THTOSDAT K0BHW8, ATTOXTST X2«i, 1397
England is now in the midst of
the greatest strike she has known
in years.
The wheat yield in Oregon this
year is estimated at 18,000,000
bushels.
The cotton mills in Lowell.
Massachusetts, have shut down
until September 1st, and pos-
sibly longer.
The New York Journal thinks
the high price of whiskey in the
Klondyke ought to render that
region a most effective gold cure.
The Arans 1'ass Beacon says
there are more self-constituted
deep water experts
than in any other place on earth.
Major Bayers denounces the
new Dingley tariff as an unjust
(T~ir£8gion on the people of this
cKiditry, and a failure as a reve-
nue measure.
something about spilt milk
Col. Wm. G. Sterrett, Wash-
ington correspondent of the Gal-
veston-Dallas News, mildly re-
minds the McKinley aiders and
abetters that they should not be
the least surprised at the recent
action of the republican party, j
and says:
"Among those who owned their eye* very j
widely at ttc courw» of the republicans are j
the gold men of the democratic party. Why j
I should they be surprised? Why should they j
• ven lift their «ycbrowx in astonishment!'
The answer canine but one way, and that i«.
! that the said democrats, so intense were they
j in their efforts to preserve the currency"!
I ?he country from what they deemed an at-
tack from the silver forces, that they over-
looked what the republicans were promising
the country. For at no time did McKinley in
those little speeches which he made on his
front porch at Canton dwell on the currency
issue, but at all time* *crpntun?ed the fact
tbut a higher and a protective tariff was what
the country needed to bring it out of the
mire, and that the republican party stood for
a protective tariff, arid all that. When he
did talk about the currency question he
talked of it vaguely—something on the or-
der of the remark that wo wanted the mills
and not the mints opened. Of course he
said we wanted a •uhstantiai and safe cur-
rency . IJryan said this also. Every speak-
that town ! er in the country on both aides said it,"
American manufacturers an-
nounce an increased demand for
arms, such as rifles and revol-
vers. Ammunition has also ad-
vanced rapidly.
The Clarksville Times says:
"The trouble with republican
prosperity ia that it is never dis-
tributed in any but doubtful
states."
The officers of our navy consist
of 6 rear admirals, 10 commodores,
45 captains, 85 commanders,
74 lieutenant commanders, 250
lieutenants, 75 lieutenants, jr.,
175 ensigns. Total 724.
the Denison Gazeteer says
that arrangements are taking
shape for running Santa Fe
train/into Denison, and predicts
that the project will be an ac-
complished fact inside of twelve
months.
The Gonzales Inquirer thinks
if the gold fields of Alaska are
hedged about with as many dan-
gers as claimed the way will
almost be paved with bones of
fortune hunters.
The goldbug bolters are dis-
gusted with the role they played
In the election of McKinley, and
are now trying to shift the re-
sponsibility of this National
calamity upon the shoulders of
the Tom Watson wing of the
Populist party. 8our grapes,
eh!
Matt Quay having announced
hia intention of visiting the
Islands of Hawaii the Japanese
have become suddenly alarmed.
Quay seems to have acquired an
international reputation for grab-
bing everything that comes with-
in his reach, honce the uneasiness
of the Japs.
The Washington Star says if
the Klondyke mines will raise up
a lot of new capitalists who will
do something toward promoting
prosperity, the American public
will hasten to acknowledge its
indebtedness to a hitherto un-
dervalued region.
Colbert county, Alabama, has
decided to expend 8100,000 in the
Substantial improvement of her
public roads, the building of
bridges, etc., believing that this
work will be worth more to the
people of that country than the
amount expended to secure these
blessings and conveniences.
President McKinley has par-
doned out of the National prison
three bankwreckers and embez-
zlers—none of whom served more
than one fourth of their time.
But, then, you see the bankers
were extremely liberal in con
tributing to the McKinley cam
paign fund.
When letcherous brutes stop
outraging white women in the
South, then the necessity for the
existence of lynch law will have
passed; but until then, all the
officers and posses in the land
cannot prevent the people from
wreaking vengeance, quick and
terrible, upon such brutal and
inhuman monsters.
Mr. Preston, the director of
the mint, estimates the gold pro-
duction of the world for 1896 to
have been 8205,000,000, of which
the United States contributed
over $53,000,000. For 1897 it is
believed the world's gold produc-
tion will reach 8260,000,000.
"That the world's gold product
will increase for a number of j
years to come," says Mr. Pres-
ton, "is self-evident, as new
mines will be opened up in all
parts of the world, and with the
improved appliances and meth-
ods for extracting the gold con-
tained in the ores, it is believed
that by the close of the century
the world's g»ld product will ex-
wed 8300,000,000."
"Overlooked what the republi-
cans were promising the coun-
try" is simply great, says the
Alvarado Bulletin, which de-
clares that Col. Sterrett has
given utterance to nothing better
in a decade, and adds:
"If they did overlook what the
republicans promised they are
a peculiar set, if they simply
ignored said promises they are a
queer crew. In either case they
are not the kind of sentinels the
democracy should place on
guard.
However, the heads of some of
the leaders of these idolaters are
cooler now than they wore one
year ago. At that time they
were chagrinned because they
had lost control of the party
machinery. They were playing
the part of dethroned bosses
wailing over the loss of power.
They were playing to defeat the
party that refused further to
submit Lamely to their domina-
tion. They did not stop to con-
sider what republicanism has
cost the country in the past nor
what it would cost in the future.
They had a rule-or-ruin griev-
ance against the party that had
honored them In the past, and
yet had the temerity to assert
that the majority should rule.
This was what was the matter
with the crowd that broke away
from the democracy in 1806.
This truth is evidenced by the
fact that never once during the
campaign did they open their
mouths against McKinleyism,
Hannaism nor republicanism, but
on the other hand belabored
democracy from the beginning of
the campaign to the end of it.
They can now seo what they
have done. Jf it is a case of spilt
milk they alone are to blame.
They have three years in which
t> swap work with each other and'
kick themselves on the reciproc-
ity plan."

