That the free silver cause has rcncheil
the point of desperation la manifest.
The course of UH radical supporters al
most everywhere shows that , realizing
the certainty of their overwhelming de
feat , they are prepared to Justify every
charge of revolutionary and anarchistic
ntent that has been made against them ,
n their fanatical devotion to the silver
icresy they long ago refused to listen
o reason or to regard facts. All argil-
nont and all experience they rejected as
worthless. Hut they have pot beyoml
his and are endeavoring to throttle free
wpcech , thus exhibiting to the Ameri
can people their true character as a
, -lolent , reckless and disturbing clement.
The treatment of Secretary Carlisle at
Jovlnglon , Ky. . Is but ono of numerous
tistanrcs showing the Intolerant spirit
of the free sliver supporters. John G.
Carlisle Is one of Iho ablest men In pub
ic life , lie takes rank among the most
distinguished statesmen Kentucky has
traduced. He occupies an eminent posl-
Ion In the national administration. The
opinions of such a man on a great public
juestlon arc entitled to respectful con
sideration anywhere and everywhere ,
; t was to have been expected that they
would certainly receive such considera
tion In Kentucky , which has boon lion-
trod by hlw public services ; Hut Mr.
Carlisle was subjected to the most dis
graceful Insults at Covlngton. Not con-
.out with disturbing the meeting he was
addressing by boisterous demonstra
tions , the sllverltes hurled eggs about the
hall and on the platform. Whether any
of the.se missiles were thrown at the
HstliiQUlshcd speaker doe.'t uot appear ,
but none the less the outrage was a
lastardly one. Apprehending a personal
issault on Secretary Carlisle , his friends
lecmed It expedient to provide an escort
for him to his stopping place. If free
silver was not already doomed In Ken
tucky this Incident has killed It , for It
cannot bo doubted that there are thou
sands of reputable democrats In the
state who will resent this Insult to Its
most eminent citizen.
Other evidences of the Intolerance
and the desperation of the advocates
of rurri'iicy debasement and repudia
tion have recently boon furnished In
Ohio , Indiana , Illinois and elsewhere
all showing that they realize the hope
lessness of their cause. lleaten at
every point In the argument , the falla
cles of free silver exposed , even the
markets demonstrating the absurdity
of the sllverlte claims , It would seem
that the party of repudiation had de
termined to give little attention to ills
mission In the closing days of the cam
palgn and employ Itself with such
reckless and violent tactics as may In
timidate sound money voters and nt-
tract to Itself that element which It
susceptible to bluster and folt'T. Hut
the cause will not be helped by such
demonstrations , llathor will It drive
from Its support men who believe In
free speech anil fair play. *
Contemplation of the possibility of
Hiich nn element as Is the chief sup
port of the Chicago ticket obtaining
control of the government Is well cal
dilated to foster distrust and appro
honslon. It Is freely admitted that
there are many Intelligent men am
good citizens In favor of free silver
but largo numbers who nro supporting
that cause have little regard for law
and order and the leaders do not ills
coin-ago their violent spirit. Free sll
vor , however , will be defeated. Thai
Is assured. The present ebullitions ol
passion and hatred on the part of Its
supporters can. therefore , bo regardei
with complacency , especially as the
effect will be to make Its defeat more
decisive and overwhelming.

