evidently intend to convey the idea
duced, and you exercise your ingenuity
in suggesting devices by which silver
production may be curtailed. First, a
seigniorage or government tax, "greater
or less" that Is, raised to whatever
point may be necessary to discourage
silver mining; and, second, a govern
ment prohibition to the location of new
mines, which you assume will be effec-
tive because those now privately owned
"will soon be exhausted" Now, if
this had been said by Byuum and Eckles
or Cleveland or any other of the geld
standard cranks, l should not have been
surprised and certainly should not have
thought of criticising it. But in the
mouth of a professed silver advocate 1t
is such a giving away of position and
argument as to threaten the most
serious injury, unless exposed and de
nounced by those in whose behalf it is
assumed to be spoken. We are pre-
pared to meet our open enemies but we
cannot safely tolerate the Endorsement
of their theories by those regarded as
our advocates and protesting loyalty to
the cause of silver restoration. Posi-
bly,, Mr.. Newlands, vou may be able to
give some explanation of your remark
able language and if so you cannot
begin to make it too soon. If
these extracts fairly present your
views, then you have no right longer
to pose as a friend of silver. Your
scheme is not only impracticable,
one of those i~llusory devices ''to do
something for silver which are contin-
ually bobbing up in goldbug literature,
but is an absolute surrender of all that
is vital in silver advocacy. When a man
who ssumes to be a champion of silver
talks about a "regulation of coinage" to
preserve parity and deprecates any ex-
pansion of the money volume by which
prices might be increased and absolutely
suggests d limitation upon production
as a means OF preserving the purchasing

Results of the Election at Toledo and
Observation-Disclosures Defeated.

Cincinnati. April 4.-The elections In
Ohio yesterday were generally for mu-
nicipal and township officers. At Gin
cinnati the Republicans have plurality
OF 1000, and the present Democratic
mayor was elected two years ago by
almost as large a plurality. At Dayton
the Democrats made municipal gains.
but the Republicans gained in the
township. which seems to be the case
throughout the state. What is known
as the Western Reserve maintains its
usual Republican majorities. with some
gains over those OF former April cleo
tions. notably at Youngstown, Warren.
Cadiz. Delaware and other cities in
northeastern Ohio. In the smaller
cities as well as in the rural districts
the Republicans claim gains. notably in
Chillicothe. At Hamilton the Demo-
Gratis maintained their majorities. also
at Lima. Newark. Circleville. Upper
Sandusky, Wapakoneta, AIillersburg
and Van Vert. As rule the vote was
light. At Canton, the home of McKin-
ley. James Robertson, Republican. was
elected mayor by thirteen plurality. a
change from the present Democratic ad-
ministration.
Toledo. o., April 4-The Jones man
agement gives its candidate a plurality
of 5000, and claims a majority over all
others 1t is conceded that the other Re
publican nominees are elected. The
Jones men, after voting for their favor
lite candidate. seemed to care little for
the minor offices, and the consequence 1s
that the other candidates will fall short.
Mayor S. NJ. Jones was a candidate on
an independent ticket with a platform
of municipal ownership and socialism.
He bolted the Republican convention
when he was defeated for reEomina-
tion.

plurality OF about 1850. The remainder
Of the Republican ticket. including city
treasurer. police judge, police inspector.
justice and four members of the school
council elected at large, will have sub
stantial pluralities. The Republicans
will control the city council. McKis-
sons defeat was due to the detection
OF Republicans who voted against him
because of his refusal to vote for his
party during the contest before the
legislature year ago last winter.

THE ELECTION IN CHICAGO.
Big Vote Being PoIIed-AItgeId's Strength

Chicago, April bright, spring
weather brought the voters to the
polls with a rush. In many of the
wards over two-thirds of the vote was
recorded before 10. 1t is believed
over 30 per cent of the registration

close. The threatened trouble in the
First ward over imported voters did

Only Non-Union Miners and Protect
Them with Force. if Necessary-More
Trouble at virden, nls.-Strike in Glass
Works Probable That VIII Involve 61.-
900 Employes-Brewersi in Council.
Ispheming, Mich. April. A notice
| issued last night by officials of the
| Cleveland, Cliffs. Lake Superior and
| Lake Mine companies TO the effect that
| non-union men will be employed and
| protected, caused excitement among the
| workmen. The companies threaten to
prosecute all who trespass on their
property. and warn those who have
| been hostile in the last few days to keep
away from the mines. All who Joined
the union under compulsion will be
given work and protected, by the
militia, if necessary. The issuance OF
the notice possibly means a prolonged
fight between the companies and the
union. The denial OF work to the union
men, il is thought, will cause the latter
to come out stronger than ever in oppo-
sition to nom -unionists being allowed to
to work.
Strikers in an Ugly Mood. -r-E=
The situation becomes more alarm
ing hourly and the result of today's de-
velopments will be watched closely, as
serious trouble is feared. The union
strikers are in an ugly mood. Eight
timbermen were compelled to leave the
Cleveland Lake Mine yesterday and
marched to headquarters and Joined the
union. The streets were crowded with
strikers who jeered the non-unionists
and cheered for the union. The union
men say they will have representatives
at all the mines today and will not al
low a miner to so to work unless his
card is shown. The Finlanders declare
most emphatically that they will not
join the union. Trouble is anticipated.
The issue is unionism. The men in
sist that no man not having a union
card be allowed to work in the mines.
The question of wages is secondary. An
injunction was secured at Marquette
yesterday which prevents the unionists
from entering the shafts or otherwise
intimidating the men or interfering
with the work
