SILVER IS DOOMED.
Even in the Bcnighted C0untrics
Where Trade StnGnntes Ii Is
Passing Away.

In the Philippine islands there is a
currency problem 1t has been pre-.
cipitated by the recent depreciation in
the price of silver. A permanent solu-
tion of il will not be attempted at this
session of congress, but some remedial
legislation will be passed that will re-
lieye the distressing conditions ere ated
by it. The lesson of the industrial dis
organization now prevailing III all
countries using a silver standard is
that silver must everywhere speedily
give way to gold, says the Brooklyn
Eagle Cnd.). The United States will
OF necessity lead the way by etfecting
a change in the currency system Of
their colonial dependencies in the
farthest Pacific, and Mexico is expect
ed to follow suit with a promptness
that will bring China, India and the
straits settlements readily into line.
The necessity Of securing promise
Of common and definite action against
silver is the real reason WHY the con
gress will not comprehensWely dis
cuss the proposed currency substitu,
tjon during this session. The cooper
alton of China and Mexico is earnestly
desired, and while The eudhcsiouoft these

side of his state and by some in it.
Even his candidate for governor, Bird
S. Coler, took pains during the can
vass to say that he did not favor that
expression. German has very few
friends among the masses of the
democrats, and Cleveland, who is
mentioned in connection with the
candidacy by few democrats, is iIn-
possible, of course.
Moreover, the democrats have no
issue, so far as the country has been
able to learn, which would raise up
n leader or attract any considerable
number of voters. They have been
forced to drop silverism, militarism
and imperialism, they dare not make
a fight on the tariff, and there is no
issue for them in the trusts, for the
republicans have preempted that
question. The outlook for the demo-
Gratis was never darker two years be-
fore a presidential election than it is
at this time. Their party is so de-
moraliZed and discrcdited, in fact,
that it is of no use even as an opposi-

There Is Nobody To-Day Dema n ding
Free Trade, what Is to lie
DOnef

The democratic leaders are gener-
ally agreed that the tariff will be a
leading, if not the leading, issue in next
years campaign. They are preparing
for the fray with that idea very firmly
fixed in their minds. But what will be
their demand in the premises? How
far will they propose going in the mat
ter of revising the present scedules?
For years, says the Washington
Star, the democratic party was known
as the party of free trade. Men like
Mr.. Watterson, Mr.. Mills, Mr.. Vest,
Mr.. Russell, of Massachusetts,, and the
late Frank Hurd of Ohio, all avowed
free trade principles. And they were
very influential in shaping their party's
course on the tariff. Mr.. Watterson in
two national conventions defeated an
effort to straddle the issue. He in
sisted on straightout declaration,
and got it, Mr.. Cleveland's success in
1884 was achieved not so much because
of any specific declaration of his party
in its platform as because of the divid-
ed sentiment of the republicans re-
specting Mr.. Blaine.
But in 1892 Mr.. Cleveland was elected
on a platform which promised tariff
reform, in heroic form. At last, it
see med, we were to have a measure
which should express to the country
the meaning of 16 years of vigorous
tariff agitation. Ten thousand lead

DEMOCRATS HAVE NO CHANCE.
Without an Issue and without a
Leader, the Outlook for Them
Never Was Darker.

The Boston Herald, which has no
bias against the democracy, has been
looking over the ground, and says it
cannot see any chance for that party
to carry the country in 1904. 1t looks
at that 1877 majority against the DEM
ocrats in the electoral college in
1900. knows that the ma iority would
have been much bigger in 1902 if Il
president had been elected this year,
and does not understand ROW they
can escape defeat by very large adj
verse vote two years hence. The Her
aid is not exhibiting any feeling in
the matter, but tells this as n contri-
button to the political philosophy of
the time, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Many other intelligent newspapers
are in the same quandarv as our Bos-
ton contemporary. In fact, very few
democrats, it is safe to say, look for
victory for their party in 1904 No
leader is in sight around whom the
bulk of the democrats would rally.
Bryan has his own faction, but most
of the democrats east of the Missis-
sippi are against him. and he himself
does not look for another nomina-
tion. Hill has been discredited by
the defeat in New York. and by the
socialistic coal plank in his state
platform. which was denounced by
many representative democrats out

FIVE BOYS KILLED.
Were struck by an Express Train
While CoastIng Down Hill.