TIIK CJlAltOK OF COKHOIHN.
The charge made by the popocratlc
leaders and managers that there has
boon a general movement on the part
of the employers of labor to coerce their
employes In ( he present campaign Is one.
of the most groundless of the numerous
mendacities that have emanated from
the free sliver party. It has been as
sorted that coercion was especially prcv
aluiit In Chicago. One of the most trust
worthy newspaper correspondents In the
country , Major Carson of the Phlladul
phla Ledger , has Investigated thlsclmrgi
and could find no evidence' to sus
tain. Ho says In a letter froii
Chicago to his paper ( hat the
charge of Chairman Jones of the pope
cratlc national committee Is not only
baseless as against the employers , bu
Is an assault upon the intolllgenco ami
honesty of the employes. "There has
not , perhaps , " ho says , "ever been ai
election when there was so little Interference
ferenco with the wage earners by those
employing them , nor has there ever been
a time when there \vaa so little need 01
opportunity to ilo so. " This Is corrobo
rated by the Investigations of oilier cor
respondents. The St. Paul ( Hobo sent
tut reporters to a number ot Minnesota
OWUH especially to Investigate the
charge of coercion and they all reported
hat they found nothing of the kind. On
ho contrary they found that employers
vero particularly careful not to talk poll-
lea with employe * .
The chairman of tlio republican na
tional committee has taken a position
regarding thta matter which all repub-
leans approve. In the circular recently
issued by him ho says the national com
mittee Is ready to co-oporato with the
liopocratlc committee In Investigating
Iho charge of coercion of employes and
bringing to punishment any employer
Who may bo shown to have used coor-
Ion. It Is an offense punishable by law
mil the chairman of the republican com
mittee correctly says that any one hav
ing knowledge of such offense.1 and does
not proceed against the offender Is
cuually criminal with him. If Chair
man .Tones knows of nil } ' case of coer
cion ho should have the guilty employer
irrcstcd and he will find the repub
lican committee ready to boar 11,4 share
of the cost of prosecution. Hut Chair
man Jones has not been heard from and
is not likely to bo , because his charge
Is baseless. Thus one more popocratlc
falsehood Is disposed of.
VOTIXO OX THKAMKXIMKNTS.
For the first time In the history of
Nebraska voters will this year bo able
to vote on all of the constitutional
amendments submitted for their ratifi
cation either as a whole or separately.
This because the last legislature
amended the law relating 'to the sub
mission' constitutional amendments
so as to provide for the printing at the
top of the ballot "Amendments to the
Constitution Yes No. " Under the
amended law therefore the elector may
vote for or against all the proposed
amendments or questions printed on the
ballot by simply making a cross mark
opposite the word "Yes" or "No , " ac
cording to Iho answer ho wishes 'to give.
While this Is an Innovation In Ne
braska , It really applies to the constltu
tlonal amendments the system In vogue
in many states with regard to the entire
ticket whore the elector Is enabled by
putting a cross In a circle at the head of
a ticket to vote for all the names under
It or to vote for each candidate sepa
ratoly. Hut while the law relating to
voting on the amendments Is apparently
ontly simple and plain , there Is danger
of complications If the elector Ignorantly
or otherwise attempts to vote on all
the amendments together and then
again upon any or all of them separ
ately. Just what should be done with a
ballot marked "Yes" nt the top and also
"Yes" or "No" after different amend
ments will have to bo decided when the
case arises. Such ballots should un
questionably bo counted according te
the Intent of the voter provided that
Intent Is unmistakable.
To avoid confusion , however , to save
time In both voting and counting , ami
to accomplish Iho desired result most
directly and effectually , every votei
should mark his ballot for the const I
tutlonal amendments as a whole. Put
the cross after the word "Yes" where
It llr.st appears on the ballot and pay IK
attention to the remainder of the ticket
that follows. As a majority of all tin
votes cast at the election Is required tr
carry the amendment , the duty to voU
on this question cannot be too strong ! }
Impressed on the voter. One cross mark
after "Proposed Amendments to the
Constitution Yes , " will do the work.

With the various exhibitions of In
competency , extravagance' , law do
flame and worses on the part of the
present city council during the
past year fresh In their minds
It ought not to bo necessarj
to remind the citizens of Omaha
of the Importance of regenerating that
body with new , capable and reliable
men. Kvory taxpayer Is vitally Interested
estod In having a business ndmlnlstra-
tlon of the city's affairs by honest
officials acting In the Interest of the
public and not In the Interest of tax-
eaters and boodllng contractors. Kvery
citizen Is vitally concerned in having
the laws obeyed by the men sworn to
execute and obey thorn rather than
flagrantly and openly violated In spite
of their official oaths. Every Inhabitant
of the city Is anxious that Omaha shall
bo fully prepared to receive the visitors
to the great Transmlsslsslppl Exposition
and to leave with them a lasting Im
pression of Its substantial and progress
ive character.
The choice of councllmen at the com
ing election will-havo everything to do
with the question whether Omaha shall
have a reorganization of Us council and
an end of the combine that has boon
ruimliig things In that body with such
a high hand. On it will turn the ques
tion of an economical city government
and a moderate tax rate , or- unneces
sary expenditure , multiplied super
numeraries , Increased salaries and high
taxes. On It will devolve the duty of pre
paring for the exposition and outlining
and executing a vast scheme of public Im
provements. The next council will have
to deal with the great question of repav-
Ing and a ilozon other scarcely leiss Im
portant matters. For the city council
none but good , clean , honest men of
known business capacity.
As a matter of fact there Is no good
reason why the council should bo In
vested with the power to reject the
appointment of election officials and
throw their choice upon the few people
ple who congregate at the booths when
the polls open on election day. Instead
of being a check upon bad appoint
ments , this system simply enables the
different councllmen to hold the mayor
up. The mayor could do just as well
If ho had the power of appointing those
election olllccrs without dependence on
the council.
Whenever an employer proposes to do
anything that Is to benefit the wage-
worker , the sensible worklngman will co
operate with him. Whenever ho pro
poses to do anything to Injure the wage-
worker It Is the "right and privilege of
the workingman to oppose his employer
with all k'Kltlnmlo moans at Ills com-
mind. Wli9j ( ho wagoworkor , however ,

