TEST STILL TO COME.
The People Have Not Yet Passed Up
on the Administrations Policy
of Expansion.

That the administration should not
have been able to make better show
ing than that of the elections in 12
states is a fact full of significance as
bearing upon the presidential contest
of 1900.
1t is claimed by the administration
party and by administration organs
that majority of the people of this
country are in favor of the PRESIDENT s
policy of American expansion into the
eastern hemisphere. Where do they
find an expression of this sentiment in
the recent elections?
In Massachusetts, where the fight was
made almost exclusively on the expan-
sion issue, the democratic party made
surprising gains. Ohio was held for the
president only by the eXertion of all the
administration influence. In no state
of the IL did the vote show that the
presidents Philippine policy strength
ened the republican party.
The issue of imperialism, of expan-
sion by the conquest of foreign terri
tory, will come clearly before the peo'
pie of all the states in 1900. There is
reason to believe that the popular vote
will pronounce unqualified public con,
demnation of this un-American policy.
The democratic party has cause for
greater confidence than ever that the
people of this country are not yet ready
to repudiate American principles for
the gain OF foreign territory or the gov.
ernment by force of weaker peoples.--

WHAT THE GOLD MEN WANT.
Reckless in Their Greed, ReasOnIess
in Their Arguments and Heart
less in Their Demands

Discussing the recent decision of the
supreme court of Michigan, which de-
clared the silver dollar to be an alb
solute legal tender, gold standard or
gan says:
''While the Michigan opinion can be
of no service to the silverites, it ought
to be of some use to- the cause of
sound money, by deepening the convic-
ton that we need legislation ending
the present ambiguity and making
gold the only unlimited legal tender
COIN
The gold standard organ is disin-
genuous. If the decision is ''of no serv-
ice to the silverites," why does the
gold standard advocate suggest that
''we need legislation ending the pres
ent ambiguity?''
AS matter of fact there is no am
biguity. What the gold men want is
a reputation by this government of
$5OO,O0O,O00 worth of legal tender
money, for which the nation has re-
ceived full value in gold at par.
No greater dishonesty could be sug-
gested; no more gigantic robbery
could be committed than this repudia-
ton. As the Chicago Democrat de-
clares, to reduce half billion of legal
tender money to the value of bullion
would be a contraction of the cur
rency which would produce wide
spread disaster.
But the gold advocates are reckless
in their greed, reasonless in their ar
guments and heartless in their de
mands. Even that radical administra-
tiOn paper, the New York Sun. ad-
mits that such reputation would pre-
C:pitate panic, would be dishonest
and would be nothing more nor less
than reduction by one-half in the
value of $5OO,O0O,OGO worth of coin now
worth rs face and declared to be abso-
lutely a legal tender.-Illinois State

a Sunday school, and the teacher of his
class was one whose sympathetic heart
went out to the poor boy in a way that
warmed his own.
1t was this weekly ".ifting up" that
helped the lad and kept him from a
few of the temptations encountered Ey
Bob. In vain had Stub urged his young
friend to join him. Bob steadfastly re-
fused
The ten work days went by, anL Bob
never once failed to make his appear
ance at the appointed time. This great
ly pleased his benefactor, and for two
reasons.
First, he was exceedingly glad for
Bob's own sake that he was proving
himself an honest boy. Secondly, his
companions in the office had laughed
at his confidence in the strange lad
who had such knowing look"
Do we not all like to prove ourselves
to have been in the right? And do we
not shrink from that extremely disa-
greeable emphasis sometimes given to
the simple phrase: Il told you SOP"
Mr.. DE Foe was not an exception,
and as Bob appeared on the tenth morn
ing, he could hardly refrain from pat
ting him on the back, and thanking
him for making good the trust he had
placed in him.
On this day, when Bob had finished
his light work, he stood waiting, men,
tally framing his question. Mr.. De Foe
watched him with a curious interest.
You might not be wanting any
more jobs done, might you?"
"Yes, if you like, you may come for
ten days more, and | will pay you for
each time. Often it may be more than
ten cents.''
And for ten days more Bob was
punctually on hand. Meantim he
formed several acquaintances in the
Office, for Bob had an eye to promo
ton.
''The lad is proving me to have been
in the right" said Mr.. De Foe, to some
of the gentlemen in the office, one
morning as Bob went out.
But no one agreed with him, at least
not then.
The following morning, little be-
fore the time for Bob's coming, gen.

