THE SILVER CONFERENCE.
REP .RT TO CONGRESS OF THE AMERICAN
COMMISSIONERS AT PARIS.

REP .RT TO CONGRESS OF THE AMERICAN
COMMISSIONERS AT PARIS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The report of
the Commissioners on behalf OF the United
States who attended the International Mon
etary Conference has been printed for the
use of Congress. After making pre-
lininary statement regarding the assem-
bling in Paris on the 10th of August, it
says:
1t was the unmistakable sentiment Of
this conference, convoked by the United
States, that
THE EMoNETIZATIoN OF SILVER
had proceeded farther than was compati-
bic with the interests of Europe and Amer
lea, and while diplomatic considerations
prevented the formal declaration of any
opinion which would have been offensive
to the majority, the conference did not
hesitate to declare that the monetary func-
tions of silver ought to be maintained as
we'll as those of gold.
MoNoNErALIsM,
in the sense of the conference OF 1867, was
advocated in that Of 1873, by only three
delegations, none of which represented
populous states. In this connection the
position OF England is worthy of special
remark. That nation had set the exam
pie Of demonetizing silver, and after the
conference of 1867 recommended the gen.
eral adoption of gold recommendation. The
Chancellor of the Exchsquer, in Parlia-
ment, congratulated the country that
Europe was preparing to follow in the
same course.
THE CONFERENCE OF 1873
was attended on behalf of Great Britain
BY delegation eminent for ex-
perience ard economical authority, whose
chairman, the head of the parliamentary
committee Of 1876 on the depreciation of
silver" declared the universal gold memo

prove a false utopia that the consequences

the rejection of silver as money of full

ONE OF THE CURIosrTIE
of the debate on the Indian appropriation
bill in the House to-day was a speech from
Wright, Of Pennsylvania, the "old man
who likes to be called demagogue," in
which he opposed an appropriation of So
10000 for 'the non-producing, non-tax-
paying Irdi,ns, while not cent was ap-
proated for workingmen." Wright calls
the Indians "tax-eaters," and estimates
that, of $50 per Indian that is approprIa-
ted every year by the United States, the
Indian gets 81, and the officials of the In
dian Bureau get SIS. 1t is needless to say
that during Wright's remarks, members of
the House stood in breathless attention, and
upon his conclusion, Congreemen, with no
respect for sge or demagogue, shouted en-

THE Ministry in British Columbia have
presented to the Provincial Parliament a
memorial to the Crown, asking that the
union between the Province and the Do
minion OF Canada be dissolved. The peo-
pie Of the Province have never been happy
since they were coaxed into the Confedcra-
ton by promises which have not been per-
formed. A Canada Pacific railroad was to
have been constructed within five years,
but there is no more prospect now of the
road becoming an accomplished fact than
there was in 1870. British Columbia has
little or no interest in common with Can
ada. On the other hand, the commercial
interests of the Province are with the States
and Territories OF the Pacific, and its
natural drift is to the Union. But even
should the people Of British Columbia de-
sire annexation, it is hardly likely that
Great Britain would be willing to part with
her only possession IN the western coast of
the American continent between Behring
Straits to Terra del Fuego.

IA ia n general rule in politics, that If an
a~spirant for a Presidential nomination
loses his State in an election when he ought
N have carried it, he must Withdraw from
the list Of competing candidates. Tried
NV this rather severe rule, what becomes
of Mr.. Blaine and Thurman?
From the formation of the Republican
party down to the September contest of
this year, the Republicans of Maine never
failed to carry the Governor, all the MEM
bers Of Congress, and a decided majority
Of the Legislature. They have now lost
their candidate for Governor and two OF
the five members of Congress, while the
majority of the incoming Legislature will
be controlled by their opponents. In the
recent contest Mr.. Blaine led his party
without a rival, aud managed the cam
paign in his wi way from the beginning
70 the end. But in spite of all his efforts
the State went against him.
Must Mr.. Blaine, then, be stricken from
the list Of available Republican candidates
for the Presidency i'll 1880?
Last year Mr.. Bishop. the Democratic
candidate for Governor OF Ohio, obtained a
majority Of %, 800 over Judge West, the
Republican nominee for that Office. Mr..
Thurman bore a conspicuous part in that
contest. This present year the distin-
guishcd Senator was more than ever the
leader in the campaign. At the outset he
made q speech on the finances that con-
tanned some doctrines which bore a strong
favor Of soft money. He gave to his new
departure the name Of 1.-THE Ohio idea"
The recent battle was fought on the
ground selected by Mr.. Thurman. The
result Of the conflict is that the Republican
State ticket beats the Democratic State
ticket by a majority Of $500, thus showing
. Democratic loss Of 5000 on the popular
vote since last years election.
It does not alter this view Of the case to
say that the Democrats have elected eleven
Of the twenty members Of Congress, which
Is q gain Of three when compared with the
result Of 1876. This is due to the change
in the Congressional districts which the
Democratic Legislature made last winter.
The aggregate vote cast by the Democrats
and Republicans for Congressman is prob
ABLY about the same as that thrown for
their respective State tickets.
De these facts rule Mr.. Thurman off the
course as an available Democratic candi-
date for President in 1880?
Not many weeks hence events may an
swer these questions in respect to both
Blaine and Thurman. The result Of the
November elections may have a good deal
TODD with shaping this answer. However,
it will be safe to assume that James G.
Blaine and Allan G.. Thurman will be rather
lively members of the retired list Of Presi-
Dental candidates, and it will be well for
their rivals to keep an eye on them.
