The Municipal Entente Cordiale.

We print interviews with Comptroller
Kelly and with the president of the Lotos
Club, and also the description of IN attempt
to interview Mayor Cooper, although what
our reporter succeeded in getting from him
was q Barmecide feast, where the forms Of
an interview were gone through with, but
the entertainment consisted Of empty
dishes. We do not blame the Mayor for
his resolute reticence. He has been as
frank with US as he was to his fellow
guests at the Lotos Club; his speech to
them, like his conversation with our
interviewer, being Of the veritable Barme-
eide order. He declines to express any
opinion of MI. Kelly or his motives but he
certainly has reason to be fattered with the
spontaneous tribute which the Comptroller
paid to his moral worth. Praise from
political opponent is praise indeed, but
distinction is to be made between the wooer
and the wooed. The boldness which be-
comes the former does not quite befit the
coyness of the latter. The political maiden
hood of Mayor Cooper explains his decent
reserve. The maiden who ''never told her
love- still reciprocated the sentiments of
her admirer. When MayoaSooper becomes
older in Office he may possibly put off some
of his maidenly coyness.
Comptroller Kelly, who is the wooer on
this occasion, il perfectly frank and ingen-
uous in the interview, as he was in his
speech, In replying to the toast he gave
70 his rao1 20 10
repeats in the interview all that he said
in his speech, showing that the un-
premeditated effusion of the moment is
the deliberate conviction of his mind. We
have no doubt that he will act in the spirit
of his frank and generous declarations and
will do what he can to aid the Mayor in the
policy set forth in his message. Such o
course will be as wise for the Comptroller
himself as it will be conducive to the true
interests of the city.
The statements of the president of the
Lotos Club are as satisfactory as they are
unreserved. He may be reasonably proud
Of his successful effort to bring about the
entente cosdiale Having invited the Mayor
as the honored guest Of the evening he was
entitled to invite such other guests as
would not mar the occasion, and Mr.. Kelly's
acceptance was guarantee of his respect
and kindness for the new Mayor. 1t would
have been great point simply to bring them
together at hospitable board. But the
frank and happy speech of the Comptroller
made the invitation a great hit The
pleasant result does equal credit to the
social talents and to the public spirit Of the
president Of the Lotos Club.

better and cheaper goods. India makes
her own cloth and raises her own cotton,
and will soon be in the Chinese if not in
the English and American markets. As
consequence the cotton trade in England is
depressed. What is worse, it is a depres-
sion from which there is no recovery.
English business men see that their boosted
invincibility was sham, and that once
American enterprise met them in a fair
field there WAS no doubt Of the result 10
parody the favorite lingo song that has
been ringing in the English music halls for
the last two years
We've got the land. we've got the brains, and we've
got the money too.
SO far as this affects the happiness of the
working and business classes in England,
bringing distress and depression upon
them, it is not a pleasure to our people.
We would much rather that our triumphs
were not won ut the expense of other M
tions. Distress in Lancashire throws n
shadow over prosperity in New England.
But it is not our fault, and we had our own
period, and it was a long and dreary period
Of sorrow and distress and depression. It
is pleasant to feel, as our correspondent
points out, that If America is, inadvertently,
and from no wish Of her own, the chief
cause of the distress in England she may
happily be one of the means of England's
recovery. Emigration is the panacea, and
our correspondent bids us prepare for q
large emigration from England and of the
best people of England. Let them come

PROBABLE EFFECT,

|: sDectos Disputch to TIE Tribune. =
WASHINGTON, D. c., hfay 24-The probable
effect OF the Warner Silver bill is described In
the following interview with Representative
Cameron OF Illinois to-night,--whose amend
nlent yesterday alone prevented the repeal Of
the Silvcr-Doll1r net OF last year. Mr.. C;m-
eron said: s*1'he bill rs it passed the House
will neither increase or decrease the coinage Of
the silver dollar, nor, will the holders Of silver
bullion deposit the same and receive certificates
Tor use in the payment Of duty u1der its pro-
visions, for the reason that the bullion Is to be
received at its market value in coin by the Gov
ernmcnt, and it would be less trouble for the
bullion owuerto sell the same and receive its
value direct in funds, which eau be used Inn
mediateIy for any purpose, than it
would to receive therefor at the same
price certificates OF deposit, which
can ouly.be realized as specified in the bill.
The bill would have prevented any further coin.
age OF the silver dollar or increase Of silver cir
cu1ation had. it not been for the amendment
adopted yesterday, providing in effect that If all
such bullion deposited for coinage under its
provisions does not amount to S3,0o0,0o0 per
month, that the Secretary of the Treasury shall
continue to purchase bullion and coin s2,000,-
600 per month, as now provided by law. The
trouble is that practically the bill, as amended,
amounts to nothing, either for good or evil, and
is mere aggregation Of words intended to i'm
press the country with the belief that the
Democracy are accomplishing something ia
legislation,-an effort to deceive the attention
OF the country from the blunder of forcing au
extra Session, and their attempt to compel
LEGISLATION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 24.-The rush for
the refunding certificates at the Treasury to-day
was extraordinary. As the time approaches
whom the entire s4o00Q,0N wiu be sold, the
craze to secure them seems to increase here. It
is said that as early as o'clock this morning
there we're sixty anxious people awaiting at the
Treasury door. New arrangements had to be
made to control the mob to-day,-and, in addE
ton to quite large Treasury force OF special
watcnmen, the Chief Of Police was called upon
Tor considerable body OF reserves to

Spectators stood in rows this morning to way
lay thoae who wero fortunate enough to Get
certificates, aud purchased large amounts at
prices ranging from $2.1o to s2.50. There is no
doubt that the entire amount will be exhausted
By Thursday. The entire sum has been nearly
printed, and the extra torce OF the Engraving
aud Printing Bureau has been discontinued.
good many bank officials are OF opinion that
there will be fall in per cents certainly as early
rs September, after the Syndicate has unloaded
its corner. The course of exchange on Monday
md yesterday is interpreted at the Treasury to
indicate that foreign holders OF the per cents,
taking advantages Of the rapid increase Of the
premium IN this country; nre forwarding large
quantities Of the bonds for shle here. It is also
that considerable number OF banks
having 1o-s0s as security for their circulation
acre have decided notto replace them for the
present With per cents, on account Of the high
'rice Of the latter. The called 1040s, although
lot bearing interest, would be ample security

The contest in the coming campaign seems
now fairly made up SO far as is possible until
after the several conventions meet. The Work
ingmen's Convention will assemble June 8, and
great precautions have been taken to insure the
nomination OF a ticket free from any complica-
tions with other parties. It is expected that an
effort will be made By the New Constitution
party to capture the Convention, but the present
outlook is not favorable for the success Of the
project. In this city the ward clubs. have
pronounced in the strongest manner against
an utilization with the new party, which
they vigorously condemn as movement on the
part ct scheming politicians to rob the work
inSpen OF the fruits OF their victory. In the
Interior some OF the Workingmen's clubs have
called convention for June 23. at present
the movements seems to have but mcagre fol-
lowing, and In this city all efforts to organ izc
clubs have resulted in complete dzzles. A MUM

Smiths husband, Policeman Smith. on the

the Acknowledgement laid great stress
on the eightepage letter sent Mrs
Smith BY Bennett. The Courts charge
was very direct, and much excepted to by the
defense, On the ground that it intimated
throughout belief tn tho guilt Of the accused.
The jury was QUO three hours. The courtroom

for them. "How say you'll" asked the Clerk;
