LONDON, July ga Paris correspon.
dent says: At yesterdays sitting Of the
Monetary Conference Mr.. Eyarts, del
egate from the United States, read the
following declaration OF the French and
American delegates in the name OF their
respective Governments: The depre-
citation and great fluctuations in the
value OF silver relatively to gold, which
of late years have shown themselves,
and which continue 10 exist, have been,
and are,
Injurious to Commerce
and the general prosperity, and the es.
tablishment and maintenance OF fixed
relative value between silver and gold
would produce most important bene
fit to the commerce of the world. A
convention entered into by an impOr
tant group of States, by which they
should agree to open their mints to a
free and unlimited coinage OF silver and
gold contained in the monetary unit Of
each metal, and with full legal tender
faculty to the money thus used, would
cause and
Maintain a Stability
in the relative value of the two metals
suitable to the interests and require.
ments of the commerce of the world.
Any ratio now, or OF late, in nsc by any
commercial nation, ii adopted by
such An important group ol
States, could be maintained, but the
adoption oi ration Of l5l Of silver to
OF gold would accomplish the principal!
object with less disturbance to the mon
etary system to be affected by it than
any other ratio. Without considering
the effect which might be produced to
ward the desired object by lesser
combination Of States, a combination
which should include England, France,
Germany and the United States, with
the concurrence of the other States,
both in Europe and on the American
continent, would be adequate to pro
duce and maintain throughout the com-
mercial world relation between the
two metals that such combination
should adopt.

A Gathering of the Stalwart Clans.
ALBANY, July 9.-Immedately after
the adjournment of the Legislature to-
day there was meeting OF the leading
Stalwarts in Speaker Sharpe's room.
Those present appeared to be in high
glee over something which pleased them
greatly. Among those present was ex.
Lieutenant Governor Woodford, who
was very active, both before and during
the session OF the joint caucus. Ii is
said that he brought to the capital the
wishes of ex-senator Conkling.
There are remaining in the city
but very few members, and there Is
no canvasssng. The administration sup
porters are bound by their caucus to
continue voting for their nominees, and
the caucus adjourned sine die. No au-
thority was given to any one 10 call 1t
together again. 1t cannot reassemble
except through general call, which,
as was intimated by Senator WoOdin in
his speech, cannot be depended upon.
Many think there is now hopeless

in the voting to. day, and strong pres.

ALBANY, July l0.-Few members are
in the city, and there is but little talk as
to what will be done by the joint con-

feel certain that they will elect their

The Stalwarts will insist on caucus
regularly called, and without any re-
strictions attached. They say they are
willing to abide by its decison.

sin Was not a Southern man. but will
say ! regret that he is an American.
The crime, black enough in itself. has
deeper dye from the mercenary motive
which seems to have prompted it. l
sincerely hope the President may re-
cover, and that the startling event will
arouse the people to the consideration OF
remedy for the demorali. ton which

exception. The Survival of the

Washington Society.

Following is the Evening Stars
account Of one of those pleasant
events occurring in Washington
which makes society there so
charming:
The members of the Unity club
and their invited guests met last
evening at the residence of Mrs.
Kate Bruce, 1885 / street north
west, where the hostess cordially
received the club. Her parlors
were very bright and charmingly
arrayed. The following program
was excellently rendered: Piano
solo by Mrs. Oldberg; essay-The
Art OF Traveling-A Fly Across
the Continent, by Col. /. :. Tiche-
nor, in which the essayist began
with a pleasing reference to Count
Oxenstiern, Swedish statesman
Of the seventeenth century, and
his words TO his son. My son, you
do not yet know, with how little
wisdom men are governed" which
was satiiicaIly changed TO "my son,
come up 10 London aud see by
what fools England IS governed. "
From these expressions the essay
ist gave q very able and interest
ing essay ON the art of travelling
as an educator. This was follow
ed by a song from Mr.. Whipple
(Mr. Jacco, pianist), reading by
Mrs. Bruce; song by Miss Eva
Mills, with encore, and a beauti-
ful basket of flowers; an original
poem by DIR. c. Warren; recitation
by Miss Screiner; song by Mr..
Whipple and recitation by DIR.
Frank White. BY the recent re-
strictions as TO invited guests the
crowd was not so crushing as
formerly.

livering an essay "The Art of

good things upon similar occasions.

