THE OltHAT CAUSE STILL LIVES
CotulUK from a republican senator from
Now Hampshire the views of Senator W U
Chandler In tho National Review of l ondou
touchlnc the results of our late election
and tho prospects of bimetallism are worthy
of moro than putstns notice
Senator Chandler very properly refutes
to listen to the silly claims of Ihe sold
luonometalllstt that the causo of ellrer Is
out of 13000000 voted for tho Immedlat
testoratlon of freo and unlimited colnaso
at the ratio of 1C to 1 TourQftha tf the
American electorate Scuator Chandler
tays aro undoubtedly for bimetallism as
aualnst Ihe single gold standard and In-
telligent men In this country will hardly
question hit conclusions Thluk of a com-
pact voting strength of over six millions
of men arrayed against less than seven
millions and then cstlmato tbo value of
tho claim that silver or bimetallism Is
dead Supposo tho republican party had
developed a solid voto of 210000 In Texna
against 200000 democrat or a little over
alxthlrteontha In a voto of 00000 would
wnc claim that
any republicanism was
dead li Texas
Hut Benator Chandlor goes farther and
ahows that alarm whether well founded
or not nt alleged revolutionary planka In
tho democratic platform scared off thou-
sands of men who would othervvlso havo
voted tho diimocratlo ticket With a silver
plauk reinforced by tho usual planka of
the National democratic platforms and lcsi
radical utterances touching Federal Inter-
ference and tho supremo court tho demo-
cratic party would havo swept tho country

HOW TO IIANDLR KCON0M1C qDES
T10S8
We bear often the theory adeanced that
the tariff and finnnrU questions ahould lx
divorced from party politics at they ere
practically In most of the Kuropean roun
trlea and that eome meant ahould be hit
upon throuch vhlch the aovernnitnt poll
clet tn the direction Indicated might be-
come Impartially established and rendered
permanent
It can scarcely be questioned that thlt
would be a consummation devoutly to be
wished The unsettled MnancUl system and
tbo unsettled tariff policy dliturb tanl
ness rrccnt trade In larger and steadier
volume lth other nations and operate un
justly and unequally tn our own tovntry
It the money and revenue problcna could
be Impartially solved tt tho Interests of
all cltssca and sections could be iropcrly
cuarded In the solution and then the Na-
tional policy be fixed by an authority de-
pendent neither upon ono party nor an-
other neither the clstses nor the masses a-
long step fonrarJ towards political quiet
and rapid and permanent commercial

It Xlejer cf that city believes w th all

tariff should be divorced from partisan
politics but unlike most of them lo has
an Idea how that beneficent result may bo

permanent commission ought to bo created
to handle the matter exclusively Tho com
mission of course would Lave to be putely
nonpartttan and composed of leiineJ ex-
perts representing all sections of thi coun-
try The tariff commission would bo some-
thing after the order of tho InWrsuto com

wuuld meet and remove th difficultly and

Presidentelect McHlnley will probably
have t o of the handtomeat horset ever
seen In AVashlnieton Tho lato Oeneral Jo-
seph T Torrence of ChlcaRo j > osseasetl as
fine a stablo of liorsia as was onucd In the
Windy City It wat the generals Intention
before his death that two magnificent
brown horses the best matched pair In his
tables should be presented to Mr Mo
Klnley to rido behind lo the capllol on
Inauguration day In the event of his elec
tion The fteneral left no written will to
this effect but It Is said that his daughter
Mrs MtROun who has come Into posses-
sion of the estate will probably carry out
her fathers wish and present tho horspa
to the presidentelect and that they will
take their place In tho White House
stables on the 4th or March
Tho vote for sliver In the last election
said Colonel C O Diadshaw of Montana
wat the American vote Tho forelRti vote
those fellows who have only been here a
year or two and dont even know how to
write tbelr name In English voted for Mc
Klnley to a man Thats where the big
campaign fund we hear so much about
weut nnd tho result tn the States having
tho largest iimount of foreign population
proves this most conclusively All thli lallt
about the Ilryan Slates having tho great-
est percentage of Illiteracy Is the merest
rot Why thn census figures show that In
Colorado Washington Idaho Montana und
Nebraska tho percentage of Illiteracy is
less than In any of tho New England
States New York or Pennsylvania
Hon C C Watts of Charleston dctno
cratlc candidate for governor of West Vir-
ginia In tho recent campaign was seen at
the llalclgli last evening
We made a great fight In West Vir-
ginia said he against tcrilble odds
and thcro Is no doubt that the legitimate
vote cast for the democratic ticket State
and National exceeded that of tho opposi
tion The republicans realized weeks tn ad-
vance of the election that they wero beat-
en unlcs1 extreme methods were used and
with an unlimited supply of money at their
command began a systematic plan of col-
onization Thousands of Imported voters
wero brought In and distributed over the
State In addition to this repeating was
extensively practiced There Is no registra-
tion law and all that Ik necessary Is to
make nffldavtt of resldenco in the State
one year and sixty days In the county
whlrh being done by an unscrupulous
voter no amount of challenging can pre-
vent his exercising tho right of miftntge
Such were the Methods used to defeat tli
popular will for on anything like n fair
voto Ilryan would certainly liavo carried
West Virginia
Hut 1 do not regard Ihe cause for which
we contended as permanently beaten
Pren silver Is still a vllal Issue It with-
in the next two years there Ii nn fulfill-
ment of thef proinises so often reiterated
by tho party now domlnnnt the people will
reverse the verdict Just rendered Let us
hope that proKporlty will come If It does
not It will not be rosslblo to deludetho
people nny longer and a democratic tidal
wave In ISjS followed by a Nntlonil vic-
tory In lflOO is Inevitable Then the coun-
try will see that the rause for which we
contended In ISfC was Just nnd the Hlnglo
gold standard will have to give way to
bimetallism
There Is still a topio of Interest grovvlng
out of the election that never fnlln to ex-
cite animated discussion and that Is as
to the right decision on tho bets that were
mado on Kentucky Nearly every night
arguments about It can bo hcRrd In Ihe
hotel lobbies and oftlmea the dlsputatlono
wax vociferous
It Is alleged that all the sporting pa-
pers of tho United States have decided
that the men who put up their muney thnt
McKlnley wnultl carry Kentucky win
said a very prominent Kentucky gentleman
occupying one of tho high governmental
iisllions and conspicuous in the camiilgt
for his opposition to the Chicago ticket
if thit be true the papery ore tn my opin-
ion very badly at fault nnd I would hate
to have them decldo a case In whlih I was
Intelcated The man who take tho affirma-
tive of n proposition has tho burden of
proving It bets II that McKlnley will
carry Kentucky If ho does not et the en-
tire doctoral vote he falls to carry 11 for
a partial carrying docs nut meet the re-
quirements of the wager It is too plain
for any argument Hint In such n rnso A
loses hit bet If the wager Is deelaied off
and the money returned each bettor then
A Is playing very luckily for logically and
legally lit that term could l > e used In con-
nection with betting ho Is loser

