iblo to THE TELEGRAPH. Macon, Ga.
The President'* Menage.
The president's message Is a clear,
brief statement, that Is in Itself an ar
gument of the silver question as lie sees
tt. It is moderate aud conservative,
Jn the sense \hnt wanton offense is
not given to those who oppose the pres
ident's views; but tie does not retreat
an inch from the position he has al
ways held. He believes the con
tinued purchase of silver tinder the
operations of the Sherman law or the
free coinage of silver under existing
conditions sure to cause disaster, and
he therefore asks that the purchasing
clause of the Sherman taw be at once
and unoondlKonally repealed.
In the event that congress refuses
to do this, he intimates his intention
of upholding the national credit and
the method he will adopt in doing It—
namely, by the sale of bonds in what
ever quantity may he necessary to en
able the treasury to make payments
in gold when gold is demanded, lie
does sto$ say that this method wilt he
adopted hut points out that It ts the
only one that would tie effective.
That wonld be suicidal finance, but the
president apparently believes that a
slow method of suicide, allowing the
chance for resuscitation,. Is to he pre
ferred over the quick plan of tumbling
all at once from the gold to the silver
commercial revolution tn favor of the
United States that would bring the
bondholders and Shylock* of Europe
to their senses."
Those are glorious promises, but let
us see what la under them. The hy
ing of the ratio Is the first th.ng, and
is to be purely a matter of guess work.
Allowance is to be made for the in
creased value of stiver which utouid
accrue from increased use. when use
alone could determine what the in-,
crease would be. That wide error is
possible Is shown by the fact that Sen
ator Stewart, the ablest of the free sil
ver men, expected the Sherman law
to raise the price of silver to par.
But this Is not the worst feature of
the plan. The chief argument for free
coinage has been that the minting
value of silver in the United States
would necessarily he the market price
for it all over the world, for the rea
son that it eoulil always come to the
mint and be turned into legal tender
dollars. This argument ts abandoned
when the proposition Is made to leave
the Id to 1 ratio and fix another based
on the Intrinsic value which the
world’s use will give the metal. In
deed, the proposition contains the ad
mission that even with free coinage
the value of silver will depend upon
the world's demand for and supply of
that metal. What is the use of aban
doning the old ra tio and guessing at
a new one if free coinage will fix the
value- of surer?
That even the Constitution does not
expect free coinage to tlx the value of
silver Is Indicated in the promise that
with the mints open "we would at
once command the immense trade that
now flows to England from the South
American nations, from Uhina, and
even from far off India.” We could
have no advantage over England 1n
the trade with silver using couutriea
through free coinage that we have not
now. unless those countries were by
free coinage enabled to buy more for
their silver money in the United States
than in England and other gold stand
ard countries. If they were enabled
to do this, of course our own stiver
dollars would buy less in Europe that?
our gold dollars, South American and
East Indian stiver being Just as good
as ours. The causes which made
profitable for South America nnd Asia
to trade with the United States would
make It unprofitable for us to trade
with Europe. We, like them, would
tie on the silver basts, or we would
have no advantage In their trade.
We believe this promise made by the
Constitution would fall of fulfillment.

agreement fixing the relative coinage
curdling threats. Among other things
they say:
"Yes. May God forgive It, but we
may have to fight. Let no wan flatter
hhnsclf that It will be a tnpre Mexican
war If we do. The prophecy that
there l* to he In this country a conflict
between the inordinate money power
on the one hand and the common peo
ple on the other no longer passes as it
prophecy. It Is a trite fact. Every
body knows It. The Kansas legisla

all. Every signflcance of that muddle
Is absolutely free from all relation to
every adequate motive and purpose
on earth except to cither Centralized
power (money) or else to the rights
and Interest of the people." ’
Yet the crops lu Kansas last year
were good, prices fair, and an unusu
ally large number of mortgages are
reported to have been paid off. it is
well known, too, that the ram who
have loaned money in Kansas are anx
ious to get it out again, and It they are
let off this time It is not probable that
they will do so any more. The pros
pect ought to be peasing from the Pop
ulists’ standpoint, but we see that, on
the contrary, they are fighting mad.
The Republicans seem to be even
more unhappy and even more unrea
sonable, if Mr. Ingalls, their often
chosen spokesman, does not misrepre
sent them. In a recently published ar
ticle he says:
"This day Is balmy and mtnsblny in
comparison with the clouds and storms;
Just ahead of us. The ultimate result
will be redistribution of the assets of
the country. The millionaire of. today
will occupy the pauper hut, and the
pauper In the near future will ride In
the chariot of .the millionaire. Colo
rado and the other mineral states
should be blotted out as states and
added to the great Amerienn desert
from which they were taken. The
devastation of the yellow fever In the
South was not near so disastrous as
the situation tn Colorado produced by
the rlosing of the mines. Thousands
of people are are walking the streets
of Denver. Like the to My Naxarcne,
foxes have holes and birds ot the air
have nests, but the Colorado tramp
hath not whete to lay his head,
every street comer In Denver goes up
the piteous cry tot bread. In Wall
street the piteous cry goes up for geld.
When these two panicky conditions
come together in the great Mlsfjplppi
Valley, chaos nnd anarchy will - fol
low.”
We are glad to see some indications
that the Democrats of Kansas are not
wrapped In the funereal gloom whi’h
envelops their neighbors. The. , last
time we heard of their chief represent
ative, Senator Martin, he was urgiig
the formstkm of Democratic duos,
talking encouragingly of the futxre
and hustling for vote*. That Is tt great
deal better than standing back wilt
ing for civil war or for the grand
smash that Is to overturn the republic
and the established order of society at
the same time. There is great need
of cheerfulness and hope in Kansas,
and these the Democratic party- only
seems able to furnish. We have great
hopes that Senator Jlartln will be
able, by a skillful use of this gnat at
traction, to prevent the site of Tope
ka from being sown In salt, ai the
Populists fear it must be. and algo the
smash that will follow the meeting of

