REMOyETIZING SILVER. The New York
U. S. Economist, journal of large intiu
ence at the East, says that % the great ma
iority whereby the House has passed the
bill for re:ssuing the silver dollar is in ac-
cord with our teachings The notes and
bonds of the United States were issued
when this dollar was in circulation, and it
was perfectly understood that the govern
ment had the option to pay in them where
not expressly stipulated to the country.
While the dollar of 412 grains is ROW at
discount, it remains to be seen whether it
viii be 50 after this new demand for silver
and the consequent decrease of demand
for gold have operated on the prices OF
both. Should silver remain for any length
of time at discount, the weight of the
silver dollar must be increased to equal a
gold dollar in value But by all means
let silver be coined to the fullest extent,
and as far as practicable let it replace rag
money, helping US thus to a hard money
basis for business TRANSACTIONS be hoped,
now that this bill haanpessed the House,

TIE super serviceable tool who per

the nomination of Hamilton, and
made the Carroll fraud Il possibility

presiding officer and engineer Of the

there was no occasion for other than
fair promises and fair words. The
flavor of the Ring was in everything,
and its seal upon every hand, and if

GOOD EFFECTS OF LOCAL OPTION.
A Calvert county correspondent of
the Baltimore County Lnioa, in
commenting upon the good results of
local option in the former county,
draws this picture: "The good effect
Of the law is seen in the improved
industry of the people and the more
thrifty appearance of house and farm.
The Office of jailor in Prince Fred
Grick is almost a sinecure. He is
fast becomir Q a gentleman Of leisure.
The business OF the court is growing
less. Give us ten years IF the good
enforcement of this law and we will
show an empty Jail, lawyers with
scarcely brief, judges without
criminal cases, taxes largely reduced,
churches better filled, and universal
good order"

refused to see them singly or in dele

heard a complaint from them as to

with the whites that the relation of

The Immense Grain Crons.

The Immense Grain Crops.
Mr.. Alexander Mitchell, president
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railroad, is in New YORK, ard
in conversation with a reporter gave
a glowing account Of the present
condition ofgrain crops in the West
and Of universal Improvement and
increased activity in business in that
section. He said:
"Whatever cause there may have
been for grunbling heretofore, there
certainly seems to me to be every
reason for satisfaction over the
present prospects, both agricultural
and commercial. AS to the first, l
can say that our receipts at MiIWau-
kee show that there has been more
grain raised in iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin this year than ever be
fore. This is partly due, no doubt,
to natural causes and partly to the
growing feeling on the part of the
people that they must strain every
nerve to use our resourc to the best
advantage. The quality Of the grain
OF all classes Is far better than the
average. The daily receipts at Mil

done. He admits that the Democrats

that the Solid South cannot be MAIN

Mr.. WHITES Convention.


Rochester yesterday had Mr.. Conk-
ling, the Maryland Democratic Con-
vention had Mr.. Whyte. If the one
was arrogant and dictatorial, the
other was cunning, crafty and per-
suasive. After Mr.. Whyte gets his
estate" fixed he is as pleasant and
courteous Il presiding officer as can be
found inside or outside the Demo
cratic organization. Even the dis
appointed politicians, upon whom he
has remorselessly put his foot, are
soothed and softened by his unctuous
manner, lie got along very well
yesterday with everybody but the
Workingmen. His hOneyed phrases
were lost upon the muscular young
politicians who have left the Demo-
cratic party and set up business for
themselves. They have had enough
Of Mr.. Whyte.
The convention was well managed.
No time was wasted in USELESS
experimenting. Mr.. Whyte wrote
the resolutions himself, and the APP
pointment of a committee to report
platform was q somewhat supper
tiuous fOrmality. a resolution on
the currency question which was not
proposed by Mr.. Whyte was sub
mitted to the committee, but, al
though it expressed the views of a
majority of the Convention, it was
not considered. We can find but
little fault with the platform as it
stands, although il is, as a whole, a
rather feeble declaration ofprinciples.
State issues are conspiculously ig-
nored. Any allusion to the oyster
| laws the registration law, or the as
sessment law would have provoked
debate, whereas Mr.. Whyte desired
that the harmony of the Convention
should not be disturbed.
There is not the most remote allu-
sion to the Chief Executive of the
State either in the platform or in the
report Of the proceedings Of the Con
vention. Nobody knows whether
the Democratic party approves Of
disapprOves Of the action of ,he Gov.
ernor in calling out the militia and
suppressing the strikes. Was Mr..
Whyte afraid to touch this delicate
subject, or did he want to ''snub''
Gov. Carroll? We are inclined to
think that this mysterious silence
about the late military campaign
means something more than the
Governors friends will be willing to
admit. But whatever the reason
may have been, the fact remains that
GOV. Carroll was not endorsed"
The nomination of Mr.. Heating
for Comptroller was a foregone con-
clusion, and was made by acclama-
ton. We may say that his speech
accepting the nomination did not
make a favorable impression upon
considers who knew nothing of
the man except what they had heard
from the gentleman who put his
name before the Convention. His
manner was excited, and his decIa.
nation was vehement to degree
not warrented by the very tame sur
roundings. The speeches made yes
terday evening were in good temper,
but they provoked no applause from
the WOrkingm en-. Both Congressman
Thomas and Senator Whyte spoke
kindly of the President, and prom

to occupy his Christmas holidays in
travel, and to go as far as New

Whether he go or not will depend
very much upon whether Congress