liortlon of the 'mayor's appointees for
election ollldnlii without giving him
tlmo to suggest"other " names. This , we
admit ; , Is ndt what the law contem
plates and calls for condemnation. Rut
It dates from a year ago , when tlio elec
tion olllclals appointed by Mayor Hcmts
wore hold up and garroted. At that
tlmo The Heo entered a vigorous protest -
test against the proceeding. Hut did
the World-Herald object ? Not at all.
Quito the contrary , It lent the council
combine secret aid and comfort. Now
that It Is getting a taste of its own
medicine , It pouts and makes wry
faces.
Mr. Hryan's speech nt Rochester ,
lull. , contains another of his Inten
tional mlsstateiiients which are becom
ing the common practice with him. He
quoted the Indiana republican platform
of 181)0 ) as reading : "We cordially
commend the action of the republicans
In congress on the suliject of free coin
age. " The plank In reality says noth
ing about free coinage , but commends
the action of the republicans In con
gress "on the subject of silver coin-
ago. " The action referred to was the
enactment of the Sherman silver pur
chase law. This Is only one Instance of
many where Mr. Itryan has deliber
ately strolled out of the way of the
truth.
The state treasurer Is the custodian
not only of tl.o state's revenues but
also of all Its trust funds. It Is of the
utmost Importance that the duly of
safeguarding this money bo Imposed
upon a man of sterling Integrity and
unblemished reputation for honesty.
Charles K. Casey , the republican candi
date for state treasurer , Is such a man.
The people who want every dollar of
tlio state's money accurately accounteil
for will see to It that he Is elected.
"Not more surely do the rules of
honesty and gond faith fix the standard
of Individual character In a community
than do these wtme rules determine the

The silver free coinage advocates say that
the decline In tbo prlco of silver when meas
ured In gold Is/dud to hostile legislation.
The advocates ofHhojgold standard say that
the change Is duo' tu an Increased produc
tion of silver , alncVv 1673. The facts support
the position of the gold men. Here Is an
estimate of the stock of gold and silver In
the world tn 1873 and In 1S95 made In the
Treasury department circular No. 123 , Issued
on July 1 , a revised edition of which ap

proved "by the greater powers of the

The letter was of course written In that
Impetuous nnd Intensely onrnost manner
which Is so characteristic of the archbishop
ot Minnesota. Others ot equal authority In
the church with himself might Imvo- ex
pressed these vlewfl with more cautious nnd
less heated language. U 1s the understand

not differ with Archbishop Ireland upon the
questions of public nnd private morality ,
which nrd so prominent In this cnnvaM , but
thnt ho merely objects to the exciting lan
guage with which Archbishop Ireland ex
pressed Ills views ,
Illshop Chatnrd of southern Indiana had
seen fit In a vnguo and entirely discreet way
to suggest that Archbishop Ireland might
have expressed his views with more of cau
tion , and yet Illshop Chatard frankly says
that with the vlowa themselves ho la In en
tire accord ,
Illshop Chatard was tn this city a few
weeks ago. There was nn ImporUnt nnd
solemn ceremonial ot the church , In which
ho assisted Archbishop Corrlgan nnd nome
of the other Influential clergymen of the

