THE GOLD STANDARDS FRIENDS

The only way In which the monetary
policy OF the country can be said to be
| settled Is either when it Is divorced
from the government altogether OF
when both parties with unanmity and
cordially agree upon the same policy
The Governments of every European
state are more or less connected with
| the monetary policies Of their respect
tive countries, but here in the United
States to connection is absolute, and
could only be served by such revold-
tiena as would shake the foundations
Of credit, individual and official From
that point Of view, therefore, the mon
etary policy OF the country certainly
cannot be considered settled.
There remains the cordial and unani-
nous agreement Of parties. There has
been no such agreement in twelve
years. Since 1892 a large majority of
the Democrats party has been ram
pant for free silver. 1t was the cause
of the most serious slit between Cleve-
land and his party, in 1894, and it led
to the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan, the
peerless champion of free silver, in '89
and 1900, On both Of which occasions
he was supported by Judge Parker The
free silverites. with Mr.. Bryan at their
head, were not as powerful at st. Louis
but they were strong enough to vote
down an effort of the convention to
encase the question in a kind Of thin
veneer. Those who believed in the
gold standard were not srong enough
in their convictions to fight for them,
or even to put them in virile language.
Parker's telegram infused some little
spirit into his supporters after they
had recovered from their awful fright, |
but Parker did not say then, nor has
he since, what he actually believed.
He considers the gold standard as
rrevocably established. Well, that de
Ponds
The gold standard is established now
and has been since the Republicans
zane into power, in 1896. Is there
my reason on earth to euppose that
he Democrats thoroughly saturated
With vicious financial ideas, would con-
ider the gold Or any other standard
established should the country be Wis
ted by another financial crisis? A cri
is is always possible. The iuctua-
ions in the worlds markets can pro-
uce it, though our stability be solid ,
is easy to call the panic of 1S93-4-5.
ecause it is only short distance off. .
With silver and fat money and wild
at banks dancing in the heated Demo- q
ratio imagination, it may be conjec-
lred how long the gold standard
'ould be irrevocable in another panic
the Democrats could overthrow it. |.
he gold standard is firmly establish /
30 long as the Republicans remain | e
power. They established it and are l
OF likely to undo their own good work.
That may come then no political pro-
het with any regard for his reputa-
on will undertake to tell.

audience in the hall Of the house OF
representatives Of the Georgia Legis

follows:
In this campaign the Democratic
national leaders have prostituted the
name of Democrat, and are demanding
that they shall be blindly followed
in spite OF the fact that they have
renowned every principle of Democra-
cy. Will the real Democrats follow
the name rather than the principles?

submit to the surrender to Wall Street

sed thing it 81 for Democratic leaders
that they always have the "nigger"
TO fall back on! For thirty years they
have been dong business on the mig
ger, and today he is their only stock
in trade.
The Democrats leaders who talk
this stuff, and the editors who write
it laugh and wink at one another as
they pass-they know what a humbug
it all is, and how it Is being used to
make the people forget, or condone,

questions before it votes for him I'D.

Church Fairs are becoming quite the
fashion and st. Clements fair which
is. to take place next Saturday, it is
expected will eclipse any fete the ladies
of that church have yet had. First of
all it will be held in the beautiful lawn
of r. May and a prettier or more APP
propriate place could not be found in
town. All kinds of things, useful as
well as ornamental, will be offered
for sale. The children's fish ponds
will be well supplied. There will be
verious side shows which will be anus
ing. And in fact it would be hard to
say what attractions will not be found
there. In the evening there will be
dancing on the broad lanai and it is
hoped that many will appear i'm fancy
costume, although this is optional.
Mrs. Farley will exhibit her wax works
which is always lots of fun. One may
have his future read at the Gypsy camp
and the bewitching gypsy maidens
themselves are not among the least of
the attractions. There will be an
entrance gate on Kinau street near
Pensacola and another on Lunalilo
street opposite e. d. Tenney's into
which one may step from the street
car. The band will be present as
usual and in fact nothing will be left
undone that would enhance the plea
sure of the public. The entrance fee
will be 25 cents: children 10 cents.

MUTINY ON

CREW CLAIM THE CAPTAIN WAS
DRUNK AND THEY MANAGED
THE VESSEL.

SAN FRANCISCO, November To-
There was mutiny on board the little
lumber schooner Vine and when she
arrived in the harbor yesterday the
crew was in charge and the captain
was virtually prisoner. The men of
the crew say that they were forced to
take charge of the schooner in order
to prevent the skipper from running
her ashore, The captain states that
the men refused to obey his orders, and
he was powerless to compel them to do
so, When the schooner anchored in
the stream yesterday the crew left her
without furling the sails, The cap
tain remained on board
Twelve days ago the Vine, Captain
Moe, lumber laden, left Eureka for
this port Southeasterly gales hurled
themselves against her and for two
days the little vessel bucked into the
seas under double reefed sails. off
Point Reyes the trouble commenced
and it was there that the master and
his men clashed. An order to put the
vessel on a certain course met with "A
refusal from the man at the wheel.
The skipper made at him with a mar
lin spike, but was disarmed and then
compelled to go below. Since last Fri
day the crew navigated the vessel and
Captain Moe was forced to stand by
without issuing an order. When the
schooner anchored off Meiggs wharf
yesterday Eric Martin, John Ivers and
Jacob Kotcharin took the small boat
and deserted the vessel.
They alleged that the captain was

THE ELECTION
INVESTIGATIONS
CARTER DOUBTS THE FEDERAL
AUTHORITY BUT Is READY TO
ASSIST.

Just why the Federal Grand Jury
should undertake to enquire into the
alleged unfairness of the recent cleo
ton is something that Governor Car
ter does not understand.
TT is all very well for the Territorial
Grand Jury to look int any charges
that may be made, but 1 do not see
where the Federal authority comes in, "
remarked the Governor today. 1T is
true that the question of an election of
a delegate to the Federal Congress is
concerned, but that is a Territorial
election, There may be some legal twist
in the matter which is not apparent to
the lay mind. Speaking as an eXecu-
tive officer of the Territory though, I
may say that the administration will
give either or both of the Grand Juries
all of the assistance possible in their
investigations"
