licuru the ol 1 i.e uv cr crac iiie Ittontioa were knocked out for keepej the scuate was safe for fa years; the kinglc gold standard waa faste, cd on ihe country forever and a day . That was t he tlattcrii u ui.ciior. which the propagandist cf the Knglisl. ysleui of Bonnca on this continent laid lo their palpitating hearts. (en. Groaeeoor, to a burst of conlideßco and with propbetle hen, stn.king hi venerable beard, hha eye la Bne frenzy roiling, declared that in woti.'d now have a whole Lri i eratlon of npublican jirt'Mciuts presumably from Ohio. So with w assail bout and popping of

corks and the uproarious strains of music, and much enthusiastic if maudlin oratory, the goldites eelebrol d the wake over the corpse of bimetallism They said to each other gleeful ly , diabolically, ghoulish y: "li s dead thistiiue. good and dead, deadcr'n a - melt, diader'n a doornail, dcaded than the deuce! What is that awful noise'.'" And it was to them an uu ful noist the sound of bimetallism bumtlog fii m the touib. with Hon. William K. Chandler, of New Hampshire, I'uritan state-man. republican senator, in t he role of chief resurrectionist! Macbetli's terror wasn't a eircuinstar.ee to theirs. After a!l their labor and fussing and fuming and boodling and bulldtziug and crowing and bloviating and guzzlir.p and hurrahing they come out of the same hole they went in at. They have to begin at the beginning and do it all over again start in ab initio, de novo from ihe stump at tbe bottom. The unanimity, alacrity and bitterness w ith which they will damn Chandler would eclipse the sulphurou glory of "our army in Flanders." If what tbey are sayir.gabout Chandler could be taken down atenographicilly it would make rare ami racy reading, but would beexcluded from tbe mails uncert moniously on account of ita profanity and obscenity. They may "cuss" all they p!eae. but the fact remains that tlie New England senator has started a brand new debate on bimetallism Lieh will be conducted at every fireside in the laud. Now, if some de 'eated democratic or populiatio candidate for congress had written en elaborate interview in favor of bimetallism the goldbug presa with one accord would have denounced it as driveling .diocy. but they ia i, 't so 111 ppa r t ly d ,stn -s the well-considered words of New Hampshire' senior senator. He 1 ails from tbe east, the habitat of wise men. He is one of the high priests in the tem-

pie ol repuoiicanisin. that lie i tnischievous as a monkey may be admit ted. but that le is smart a a whip is known of all men; that he is ambitious as Julius Coo aar i anapeoted by many. ' and that he aspires to the pr. I .! i.oy is I believed hy some. His Mist elect ion interview, a portico of which I ipiote bei low. has set many people hereabout to using : heir thinkers, as t hey never used them before, for Chandler's shrewd

ness at..: i:eterity at Hooting w:h the tide have become proverbial. "I am more convinced than ever," he said, "that the gold standard is not to be fastened upon tlie world. Iac!. nowledge that just now it Jooks as if the recogr.ii ion of silver was far post j oned, but this js localise we happen tjbein a position of a creditor nation We have exported $1,ooo,(kjo.(kiu worth of produce more than we have imp. rted, and while we have not received all the difference in feold. it has come to us in various other forms, and we have felt no strain. Suppose, however, that the tide had been running the other way, and we had been comp lied to p .y out this vast sum. No one would then have Intimated that the silver question was dead. No," said the senator emphalically, "it in not dead, and while the fight may last for 26yenrs.it will continue to he fought. With Kngland face to face with Ihe Indian problem, and with her failure to borrow the gold with which to supply currency U,i India, the question is still very much alive." "You still believe, then, in the possibility of international bimetnlii.-.m?" "To such an extent." replied .Mr. Chandler. "Hint if 1 were President McKinley I would appoint another commission, picking out active and earnest men like Charles A. Towne. for instance, men vv ho would endeavor to secure u favorable result. BOd would notify tireat Üritain nnd Trance of my netlon. I would not nend the commissioners nhro.nl nt once, but would wait tor them to be invited, in my - pinion, tireat Britain would soon request their presence, anil cooperation might also be expected from France, if that country had the time in the midst of internal l rOOblei to consider financial mailers mi.:ht be necessary to abandon tie r. arat ratio of sixteen to one and BObatittttC twenty to one but uprm in Ii rompfOnahM I believe interaaiouaJ hirueta'.ligm could be secured."

"Hut would you go so far us to advocate the free coinage of silver by lha I mted Slates wilboiit regard to other nail tus?" "It by l'.H'U." said Senator Chandler, "not hing1 had been Bccompllahi d in the direction of lateraationaJ bimetallism, I am almost willing now to say that 1

Some desire to enter upon a universal iand-gra bblsg scheme; others don't, particularly the vvnerable and ci.et ubic Hoar. Some are Itching to amend t he Dingley bill, which both as a revenue prliKi r and a hOttO industry protector has proved a Bat failure; others protest against further tariff tinkering, notably the beloved Dingley. Some want the gold Btaadard fastened on the country : others don't, especially Senator William Im Chandler. Some want McKinley renominated; others don't, and Urem latter will rally round Thomas Hraekett I.'eed, the leviathan among republican. And so on to the end The hitter end.