clergy and some distinguished laymen met

Intercourse.
Among the company was one democrat of

In defiance of the threats of party leaders ,
Is speaking to ? rcat audiences all over the
country against Hryanlsm. To this man
Archbishop Corrlgan said that It eecmcd
to him that no patriotic American and no
moral man could find It In his heart to obJect -
Joct to any proper effort which wns being
ninde to stamp out the Influences which the
lirynn movement represents. Then Arch
bishop Corrlgan said , speaking very earn
estly :
"This Is not a mcro question of politics.
It Is not an ordinary party controversy.
Party lines nro obliterated , for this. Is n
question of ethics , of morality , of honesty
and ot order. There Is a higher law than
any moro party rule. "
And ho added that no man could bo ac
cused of being less a democrat , or bo made
liable to any taunts , who stood resolute In
his opposition to the forces -which are
making for dishonor.
This opinion Illsliop Chatard warmly
seconded. U was a question ot othlcs , of
morality , and for that reason ho believed
It entirely proper for those whoso duty It
Is , as clergymen , always to Inculcate the
lessons of truth , virtue , private and na
tional honor , to speak now In support of
these things. Men might , while acting In
opposition to these repugnant Influences ,
support the candidates of the republican
party or of the national democracy. That
wns something for each Individual to deter
mine. Hut every man who believes In pub
lic nnd private morality and who had faith
In the permanence ot American Institutions
could without any Just censure from party
associates net in opposition to thcso now
forces.
H Is now mndo clear that the greater
powers of the Catholic church are not only
looking with alarm upon tbo doctrine which
Ilryan preaches , but feel free to depart from
their custom and to gound , each In his own
way , n note of warning. Yet , If In other
parts of the country there bo no greater
need for such warning than Is the case In
this city , these nppcnln will meet with In-
stnnt sympathetic response from the great
body of faithful members of the church.
The pastor of ono of the largest Catholic
congregations In this city snld to the Press
correspondent the other day that If there wns
a member ot Ills' parish who had decided to
vote for Drynn that man had yet to bo dis
covered , and the pastor at ono ot the larger
Catholic churches In Harlem Bald that ho
felt sure tint out of his entire parish less
than 10 per cent of the members would vote
for Uryan.
That wns , ho thought , the feeling In nil
tlie parishes of the city , nnd he added that
thp Catholic , clergymen , felt Unit In this
crisis they , were as Justified In counclllug
their parishioners to refuse to support
Dryanlsin ns that true statesman nnd great
authority In the church. John Hughes , once

Situation.
New York World , Oct. 21.
First Mr. McKlnley's election Is certain.
As the World showed over two months ago
In Us "nutshell" Illustration and map , he
Is reasonably sure of the seventeen eastern
nnd middle states New England. New
York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania , Delaware ,
Maryland , Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , Michigan ,
Wisconsin nnd Iowa. They cast 229 elec
toral votes five more than a majority.
Second Mr. Bryan Is reasonably sure of
seventeen states. Us will get every state
that fully or partially entered the con
federacy South Carolina , Virginia , North
Carolina , Georgia , Florida , Alabama , Ten
nessee , Mississippi , Louisiana. Arkansas ,
Missouri and Texas. He will get every
silver mining camp state Nevada , Colorado
rado , Utah , Idaho and Montana. These
seventeen states cant 145 electoral votes.
Third Of the remaining eleven states ,
four Kentucky. Minnesota. West Virginia
and North Dakota are also certain for Mr.
MeKlnley. They cast thlrty-ono electoral
votes. They were not Included with the
seventeen MeKlnley stales because their
votes are not needed and the simplicity of
the comparison Is greater without them.
They will Increase Mr. McKlnlcy'a vote
from 229 to 2CO. This leaves seven states
to be accounted for California , Oregon ,
Washington. Wyoming , South Dakota ,
Kansas nnd Nebraska , The probabilities are
that Mr. Bryan will get the most of their
forty-two electoral votes.
Fourth The next senate will have a
small but secure majority for sound money.
The next liouse of representatives will
have a working republican majority. The
MeKlnley administration will therefore
have the power to make law.

Anxious times follow when a nation's cur
rency Is not on a sound basis. The with
drawal of the support of gold from the sliver
now in circulation , and the free and un
limited coinage of sliver , would mean that
silver would sink at once to Its bullion
value. Kvery wage earner and every ono In
business of any eort would be hanging on
the ragged edge. The purchasing power of
every dollar would bo equal to Us bullion
value , anil no more. It might bo moro to
day and less tomorrow. Watch silver not/ .
It Is going down. It has been falling over
slnco Bryan was nominated. ( And yet It
might bo assumed that It would rise It there
were any chance of Bryan and silver win
ning at the coming election. ) With free
slltfer our silver and gold would both be
quoted from day to day , Just as Mexican
dollars are quoted now In the dally news
papers , for gold would go to a premium.
There Is no fiat In a gold dollar , It Is all
actual value. The purchasing power ot
the silver dollar under free coinage would
bo exactly equal to the bullion value. Vote
for sound money and a dollar that docs not
cause anxiety. A stable currency U ab
solutely essential to confidence and pros
perity. A fluctuating currency means dis
aster.

