treachery to the free coinage cause. 1t
is a democratic confession of
used as a republican fertilizer.
WHERE WE'RE THE FREE COINAGE MEN?

When the currency bill was before the
house of representatives an opportunity
was given by its advocates for the DEM
ocrats to introduce a free coinage bill.
Not a republican in that body offered an
objection to the Introduction of such a
bill, and had the democratic side been
so disposed a free coinage measure could
have been introduced as a substitute to
the currency bill.
While the republican majority would
have ensured the adoption of the cur
rency bill. in the form in which it was
passed, the democrats could have defined
their position on the free coinage issue
lex year by introducing a bill providing
for the free and unlimited coinage of sill
Yer and gold at a ratio of IS to /, by the
Independent action of this nation, and
voting for it as a unit. The fact that
members of the democratic party raised
objections to the introduction of a free
coinage bill, and no attempt was made
to place the party On record on that is
sue, conclusive!y proves what the Inter
Mountain has all along maintained as to
the democratic understanding hat the
paramount issue of 1896 shall be retired
to the rear in the next campaign.
There was nothing in the rules to pre-
vent the Offering of a free coinage sub
stitute for the republican currency bill,
! ,,-1a,, ,n ,1iaot;arc SOW ,a;col o,J tho
! republican side unanimously assented to
the proposition. Had the democrats de-
sired to go on record on the silver ques-
ton, and commit their party to free coin
age, they could easily ave don so and
thereby set at rest all doubt as to the
position they will take on that issue in
the next campaign.
Instead Of taking advantage of the stu
alton, however, eleven of their number
voted outright for the republican meas
ure, a number Who favored its gold fea-
bill. while still others-avowedly silver
men-failed to be in their seats. There
is no record in the form of a free coin
age bill. offered as a substitute for the
gold bill, to prove that there are any
genuine free coinage democrats in the
national house of representatives. And
yet, there are democratic newspapers in
Montana which openly assert that the
democratic party is in favor of the free
coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of
16 to 1, by the independent action of this

ACUiKALDO'S JUNTA.

Notwithstanding the fact that Ag,nn-
ale is a fugitive, trying to escape from
the country in disguise, the copperhead
press need not be discouraged. r3
His junta is still successfully prosecut-
ing the war.
Not only does this important branch of
the Filipino republic gleefully report
the death of every American officer who
is stricken down by the guerrilla bullets
Of a defeated foe; but they kill off on pa
per those who still live, and circulate
broadcast over the world the news that
the Americans are on their last legs in
Luzon.
Originally, the Filipinos were only mod
crate, every day liars; but the constant
reading of democratic newspapers, with
their fairy tales about American senti-
ment, has SO enlarged the scope of their
imagination that the junta can win every
battle that Aguinaldo loses, and not half
try.
Though the Filipino chieftain has re-
tired to the backwoods on his ~laurels, the
borboun organs need not give up in des-
pair while the junta holds out.

MISS ROBERTS rs MAD.

While the polygalnous relations of Con-
lar Indignation felt throughout the coun-
try over his ambition to become an
American law-maker, it is certainly in
bad taste for the public to seek to hu-
initiate and injure his innocent daughter.
If half which that lady recites be true,
Washington city has more than it's proper
proportion of Doors, and the sentiment
that would protect the American HON
from the infection of polygamy can afford
to tax on a little education in the line of
courtesy and culture. In a late interview
story of her experiences, as follows: -
During my short stay in Washington
LAY been extremely embarrassed several
times. Time and again l nave over
heard the rudest remarks concerning my
self and my father. In elevators, in the
corridors of the capitol, on the public
streets, I have been made the subject OF
open comment. as if I We're an object
of exhibition. Not the slightest restraint
seems TO goVern these people that their
audible remarks might be distasteful to
me. On the contrary, I know that on sew
eral occasions the rude people Who in
dulge in these spiteful sayings We're high
ly gratified by reason of the fact that
heard and understood the significance
of their iests.

or Of our cause. would permit me to be
SO prosecuted. Men of style and fash.
ion of the east do not flourish in the
west. There is a vigorous manhood there
which would not stoop to hurt a woman's
feelings.
I believe it is customary to say thu wo-
men delight in the sufferings of their
sisters. Surely this proverb has grown
up in the east. l am proud to say that
no matter how bitterly my sisters of the
west oppose my father, or any policy
which he in part represented. they woulG
never make me the victim. l am certain.

It is as different to me as a foreign coun.

cends all legitimate curiosity. I might gt

and in communities absolutely hostile tt
my father and myself and never be sub.
ject to such annoyance and insult.
Our civilization is certainly different. A

rs OF VERY ANCIENT ORIGIN.

The festive season being SO near at
hand, it may not be Inappropriate to call
attention to an article which is seldom
absent from the Christmas dinner, the
mine pie. The mince pie was known be-
fore the day of Praise God Barebones and
his strait-laced brethren in 1853. The
name Christmas pie, by which it was also
known, was obnoxious to P~uritanical ears
and offensive to Puritan taste. Selden
tells us that mince pies were baked in a
c~oifin-shaped crust. intended to represent
the Manager in which the Holy Child was
! laid, but more typical, we should say, of
the sacrifice of the lives of His creatures.

LONDON, Sept. IA forecast OF the

last note of the British secretary OF
state for the colonies. Mr.. Joseph
Cham berlain, now under discussion by
the volksraad, has been received by
Mr.. Chamberlain, but its nature is not
yet known.
At the colonial Office it was stated
that nothing will be given out for the
present. It was regarded a. significant.
however, that the nature OF the Boer
reply was communicated to the COM

African advices continue most conflict
ing regarding the tenor or terms of
President Kruger's answer to MI. Cham
berlain. The Morning Post, in . second
edition prints special dispatch from

ing the reply is ''traculent, loquacious
and blasphemous.'
The Manchester Guardians corre-
spondent at Cape Town telegraphs. say
ing the outlook is of the gloomiest char
acter.
The Cape Town papers themselves
take a more hopeful view of the situa.
ton, basing their belief on the proba-
ble' acceptance by President Kruger Of
the franchise measures, as suggested in
Mr.. Cham berlain's latest dispatch. But
even they admit it is impossible to
learn or foreshadow President Kruger's
attitude towards the suzerainty OF
Great Britain, which after all Is still
the main issue.
The tension may be temporarily set
tied ct any moment by the publication
Of President Kruger's reply. On thu
other hand, it may be several days be
