Vice President Stevenson is quot- edas being a greenbacker in the days when that party flourished and a free silves man since Congressmen will begin to assem- ble in Washington next week and prepare for the battle which is to follow their coming together. Lieutenant Governor O'Meara, during a recent visit to Jefferson Stated that Col. Dick Dalton would be in the field for Governor to suc- ceed Governor Stone. The St. Louis Chronicle has been interviewing the country editors on the financial question, and without exception they favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Take away the Globe-Democrat, Kansas City Journal and Times and you have about wiped out all the opposition in the newspaper line in this state to free coinage. ee Since the strikers have attempted to take possession of the coal mines in Kansas the United States has tak- en a hand and will protect the com- pany’s property from being damag- ed. The gold-bug eastern congress- man had better take his linen duster with him August 7th. Judge De- Armond is loaded to make things pretty hot in Washington when the silver question is brought up. There are enough men leaving Colorado to overflow the Kansas mines. These miners are out of money and hunting work. The first thing the striker knows he will be a Kansas statesman out of a job Two hundred boiler and sheet iron workmen in the boiler yards of Roham Bros. and Wangler, Garstag & O’Brien, St. Louis, struck Friday. They want ten hours’ pay for nine hours work, which was refused by the company. The Kansas officials have raised the assessments of railroads of that state and to meet the increase in taxes the railroads have retaliated by reducing their force of laborers. The railroads always have a way of fighting back that the law cannot reach. The reports of the shutting down of the silver and coal mines in Colo- rado will just about depopulate the state of its laboring class of citizens outside of the large cities. A terri. ble state of affairs exists and if some thing is not done without delay there will be any amount of suffering. The tamous Newby trial which was begun at Springfield, Ill., on the 11th, closed Saturday afternoon. In nineteen minutes after the jury re- tired it made up a verdict declaring Newby to be an imposter. In effect it is that the defendant is Daniel Ben- ton, and not William Newby who was killed at Shiloh, and whom he personated for the purpose of frau- dulently procuring a pension from the government. It is reported that Judge F. M. Black, chief justice of the supreme court, will not bea candidate for re- nomination and the friends of Con- gressman DeArmond are already en-/ tering him for the race. Judge DeArmond came very near the nom- ination at the Springfield convention of 1888, but was finally defeated af- ter a prolonged struggle, by Judge Barclay.—Republic. The Republic is right. Judge De- Armond did come very near the nomination at Springfield, and if he concludes to run it will take a mighty strong man to beat him. Judge DeAarmond is one of the very address MITTED.

But without wishing to discuss the merits or demerits of the two | systems, let us see if the democratic | party is committed to either. A lit- |tle over one year ago, representa (tives of the democratic party from jevery state and territery in the | United States met at Chicago in del | egated convention and formulated a |set of principles and committed the democratic party thereto. There is |no doubt as to the meaning of the | coinage plank adopted. It is not sus jceptible of a double interpretation. It declares for the coinage of both metals. This piank was adopted with very little opposition. It was not a faction or section of the country de- manding it, but was the mature judgment of a large majority of the delegates. Now, were these repre- sentatives of the democratic party mistaken and ignorant as to the needs of the country, and did they need Wall street to tell them that they did not know anything about the finances of the country and that they were a set of ignoramuses? The great political battle of 1892 was fought and won upon the prin- ciples promulgated in that platform. Is the democratic party prepared to admit that there is no sincerity in its pledges? That it meant to de ceive and hoodwink the people and, its representatives will act with au tocratic power and demonetize silver in spite of the positive instructions given at the polls last fall? Are those papers which are now making such a bitter fight against silver consistent with the course they pursued last fall when they en- dorsed the Chicago platform and ac- cepted all the planks? Do they admit that they bave changed their views on this subject since then; if 80, what is the cause for sc great a change? Oris there a powerful in- fluence at work which very often changes and moulds the politics of these great newspapers? The democratic party is commit ted upon this question and it remains to be seen whether its representatives fulfill its pledges made to the people at the polls. S The War Outlook Abroad. K, C. Times 17, The European war situation is growing in interest. Strangely enough, too, the present imbroglio has had its origin ina quarter where an uprising was the least expected, while between Germany and Russia, where a war was deemed most likely, no new complications have arisen. The political student in the United States will find ample food for re- flection in the questions that are now presented to the diplomatists of Europe and Asia. It will bea hb- eral education in international study to watch the manner of their solu- tion. Several days ago the Times spoke of the possibility of a Chinese alli- ance with the government of Siam for the purpose of resisting the French invasion. Yesterday morn- ing’s dispatches from Tien-Tsin ver- ify the prediction. Li Hung Chano’s ministry has ordered troops trans- ported to Siam, and the whole of China's powerful navy will at once proceed south to the assistance of the peninsular government. Unless France hurries a navel force forward the Comete, Forfait and Inconstante the small French war-ships now in the Menam river, will find hot com- pany upon the arrival of their ves- sels from the China seas.

