ing over itself to get int. the free coin
age band wagon! But the president OF
the Association of Silver Clubs does not
confine himself to a recognition of the
fact that free coinage is going to be
practically dropped by the democracy
next year. He is just as willing as
Bryan himself to help hunt up another
paramount issue. In referring to the
says:
The best men in the democratic party
approve the policy of the administra-
ton or feel that the present course has
been inevitable and must be fought
through to success. 1t will not do for
Bryan to put himself against the brains
and patriotism of the country.
1t appears that the president of the
Association of Silver Clubs is, like Sem
ator Teller. something of a patriot. Re
CARELESS of the feelings of some Of the
great lights of the democracy in this part
of the country. he unhesitatingly de-
clares that the 'best men, in that party
approve of the policy OF the administra-
ton, insofar as the so-called question of
imperialism" is involved. Then. too,
he sees no hope for the democracy III OPP
posing expansion. and as to trusts he
finds that such combinations of capital
'have at last got a pretty good stake in
the democratic party" He finds the only
hope for his party to lie in an attack upon
the course pursued by the administration
in conducting the present war.
There is abundant food for reflection
in Mr.. Keeney's interview, which is given
in our Geographic columns totiay, and
men who nave been inclined to trust the
democracy in its professions of friendship
for silver will do Well to keep their
weather eye open for breakers.

Among the democratic
which pretend to be for the free coinage
some other paramount issue, is the Hell
ena Independent. When the national
democratic convention relegates silver to
the rear. that organ will applaud it's ac-
ton till it's editorial columns will sound
like a cross between a fog horn and a
steam calliope.

Not one Of the so-called silver demo-
cratic newspapers in Montana has taken
issue with the Anaconda Standard on
the proposition that the ratio of values
between silver and gold is regulated by
the worlds exchanges. The Standard is
the leading democratic paper in the state,
and it's statements are permitted to
stand unchallerged by the press of that
party. A fine gang of free coinage advo-
Gates, to be sure!

The silver republicans and the populists
now realize that the only hope for silver
lies in proving to the democratic party
that it cannot juggle with that question
and win. 1t stabbed the interests of free
coinage in the back in 1898 n is now
scheming to retire that issue to the back
ground in 1900.

The democratic newspapers that advo-

cuBA,s GREAT DAY.
Gen Comes Eaters Havana Escorted
BY Gen. Ludlow, and IL Received
with Wild Enthusiasm.

Havana, Feb. 25.-Gen. Maxine Go
mez, the Cuban commander in chief, en-
tered Havana Friday afternoon, escort
ed by Gen. Ludlow and his staff and
troop L, of the Seventh United States
cavalry. He marched at the head of
1900 armed Cuban horsemen and foot
men. The population of the city was
wild with enthusiasm, throwing them
selves in front of the generals horse,
impeding its progress, and pelting him
with flowers. The general reviewed the
troops at the palace. a.t
Following the procession were many
private carriages, filled with women
representing the best society, some al
leg'orically dressed and Others waving
flags. The. Cuban bands played the Gu
ban national hymn, varying this with
'Dixie," 'sThe Star Spangled Banner"
"The Stars and Stripes Forever" and
popular American marches. There
were many allegorical floats expressing
the friendship between Cuba and the
United States. No fewer than $4,000
people were in line, requiring three
hours to pass a given point.
Expressions of good will toward
Americans were universal. The events
of the day were creditable to the Gu
bans, and were also Significant in the
lack of resentment toward the Spanish
classes. It was not day of rejoicing
for Spaniards, yet they could not fail
to be gratified at the care taken to avoid
wounding their susceptibilities.

REPLIES TO MILES.
Former Commissary General Eagan
Testihes Before Court Of Inquiry
Concerning Beef Charges.

Washington, Feb. 25.-After session
of little more than two hours the court
of inquiry Investigating the beef
charges adjourned until Monday, pend
ing the arrival of witnesses who have
been summoned. Former Commissary
General Eagan on Friday concluded his
testimony explaining the provisions of
contracts for beef supplies to the
armies in Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines. He very vigorously denied
any knowledge of any chemical treat
1nent of beef to preserve it and disa-
vowed any connection whatever of the
government with any such treatment.
He further defended the canned roast
beef, explaining why it had been; sent
to the troops, and when Col. Davis, the
recorder, asked him if any food had
been used as an experiment, or pre-
tense of experiment, suggesting Gen.
Miles famous allegation that precipi-
tated the Eagan court-martial, the
former commissary general with great
dignity and emphasis replied sweeping
ly in the negative.

Rear Admiral Dewey Says He Ha.
No Desdre for Office and Would
-. Not Be a Candidate.

Manila, Feb. 25.-In his only author
lied interview Rear Admiral Dewey
says he would not accept nomination
to the presidency. He says he desires
no political Office. He says he is untitled
by education and training. He is CRATE
full for the sentiment of the American
people. He desires to retire in peace
in old age, and says the navy is one pro-
fession and politics another, and he is
too old to learn new profession. He
has no political associates, and his
health could never stand the strain of
a political canvass. He has been re-
peatedly approached by politicians, but
has refused to consider their PROPOSE
lions, as he desires to see no change in
the present administration. This was
final. @u

R1Nas never were more fashionable,
and it is the latest fashion to wear q
ring on the index finger, and this is
quite as awkward as wearing q circlet
of jewels on the thumb. The ring
most approved at present to wear on
the index finger is large and costly.
1t consists Of ruby surrounded with
diamonds. An emerald set in this

of fashion are also wearing curious an
Gent rings, many of which cover three
fingers, after the style of Mrs. Mackey
and her $27, 900 ring.
