RlMETALiLSM AND FREE COINAGE.

The Geographic reports state that Mr..
Bryan mentions silver in his political adj
dresses in the east. but fails to give the
language used when dwelling on that
topic. There is a wide linz of demarka-
ton between the 'silver question:" as an
abstract proposition. and the free coinage
of silver and gold at a ratio of is to l, by
the independent action of this nation.
The democrats advocated silver in 1892
and elected Cleveland. the eminent gold
lite. on a bimetallic platform. Many
prominent democrats talk glibly about
''bimetaliism'' and silver but that does
not necessarily imply free coinage at a
ratio of 16 to 1.
The Anaconda Standard, which,. next
to the Butte Times, is the most promi-
nent democratic paper in Montana, per-
sistently notifies the inhabitants of the
United States that it is solid for bimetal-
ism. But it has never satisfactorily ex-
planned why it declared that the ratio
Of 16 to 1 was immaterial to the restora-
ton Of silver. and that the relative values
of silver and gold are fixed by the worlds
exchanges. Even the Helena %Independ-
ent, which sits up nights trying to read
q prophecy of democratic victory in the
stars. and which has not had time to take
issue with the Standard on the ratio
business. has Of late abandoned such
pnnnrpfn to,,DN oc t.froo o;n -asS So 49,
more flexible one Of "bimetallism.' Both
these organs. therefore, are delighted to
earn that Mr.. Bryan is actually men,
tioning the "silver question" in his
speeches in the east.
1t is not in evidence. however, that the
erstwhile leader of the free coinage
forces is making any effort to project the
ratio Of 16 to l to the forefront, as the
paramount issue for the forthcoming
campaign. During the past year Mr..
Bryan has repeatedly stated that anti
Imperialism would be the paramount
issue Of the next campaign-that Is, it
would displace the issue of
1896. which, in the nature Of things would
relegate free coinage to the background.
1t is not at all likely that the colonel
will imperil his present chances for a re-
by changing the position that
made a reunion of the silver and gold |
a possibility. 1t has long beer
apparent that not only has Mr.. Bryan
been anxious to put the free coinage ratio
on the shelf in the interests of party har-
but that his anxiety is shared by
the democratic press of Montana, which !
is now happy in the advocacy of "bimet- |
allism.' In 1896 the word "bimetallism'
was looked upon with a degree of suspi- !
cion, unless it was supplemented with the |
free coinage ratio of Is to by the inde- |
pendent action of this nation.

A terrible fire occurred in Hull and
Ottawa, Canada last Thursday in
which nearly the entire city of Hull
was destroyed and several lives lost.
Five square miles were burned over.
more than $500 dwellings, factories,
mills, stores, etc. were burned with
loss estimated from fifteen to seven
teen millions dollars. 1t is estimated
that there from twelve to fifteen
thousand men, women and children
homeless in the city. After destroy
ing the greater part of Hull the fire
crossed the Ottawa river and caught
in the lumber piles on the brink of
of the river and swept through the
lumber yards and mills. The whole
of that part of Ottawa surrounding
the Canadian Pacific depot has been
swept by the flames.

Now that the gubernatorial contest
is in the Supreme Court, where de-
cision is promised at an early date,
the political turmoil that has agitated
Kentucky for so long has simmered
down sufficiently to enable the par
tisans to look forward and endeavor
to anticipate coming events. Granted
that the Supreme Court upholds the
Kentucky courts and decides for
Beckham, there will be another race
for governor this fall. The demo-
Gratis confidently expect that such will
be the case. The republicans, while
conceding nothing on this point, are
nevertheless preparing for a cam
paigu in a manner that betokens that
they rather believe the Supreme
Court will bold that the legislature is
the final judge Of gubernatorial con-
tests in the state, and that therefore
Beckham is governor. Beckham hav-
ing succeeded Goebel before the latter
had served two years, another cleo
ton this fall becomes necessary under
the Kentucky statutes governing this
point.