The naval strength of China is not | here underestimated. ‘The ships of the Chinese Empire are large, pow- erful and of modern pattern. Their guns are of the best. Their navy is new, having been built in Germany within the past ten years. Its only weakness is the lack of training and the inherent inability of Chinese sailors to manage great ships and to fight| The government has kept the nayy in home harbors since its con- struction. Such a thing as a cruise around the world, of having foreign station, is not known in the naval circles of the Empire. Warships whose crews are inexperienced and untaught in the methods of modern marine warfare will stand little chance of success ina contest with the trained fighters of Russia and France. It is for these reasons that the assertion is here so positively made that the Chinese navy will be a weakling when epposed to the ships of European countries. The only hope of success that the empiie can reasonably have must lie in the German officers who are in charg of the Chinese ships for the purpo-e of training the natives If these inen cling to the red flag and dragons of the Orient the war in Siamese waters will be longer and more desperate than otherwise. But the most interesting phase of the entire situation is the attitude of England. That conservative gov- ernment declared against the inva- sion of Siam by the French. An En- glish fleet has been ordered to Siam- ese waters “to protect the British residents and their interests.” Lord Dufferin, the English embassador to France, has bad special instructions sent to him and his leave of absence has been withdrawn. The English Ministry has met for the considera- tion of the eastern question, and the foreign office refuses to say what will be done. It will be seen from this that England must either back down or contend against France and Russia in favor of the Siamese. Such an alliance as this would be uunat ural and is hardly to be looked for; but the fact remains England has declared against the Siamese inva- sion. It will take all of the diplo- macy of Downing street to get out of difficulty without fighting with the Asiatic against two of the most powerful of civilized nations. In the event of such a many sided war, Germany might join with En- gland. The outcome would be ex- qremely uncertain. assistance of Germrny for England, the Franco Russian alliance would | probably be victorious, because the interests of Great Britian are such that with all its splendid navy it could not amass a force in Siamese waters sufficiently strong to win and at the same time look after its world- wide possessions. Continental union- ists in this country would hasten the Canadian annexation movement to a culmination. In Egypt the restless Khedive would endeavor to take from England the comparatiyely newly-assumed power that that gov- ernment has in Northern Africa, the Southern African possessions would pass to the Dutch or become re- publics, Australia might develop a revolution and India would soon become disputed ground. Great Britian will be taking a bold step when it enters a war on the Eastern question with Russia and France as allied opponents. If such a conflict as is now altogether prob- able ensues, the United States is the only nation of the world that will stand aloof and watch the proceed- ings with security.

WAR IS INEVITABLE. France Announces That She Will Blockade Siam. | Bangkok, July ~M. Pavie, French minister resident, has lower- edthe tlag over his office and has noti- fied the Siamese government that he will leave the city to go a board the the French warship Inconstante on Wednesday. He has requested the government to provide pilots to conduct the Lutin and Comete down the river. French subjects in Bang- kok will be placed under the protec tion of the Dutch consul. Paris, July 24.—The government has notified the powers that it in- tended to establish a blockade of the Siamese coast, without prejudice to the other measures that may be taken with the object of securing to France the guarantees to which she is entitled. A council of the minis- ters will be held to morrow to decide what additional measures be taken to insure the obtaining of garantees The Liberte says that the French gunboats probably will go down the river, shell and destroy the Paknam forts and then return to their pos- sessions before Bangkok to bombard the place. Some painful measure is necessary, adds this journal, for the preservation of France's pres- tige. F. H. Binder Gets It. Jefferson City, Mo., July 24.—The governer, auditor and secretary of state this evening examined the bids received by the curators of the uni- versity ten days ago for erecting a main edifice in cennection with the university at Columbia. The cons tract was awarded by the curators to F. H. Binder of this city and this! action was approved by the state officers, as was also Mr. Binder’s bond for $500,000. Work will be commenced immediately. The bids were not made public by the cura- tors, but they were as follows: F. H. Binder, Jefferson City, $241,500; Theo.

BUTLER, MO. WHAT BLA D SAYS. A Free Coinage Substitute for the Sherman Law. “Silyer Dick’’ Says That Will be the Action of the Extra Session. New York, July 22—A St. Louis special to a morning paper says: “We will repeal the Sherman law with a free coinage bill,” is the way Representative Bland stated the pro gramme of the silver advocates to day. Continuing Bland said: “What ever panic we have is due in a great measure, if not entirely to the threat of Wall street financers that they would bring on a panic or a momen- tary stringency in orderto accomp- lish the demonetization of The proposition now made to avvid a panic and restore property is the repeal of Sherman act. The un- conditional repeal of that act would beregarded by the world as a total demonetization of silver, which would have the effect to at once widen the difference be- silver. tween the bullion value of gold | and silver. A further depreciation of silver would then be seized upon by the advocates of the gold standard as an insurmountable objection to its restoration. They would demand aratio for silver to gold measured | by the depreciation of silver occasion- ed by the repeal of the Sherman act Say what you please against that act, and one can say no more against it than I have, its unconditional repeal would say to the world that this,the greatest of all metallic powers, had tinally discarded silver and this would cause a silver panic through- out the world and a heavy decline in the value of that metal. It would make it more difficult to legislate on the subject and in itself would bring on the severest financial panic this country ever had and would intensify rather than relieve the present finan- cial trouble. “I believe that the present panicky condition is the result of a conspiracy and that the condition is attributed | to the Sherman law in order to bring about its unconditional repeal. I) | do not believe unconditional appeal of the act can be accomplished. Our policy will be a substitute.

Grant returned the fire vigorously. At once the rest of the guards came to his assistaues and firing became general, a number of shots being fired by the attacking party under cover of thick brush along the strip pit. Sheriff Arneld and Chief Deputy Douglass were at once notified and went to the scene of trouble. The attacking party being repule- ed slipped away under coyer of un- even ground and brush and disap- peared. None of the deputies were injured and so far as known none of the | strikers.
