The National Committee met; Jim
Blaine had his schemes and wire-pul-
lers at work, but all without success.
Hon. John A. Logan, the noble soldier,
fights for national political liberty by
advocating representation to all in the
next convention, which was manly.
The absolute need of a true represent
ative in the next convention is one of
the cardinal requisites that the District
Republicans should look out for. We
are opposed to such men to represent
us who were sent to the last conven-
tion. We don't want any more statues
sent from this city who had no more
influence than a ten-year-old child.
We want men on the
NATIONAL COMMITTEE
who have weight enough to do some
thing Tor the oppressed colored people
in this city, and the sooner DR.. c. B.
Purvis is removed from the National
Committee the better it will be for the
District Republicans. We are conf
dent that Purvis' chances for remain
ing are slim. In the next election for
delegates TO the convention to chose
delegates to the National Convention,
Purvis will not be able to carry his
own district. He will be left by a
large majority. He will be defeated to
the National Convention and thus be
removed from the National Committee
THE DUTY
of the District Republicans is to see
that no man goes to the next conyen-
tion who is opposed to suffrage in the
District of Columbia. Purvis is op-
posed to suffrage, and declares that
this is the best governed city in the
country. He didn't think so before he
was appointed surgeon in charge of
the Freedmen's Hospital. The fact is
that the commissioner government in
the District of Columbia is failure
The sooner the commissioner govern
ment is abolished and the political
rights of over sixty negroes restored
the better it will make the condition Of
affairs. A great number are anxious
and willing to go to the next conven-
tion, among whom is Commissioner J..
r. West. Unless Hon. J. r. West does
more for us than what he has done, he
with the rest, will be left.

THAT HISTORICAL WHITE
TOWEL.

To tie Editor Of the Neac York Times !:
Nv attention has been called 20 an
article recently printed in the Post, Of
this city, and credited 10 your enter
prising paper, in which it is stated that
the AppomattoX flag of truce disap-
peared after the surrender. and that an
article written 10y the Confederate Col.
Sims, of South Carolina, for the Char
lesion NelcS and Courier had interested
many persons in the search for it, and
that it had been recently found in the
possession of Mrs. Custer, the widow
OF the late Gen. Custer, to whom it
was presented by Gen. Sheridan.
Now that those interested may have
the "bottom facts" in regard to that
flag of truce, let me say that it has not
been missing" one hour since that day
when Gen. Gordon begged me to take
il and stop the Federal infantry line OF
battle. after which it was given to
Gen. Custer then and there by myself.
I NAV be excused, perhaps, for detail
ing the circumstances under which the
cid white towel (yalue about % cents }
served the double duty OF announcing
the surrender of Lees army almost ST.
multaneously to a charging column of
Sheridan's entire cavalry and Ord's in
fantry corps in line of battle, that were
closing in around Lee from separate
points of the compass. Gen. Custer on
the night before had made impossible
the further retreat of Lees army to-
ward Lynchburg by charging on to
Appomattox Station, in advance of or
ders, capturing the depot and railway
supply trains, and, after desperate
night battle, capturing Is pieces OF ar
tiilery and planting his command

Mr.. PATRICK EGAN is seized with a
good and practicable idea concerning the
relations of Ireland to England. He pro-
poses the establishment of the Union as
it existed before 1900. Ireland's relations
to England would then be more nearly like
those of Hungary to Austria than those of
any other two States in the world. If
England could control her natural hogglsh-
ness long enough to permit this to be done,
she, as well as ireland, would benefit from it,

DURING the movement for the remoneti-
zation of the silver dollar it was freely pre-
dicted by the opponents of the measure
that glut of silver would sooner or later
inevitably follow that action and that
such a glut would work evil and disaster
to the business of the country. The reason
was plain. The silver dollar was worth
less than one hundred cents in gold. Hence,
whenever by unlimited coinage, silver dol
lars became abundant and cheap, as com
pared with gold dollars, debtors would
take advantage of it and pay their dues,
public and private, in the cheaper money.
This would cause the withdrawal of gold
from circulation and the depreciation of the
greenback to the silver standard. Gold
would disappear and the country would be
flooded with silver coins worth consider
ably less than their face value.
All these things were foretold but the
silver men had their way. The silver
dollar was made a legal-tender for any
amount, and, practically, its unlimited
coinage was authorized and begun.
Now the evils prophesied are beginning
to be felt. The trouble begins ia Texas
where silver has been the practical stand
ard from the time whence the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary. silver
glut exists there. Consequently silver coin
sells for less than its face, as measured in
gold and greenbacks, gold being the
practical standard throughout the
rest of the United States and
greenbacks at par with gold. The banks
have given notice that in self-defense they
will be obliged to charge the current rate
of discount on silver paid to them. This
discount will be the cost of sending the sill
yer East. When gold commands pre-
MUM all over the country we shall have a
silver standard, with the result of driving
gold from the country and lowering the
legal-tender greenbacIs to the level OF
silver.
Such are the effects of the coinage legis-
lation that sprang from mixture of senti-
mentalism over the dollar Of the daddies on
the one hand and from dishonest desire
to obtain "cheap" money wherewith to pay
debts on the other hand.

Evening Journalism Developing.

Denver Tribune.
There seems to have been q radical change
in the scheme of conducting evening papers.
Not very long ago II was the idea that an even-
ing paper should be devoted to gossip, chat,
home news and miscellaneous literature,
without any reference to teegraphlc matter,
II being deemed the special province OF the
morning papers to look after events occurring
outside the limits of tho city where the even
ing paper was published. The evening paper
used to be called the family circle paper--a
thing that afforded pleasant but not specially
fresh reading. But 1t is quite different now.
The evening paper of to-day deems 1t import
ant to devote as much attention to news
features as Its morning contemporaries. All
over the country the afternoon prints are
reaching out by telegraph as extensively rs
their moro pretentious rivals. Such twilight
publications as the Cincinnati 7tmsS.SilT, the
ST. Louis Post. Dispatch, the Chicago NelpS and
Chicago journal have their own private tele
graph wires to the East and the New York
Telegram is famous for Its European dis.
patches, o feature In which 1t surpasse3 even
the Ht7dld. The change in the policy OF con-
Quoting evening papers ia doubtless due to
the fact that the public esteem news as tho
choicest literature to be had and will pay for
the news when they would not buy paper
devoted simply to the more elegant class Of
reading.