An the campaign In boul clo lnn , weIn -
vlto nil dully wage ernor to consider the
words of n noted manufacturer , nn ardent
champion of silver , who hns hnd the lion-
raty to toll frankly Iho true reasons ( or the
desire to iKko the change proposed. The
silver men in this country , the Bryanltcs ,
Imvo not dared to pcnk the truth regard-
Inc free silver's effect on wages , but It has
been told by an earlier silver advocate than
Bryan , nnd H will bo well to hear his
confession now.
A little moro than a year ago n great
Kngllth curret maker , Blr Henry Meysey.
Thompson , observing the constant rloo In
wages during the last twenty years nnd the
over growing difference between wages In
gold standard countries , llko England nnd
America , and In silver standard countries ,
llko Mexico nnd Chlnn , offered a prlzo for
essays on the subject. The prize was
awarded to the British consul nt Shanghai ,
Mr. Gcorgo Jnmkwon. The kernel of Mr ,
Jamlcson's essay Is the kernel ot the whole
silver movement.
"Wages In gold-using countries have be
come , through the appreciation of gold , "
snld Mr , Jamloson , or , ns ho would hnvc
tmld more accurately , through the deprecia
tion of silver , "a hundred per cent , dearer
than they were relatively to silver wages ,
The manufacturer In the silver-standard
couiltrles can obtain his labor at half tno
cost relatively to gold wages which ho for
merly paid. "
In gold countries wages have risen with
gold , nnd In silver countries they have fallen
with silver , until now1 the discrepancy Is so
great that Oriental Industry , which Is
on the ova of entering on serious rivalry
with thnt ot the west , Is declared
to possess so tremendous nn advantage
over the west tlut the lalter's only
hope Is to cut wages also. Cutting them by
direct reduction being too dlfilrult nnd too
disturbing , the only way Is to make the cut
beneath the surface , by changing the money
standard from the metal gold , of high value ,
to the motnl silver , of low value. That un
doubtedly Is the Idea which Inspires the ma
jority of the few , but much multiplied , "hi-
mctalllsts" of Europe. It Is not surprising
that It has not been expounded by Bryan.
The argument for thus splitting a
gold country's wage figure Is sound
beyond dispute. For Instance , If
wo should elect Bryan and
a Bryan congress , and make silver coinage
free , measuring the vnluo of the dollar by
Its stnndnrd weight In silver Instead of
ltd standard weight in gold , thus cutting
wages by 50 per cent , It would jnnko this
country an Irresistible bidder for trade In
every quarter of the globe. Think of the
effect ot cutting United States wages CO per
centl But a chance for n vastly more start
ling Industrial revolution would still bo left.
What It the American workmen should go
to their employers and agrco to work for
nothing , or to have their wagca cut 100 per
cent ; what other country could compete
with the United States then In manufactur
ing ? Wo should undersell the earth. The
making of goods fit for exportation would
experience a boom undreamed of by the moat
sordid and oppressive capitalist ever known.
Yet what Bryan orator , from the boy him
self to the most worthless tramp who can
bo hired to talk for him , will openly plead
for the experiment ?
This Is the direction In which the free
silver campaign leads. Wo don't wonder
that the repudiation movement has ceased
to rely mainly on the free silver craze.
which Is dally moro and moro mixed with
understanding of Its practical results , and
has turned to the agitation la the minds of
wage earners of mallco and vlndlcttvcncss
against capitalists and all who believe In
holding sacred the national credit and the
first rule of business , that Is , honesty.
How many dupes can the boy agitator
pcrsuado to vote against the honest money
candidate , William MeKlnley ? The an
swer to that pitiful question will measure
the now certain triumph of honest money.

