To the Editor of The Bee : Your Issue of August 5 contains an editorial entitled , "Juggling-with the Sliver Question. " This alleged act of Jug glery , according to The nee , was committed by the republican convention of the Sixth congressional district of Nebraska \vhen It adopted a certain silver resolution , with which The lice takes Issue. You say that tills resolution will cause the party any amount of trouble In the coming campaign. You ask , "What Is the meaning of the Btupld gabble about 'the crime of 1S03 ? ' " After a running flro of unnecessary ridicule jnd Irrelevant levity , you say : "Tho republican party Is for a double standard MO long as that standard can be maintained by the exchange of every silver dollar and every paper dollar In circulation for a dollar In gold. "The resumption of free coinage under present conditions would force gold to a premium , Mexlcnulza our currency , and con tract the volume of money by tha with drawal and hoarding of gold which Is now available as a medium of exchange. "If the Usue Is to be met by the republi can party it must be dealt with frankly , honestly , and without flinching. Any at tempt at subterfuge and sophistry about minting the American product can only re sult in humiliation and defeat. " These are assertions or matters of opinion on which ono man's opinion Is entitled to as much weight as another's. The Dee's arti cle la an expression of Its own views , and not an exposition of republican doctrine , or an Interpretation ot republican platform declarations. The silver plank In the plat form of the Sixth district Is based strictly and absolutely on the declarations of the republican national platforms In 18S8 and 1892 , and so far from being an attempt to Juggle with the silver question it takes up the pledges of the party and attempts to meet the Issue "frankly , honestly and with out flinching. " Simply this and nothing more. Dut in presenting the resolution of the Sixth district you give only the declara tion , omitting entirely tha preamble. , which gives the resolution vitality and consistency. This Is certainly not fair lighting. Here are tha resolutions entire : Whereas , In 188S the republican national platform declared In favor of the use of both iold nnd silver as money nnd con demned the policy of the democratic ad ministration In Us efforts to demonetize Oliver ; and Whereas ) . In 1S92 the republican national platform declared that the American people are by Interest and tradition In favor of bimetallism , and demanded the use of both cold and sliver as standard money , there fore Resolved , That the demonetization of sil ver by a democratic administration in IbM was a dime against the people ; that we volco the demand ot the platform ot 1S32 anil that wo nlve new expression and em phasis to that demand by calling upon congress to remonetlzo sliver and provide for the coinage , ot the product of Ameri can mines at a ratio that will restore the equilibrium of gold and silver and main tain their parity , The republicans of the Sixth district take republican platforms to say what they mean nnd to mean what they say. They take the position that It the republican national con vention In 1888 daw tit to condemn a demo cratic administration for "Its efforts to de monetize silver" ( see platform of 18S8) ) , then nny republican convention In this present year of grace might bo permitted to do a little denouncing an Its own behalf after a Bucoettl.iiK . democratic administration had given us demonetization as an accomplished fact. As to whether demonetization Is a "crlmo" or can be shaded down to a felony , or Is merely a misdemeanor Is , of course , a matter of Individual opinion. The Dee evldontly doesn't think so , and no republican should quarrel with It for not so thinking. The republicans ot the Sixth district road the republican platform of 189.1 literally. Therefore they take this to mean somothlnf ; , that "tho American people are by Interest and tradition In favor of bimetallism , " They certainly do not take It to moan the opposite of what It says. Then , when the platform demands the use of both gold and silver ai standard money , they do not take It to mean that gold alone shall bo standard money and silver 4 subsidiary money to bo treated as a commodity. It will be obsetved that the platform of 1838 mciely "declared" It e'f In favor ot gold and silver "as money , " It will ulso bo noticed that the platform ot 1S92 "de manded , " In terms plain and unmistakable , tha use ot gold nnd silver "as standard money. " In 1SSS we have a declaration , In 1892 a demand. In 18SS the declara tion was simply In favor of the two metals as money ( not necessarily standard money ) , but four years later the voice of tlio party becomes a demand , not for gold and silver as any kind of money , but as abuoluto standard money. You refer to the "perversion of the silver plank ; of the national platform of 1892 , which expressly points out the desirability of an International agreement on silver coinage. " Jlioro U certainly 110 uervorslon. TU lu- tlonal platform ipeaUn from ( he stand point of desirability , not of absolute ne- cesiity. nnd every republican know * that International acrcompnt Is but one ot the means for the accomplishment of an end , It li not all In til. Moreover , no person Is truly expecting an International agreement for many years to come. Therefore If wo are to wait for It , or If we are to ill still until the continental nations of Europe take the Initiative or consent to a double standard , wo may as welt quit talking about silver and ( top Injecting It Into national , congressional and slate platforms. The Inference to bo drawn from your edi torial Is that n congressional district has no right to express Itself lest It run coun ter to tha sentiment of some other district or Infringe upon the presumptive rights of a state convention yet to be held. Don't think It , Kach congres sional district must speak for Itself. People of all parlies must Instruct their candidates for congress according to their own desires. Knch congressional district Is an entity with reference to expressions of party policy to the same extent that It maintains Its Individual ity In the selection of delegates to the national convention of the party , Your Omaha district will not agree with the Sixth on the silver question , and'wo will find no fault with you for It , Mr. Mercer represents your sentiments , on silver , and vour wishes In all other matters , and we honor him for It , We1 speak for ourselves , and we "III continue to do so. Now , the silver plank of the Sixth dis trict convention that has given The Ileo so great offi use Is satisfactory to the masi ! of republicans In this district. It Is or was approved In Its entirety by the various con gressional candidates except one , who did not disagree with the sentiments , but was timid about making tha stand. Mr. Daughcrty , our nominee , approves of It In every line. It was adopted unani mously and without alteration from the orig inal draft by a committee of seven on resolu tions. Ii represents the Sixth district , ami If some ono else Is not pleased wo certainly cannot help It. Wo have done our duty as republicans according to our lights , also In accordance with the national platform declara tions of the republican party In 1SSS and 1892. Wo have had no other lamp to light our feet. Wo ask no other. As a member of the committee on resolu tions , for the purpose of defending our ac tion and setting this district right In the eyes of all republicans and not for the pur pose of newspaper notoriety , I respectfully request that you glvo this rejoinder a place In your columns.

WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE DEB. 1407 F Street , N , W. WASHINGTON , Aug. S. In speaking of the probabilities of the pend ing war between China and Japan , an official of the Japanese legation today recalled the fact that the season of the monsoon and the typhoon Is now rapidly approaching. The presence of the former 1s not regarded as a menace to seamen , but fear Is felt ot the tatter. The typhoon Is a revolving wind storm whose effects are disastrous. It Is believed by the officials ot the legation that the nava movements during lite typhoon season at least will bo somewhat circumscribed. It Is believed the Chinese will not venture a great distance from their coast , but will keep close to port. Japan , It Is thought here will wage an aggressive war agalnsi China , and some of her objective points In all probability will bo the Chinese ports. Already reports have reached here ol high gales off the Chinese coast that have compelled all craft but the staunchcst steam ers to seek shelter In port. Naval olllccrs say when the dreaded typhoon sets In there Is nothing to do but run from It. The United States steamship Marlon was struck by a storm of this kind a few months ago when beginning her voyage from China to San Francisco. She emerged In a damaged condition , or had a narrow escape , notwith standing she Is a splendid sea boat and was In the hands of the ablest navigators In the navy. When vessels are not sunk by the typhoon they are frequently driven far out of their course , so It will be seen that naval operations between Japan and China are likely to bo conducted at great risk. For this reason operations ot the fleets will prob ably be restricted to a minimum. FEARS FOR WALTER WELLMAN. Experienced navigators of the arctic re gions believe that Walter Wellman Is lost. The friends of Walter Wellman cannot con ceive of the possibility of disaster to so In trepid , courageous , sagacious and far-seeing a man. If It shall ultimately prove true , however , that Walter Wellman has disap peared In that polar expedition , the men who will mourn his loss with all of the sincerity of manly grief will ho legion. Walter Well man came to Washington as the correspond ent of the American Press association , to succeed Frank G. Carpenter , who had repre sented that Institution In the national capi tal for several years. Wherever ho went Wellman attracted attention by reason of his perfect physique , attractive manners and cheerful disposition. Nature gifted him with a nervous-sanguine temperament. All of his movements were quick , his step elastic , his eyes were bright , and spontaneously ho seemed to bo carrying out the Injunction of scripture : "Whatsoever thy hand flndcth to do , do It with thy might. " As the mana ger of the Washington bureau of the Chicago Herald , Wellman became well and favorably known to all of the public men of both politi cal parties In the executive departments and In both houses of congress. As a gatherer and chronicler of the news of the day ho was alert , tireless and discreet. Ho never sent from the national capital a single line of news matter the truth of which was In any degree questionable. There seemed to be no limit to his capacity for work. Dur ing the few months preceding his venture some expedition to Greenland' " Icy moun tains ho furnished the American Press asso ciation with three or four columns of news matter dally and gave them also two nonpartisan - partisan descriptive letters per week. In addition to the enormous amount of matter which he transmitted by wire and by mall to the Chicago Herald. And yet he never seemed to be a busy man , because he always had a moment or two to spend In cheerful , chatty conversation with his friends , and nobody enjoyed a Joke better or told the latest story In a more entertaining manner than he. Ordinarily , men of aggressive temperament and positive character , elbow ing their way through the. world and over coming all opposltloo so that they reach the topmost round of their profession , leave enmities and enemies In their pathway. Such was not the case In the career of Wal ter Wellman In the national capital. Ho was friendly with everybody and everybody seems to have been his friend. ALLEN AFTER THE LOBBY. Senator Allen today Introduced a bill de fining a professional lobbyist as a person who habitually attempts to Influence the legislative actions of congress by soliciting a member thereof to support or defeat a measure pending therein , or In either house or before a committee of cither house of congress , and providing that lobbying In the capltol of the United States or In the Dis trict of Columbia Is made an offense against the United States , and also providing that a person so convicted shall be