London, Dec. 3.-All the London
morning papers comment with un-
bounded enthusiasm upon the abrupt
snub administered by Emperor Will
liam to Mr.. Kruger, which is all the
more noticeable when eontrasted with
the Boer statesman's successful visit
to France. The snub is regarded as
further evidence of the good relations
existing between Germany and Great
Britain. The official explanation Of
fered through the German press is
that steps had not been taken to as
certain whether Mr.. Kruger's visit
would be agreeable. The Boer dele
gates admit that they have received
a serious check. and Mr.. Kruger is said
to be extremely disheartened. There
is n rumor that he has been requested
to avoid Belgian territory.

Doer Statesman Notified That He

Berlin, Dec. 3.-Mr. Kruger has
abandoned his proposed visit to Ber'

intimation that Emperor William re-
grets that in consequence of previ'
Gus arrangements he will be unable
to receive him. The Boer statesman
will therefore proceed direct from
Cologne for Holland. He telegraphed
to this effect Sunday afternoon.
Williams Act Unexpected.
The significance of the stand taken
by the emperor is as tremendous as the
snub to the aged Boer chieftan was
unexpected. England and the enemies
of England alike had been waiting
eagerly to learn the nature of Ger
many's greeting to the exile. It's eff

verdict of Europe on the kaiser's ac-

Great Britain and of keenest disap-
pointment to Kruger's friends. who had
expected from Germany. if not the en-
thusiastic welcome that France had eN-

Visit Not Agreeable.
The Cologne Gazette, in an inspired
article, says:
Mr.. Kruger's visit Is not agreeable to
Germany, his aim being to obtain inter-
vention in South Africa. II would be n
grave political mistake. 1t would be even
a great crime, to allow him to entertain
even a spark of hope that Germany will
render him any practical support"
This declaration is accompanied
with reproaches, Mr.. Kruger being
charged with "having encouraged n
useless guerrilla warfare and having
disregarded Germany's advice when
he might have still followed it," The
press generally strikes the same note.
The emperor's intimation was con-
veycd to Mr.. Kruger by the German
envoy at Luxembourg, who arrived at

The Republican county ticket may
appear 'slow" in the eyesof its OPP
ponents. but there are certain
indications that it will be more
swift in the running than its enc
mics anticipate. In the first place,
the ticket is very satisfactory to
the country Republicans, who
made it and who are the strength
of the party, and what they have
made they will own and stand by.
In nominating this ticket by the
convention method there wes less
room for machine work than in the
primary method, and all who
wanted to try for a nomination
could do so. There was no exorb-
liant assessment to shut them out
Of the race. As we have said, it is
a ticket of the country Republi-
cans selection, nominated by a
method proposed by the candidates
for the party's favors themselves.
The town Republicans, whom our
Democratic friends usually term
the ring" kept hands off and let
the rank and file have free play in
making the nominations. 1t is a
ticket composed almost entirely of
men new in politics and clean of
record. For these reasons alone
it will win the party's support.

Railroad Survey.

For several weeks rumors have
been afloat concerning possible
railroad survey that was being
made from St. Louis south in the
direction of Flat River. Some
said the survey was going east of
this town, while others thought
that the whole thing was a myth.
But last Wednesday the engineer
in charge with a portion of his
corps of assistants reached this
town. The party was in charge of
Captain Thomas Doak, and from
this gentleman News representa-
tive obtained some information
concerning the prospective new
line. The survey is now made
from St. Louis to this place. The
intention is to run on the east side
Of the Mississippi, from East St.
Louis to Crystal City; here they
will cross the river and run direct
to Flat River. The route is said
to be the most feasible possible as
the grade will not exceed one per
cent, while the distance is if any
thing shorter than the M. r. & b.
T. line. As to who are back of
the enterprise we did not learn,
but sufficient information was OBJ
taiEed to warrant US in saying that
the Federal Lead Co. and possibly
the National-and mayhap one or
two others of the mining compan-
les of this district, are interested.
1t is known that the Federal Lead
Co. contemplate erecting great
smelling works in East St. Lonis,
and as their mines are located
here, this would give them a di-
rect line from the mines to their
smelters.
Mr.. Doak assured the writer
that no bonds would be issued but
that money was in sight to build
the line. Flat River would hail
the coming of another road with
delight.-Flat River News.

Bryan the Paramount Issue.

Of course the country is we'll
aware that Bryan is himself the
paramount issue. The Bryanite
papers concede this in saying that
the Republicans in declaring that
he would precipitate the country
to the silver basis if he were elect
ed are trying to start a panic.
The assumption that the fear of
Bryan's election would create a
panic Is correct, but the Democrat
ic papers are unwise in acknowl-
edging it. Every Democratic and
Populist paper of any prominence
says that Bryan is right in refusing
to answer the question as to
whether he would use silver in pay
ment of ''coin" debts if he were
elected. Secretary Gage has shown
that dishonest money President,
as Bryan would be if chosen,
could start a scare which would
send the country to the silver
basis. He could do this by pay
ing out silver for the ''coin''
obligations of the government. A
President like Mckinley could pay
silver without attracting any atten-
ton or exciting the slightest dis
trust, but Bryan would start a
run on the treasury and on the
banks by doing this. The reason
for this difference is that McKin.
ley and his party are pledged to
to preserve the gold standard,
while Bryan and his party which
backs him are making war on the
gold standard, and are doing their
best to destroy it.
Carl Shurz, who denounced
Bryan with as much emphasis al
any person in the country foul
years ago, but who is now apollo
gizing for him, and doing his bes'
to weaken Mckinley so that Bryan
can have some chance of election
calls Secretary Gage's1 warning tt
the country a questionable pro
ceeding." The secretary merely
told the people the peril ther'
would be in Bryan's triumph at tn,
polls. He pointed out that Bryan
could do an immense amount O
damage to the country without
getting a line of new legislation
He could, by stlainipg the presen
statutes, give silver the preference
to gold in paying the debts Of tn
government, and the result of thi
action, as everybody knows, woul.
be to make every one who has an,
gold notes rush to the treasury fol
their redemption. A raid on th'
treasury would produce q raid o.
the banks, and this shut up th
mills and factories, throw millions
of wage-earners out Of employment
and then the Democratic panic o

a larger scale.

Four years ago Bryan warned
every friend of the gold standard
to vote against him, saying that if
he were made President the gold
standard would be subverted just
as quick as he could find the way
to it. None of his hearers or read
ers doubted his word on that point.
The ground which he occupied on
the base money issue of 1896 he
stands on in 1900. He has many
times been asked if he would pay
out silver for ''coin" obligation of
the government if he were Presi-
dent, and he refused to answer.
He knows if he answers yes that
the honest money Democrats who
have been deluded into supporting
him this year will Immediately turn
against him. He knows if he says
no all the Populists and rotten
money advocates of all partisan
stripes will repudiate him. This is
why he lodges and shuffles on this
vital issue. His trickery, how
ever, will not deceive any intelli-
gent perscn. He will subvert the
gold standard if he is made Presi-
dent. The country is we'll aware
of this fact. Consequently his sill
ence and his straddling on the
money issue will not save him.
