THIS vast structure, erected for the accommodation f t;u. riepartments of State. War anil Navy, consists of three harmonious buildings united by con

with the elegance of modern architecture. The dimensions from north to sout. including pavilion projections and steps, are r,t!7 feet, and from east to west

SIcliinley on Iiahor Unions.
The tecent ileeS.imtion of President Me
Kmley with refereiiie to labor unions in
an interview with Mr. ("Junipers, president
ol the American I-'edenitioii of I.abir.
von-ed the sentiments of ail fair-minded
men on this subject that has occasioned so
much bitter controversy among students

The a nt i- tool ing bill to restrain the op

The leaders of organized labor some appre

md that the penalties of the act might be
Miistrued as .ippl.viug to them rather than
to the large combinations usually known
h trusts. Their appiehetisious were re
lieved, however, b.v the President, who
will: "I regard the organization of labor
m the natural and legitimate effort to se
cure its rights."
No fair-minded person will dissent from
the views of the President upon this
ciucstiou. The encouragement of ligiti
mate trades unionism is praiseworthy, he

to the dtought in New South Wales and

from Russia, and the fact that little can

e:rly uttent-on to the United States: and
already corsiderable wheat lias been sold
for shinim-nt during August and Septeni

the vliiat vield have improved, and the
crop is expected to be larger than that

Tobacco and Silver.
The Louisville Courier-Journal reads a
lesson to the advocates of free silver on
the error of their assumption that the
prices of staples follow the price of silver
bullion. It is strange that any intelligent
man could believe such a fallacy, but it is
a fact that some do. The point made by
our Kentucky contemporary ia that while
silver is lower now than it was last fail.
there has been a steady appieciatiou in
the value of leaf tobacco, which is one of
the chief farm staples of the South and
especially of Kentucky. From the low
point in February to the second week in
June tlie advance has been as much as
KM to 200 per cent on some grades of
hurley tobacco, and on none probably has
it been less than T0 per cent. On dark
tobacco the rise has been much less, but
it is still very noticeable. Great as this,
advance has been already, a further in
crease in the price is expected.
Hnincts Prospects Bricht.
There has been a steady advance to
ward a more prosperous business situa
tion, and the sentiment has decidedly im
proved. The fact that the Senate is at
work at last on tlie tariff bill and that
much is being accomplished daily in the
consideration of the measure has had a
good deal to do with the general restora
tion of confidence which extends from one
end of the country to the other. So far
results are not marked in the ordinary
trade reports. There is a falling off in
commercial failures which may be taken
as one of the early indications of a better
commercial situation. Bank clearings,
which at best are an unsatisfactory guide,
show business to be a little below the
level of last year for the month of May
and for the week. Philadelphia Press

Midsummer Holiness Postponed.
Midsummer dullness should now be on
the business of the country, but. on the

The Silver Push for Teller.
Tlie Yankton Press and Dakotan. one
of the organs of Populism in South la
kota. and presumably close to Senator
Pettigrew, gives support to the story re
cently sent out by tlie Associated Press
from Denver that the silver forces are
planning to substitute Senator Tidier for
William Jennings Bryan in the campaign
of 11KXI. Naturally the Yankton organ
discredits the suggestion of a conspiracy
against Mr. Bryan, and assumes that he
"will be one of the first to refuse a nomi
nation if he believes a stronger man can
be mimed." The Press and Dakotan does
not deal with the presumption that it
would be possible to convince Mr. Bryan
that a stronger man could be named. The
possibility of such a contingency did not
occur to him at the time of the meeting
of the Chicago convention last year, nor
immediately prior to the assembling of
that convention. There is no evideuce
that the Nebraskan has come to think less
of himself since that time. Indeed, the
presumption is warranted that Mr. Bryan
deems the preservation of his own life
and leadership essential to the cause of
"bimetallism." The Yankton paper, how
ever, proceeds to say:
It Is well known that Senator Henry M.
Teller, of Colorado, lias been for nianr Tears
prominent hi the public mind as a suitable
man for President, and without disparaging
in the slightest the quHlItlcatlons of Mr.
I5ry.ni. it can tie honestly claimed that no
statesman or the present day In the United
States possesses to a greater et tent the con
fidence and esteem of the American people
than Mr. Teller. He possesses the advantage
of a iptarter of a century or more of experi
ence In public position, an experience that
has admirably equipped him to discharge
the duties devolving upon the chief magis
trate of this republic; and we have no doubt
mat if Air. liryan s sentiments eoulil he
known he would be found quite favorable to
the enuiliihicy of the Colorado gentleman.
There is a growing conviction that with Mr.
Teller as the candidate, success would be
assured, and this conviction has come about
because of no loss of confidence in Mr. Hr
an or lessoning of the esteem In which lie Is
held by those who supported him in the last
campaign.
Activity in Rnsincs Centers.
Attention is called to the fact that sel
dom, evi n in periods of the greatest busi
ness activity, have the loans of the New
York C.ty banks scored as large a gain
as the one teported for the week just
closed. They made an increase of $11,
000.1 NHI. For several weeks past their
loans have been increasing, but the expan
sion just trade was the largest known
in any six da.vs in a long time. This in
creased demand for money is significant.
It means that $11,000,000 more of money
went into various enterprises from the
New York City banks alone, the past
week than the week before, to pay labor
and to tiicken all the channels ot trade
and business. The increase in loans is
not conf.ned to the banks of New York
City. It is noted in a proportionate meas
ure in all the cities of the country. The
effects of the vast additions to the ac
tual monc.v circulation passing through
the hinds of the people are also being felt
ever where, not in a boom, but in a slow
ly and steadily rising tide of better times.

