Nobody Interested in Silver"

~ late we hear very much about
~ the waning interest in the sill
Yer cause. Time and again we
have been told that nobody is thinking
or talking about silver except a few pol
iticians such as Bryan, Teller Towne,
and others.
1t is not an easy matter to see upon
what this opinion is based. True, other
questions have arisen which absorb a
portion of the public thought, but to as
sumo that the great issue of 1896 has
been dropped is going away beyond
what the facts will justify
Only few days ago an election was
held in BANDS old district in Missouri
In the campaign preceding the election
the silver issue was discussed in all its
bearings The supporters of the ad-
ministration We're especially anxious to
win the district because of the moral
effect of the victory 1t is fair to con-
cede that the friends of silver were
equally anxious to hold it, AS a result,
Mr.. Shackleford, the free silver candi-
date, was elected by about $500 plu-
rality in the district that for a quarter
of a century, or therea bouts, was repre-
scented by Silver Dick" whose whole
public reputation was grounded upon
his devotion to this cause.
Within the last two or three months a
number of important states have held
their nominating conventions, and in
every one in which silver ever had a
foothold the Chicago platform has been
reaffirmed, with especial emphasis upon
the free coinage plank
Scarcely more than three months ago
the great League of the Ohio Valley BIZ
metallic clubs held its convention in
Louisville, Ky. The states of Ohio. In
diana, Illinois and Kentucky We're rep
resented and from four to five thousand
delegates were in attendance. The en-
thusiasm was unbounded and sixteen
to one" was the keynote of the resolu-
tions, as well as of every speech that
was made.
Will it be seriously claimed that these
thousands of delegates We're all poll
ticians," and that the conventions re-
ferred to did not correctly represent the
people who elected the delegates?
And now still later another great BIZ
metallic convention has been held in the
very heart of New England-in the
staid old city of Providence, where lis
tening and enthusiastic thousands ap-
plauded the sentiments and the speak
ers
Those who cannot see that there Is a
deep and strong feeling upon the silver
question in all parts of the union must
be shortsighted indeed. The intense ex-
element of the last campaign is not to
be looked for all the time People must
have some rest, and it is not to be sup
posed that the bonfires will blaze, the
brass bands play, the tom-toms beat
and the hip-hip-hurrah business be kept
going during the whole four years be-
tween elections. But the people have
spoken wherever they have had a
chance, and they will speak again in
1900. OF course no one can pretend to
accurately forecast the result, but it
can be safely affirmed that the great
contest of next year will demonstrate
beyond all doubt or cavil that the silver
sentiment is a long way from being
dead or even asleep.

Maria, at last it has comet
The hitherto careworn face of the mid
dle-aged husband had taken on a new
brilliancy. and his whole attitude was
expressive of some sudden joy.
Yes, he said, triumphantly, after a
lifetime passed in ceaseless endeavor for
your sake, l am at last rewarded. My in
VentOn has been sold and a fortune
awaits me. Think, Maria, of what this
means to you! You will never have to
make me another shirt or cravat as long
as you live"
His wife looked at him with reproachful
glance.
James" she said. tenderly II hope
shall never be too proud for that. No
matter, James, how rich you shall be, 1t
will always be my greatest pleasure and
privilege to make your shirts and ties"
Her husband did not reply, but a few
moments later, alone in his own room, he
bowed his head over his clasped hands
and muttered in bitter anguish:
Alas, the labor of a lifetime spent for
naught."

~ HE constitution of the United
States vests the treaty making
power in the president, by and
with the advice and consent of the sem
ate, two-thirds vote of that body he
ing necessary for ratificat ton. The lam
guase of the constitution plainly i'm
plies that the senate should have q
Voice in the negotiations leading I'D To
the treaty. Otherwise the word lad
vice has little or no significance This,
1t Is understood, was the original inter-
probation and the actual practice for a
time, but it soon fell into disuse. and
the senate was consulted only after the
president had actually negotiated the
treaty, and agreed upon its terms.
In matter of such Importance il is
surprising that the senate yielded with
out harder struggle than it recorded,
for we find little more than a feeble
protest. Partisan considerations NAV
be largely responsible for this. Natur-
ally enough a president negotiating a
treaty wants it to suit himself, and be-
ing the executive head of the govern
ment, there is nothing to prevent him
from completing the text of the treaty
before taking the senate as a body into
his confidence. He would, though, be
quite likely to make confidants, to a
degree, of certain individual members
thus insuring their support and advo-
cacy when it was formally laid before
the senate for ratification. Then it
became simply a question of confirming
or not, for no amendment was consid-
cred admissible.
Under such circumstances if the
presidents party friends were a two
thirds majority of the body, ratification
was almost certain, and by no means
uncertain if the majority We're smaller.
His party friends would stand by him
on general principles, while his oppon
ents would scarcely feel like defeating
1t unless it were particularly vicious,
or some party question were involved.
Thus it is that many treaties have been
ratified that would have been very
materially changed if the senate had
been consulted while the negotiations
were in progress.
This is notably true of the late treaty
with Spain. 1t is almost a certainty
that it would never have been agreed
to in its present form if the senate, as
a body, had been freely consulted in
advance. 1t is very doubtful if one
| third of the senators would have in
sisted upon Spain surrendering the
| whole Philippine archipelago, and it is
| still more doubtful as to their consent
! ing to the payment of $40 900, 900 for the
| surrender. 1t was absolutely certain
that a claim of sovereignty thus ac-
| quired would be resisted by the natives,
and that bloody. expensive war would
| ensue.
| Probably Mr. Mckinley did not fore
| see it, but there are many of his own
| party who did, and who only voted to
| ratify in an excess of partisan loyalty
| TO the president. Some, including
members of the opposition, aided in the
ratification in the belief that it did not
settle the status of the islands, but
! that this might be determined later. A
| number of both parties were in favor