TRANSPARENT Trains.

The trains to wedding dresses are
now being made of transparent materi-
ais, such as chiffon, tulle and muslin,
with many fiounces and plaitings and
much lace trimmings. These trains are
very soft and less heavy and old looking
than brocade or satin, and when the
wedding day is over they can be con-
verted into the most delightful of even
ing dresses. The same idea is being
carried out in evening cloaks. The new
thing this year in the way of dress has
been very extensive and elaborate man
ties for the evening, made of rich silks,
and brocades are much trimmed with
lace and fur. The cloaks will still re-
main as large as in the winter, but the
material is changed to the thinnest and
Hghtest gossamer and chiffon.-Wash-

THAT FLOOD OF SILVER.
Irony of the Present Scarcity of
Money i'm the White Metal
Meaning of Bim metaIIism.

Perhaps the most fortunate thing
that could have happened just at this
time for the ultimate interests of the
people, is the prevailing scarcity of sill
yer money. 1t is of course very incon-
venient and hurtful to the retail trade
of the country, and through that to
every interest that concerns the masses
of the people; but it is an eye-opener
and will lead many doubling Thomases
into the path of wisdom in time for
next years election. The stock argu-
ment with republican and so-called
democratic goldbug advocates has been
that if silver were remonetized we
would have flood of cheap money that
would drive gold out of the country and
put us on a silver basis. Naturally
every man who knows anything at all
about the laws that govern finances,
knows that this would be an impossible
condition; but the argument" has
served its purpose until the existing
famine of silver currency proved its ut
ter fallacy.
Silver and gold serve two distinct and
essential purposes, and neither can
take the place or do the work of the
other. And it is impossible to dispense
with either one or the other without
great public inconvenience, distress
and loss. Gold is the money of the rich,
of the banks, the railroad companies,
the great manufacturing plants, and
all wealthy institutions and interests.
1t is essential to their prosperity, and
no one desires to deprive them of a
single ounce of the yellow metal. On
the other hand, silver is the money of
the people. 1t is the money that pays
the hired workman, the factory girl,
the laborer on the streets, and does the
great volume of retail cash business in
all the avenues of trade. 1t is the
money of universal use, and can no
more be safely taken away than you
can deprive healthy man of the blood
in his veins without producing weak
ness and death.
Bimetallism means the right to use
either or both silver and gold, on an
established basis of equality, in order
that all classes of the people may enjoy
prosperity; the poor as well as the rich.
Present conditions prove the wisdom
of bimetallism. With silver demone-
tized and gold abundant, by reason Of
new discoveries and a large foreign
trade balance, we see plethora of pros
perity among the big institutions and
the rich, and hopeless and helpless pov-
erty among the masses of the people.
These are the natural results of our un-
natural and ruinous financial system,
a condition purposely created by the
imperial money lenders of England and
America, who are now engaged in
crushing and wiping out the only re-
publics in Asia and Africa, not merely
as qualification of their natural hatred
of liberty, but because they fear the
people and seek opportunity and excuse
for organizing great armies for the flu
ture control of public sentiment in all
the nations of the world. The ultimate
object of the gold standard is the death
of liberty and the supremacy of a
money-lending plutocracy.-Mi Mississippi
Valley Democrat.

