to have a representative, is the fact
that; they invariably pass a long string
of resolutions to the effeot that
“they” favor bimetallism if it
oan be secured by inter-
national agreement and then “resolve”
further on without reference to any
kind of an agreement that bimetallism
is a fallacy and should cot be thought
of .The whole thing simmered down is a
plea fer the single gold standard and
we have only 1573,000,000 of that metal
in the United States, and nearly a
fourth of this amount was gotten by
giving the Rothohilds bonds for it.
THE “CURRENCY” SCHEME.
It was and is yet the intention of the
financiers of this great repablio, to
whose vast banefit it would be, to re-
place silver, not with currency issued
by the govarnment, which msans the
people, bat by a bank currenoy back
edwith wind. The money question
was purposely kept in the back ground
and the tariff made to overshadow it
at tho last national conventions in or-
der to give the financiers time to oarry
their currenoy schemes through con-
gress during the life of the present ad-
ministration. But happily the con-
traction oame too soon and the people
began to olamor. The bankers made
gigaaiio efforts ti enact a banking cur-
rency law and they brought the strong-
est influence to bear upon congress,
but their efforts met with defeat and
it remains to be seen whether the peo-
ple are going to be rulsd by tbe money
power and its demagogues or by tho
result of an intelligent suffrage.
One of the great panaceas for the
cure of hard times advanced by the
banker? at tho time they had the cur-
rency plans under consideration by
congress and when tho people were
being pinched was that the system was
subject to elestloity (they neglected
to state contraction as well) whioh in
itself was sufficient to brand it ts dan-
gerous because it would allow the
bankers to contract and expand
the currenoy at will and thereby en-
rich themselves at the expense of a
deluded people.

THE POWER OF THE SUPREME COURT
Carlisle, whom the silver men
formerly looked upon as the bright
star in toe horizon. is now epeaking at
the “sound money” conventions and
is supposed to represent the adminis-
tration. _
The people of El Paso have declared
many times for boriDg for artesian wa-
ter. They have held mass meetings,
conventions, elected administrations
and voted water bonds tor tbs purpose
and yet no successful effort has been
made to demonstrate whether the wa-
ter is obtainable here or not. The
present administration should use
every effort to BatUfy the oltlzans in
this respect and the matter should be
taken in hand early. For whether tbe
water can be obtained or not the people
will always think it can until it is dem
onatrated to the contrary.
His Career as a Reckless Talker and as a
Gallant Naval Officer.
Rear Admiral Richard Warsam Meade,
retired, whose recent criticisms of tlio
administration caused a great deal of
court martial gossip, has long been
known as one of the great- talkers of tho
navy. When ho has anything to say, ho
says it regardless of rules and regula-
tions. A number of years ago he resign-
ed from tho navy and went into rail-
roading as one of Jay Gould’s lieuten-
ants. Olio of his first acts was to give
out a sensational interview to a railroad
reporter, The interview causeg a flurry
in Wall street, and as Jay Gould did not,
favor lieutenants who talked Meade
speedily applied for reinstatement in the
navy.
Admiral Meade was born in New York
city Oct. 9, 1837, and was appointed a
midshipman from California in Octo-
ber, 1850. He was a son of Richard Wor-
sam Meade, a. naval officer who rose to
the rank of commodore, and a nephew
of General George Gordon Meade, the
hero of Gettysburg. Ho has cruised in
overy sea and served on nearly all the
famous ships of the navy during tho past-
45 years. His first command of impor-
One of the peouliar thing? to be ob-
served in reference to the “sound
money” conventions bBlr-g held in dif-
ferent part9 of the aonntry and at
whioh the administration does not fall
The desoision in the income tax casa
serves to illustrate In a very impres-
sive way the tremendous power of the
suprame ccurt. It can undo the work
of congress and by a bare majority, a?
in this instance, make a law null and
void. The authority it exeroises is
superior to that of both the legislativa
and executive branches of the govern-
ment. There is no appeal from its de-
cisions, and no way to modify them;
they are final and absolute, and all
other agencies in our political system
are bound by them. In England, when
a measure Is passed by parliament, it
becomes the law and takes effect im-
mediately, without assent or hindrance
on th3 part of the sovereign or the ju-
diciary. The law making power Is su-
preme there, and thaonly function of
the courts Is to enforce it decrees.
Generally throughout Europe, with
the exception of Russia and Turkey,
there is no judioial tribunal to
pass upon the validity of laws. Even
in Switzerland, with its democratic
form of government, the only power to
invalidate legislation is vested in the
people, through .the referendum; the
federal essembly^r congress can impose
any tax, and its notion oannot be re-
vised otherwise than by a popular vote
demanded by 30,000 citizens in a popu-
lation of 30,000,000.
It Is well known, of coarse, that the
founders of our government establish-
ed the supreme court after careful
deliberation and for purposes of vital
importance. Our written constitution
makes suoh a tribunal indispensable;
there must be some authority to settle
questions affecting the structure and
operations of the government,
or it would go to pieces in
the clash of controversy. More
than onoe, we have thus been saved
from serious dangers. The supreme
court has not always made correct de-
cisions, as its own reversals go to snow;
but the oountry has always had confi-
dence in its ability and Integrity, and
Us authority has been profoundly re
speoted. All of the South American
republics have Rimilar tribunals; and
it may be said that in the whole of tho
western hemisphere, with the excep-
tion of Canada, the idea of a judicial
veto on legislation is in praoticai opera-
tion. The power to ornsh laws passed
by the representatives cf tho people
may seem to be inconsistent with the
theory of Republicanism; hat in fact,
the Supreme court stands between
tho people and ail attempted invasions
of their rights. It is their bulwark
egalnst arbitrary and unauthorized
legislation. Tho constitution is In lfco
keeping end it is to be relied noon to
prevent infractions or perversions of
that instrument by those who are in
trusted from time to time with the
duties and responsibilities cf law task
ing —Globe Democrat.
REAR ADMIRAL MEADE, RETIRED.
tanc^i was tlio ironclad Louisiana of the
western flotilla in 1863, and tho next
year ho commanded the gunboat United
States in her chase of tho troublesome
privateer Taeony.
During the draft riots in New York
in 1863 he was in command of the naval
brigade that did excellent shore duty.
During the operations around Charleston
harbor in 1863 Meade, then a lieutenant
commander, was in charge of the gun-
boat Marblehead. On Christmas morn-
ing, while at anchor near Legareville,
she had an hour and a half engagement
with Confederate batteries ou John’s is-
land. The Marblehead was struck 20
times during the engagement and had
three men killed and four wounded. The
batteries were silenced, and Meade per-
sonally led a shore expedition that not
only captured two eight inch seacoast
howitzers, but dragged them to the beach
and landed them aboard the Marble-
head. He was publicly complimented
for his gallantry. He was also highly
complimented later by Admiral Farra-
gut for his work in cutting out the
blockade runner Delphina under the
enemy’s guns.