power and riches, the Hon. PhUetus
Is now in serious trouble. When the
Democrats captured Wisconsin a few
years ago, they Immediately set to
work to recover about $>500,000 which
had been misappropriated by the Uc
publican treasurers of the state during
past years, and have actually got more
than half the money. They are about
to get more of tt from ft treasurer on
whose official bond the name of the
Hon. Philctus appears. It was in an
effort to escape responsibility on this
bond that the eg-eenator got Into
trouble. He knew that the law was
agalnstihlm and that he would be ob
liged to pay If the law were honestly
administered. Therefore he undertook
to prevent Us being honestly adm.nls-
tcred. The Judge who would try the
case had a brother-in-law, an ex-mem
ber of congress, aud to this brother-in-
law the ex-senator offered a large sum
of money, not to act as counsel, but
for his Influence, outside - the court
room, with the Judge. As It happened,
both the lawyer and the Judge were
high-minded men. The Judge refused
to preside in the case, and when it
proper occasion offered the lawyer
gave all the facts to the public.
Perhaps the law cannot reach Mr.
Sawyer, but his attempt to bribe the
court—indirect though the attempt
tvas—shows of what kind of material
Republican leaders are made of In the

We have not at hand a roll of the
members of the lower house ot con

about 315 Democratic members of
that body cannot be far wrong. Of
these apparently eighty-six were pres

day. It would be a serious mistake to
assume, however, that only elgbty-slx
of the Democratic members will vote
for free coinage If glviyt an opportun

larger.
That the attendance was so slim we
attribute to the fear that the caucus
would be controlled by extremists.
Members who did not wish to be com

other paralyzing blow to. the Georgia

consternation among the membership

On the docket at police headquarters
the new names that appear today are:
F. H. Richardson, editor-in-chief of

of the city fathers to be caught.

throughout the state on account of hia
familiarity -with the festicc Jack pots.

as tax receiver. On account of his
former record it Is a significant fact
that he is the only one of all those so
far arrested who appears on the docket
as having been arraigned and fined—
$25.75.
Editor Richardson Is. however. In
dignant at his treatment by the detec

bucked the tiger In the lair of the
Georgia dub, but Intends to go Into
court and refute the charge. He says
he can prote by competent witnesses
that he does not know how to play

It is said that the detectives have
been furnished a complete Hat, with
the dates of the games, etc., of all who
paid tribute to the Georgia Club, and
that other cases which are to follow
are more sensational even than any so

arresting omcera, intimates that there
will be at least one Judge, now on the

Tile publlcalon of the first arrest by

attracted the sons and daughters of the
stato which has given the country so
many presidents. Knights of Pythias
flocked into the grounds from an early
hour, and the disciples of Izaak Walton
threw their lines In every pond of water
in the grouuds. The Virginians who
thronged Music hall heard patriotic
speeches by the silver-tongued men of
their native commonwealth. The day
was the anniversary ot the gathering

When the president’s message was
published lt was hotly denounced by
many who later had nothing to ,ay
rave words of approval. It was f\ r
from suiting the Neal faction as a
wh>le and their opponents have mf
been slow to brand them as being op.
posed to the wishes of the admlnlstra-
tion. At the same time Neal's per
sonal following Is strong Indeed, ar.d
lt will go far toward lifting him in. no
mstter what hto attitude toward the
government, or that of the governmen
towards him. C. D. Crltcs, chairman
of the stato central committee,
was a strong Richie man before the
withdrawal of that candidate, said tbit
morning:
"We must make n strong fight on
stato questions this time. The na
tional policy is all well enough, but
there are other things ns well. Hu
people of Ohio must' pay attention tn
the affairs of Ohio, nnd wc believe that
they can be better administered than
they have been by Governor McKinl.y.

W. B. Richie, whom many declared
could have been nominated on the Hot
ballot, had he been willing to run. came
to town last night. He carries a very
large portion of the northwestern part
of the state with him, nnd is out for
Neal. The Campbell forces are almost
for any man to beat Neal, and they
arc making n desperate fight against
him. It i$ really as much of a fight
between the Campbell and anti-Cnmp
bell elements as upon any subject of
state or national import. The main
difficulty with the Campbell men
that they have not pitched upon any
