Oueen Victoria’s Birthday.

In the quiet of yesterday the Queen
of Great Britain and Empress of India
reached her seventy-seventh birthday.
If she lives another year, she will break
the record of her insane ancestor,
George III. The Victorian age has
been the most brilliant in English his.
tory.

peare, a Raleigh, and others of the most
magnificent figures in human history,
but in progress, the days of Victoria’s
reign have been vastly more “spacious.”

This most excellent woman, by ex-
ample and precept, has kept her, court
clean and wholesome and made the
record of a model sovereign, wife and
mother.

Free Silver aad Secession.

There’s one logical free silverite out
in the “wild and wooly West.” He is
a party by the name of Belford. He
was elected and served in Congress for
one term, when the other fellow ousted
him and got the Seat because a majority
of the House didn’t agree with Belford’s
political views. He is a native of Penn-
sylvania, having been born in the bean-
tiful valley of the J nniata, but he went
to Colorado a quarter of a century ago
as a territoral Judge, and he is known
as one of the most eloquent screamcrs
of the Rockies.

Belford is nothing if not heroic, and
what he thinks, or what he thinks it is
his interest to think, he doesn’t hesitate
to any right out in meeting. He has
been out of public employment for
some years; he is weary of solitude, and

.i'he won’t allow anj szizcr free eagle to

. routscream him in his devotion to bas-

4}

 

~wtard money if he can help it. 'Free
:silver is the popular tide in that section
;just now, and Belford not only knows
.how to plunge into the biggest wave
that comes along, but he has the ability
to enthuse others to follow him.:

Eli-9‘3 Politician in Colorado for some
tinié past hasllceen trying to get ahead
of all his fellows in the extravagance of
his arguments in favor of free silver,
but Belford has} outstripped them all.
He delivered a speech before the Young
Men’s Silver Club,‘, of Denver, a few
evenings ago, andlhe boldly proclaimed
that the country must choose between
the free coinage of silver with 50 cents
or so stamped as a dollar, or there must
be secession of the Western States
from the Union. He declares that the
time has come when the West must
have something to say about the affairs
of the government, and that “there is
danger now that a division may come in
this government when the Mississippi
River may become the Eastern bound-
ary line of the new Western Republic.”
So far from condemning the brilliant
free silver secessionist of Colorado we
think that he is entirely logical and en-
titled to commendation. ,

A man who is silly enough to be-
lieve that a great government leading
all the civilizations of the world in en-
lightened progress, must reduce its
money system to that of the Pagan,
with the additional crime of - declaring
a half dollar to be a dollar, doesn’t ad-
vance a hair’s breadth in ‘tomfoolery
when he declares that if cheap money

can’t rule, the cheap money people
shz-nld secede from the government.

It would he a thousand fold better
for;the West to secede and set upa
goveri ment of its ,own than for a great
nation to accept a money system that
would plunge its people and its great
interests into bankruptcy and forfit the
confidence of every‘enlightened nation
of the earth. As the free silver freaks
of Oul‘Ol'adO insiéz that free silver must
rule, their only chance of getting such
a rule is to set up for themselves and
try to find some place where people
can be cheated out of half of what they
earn, while compelled to pay double
price in cheap money for everything
they buy. Q.

We think. that Belford isright. If
the cheap money system is logical then
free silver secgssionfis legical, and we
thank the brilliant and courageous Bel-

l ford for hayingpresented the logical

, issue of the free silver craze. He can’t
get free- silver,.,and asheand' his fellow

 

“The spacious days of great ,
Elizabeth” produced a Bacon, a Shakes?

 
 

faeaks won’t have anything else, they
"are certainly entitled to set up for them-
selves if the country will let them do so,‘

’ and. there is little doubt that the coun-

try would permit thcm to do so if they
could find some place where their folly
wouldn’t interfere with anybody but
themselves. .

They might emigrate to Mexico, or to
China, where they could get free silver
to their heart’s content, only they
wouldn’t he allowed to cheat anybody

' stamping half a dollar as a dollar, but

if they can’t emigrate, we commend
the heroic Belford for insisting that if
there is anything in free silver the issue
should be free silver or secession. Let
the band play. I

Still Have Confidence.

Some time since, Deputy sheriff Fred
S. Lyon, jr., served legal papers on W.
S. Gorham of Chestnut Hill, to recover
on a claim presented by Sherman G.
Morrell. A check was received in set-
tlement of the claim but it is alleged
thatit proved to be worthless. Later
another check was uttered in lieu of
the first one and it is said that on its
presentation at the bank to-day, it was
“declined with thanks.” The holders
of the check have not, however, lost all
confidence in its value and hope to in
not to exceed two sunsets, be able to
have the same cashed.

 

O

 

Hoyt’s Theatre.

Hoyt’s Theatre offers as its attraction
on Wedndsday evening that particular-
ly delightful play Denman Thomwson’s
“Old Homestead.” The presentation
will be by the same capable company
who were seen here last, and from their
splendid portrayal of the quaint char-
actors at that time, will be pleasantly
remembered by the admirers of the
play. The scenic surroundings are an-
nounced as realistic as ever and true to
nature in detail. The songs, which are
to be rendered by the clever singers
who have always .figured so naturally
in the piece, are new and will be found
as charming as can he wished for.