L want to get a boy to throw hand
bills for me. How will that chap l see
around here do?"
'Capitally," replied Mr.. De Foe.
Quick, energetic and honest. He's
cut out for a rich man."
Il don't care SO much for his future
carefully, and l may say conscientious
ly, the handbills."
1T would be well to caution him."
spoke up the doubling gentleman.
"Pll answer for his care and hon.
esty," said Mr.. De Foe.
Nevertheless he determined to give
Bob few cautionary hints.
He doesn't want half a dozen
thrown in one place." he explained pri-
vately to him. You see, one answers
every purpose, and makes them go
much further. So you must be very
particular, for you know two might
stick together
Bob's natural talent for business led
him at once to appreciate the truth
of this.
81 understand" he said. "I've seen
boys a-throwin' bills around by the
hull pile. They don't last no time in
that way
So Bob started forth, and to make
the matter certain, the gentleman
called out to him that he would pay
him by the hour.
This began to look like business, and
Bob was jubilant. Now came the diff
ference between his honesty and his
policy.
While he was still comparatively near
the office, he threw guardedly, but as
the distance increased, he became less
particular, and if two or three slipped
off together, it was just as well, in his
mind.
Later in the morning, as Mr.. De Foe
was driving in his carriage, he es-
pied Bob, and thinking it would be
pleasant to report his systematic dis
tributing at the office, he directed his
coachman to drive very slowly.
He could hardly believe his own eyes.
Here was his honest young protege de-
| liberately purring off the bills by the
half-dozen or dozen, as the case might
be, and carelessly tossing them into
the little yards, paying not the slight
est attention as 10 whether they re-
manned within the inclosure, or were
waited away by the breeze.
| At first he directed his coachman to
stop the carriage, intending to confront
| the boy, and ask for one of the bills
which he seemed so generously scat
tering about Then he countermanded
the order, adding to himself:
"The little rascal! 1t will serve him
right to have the cold shoulder given
| him after this"
Which was most emphatically done.
and Bob set it down to luck, never once
connecting the two circumstances.
I'll stop that other rascals coming,
too," Mr.. DE Foe said, when he owned
up fair to his companion in the office.
But Stub had found another friend,

mo; that other chaps as true as
Bob is false. Honest faces are as plain

of making something out Of Stuh.'
So Stub continued to come, but poor
Bob never learned that he was merely
receiving a punishment
Perhaps if more were led where Stub
was, fewer would drift where unfortu-
nate Bob did. Who can tell how differ
ent it might have been Golden Days.

ELECTION RESULTS.
Terribly Emphatic Rebuke to the
Administration for Criminal
Aggression.

That the recent election carried with
it a severe condemnation of imperial
ism is evident to all intelligent people,
and claims to the contrary on the part
of administration organs are simply
buncombe and nothing more.
That this fact is apparent to those
who allow themselves to reason is made
evident by the editorial comment in the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, news
paper true to the grand old party, but
opposed to imperialism.
Discussing the results of the recent
election, the Republican says:
The election carries to the admins
ira ton terribly emphatic rebuke for
its war of criminal aggression. Mary
land has swung back to its democratic
mcorings. Nebraska shows large gains
for democrats. As to Ohio, the issue on
Imperialism was clearly drawn"
The Republican continues: "The
great !urch which sends the presidents
party in Ohio from large and apparent
ly unassailable majorities in years past
into striking minority has been
brought about by the presidential pol
icy of criminal aggression"
Nash was elected governor of Ohio by
the republicans, it is true, but with a
plurality of $4,000 there was popular
ma ajority of 10000 against the policy of
imperialism.
Jones received 10000 votes, every
one of which was protest against Nc
Kinley.
There can be no doubt that the Jones
vote was against imperialism. and this
is the view taken of it by Candidate
Jones.
In concluding its comments the Re-
publican says:
''The verdict of the election raises at
once the question of the expediency of
Mr.. McKinley's denomination. 1t points
to the impossibility of electing him in
1900 on the platform he has made for
himself, and by which he must now ap-
parently stand or fall

per, this is rather cold comfort for EN-

Though no official statement was