South Bethlehem, Pa, Jan. 10
Five boys, whose ages range from 13
to IS years, while coasting last night
were struck by train ON the Phila-
delphia & Reading railway and in
stantly killed and another was fatal
ly injured. The dead:
Dennis Mckinley, John Coyle, Owen
Cahill, Patrick Cahill and an un-
known boy who was mangled beyond
recognition.
John Heubner, the sixth victim, is
said to be at the point Of death.
The boys were coastirg on a bob
sled. The railway crosses the street
at the bottom of the hill and the Sled
and express train reached the cross
ing simultaneously. The engineer
was not aware of the tragedy until
he reached the station, a mile dis
tant from the sceue of the accident,
when the blood and bones on the pi-
lot of the engine gave him the first
intimation of the occurrence.

ing editorials and twice that many
eloquent stump speeches were to be
written into law. But congress balked.
The measure that had been promised
could not pass that body, \ great
many people, it so turned out, had been
writing and talking on the tariff ques-
tion either without sufficient know
ledge of what the country wanted, or
what their party was able to perform.
There were democrats who proved to
be as pronounced protectionists as any
republicans in commission; and be-
tween them they made a spectacle of
the tariff plank of the democracy's
latest platform. A hodge-podge tariff
bill which recognized the principle of
protection as distinctly as the Mckin-
ley bill had done was passed, and the
free traders were routed.
Nor have the free traders recovered
their old form. Nobody to-day is de-
manding free trade. On the contrary,
many of the men who followedthef free
trade banner so long are now declar-
ing that the country will not have free
trade, just as they are declaring that
the country will not have free silver.
But how much tariff reform do they
now propose? What is their line Of
thought on that subject? How far
away are they from their position
when they were challenging the pro-
tected industries to a struggle to the
death? The tariff is undoubtedly
live issue, and the time has come for

COWARDLY CRIME.
Editor Gonzales Is Shot Down
by Lieut.. Gov. Tillman.
Wound Probably FataI-ShoOtina Oc~
CURED on busy ThOroughfare
la Columbus. s.. q. Outcome
of an Old Fued-TIIIman
Taken to Jail.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 16.-Narcisso
Gener Gonzales, editor of the State,
is at the Columbia hospital in a crit
ical condition from a pistol wound i'm
flicted by James II. Tillman, lieuten-
amt governor of South Carolina, and
a nephew of United States Senator
Tillman.
The shooting occurred on Main
street, at the intersection of Gervais
street, in full view of the state capt.
tol, the most frequented corner in Co
lumbia.
1t was just n few moments before
o'clock Thursday when the cry was
passed along the streets that Jim
Tillman has shot y. G. Gonzales"
The offices of the State are on the
same block as the scene of the shoot
ing and in few moments a great
throng had assembled. The excite
ment and Indignation on the streets
was intense. Mr.. Gonzales was taken
to the office of the State, where ply
sicians pronounced his wound very
dangerous and probably fatal.
Policeman Boland arrested Lieut..
Gov. Tillman and took him to police
headquarters. where he was relieved
of two pistols-the one with which
he shot Mr.. Gonzales and a second
large revolver of 3S calibre. From
the police station he was taken to
the county Jail, where he is under
protection of officers. The only cause
attributed for the shooting is that
during the recent primary election
Mr. Gonzales bitterly opposed Lieut.
Gov. Tillman in his race for the office.
During the progress of that cam
paign Mr.. Gonzales in his fight to de-
feat Mr.. Tillman had denounced him
as "criminal candidate and a prov
en- liar"
1t was this and other such editor
ials. it is supposed, that goaded Mr..
Tillman to the desperate deed of yes
terday. Since the first primary, Au-
gust 26, 1909. Mr.. Gonzales has had
nothing to say about Mr.. Tillman ex-
cept to comment upon the result of
the primary.
The trouble between the two men
first grew out of a fist fight between
United States Senator Tillman and
Senator McLaurin on the floor of the
United States senate.
Mai. Micah Jenkins. who was with
Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba, and
who had won a record for bravery,
was to have been presented with =
sword by the people of South Caro-.
lima in recognition of his courage and
the fame which he had won for his
state in the Spanish war.
The presentation was to have been
made by Lieut.. Gov. Tillman. When
President Roosevelt withdrew his in
vitation to a state dinner in Wash
ington which he had sent Sena tor
Tiliman, because of the fight the lat
ter had in the United States senate,
Lieut. Gov Tillman refused to present
the sword to Lieut.. Jenkins.
Mr.. Gonzales took up the matter
in his paper, the Daily State, and bit
terly denounced Tillman. He repeat
ed the denunciations made previous,
on many different occasions, and
even dared Mr.. Tillman - deny the
charges which he had made. The
charges Gonzales made were spread
all over the south and made a deep
sensation.
