MCoMAs' FREE SILVER TALK.

Senator McComas of Maryland is about
the only senator who has expressed for
publicat ton the opinion that If Mr.. Bryan
tives were to be elected next fall the Senate
would likely contain free silver majority
after March 8, 1901. The newspapers and
politicians have been saying that under
no circumstances could majority for the
free coinage of silver be obtained in the
Senate under five or six years. 1t has
been argued therefore that the Gold DEM
ocrats would support Mr.. Bryan, even
though the Chicago platform were given
an emphatic Endorsement by the Demo-
cratic National Convention.
Have all those who have been advising
the public about this matter been mis-
taken and is Senator McComas alone
right7 He says that II anybody will take
a look at the political situation in the
states from which the thirty senators
come whose terms will expire In
1901, they will be unable to avoid the con-
clusion that II there is to be Democratic
tidal wave, enough silver senators will
be elected to give the control of the Sem
ate to the silverites.
1t is probable that Senator McComas
Is trying to scare the Gold Democrats of
Maryland into supporting the Republican
ticket next fall. There Is big Gold Dem
ocratic vote in that state, particularly in
Baltimore. If the Democrats are united
Maryland win go Democratic. II they
are divided Mr.. Mckinley will stand a
good chance of carrying Maryland again.
In no part of the country do the Gold
Democrats appear to be in the least
alarmed respecting the money question.
They look upon that question as being
practically settled. If the Democrats
should elect the next President, and
should get control of the House and the
Senate. 1t is doubtful II, under existing
circumstances, It would be possible TO get
bill through Congress repeating the
gold standard law. There would be
enough Democrats against disturbing the
currency TO prevent any radical legisla-
ton on the currency question. Gold
Democrats therefore can support the Dem
ocratic ticket without any fear that by
so doing they will open the way for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of l6

RAILROADS AND THE PEACH CROP.

The talk with Mr.. Egan, president OF
the Central, on marketing the peach crop
which we published yesterday, leaves
no room for doubt that ample
preparations are being made by the Cen
trail for handling that crop along its lines
promptly and in a manner that will be
satisfactory to the growers. doubt
had been expressed as to whether the
management of the Central realized fully
its responsibility in connection with the
peach CROP which this year promises 20
be an unusually large one.
When Mr.. Egan's attention was called
to this expression of doubt he went over
the plans of the Central pretty thoroughly
for moving the crop, and, as far as an
outsider is able to Judge. the peach grow
ers will have no cause to complain of the
transportation facilities. They will be SUCH
as to enable them to reach all of the mar
kets of the country quickly.
Unless something occurs to injure the
crop, the country is going to be astonished
this year by Georgias output of peaches.
The quantity will be so great that there
will be scarcely a town, which can be
that will not we s'40py at a, reason
able price. The thlne lie growers will
have 90 look after carefully is to see that
no one of the markets is gutted. and the
price forced down below the profit line
We do not know what arrangements have
been made for wisely distributing the
fruit but it is reasonable to suppose that
q c.o,nr,,itfaa has CHARGE of that work II
would be folly to overstock New York and
other Eastern cities, while the cities of
the West and South were without an ade-
quate supply.
From what Mr.. Egan says we feel sat-
isfied in saying that the Central will be
prepared 10 do its part in distributing the
crop. 1t is for the growers to see that the
distribution is made with such Judgment
that the prices received Will be remunera-
tive.

How Vest Prepared.

Many persons who have read the eulogy
which Senator Vest delivered on Richard
P. Bland in the Senate chamber recently
have commented upon its finished charac-
ter, says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
in thought and diction the speech sug-
gests at once careful and elborate pre-
paration.
There are some sentences which the
reader can not but feel must have been
written again and again until the polish
was perfect. Then, too, the aptness of the
quotations from the scriptures would in
dictate that the Senator might have sat
with a concordance at his elbow. The eu-
logy was taken as the Senate heard 1t by
the official reporter, talked into the phono-
graph and transcribed with the type
writer. That was the first copy on paper
of the Senator's words. BY way of pre-
paration the Senator sat in his home and
thought of 1.-The great commoner' as he
had known him. Passages of scripture
dimly remembered came into the Sena-
tors mind. Turning to Mrs. Vest from
time to time, he asked how this and that
quotation ran. And Mrs Vest. who is
such a Bible scholar that she knows many
whole chapters by heart, gave the Sena-
tor the correct language. Thus the Sen
ator made ready to deliver the eulogy
which will go into the classics of the
United States Senate.

Didn't Accent the Office.

Ex-President Cleveland had something
to say the other evening in one of his lee
lures at Princeton about officeholGers, says

So this would seem to be good time to

that he and Grover were old friends, he
was confident that Grover would give
him some nice Office. In due time he reach
ed Washington and the President. but,
alas! his efforts to induce Grover to give
him any Office, foreign or domestic, prov
ed unsuccessful. Finally, in his despera-
ton. the Buffalonian said:
Now, look here. Grover; before leaving
home l told my friends thai I thought
youd give me something, and / hate. you
know, to go back empty-handed. l don't
care so much about getting office. but

His wisdom Saved Him.

We suppose Mrs. Dewey is now reprov
ing the naughty Kentuckians by saying
with uplifted finger, Here, now, II you
aren't good I won't let George come to
see you" says the Louisville Times. What
a terrible reputation we must have, but
there are some dauntless souls who refuse
to get scared or in whose nature profess
sional instinct conquers fear. There was
a pawnbroker here some years ago Of
whom they tell this tale. He was noted
for his strict attention to business. At
one time he was In one of the small noun
tain towns of the state visiting relative
who had opened a shop there. "Mein
uncle" amused himself strolling around
the place and chatting with the mer-
chants. Politics was a-bilin' just then,
and by some incautious remark he drew
down on his head the wrath Of a sturdy
mountaineer, who promptly grabbed him
by the throat and thrust an ancient pis-
toll in his face.
With his eyes bullying out of his head
"mein uncle gasped, vat! you wishes
monish on that? l would not gif you so
cents on that"
This bueiness-like remark saved him,
but he took the hint and struck out for
Louisville by the next train.

The Kings Expedient.
