THE SILVER.

Nashville is moving in the matter oil
giving some expression on the silver
question. A large mass meeting was
held the other night and resolutions
passed in favor OF remonetizing silver.
Such action should be taken all over the
country. The St. Louis Times suggests
that during tho recess of congress tie
people Of the West, Northwest, Sou. n
and Southwest should give expression to
their sentiments upon the great ques-
tons now before the national legislature
by holding meetings, adopting resolu.
tons, circulating and signing memorials
and petitions, and BY every possible
means strengthen the positions of the
congressman and senators who are con
tending for the popular good 10
their advocacy Of silver coinage, the
repeal Of the resumption act and
the modification of the revenue laws.
In this way the recess of congress may
be made immensely beneficial in affect
ing legislation that will reflect the will
of the people. The advocates of the
measures named will feel encouraged to
more vigorous action in the good work
that is calculated to restore prosperity to
the country, while the opposition will re-
ceive q warning that they cannot disre-
gard. The people must be active in the
expression of their demands upon legis.
Iators if they would secure the rights
guaranteed them by the constitution and
laws, and no more favorable opportunity
could be desired than that afforded by
the congressional recess. Who will lead
off in such a movement in Memphis2
Let the ball be set in motion. Memphis
is the commercial metropolis Of three
States, and should take the lead in shap-
ing public sentiment in regard to all
great questions in which our interests
are involved.

UNLESS the United States backs down
we are bound to have serious trouble
with Mexico. The Diaz government is
bound to assume a hostile attitude or 60
down. The people are fond Of warlike
excitement and hardly realize what a
wal with this country would amount to.
In order to unite his people and
keep up popular enthusiasm Diaz
is sending troops toward the
frontier. For the two regiments sent
toward the Rio Grande Disz sends
half q dozen. We are outnumbered
on the other side three to one. II is
estimated that Mexico could Immediately
march forty thousand men to the front,
and that this number could speedily be
increased to a%eventy.6ve thousand Such
an army would be resistless for time

strike for Austin or Houston and ravage
the fairest portionsof Texas before suff
cient force could be raised to repel the

be a matter Of time, for we could in three
months raise an army OF a half million
men if necessary-men who served il
