JUDGE KELLEY writes to the fhiladel-
phia Times that he met Prince Bismarck,
with the result of learning the latter's
opinion on the silver question. He re-
ports the German Chancellor as acknowl-
edging that his Government has been too
fast in dealing with silver. Bismarck
asked what the United States Government
would do in the event of refusal on the
part of European nations to cooperate in
establishing an international ratio between
gold and silver. To this significant ques-
tion the Judge reports himself as express
ing confidence that in less than two
years the American people will demand
and secure the full demonstration of sill
yer, and, continuing, he said: ''I hope
that England and other manufacturing
and commercial nations will reject our
proposal. 1t is mistake to suppose that
we alone would in that event use silver as
the standard of payment. We would have
most of the people of the world with us.
China, Japan, British India, Mexico and
Central and South America all use silver,
and in a few years we would monopolize
their trade" etc.
Here is distinct intimation from a
silver chieftain that to exclude gold as the
measure of value and substitute therefor
a single standard of silver is result not
at all to be dreaded. Evidently the
Chancellor was not disconnected by the
amazing propositions of Mr.. Kelley, for
he ventured this modest observation:
'Your country has great geographical
| advantages, But in this matter you must
not act alone" If, as appears, the Ger
man Government has reconsidered its
action and has decided not to make
further sales of silver, the Chancellor
could not have more welcome knowledge
than that this country is to play the silver
dollar to the end. even though gold be
banished from the country. The Phila-
delphia Record says the assurance with
which Judge Kelley calls himself BIZ
metallist, while declaring that he favors
the single standard of silver, is character
istic of the man. He should have read to
Prince Bismarck some of his gloomy pre-
dictions as to the disastrous effect of re-
sumption in the United States.

The financial troubles which have over
taken Rev. W. H-H. Murray, Of Boston
the author of Adirondack Sketches" are
said to be the natural result of the pecu'
liar business methods he has followed. An
expensive farm, blooded horses, a newspa,
per venture and wagon mandatory, all
requiring attention at the same time,
would tax the managerial resources OF any
man. When to these is added the care o.
a large parish during much of the time, ii
is easy to Sc how one who is constitution
ally loose in his financial methods came to
grief. 1t is thought, however, that the
same friendly hands which have been
reached out to NIr. Murray in previous
difficulties, viii again come to his assist

Ex-SPRARER MoFFETr, who was sup
posed to have been forced into hole and
compelled to pull the oriice in after him,
by his former Democratic coadjutors, re-
appeared yesterday in a three column
interview published by our Market street
neighbor. His eye does not seem to have
dimmed or his natural force abated during
his retirement. he sums up his opinion
ofthe Democratic organizatio ion in this State,
as set of .Mossbacks," more intolerant
and bigoted than that which controlled
the Spanish Inqpisition.p He thinks
Tildenswill defeat Thurman in the contest
for Democratic Presidential nomination,
by sheer strength of corruption and ras-
cality; thinks Foster will win in the Ohio
icanyass; thinks there will be three tickets
in the field in. n.onr next general election,
but that the Greenbackers, Liberal Re
publicans and Progressive Democrats will
spool their Issues in our State can
yass, and that the fight here
will be for Bourbon or anti
Bourbon supremacy. He figures, that of
the 100, 600 votes polled in this State last
fall, the Greenbackers had %, ,0O0, including
10000 Republican votes, and the Republi-
cans $4,000. These combined would give
10000 majority over any Bourbon candi-
date who might benominated and Coali-
ton party could thus sweep the State.
The balance of the Ex-Speaker's inter-
view consists of review of his own
course during the recent session of the
from which it appears that he
has no apologies to offer for his actions at
that time.
