Sound Money Democrats.

The sound money Democrats of Mary
land, who helped Mckinley carry that
state in 1896 by 1000 plurality, are
stayers. There is a state campaign on,
and the honest money Democratic
league has come u squarely in sup
port Of the Republican ticket. The
Democratic platform says little in ia
ocrats do not propose to support a par
ty this year that would turn and reno
them in 1900.
While it is true" says the league,
the election about to take place deals
principally with local affairs, the fact
Of q victory for the Democratic organi-
cation in Maryland means a strength
ening of the chances of that organiza-
ton to carry Maryland in 1900 for the
national Democratic party, which is
hopelessly committed to silver.
Victory for the Democracy in Mary
land continues the league, will give
encouragement to the advocates of a
deprecated currency, and a blow to the
business interests Of the country
The curse of the Maryland Demo-
Gratis who voted against the free silver
champion in 1896 is a pretty good indi-
cation that Maryland and Kentucky
sound money Democrats will do next
year what they did in 1896. And there
are sound money Democrats enough in
other states to count in the result. Time
has proved that they acted wisely. and
they will do so again.

Bryan Balls in Help.

Ex-Governor Altgeld is going to Ne
braska to help Colonel Bryan. So the
Lincoln lawyer no longer carries the
state in his pocket. Sending to Chicago
for the ex-governor to go out to tell the
Nebraskans how to vote indicates that
the presidential candidate has lost his
grip upon the people. But the Republic
n have a better man than Altgeld to
talk for them, as the rustling Roosevelt
will go out to see the soldier boys who
have been in the Philippine war, and
they and their fathers and friends will
give a man with good red fighting blood
in his veins a reception hat will be
much more earnest than the welcome
to be given to one who could find it in
his heart to pardon anarchist assassins
of Chicago policemen, and who does not
believe in increasing the greatness Of
America.

CATTLE DEALS.
Gan Not Be Worked Like They Were in
Boom Days.
tkansas City Starr

tkanSaS City SudT.)
1T takes a pretty slick guy to work a
game in the live stock business nova
days said a stock yards man yester-
day. But it was not always SO. Now
adays a mar works his game on paper.
He juggles with notes, mortgages, bills
Of sale and the like. That takes brains.
In the old days he worked his game
with the live stock itself, and that only
took nerve.
I'm the 70s and early sos there was a
big boom in the cattle business on the
plains, and eastern men just broke their
necks to buy stock in ranch and cattle
companies. The money raised was used
to buy land at big figures, build ex-
pensive ranch buildings, open fine Of
fees and get out an elaborate prospect
us. Then came the hard winters. The
cattle died and prices went down on
those that lived. Land lost it's value,
and assessments on the stockholders
were more numerous than dividends. 1
remember one fellow who had a polit-
ical pull. His father held a big posi-
ton, and those who wanted to stand In
contributed money to the sons cattle
company. Everything went sailing until
hard times came, and the old man went
out Of office. The son was manager of
the company, and the stockholders de-
manded an accounting. Their reply was
a call for more money, and they sent an
agent out secretly to investigate. The
agent reported that many of the stock
cattle of the company had been sold to
pay dividends and that the rest had
died. The sole assets of the company
was a age load Of branding irons.
The office was closed and the company
went out of business, the stockholders
generally cursing the west.
Now the eastern maj who invests in
cattle buys the paper secured by a
mortgage and backed by a commission
to lessen the chances of loss. The
old burn hurts yet, and he Is slow to be-
a principal in the game. The pa
per is not very good sometimes, but the
way the business is guarded now there
is very little risk and a surprisingly
small percentage of loss. The business
is on a much safer basis all round"

HELP FOR THE WEST.
St. Louis Business Men Join in Demand for
Storage Reservoirs.

