 If the democratic party is ever to regain the confidence of the conserva- tive people of this country it will be necessary for it to do something more than ignore the currency question and whip up some issue wholly apart from it. The Ohio device of keeping mum about silver or gold will not work in national Canvass. 1e the democratic party is for gold and against silver it will have to say so squarely.-N. Y. Sun.

&'The other side of the market" says Henry Clews in his weekly letter, however, presents some uncertain as- poets. The crop prospects are some what below early expectations, the corn and oat crops having already suf- fered serious injury, although it is not impossible, as said above, that the loss may be ill some measure repaired. The unrest in the labor market is having a disturbing effect upon public conh- dence. It would seem that the unions have, by a concerted understanding, resolved to make the great trust move ment the occasion for strengthening their positions and subjecting capital to demands which appear to the pub lie as somewhat unreasonable. The liberal attitude lately shown towards the operative classes, as q means or consolidating favor towards the great consultations, has had the effect oI emboldening some of the labor leaders, and the question has come to be wheth- CT the capitalistic combinations shall be subjected to q vast consolidated labor monopoly. The strike against the steel corporation is the boldest challenge with which labor has ever confronted capital; and it would seem that the last thing that the trust can afford is to show any timidity or evince any disposition towards conces- sion to the present arbitrary demand, beyond the fair and liberal spirit al- ready shown Any spirit of concilia- ton shown by capital under present conditions can, from the very nature of things, have no other effect than to stimulate aggression from labor, and the recent large voluntary advances in wages have undoubtedly had that re- suit. Compromise between the two sides is Impossible; either the one party or the other must hold dis tinct ascendancy of power, and it would seem that we are verging upon the crisis which will determine where the victory shall rest. Whilst this crucial conflict rests in the balance there can be no rampant bull stock market"

CAPTURING A PASSENGER.

 T like perseverance in man-even in a hacllman, began Peterson, 'sand there is one particular Jehu doing busi- ness i'll Washington, D. C., who pos sesses that quality in the superlative degree.
 When l visited the capitol city 1 had my mind fully made up to have nothing to do with the hacSmen; so when 1 stepped off the train and a crowd of these gentry began shouting at me, I simply shook my head and passed on. One of them, however, was not to be thus easily disposed of. Dancing around in front of me, so as to block my progress, he yociferated. Hack, mister? Take you to the Washington monument or the capitol? :? Only half d dollarr'

 .'Still 1 shook my head.
 Arlington and Fort Myer? Drive you over and back for two dollars.' s'As before, 1 responded with a shake of the head.
 Navy yard or Soldiers home? Either place for dollar!''
 Another shake of the head.
 Want to go to the White house and see the president? Drive you right there for fifty cents.
 More head shaking.
 Patent office or state department? :? Same price as the White houset
 Another shake, mind you, all this time hadn't opened my mouth or ut tered a word, and from the puzzled fl1p 1,ao o1-, ,,se, e. IA had him about discouraged; but as showed past him, thinking to make my escape, his countenance suddenly frightened up.
 By George, I've hit now. I'll try him just once moreH And then running around in front of me again, he spelled cut on his fingers, in the deaf and dumb alphabet, with which I chanced to be familiar. Deaf and Dumb Asy- um? Take you right to the door for quarter!'-Exchange

Speaking of Englands trouble in its war with the Boers, writer in New York paper talks as follows: To-day it is the struggle with no great empire, but with a handful of Dutch farmers, that she is engaged, and the contest has shaken her power to the center. She has been made to feel the perils of her position as never since the French camp at Boulogne threatened an invasion by the veterans of the Revolution. She has rushed into q war which united against her more than half the peoples of Europe. She has found that her administration is incoherent and ineffective, her gen. .erals incompetent, her foresight baf- fled. She has lost the insight into situ- ations and tempers, which lifts the real statesman to the level of the prophet The day of no judgment has come upon her. Why asks Canon Scott Holland, was there no Englishmen whatever, who, two years ago. could read the heart of the Boer? No one detected his reserves of stub born idealism-his capacity for heroic self surrender to lost cause, his will nngness to surrender all he has on earth, and to die in his last ditch., It is easy to see why. The temper culti- yated by the English people is that of sneery depreciation of whatever and whoever neither fatter their vanity nor excite their fear. England has be- come the land of the sheer, as Irish men know better than any other peo- pie, though no better than Americans knew. fifty years ago. She has come to despise her enemies and even her friends, until her own beneficiaries- Belgium and Portugal-have deserted her cause. She has lost the power of sympathy with any ideas. institutions or interests but her own. and there fore she has alIenated the civilized world"

Hon Charles $. Francis, widely known in the journalistic world as edi- tor of the Troy, New York Times, and now United States minister to Greece, Roumania, and Servia, is in Washing ton on leave of absence. He brought with him the draft of an extradition treaty with Roumania., which this gov ernment has been trying to secure for some years. As he was secretary to his father. when that gentleman was minister to Greece some twenty five years ago, MT Francis observations on the difference between then and now have practical value. He said: There is marked difference in the treatment accorded to all Americans in-the Le- van now from what there used to be. The people of Southern Europe at pres ent seem to have much greater respect for the citizens of the United States than they had in the 70s, and American goods are rapidly finding markets in that section of the world, which many years ago was closed to them. There is one great need. however, and that is a .line of steamships between ports in the United States and ports of the Mediterranean. I believe that there is an excellent opportunity for the investment of capital in such a steamship line, and my conviction is that it would result in largely increas- ing our trade, as we'll as enable Us to secure the lowest possible freight rates. American agricultural machinery is finding ready sale in southern Europe Almost every vessel which now departs for ports on the Mediterranean carries some. At present, however, all this carrying trade, or most of it, is done in foreign bottoms"

FROM WACONDA SPRINGS.
A Mineral Water Already Becoming
Famous.

Beloit, Kas., Nov. 2s.-The marketing
of water from the famous Waconda
springs, located in Mitchell county, has
already developed into quite an ex-
tensive business, although no system
attic effort was made in this direction
until last August, since which time
offices have been established in Kansas
City and the water is now on sale in all
the leading drug stores and cafes there.
and also in Leavenworth, Atchison, and
ST Joseph. The trade with the prin-
cipal towns in Oklahoma has reached
considerable proportions, and arrange
ments are now being made to place it
on sale in ST. Louis and other cities
in the Mississippi valley. AS soon as
the necessary machinery can be pro-
cured the bOttling plant will be en-
larged and improved and the water Will
then be shipped in carloads. Mr.. L. T.
Burnham, of Reloit, who acted as at
tOrney for the present owner of the
property during the several years when
it was the subject of litigation, has the
general management of the springs. and
proposes to push the sale of the water
until it is sold throughout the country.
