BRYAN AND BELMONT.

The controversy between Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Belmont, the two eminent lead
ers of the silver and gold wings of the
democratic party, has excited a great deal
of public interest of late. The contest
was inaugurated by Mr.. Bryan, and that
gentleman has forced the fighting. The
last letter, however, is from the pen of
Mr.. Belmont and to some of the state
ments therein made Mr.. Bryan has as
yet made no rejoinder. Mr.. Belmont
said:
I put to you in my letter two or three
questions easily capable of an affirma-
tive or negative reply.
One was, DO you deem the money
question as now paramount to all 9TH
ers?' You evade.
Another was, DO you insist on the in
fallibility of the coinage ratio of Is to
as a test of democracy?' You again
evade
Another was, Must all democratic
voters line up in 1900 on a federal statute
making every contract illegal which
stipulates for payment in gold?' You
evade again.
Another was, will a law preventing
wage edTlefS ana salary edIneTS from
demanding and securing payment in gold
dollars, if they prefer gold dollars, be a
winning issue in 1907" You again evade.
1t is unquestionably the duty of Mr..
Bryan to take up these propositions and
answer them in detail, as he doubtless
can do to the satisfaction of his friends.
To ignore them will be to strengthen the
suspicion that the silver leader is willing
to see a compromise brought about in the
national democratic convention in 1900,
and to that end will not prescribe too
many hard pills for his late antagonists
to swallow.
If Mr.. Bryan proposes to maintain the
position taken in 1896 he will answer Mr..
Belmont's questions in the affirmative.
This would, of course, have the effect to
read those out of the party who ignore
the free coinage ratio of Is to 1, in the
| event of Mr.. Brayan's nomination. But
there seems to be no help for it. If Mr..
Bryan temporizes he is lost.

The garrote itself is a shabby enough old
trap, consisting mainly of rusty iron and
an unplaned board or two. The Dons are
awfully punctilieus in regard to form,
but scandalously careless of appearance.
A judge who might hav seven kinds of
fits if he should omit one syllable of the
Unfortunately long harangue delivered at
the scene of the judicial murder, would
ton which to the unframed olfactories of
the ignorant Yankees might SAVIOR of the
humble animal the Dons have declared
we resemble. Thus it is that the garrote
is simple to excess. 1t is about 10 feet
high all told. The platform, which is
four feet from the ground, is some six
feet square. Attached to the iron column
which runs through and supports this is
an iron chair. Two feet above this is
the fatal screw. The culprit(D is seated
in this chair with his hands and feet
firmly tied, and his eyes blindfolded. At
the proper moment, a tWirl is given the
screw, which penetrates his neck and
breaks his spinal column. The operation
may or may not be very painful. If it
were not for the peculiarly tiendish man
ner in which the affairs were conducted
there is reason to believe that the garrote
is less inhuman than either the rope or
the chair. 1t is the Spanish who have
thrown the method into odium.

REEDS RETIREMENT.

In referring to the retirement of
Speaker Reed the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat says:
Now that Mr.. Reed has decided to re-
tire. it is not difficult to account for his
action. To all of the conditions which
favored withdrawal before there is added
now a new element Mr.. Reed is not
strictly in harmony with the administra-
ton and the party. He does not favor
certain policies upon which the repub-
licars will go before the country next
year, The speakership was conceded to
him. There would have been no opposi-
ton. But if he had gone on he would
have had to give his consent and support
to legislation which he did not entirely
approve. Mr.. Reed is too good a repub-
lican to antagonize as speaker the curse
of the party. He is too outspoken to re-
frain from expression of his sentiments
He could hardly have been speaker and
have been himself. There would have
been embarrassment.
1t is more likely that his prospective
inability to reach the presidency fol-
lowed by the offer of a salary ten times
greater han that of speaker, had more
to do with it.

ANOTHER CLARK.

The Butte Miner this morning is
authority for the statement that the
Hon. w: A. Clark of this city is not a
party to the great copper combine-that
the Clark referred to in the dispatches
relating to the deal is another member of
the Clark family. and that the senator
elect is still holding intact his copper
properties. The inference is deducible,
however, from the statement of the Miner
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-04-25
that the transfer of the latter's holdings

that the transfer of the latter's holdings
to the combine is not an imposslblllty
of the future, inasmuch as hat paper
requests the public to bear in mind the
position taken by the Inter Mountain to
the effect that it is the p~rerogative of any
man to sell his mining properties when
offered his price.
If this be true, the silence of the Miner
respecting the combine, which 1t saw III
to criticise recently with considerable
yigor. is explained. No one will question
the right of Mr.. w. a. Clark to hold out
for his price as a business proposition, but
why should that astute financial pro-
cedure have any bearing on the Miners
view of the moral phase of the trust
question. when but a short time ago IL
was vigorously declaiming against the
copper combine as destructive to civillza-
ton and likely to seriously affect the ac-
ton of the sun, moon and stars?

WINGED. Why not then take a
reasonab BILE view of this matter?
These donors to colleges are not
to be imposed on. There is no
need of argument to make US all
believe that. Were they not men
of the rarest judgment of the
times, we might dispute their
right to our confidence in these
matters. But they have long
since proved the solidity of their
judgment, and for others to disa-
gree with them is to reason in the
face of fact. They not only insist
on their own children having the
advantages of which they were
deprived when young, but, so
clearly do they see the immense
advantages of education, that
they wish to make it so that
others may avail themselves of
them. They do not say that sue
cess is impossible for those who
do not educate themselves. But
they know that the times have
changed from what they were in
America when they made their
fortunes. This is no longer really
a new country, although it may
be one compared with the coun-
tries on the other side of the At
lantic. In new country the op-
portunities for financial success
differ largely from what they are
in the older countries. Many of
the fortunes which great Ameri-
can financiers have made had
their foundations laid years ago
when the conditions were alto
gether different. The struggle
then was as severe and the de-
mand for peculiar abilities as de-
cided; but the age has advanced,
and the conditions have greatly
changed. 1t is the part of wis
dom to adapt oneself to the
times.

TO OUR YOUNG FRIENDS

From the Florida Baptist Witness:
This is the time of the year
when many young people, to-
gether with their friends, are anx.
iously inquiring about matters
educational. Many will, within
the next few weeks, decide a ques.
ton which is to affect their whole
future in a way that may not
easily be estimated. Of course
the first of all questions to be
settled is as to whether they shall
attend school at all. To all such
the WITNESS desires to speak
with word of advice and warn
ing. Go to college if possible.
Do not be deceived with the idea
that the thing for you to do is to
take the advice of some man or
woman who thinks he or she
reads the signs of the times in
the large number of men who
have wonderfully succeeded with.
out collegiate training. Such
success has usually been of a
financial sort. Success in any
other department of human en-
deavor Is well nigh impossible
without college training. The
prime success of the age is not
the financial kind, although this
is decidedly an age of great finan-
cial successes. There must be
something else of a broader and
deeper nature that must yield
that sort of success which will
give efficiency, socially, politi-
calIy and otherwise. AS evidence
of the manner in which the great
financiers who have built up great
fortunes without the help of col
lego training regard this matter,
one has but to turn to the efforts
and opinions of these men to be
convinced that they regard the
training that the college gives as
of the first Importance. Is it not
true indeed that the large
amounts of money that have been
given, and are still being given,
to build and equip universities
and colleges, have, as their main
contributors, these men? II they
did not believe that the best thing
for a young man or young woman
is collegiate training, would they
give to these schools more money
by far than they give. to anything
else? We think that such action
on their part is argument suffi-
Gent for even those who desire
for themselves or their children
