The End of the Silver CUES
ton.
Daily States.

Daily States.
The action of the Ohio Demo-
cratic convention has convinced
the country that the free silver
question viii not appear again as|
an issue for at least many years to
come, and that the rank and file OF
the Democracy which supported
Mr.. Bryan through two disastrous
campaigns, now recognize that he
is no longer available as a leader
and must step aside. Even the
Populists realize that the silver
sssue!is dead fpr>it was only a few
days ago that ex-senator Marion;
Butler, of North Carolina, chair
man of the National Populist Com
mittee, declared that in 1904 the
Populist party will nominate an
independent presidential ticket,
and the money question will not
have . place in the platform. That
question he believes has been eli
minated because of the present
prosperous conditions and album
dance of currency.
The independent press of the
country is praising the action ia
ken by the Ohio Democrats IN
their State convention, because it
is accepted as evidence that the
party is determined to drop play
ei-out issues and leaders and is
returning to the fundamental prin-
ciples of Democracy and safer
ground. In refusing to iudorse
Bryan and the Chicago platform,
the Democratic convention of
Ohio was not manipulated by wire
pullers, because If the truth were
told by the leaders they would say
that at the Kansas City conven-
ton hast year, the sentiment was
in favor of throwing silver over
board and this would have been
done had not Mr.. Bryan insisted
ON keeping it to the front as an
issue. The Democratic party was
in such q condition at the time
that it apparently could not dc
without Mr.. Bryan as a leader
and was obliged to accept him on
his own terms. In this respect
the party stood toward him very
much as it did toward Mr.. Cleve.

NOT PROVEN.

The charges against missionaries for
looting in China will have to be very
much better substantiated than they
are 10 make the well balanced minds of
the world believe them. Missionaries
Of course are no different from any
other people in the world, they have
their good and their bad members, but
that they should have got into their
ranks by a curious centipetal force all
the scoundrels and none of the good
men, is hardly tenable.
The men and women who have been
acting as missionaries in China have
Sheen, in the main, most devoted people.
They have considered, however mis-
taken their ideal may be from one point
of view, or however exalted the ideal
may be from another point of view
that their duty lay in exposing them
selves to insult and contumely, if re-
quired. Some of them, many of them
both Roman Catholic and Protestant
have sealed their faith by their death,
others have but just escaped death.
To begin to charge such people with
appropriating the property of others,
to hurl insults upon such people as a
body by stating that they have syste-
matically sold the property and have
urged their converts to loot in order
10 obtain more goods to sell, is to draw
too largely upon human credulity to
warrant belief.
There may have been acquisitive
men who disgraced their profession by
doing the acts that are charged but
one wants very much better evidence
than has as yet been brought forward
Any one who knows anything of fana-
ticism one way or another knows how
easy it is to set such tales afloat, how
difficult it is to run them down and
prove them untrue.
The Star would rather take the char
liable view that there is utter untruth
in some cases and probable miscon-
ceptiOn in others. When the embassies
were defended against the Chinese, the
defenders certainly looted all the shops
in the vicinity in order to make sand
bags, and the costlest silks were re-
questioned for this purpose. This was
an act of war, perfectly justifiable, it
may be the basis for some of these
stories

ROSEBERY'S NAPOLEON.

There has been a great deal of Ma
poleonic literature published. To go to
public library such as is to be found
in Paris, London or st. Petersburg,
there will be found shelves upon shelves
of history, of memoirs, of pamphlets,
shelves of adulatiOn, of abuse, of efforts
after justice, or efforts TO pervert JUS
tice, of truths hard to verify, of half
truths and of actual lies. The litera-
ture is undoubtedly volumnous, and
prejudice even to the present day is
strong. Lord Rosebery, an English
gentleman who has earned political
prestige as brilliant speaker and think
er, if he has ~~+ proved a successful
leader, has written a book upon Napo-
leon which has certainly commanded
the attention of France, England and
America and largely the continental
nations of Europe.
Lord Rosebery entities his book
"Napoleon-The Last Phase" 1t is
with the closing years of Napoleons
life upon the Atlantic rock that Lord
Rosebery deals. He takes the journals
of those who We're the attendants upon
Napoleon in those dreary years of his
life, compares them, winnows them,
shows what an atmosphere of lies had
been fostered by the peculiar condi-
lions of life upon the Island and finally
gives a picture which touches the heart,
though it is uncunvincing that any
thing else could have been done, than
was done, but he shows how much bet
ter it could have done if it was newt
able that it should be done,
Lord Rosebery does not spare the Off
Gals of the day, but he puts the respon-
sibility upon Lord Bathurst, the Crown
Minister, instead of upon the subor-
dinate officials i'm St. Helena. But at
the same time the author shows what
was the condition of mind which
brought about some of this conduct.
The Napoleonic wars had cost immense
sums in both blood and treasure. The
sending of Napoleon TO Elba had SEEM
ed to clear the air, then came the hun
bred days tearing Europe from one end
TO the other. Under such circumstances
Lord Liverpool, Prime Minister when
the end came wrote to the Foreign Sec
rotary 1--WE wish that the King of
France would hang or shoot Buona-
parte as the best termination Of the
business" This was a brutal phrase,
but it must considered along with the
provocation.
What Lord Rosebery has done for
history in his book, is 10 strip away
prejudice and try to show us the rea-
sons why certain things occurred, the
impossibility of acting otherwise than
was done but the utter lack of tact in
carrying out an unpleasant task. AS
he very justly says it was most I'M
wise on the part of the British Gov
eminent to undertake the task OF
guarding the Emperor, but at the same
time had he been handed over to any
other power his chances Of life would
have been small,

The Federal Authorities should look
after vessels like the schooner Twilight
which went to sea a few days ago in
an utterly unseaworthy condition. As
time goes on we shall have any amount
of crazy vessels infesting the territorial

strong hand laid upon their owners,
The scandals of the sea have been
aired in every Ocean port, and where
ever the Stars and Stripes flies, there
is power enough to make the evil doors
feel mighty uncomfortable in the pit of

violations of Uncle Sans shipping laws
since the Islands have been annexed,
and because they have not yet been
prosecuted that does not mean that
they will not be. In a few weeks we
may look up for a considerable shake

The hot stone walking affair proved

huna float from the Pail top to the low
Ell ground of Koolau and one might go

is credulous. 1t is so credulOus that
men who profess to call themselves

without properly safe guarding them
selves to prevent being taken in.