The Wluirf Ileht
lalvcston Ttibune
Tho Tribune has recently shown In Its
agitation for enlarged terminal facilities
at this port that the Galveston Wharf com-
pany with other Interests Is called upon
by thn necessities of tho situation to re
form its irackago and othervvlso adapt Ita
svstem of business to the rapidly Increas-
ing trade In this movement tho Trlbuno
was inspired solely by Its concern for the
general welfare Tho fact that It did not
hesitate to criticise the Wharf company n
that caso gives U tho right now to protest
UKalnst the proceedings Instituted at Aus
tin lo make It appear that tho companys
charges ale exclusive In Its recent crltl
il m of tho
company tho Tribune was re
buked lii certain quarters for advertising
the iIta disadvantaged und In this In
stance the Trlbuno expects even moro viol
ent rebuke for defending n monopoly
Hut it will io Its duty now as heretofore
it hehalf of Galvestons commercial welfare
n ap to of any passing clamor or any self
ish Ititenst
The shipping charges at this port In
cluding the Wharf companys tariff are
notoriously the cheapest at nny fltst class
port upon the continent This Is no vague
boast but n challenge to comparison by
careful Investigation The difference he
tween lalveston and other ports Is that
here tho wharf charges are made direct
upon the commodity whereas elsewhere
they nre taxed against tho ship and enler
Into tho ocean freight rate Tho effect fs
the same upon commerce Galveston does
directly and candidly what olher ports do
Indirectly and eolluslvely with tho net te
sult greatly to CalvcstouK advantage
The only chargo that may be attacked
and this the Tribune has not vet Investl
gatedls the tax on trackage but as this
Is a Kind of railroad trntllo it ought to be
readily amenable to tho railroad commis-
sion without legislation or formal procecd
ureThe
The right of tho Slate to regulate wharf
charges Is not tho question If the legis
lature has not tho right already It lies
fundamentally In the State upon the gener-
ally accepted principle of government con
trol of public carriers aud other creature
corporations established for the common
good The point of the Tribunes protest Is
that the exploitation nt this time Is with
out Just grievance There Is no complaint
against tho Wharf companys general aver
age of tarllf charges though possibly there
are Items that might be corrected tinI
would doubtless bo corrected by the com
pany upon a reasonable showing In any
shipper
Ihe present complaint misses entirely the
essentia problems Ic bo solved here These
the Tribune hat recently pointed nut an I
the Wharf company promptly nniwuntd
Its Intention of reforming Its trackage to
accommodate the Increased business of th
port if olher Interests wero as prompt to
promote the btlslnrss of lalveston Kb com-
merce would o speedily accommodated
The Tribune will not hesitate upon ocrv
slon to point out the shortcomings of the
Wharf company It would heartily lend Its
Influence to legltlninlo nnd Judicious rival-
ry whenever tho business of tho port may
warrant the establishment and maintenance
of largo enterprises projected lu good faltii
but It Insists that this movement Is unjust
nnd unwise nnd thn motive for It lies out-
side of an tinseltUh concern for the public
good