Storage Reservoirs.
In Chicago a few weeks ago, at a
meeting of the labor organizations, res
olutions were passed calling upon the
government to make the arid domain
available to settlers by constructing
storage reservoirs for flood waters. Now
comes the st. Louis Manufacturers As
ISOLATION to join in the campaign. At a
recent meeting of that strong organiza-
ton the following resolutions were
passed:
Whereas, The question of storage
reservoirs to be constructed by the fed
eral government for the purpose of
holding water in the mountains has
been thoroughly discussed and passed
upon by eight annual sessions of the
national irrigation congress as the
proper method to supply the arid west
with irrigation water; and,
Whereas, The question of irrigation
has been thoroughly discussed and
passed upon as the only means of re-
claiming and putting into cultivation
the arid lands of the west; and,
Whereas, The great stock interests
of the west depend upon irrigated lands
for pasturage and farming purposes;
and,
Whereas, The storing of water in
mountain reservoirs would greatly les
sen If not prevent the overfiows of lands
on the lower Missouri and lower Missis-
sippi rivers, as well as tributary
streams; and,
Whereas, The interests of the entire
arid west demand irrigation, and the
overlowed lands of the south and mid
die states demand protection; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the st. Louis Manu-
facturers' Association, in behalf Of it's
patrons in the arid west and the over
flowed districts, asks that these two
combine their power, and
pledges to support the combined powers
of those interests in securing from the
federal government the necessary APP
preparations for storage reservoirs for
the purposes named; and, be 1t further
Resolved, That the st. Louis Manu-
facturers' Association feels confident
the federal government has the
right, and with equal justice, car
appropriate money for storage reservoir
purposes as it can appropriate money
for the Improvement of rivers and har-
bors, of lakes and other internal devel-
opment; and be it further
Resolved, That the st. Louis Manu-
facturers' Association will do all in it's
to bring together these two inter-
to further the joint and common
interest of all concerned. the west, the
south, and the southwestern states"

Iowa Politics.

Republicans are claiming that they
may carry Iowa by so, 900 votes, but the
Democrats say the estimate is IS, 900 too
high. The Iowa platform of the Democ-
racy left out all reference to free sill

though 1t declares in favor of the re-
adoption of the old Chicago platform.
This sneak was made to keep from
arousing the a~ntagonism Of the German
Democrats who voted against the free
silver nominee. As a bait to catch their
votes In the state campaign, the party
platform declares against militar1sm

Admiral Dewey feared being Hobson-
lied, and therefore retired to avoid such
an experience. A Chicago paper says
that there were five detectives dressed
in citizens clothes at the reception in
New York whose business it was to
line up alongside Of the admiral and
crowd away unostentatiously any wom-
an who looked like she might have de-
signs upon the admiral. He had great
fear of being made ridiculous by an as
sault of that character. A committee
promised to save him such an expert
ence, and therefore engaged the detect
ives for the specific purpose. 1t is just

will not run for office. A sailor who

CUBA LIBRE."
Nashville Americana

Some papers are complaining that
Cuba is not Cuba Libre under General
Brooke's administration. What would
they have? Do they want the Cubans'
idea of "Libre" to prevail, an idea
which means the killing of all Span
iards, the confiscation of their property,
and the turning of the island over to
armed bands, the leader of each trying
to establish himself as a dictator for the
time being? If this Is the kind of Gu
ba Libre'' wanted, and if the United
States government yields to such de-
mands, it were better that the Spanish
rule had not been overthrown. Our gov
eminent cannot afford to encourage an
archy and establish it where a govern
ment, although bad, previously existed,
and those papers playing the changes
on Cuba Libre" would be the first to
abuse the administration for fearful
conditions in Cuba if American control
was ended at once.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The bids for
the greatest of the American drydocks,
that is to be known as the granite
drydock, and to be constructed at the
Charlestown (Mass.) maynard, are to
be opened today. 1t will not alone be
the largest in this country but will
probably surpass in general avail
ability even those at Belfast, Ireland,
at Birkenhead, England, at London,
Gibraltar and Liverpool. Its length
over all will be 7S9 feet; along the
bottom of the outer gate sill it will
be 729 feet. This length may have
to be modified, as experts claim that
the appropriation granted at the last
session of congress, S1,025, 900, is in
sufficient to complete a granite struc-
ture of the dimensions named and the
sun will probably be increased to
$2.000,000. A comparison in feet is