The Gaoenville Herald says:
"The demonetization by the lead-
ing nations of the earth, at the
instigation of the holders of
Capital, of one of the natural
monoy metals, doubling the pur-
chasing power of a dollar, and
reducing by one half the pur
chasing power of a day's labor,
was tho collossal crime against
the civilization of the country. If
this great wrong is not righted
by international agreement or
through the initiative of a strong
government like the United
States, humanity will have to
submit to a condition of hopeless
slavery, or rise in revolution and
rebellion in which thrones will
crumble and republics be shaken
to their foundations. The
ovents of the last few years show
conclusively that a powerful
combination is working to place
all the commercial nations of the
earth on a single gold basis. The
present decline in silver tho cause
of which no one can explain, has
brought about the agitation of a
gold basis for Mexico and the
argument for a universal gold
standard instead of an inter-
national bimetallic standard is
demanded. If the republican ad-
ministration fails to bring about
international bimetallism, and
the democrats do not gain con-
trol of the presidency and both
branches of congress in 1900 on
a platform pledging the remone-
tization of silver, the industrial
slavery of mankind, in so far as
governments can bring it about,
will be final. The gold standard
will be universal and tho con-
dition of mankind will be hope-
less."
The attorney general is keep-
ing a vigilant eye on co-called
benevolent orders seeking to do
business in Texas by dodging the
requirements of the State law in
regard to insurance companies.
The United Moderns, with head-
quarters at Denver, Colorado,
has been refused permission to
do business in this State, except
upon full compliance with the
insurance laws.

says: "Texas can give conclu-

schools or more than four times
as much as in 1881. Its one high
school of that year has grown to