At a meeting of the Pure Butter
Protective Association Of Pennsylva
mia in Philadelphia last week resolu
tions were adopted calling on the
governor to remove the state dairy
and food commissioner and all of his
assistants for failing to enforce the
laws of the state. General Grout was
among the speakers to address the
convention. The North American,
has the following to say of his posi-
tion on the question of pure foods:
The next speaker was Congressman
w. w. Grout of Vermont, author of
the bill providing for restriction of
the illegal sale of oleomargarine now
pending in the house. Representa-
tive Grout have been prominent in
congress for many years as a foe to
oleom argarine and all other foodstuffs
manufactured and sold under false
representation, and the pending
measure has met with the unanimous
endorsement of farmers and pure
food advocates in all parts of the
country.

The Boston Transcript publishes the
following despatch from South Africa
It would appear that Gen. Roberts
attempt to clear the Boer raiders out
of the southeastern Free State is ia a
fair way to succeed, but he is as yet
unable to report that the retreat of
the enemy to the north has been cut
off, though General Rumble is hanging
on the rear of the fleeing forces and
may, with the assistance of French's
cavalry, succeed in rounding up some
of them or in capturing their baggage.
Wepener's besiegers have been forced
to retire and they are treading north
toward Ladybrand unpursued. 1t
seems likely, unless the British move
more quickly than they have recent
ly, that the main body of Beers will
succeed in effecting it's escape through
the wide meshes of Lord Roberts net.
If the burghers do slip past the sew
eral British columns sent to intercept
them they will again have demon
strated their wonderful mobility.
While the numerical strength of the
Beers is not accurately known, it is
safe to say that they are outnumbered
at least three to one by their direct
opponents. Lord Roberts present
movement extends over front sew
ty miles long, from Karee Siding to

THE APPEALS CONTINUE.

| We give in another column an
article sent us by John Young of New
port. 1t is addressed to the people of
the state and is an attack upon the
public services Of William w. Grout.
| This is the second attempt to boom
Mr.. Prouty for the senatorship by dis
| paraging Gen. CIRCUITS work but its
effect will be the same as that of the
first which certainly has not been
favorable to Mr.. Prouty's candidacy.
Mr.. Prouty has had practically no
support in the state from the first.
In his home county it would be ex-
pected that he would develop some
strength if anywhere, but he has no
following except in his own town and
there we feel safe in saying that it is
not strong. Gen. Grouts record in
the house during the past sixteen
years is too well known to the people
of Vermont TO be injured in the slight
est by these attacks of Mr.. Prouty
and his friends. His constituents know
that he has looked after the best in
terests Of his state and district at
every point, and besides this has been
prominent in National legislation,
while farmers Throughout the country
appreciate the work he is doing for
them in his present fight against the
oleomargarine interests.
Mr.. Young evidently feels badly
because the general has not devoted
more of his time to introducing bills,
but we believe that as he has never
been found lacking in interest in
anything pertaining to the welfare of
his state, Or in ability and influence to
secure the passage of all needed leg
islation, the voters Of the state will
deem it much safer to advance him
to the senate than in placing a man
there whose interests have been close
ly allied with those of the great rail
road corporations and whose only sup
port outside of his own town, and a
good part of it there, is from this
source.
From the following which we copy
from the Barre Telegram we judge that
this article, like the one written by
Mr.. Prouty, has been we'll distributed
over the state.
eve are in receipt of an interesting
folder from Senator John Young of
Newport, the able champion of the
railroads in their fight against the
people in the last legislature on the
milage bill, etc., in which he attacks
the record of ''W. w. Grout'' in con-
gress during the past sixteen years.
After careful perusal of this and the
Prouty documents we are led to en-
quire why w. P. Dillingham; and Sen
atOr Ross are entirely ignored by
these would-be Orleans county states
men, and all their heavy guns are
trained on Gen. Grout? Is he SO much |
in the lead that he is the only one /
they fear? This latest circular is post |
Bath, n. H. Why was an out |
of the state post office favored with (
this business? This folder has one
merit not Inherent in Commissioners
Prouty's. 1t is brief. John Young is
a far abler man than his townsman
whom he seeks to make united states
senator. But why do the railroads
want to defeat Gen. Grout? Have
their attornies joined hands with the
Oleo ring to defeat its hated oppo-
nent?''

ual attainments, Industrious, studious
habits, sound health, quick percep-
ton, integrity. good judgment, strong
patriotism, fearless independence and
great forensic powers? Where in the
state can you find a man who COM
bines these to greater degree than
the Hon. Charles A. Prouty?
