that the sill
yer men will get into power next year
and therefore it calls on congress to act
at once as it will probably be the last
opportunity it will have to rivet pluto
cratic claims upon the people. Just
witness how the people have been
robbed by virtue of this kind of legisla-
ton. The original government debt
was contracted when gold was at a pre-
MUM of over 100 per cent and was
made payable in greenbacks, the only
money then in general circulation,
then the payment was changed to gold
and silver coin. Now silver is elimi-
mated and the whole debt is made
payable in gold alone. Every change
has been in the interest of plutocracy
and every time the people have been
mercilessly robbed. Now, for fear the
people will assert their rights at the
next election, this organ of the blood
suckers calls upon congress to act and
act quickly. But if the law has been
changed a dozen times in the interest
of the money changers, cannot it be
changed once in the interest of the
people? If the contract for payment
has been altered to benefit the rich,
cannot it also be altered to benefit the
poor? If the people ever again come
into power they will find some way to
save themselves from the hands of the
oppressor, and it win make no differ
ence how many unjust laws may be
previously passed. d.-Nonconformist.

SENATOR STEWART, of Nevada, does
not expect the senate to adopt any re
port by the American delegates to Th
Hague peace meeting that conten
plates curtailing the senate's constitu-
tional prerogatives. Talking about
the pending proposition for perma-
nent board of international mediation
he declared that it looked to him like
another effort to dispense with the
senate. That" said Mr.. Stewart,
''was the reason why the arbitration
treaty was defeated. President Cleve-

AT the cabinet meeting on the 9th a
plan was discussed for the enlistment
of several skeleton regiments in Ma
Mia from among the volunteers who
desire to remain in the service and the
subsequent filing of these regiments
with recruits enlisted in this country.
Gen. Otis, according to the plan, will
be given the authority to select the
officers of these regiments from the vol
unteer officers who are to be mustered
out. The plan, which the members
commended, would form a nucleus of
veteran officers and men, seasoned to
the climate and familiar with the work
to be done.

He was never at any time in serious
danger, and after the size-up in the
early rounds of the contest took the
lead. He had the Australian whipped
from the ninth round.
Jeffries fought from crouching at
titude that was hard to get at. He
held his head low, his back was bent
down and his left arm extended. He
kept jabbing away with the left and
found no trouble in landing it. 1t was
there that his superior reach told. That
giant arm served as sort of human
fender to ward off danger.

A PRIVATE letter recently received by

guished Cuban says: THE latest story
from Cuba, which l have every reason
to believe, is that the former revo-

outward appearances, accept American