Mr. Joseph B. Sargent , democratic can
didate for governor of Connecticut , and ,
of course , running on a free coinage plat
form , says that It has occurred to him that
"frco 'coinage of silver ' , thrust suddenly upon
us , might upset 'the equilibrium of the
country during the tlmo elapsing while It
was being brought Into perfect operation. "
This Is a candid admission ot what all
the opponents and many of the advocates
of frco coinage believe would bo the Inevi
table result of the adoption ot that policy.
To "unset the cnulllbrlum" means a nanlc.
and tlio general belief of financiers and
business men Is that frco coinage would
produce a moro calamitous disturbance In
trade , manufactures and all other branches
of business than this country has ever
known.
Mr. Morcton Frowen of London , who Is
very desirous of having the United States
try the free coinage experiment , Is frank
enough to say that "there would , " In his
opinion , "undoubtedly be a big money panic
In this country , " but ho braces up our
nerves with the gratifying assurance that
"tho country Is strong enough to stand It. "
Mr. Bryan has been quoted In the same
general direction , though less distinctly. Ho
has said that the country could bo restored
to prospcrltyonly by "extreme measures. "
Similar expressions have cropped out In
many of the speeches and writings of frco
coinage advocates.
Wo do not know that a majority of the
voters of the United States are opposed
to "upsetting the equilibrium of the coun
try. " Wo cannot say that "a big money
panic" has any terrors for them , It may
bo that they really believe the country Is
In need of " "
such "extrememeasures" as
will turn things topsy-turvy. If wo look
back four years wo find the period of max
imum prosperity In the United States , nnd
wo find , too , thnt the people rose up and
voted out the party under which that pros
perity had been attained. With that example -
plo In mind It would bo Idle to predict
what the majority will do or decline to
do this year.
But wo commend the frankness with
which tbo free coinage crusaders admit
the natural , unavoidable results of the
change which they propose. They know
that the country cannot xlldo from n gold
to a silver basis as a ship slips along the
ways from the builder's yard Into the water.
They know that , Instead of an , easy , grace
ful slide , It will bo n crash.

Slnco Bryan wan nominated sixty-one
American cities and counties , according tea
a list In the "Bond-Buyer , " have endeavored
to sell their bonds to the amount of $11-
IS0.25G and have failed.
Every dollar ot this sum would have been
spent on public Improvements. All but a
minute fraction would have been paid out
directly to labor. Not ono penny of It Is
available , because men with capital will not
risk It under current conditions. No pru
dent man Is willing to loan dollars on a
gold basis when Bryan and his backers are
urging that such Ti loan bo paid back on 11
silver basis , In dollars worth half as much.
What Is true of these bonds offered by
cities and counties Is true of millions of
dollars moro In other enterprises In bonds
for railroads , In building operations. In Im
provements and In mined and manufactures.
Work In all thcso lines Is halted because
money cannot bo borrowed and bonda cannot
bo sold and labor walls , without work or
wages , until It Is clear that the existing gold
standard Is to bo maintained.

What the German nowspnpors nro saying

Uut , coming on the heels or the jubilant
articles of the French papers over the recent
visit of the czar nnd cznrlnn to I'nrls , the
style of the comments Indulged In by the
British press wns felt to 'bo Intolerable. nnd
to demand some notice. The practical sig
nificance of this volcanic eruption of rrlll-
clsm on the part of the German papers , however -
over , lies In Us tendency to heighten Ger
man hatred toward England , enabling the
government at nn opportune moment to pot
the country to acclnlm open hostility to
England , either diplomatic or actively phys-
leal. When a calm-toned Catholic paper llko
the Cologne Yolkszcltung , now the leading
organ of the centrist party In the west of
Germany , denounces England as conspir

exciting the Italian government to desert

Ing * that n fotmldablo rebellion menaces the
colonial government of Franco In the Island.
The last advices were that the wandering
bands of nrmcd natives were mobilizing1 be
fore Antananarivo , the capital , where there
are only 2,000 French troops to defend the
place , the remainder of the army of occu
pation being scattered throughout the In
terior , where the small commands are In
dally conflict with the rebels. General
Galllcnl has received orders from 1'nrls to
put down the rebellion with nil possible
speed , and , moreover , to make Intrigues at
the llovaa court In Antananarivo Impos
sible. It Is reported In the war ofllco that
12,000 troops of the regular army will soon
bo sent to reinforce those In Madagascar ,
nnd that preparations nro already under
way In Toulon for their transportation.
The new expedition will cost In the neighborhood -
borhood of 20,000,000 francs , and the gov
ernment will ask credit for that sum when
parliament shall come together next week.
The alTalr of Madagascar simply offers
another Illustration of the failure of the
Latin races In seeking to to maintain , by
force of arms , conquered colonies. It forma
n strong contrast to the llrltlsh procedure.
