deemable in gold. Only one other
thing is left to be e-stop the coin
age of gold, aud doubtless it will be
done as soon as the people rest, unless
the republican party loses its grip.
II you stop the coinage of gold the
population and volumes of business
going on to increase the value or
purchasing power of the dollar must
expand to cover it, And the main
profit in money is its constantly appre-
citation of purchasing power, which of
course means falling prices for every
thing else.
When the financial bill was passed
the "money squeeze" came to sudden
STOP and there seemed to be no neces-
sity for squeeze" to force the law
making silver dollars redeemabe in
gold; nor to force anything else the
money power wants the republican
party to do along their lines. But in
the making of these laws the party has
not only put itself, but any other party
that may come into power in magnif-
cent shape to be squeezed" We not
only have greenbaek endless chain, but
also the silver endless chain, and the
only way out, according to republican
wisdom, is to retire them both, that is
l to destroy them. And perhaps well NJ

Senator Tillman may have opened
the way for many southern veterans Of
the Mexican war to get on the pension
rolls when he succeeded in getting a
bill pensioning Jim Thomas,a Mexican
veteran, which had passed the senate
through the house, by swearing that
not another private pension bill should
go through the senate until it was
passed. 1t is claimed that its passage
is practically a repeal Of the law bar

Senator Morgan, in the minority re-
port of the committee on foreign re-
lations on the resolution declaring that
the ratification of the Hay Pauncefote
treaty is not condition precedent to
the construction of the Nicaragua Canal
and that the United States should pro-
ceed with that work regardless of the
Clayton Bulwer agreement, which was
adversely reported by a party vote,
makes the positive charge that Mr.. Nc
Kinley caused the resolution to be ad-
versely reported. Concerning the in
ffuence of Mr.. Mckinley with the re-
publican members of the committee,
and his right to say what is expedient
for them to do, Senator Morgan said;
'This claim was made in the commit
tee, and his (Mr. McKinley's) views as
to the expedisncy of action were stated
as grounds of objection to the resolu.
tions. From this view Of the duty Of
the senate, I wholly dissent" Many
republican senators who haye claimed
to be for the Nicaragua Canal are now
under suspicion. The claim that &C
ton on any legislation, relating to thu
Nicaragua Canal while the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is pending would b,
discourteous to England, is a yer!

Another method OF extravaganza,
which has hourished under this admin
istration is connected with the enorm-
GUS expenses piled up by some of the
departmental bureaus. For instance,
when congress provided for the bureau
of animal industry of the department
of agriculture, it provided for one chief
at $3, 600 year, one clerk at $500 and
twenty inspectors at $40 a day. The
expenses of that bureau during the last
fiscal year, as shown by the official
figures, have grown to nearly a million
dollars as follows: Salaries, 1850, 800.

A False Prophet.

Quite awhile ago We "prophesied"
that there would be row in Cuba at
the first general election. There was
then talk of limiting the franchise SO
as to knock good part of the an
surgents" out of their votes. In the
election of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention this limitation was
not made and the insurgents had every
thing their own way; and of course they
had no occasion to let up. But now
that the constitution is framed there is
again talk among the Cubans of fght
unless it stands as they have made it
and they are allowed to force an entire
ly independent government under it.
For all interests this is but continue
ton of the general election in which
the delegates were chosen. The cleo
ton was nothing unless the work of the
convention held water. And that is
what the Cubans seem disposed have it
do, OF else.
Our republican paper says that in
the Spanish treaty we assumed the OBJ
legation TO "advise" the Cubans to GER
tain things. Well, we guess the Gu
bans will not eight" on account OF
this advice, unless we undertake to
force them to take it. Again this paper
says we are bound to the Monroe doc
trine to defend Cuba. against Europe,
and therefore they should allow us
coaling stations, etc., and TO have
charge of their foreign relations. The
argument being that Cuba has no navy
that can stand out against Europe.
Does the astute editor understand
that the same argument would justify
this country in taking charge of the
foreign relations of ali the South Amer,
lean republics, and ever Mexico? And
these republicans seems to understand
that whatever claims we make as tc
Cuba we, later on, will make as tc
them. Hence the Southern coalition
to defend themselves against US, and
hence they might make common cause
with Cuba in defending herself If she
found it necessary to join the coalition
Our astute republican editor had al
we'll understand now as at any othel
time that the Monroe doctrine can't b,
made the excuse of taking other govern
ments without their finding it out ant
making vigorous protest against it
The republican editor will hardly be d
successful in fooling other people as h,
is in fooling this people. The Cuban
and the others will not see much ad
vantage to them in being defended
against Europe if they are to begobblet
up by this country. It is independence
they want and not dependence. Ant
possibly there will be row ON if the
| Mckinley administration fail to under
stand this.
Another prophecy which may hav'

All the extravaganza Of the republi-
can congress is not connected with big
appropriations, although they make
the most fuss and are naturally heard
the most of. During the debate on the
general deficiency bill it was shown
that sinecures were thick as peas in q
pod. 1t was shown that committee
clerks, the moment they do real work,
use their pull with members to get ex-
ira pay therefor, and that they have
been succeeding in getting much mon
ey in the shape of gratuities simply be-
cause nobody made it his business to
oppose these petty raids ON the public
fund. The clerk of one committee
claimed, and will get $1,000 extra fol
reading proof of testimony taken by
his committee. Clerks Of the pension
bureau, detailed to help the pension
committees of congress, are presented
with 5000 each in additiod to theil
regular salaries, and clerks who have
copied few pages from the congress
sional record in regular office hours
are given from $500 to $4,000 each fol
extra work. A little dialogue between

Credit will be due to democrats in
congress for whatever reduction of war
taxes the country gets. The republic
cans fully intended to kill the bill in
conference, but when they found out
that all of the democrats in the house,

jority were determined to head off that
scheme, the leaders at once ordered
that a compromise be patched up in
