In his second letter to Mr.. Gage, MIR.
scnurz returns to his proposition for fur
Their remedial gold standard legislation by
Congress next winter in case of Mr. Bry-
ans election and says:
Whatever those who insist upon the
necessity of Mr.. Mckinley's reelection for
the preservation of the gold STANDARD may
say, my parliamentary experience teaches
me that If you, as Secretary OF the Treas
ury. prepare a simple measure or rene
dial legislation and have 1t introduced IN
Congress Oh the first day of the session,
and the ma jority presses it with "A sincere
determination to use all legitimate means
to overcome obstructive tactics the three
months of the session will be more than
sufficient to put through such bill.
Mr.. Schurz's parliamentary experience
ended little over a quarter of century
ago The rules of the Senate, It is true,
remain the same but since Mr. Schurz' 3
day the possibilities of a filibuster under
them have been pretty fully developed.
Does he not recall how the Lodge national
election bill was defeated ten years ago,
although 1t had passed the House and
majority of the Senate was in favor of 1t?
Does he not recall the fact that 1t took
nearly three months to repeal the par
chasing clause of the Sherman silver act in
1saa. although a majority of the Senate,
composed Oh fepuDhttES Liz ueipoSitf'''
was in favor of repeal? Those two con-
tests plainly showed how very strong the
minority in the Senate Is whea 1t plants
itself firmly upon the right OF debaie I'M
der rules which prevent fixing a limit to
debate except by unanimous consent.
There is still another point. 1t is ques-
ton whether the particular legislation sug-
gested by Mr.. Schurz could have been made
a part of the legislation of last spring.
There is no reason to believe that it was
purposely omitted. The debates show no
apprehension by the republicans of the
existence OF any gold democrats who were
figuring on going over to Mr.. Bryan as soon
as they had secured all that was possible
IN the way of sound money legislation from
the republicans. The measure ed was,
as is usually the case, compromise. it
represented about all that the republicans
could in the circumstances put through.
Had they fought for the feature that Mr..
Schurz now proposes, they would undou5t-
eddy have provoked a filibus.ar that might
have carried the day even at the long
session and defeated the whole measure.
Mr.. Gage might make a counter PROPOSE
assistance of Mr.. Schurz, is elected. and
Mr.. Gage sends to Congress a bill drafted
as Mr.. Schurz outlines. and asks his friends
in Congress to try to pass It, will he, Mr..
Schurz. use his influence with his newly
found allies, Messrs. Teller, Cockrell. AL
len. Pettigrew. ct al, to prevent q filibuster
against it? Mr.. Schurzs allies would be
the only ones against the bill.

One Touch of Nature.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

f0I11 the "efnPnis Cohmefciaf Appeal.
The appalling catastrophe that has WIS.,
tied the beautiful city of Galveston and
lesser places around the gulf coast has
brought into full view the broad and
sensitive sympathy of the American peo-
pie. Other countries and peoples are gem
erous and charitable, but none act so quick
ly. There is no waiting, no hesitatinR
no asking for details The fact once an
nounced that section of the country has
been devastated and that communities Of
people are suffering Is enough. Instantly
every hand goes down in the pocket for
relief. and words of cheer and encourage
ment are sent out to the afflicted. There
is no "enemy's country" Every section
feels the pang and the loss and does what
1t can to alleviate suffering. It is that
touch of nature that makes the whole world
kin. 1t Is the assertion of the noblest sem
tIment In American nationhood

One of the first principles for the guidance
of conspirators is that faith should be kept
with fellow-conspirators. Webster Davis
evidently forgot this when he began to use
an official subordinate as figurehead for
his pro-Boer agitation in this city months
ago. He neglected to hold his colleague in
filibustering true to him and the cause,
selfishly assuming the central position, and
presumably. the largest part of the usu-
fruct AS a consequence his former asso-
ciate has turned on him in revenge and dis
gust and is 'peaching, to the intense
amusement Of the country and, doubt
less. the embarrassment of the former
assistant secretary of the interior. The
statement by Thielkuhl makes most inter-
esting reading, In the light of Davis dra-
matte conversion to the popOcracy, when
he became overwhelmed with his emo
lions as to forget the name of his new idol
1t Is easy now to understand the motives
which led the American official to seek rec
reation and rest from his labors in the
war-ridden republics of South Africa. The
CLINT of Boer gold could be seen even from
Washington. Poor Thielkuhl was neces-
sary in the first stages to give the Beers an
Impression of great activity on the part of
Davis. They looked for something more
belated lectures. They could not see how
ridiculous was the Thielkuhl army They
could not measure their chief agent, then
working in the dark. pulling wires from
behind the cOat-tails of dupe. 1t is not
of record whether they took his measure
when later he appeared among Them posed
as an influential American statesman. and
promised them revulsion of sentiment
when he should return and open the flood
gates Of his oratory. It Is not known
whether the kimberley shares" or other
commodities were forthcoming. 1t is Gear,
however, that whatever there was in the
way of recompense Thielkuhl got none of
it. Nothing is known as yet of the where
examined by Thielkuhl when they had re-
spOnded to the advertisement so carefully
worded by Davis. Did they organize
Did Davis lead them to the Transvaal?
Did they get their diamond mine stock?
Where are they now? Thus many collat-
eral questions remain to be answered. Mr..
Davis will probably not answer them. He
will doubtless deny all knowledge Of Thiel-
kuhl, all connection with the army of min
ers and all fiscal relations with the Beers.
to do otherwise, quite out of acord with his
position as champion of liberty and newly
converted popocrat.
But isn't it up to Webster to say some
thing?

The Threatened Miners Strike.

In our observation there has not before
obtained so excellent a relation as at pres
ent between the coal miners and their en-
ployers. In the first place there has been
plenty Of work, which il a fundamental
requisite If the men are to be satisfied in an
industry which is governed by the scale.
In the second place the prevailing wages
have been good and the consequent earn
ings large.
We assume that the United Mine Workers
are justified in their prediction that the
coming strike will be the most disastrous
and ruinous In the history Of the coal trade.
1t will also be the most inexcusable and an
immense body of men will have to pay a
fearful and unmerfted penalty for their
share in gratifying the selfish ambitions of
one or two professional agitators.

soon as the American voters have expressed
their will upon the question Of retention or
withdrawal, now pressed by Mr.. Bryan AS
long as the possibility of withdrawal In
favor of a protectorate over a native gov
eminent Il held out to the radical Tagal
leaders they will foster the brigandage
which now masquerades as organized revolt
against American authority. AS soon as
this country has decided. however, to re-
tain the sovereignty 1t is almost certain
that the armed opposition to our authority
will diminish rapidly. until there remains
only the usual degree of lawlessness to be
found In any community.

In his line in the community Is too small

His pride Is not forgot.

OF any case are heard,
And wild commotion far and wide
By what he says is stirred.
He vows the country will be doomed
To ruin like as not
The very worst must be assumed
BY Mr.. Thomas Rot.
He says the world Is on the verge
OF chaos all complete.
The nations honor will submerge
Meath rancor and deceit.
The public will be victimized
BY some gigantic plot:
He leaves us gloomy and surprised
Does Mr.. Thomas Rot.
There was happy time when he
Was but merry sprite,
Whose ant!c gambols, light and free,
Would fill US with delight.
Oh. for that day when laughter bland
Was brought to every spot,
When he was not ambitious and
Was just plain Tommy Rot