fined In a sum not less than $1,000 nor more than $3,000. The bill was referred to the committee on education and labor. E. W. Simeral of Omaha Is In Washing ton for a few days. Congressman Bryan today presented to the house a voluminous petition asking for the Impeachment of Attorney General Olney. About 10,000 persona have signed their names to the paper , but not all of them are resi dents of Nebraska. SOUTH OMAHA'S PUBLIC BUILDING. The greater portion of the session In the house of representatives In committee of the whole today was given to the considera tion ot bills reported from the committee on public buildings and grounds , b'ut very few measures received favorable action. Con gressman Mercer succeeded In having passed a bill appropriating $200,000 for a postolfico building at South Omaha. As In the case of other bills under consideration today the point ot no quorum was raised against this ono by Mr. Snodgrass , a democrat from Tennessee , who Insisted upon his point , and Mr. Mercer was compelled to furnish a quorum In order to pass his bill , which he succeeded In doing , and the vote stood 16G to 13 , exactly a quorum , so the bill was laid aside with favorable recommendation for action by the house. Only two or three other bills for public buildings were passed. The president today appointed George Wlnans of Wisconsin supervising inspector of steam vessels for the Fifth district. There were several candidates for the position , and the controversy was a long and animated one , The appointment was the result of the removal of John D. Sloano ot Minnesota , who was an applicant tor rcnomlnatlon and refused to send In his resignation. S. B. Coulson ot Yankton , 8. D , , was a prominent candidate , and It was thought for a while that ho would receive the appointment , but the president decided that the appointment should go to a northern state , and made the nomination as above. Postmasters appointed ; Nebraska Beth any , Lancaster county , Fred L. Sumter , vice M. A. Ruthburn , resigned. Iowa Muchaklnoch , Mahaska county , Henry Alder , vice Benjamin F. Phillips , re moved. _ _ _ _ _ _ IIUII.IMNO II1M.H mU'OUTKU , Among Them Wai linn for n 1'ublln Itullil- IIIK lit Mouth Oinnlin. WASHINGTON , Aug. 8.

Judco KHtello HuviiiK ( lood Tlmo Catch. Inc llrook Trout. LONG PINE , Neb. , Aug. 8. ( Special to The Bee. ) The Bee representative ran onto Judge Kstello this morning after breakfast , and as ho ( the Judge ) had Just relished some speckled trout which he had caught all by himself , ho was found in a very Jovial mood. Being asked the usual question , "How do you like Long Pine as compared with other resorts ? " he extolled the YosemIte - Ito ot Nebraska In the following manner. "Yes , I have been at Hot Springs and en joyed tlio plunge baths at that deservedly famous and much advertised resort. But for pure , unadulterated pleasure , I think Long Pine beats the Hot Springs. Long Pine river and canyon are one of the wonders of this continent ; at least It Is so to mo. Whilst making no pretense at being a scien tist , I think I am safe In saying that the scientist can find no field that would be more Instructive and Interesting than the Long Pine canyon. It Is a freak of nature. Hero can be found , with root and branch Inter twined and Interlocked , the plno and cedar of the Rockfoa and the oak , elm , nsli and walnut of the Mississippi valley , with here , and there the eccentric ironwood. Pines 100 feet high are seen on almost every bluff , and the burr oak scorns to be moro nearly a ported tree here than anywhere on the continent. Climate ; It Is all right and we challenge thq Hot Springs or any other place to excel It. Every night slnco we have been hero ono or two blankets have added to our coinfor0 and we would have been uncomfortable without them. Fish : Send for Judge Dlalr , Jim Mlckle , Lew May or some other expert pre varicator. Had trout for breakfast. Who caught them ? Mrs. Catello and myself. How many ? Flvo What kind ? Speckled trout , nnd beauties they wcro , weighing from six to eight ounces. You see. tlmti Is what Long Pine holds over Hot Springs. It Is worth a trip from Omaha to Long Pine to hook one of the speckled beauties. Lf Judge Blair will come up wo will teach him how to bait a hook ; everything depends on the way the hook Is baited , and unless that Is done In a proper manner you can'l catch any trout. If you are trying1 to Interview mo for The Bee , you can say : 'Thermom eter 32 above and trout bltlne freely , ' " and the Judge , with his straw bat pulled ; down over lila cars and trousers rolled up , strtdod up the canyon , bent on his dally occupation of sitting patiently on tha banks ot the river In the shade , waiting for the fish to bite. rall City r/thlnn * Uulohrute.
