In a recent judicial election held
in Chicago the republicans Bwept
everything.
While the progress on the tariff
in the senate is not altogether as
republicans would like it to be, it
is, circumstabces considered, satis
factory. More so, in fact, than
many had expected it to be, just as
the bill is being made better than
many republicans expected it
would be when the amended bill
waB reported to the senate. The
original Dingley bill was far more
satisfactory to republicans of the
raok and file than the bill as
amended by the senate committee,
and they are correspondingly
pleased at the tendency of the
steering committee of the senate to
restore the bouse schedule, or at
least to make them nearer
than the schedules of the amended
bill. While it cannot be officially
announced that the sngar schedule

Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats to do is to denounce
Mr. Jefferson instead of praising him
and to adopt resolutions reciting his
various glaring heresies and formally
reading him out of the party, for it is
absolutely certain that if the Chicago

that the prophecy in this article

THE SILVER BRICK BUNKO GAME.
TJnole Sam prefers to buy what silver he needs in the world's markets and
at the prices which are paid for it by other nations. He is held up on his way
to market by the silver mine and silver bullion owner, who insists that
Uncle Sam shall agree to buy and sell silver at twice its actual value. He
tells Uncle Sam that in 1873 he committed a great crime against silver and
for that reason is responsible for the fall in price from (1.29 to 63 cents per
ounce. He flatters Uncle Sam by telling him that he is great enough and
wealthy enough to donble the price of silver the world over if he will begin to
coin it in unlimited quantities and to treat it in every way as if it were worth
its old price. Will Uncle Sam be taken in by this bunko steerer?

The silver Democrats have been un
usually profuse this year in eulogies of
Jefferson and Jackson. They have at
tempted to make it appear to those
with Democratio instincts that it has
been the regular thing for 100 years for
Democratio statesmen to champion sil
ver and cheap money. Jefferson's oppo
sition to cheap money and repudiation
of debts, and his advocacy of a coinage
ratio which should always be kept close
to the natural or market ratio, has been
made clear during the last few months.
The appeuls of the silver Democrats
to General Jackson are meeting with
tbe same fate. In a recent speech
ex-Congressman Josiah Patterson of
Tenncssoe, after calling attention to the
fact that previous to 1878 no American
statesman of any party approved of the
absurd doctrine thnt" government can
maintain bimetallism regardless of nat
ural ratios, spoke ot some length upon
Jackson s position on money and cur
rency. Hore is what he said:
Nothing within the range of po
litical absurdity could equal the speo-
taclo presented by the followers of Bry
an when they met on the 8th of Janua
ry to eulogize Jackson, who courageous
ly restored the gold currency.
Have these gentlemen ever paused
long enough in their assault on the pros
perity of the country to inquire why it
was during Jackson's administration
tbe ratio was changed from 15 to 18 to
IT If, as they teach the people, we bad
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver from the pamase of the act of
1703 down to the suspension of the coin
age of tbe silver dollar in 1873, why
was this change maduf Are they igno
rant, or do they disguise the fact that
after the act of 1703 gold relatively to
silver was undervalued and went out of
circulation because it was worth a lit
tle more as bullion than as money T Do
they forget or do they suppress the fact
that gold remained out of circulation
for more than 80 years prior to 1884?
"Are they uninformed, or do they
conceal the fart that statesmen illustri
ous in lA'inocratio annals for many
years prior to the administration of
scneme . to overvalue silver so as to
force the retirement of gold. If the hard
money Democrats, after the passage of
the act of 1884, pointed with pride and
exultation to the prosperity which fol
lowed the restoration of the gold cur
rency, the sound money Democrats have
never faltered in warning their coun
trymen of the disaster whioh would fol
low its retirement.
"The truth is the country is indebted
to the hard money Democrats, of whom
Jackson was the chief, for the gold
standard. I could go on and show how
the act of 1884 had an effect exactly op
posite to that of 1703, how nnder the
operations of the same inflexible eco
noruio law gold went out of circulation
under the one and silver nnder the oth
er, how congress in 1858, on account of
the retirement of silver, was forced to
coin it as subsidiary money in order to
supply the people with small change,
and how tbe silver dollars ceased to
flow from the mints and gold was coin
ed in great quantities. But this is for
eign to my text
"My purpose is to show that the ad
vocates of the Chicago platform have
no right to conjure with the name of
Andrew Jackson. That platform has no
precedent in the history and traditions
of the Democratio party. It promises a
new dispensation in monetary scienoe
never dreamed of in the philosophy of
its great leaders.

The car was blocked and at a stand-

her seat.
"Perfect," assented her friend.
"But," looking around, "can't you smell
something burning?"
"It seems to me I do," was the reply.
"And it's very disagreeable, too."
"Perhaps," suggested the other, "we

"No," said he friend, "we are miles

other girl, with a wild look around.

The Drift Toward Gold.
While Mr. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdiot of last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
'battle for silver" at the next congres
sional elections; while a bimetallio
commission has just been appointed to
visit tbe European governments in the
interest of international bimetallism,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standurd of gold. Since the ap
pointment of tho United States com
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit-
loss, and that there is no more probabil
ity of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re
turning to flintlock muskets for their
armies. Tbe latest annonncement is
from Russia, which is to tbe effect that
she is irrevocably committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not in Europe slone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent ease with which the
Japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold etandurd is one of
the marvels of modern statesmanship
and marks that people as smong tbe
most sncacions nations of the earth.
Laggard China also seems to be shak
ing from her silver dream of isolation
snd is anxious to have tbe customs du
ties st the treuty ports placed on tbe
gold basis, as they substantially were
wben the treaties were made. The de
preciation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is com
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed tbst ber
fluances will be conformed to tbe gold
stsudard.
If we turn from the far orient to onr
own bemispbore, we will perceive a
stirring iu the Centrsi and South Amer
ican ststes to reform their monetary its
tem and escspe tbs louses entailed by
an inferior and depreciated currency. A
dispatch a few days since from Llms
informed us that Pent bad not only sus
pended silver coinage but had passed a
law sgaiust the importation of silver.

Treatment of Honest Paddy"
O'Hara by Two City Jokers.
"Paddy" O'Hara, butcher and milk
man of La Conner, with his fountains
of mirth and beaming face, is in the
city again taking in the sights, says
the Seattle Times. "Paddy" is a char
acter, an original fellow, and is known
to everyone in Skagit county, also to
most all of the old-timers of Seattle.
He likes to tell stories, but here is one
that another fellow told on him:
The duties of milkman in La Conner
are in a large measure regarded as
those of a public servant, and if the
milkman is ever suspected of watering
his milk a public scandal is tbe result.
O'Hara was continually annoyed by
some of his customers in their banter
ing way accusing him of selling wa
tered milk. One of them declared he
would prove the milk was watered, and
a wager was quickly cloned with two of
the most noted "joshers" in the com
munity. The next morning "Paddy" was more
careful than ever, and gave his custom
ers almost pure cream. His content
was short-lived, however, for in the
presence of his best lady customer, as
he poured out the rich fluid, what
should glide out of the can Into the
measure but three small Puget sound
silverside salmon. O'Hara waa greatly
excited and his customer equally
alarmed. He declared loud and long
thiTt he had been "jobbed," and, to sub
stantiate the assertion, he even said
that If he did water his milk a little be
