BIMETALISM IN GERMANY.
The Times, in financial article, says
statement to the effect that leading German
statesmen are highly favorable to bimetalism
is published in the Paris Bourse. If it be
well founded, the German government ap-
pears at length to have realized what was
predicted from the first-that in her exist
ing commercial posititiop, Germany is in
capable of maintaing the single gold stand
ard. The Paris BOu, Sc says: "Leading men
of Germany have been won over to the
cause of bimetalism, not through conviction,
but necessity, and that the advocates
for a new plan for an international
agreement or common basis include Won
Karderkof, Won Merbach, and Aid. Schorle-
maralet." We (the TEme) have no sympathy
with their dream of a uniform ratio between
gold and silver, which is about as realizable
as uniform ratio between cheese and corn,
but the fact of an agitation for the rehabili
tation of silver in Germany is too significant
to be overlooked.
THE PARNELLITEs.
Although no distinctive1 policy has yet
been adopted by the home rulers, it is GER
tain great effort will be made by the Parpell-
ties to prevent the party from attaching
itself to the liberals. The Parnellites have
passed a resolution pledging an active support
to an independent opposition. The Parnell-
ties will take their place in the house on the
opposition benches. In the absence of Par
nell, MIR. ODonnell acts as chief. Shaw's
supporters have refused to participate in
Parnell's land conference to-day, owing to
the extreme resolutions to be submitted on
land tenure in Ireland.
