SILVER

The popular sentiment in the
West concerning silver is expressed
by a Virginia City paper when i,
says the mining men of Nevada and
other silver producing sections will
not be likely to forget the services
rendered to them especially, as well
as to the people in the whole
country generally, by the refusal of
the Democratic majority in the House
to give Secretary Folger the $3.50, 900
which he asked for a short time ago,
to pay for printing 81 and 81 notes.
said the country was suffering
for small change. and the Demo-
Congress replied in effect:
well, why don't you give the
country some of those silver dollars
that are piled up in the vaults: The
would surely rather handle a
good clean silver dollar than a dirty,
ragged piece of paper. Give
hem the silver, good man-the
silver dollar OF their fathers. If thew |
to that, call on us again, and
veil let you have money enough to
tart up the rag mills"

PERU.

The excitement preceding a Presi.
Dental nomination and the more re
cent one caused by the Wall street
panics, have diverted public atten'
ION from the Chili-Peru embroglio
The latest advices from those coun-
tries state that the refusal of France
to recognize the Iglesias government
in Peru is attributable to the fact
THAT he is tacitiy supported by Chill,
whose interests in Peruvian guanO
beds do not harmonize with those of
France. The recognition of Presi-
dent Iglesias by the United States
occurred Oh April p, 1884, and un>
doubleday to give him the support of
friendly relations with this country
is to promote the welfare of PROSTATE
Peru. Ex-President Calderon has
been liberated from the Chilian COLI
tinement in which he has been held
for nearly three years, but it is init
mated that he will not return to Peru
as a disturber in the immediate fu-
ture, and ex-DictatOr Pierola has thus
far fulfilled the promise which he
made in New York q few weeks ago |
not to take the government out of the
hands of Iglesias. The prospect for
Peru is as favorable as could reason
ably be expected. and it Gen. lyle

The GRANT & WARD FAIL.
URE.

Our dispatches of night before last
announce the arrest of bank President
Fish of the collapsed firm of Grant
d Ward for misappropriating funds
the amount of 81, l41 600 belonging
to the bank. Ward has been in GUS
tody several days and the arrest of
Fish now leaves the two Grants the
only ones of the active members of
the firm out of the clutches of the
law. The opinion Is gaining ground
that there Is an effort being made to
put forward one Of these men az q
scapegoat upon which the Grant
boys can ride out of the disaster tney
have brought upon themselves.
In comm -nting upon this matter,
the Daily Indicator, published in
New York, holds that the RESPONSE
should be divided among the
of the firm. 1t says:
I'VE have no sympathy with a
maudlin sentiment that permits one
party to be made a scape goat in or

A WILD RUMOR.

The Washington corresponds is are
specializing on the preliminary organ
ization of the Chicago Convention.
Some of them have nosed out a plct
or Mr.. Blaine's part to get all the
delegates who are not out and out for
Arthur to agree to q preliminary OF
g%anization which, without being in
any other particular candidates in
terest, will admit the Southern anil
Arthur delegations from Virginia,
Georgia and probably Kentucky.
This is a wild rumor. Mr.. Blaine
is the strongest candidate before the
Convention. The friends OF Ed
munds, Logan, Sherman or any other
minority aspirant who may dream of
success know that their only hope
lies in Sc dividing the majority as to
create q deadlock between the two
leading candidates. 1t is not likely
that they would voluntarily add to
Blaine's strength, who is probably
already strong enough to do without
their aid.
The truth is that Mr.. Blaine has
the best prospect Of controlling the
preliminary organization at Chicago
by his own strength. The Chairman
and Secretary of the Republican
Commute are both Blame
men, and a majority Of its members
is believed to be in his favor. This
will give him the "inside track" in
the preliminary organization without
any such combination as the WASH
correspondent suggests. The
committee can refuse rec0g. |
milton to any Southern delegation
whose seats are contested, and this
would leave MI. Blaine's friends with
clear majority to decide the con>
,ests.
But this is all idle speculation Mr..
Blaine's only hope lies in breaking
a upon the Southern delegates. If
he car secur One>third Of them he
will be nominated upon the first bal
OF. Otherwise much of his own
trength will 60 to Arthur after the
lrst few ballots and his own chances
Dr. the nomination will dwindIe
own to a cipher.
