"sTEvEY'S SLUMP"

"STEVEYS SLUMP"
There need be little regret wast>
ed upon A. M. Stevenson. He has
gone his natural way.
While he was poor man, there
was a chance of keeping him in
plumb with the silver republican
line, but when he struck it rich in
the Doctor Mine and became a
prospective, if not an actual mills
lionaire, the day Of his political
break>up came. 1t was as natural
that he should then gravitate to
the administration republican ranks
as that the birds should mate in the
spring.
There is none Of the martyrs
make up about "Stevey." He has
always made practice Of looking
out for "Stevey" first and for easily
worked friends second. He was
for silver while silver was the
watchword, and against it when its
popularity ceased.
He first came into prominence
by hanging to the coat tails Of
Senator Wolcott, who with all his
faults is in a class apart and above
"Stevey." After planting himself
securely by the senator's good Of
fees, "Stevey" turned on his bene-
factor, much as he now dumps the
party whose head he was and
which has honored him far beyond
his deserts.
In the St. Louis convention of
1896, after he had quarreled with
Senator Wolcott, "Stevey" saw his
chance and grasped it. He there
attached himself to the coat tails OF
Senator Teller, just as he had
dangled after Senator Wolcott. The
worst that can be said OF Senator
Teller is that he is gullible, and
"Stevey" worked him to a finish.
The senator, being honest himself,
looks for honesty in others, but in
"Stevey" he was leaning on a
broken reed, as he ought to have
known long ago.
AS the result OF his association
with the silver republican party,
which he now deserts and discred>
its, "Stevey" has been able to keep
himself as large>sized luminary
before the public for four years;
has kept his sisters and his aunts
and his cousins and numerous fem>
mime non>relatives in lucrative pos
itions; has been able to practically
dictate the operations of the treas
urer's, auditors and state insurance
departments Of state. swung alarge
section Of Denver politics and
maintained strong following in
every county of the state. From
the small railroad attorney and
ward politician he suddenly SWELL
ed INTO senatorial proportions, and
all through the reflected glory of
that good and sincere man, Senator
Teller.
If "Stevey" is honest in his dec
larations, why has he been so solic>
itous to have silver republican
preferredly Teller-nominated for
governor? If he could not follow
the democratic party on the imper>

The Russian Loan.

The most Interesting bit Of financiering
on a considerable scale which has come 10
our attention so far this year is the Eus-
sian loan just foated in New York. The
Cars Government has placed an issue of
twenty-five million dollars. four per cent
bonds. with a syndicate composed of lead
ing banks and trust and insurance COM
panies. the security being 4 first mortgage
on the Waldikawkas Railway. a peculiar
feature of the transaction is that the
money realized from the sale of the bonds
is not remitted 10 Europe but remains in
this country, subject to the order of the
Russian financial agent who will check
against it TO pay for the railway and
bridge material and equipment which the
St. Petersburg Government is buying Law
ishly from American manufacturers.
Countries. like individuals. always find
it easy to live on terms of amity and good
fellowship with each other when they ara
doing business together to their mutual
satisfaction and advantage. 1t is said that
Russia of late has not found theNcapitalists
of England France. Germany. and Holland
in very responsive mood when fresh Mus
covite loans have been suggested and this
fact may in part nave led the Cars Min
lister of Finance TO look across the water
for financial assistance. Probably he hat
made a most excellent bargain for his
master. Whether it will have any effect
in promoting railway developments in a
direction not Immediately contemplated in
the arrangement is perhaps an interesting
question. or might be were the field quits
clear for the prosecution Of an enterprise
which Russia is understood TO have very
much in view.
For instance, a good many tons of rails
and not a few bridges. locomotives, and
cars can be bought for twenty-five million
dollars. We suppose that the supplies of
all kinds which are being bought in the
United States primarily are intended for
the Trans-Siberian Railway In an emer-
gency. it is possible that they might be di-
verted TO serve the purposes of line
through Persia to the port of Bandar Abb
has. Stranger things have happened.

The Cuban Question.

1t is a thing seldom if ever likely to
occur that this journal should find itself
agreeing with any public utterance deliv-
cred by Mr.. Richard Olney, of Cleveland
Administration and Arbitration Treaty
fame; but, in that gentleman's paper on
expansion, published in the current num-
ber of the Atlantic Monthly" he has
something to say regarding American re-
lations with Cuba, which is not without
sound sense.
Mr.. Olney asserts that Cuba is a possess
sion of the United States today, in every
thing but name, and that it ought to be
made so legally aud finally without delay,
in the Joint interests Of both countries.
He calls upon Congress to enact the leg
islation necessary to provide for annexa-
ton, and expresses the strong conviction
that plebiscite submitted to the Cubans
at this time would be carried for union

CIRCULATION STATEMENT.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2S, 1900.
The Porto Ricnn Bill.

According 10 prominent Administration
newspapers the chief consideration which
finally reconciled the President to the
Payne bin. notwithstanding the direct and
open violation Of the Constitution proposed
in its terms, was that as long as the
money wrung from Porto Rico by means of
an illegal tariff was to be spent for the al
legged benefit of the island, the result
would be tantamount to free trade as orig
inally contemplated before the oil, sugar,
tobacco, and rum trusts put their veto up
on the Presidential purpose.
Mr. Mckinley is in error if he considers
a fifteen per cent of Dingley tariff, with
the resulting revenues to be spent in
works Of charity or necessity by Ohio Of
hcehOlders. as exactly the equivalent Of
free trade. The Porto Ricans declare that
under such an arrangement they would be
worse off than the people of Trinidad.
British possession with which We have
reciprocity treaty, more equitable to the
foreigners than the Payne iniquity is to an
insular part OF the United States.
An additional reason why the President
became 'reconciled" is said to lie in the
gravity of the Philippine question as it re-
lates to the interests of the trusts and mo-.
nopoiies. The Administration realizes that
having demanded equal rights with Europe
in China, Europe may very properly eK-
pect us 20 open the door TO our Eastern
possessions. Should We permit fee
trade between the United States and
the archipelago, which we are bound TO in