BOLT OF BOIES.
Iuwan Keep Getting- Further A wax
from Chicago Platform.
Ex-Gov. Hoes has made public another
statement answering the attack recently
made on his position. His statement
takes him entirely away from the 1( to 1
doctrine. Among other things he sa.vs:
Let Congress provide that anv person hav
ing gold or silver bullion of the value of 510
or multiples thereof may deposit the same
in the treasury and receive therefor I'nited
States or treasury notes for the value there
of on the day of deposit, siu-h value ex
pressed in dollars to be determined bv the
quoted market price of the bullion offered
in the great centers of trade In the old

able on demand in bullion of either nietiil
at the option of the Government at Its mar
ket price in the same markets on the day of
redemption, the notes (not the bullion the
represent) to be made unlimited legal ten
der. In reply to the objection raised by Col.
Fox that feoies plan meant virtually a
gold standard, the ex-Governor says that
in a narrow sense it may be so claimed.
but in a broad and practical sense it
would te.stilt in true bimetallism, not only
in law, but in fact as felt. Then he says:
The Chicago platform is no longer binding

Issues made up by that Instrument have

Arrajrinc Class Against Clans.
The Dei Moines fusion convention plat
form and speeches make it evident that
so far as tlie iemocratic leauers are con
cerned the puriose is to excite passion and
prejudice and to array voters of different
occupations against each other for po
litical effect. The keynote of the speech
of Candidate White, the platform and the
temper of the convention, make it appar
ent that the campaign is to be marked by
an attempt to array one part of the citi
zens against the other on the "isiuitahle
distribution of propert" basis. The con
vention made an exhibition of dema
gogistn in its declaration of a iwiliey
against those who have, by industry and
economy, built up the large interests of
the State, and contributed to the pros
perity of the whole people.
It is oiu of the dangerous signs of the
times that hostility to property and men
who own property, is so marked in a great
party, and that expressions hostile to the
prosperous element in the State were
applauded. It is a sad thing to contem
plate. If it is sincere we have fallen ui
on evil ilas. If it is a sham Democratic
leaders must wear the mark of the dema
gogue. Such an exhibition should startle
every good citizen into activity against
this covert socialism. The mission of good
citi7cnshp should be to allay strife and
animosity, iather than to arouse t.
Reform Ik Coming.
People who are anxious to see a general
reform in the monetary sjstem of the
United Stater may rest assured that a
proposition upon this subject is being
carefully framed, and will be presented
to Cuigress either during the special ses
sion or as sn ;is Congress meets in its
regular fusion next December, and that
every Republican vote will be cast in
favor of some measure of this character.
Lines Closely Drawn.
The lines between the gold Democrats
and the silver shunters are being as close
ly drawn as last fall. Chairman Bynum
of the gold Democracy has opened head
quarters in New York and announces
that he and his party are ready to hit a
head whenever they see one in the com
ing campaign, provided that head favors
the free coinage of silver.

Good Crop, Good Times.
The movement of the crops, which now
begins, will pioceed in increasing volume
until the autumn. The wheat harvest
begins in Texas and mils northward like
a wave until it ends (in the United States!
in Minnesota and North Dakota. It is
followed by the corn harvest, and inter
spersed by the gathering of numerous oth
er crops, all representing vast wealth
which iiitisi sooner or later materialize in
money. With plenty of money in the East
to move the crops, a ml with plenty of crops
in the Wtsc to move, it would seem that
an inftchange of the commodities of
money md ciops must soon set in which
will tend to equalize conditions by reliev
ing the plethora of money in the East

where it is so badly needed. This inter

Dauuieoiivllle said.
"Wot do them ducks expect of us?" said
Johnny-on-p.ir.idc:
"They want some crumbs. If they're to

Then Johnny he grew furious, and said

Signs multiply that the schism in the
party which maiched under the name of
Democracy until the revolutionists tri
umphed ie IMh; is growing wider and
deeper. The average Popocrat hates the
Democrat more heartily than he hates
the Republican. The average Democrat
ees far more to condemn in the Chicago
platform than in the St. LotiN platform.
If this bitterness has grown to its prer-ent
proportions in seven month- who can
measure the magnitude it will ;i-tain by
10G0? So sturdy of henrt are the sound
money Democrat that they nre seriously
discussing "the passins of Bryan."
By tho Way.
The late IVpocratic party, having lost
its Pop. has adopted a more appropriate
prefix, and is now the Anar-cratic.

The jople v.ho hoped to bring about an

"For one. I do not believe it tiossible
to succeed upon a platform that demands
the unqualified free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 10 to 1 with gold. We have
fought that battle and it is lost. We can
never tight it over under circumstances
more favorable to ourselves. If we- hope
to succeed we must abandon this ex
