DEATH OF SILVER

The Republican press has daily as
sured the world that the silver issue

but silver was cheered, and the fore

declared that the Chicago platform
will not be modified on the silver ones
ton. The silver discussion is keene1
IN the East than in the West. 1t is
time for Nevada to line up and stand
squarely on the Chicago platform, and
every plank in it. The Repub,

AguinnIdo the Great.

Mr.. John j. Lentz, who is a member OF
Congress from Ohio, and an alleged DEM
ocrat. has been speechifying before small
audience of Massachusetts bimetalli5ts, an
telling them that the good and gorgeous
Aguinaldo, Washington of the Fiipiro=, is
.'one of the greatest men of the century,
We may be allowed TO observe that the
name of this admirer of the chief Malay
murderer against whom our boys are fight
ing in Luzon, has sweet German ac
cent" about it. which leaves US no chance
to experience surprise when he denounces
British colonial policy" and an at
tempted British alliance"
Concerning Mr.-Lentzs intense admira
ton for Aguinalde it is highly probable
that he thinks it both conmendab.e and
original 1t is neither. 1t is contemplate
in any man to stand up and endeayor to
g.orify miserable, cutthroat savage, who
butchers his tribesmen at will. and resists
our flag ard sovereignty only because it
represents liberty, honesty, and good or
der: whereas he is struggling for a bar
barian dictatorship that he may rule AMI
rob the people of the Philippines. only a
small fraction of whom even pretend to
recognize his insurrection.
The Lentz position lacks originality as
well as responsibility. 1t infringes the
patent OF Hoar and the copyright of At
kinson in their own territory. We are in
favor of protecting them against that sort
of thing. especially when their vested
rights in the infamy of supporting TagaI
rebels against the Stars and Stripes are as
sailed by outsiders. The country can read
ily understand how a Nestor OF political
PecksnifIs like the senior Massachusetts
Senator can laud and morally assist the
enemies of his country. Medford rum and

a Democrat deliberately attempts to steal
the treason thunder of the Boston Filipino
Junta, to preach it to men who have i'm
aibed the honest, expansive Americanism
of jefferson. Jackson, and Polk with their
mothers milk.
What people of the Lentz order think
they are working for we are at loss to
conceive; but we can tell them what the
result OF their anti-American idiocy will be
without the slightest doubt. 1t will give
the Republican Administration, with its
shameful record of Eaganism, Sampson
ism, Algerism, carterism, and return to
the political spoils system in the civil ser
/ vice, q new lease of power. The Ameri-

himself TO his duty. was secretly set upon
by congeries of miscreants determined TO
see that canal built by Americans AMI
controlled by their Government, with the
sole object of getting him out of the way.
The plan of campaign evolved by the
gentlemen hired to exeulpate Carter, or at
least save him from punishment, is most
clever and even brilliant. 1t tends to bring
to his relief the powerful influences work
ing TO kill the Nicaragua Canal, and TO in
luence public opinion in his favor by viii
flying Otis, of whom the American people
are quite inclined to believe anything un-
pleasant. The central idea of the defence
now seems TO be that. in complieating the
case with these new issues, certain impor-
tant and undenied facts which We're es ABB
lished in the trial by court-martial may
be lost 10 sight

Carter's actions and demonstrate his p.obi-
ty in connection with them?
Aside from the inherent wickedness of
his judges and the alleged impoliey and
impossi5iIity of an American ditch, is it
not true that Carter pleaded the statute
of limitations in bar of many of the
serious charges against him? Would a de-
family guiltless man who said he got it
ali from Westcott' do that? Was it not
proven by evidence that the defence could
not shake that Carter carried straw men
on his rolls, collected their pay, and used
it? Did not Carter's bankers refuse to
appear before the court-martial, and did
not the Atlantic Contracting Company.
of which he was charged with being the
ruling member, decline to produce its
books?
We have little doubt that, under cover
Of the fog and smoke which is being raised
by the lawyers, some way of escape will
be found for Carter. The question is: Can
Mr.. Mckinley afford to take the chances?
Friendly and family influences are hard
things TO overcome; but, in way, so is
general dissatisfaction with man who
puts them before his duty to himself, his
high Office, and the cause CT justice.

An 0nninnns INCIDENT.

An incident which occurred on Sunday
night in New Yorks Chinese quarter sug
gests some embarrassing complications in
the future The Oriental Benevolent So
ciety and the Chu Chung Society could
not agree about the prices to be charged
for laundry work, and a riot ensued.
If we are to have Chinese unions. and
II they are to make themselves conspicu-
Gus after this fashion, it will add new and
serious difficulties to the labor problem.
1t is bad enough to have arguments by
the club and brickbat, with laborers of
the Caucasion race to say nothing OF the
dynamitlng Of cars and like methods of
expressing opinion. But If the prevailing
spirit of unrest is to affect the Chinese
population, there will be WEAKNESS and
vexation of spirit for the police force.
In the first place, arbitration or dis
cussion of the difficulty by outsiders will
be practically impossible, owing TO the
peculiarities Of the Chinese language In
nine cases out of ten no American will
be able to find out what the trouble was all
about or come within mile of offering a
satisfactory solution. The dialect OF Can
ton-the native tongue of most of the Chi
nese IL this country-is one of the most
! involved and curious ever invented by a
| human race, and when one word has six
different accents, each of which gives 1t a
| different meaning, it is rash, not to say
foolhardy, for stranger to try to learn
such a speech. Again, to the average
white man Chinese look so much alike that
| in chasing the ringIeaders of fray the po-
| lice would be as likely as not to catch some
innocent Mongol who had been minding
his own business all the time. Heretofore
| the Chinaman in the Eastern States has
! been a peaceable, quiet, unresentful in
! habitant If he is to have labor problem
of his own there is no knowing what may
| happen.