Wonderful Popularity of tlio 3port In New
York and Interesting Cycling Statistics.
There arc 25,000 bicycles in the great-
er New York, according to the estimate
of the editor of a leading weekly news-
paper devoted to wheeling interests.
There are nearly 300 different makes of
bicycles on the market, some of (ho fac-
tories working double time, and 500,000
new bicycles will be turned out in Amer-
ica during the year 1895. There are 25,-
000 bicycles in use in New York and
Brooklyn, and if to these are added 10,-
000 more in use in that part of New
Jersey which is morally a part of the
greater New York it is probable that
thero will be from 50,000 to 75,000 of
tho silent steeds seen on the park drives,
boulevards and suburban roadways be-
fore the present season closes.—New
York World.
Don Dickinson Said to Aspire to the Pres-
idential Chair.
In t-lio gossip of Washington Don
Dickinson has loomed up ms a possible
candidate in 1896. His friends believe
this is tho significance of his recent
speech concerning the foreign policy of
this government.
If Dickinson js really out for the
presidential nomination, he will prove
a formidable competitor. His geograph-
ical situation is considered advanta-
geous- He will have the support of the
administration to a large degree. It is
an open secret that Dickinson has more
influence with Cleveland than any other
living man, not excepting Dim Lamout
or Secretary Gresham. He is nearer
“tho old man,” as officials speak of the
president, than Whitney ever was. He
maintains his influence with Mr. Cleve-
land, too, without loss of self respect,
for ho is quite as frank and positive in
his dealings with Mr. Cleveland as with
any one else.
Dickinson declined to be secretary of
stato in this administration, and it has
all along been understood by his friends
that ho did so for the purpose of making
some money during the four years aud
of holding himself in an independent at-
titude with 1896 in view. Ho is a man
of wonderful energy, iff great executive
ability and cf a certain sort of enthusi-
asm which wins fa. t friends and is gen-
erally dubbed “magnetism.” He has j
been described as a man who makes it
a rule not to talk about thing.;, bat to
do them. If he cornea out as a presi-
dential aspirant, the Gorman cro wd will
at once whip out its knife, for there is
no love to be lost between Gorman and
Dickinson. —Chicago Times-Herakl.
WILD RIDE ON THE CARS.
Wonderful Escape of a Ilrakemrm on si
Runaway Train.
The Southern Pacific road recently ex-
perienced one of tho wildest runaways
known in Pacific coast railroading. Graf-
ton,-a suburb of Redlands, is tho ter-
minus of tlio Redlands branch of the
Southern Pacific, and though the ice fac-
tory near Grafton is but three miles
away it is over 600 feet above Redlands,
the road having the heaviest grade on
tho Pacific coast.
Whilo two freight cars were being
switched at the icehouse tho brake chain
gave way, and tho cars started down the
grade, soon reaching a terrific speed.
Brakeman Frank Vetters was the only
man on the cars. Ho stood at his post as
they flew through and across tho busi-
ness streets here.
On reaching the freightyard they took
different tracks. The one on which Vet-
ters was riding overturned, a corner was
buried in the ground for a second, and
then the entire car jumped into tlio air,
not touching the ground for over 50 feet,
meanwhile turning end over and land-
ing bottom up.
Vetters was seen to leave the car at
the point where it first struck the ground.
Ho shot through tho air and was picked
up 180 feet away. It seems marvelous
that he had but two broken bones, and
there is no evidence that His injuries
will prove fatal. His jaw and ankle are
| broken, and ho is badly cut and bruised,
but he did not lose consciousness.
The fact that the ice in the cars was
driven through the ends and sent 1,000
feet down the track below the wreck is
an evidence of tho terrible speed attain-
ed by the cars.—San Francisco Chroni-
cle.

Krltlcli ‘‘Red Coals.”
We never think cf her majesty’s sol-
diery as being attired in other than red
coats and brass buttons, but there was a
time when the regulation uniform of
British soldiers was entirely different
from what it is today. In the timo of
Henry VIII tho colors worn by the army
were green and white; later on, white,
with a red cross on iho breast. The first
mention of the “red coats,’’which were
so detested by the American patriots of
Revolutionary times, is found in a cir-
cular letter by Edward, carl of Derby.
It bears date of 1547, and is to the effect
that “hereafter all foot and light horse
soldiers will appear in a red coat made
in cassock fashion.”—St. Louis Repub-

government rifles. They are now trying
to find out how they got there.