times It was exactly a year ago that the
message of tho president concerning our re-
lations with England growing out of the
Venezuelan affair startled tbe world and
alarmed the lountry To have advanced
lu that time from tho menace of war from
a position which wat scouted by the rlllsh
premier as absurd to completo mastery
ot the situation with that samo premier
acceding to our every demand Is surely a
great triumph for American diplomacy
American rights and prestige
Tho man for whom tho credit for this
extraordinary accomplishment Is duo Is
Itlclmrd Olney not President Cleveland
He It was who did the work who supplied
tho ability the boldness tho persistency
An old resident of tho National capital a
man who has had much to do with diplo-
matic matters said to mo a few days ugo
Olucy Is tho greatest secretary of state we
havo had within my recollection He will
go into history rs one of the greatest men
wo havo ever had In our government
Though In the nature ot things Mr Cleve-
land Is thn man who generally gets most
of tho credit for this Monroe doctrine
achievement nnd though tho president haa
never done anvthlng to assist tho country
In giving Its praise to tho right man ns
be hits hrd more lhan one opportunity to di
Iho trulli has nt last dawned upon tbe
people of the United States Wherever one
goes he Is asked questions about Mr Olney
everywhere ono hears praises for that
sturdy shrewd skillful official I have
heard Mr Olney praised by many republi-
cans but perhaps the best rompllment over-
paid him was when tho presidentelect said
to me a few days ago I am trying to
find a man big and strong enough to fill
Mr Olneys shoes
Thoso who understand tho true Inward-
ness of tho Venezuelan episode know that
Mr Cleveland had very little to do with
It Though It was through his message a
year ago the country tint learned officially
what had been done ns It Is through his
lomlug message It will learn officially ot
the settlement these messages arc only
proclamations The great document ot the
controversy and ono of the greatest Slate
papers of our history was tho note ot Mr
Olney to Lord Salisbury dated August
lfcill Mr Olney wrote every word of that
note Mr Cleveland never saw It till It
was sent to him when he read It wllh ad-
miration and gave It his olflclnl approval
The liinldo history of tho negotiations If
It could ever t > e written would ehow how
Olney had otitmaueuvered Salisbury at
every turn Ho even had the temerity to
suggest ways In which his ndvorsary could
get out ot tho scrape suggestions which
toon bore fruit
It Is worth whllo noting nt this point
that Lord Salisburys surrender to Olney
has afforded a distinct surprlso to tho dip-
lomatic world A year ago men skilled In
diplomacy men who knew Salisburys stub-
bornness and resourceful persistency could
not have dreamed of his Riving way Inch
by Inch till every point for which he had
contended was finally abandoned In truth
Mr Olney himself has been surprised at his
own success Iln had expected a much
moro stubborn resistance hod counted upon
ilank movement and delay through the arts
nf which his adversary Is a recognized past
master So quick and complete has Salis
burys surrender been tint Mr Olney has
at limes paused and asked himself What
does It mean Is thorn something bchhul
Ihls which wo have not perceived Is It
possible wn arc winning too easily Hut
careful search has failed to disclose any
weak point Salisbury marched up tho hill
wllh banners flying with a proud and
supercilious smllo upon his face and then
ho marched down again not even disdain-
ing hints from his rival ns to the easiest
paths of descent
This splendid record ns a secretary of
state Mr Olney tins mado In a year and a
half Somewhere In Iho republican party
Major McKlnley may be able to find an-
other Olney No doubt there aro among
the successful lawyer of the country a
number of men who with equal opportuni-
ties might havo done what Mr Olney hns
done Hut where aro they to 1m found
Who can Identify them And It should be
remembered that a president scarcely dare
take a lawjcr without public service and
put hltn at the head of the State depart-
ment Mr Olney had served more than
two venrs ns attorney general before ho
look up foreign nffalni In the department
of Justlro or other cabinet post President
McKlnley may develop another Olney hut
that Is not going to help lilm out at the
start Senator Sherman is too old and feeble
for tho work Senator Allisons education
has been altogether In another direction
and tho Iowa statesman Is unwilling to
leave his high place In the honale John
liny Is an able nnd accomplished man hut
his appointment would not bo generally
commended simply because of his lack of
prominence In i arty and public affairs
Senator lodgo Is nnother very able man
who hns made foreign relations a specially
but whllo he would make a very good sec-
retary of state under a president like Mr
Heed It Is not In the nature of things thnt
he would bo satisfactory to President Mc

crime and outrage are not confined to tho

too much of it here Ood knows but the

tention to conditions in tho South which
nro equally prevalent in the North Eaet
nnd West Is unworthy ot n really great
Journal While we Tcxans are possibly too
prone to assume au Independence we havo
not and to take to ourselves u somewhat
exaggerated air of Importance and broad-

pendent and broad to bo displeased with

larger Northern newspapers which mako
good use of Its testimony in their sectional
screeds Tho News Is In a position to do a
great work for Texas were it less narrow
unappreclatlve nnd revengeful By adver-
tising tbo good and giving tho bad less
protulncnco by pointing out to foreign
citrltallsts avenues of profitable Investment
tnthur than attempting to decelvo them
with cock and bull stories of official cor-
ruption and popular hostility to capital and