The New Ell Dorado.

The region IF country known as
Wood river, Idaho, was an unex-
plored country a few years ago.
Some men Of Yankee fork, believ-
ing that there were rich deposits
Of gold and silver on the head wa
ters of Salmon river, and having a
full share Of the adventurous and
never satisfied spirit common to
miners, started cut to explore the
latter section about two years ago.
They were reasonably successful.
Leads of silver ore which they
found are now worked, producing
ore assaying from 800 to 5000
ounces per ton. y few OF the
more restless ones of the party
were soon on the road to a coun-
try still more unknown to them.
in two days they had made the
summit of the Sawtooth mountains
and camped on the Wood river
side Of the divide where Galena
city now stands. They had not
been prospecting day before
they brought in large lump OF
Galena ore, causing great excite
ment in the party. They made
nine locations and all started back
TO Yankee fork. There they had
their various samples Of ore assay
ed, and it ran up into the
hundreds of ounces in silver,
with sixty to seventy per cent.
lead. This news soon spread
abroad and caused great excite
ment. Everyone who could scare
up a cayuse started Immediately
to find a fortune. Spring found
them all back again. They had to
return on account of the deep
snow. BY spring the news had
spread to Utah, Nevada and Wash
ington and numbers ilocked to the
new Nevada. Goods were hauled
from Salt Lake and Boise. Men
were not to be had 10 work at anv
price. All who were able were
out prospecting. Many claims
had been found on the lower river
IN the course OF a month. from
which hundreds of tons of ore have
been taken out and sent to vari-
Gus markets. Bellevue has now
COO inhabitants, good public
school and polled 210 votes last
fall. Galena and Ketchum have
200 inhabitants each. The outlet
TO this region is via Blackfoot, a
station on the Utah and Northern
railroad. Bellevue is 122 miles in
a westerly direction from Black
foot; with a good wagon road all
the way.

vIRGINIA's DOWNFALL

So long as the South is banded
in solid phalanx against the Repub
Iicsn party, it is not an easy mat
ter for them to carry a Presidential
election. Indiana and New York
going Democratic defeat them, and
there are also New Jersey, Connec~
ticut, Oregon and California, from
which fifteen votes added to the vote
of New York makes Republican suc-
cess very doubtful and very difficult.
In fine, with "solid South" il re-
quires for Republican success the
three combined elements of millions
of money to bride and buy, the bull
doing of northern opel atives on g.
large scale, and no common amount
of stupidity on the part of the DEM
ocratic leaders. With this combina
ton they have picked the lock OF
the Federal Treasury.
To make this conspiracy more eff
fective, Virginia is the fret State TO
be experimental upon, and Malone
has been contracted with to deliver
the goods. She is the Mother of
States and Pesdents;' she holds the
tomb of Wash ngton and the graves
of Lee and Jackson. She was the
chief citadel of the Coufederacy and
it's field of blood. To divide her is
to distract other Southern States,
and perpetuate Republican ascend
ancy at the Fede. al Capital and over
the whole land. Virginia has fallen.
She has parted from her brethl en-.
She has endorsed Malone. She has
surrendered the Senate to a common
enemy. She has repudiated her
debt, and made the triumph of the
constitutional party of the country
more problematical than ever, Since
Caligula's house was made First
Consul by the Roman, we know OF

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
HAS DONE FOR GEORGIA.

In ten years the Democratic party
has reduced the taxes of the people
Just exactly one-half. The tax rate
in Georgia is now just one half what
it was even six years ago. This is
a record no other State can show.
In ten years the Democratic par
ty has reduced the cost of running
the government Of the State more
than one half 1t has reduced the
salary of every official that serves
the State from errsnd boy to chief
Justice. 1t has reduced every spec
cial fund and every appropriation to
nearly one,half, and many of them
to one-third. This reduction has
been gradual and constant.
In ten years it has SO lifted the
credit of the State that the interest
on her bonds has been reduced from
10 per cent. to 4 per cent. and OF
the floating debt from 8 per cent. to
5. 1t has raised the credit If the
State go that our low per cent. bonds
now bring more than the high per
cent. bonds brought few years ago.
The saving to the people from the
reduction Of the expenses and interr
est is so great, that even the halt
taxes now collected make a surplus
where the high taxes formerly left a
deficiency. And the Legislature
